That Is What Happened to Three of Vermont's Towns. It la not often that a town 1b named by mistake, but about 150 years ago this thing happened not to one town, but to three towns in Vermont At that time a grant of land was made by Mew Hampshire to some Connecticut settlers. This tract then, as now, was divided into three townships Burling ton, on the hillside of Lake Cham plain; Colchester; !Just north, and Wll llston, east. . The three towns were chartered on the same day, and ft was at this time that the names were mixed. The Burling family took up their land in the north section (Colchester), and It seems to bo true that their name was to have been given tbe town, so that it should have been called Bur lington. Other settlers took up the (astern portion (Wllllston), and the rest remained In the part by the lake (Burlington). Among these last was tbe Willis family, and there Is evidence that they expected to call the city Wll llston. However, there was so much confusion in tbe entering of tbe rec ords that the town where tbe Burllngs settled was called Colchester, the town of the Willis family was named Bur lington, while the town to tbe east was called Wllllston. And so they have remained to this day. Ladles' Home Journal. I ORIGIN OF BLACKMAIL The Term Was Born of Outlawry on the Scottish Border. The etymology of the expression "blackmail" is historically Interesting. It appears to have its origin on tbe Scottish border and dating from times when frequent political feuds between the then two kingdoms of tbe British Islands tacitly Justified a sort of per ennial terrestrial buccaneering as be tween borderers of each realm. Many of these were outlaws on both sides of the border. Their neighbor ing victims to save their cattle from being lifted sometimes compounded for safety by an annual payment as Insur ance to tbe bandits. This fee not only gave them Immunity, but entailed them to protect them from rival free booters. It was their "mail," or "pro' tectlon." The "mall" coach was so named because It bad Its armed guard with loaded blunderbuss on the dickey. But tbe mall paid by border farmers was not for honest royal protection, but for guardianship by thieves, and hence was "black" mall, the color of black being typical of what was nefa rious, whether In art or In guardian nhlp, while the guardian of this stamp wns known as the "blackguard" of tbe district. The last named latter day term of reproach seems to have ob tiilncd Its expression originally as here described.-London Field. Marry and Part' For a Year. Among tho many peculiar customs prevalent among the peoplo of Central A mcrlea Is that of parting for one year utter the marriage ceremony has been Ktilemnlzod. This custom has prevailed ninong the Jarnos from time Immemo rial. Tbcro is no courtship allowed to lo carried on botween the parties prior to tbe wedding. When a man selects n woman he obtains the consent of the ln rents on both sides, and If this is Mlven tbey are at once married. The n-iiHon, however, for their not living together as man and wife for one year lifter marriage is In order to permit of the parties visiting and staying with llit'lr respective friends in different parts of the country,' which is a cus tomary thing and occupies tbe time specified. Ninety-nine out of a hun dred of these marriages turn out well.

As soon after tills as she feels Inclined she selects a husband nnd goes to live in a homo of her own. The home is provided by the man, but it becomes his wife's as soon as they are married. All women, young and old, are addicted to the use of tobacco. Tbe women seem to prefer the very large size black cigar. Often one meets a woman on tho streets of a village with one of these bugo cigars In her mouth and two or three more stuck In tbe holes ot each ear. ! The Cosmic Law.

Since 1500 the town of Stewarton, Scotland, has been noted for its manu facture of the "blue bonnet," famed Id song. In the Infancy of tbe trade Glasgow was its chief market, and was visited yearly at the great July fair by tbe bonnet makers with their year's manufacture of nightcaps and bonnets. A record of 1C50 shows that the Stew arton corporation was penalized by the GluHgow trades because of the In sufficiency of Its yearly product In 1720 the Stewarton corporation consisted of thirty-five members, who were bound by very stringent rules to keep np the price of bonnets, by periods of compulsory deslstance from trade. In one instance an offender was fined 20 for going to work at Kilmarnock. Tbe Stewarton bonnet makers held themselves and their goods superior to those of Kilmarnock, and a One of $250 was imposed for the offense of selling Kilmarnock bonnets as Stewarton ones. In 1750 a law was passed enforcing the use of Indigo only as the dyestuff. In the early days of the industry the bonnets were knitted in the open air, when the weather was favorable.
