Still Another Name.
Life would be simplified in some of its aspects if the same thing were always called by the same name. Such is not the case, however, and perhaps it is better so. If there were no mysteries and surprises, the world would be less intesesting. Col. Philip Lee was passing through South Carolina thirty odd years ago—it was in war-time —tvhen he accosted an old negro with the question: “I say, uncle., are there any Ilugenots about here?” The colored man looked surprised, and answered the question by another: i “Well, I declare, where be you-una . from?” “From ’way up in old Kentucky,” said Col. Lee. “Well, I thought so. Why, in Tennessee they call 'em peanuts, in Geor- • gia they call ’em goobers, in Alabama they is penders, here in South Carolina we call ’em groun peas, and now you fellows ’way off dere in Kentucky coll ’em hugonuts. Well, Ido declare!" I —Youth’s Companion.
