MIDDLE NAMES.
Thy im4 to B. Ilfeg.l According to
Old Englith Law.
Middle names, hard as it U to
irodit in this generation, were once
illegal. The old English lav was
rcrr definite as to the naming of
children and, according to Coke,
"a man cannot hare two names of
baptism." "It is requisite," thia
law goes on, "that the purchaser be
named bj the name of hia baptism
and his surname, and that special
heed be taken to the name of bap
tism." Royal personages hare always
been allowed to hate more than one
given name, but as late as 1600, it
is said, there were only four persons
in all England who had two given
names. In 1630 the Mayflower sail
ed for America, and there was not
a man or woman upon it who had
a middle name.
Ereu a century and a half ago
double names were very uncommon.
The English used to dodge the law
at times by ingeniously compound
ing names. Thus on old parish reg
isters in England there is occasion
ally seen such combinations as Fan
nasabilia, which is Fanny and Sibyl
joined together, and Annameriar,
made up of Anna and Maria, Maris
is one of the earliest middle names
of record for boys. It was given in
honor of the Virgin Mary. As much
as they dared, beginning along in
the eighteenth century, parents
evaded the "one name law."
But even as late as 100 years ago
custom was against the middle
name. If the names of the signers
of the Declaration of Independence
be looked over it will be found that
only three of them had middle
names. The first five presidents of
the United States had only one
name each George Washington,
John Adams, Thomas Jefferson,
James Madison and James Monroe.
Before Grant, eighteenth of the
line, there were only three double
named executives John Quincy
Adams, William Henry Harrison
and James Knox Polk.
When middle names got going
and became the fashion, the law
having dropped into disuse, parents
went to work combining names for
their offspring enthusiastically. One
custom was done away with in Eng
land in consequence of this, the
plan of naming the eldest son for
the estate, particularly when he suc
ceeds to that estate through hia
mother. Thia old idea is still fol
lowed to some extent in this coun
try by the mother's maiden name
being given to the eldest son. It
identifies the boy when he grows to
manhood and so has a positive val
ue. Harper's.
Fore of Habit.
In the furniture department of a
big store chiffoniers with a patent
drawer that could be opened with
out pulling it out were on exhibi
tion. All day long the clerk packed
and unpacked the drawers of that
chiffonier, showing how easy it was
to stow away gloves, veils, blouses
and men's shirts and collars. Dur
ing one of the demonstrations the
manager of the department stopped
to watch him.
"Why don't you distribute things
a little more evenly?" he asked.
"Why do you devote the four top
drawers to women's apparel ana
chuck everything belonging to men
in the bottom drawer?"
"I guess," said the clerk, "I did
it from force of habit. You see, I
have been married for fifteen years,
and I forgot there was any place
except the bottom drawer for a man
to put his clothes." New York

Firot Typo Printed Book.
The first book printed with type,
according to Pettigrew, was the
Latin Bible published by John Gu
tenberg at Layence, about 1455, but
Haydn is inclined to assign a some
what dater date to this, making the
book of Psalms, by Faust and
Bchoeffer, printed on Aug. 14, 1457,
the first book.
The Gutenberg book is called the
Mazarin Bible, having first been
found in the library of Cardinal
Mazarin.
There ae only twenty copies of
this first edition known to exist, and
the workmanship in type, ink and
paper far exceeds that of any of the
subsequent editions for 200 Tears.
-Exchange.
Talo of a Bird.
A little four-year-old boy living
fn a country town disturbed and
took some eggs from under a sitting
hen belonging to a neighbor. The
neighbor complained to the boy's
mother, who later called her boy
to her and began to reprove him
when he broke in with the question,
"Who told you?"
The mother said: "A little bird
told me. Now, tell me, how many
eggs did yon take?"
The little boy, stammering, said:
"Well, welll Why didn't the bird
tell tou the whole of it P Stray
