one of the noble names of England. as
sociatcd also with tragedy not noble

quences. In Germany we have the
Schmidts; in Italy we have the Fabri.
Fabricia. or Fabbroni: in France. the
lie Febres or Lefevrcs. Although most
of the European languages adhere moro
closely to the old northern name: even
in Latin we have volumes in our library
by Johannes Smithus. and we have seen
in Italy Giovanni Smith. The Span
iard's version of John Smith is Juan
Smithus; the Dutchman adopts il rs
Hans Schmidt; the French soften il
into Jean Smeets; the Russian roughcns
it into Jouloff Smittowski. John Smith
goes into the tea trade with China. and
then he becomes Jahon Shimmit.
Among the lcelanders he is Jaime

are told they talk of Jihom Schmidt /;
in Mexico he is written down as Joutli

Turkey he is almost lost sight of as Voc
Seef. Phiiology also assures us that
those ancient names of the kings OF
Syria, Hadad and Benhadad, are the
equivalents of our Smith and Smithson,
just as the terms pontifi or pontifex
point back to the time when the chief
man was he who built bridges or con-

Queer Discipline.

1t is with reason that the Turkish
officers are often reproached with not
being at the head of their ranks, ETC.,
for one often meets officers who can
neither read nor write. This would be
q very serious inconvenience in any
other army; in Turkey these defects
are less thought of, for very wide lat

and here the warrior initiates the hunt
ing dog This initiative is specially re-
markable in the outpost service, where
there are only small squads. Thus
saw at Rakovitza post of some ninety
men commanded by two sergeants who
absolutely did nothing; each went his
own way, taking advice. of none save
the sun, which told them the time of
day. That which. strikes the stranger
most is the absence of respect which
soldiers show and the cool and pleasant
manner in which they salute their su-
periors. The soldier borrows his tobac-
co from the officer, and the officer will
take from the soldier without the slight
est scruple. If by chance soldier
meets drunken officer in the street,
which sometimes happens, he leads him
to his quarters, managing the matter so
adroitly that no one. knows anything
about it. When campaigning, officers
and men live the same life. At Rado-
vita the military governor lives side by
side with his orderlies, smokes The same
tobacco, dimes from the same cuisine
with this difference, however, that the
officer eats with fork, while the men
dip their fingers into every dish. If by
chance the morsel of mutton he brings
up is not sufficiently appetizing he puts
1t back again into the dish.-[New York

A Tramp,s Wonderful Vitality.

An accident, attended with the most
extraordinary circumstances, occurred
on the Northern Central railway, near
Troy, Pa, few nights ago. A tramp
named James NJ. Bowers was walking
on the track toward that place. Being
tired and hungry, he sat down by the
railroad and fell asleep. When he
awoke he attempted to get up, but, as
he said when discovered, found that he
could not use his legs. lie had thrown
them across the rail in his sleep, and a
train had run over them. One was
nearly severed below the knee and the
the other was broken. No train was in
sight, nor had he heard the noise of a
train passing. He took his knife from
his pocket and cut the skin and flesh
that stiliheld his one leg, severing il
entirely. lie says he lay there unable
to move, wholly conscious and suffering
the most intense agony, for at least an
hour. Finally he heard a train APP
preaching. He had match in his pock-
ct and newspaper. He lighted the pa
per when the train came In sight, and
signaled by waving it, The engineer
saw the light, and stopped the train.
Bowers was taken on board and carried
to Troy. He never lost consciousness,
and, when doctor was summoned,
who pronounced another amputation OF
the severed leg necessary, Bowers re-
fused TO take any anasthetic, and coolly
subjected himself to that operation and
to the setting of the bones In his broker
leg. He was removed TO the county
house, and it is thought he will recov'
