Names.

Tho Boston Post paragrapher is moved
to remark that Mark Twain got more for
bis Gilded Age" than Shakespeare re.
ceived for all his plays. This is, per.
haps. why Mark answers one OF the ILL.,
paid Williams many conundrums. In
" Romeo and Juliet" Shakespeare in
qnires What's in a name?" and in
= The Gilded Age" Twain replies
There's millions in it," 1t might be
IN Interesting calculation for some i'm
aginative statistician to figure up how
much We pay for names in a year. Any
one who purchases piano or organ
knows that name costs great deal.
1t is the same way with everything.
Many articles cost high price, because
of the name OF the maker, although he
may have been dead for years, and the
characteristics for which his particular
article became famous, have been super
seeded by better qualities in other
articles Of the same kind. But as q
general thing name is very good
criterion on which to buy. If we get
watch, or knife, or piano, or buggy
from celebrated house, We are pretty
sure OF getting good article for our
money. Very few men would think of
buying book on science, history or
any other subject, without knowing the
name of the author. We would be
more apt to get q good work on as
tromony, for instance, if the name OF
Proctor or Watson or Swift were on the
title-page than if in that position stood
the name Of Smith or Brown, or Jones,
estimable as we know these gentlemen
to be in private life. 1t seems, there
fore, to bring things down to fine
point, that the name of the author ap.
pended even to short magazine article
is very desirable. Harper's Magazine
thinks differently, and it is consequent.
ly sort of "No Name" magazine. Mr..
Curtis defends this system in his Easy
Chair" for August by saying that it
gives old and new authors an equal
chance with the public. This would
be strong argument in favor of the
system, but it falls to the ground when
we know that in many papers the names
of the authors are published, in the
monthly advertisement of the magazine.
The names should be either kept secret
or given in the Magazine itself as the
present system merely gives the reader
extra trouble finding out who the
authors are.-DetrOu Free Press.

victory and multitude OF slain will be
remembered as long as history lives.
But there were deeds of valor per-
formed on those Egyptian sands that
deserved loftier monuments aud louder
praise than were sung over their naked
bones by the hyena and the csrrion
bird.
Among these obscure heroes was
Pierre Valore, whose name. although
unknown to fame, still found place
in the memory and gratitude OF the in
dispensable man he had saved.
Bonaparte never forgot Pierre Va
lore's last words spoken on that day,
and the sound of the mans death-cry
rang in his ears till he died.
On his return to Paris the emperor
chose the violet flower as his favorite
emblem. He never gave any reason
for its selection but long afterward it
was said by veteran OF the "Old
Guard" that the origin Of the emblem
could not be traced beyond the battle
of the Pyramids. He added, also. that
hardly any other subject would make
the masters CHEEKY voice tremble, or
make the pure, unclouded brow grave.

The Demand for Fruit.

The European demand for American
fruits increases with the supply and
proves to be very generally remunera-
tive. There is fruit enough raised in
the United States to supply both our
own country and Europe. The first
expectation of apples was made thirty
years ago, when the apples commanded
from Sc to IS barrel in Liverpool.
That city now receives 80, COO barrels of
American apples annually. The value
of fruits exported last year was 81, $751;
O25. The expectation of canned fruit
is rapidly increasing. The supply of
dried fruit has never been equal to the
demand. The extraordinary increase
in the production within the last few
years has been met by still greater con-
sumption. AS fruit is one of the staple
productions of Des Moines county and
is destined to be source of no incon-
siderable wealth to our state, the above
facts are not without interest. A quar-
ter of century ago small proportion
of the fruit now raised per capita was
sufficient to meet the public demand,
but since the introduction of improved
processes for drying and preserving
fruit, the consumption has greatly in
creased. There has also grown up q
great change in public sentiment in re-
gard to the healthfulness of fruit as an
article of regular diet. A few years ago
fruit was looked upon with great sus-
picion as something to be eaten charity,
especially in its season The sick we're
particularly cautioned to avoid fruit.
We remember Boston writer for one
of the old magazines who grew quite
facetious in rhyme over his favorite
tomato which his doctor had tabooed.
Now the physician is only too glad to
call in the tomato as an ally under
proper conditions and restrictions.
Fruit sometimes get an i'll name for
the same reason that poor old dog Tray
brought grief upon himself. Many
people do not discriminate between
good fruit and poor fruit. Green fruit
and over.ripe and decayed fruit are
alike to be stunned. Alripe, mellow
apple. peach or other juicy, slightly
acid fruit is healthy article of diet at
all seasons, and under ordinary condi-
tions need not be avoided in hot weather
more than any other season Of the year.
People who swallow glass after glass of
ice water and iced tea, but carefully
avoid eating good, ripe fruit, have a
wisdom unto themselves which the
world will hardly appreciate. Fruit is
destined to become more and more an
article of food, a,necessity of every we'll
set table, and the demand for it will
consequently increase and more than
keep pace with the growth of popula-
ton. Fruit culture will continue to
be as it is now, safe and profitable
business.-Hapk-Eye.

A Reporters Clever Ruse.

At the opening of the electioneering
campaign that resulted in Abraham
Lincoln's elevation to the presidency of
the United States. the Hon. w. L.
Yancey, then on his way to the Balti-
more convention, accepted an invitation
to address the electors at an agricul-
tural fair in small town. The Balti-
more newspapers determined to furnish
their readers with verbatim reports of
Mr.. Yancey's speech, and five reporters
left that city together by the morning
train for junction station where they
hoped to catch another train bound for
the fair ground. Ashley travelled along
they entered into an agreement not to
take any unfair advantage of one another
no matter what opportunity for doing
so might present itself. They arrived
at the junction too late for the connect
ing train, and were in difficulty as to
getting over the Interchangeable dozen
miles of country. They went pros
pecting, four thin scribes hurrying in
advance of veritable Falstaff. At last
they espied an old-fashioned wagon
drawn by lean horse, and in q very
few minutes the treacherous four were
ensconced in the vehicle, filling it COM
pletely. In vain did the man of fat re-
mind them of the agreement; his ex-
postulations were received with derision,
and the driver ordered to start. The
cheated reporter appealed to the coun-
tryman, offering to give five dollars for
q seat on the dashboard. The offer was
accepted, and the man slipped down to
help him up.
"Stop!" whispered he; "I'll buy
your horse for twenty-five dollars, cash
down."
"Done!" said the man; and the dol
lars were handed over.
Now" said the new owner of the
horse, take him out of.the. traces, and
help me on his back"
1t was done; and horse and rider were
soon lost to view. Next day, only one
Baltimore paper contained full report
of the speechifying at the fair; and four
belated journalists had bad time of it
with their respective editors.

LIES Mystery.

Lies sadly solemn mystery
Hangs DER me like weight;
The glorious longing to be free,
The gloomy bars OF fate.
Alternately the good and i'll,
The light and dark, are strung;
Fountains Of love within my heart,
And hate upon my tongue.
Beneath my feet the unstable ground,
Above my head the skies
Immortal lonGings in my soul,
And death before my eyes.
No purely pure, and perfect good,
No high, unhindered power;
4 besuieous promise in the bud,
And mildev on the flower.
The glad, green brightness Of the spring,
The summer, soft and warm;
The faded sutumn's fluttering gold,
The whirlwind and the storm.
To find some sure interpreter
Ny spirit vainly tries;
only know that God is love,
And know that love is wise.

The Nihilist Coat.

Monsieur S-was an editor on the
staff of the leading Warsaw paper. One
cold morning he was ambling over the
frozen ground in the direction of his
office with brandt new overcoat on,
when the passing police superintendent
halted him..and asked him to follow him
to his Office. Mr.. S-had enough re-
spect for his own welfare to do so.
After a sharp inquiry into his person
al affairs he was askedI where his coat
came from.
From Posen."

Thereafter, whenever he appeared in
the streets in his new overcoat he was
sure to meet police spy, who invaria-
bly, halted him and searched his pock-
cts. The regularity with which this &C.
Cured became monotonous, and he
called on the superintendent and re-
quested an explanation.
"Why do you wear this overcoat ?"
demanded the superintendent.
Because I have no other. What
has that got to do with the question 2"

"Well, Posen is the hot-bed of nihil-
ism. The head of the movement there
is the cloth manufacturer X. The cloth
your coat is made of comes from his
factory. Do you perceive
"Not quite. Because nihilist makes
the cloth wear anu I necessarily q
nihilist too ?"
If you were you would have been
in Siberia long ago. Still your wear
ing that coat is bad example. Take
my advice and get another"
AS, for reasons which will be obvious
to all journalists, M. s. could not
get another, he emigrated to Vienna,
where he tells his story in the Tagsblatt,
and wears his prescribed garment in
peace.

Languor, It's Cause and Remedy.

The cause Of languor, when it is not the
immediate Or indirect consequence of posi-
tive disease, is traceable to a facilitating
temperature. Persons living in a warm,
moist, climate are peculiarly subject to it..
Diminished physical vigor and an indisposi.
tion to active exertion are its characteristics.
sometimes it is accompanied by undue re-
Taxation of the bowels, and by dyspeptic or
bilious symptoms. A reliable remedy is
HOstetter's Stomach Bitters, Strengthening
and alternative medicine derived from the
purest and most eflicacious vegetable
sources, with pure spirituous basis, pro-
nounced by eminent physicians a mild and
wholesome stimulant. The Bitters, foremost
of American tonics, is largely used in the
tropics, where the climate is very productive
of debility, malarial fevers, and disorders Of
the bowels, liver and digestive organs.

THE BEST
TOILET SOAP
EVER MADE.

THE BEST soap for toilet use
ever manufactured. BEST because
it contains all the excellencies Of
the most expensive foreign or
American soaps without their de-
fects. BEST because it combines
strength with delicacy in such
way that its strong defensive quail
ties do not injure the skin. BEST
because it is the result Of years of
study and experiment in the soap
manufacturing business, assisted
by modern chemical discoveries.
BEST because it contains ingredi-
ents beneficial TO the skin, which
unite chemically with the soap
in such a manner as to increase
its saponaceous qualities. Every
chemist familiar with soap manu-
facture knows that some ingredi-
ents which are in themselves bene-
fetal to the skin cannot be saponi-
fed ; some are partially neutralized,
while others injure the quality OF
the soap. There are soaps in the
market which are to some extent
beneficial to the skin, but they are
inferior articles for toilet use.
PHOSPHATE SOAP is the ONLY
article offered to the public which
combines all the best clements OF
toilet soap with medical ingredi-
ents beneficial to the skin.

1t is an old proverb that an

If your wife is in tho habit OF
using cosmetics of any kind, advise
her to give up the pernicious prac-
tice, as the most harmless face
powders obstruct the pores Of tho
skin and sooner Or later injure the
complexion, while PHOSPHATE
SOAP removes oil impurities. and
assists nature in developing nat
ural, healthy and beautiful skin:

and hands, but for bathing the

thorough disinfectant and removes
offensive odors of every kind.

coveries of celebrated chemists.
