Dun. The word "dun" is derived by some
from the French verb donner, meaning give :
by others from the old Saxon word dunon, to
''clamor," but both of those derivations are
wrong. The word owes its origin to a famous
English bailiff, named Joe Dunn, in the time
of King Henry VIII. who Piled his hard trade
of collecting doubtful debts with remarkable
success When every other resort had failed,
creditors would threaten to pus Dunn on their
debtors, and hencethe phrase of dunning which
is common nOw-a-days

The REASON WHY.-The non-appearance of
the comet, which has been looked for with ca
ger eyes, is satisfactorily accounted for in the
Memphis Ledger, as all who read will admit
When the meofogstic temperature of the
horizon is such as to calorcise the impurient in-
dentation of the hemisphere analogy, the CO.
hesion of the borax curbistus becomes surchar-
ged with infnitesmals, which are thereby vir-
tually deprived of their vissural disquisitions.
This effected, very rapid change is produced
In the thsoamoumpter of the gympastiantus
paerium, which causes concavular in the hex
agonal antipathies Of the terestrium aquarver-
sula.-ClOuds then become mass of deodomi-
sed specue ceremocular light, which can only
be seen when it is visible.

What Every Young Man Should Do.

l. Every young man should make the most
of himself, intellectually, morally, socially and
physically.
9 He should depend upon his own efforts to
accomplish these results.
g. He should be willing to take advice from
those competent to give it, and to follow such
advice, until his own judgment or convictions,
properly founded, should otherwise direct.
4 Ifshe is fortunate enough to have rich
and indnIgent father, he must do the best he
Can under the circumstances, which will be to
conduct himself very much as though he had
not these obstacles to overcome.
s. He should remember that young men, if
they live, grow old, and that the habits of
youth are ofener than otherwise perpetuated
in the mature man. Knowing this fact, he
should govern himself accordingly"
6. He should never be discouraged by small
beginnings, but remember that nearly all great
results ha' been wrought out from apparently
Sigh causes.
7. He should never, under any circumstances,
be idle. If he cannot find the employment he
prefers, let him come near his desires as pos
sible-he will thus reach the object Of bis am
bition.
g. All young men have 'inalienabe rights, "
among which none Is greater and more sacred
tlan the privilege to be somebody.
Cespedes, the leader of the Cuban revolution,
is thus described by an American gentleman
who has returned from the island:
He is man about 46 years of age is a
middling stout gentleman, OF agreeable temner,
and is quite mild hammered. His complexion
Is fair, though of dark brown hair and eyes.
There is no pretense about him. He is no talk
er, yet when he speaks it is to the purpose. He
reads English well and speaks it, though not
fuently. At first view one would take him for
a plain, quiet, unpretending gentleman but on
acquaintance he discovers sagacity, and pro-
found knowledge of men and of the world 1t
may be said that he is man of feminently prac-
ical ideas He is unmoved at reyerses, and
has nigh, undoubting confidence in the success
OF the revelation There is no gentleman more
amiable than he, or one more beloved by every
body Cespedes Is a large property owner
was at the opening of the war the first lawyer
at the Bayamo bar, and has been eminently
successful in all his efforts and undertakings =
He can endure much, for his physique is well
adapted to labor, either mental or physical
Perhaps he would weigh $50 pounds

BUSINESS Hints. The iate numher of the
Engineer. now before Us. contains eg hteen pages
Of advertisements This leads US to remark
that the English are without doubt the most
systematic advertising people in the world, as
the columns of all their leading journals bear
evidence. The Times, Daily Telegraph, and
others Oft the great London journals enjoy an
advertising patronage which would surprise
many go-ahead Americans There is much
meaning in the fact, for it is beyond belief that
the practice of advertising, day after day. and
week after week, would not be continued by
shrewd business men unless it brought a good
returo.
We have heard it said that business men in
England expected 10 spend every year in ad-
vertising as much as he paid out in store Or shop
rent This is true to some extent in this coun-
try-indeed We have hundreds of business men
IN this city who owe their greatest success to d
jndicious system of advertising A. T. Stewart,
for example, has always been an extensive ad-
vertser, aud old Stephen Girard declared that
he not only advertised when business Was good,
but he also pursued the same system in dull
times as the surest way to make things lively.

when Gales Il Seaton retired from the In

times themselves had changed. The world of
1919 as different from that OF 1929 or 1899, as If
il had been born again. We do not say that the
