What's in a Name.

The Hon. Marshall P. Wilder, Presi-
dent of the American Pathological So
ciety, in his recent address al Philadel-
phIa, has something to say about the
naming of new fruits, which, it is to be
hoped. will be needed by those who
may have produced new varieties
worthy Of being disseminated. He
says: "Let us have no more Generals,
Colonies, or Captains at ached to the
names Of our fruits; no more Presidents,
Governors, or titled dignitaries; no
more monarchs, kings, or princes; no
moreimammoths, giants, or Tom Thumbs;
no more nonsuches, seek no-turlhers.
ne plus ultras, hog pens, sheep noses,
Big Bohs, iron clads, legal tenders,
Sucker States, or stump-the-worlds!'
He advises the use of the simplest
names, and only one word will, as rule,
form a better name thar two or more.
All the big and little names mentioned
above are attached to fruits i'll cult
Walton. and it is time that simpler ones
were emploved.-New York Sun.

A Parcel Post.

Dr. A. Lefinger says, in The Laws of Life ''We are undoubtedly smart people, and yet an incomprehensible reluctance to adopt any governmental method for .puplic benefit seems always to characterize our national leg islators. Penny postage was effected in Eng land several years before we could see an y good in 1t. Postal cards were in use over half of Europe before the convenience was reoog- nized in this country. An improvement in the ordinary postal card, by which the sen der can prepay 8 reply, has just been effected by the English Postmaster General. After it has been in use some six months or year in Eu- rope, the department of our own country may be expected to take it up and intro duce it. with flourish. Switzerland has add ed the advantages of 8 parcel express system tosthe general postoffice. once started to walk over a mountain pass from one town to another, land upon taking my portmanteau to the postofice, duly labelled, it was stamped like huge letter, and I found it awaiting me when I reached my destination. In New York when post letter at the corner lamp post, there is the watning that it must not contain anything valuable. since the collector who handles all the mail may easily abstract it. When one goes to Germany, however, his letters thus posted drop into locked tin box within the other receptacle, and the col
 Iector, who drives about in light cart, has only to substitute an empty case for the one that he takes. Do you wish to mail news paper or small parcel in any of our large cities between New York and San Francisco :? If at distance from an office you must lay it outside on the top of the box, to be wet by rain or stolen by piIfering boys. In Austria, on the contrary, you will find 8 large recepta- cle for newspapers and parcels, always by the side of the letter box. Do you wish to buy postagestamps Fin New York?

Building 8 Yacht.


 It costs more in proportion to build yacht than 1t does vessel of any other description. Not only are the very best oak and other ma terials required, but the builders expect bet ter pay for the services of themselves and their workmen than do the builders of ordi- nary vessels There are yacht builders at Nyack, Greenpoint Staten Island, Bay Ridge, City Island, Pamrapo, and various points along the coast and up the Hudson. These men will not undertake to build boat unless they can see their way clearly to the making of handsome profit. It would be difficult to have seventy foot yacht built in good style for much less than SIG, ,oeo, while first class schooner yachts cost all the way from SlO,OOO to $20, 00O.- There are 8 number of sehooners of less than 100 tons burden be longing to the New York Yacht club, which cost at least $50, 900. In fitting up these craft any amount of money may be spent. In furnishing the cabin of one of these boats q wealthy gentleman recently paid $l00 apiece for the curtains of the berths. Steam yachts are more expensive than sailing ones. Il would be difficult to have one of the former built for much less than $50, 900. For about $6O, GOO handsome steam yacht of some. thing over 100 tons, according to the new government measurement, can be built. One was launched about year ago, the hull oi which, including the engine and boilers, cost $6O GOO, and by the time her cabins were fit ted up, and her spars and rigging put in shape, she had cost the owner $100, 900. She was of about 25O tons burden, according to the new measurement. Some of the larger steam yachts which are now building will cost steamships, and it is almost as expensive to build one of them as it is 8. mail steamer re gistering as many thousands of tons as the former does hundreds,

An American Sunday.


 On more than one occasion, have taken the liberty to observe that the American Sun- day. so far as have had the opportunity of observing it, was socially day of tribula- ton. In the Northern and Middle States-so it seems to me-but I am, of course, as in all things, open to conviction the rigid Puritanical or Mosaic observance of Sunday is prescribed by the laws of the State Those laws are in the highest degree accept able to class who, by right and custom, are socially by far the most influential in the United States-I mean the ladies' Women do not frequent bars or barbers shops, they are not given, in this country at least, to driving fast horses they do not smoke cigars, and they are extremely fond of going to church, of wearing their finest clothing thereat, and of listening to emotional music, and to preachers who are either emotional or comic or both. The sermons of the most popular of the New York clergymen are lit eralIy as good as play and with plenty of stirring music, and pulpit oratory appealing either to the risib1e or the lachrymose facul- ties, there is surely no reason, so far as fem mine New York is concerned, why the theater should be opened on Sunday. Thus lovely woman, both from devotional and a recrea- tive point of view, halls Sunday as g sweet boon

RECENT PUBLICATIONS.

s'The Works of James Abram Garfield,'' edited by President Hinsdale of Hiram col Iege, are published by James R. Osgood & Co.,, Boston, in two octave volumes containing more than 500 pages each. The contents consist largely of speeches in the House of Representatives and other political addresses delivered after Garield's entrance to Con- gress in 1863, that at his inaugural be ing giv- en at the end of the work. critic says Throughout he shows himself to be firm supporter of specie payment. a moderate
 protectionist and an earnest advocate of civil-serVice reform. In March, 1870, he called the attention of Congress to Secretary
 McCulloch's remarkable statement s'If
 you will give me one-half of what it costs to run the Treasury Department of the United States, will do all the work better than it
 is done now, and make great fortune out
 of what can save" ''The same, :" adds Gar field, might be said of all our executive de- partments- D Thon and always he favored competitive examination, and sometimes used it himself, as in selecting cadets for Annapo- lis and West Point. Among the occasional addresses, that on college education, deliver ed in 1867, and others on the same subject, are remarkable for the earnestness with which he urged practical education. While he admired Greek and Latin to an advanced
 liberal education, he thought that they had received too much attention in comparison with history and science. He was an in tersely practical man. and never scared be. yond the hearing of his audience. He recog- nized the folly of wasting our means in orna- LEent ing the outside of schools, while the distracting the young scholars attention from essentials by multitude of ologtes; and he wanted the United States to help on the cause. But the kind of education that he had in view was thoroughly practical always. Study for the sake of mere culture hardly occurred to him. He did not think much of a college course which left the student ignor- ant of how to harness @ horse or draw a bill of sale. The things to study were those that bore on bodily health, business success, poli- tics, and, above all, religion. This is not, of oourse, the liberal education of a more cul- tured community, but it was appreciated in Hiram college. The early history of the anti-slavery movement is told with great pow CT in his eulogy on Giddings; and in that on Thomas occurs this spirited account of the
 generals success at Chickamauga in holding the road to Chattanooga, ''the pivot of the battle, ' after our whole right wing had been broken, and .sRoseerans was himself swept away in the tide of retreat" The volumes are finely printed and bound, and are for sale by Horace King of Thompsonville, Con- necticut.

Midday Dinner.
From the London Telegraph.


 To consume hearty midday meal and to take.a full hour for it's consumption would be tantamount to return to the manners of pre- Independence days, and, indeed, to the manners of Old England Mission. French traveller in England, quoted by MT. John Ashton in his ''Social Life in the Reign of Queen Anne,' remarks: ''The- English eat a great deal at dinner; they rest awhile, and to it again. till they have quite stuffed their ,paunch. Their suppsrs are moderate-giut- ton at noon, and abstinent at night. l al ways heard that tLey were great fish eaters, and found it true. I have known many people in England that never eat any bread, and universally they eat very little; they nibble 8 few crumbs, while they chew the meat by whole mouthfuls." When New Eng land was an English colony the universal dinner hour was noon, and traditions of the staple of the old fashioned fare yet finger in the favorite New England dishes, pork and beans and Indian pudding-the last com post of stcorn," meal and molasses. In the old Knickerbocker days of New York, people dined early and substantially, but we may rest tolerably well assured that the comforta
 ble and phlegmatic Dutch burgers of Man haitian took the fullest of hours for their meal and it's digestion. After the dinner came 8 pipe-many pipes, probably. The modern Americans are not pipe-smoking people, and to judge from the s'sandwich and piece

 Five suicides of singularikind have recent ly been reported from Europe. Two of them occurred at Monte Carlos. One was the case of Lyons commercial traveller who lost 5000 francs, belonging to his employer, at the gaming tables and failed to induce the Casino managers to extricate him from his difficulty the other that of Count Martini, who had met with heavy losses at the gaming tables. Two of the others occurred in Paris and in the same house. A young man had embedded 10000 francs. His aups, with whom he lived, he had been pressed to induce to sell her shop to make good the loss. He had re- fused to do this, but had offered to pay back the sum out of his salary. His employers de-

THE WONDER

Is becoming universal as to how such an im- mense sale could be created in Lowell for Hoops SARsAPARILLA. But, my friend, if you could stand behind our counter week and hear what those say who are using it, the reason would appear as clear as the noen-day sun. The real curative power of Hoops SARsAPARILLA demonstrates itself in every case where OUT directions are faith fully regarded. We would that we might get before the people a fractional part of the confidence that is expressed to us every day in this medicine by those who have carefully noted (without preiudiee) it's effects upon the blood and through that upon the whole sys- tenn, stimulating all the functions of the body to perform the duties nature requires of them.

Thigh license'' experiment which will be watched with much interest is to be tried at Brockton, Mass. The price of frst-class licenses has been fixed at seven hundred dol lars each; of second and third class licenses at two hundred and fifty dollars each; and of druggists licenses at three hundred and fifty dollars each. The saloons are also ordered to close at half-past ten every evening except Saturday and at eleven that evening.
 In the Methodist conference which has been in session at Boston sharp attack was made the other day on the color line at the South, and the policy of setting of the colored churches by themselves. Rev. Dr. Fox said that to draw color line at the door of Methodist church was not only wicked but ridiculous, and if the retention of white members at the South is dependent on keeping up caste lines, then the white members had better go. Rev. Mr. Vaughn, presiding elder of the Virginia conference, showed the other side of the question, and that the same reason which called for color ed churches in Boston calls for them in Vir- ginia, and when they are abolished in Bos- ton they will be abolished in Virginia. This is a fair hit.
