It should precede the savings hank account, the home, yes, even new clothes, or butter on the table. No man has a right to take a girl out of her father's home without protecting her from starvation in CHse of the accident of death. "There comes the unhappy word again ? death. Yet the shadow of It need not rest heavily upon us. The un fortunate thing about a will la that It Is associated In the average man's life only with death. It should be associated with life. The time for a man to make a will Is today, while he can do It with a smile on his lips, and the Jests and good wishes of Ids witnesses ringing cheerily In his ears. Such a man cannot cheat death of Its ulti mate victory; but he robs it of its sting, for he has made death powerless to bring poverty and distress to those who are left behind." ? Woman's Home Companion. Hedges vs. Fences. Tn many parts of the country hedges nre taking the place of fences, and the change Is certainly a desirable one from the standpoint of beauty. They require little, If any, more care than a fence, aud are equally us serviceable. Of course, we don't mean that hedges are more desirable for fields than f4?nces, but as a surrounding for the house and yard they are preferable. There are two general kinds of hardy lu'dges, the deciduous and evergreen, but the former Is more common in this country and sroms to meet with the most favor. In planting deciduous shrubs, a trench 4 feet wide and 6 Inches deep should be dug the length I of the row. A drainage should then j be provided of broken stone and the l)4'd filled with the best soil It Is possi ble to obtain. In planting, care should be taken to follow the direction given by the nurseryman, so that when the shrubs mature they will be close enough together ? Exchange. Kissing the Black Stone. As well die a Jew or a Christian as not make the pilgrimage to Mecca, sold Mahomet ; and no obligation of Islam is more piously discharged. It Is believed that the ritual connected with the visit to the Ka'aba ? the "square building" ? and the kissing of the black stone go back to days of Idolatry, the "time of ignorance" before the new faith ?bloomed, says the London Chronicle. The black stone, which measures about six Inches by eight, Is believed to have fallen from Paradise, to have been guarded during the deluge and handed to Abraham by Gabriel when the Ka'aba was built. Certain parts of the ceremonial ? the throwing of stones at the devil, and the Imitation of Ilagar's distracted wanderings In the desert, are supposed to have had significance for the pre-Mohammedan times as well as for Islam. Meaning of "America." What does the word "America" mean? Few know. It is derived from the word Amabrlc, a proper name which represented the old Germanic Ideal of heroism and leadership. Then the Norman French softened it to Amaury. Then In Italy they changed It to Amelrlgo. Bat the Juxtai>osltlon of the "1" and the "r" bothered the Italians, and It became Amerrlgo, and finally with one "r." Thus It became the mime of Amerigo Vespucci, a Flor entine merchant and explorer. And it' Is In honor of his voyages of explora tion to the new world that a German genera pher. Martin Waldseemuller by name, gave th?> name America to" the continent. ?

"In gloomy, Hettled, stormy weather nobody whist lea, not even boys; but when brighter weather comes every body perks up, and my theory Is that the boys, with their alert, keen youth ful susceptibility to Impressions, sense ^changes In the weather quicker than anybody else. "I have observed this tuany times and It Is a practically sure Indication when on a rainy day you hear boyH passing along the street whistling you may be reasonably certain that It Is going to clear up." STILL GOT THEIR NICKNAMES Fond Father Vainly Imagined He Could Proteot Hla Offspring From the Common Lot. William Williams hated nicknames. He used to nay that most flue given names were ruined by abbreviation, which was u sin and a shame. "I, myself," he Wild, "am one of six broth ers. We were all given good old-fash ioned Christian names, but all of those names were shortened Into meaning less or feeble monosyllables by our friends. I shall name my children so that It will be Impracticable to curtail their names." The Williams family, in the course of time, was blessed with five chil dren, all boys. The oldest was named after the father ? William. course that could be shortened to "Will" or enfeebled to "Willie"? but wait ! A second son came, and was christened Willard. "Aha!" chuckled Mr. Wil liams. "Now everybody will have to speak the full name of each of these boys. In order to distinguish them." In pursuance of this scheme, the next three sons were named Wllbert, Wilfred and Wllinot. The Ave boys are now respectively known to their Intimates as Bill, Skinny, Dutch, Chuck and Kid. ? Cleveland Plain Denier. Got Good Advice. A millionaire kid recently decided to go to work and accepted -a position In the office of his father, who is the pres. Idcnt of a railroad running Into New York. The young man had an obses sion that opportunity selects Its favor ites from wealthy candidates, but the clerks in the office thought otherwise. In fact, they made it so disagreeable for the youngster that he appealed to his father. When he heard the true story he lectured his son thusly : "This corporation which employs you has a chairman who started In life us a boot black. The first vice president was born on n farm, worked his way through college, and incidentally took care of his invalid mother and futher. These men had no wealthy connec tions, but they never side-stepped hard work, and if you take my advice you won't either. You cannot drift along and get ahead. Be friendly with your associates In the office." The diffident youth saw a new light and is now In line for promotion. Famous Fencing Matters. Metternlch says, In his Memories, that he was sent to Strasbourg in the summer of 1788, and that he had the same fencing master as Bonaparte, who had Just left the school. This fencing master, a M. Justet, called on Metternlch when he was passing through Strasbourg, In 1806, and re marked that It was a funny thing that he should have given Metternlch fenc ing lessons shortly after having given some to Napoleon. "I hope," he added, "that my pupils, the emperor of the French and the Austrian ambassador In Paris, will not think of fighting each other !" An old Almanac d'Alsace also witnesses to the fact that there was, in that year, a fencing master of the name of Justet living In Stras bourg. Carbon Ink Best at Preaent. If an Ink could be produced possess ing the desirable properties of perfect fluidity and being non-deposltlng, and at the same time Incapable of being decolorised by oxidizing or reducing agents, there would be good reason to believe that the writing done by such an Ink would be practically permanent. In the meantime, when writing Is of an Important nature and is desired to endure, some form of carbon Ink ap pears to be the only trustworthy preparation. ? Exchange. Value of Assumption.
