They Used to Bo Illegal According to
Old Englieh Law.
Middle names, hard as it is to
credit in this generation, were once
illegal. The old English law was
very definite as to the naming of
children and, according to Coke,

“ It is requisite,” this

“ that the purchaser be

Royal personages have always
been allowed to have more than one
given name, but as late aa 1600, it
is said, there were only four persons
in all England who had two given
names. In 1620 the Mayflower tail­

a man or woman upon it who had

double names were very uncommon.
The English used to dodge the law
at times by ingeniously compound­

POW ER O F HYPNOTISM .
A young woman who has a treach­
erous memory for names had a
droll experience not long ago. She
had encountered in a railway sta­
tion a face that seemed familiar to
her. She remembered that she had
met the young man at the house of
a friend some weeks before, but for
the life of her she could not at all
recollect his name. Finally, howev­
er, when the young man stopped to
shake hands she asked:
“ Surely this is Mr. Tombstone,
whom I met at Mrs. Walker’s.”
The stranger smiled. “ You’re
