Common, ordinary, every-rtay table mustard obtained Its name In a remark ably curious way. It is said that Philip, Duke of Burgundy, granted to Dijon t-ouie armorial bearings on which was the motto, "Moult me lariic" This was later carved in a stone arch way of the city, but as the years went by the central word became effaced. A certain firm In the city was engaged in the manufacture of sinapi, wlik'h was the former name for mustard, and, wishing to label its product with the city arms, copied the Incomplete motto. Thus, ignorant people seeing the name "moult tanlc" on the Jars, fell into the custom of calling the contents by that title. In time "moult-tarde' was contracted to tnoularde (mustard) I II I I I I I ' I I II ii i ii i ii ii ii n t,. -' is In most houses there is a room without proper heating facilities to say nothing of chilly hallways.

The story that Martin Coe tells the village literary society in "The Story of Martin Coe" Is drawn straight from real life. When Ralph Paine, the au thor of the book, wus reporting for one of the New York papers, some of the filibustering expeditions along the Cuban const In 1800, he and the party he accompanied had almost identically tho same experiences tliat Martin Coe retails to his wide-eyed audience. Mike Walsh, the original Martin Coe, was also one of the party. Poland Is not a favorable nursery for sailors, yet It was the birthplace of Joseph Conrad, a master both of ships and virile English. How he came to employ a foreign language In his lit erary work is thus related: Many years ago, when he could not read a word of English, a missionary at a Chinese port handed him a copy of the King James version of the Bible. Immodi ately he determined to learn the Eng lish language. With the Bible as his only textlKiok he began. It was slow work, as the only assistance he had was through occasional talks with Eng lish sailors, but ho kept at It until he had accomplished his self-set task, and there Is no doubt that the vigor and picturescjuenoss of his style are largely due to his hard-earned familiarity with j the language of the English translators j of the Scripture. Miss Braddon, one of the best known jof the English novelists, who hits nev-1 erthek'ss always kept her private llfji iiKhlen from the world, has recent. y levlebraled her (ilith birthday. We all I know nowadays that she is Mrs. John .Maxwell, that she dwells at Hichniond, I In Lichfield House of historic renown, land that one of her sons, W. B. Max well, Is a novelist of distinction. Miss Braddon has lately consented to talk about herself fur publication. Her first commission, when she was a mere girl, was to write a long story "combining :he humor of Dickens with the plot con struction of (J. W. M. Reynolds." The lunik was called "Three Times Dead," and she received for It about $12.o0. She gained foi;tu:io ami fame at a bound, however, w hen "Lady Audley's Secret" was published in book form. General Maxwell Is the framer of nn interesting theory respecting George Idiot 's choice of her psudoiiyme : "Many ye.trs ago some time in the 4o's a young oliicer of the Bengal I avalry i very tine young man, I believe call ed (jeorge i onnitiiorue l'.imt, was acci- entaliy drowned in the lake of Nvnee Tal. in the lower Himalavas. Now, it will be admitted that Douulthorue is very uncommon name: yet we have Arthur Donnith irue In "Adam Bedo," and we have the rest of that young man s name, (ieorge Eliot, as the nov elist's psetidonyiiie. I think there is something In this. It Is too remarka- !c a coincidence to be due to mere hance. Who knows but that the Jeorg- Donnithonie Eliot, of Nynee I'.tl, was tin early friend, tlame or ideal of .Marian Evans, and hence her adoption of the name George Eliot?" AILRSEfJTS mm?

There was a peculiar sound from the drection of the woods as the member of the Birdlovers' Society sat in the window of her friend's country home one summer afternoon. She quickly took her small "Bird Guide" from her ever-present bag, arid rapidly turned the leaves. At last Jhe paused with a smile of satisfaction, and listened, with her finger between two leaves of the little book, till the sound came again. When It was repeated an expression of doubt flitted across her features, but stlil she was hopeful. "You probably know many of the bird notes, living so near the woods and In such a quiet spot," she said to her friend. "Can you tell me what bird that Is?" "That," Paid her friend, briefly, "Is our goat. We fchall have to move him farther off." It Q me o 'gg.7.'.g33W1 i ISerompenie. "They say that suburban life Is not so had." "No; I suppose not.
