A BIg, Advantage. .A delightful story was told recently by Mrs. Wintringbam, who was the first English -born lady to sit in the `Nouse of Commons, regarding a friend of hers who was very fond of doge. The lady in question started to tease a little girl, aged four, about her baby brother, aged one. "Hoax old did you say tie was? she asked. "One year," replied• the child. "And can he walk yet?" Y'- "O>" course he can't. He's too young," • "Obi," said the lady,. -"Well, my dog- gie there is only one year old, and you see he can run. about quite well." The little girl eyed the frisking; ani- mal intently for a few seconds. "So the ought," she said, at last de- eidodly. "He's got a double set of legs.", Awkward for the Hostess. • The vetrean novelist, Mr. Thomas Hardy, tellsan amusing anecdote conn earning a famous man whose alsent- mindedness was proverbial, On one occasion a well-known So- ciety lady invited several literary peo- ple to her house to meet him, and this man, being the guest of honor, took his• hostess in to dinner. The meal, however, did not meet _ with his ap- proval, and after struggling through the first two courses he turned to the Iady and addressed her thus: "`You reallymust excuse the hope- lessness of the dinner. I have been advising my 'wife for the last three months to. dismiss our cook, who is- absolutely incompetent at her job, but for some reason she still keeps her." I Where They Eat the Octopus.

These, according to their position, 'areviolet; indigo, blue, green, yello-w, p•range and 'red. When there is but one bow visible the red color is at the top and the violet be- low. If there is a secondary bow the colors in it are reversed. Rarely, a third or even other bows, is visible.

My Bleeping porelz opens directly from wy bedroom and, as it Is aeparated front it by a glees partition, is plainly vis- ible to any one inside the room. For this reason it was necessary to take every measure to keep the porch. in apple-pie order, . As it contains three small iron bede, the first step was to cover diemin such a way that they would not be too conspicuous and would he uniform in appearance. First, we covered the head and foot- boards of the ;beds with close -fitting slip -covers•, of linen -colored cotton homespun. These extend to the mat- tress on oneside and to the floor on the other, thus entirely hiding the frames of the beds. Along the seams; outlining the shape of the bed,. was stitched red and yellow braid about an inch and a. quarter wide. Spreads for the beds were then made off the same material with the braid stitched along the edge .Where the straight flounce •is, seamed on. These covers were made about thirty inches longer than the bed to allow for folding over the pil- lows: The next problem was to provide for the_ extra blankets and puffs. These would be very untidy if left on the bed ard would spoil the trimness of the bed if piled under the covers. The problem was solved by, making of ,the same cotton homespun, large eovel-. opes or fiat pockets the size of the springs, to which they were 'fastened underneath by tapes. • 'At one side of the bed they were left open. so that the extra bedding can be placed here when not used and yet be within easy reach when needed, Old -Fashioned Flowers.

Surnames and Their Origin LIND Variations -- Lynd, Liieleman, Lind- Strom, Linden, Lindley, Lynn. Raelal Origin—English, also German. Source--fleogrophicEt. IIn this country to -day we pay little attention to trees, so little iudeed-that the average person, particularly among the city dwellers, does not know one from anotll:er. This was not the case in medieval and early modern times, when trees: were widely used as land- marks in establishing locations, All of the fancily names in this list belong to the geographical class, .nerd they he are ale derived from the name of ias tnroew, tand liwndan,in. thtehenaMmieddalef Awhgiecsh, . when family nanios were formed, vir- tually the same in both English and German. • It is impossible to determinede- finitely in the cases of most of the family navies given In the foregoing whether they are German or English. The naive Lindstrom is certainly -Ger- man, meaning "lindstream," that is,a stream or river bordered by, linden trees. • Dwellers hi such a locality of- ten' f-ten• were known. by such a name as Haus of the Lindeustream, the pre- fixed words being dropped in German as they have in_ similar circumstances in English. Lindley is an 'English name formed from the name of the tree and "ley" an old English word for "shelter." Lynd is the closest we have to the old English spelling of the name of the tree. Lynn in sonic cases, when it Is not Celtic, is a variation of this spell- ing There is evidence that Lind, Linde - man and Linden are of both L+'uglish and Cowman derivation. CALVERT :.

The endings "ext,' "ard" and"art" in family names, when they aro i ct traceable to the old Teutonic '"hard" which is compounded in so many given navies, nearly always indicate an old Anglo-Saxon word of another meaning "herd.'"

The advantage of .sponging wood be- fore staining are many. It frequently happens that the grain rises when the 1 stain is applied but by sponging the wood first and then allowing it to dry the raisedlgrain may be sandpapered level " and thus a recurrence of the trouble is avoided when the stain is put on. Another advantage of • sponging lies in the factthat water opensthe pores of the wood, and thus any clogged con- dition arising from ---previous sand- papering is remedied and furthermore the stain is enabled to sink deeply'1n- to the wood. This produces a very even color capable of standing light sandpapering if such is found neces sexy to produce the .smooth surface on which the suceess of goad varnishing depends. Another great advantage is this—that when a filler• is used with- out previously sponging, the old sand- 1'►aper dust and other material which clogs the pores absorbs water from the stain and remains damper than the wood in contact with the air. When the foreign material does dry out it does so by absorption through the sur- rounding wood which causes shrinkage and settlement and pulls the varnish coat down into the pores. Or again, the same moisture /nay, by expansion, force the varnish out in small spots, especially if the varnish is applied. In an excessively warm atmosphere, Dawn.
