The popular hansom derives its distin¬ guishing rite from a ce.tain Mr. ilan som. The brougham, which was first used by .the famous L>rd Brougham, took its title from that nobleman. Landau, a city in Germany, was the locality in which was first made the style of vehicle biariug that name. termed hackney Hacks originally were drawn by coaches, because they applied were easy-going, hackney—a name to safe pacing horses. William IV., who, prior to becoming king of England, had been the Duke of Ctorence, gave the latter name to his fa¬ vorite mode of conveyance. The old fashioned gig was given that name from its peculiar jumping and rocking motion, the word bei“g taken from the French gigue, signifying a jig, or a lively dance. The term coach is derived from the French coche, a diminutive form of the Latin couchula, a shell, in which form the body of such conveyances was origi¬ nally fashioned. Coupe is French in origin, being de¬ rived from the verb couper (coopay), appropri¬ to cut. This was considered an ate designation because it greatly resem¬ off. bled a coack with the front part cut The particular form of carriage known as the tilbury—at one time very fash¬ ionable, but now seldom seen—was so called from a sporting gentleman of Lon¬ don who rejoiced in the cognomen of Tilbury. full omni¬ Seldom, if ever, is the term bus applied to those lumbering vehicles. With the characteristic brevity of Eng¬ lish speaking races the title has been changed to bus. These were first seen in Paris in 1827, the original name being nothing more than the Latin word signi¬ fying “for all. applied wheeled The word sulky, as to a conveyance, had its origin in the fact that when it first appeared the person but who saw it considered that none a sulky, selfish man would ride in such an affair, which afforded accommodation to but one individal. The strange title was never changed. abreviation of the Italian Cab is an capriola, which is changed to cabriolet (cabriolay) in French. Both words have a common derivative—cabriole—signify¬ ing a goat’s leap. The exact reason for giving it this strange appellation is un known, unless because of the lightness its and springiness of the vehicle in original form.—Detroit Free Press. Nature’s Nervine. Dandelion is the coming nervine for women. More than one experienced physician tells of its use in cases of nerv¬ ous depression and melancholy almost suicidal. Hysteria with indigestion is most successfully treated by dandelion aloDe, using a strong decoction of the roots. For school girls growing green and b'ack with overstudy or bad circula¬ tion from any cause, for excitable women and those hysteric subjects who make their friends’ lives a burden if not their own, the simplest remedy is a cup of strong dandelion coffee three times a day. But it must be strong and from the roots, fresh as possible, not the dried stuff sold as dandelion, which is half bread crumbs and other half any age with the life roasted out. No officinal preparation and compares with the decoction of herbs roots fresh from the garden or well kept at first hand. Every Farmers own Roofer CHEAPER than Shingles, Tin or Slate.

A Bundle of Facts. An English astronomer states that the oldest historical record of a solar eclipse is in Homer’s Iliad (xvii. 367.)

In the photograph of the heavens, in course of preparation in the Paris observ¬ atory, it is calculated that 64,000,000 of stars will be represented. In the nebulae of the Lyre, M. Bailland took a photo¬ graph, 4 by inches, which revealed to the naked eye 4,800 stars. The sun gives 600,000 times as much light as the full moon; seven billion times as much as the brightest star in the sky, and thirty-six million times as much as all the stars in the heavens combined; in size the sun equals 1,300,000 earths, but owing to its smaller density its weight equals only 500,000 earths.
