SOME IRISH COGNOMENS.
Meanings Attached to th« Moat Com-i
mon of tho Surname*.
The fact la not generally known that
Ireland was the tlrst country In mod
ern Europe to enforce the adoption of
surnames by law. The act prescribing
their general use was passed more than
a hundred years before the Anglo-Nor
man invasion, whereas surnames did
not come in to,'general use In England
until the days/Of Queen Elizabeth nor
In Wales till late In the seventeenth
century.
There are some Interesting meanings
attaching to the most' common of Irish
names, suj® the London Tit-Bits. Here
are a lew with the curious changes of
spelling that have coin e< about since the
names tlrst origiuuted:
Murphy came from ©'Murphy, Mor
phey and Morphew, meaning "super!
or;" Kelly came from O'Kelly. Klely,
Keeley, meaning "for war;" O'Connor
came from Connors, Conerty, meaning
"helper," and Dougherty from O'Do
herty, Doherty, Dufughuday, meaning
"destroyer." It Is noticeable that all
Irish names at the tlrst stage In their
history had "O*" before them, the first
change consisting of dropping that
"OV It will not be necessary there
fore to repeat the name with the "O'"
before It
Sullivan was originally Billifant and
Sulllvant, meaning "quick sighted;"
O'Donnell and McDonnell and all com
binations of that name were Donald,
Daniel, Dona, meaning "dark chief;"
Moloney was O'Mullowney, Meloney,
Mullany, meaning "thoughtful;" Me
Cormack was O'Cormack; McCormac.
McCormlck, meaning "son of the
crown;" Flynn was Flann, meunlng
"red;" Flannlgan was Flnnlgen, mean
ing "druid;" Boyle was Boylan, Bo
land, Bolan, Boylln, meaning "benign;"
O'Brlan was Bryan, Bryant, Brines,
Bryon, meaning "author;" Brady was
McBrady, meaning "ship captain," and
Macauley was O'Cawlew, McGawly,
McAuly. McAullff, Cawley, meaning
"echo," or literally "son of the rock."
GRADING DIAMONDS.
Qualities In Stones of the First, Second
and Third Water.
"A diamond of the first water should
be eutirely colorless and transparent,
without any Inclusion or flaw." says
the Scientific American. "It is of the
second water If it Is colorless with
small but unimportant faults or If It is
without faults, but with some traces of
color, and third water if It la colorless,
but with larger faults or if it is dls
tlnctly colored. The correct valuation
Is therefore very difficult and often
subject to tlie Jeweler's JudRmenL For
this reason Professor Roslwal gives to
the layman the following hints:
"The requisite in stones of tlie first
water Is perfect lack of color or, what
is more highly priced, a tinge of blue
In general, beautifully colored dia
monds command fabulous prices and
are to be found only in the treasure
vaults of princes.
"Stones of the second water are nn
rneruus. They are supposed to be ml
croscoplcally pure, but almost always
show some inclusions. There are often
times traces of yellow color in this
grade, and because this can be seen
best In sunlight oue should never buy
diamonds at night, for tlie prevailing
lights cause stones that are even no
ticcably yellowish to appear clear.
'Most of the stones of the ordinary
market are of the third quality, and
the dealers try to cover up their faults
by combining them Into groups for bor
der stones or for the popular pendants,
diamond hearts, marquise rings, etc
While they may be colorless, they are
often so full of daws that they would
be ranked as °bort,' or diamonds good
only for mechanical purposes, if there
hud not been such a demand for the
gems as to increase the price."
A Cause of Drowning.
In swimming under a blazing sun the
txdy is submerged at a low tempera
ture, while the full force of the sun
tx ats on the unprotected head. To add
to the obvious dangers of such a state
of things the blood Is forced Into the
head by the pumping action of the
limbs in swimming, thus causlug the
ai teries in other parts of the body to be
overfilled. The consequence is often a
violent headache, which may be Col
lowed by Insensibility. The swimmer
sinks and unless help Is at hand adds
another to the long list of the mysteri
ously drowned.
But Ha Came Back.
A Kansas City woman gave her bus
bund 5125 to go away and stay Four
days later the money was all gone and.
naturally, the husband earae back. If
sho had taken the wiser plan and had
arranged with a trustee to pay It to
bim In installments of $1 a day the
wife wouldn't have been bothered for
125 days. There's nothing like the In
i st.'illment plan when It comes to house
bold finances.—Kansas City Star

How to Hold the Cook.
