EXTINCT FAM1LIEs-Robert Stephenson
leaves no family behind him. His wife died
many years ago, and be remained a widower,
SO that the direct line from George Stephen
son, the eminent English engineer, has died
out. James Watt, the noted English inventor,
left no descendants. 1t appears that the men
noted for mechanical genius, like many of those
famous in literature, science and government,
leave no children to perpetuate their names.
Shakespeare, Milton. Bacon, Newton, Harvey,
Pope, Mansfield, Goldsmith. Congreve, Hume,
Bishop, Butler, Locke, Hobbs, Adam Smith,
Bentham, Davy, Sir Joshua Reynolds, Sir
Thomas Lawrence, Byron, Lord Clyde, and
others well known to fame in British annals,
have no lineal representatives now living.

place, two or three weeks ago, between a
freighter to Cedar creek in this county and
ranchmen of lower Missoula valley. Freight
er, repeatedly and with the full strength of his
lungs" Halloa! get up! get up!" The ranch
man at last gets his eyes wide open, crawls out
of bed and lights candle, goes to the door
and demands, "What's wanting, stranger?"
Freighter-"I want to pay my TOLL" Ranch
man, highly exasperated-" You cussed fool,
you, this isn't a dollhouse" Freighter-" 1t

A RUSSIAN CHRISTENING.

When the rite is performed at home, the
house has to be turned out, as it were, into
chapel for the noEce; no difficult thing, as par
lor, kitchen, hall, saloon, are decorated with
the Son, the Mother, and with the patron
saint, A room is set apart for the office;
rug IS spread before the sacred pictures; and
on table are laid three candles, a fine napkin
and glass of water from the we'll. A silver
| gilt basin is sent from the village church. At
| tended by his reader and his deacon each car
| rying bundle, the village Pope walks to the
house, bearing cross and singing psalm,
while the censor is swung before him in the
street. fr
The rite then given is long and solemn, the
ceremony consisting of many parts. First
comes the act of driving out the fends; when
the Pope, not yet in his perfect robes, takes up
the baby, breathes on bis face, crosses him
three times-on temple, breast, and lips and
exercises the devil and all his imps; ending
with the words, May every evil and unclean
spirit that has taken up his abode in this in
fant's heart depart from hence!" Then comes
the act of renouncing the Evil One and all his
works, in the baby's name. "Dost thou re-
nounce the devil2" asks the pope; On which
the sponsors turn, with the child, toward the
setting sun, that land Of shadows in which the
Prince of Darkness is supposed to dwell and
answer each, I" have renounced him." "Spit
on him J" cries the pope, who Jets his own saliva
into corner, as though the devil was present
in the room.
The sponsors spit in turn. Here follows the
confession of faith; the sponsors being asked
whether they believe that Christ is King and
God; and, on answering that they believe in
him as King and God, are told to fall down
and worship Him as SUCH Next comes the
rite OF baptism, when the pope puts On his
brightest robe, the parents are sent away, and
the child is left to his godfathers and godmoth-
ers. A taper is put into each sponsors hand;
the candles near the font are lighted, incense
is flung about; the reader and deacon sing;
and the pope inaudibly recites prayer. The
water is blest by the pope dipping his right
hand into it three times by breathing on it,
praying over it. and signing it with the cross.
He uses for that purpose feather which has
been dipped into holy oil. The child is anoint-
ed five times, first on the forehead, with this
phrase:-" Constantine, the servant of God, is
anOinted with the oil of gladness;' - next ON
the chest, to heal his soul and body; then on
the two ears to quicken the sense of the Word;
on his hands and feet, to do Gods
will and walk in His way. Seized by the pope,
the child is now plunged into the font
three times by rapid dips, the priest repeat
ing at each dip, "Constentne, the servant of
God, is now baptised in the name of the Faith
er, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
If the young Christian is not drowned in the
font Gas sometimes happens), he is clad in
white, he receives his name. his guardian an
gel, and his cross.-New Russia.

A CAPE MAY RoMANCE-Down at Cape
May there was a rather cloud" woman rich
and vulgar, swooping around with her daugh.
ter and putting on more airs than you could
grind out of hand organ! One man, who
was disgusted at the arstocratic pretensions
of the couple, thought he would have little
fun at their expense So one day he pointed
out good looking young fellow who was pass
| ing the hotel, and mentioned to the women, in
a sort of careless, Off-hand way, that the good
looking fellow was lord, who had just arrived
in the country, and was stopping for while at
Cape May. This woman, you understand,
wanted an introduction so that she could set
her daughter at work to rope in this scion of
noble house. The stranger was presented the
next evening in the parlor and this designing
being of a mamma began to gush right over
him. She kept on exclaiming how much she
had always admired the English nobility, and
how much she longed to see them in their own
beautiful homes; and then she asked this man
if he did not sometimes long for his island
home, and hate the society of the vulgar Amer
leans, and sigh for his high-born companions
At last the man turned around and said she
must have made a mistake; he didn't care a
red cent for arlstocracy; he had no island
home, for he came from Germany; and he had
no high-born companions, unless some of his
friends were born in garret. So this woman
rose right up and pranced out to the fellow
who introduced her to the aristocrat, and she
says:
"See here! thought you said that man was
a lord?"
$50 he is," was the reply; "he is the land
lord of the Dutch hotel round the corner there
Nice man, isn't he?" a haiH
Perhaps that woman won't souse that man
under, and hold him there, the next time she
catches him bathing in the surf! It wouldn't
surprise us to learn at any time that he had
been jammed full of red-hot hair-pins by a
savage female, who crowned her work by ex-
ecuting a Kickapoo war dance on his inani-
mate remains. *esta aa
