A Confusion of Names. Although Scotia is now known to mean Scotland, It once was the namo of Ireland. Two centuries before the birth of Christ Ireland was known to the Greeks as Juvenca. Caesar called It Hlbernia, as did also Ptolemy In his map of that island. It Is said tho Phoenicians first gave Ireland the name of Ilibernia, meaning thereby "utmost or last habitation," for beyond that land westward the Phoenicians never extended their voyages. Toward the decline of the Roman empire the country began to be called Scotia, a name retained by the monastic writers until the eleventh century, when the name Scotia, having passed to modern Scotland, the ancient name of Ilibernia began to be again used. To Cure Snorlngf. "At a banquet," said an editor, "I once heard Jerome K. Jerome make a speech on snoring. I remember that it ended with these words: 'To cure snoring. It Is advised that a piece of soap be dropped into the mouth of the snorer. The oil in the soap will lubricate the pharynx and other Latin parts of the throat. This remedy must be applied with caution; otherwise the snorer will arise and lubricate the floor with the pert-on who dropped In the soap.' " "Worship a Dtnx. When Dean Swift was called to the living of Loracor he Inaugurated the custom of reading prayers on Wednesday and Friday. At the first Wednesday service he waited in vain for any one to appear except his clerk Roger. At length h began, "Dearly beloved Roger, the Scriptures moveth you and me in sundry places," and so proceed ed to the end of the service. Harper's Weekly. Pepper.
