Aow Did anada Get Its Name?
" Canada " s a corruption of the Spanish
phrase " Aca nada," meaning " tliere is
nothing here.' The Spaniards visited Can-
ada before the French, and they looked dili-
gently for pie ions metals but found none, a
fact they oftei4 expreseed to each other in
the words "Aa nada." The Indians grew
to understand the phrase and its meaning
and •when the French arrived the natives,
anxious to get rid of the intruders, informed
them, "There is nothing here," using the
Spanish language, never doubting but that
thele toreigners understood the lingo as
well aie the last invaders. The Feench,
hearing the continually recurring words,
thought they cpuld apply only to the name
of the country,land accordiugly they dubbed
the large dominion Canada, a name it has
borne ever sin e.

Photographing Bullets.
t is no news that cannon balls and bul-
let can be photographed as they dart
through the air, but Professor C. V. Boys
ha e recently made some experiments in
pleetographing flying bullets that cast new
light upon their motion, and their effect,
up n the air through which they pass.
rofessor Boys fires the bullet through a
bo*lined with black cloth, and 80 arranged
Unit the passing bullet itself completes an
eleetric circuit and causes a flash of light in
th ' box, which, though lasting o ly one -
mi lionth da second, suffices to i print a
phetograph of the bullet on a se sitized
plate contained in the box.
;cot only are the bullets the selves
phcf7tographed, but also the atm • spheric
wa ea created by their passage. I front
of the bullets are seen the waves of c miens-
ation, and behind them the waves o rare-
faction, and intere,sting observatio is have
been Made on the peculiar forms f these
waves. 1 .
As each bullet dashes through th box it
touches the terminals of two wires in the
electric circuit, and the little cloud if duet
into which the end of the wires is ulver-
ized also has its image imprinted n the
photographic plate.
- Professor Boys has experhnented with
the photographing of charges of small shot
fired from shonguns, and the final result of
these experiments ie awaited with much in-
terest, because it promises to throw light
upon the manner in which guns of different
patterns scatter shot. e -

by John Moody, and as they were hurried-
ly endeavoring to cross the G. T. R. tracks
near the Junction station before an ap-
proaching train, Mr. Moody's horse became
frightened and stopped, throwing the driver
fromi his wagon. This compelled Mr,

—Arrangements are in progress fo the
erection in Hamilton, Oatario, of works for
the refining of nickel -copper ores on al argo
scale. A company is about to be org4 ize.d
with a capital of $10,000,000, with the ob-
jects of operating nickel mines which have
already been acquired and te refine nickel
and copper and to manufacture nickel steel
in Caned* In this company some of the
largest business firms in England and Ger-
many will be shateholdera, aiad also a num-
ber of wealthy American capatiliets.1 The
works will embrace blast furnaces, refining
plants and rolling mills. As now planned'
these works will cover an area of needy a
mile in length and will have a service:J of 22
miles of railway. -
- —There may be some difficulty in prove
ing that Edward St. George, who was ar-
rested in Ottawa on the charge of attempt-
ing to poison his family, did the deed. The
coculus indices was found in the tea, but it
'is contended Ithat is no evidence that St.
Ceorge had anything to do with its .presence
there. It is eaid that these coculus berries
grow in Iudia, and are often found in the
cheapest sg,rades of tea, and this may ac-
count for the poison being in the teapot.
This is the tb ory advanced by certain
parties.

HOW T CAME ABOUT.
lenge-tell Prcjhi1,ItJon of Marriage
With a De eased NVIfe's Sister.
This prohibi ion, which has dame, so
much discusSIE n in England, grew 0111 of
the ancient tri al law forbidding a fa t I er
to sell more han one daughter to the
same nian when the Britoil was em&'rg-
ing
from polygamy rind when for 21
shillinge of the present money a m
might dismiss his wife or kill her i ehe
would not go. As civil law it was to p ci-
tect the, living wife and knit tribes do er
together by intermarriage.
When ecclesiastical law became Ju-
preme, a misreading of some Script re
text was used to putthe sister of a ma 's
ifrife among the prOhibited degrees of 1e-
1 tionship. This Wes the act of 1541 t32
enry VIII): "A Man may not mail's his
eceased ivife's siAer nor her dal ghter,
ut he may marry his first cousin.'
While the mated ge, laws of 154 have.
been altered and a ended and re ritten,
until they no more esemble now th laws
of that day than a modern loco iotive
resembles a chariot of Alexander t is one,
section has been preserved Tntact and
reads today word Per word as it did then.
The prohibition is not known today in.
any other country. It does not apply In.
Scotland or Ireland—only in England. It
is avoided by any persons wishing to;
marry going- to Scotland or Ireland or
France or the United States, and thei
Euglish civil law is that a marriage valid'
where contracted Is valid everywhere.;
The lex loci governs except in polygas
mous countries. The law of 1541 is al
.dead letter in England, exceptfor the re-
ligions who will not disobey heir bish-
ops, and it gives rise to no sus ll amount
of scandal and bitter feelin and , re -
1 ligious rancor when Smith arries his
k wife's sister in Edinburgh and brings herl
I back to New York to live a bis legal
I wife, which she is. The mai rine eon -
tract depends upon the law o Scistland
and must be decided by it.—New York

The old comfortable Idea about a $1-50
book was that t was made for about 75
cents:sold to a Jobber for about $1, p are
ed on by him to a retailer for about$1 12
and then, neatly wrapped by itself, ith
a pleasant remark about the went er
thrown in, sold to a waiting customer-, or
$1.50, and he took It home under Ms a. m.
Today the same book is made Tor ab ut
50 cents, but it is sold to the custo er
for 90 cents or $1, and it is handled by
the thousand, delivered to the archa er,
and its sale is only an incident of a ,v st
traffic. More books are sold Wh re
5,000 copies were a giddy suee ss no one
begins to talk sales now m eh under.
100.000, but the percentage of success_ is.
no bigger, and the original ri k on the
new book is equally big for uecess or
failure. .
The practical result is that n ore books
have t� be sold for the old proii , and the
chance of a publiMier getting a ood book
is no better. The -standard classic's"
have to be sold by the cnrioad o make a
profit. lihere are no stocks 'bleb sell

carry them. The frig ends of editions are
cleared out as "remainders." The $1.50
book that makes e failure, V% hich was
once decorously allowed to die oilt
through the slow sale of 1,00Cf copies
over a decade, is cleared out in 15 or 20
nionths, aud the able hook which the re-
viewer assured you Was worth buying

When Barnuni's "Greatest Show on

States on its annual tour, visiting every
city of 40,000 inhabitants or more, it cov-
ered an area of nearly 3,000,000 square
miles and even then appealed to a Pent
uation of less than 60.000,000. _Cody
Hamilton once told me that over 90000,-
000 tickets had been sold for thls how.
Of Barnum's autobiography and his
"Humbugs of the World" and 'Lion

been sold. Though not a humbug, Bar-
num was the prince of humbuggers. He
began his career as showman by ex !bit-
ing Washington's nurse, Joyce Heth set-
ting her age down at 161 years. Who
else would have had the nerve to do
that? He made $1,500 a week o t of

Colonel HIgginson says: "The wor -a ot
public speaking begin with the audi nee.
They imply contact; they are ele tic;
they represent' a eircuita establishe be-
tween man and man. From the face of
the audience the speaker draws partly
what he says. One of the most accom-
plished women I ever knew used to say
that she did not know- which really
taught us most about a person—to know
everything that he had ever done, to read
everything he had ever written or the
first glance at his face. There was a
wonderful amonne of truth in that state-
ment. There is !something in the per -
Nona' contact whinh givealhe power and

Worry is the epidemic of the day—an
epidemic more widespread, more insidious,
more deadly than any pestilence recorded in
the history of human calamity. Worry is
the most fatal of diseases„ for it predisposes
to all diseaees. A great authority has -said
"Fundamentally there is but one diseaee—
debility." Worry prodeces debility., and
through this debility the patient is rendered
vulnerable to a host of ills. Worry, direct-
ly or indirectly, produces nervous indisabil—
ity, indigestion, insomnia, -heart diseaeee
diabetes, paralysis, insanity. Worry is the
cardinal sin of the day. Worry is sin; and
the wages of sin is death.
