Salt and the Roman*.
Spilling of salt is a superstition still
current among us. It is derived from
the ancient Romans, who used salt in
their sacrifices and regarded it as sa
cred to the penates. To spill it careless
ly was to incur the displeasure of these
household divinities After accidental
ly spilling salt the ancient Roman was
wont to throw some over the left shoul
der—the shoulder of ill omen—thereby
hoping to call away from his neighbor
the wrath of the Deity and turn It
upon himself.

CHANCE HUMOR AND SATIRE.

Great Boston on the Pacifio Coast.
I Tbe thriving cities, the picturesque
streams and the rugged mountains of
the United States have in numerous in
stances received their names for rea
sons calculated to give a shock to the
national board of geographic names.
The most grotesque accidents and
coincidences, the results of games or
wagers, the grim efforts of the pioneer
mind to be satirical at the expense of
his new home, all have operated to de
termine the name by which proud mu
nicipalities or imposing physical fea
tures api>enr upon the map.
In a genera! study of the origin and
significance of place names of this J
country made by the United States
geological survey the following oddly
given names have been picked out:
The naming of the populous city, of
Portland, Ore., was decided by the
tossing of a copper coin by two set
tiers, one from Portland. Me., the oth
er from Boston. The Maine man won.
else we should have had another great
Boston on the Pacific.
The city of Tombstone, Arts., was
named as a bit of grim humor. Its
finder had been advised when starting
on his prospecting tour that he would
"find hU tombstone." In order that
tbe prophecy might be fulfilled he gave
tbe name to the city he established.
The city of Bangor. Me., bears the
name of an old psalm tune which our
forefathers saug to the tremor of a
tuning fork. The name was given by
tbe Kev. Setb Noble, who represented
the district in the .Maine legislature.
Wheeling, the metropolis of West Vir
ginia, owes Its name to the circum
stance of the Indians having displayed
the head of a white man on a pole at
this point. The name is ffbin the In
dian weal Ink. meaning "place of a hu
man head "
One of the most distinctive names on
the map of Colorado Is Ouray. It has
been applied to a city, a county and
an imposing mountain Yet tbe name
means nothing more nor less than Wil
lie and is the result of the Ute Indians'
attempt to translate this synonym of
Hamld and Percy Into their own
tongue.

to have been so ntimed because when
purchased from the Indians the north
ern boundary of the land was to ex
tend nortlnvard frc«n the sea one day's
walk, according to the Indian mark
ing of the distance.
A town In Georgia rejoices In the
strikingly original but somewhat am
biguous designation of Nameless. The
name was given from the fact that in
a list of several hundred names sub
mitted to the postofflce authorities not
one was found satisfactory.
A town In Gunnison county, Colo.,
possesses the eloquent name of Tin
Cup, given because In Its early days,
when a mining camp, gold was so
plentiful that It was measured In a
tin cup.
The Calico mountain range In Cali
fornia was given Its name from the
variegated color of Its rocks.
The city of Jacksonville, lilt waa
named for a prominent colored preach
er and is perhaps the largest communl
ty In the country named for a negro.
The city of Spartanburg. S. C., was
so called from the rigorous. Spartan
like self discipline practiced by the In
habitants during the Revolutionary
war.
A stream In Ravalli county, Mont,
Is known as Weeping Child from the
circumstance of an Indian child being
carried off by a mountain lion, causing
insanity in the mother.
Antelope county, in Nebraska, was so
named In commemoration of the kill
Ing and eating of an antelope during
the pursuit of some Indiana by the
pioneers.
The town of Deerfleld, N. H., wr.s so
named because, when the petition for
the establishment of the town was
pending, a Mr. Batchelder killed a deer
and upon presenting It to Governor
Wentworth obtained the act of estab
lishment and the town name.
Hell Gate, the narrow pass In the
East river at New York, was called by
the Dutch hellegut, meaning "bright
strait" or "clear opening." The uame
quickly suggested the present English
form, which was regarded as more ap
propriate on account of the whirlpools
which made navigation dangerous.—
