Put Life Into Your Work.

A young mans interest and duty both
dictate that he should make himself in
disrensable to his employers.
A young man should make his en-
ployer his friend, by doing faithfully
and infinitely all that is entrusted to
him.
1t is a great mistake to be over nicely
fastidious about work. Pitch in readily
and your willingness will be appreciated
while the "high-toned'' young man who
bubbles about what it is, and what it
is not his place to DO, will get the cold
shoulder.
There is a story that George Washing
ton once helped to roll a log that one OF
his corporals who was in his army
would not handle. and the great Empe
ror of Russia worked as shipwright in
England-to learn the business. Now,
that's Just what you want to do.
Be energetic, look and act with alac-
rity, take an interest in your employers
success, work as though the business
was your own, and let your employer
know that he may place absolute conf
dence in your words and acts. Be mind.
full; have your mind in your business
because it is that which is going to help
YOU, not those outside attractions which
some of the "boys" are thinking about
Take pleasure in work, do not go about
it in listless, formal manner, but with
alacrity and cheerfulness and remember
that while working thus for others you
are laying the foundation Of your own
success in life.

| A correspondent furnishes the follow
ing excellent article for publication:
TO those who like to contemplate the
personal history as distinct from the
official or political life of famous men,
| If NAV be of interest to know that the
name of Bonaparte which is crowded
with that series of marvelously brilliant
military triumphs of the great French
General by which he ultimately gained
his seat on the throne of France was not
the name by which his ancestry were
known up to perhaps the BEGINNING OF
the eighteenth century. In writing OF
THIS EXTRAORDINARY GENIUS
IT. is customary to say that he came of q
good but not very ancient family. The
actual fact is that his family were prom
inent and respectable for many genera.
tions previous to his birth, in 1859, but
not always under the name OF Bonaparte,
or, rather, Bounaparte, as it was spelled
by him until 1876. The family is GER
tainly known as early as 1876, when u
Greek colony from Manid landed in Cor
sica. under the leadership of Constan-
TIM Comnenus, and settled in the vlcln-
ity of Ajaccio. One of Constantine
sons. named Calomeros, was sent to
Florence on mission to the Grand Duke
of Tuscany, and on his return after some
years he married and left numerous des-
pendants. who, after the.then custom OF
the country, retained the first name
what we would call the Christian or
given nancy of their ancestor, who had
distinguished himself by his diplomatic
service. This continued to be
HIS FAMILY NAME
For same period, but in process of time,
as the Greek language began to be dis
placed by the more prevalent Italian,
the family discarded the name of Gallo
meras, adapting literal italian transla-
ton of the word, viz: Buona-parte.
When this change took place is difficult
to determine but il could not have been
very long before the life time of Napo
Icons father, for the other members OF
the Comneum family were accustomed to
speak of the Bonapartes up to the begin
ming of this century as the Calomeras,
or Calomeri according as they alluded
to one individual or several collectively.
The name makes but little difference to
the fame of an illustrious person. Vir-
gil, Cesar, Shakespeare and Nelson
would have made regulations under
Otuer tltleS, w washington "OuAu n"'S
been the noble patriot had he been born
Smith or Jones; and Napoleon Bona

Of modern times under the name of Ma

whether the latter rather harsh syllables

impression on the senses of an impress.
sionable people. Bonaparte has suiii-
GENTLY distinctive sound to be at once
familiar to a nation from its Latin origin
-Calomeras has no resemblance to any
French or Italian name and may have
been serious impediment to the ambi-
tious young Corsican, who skillfully
manipulated the weaknesses of disor-
ganized nation to his own advantage.

buying Fowls.

The time Is close at hand when many of our
new beginners and amateurs make their an
nual purchases. In the fall is a good time TO
buy stock, as breeders have more on hand than
they caro- to wintor over, and tho carly.hhtchod
chickens arc so well advanced that both seller
and buyer can with tolerablc accuracy Judge
Of their merits and dement's. Wintering over
large nocks OF fancy fowls is considered not n
very wise policy. They require n great deal
Of care, more houses and runs; danger Of con-
tracing disease and endangering the breeding
stock, on which so much labor, expense and
care have been given, arc obvious reasons why
breeders would be more inclined TO dispose Of
their surplus stock at fair prices. Those pur-
chasing young stock In tho fall should not
mate them In tho spring. Better get a two.
yoar-old cock for your pullets, or rice reTSd.
Tho progeny will be harder, stronger, and
make bcttcr layers. The organs of roproduc-
ton are not fully matured In cocks while other
parts are undergoing development. Cockerels
not Matched early, but brought to large size
by forcing, are too soft in tissue, bone and
muscle, and II mated with young hens or pull
lets feeble offspring Is apt to follow. Breed
ers who havo any young or old fowls TO sell
should advertise them In time. Buyers and
sellers ought to be better acquainted, and
know more about one another, and In this way
the poultry interests of the country Will be
kept up during the whole year.

A REMARKABLE CASE.
A Man who Was Fed Seven Months
Through a Hole In EEis Stomach.

st. Louis Republican.
One OF the most remarkable surgical opera
tions over performed In America ls described
In paper written by DR.. Frank j. Lutz, sur
geon OF the Alexian Brothers Hospital. The
subject, r. Hunecke, n German tailor, % years
old, who resided on South Tenth street, com
menccd In July, 1880, to experience consider
able difficulty In swallowing his food, which
grew 80 serious finally that he had tainted
several times from the pain. on October %
he consulted Dr. Luta, who, nftcr examinations
found an incipicnt structure OF the lower part
OF the csophagus, probably malignant. He
advised tho patient, who was very Intelligent
and OF n philosophic turn OF mind, of the
nature OF tho disease, and Its inevitable Issue
death by starvation. II was explained TO him
that his life could be prolonged and made COM
Portable, but that his disease was not curablc
and aftcr the difreront methods by which he
could be fed were explained he pronounced In
favorof n ''gastric flstula," which, being Inter.
preted, means nothing moro nor less
than hole cut into his stomach, through
could be introduced. The operation was per.
formed by DR.. Lut2, assisted by Drs. Wesseler,
Hickman and Fuhrmann. two.inch incision
was made parallel with tho cartilage OF tho
eighth rib, through which tho incision was
made into tho stomach, and stopped with a
plug OF carbolizcd gauzo. Aftor eight days the
wound had healed by granulntion, ana food
was introduced through the opening three
times u day. After food, whether solid or
liquid, had been thoroughly mastcated and
insalivated by the patient, he spat It Into n
rubber tube, through which It was conveyed
into the opening. DR.. Lutz observed that as
soon rs the patient began to mastcate his food
the gastric juice flowed freely through Tho
flstulous opening. by this means he was
kept alive seven months, long after tho ulcer
Of the esophagus had madc 1t impossible for
him TO swallow anything, fluid or liquid. Ho
died finally OF exhaustion, complaining OF n
violent thirst which nothing could quench.
With single exception llfo was sustained
longer In this instance than In amy of the
kind on record.

National Republican.
That there Is q volcano under the Treasury
Department, which Is liable to break out In n
violent state OF eruption at any moment, send
Ing forth huge volumes OF smoke, burning
lava, clerks, messengers, and employees gem
orally is commonly believed. This may be an
Exaggerated idea, but n mere mention OF II Is
enough to make Treasury employe turn pale.
A gentleman high I'm that Department told u
Republican reporter that the trouble with Lam
phero was the "lapse roll" This roll Is made
up in this way; When the position OF clerk or
other employe of the Treasury Department Is
vacant, It often happens that the vacancy re.
mains for some weeks without filling. The sal
airy OF this position which accrues during such
called tho "lapse fund" Persons arcs thcn
employed and paid out of this fund, and they
form tho "lapse roll" Those ON tho "lapso
roll " are considered rs next In line of promo
tion TO regular positions, 80 that while they
are paid lower rate of compensation than the
regular employees, place on the "lapse roll !"
is considered n good thing to have In tho
family. The trouble with nv Lamphore, the
appointment clerk, was about mis- roll. In tho
goodness of his soul he had became "long Z"
ON the roll and "short" on the fund-that Is,
he carried moro names on tho roll than he
could pay without leaving the regular posi-
lions vacant an uncomfortable longth of time.
This caused n change In that offlcc to be
deemed advisable by Secretary Folger, and
Mr.. Butler was accordingly appointed I'm Mr..
Lamphore's stead. The Secretary and Mr..
Butler arc busily engaged In the endcavor to
straighten this matter out.
