Concord Was Selected After Fifty Years of Controversy. The name of Concord, N. H., was given to the town after a controversy which lasted fifty years. In 1725 the land now within its bounds was grant ed to the colonists under the name of Peacock by the colony of Massachu jetts: This claim was disputed by the colony of New Hampshire, which two years later granted this same land to the township of Bow. 1733 Massachu setts Incorporated Peacock into *a township named Rumford, and -for more than forty .,ars a fierce legal controversy was es(ed on. No agree ment could be reached, and the mat ter was taken to 'the afithorlties in England, but even then there was no satisfactory nor permanent settlement. In the face of ..ah evident leanin toward the claims of Bow, both In England and in America, the little band 'of .colonists in Rumford fought on vallantly. and In 1765 an act of Incorporation was granted to the in habitants of Rumford. This was still highly unsatisfactory because it only made them a parish in the town of Bow. The controversy continued until 1774, when it was finally settled and an Independent town was formed under the name of Concord. It was due to the devotion of the little band of settlers to their cause and the unity which existed among them that tie independent incorporation of the town was finally obtained, and it was emi nently fitting that the concord which existed between them auring the strug gle of nearly fifty years should be memorialized in their 'town's name Ladies' Home Journal. DODGED THE WASPS. Escaped a Stinging. A man on his first trip Into the wilds and marshes of an unknow-n country with the United States drainage engi neers was struck by a unique method they have-th esca'pe from the attack -of waspa adfhornets. *The country traversed is -geberally covered- with thick bndergrowfh,'And'h pith 6as to be crt-through- this all aloiij tlie-lin6. So when a 'big wasp 'ziest 9 ieadhed 4. there is very little 'waniig,-'some times the axmen cutting into a bidoie with their machetes. The. person- relating this- experibee was some sixty feet behind the ax men with the instrument 'when all at once the two aimen dropped in theiftracks -s--if they ta'd been struck by a 'thunderbolt. - The man -behind and the two chainmen dfd likewise. While they -were lying prone on the , grass and wet marsh they heard what sounded like bullets zooing over their heads. One after the other they came with angry zips. When things had quieted down a bit work was con tinued, and the new man found that to escape from wasps or hornets the thing to do was to drop iistante. The insects seem to be so mad that they fly in straight lines along a level and do not have time to hunt around for you. It is said that hornets are not so prone to follow this rule, as wasps, but the wasps never vary. 'Men haTs been stung- to death -by hornets, ang horses and mule's likewise.-Chicago Record-Herald. A Roerd In Fletcherizing. If they learn the -art of chewing even people whose food expense is only threepence a day can make th'eir mes last a long time. A chewer, accords( to dietetic experts, is one who cheW9 all things so long as they -have any taste left in them. Gladstone, we are told, used -to- take thirty-two bites to3 every. mouthful of foof . The modern school or ':'ewers would regard this as dangerously rapid eating. "I have tried chewing conscientiously," writes Mr. Eusta~ce Miles. "A banana has cost 800 bites, a small mouthful of bread and cheese 240 bites, a greedy mouthful of biscuit (while I was walk ing on a Yorkshire moor) over 1,000 bites. It still seemed to taste about as much as at first, but I knew that tasto b'y then, so I swallowed."-London Chronicle. ,____ Comforting.

For instance, Lind is derived from a Teutonic word meaning a "snake." The apparently quiet and harmless surname Wren comes from a word which 'denotes "rapine."
