Titles.

There are in our more minute deal
ings with ecclesiastical and academical
dignitaries one or two delicate observ-
ances which are apt to puzzle strangers.
/ remember the odd effect of a letter to
the head of a college in Oxford, adj
dressed, in the way that in America is
polite, to president A." We never
say president A." We may say Mr..
or Dr. A., or The President of -
such a college, according to circum-
stances, but president A." on no &C
count. That is, as long as he is alive;
for, in showing the buildings of the col
lege we should say that such a part was
built by president b." That is, of
course, simply for shortness, to say
A. b. built the building, and that A. b.
was President. But we constantly say
''Archdeacon A" He is never cut
down to Mr.. or Dr., and it is only in
rather formal language that we say
- the ArchdeacOn of" such 4 place.
But the Dean is always ''the Dean of
sO-and-so, unless when, as in review,
he has to be mentioned several times,
and the full description becomes weari-
some. Then he may sink into "Dean
A" or even CDR. Al This may be
because the Dean commonly stands by
himself in the diocese, while of Arch
deacOns there commonly are several.
The last new thing in ecclesiastical
titles is the Bishop Designate" Or,
rather, he is not the last new thing, for
several still newer things have been
formed after his likeness, down even to
a "Curate Designate p" The Bishop
Designate" is creature of advertise
ments. l perfectly well remember
his beginnings. Some publisher
was advertising the writings of
n clergyman named, but not
yet cOnsecrated, to some Irish or Colo
NAL See. His proper description, of
course, was "Bishop elect;" but the adj
vertiser fancied that there could not be
a BishOp-elect where there was only one
electOr, so he invented the name of
bishop designate" The thing took;
only the name presently changed its
meaning. 1t is now used in the case of
an ordinary English Bishop to express
a stage, earlier than ''Bishop-elcct," o
stage namely, when no legal or eccle-
siastical step has yet been taken to
make him into Bishop. The Bishop
designate is one who has simply re-
ceived letter from the Prime Minister,
which as yet makes no difference what
ever in his actual legal or ecclesiastical
position, though it certainly makes it
highly probable that he will before long
be recommended by the Crown, elected
by the chapter, and confirmed and con-
secratad by the Metropolitan. Long
before even the first of those steps has
been taken, people now call him ''Bish-
op designate" quite gravely, as if it
were an established legal or canOnical
description, instead of the device of an
advertiser not many years back. Ihave
seen the nickname used in formal uni
versity notice, and l saw the other day
in the Court Circular something about
the Dean of Windsor Designate" The
oddeat thing of all was a serious discus
sion IN newspaper as to "the legal
status of a Bishop designate" as if
there really was such a creature IN re-
ram 1aatara.-E. 4. Freeman, IN Long

Sam Wednesday, an impecunious cit
izen of Austin, was supposed to be
crazy, and his relatives brought him be-
fore the County Court to have a JsaaGtico
dc inqutre1do jury pass on his mental
condition, his delusion being that he
was very rich. A lawyer proceeded to
ask the crazy man questions to test his
sanity.

Eneot Of Lightning on Trees.

The Geneva correspondent of the Lon
don Times writes: ''The frequency of
thunder storms in Switzerland this sum-
mer 1--WE have On an average two a
week. has afforded Prof Colladon, of
Geneva great authority on electricity
and meteorological opportunity
of continuing his observations on the
effect Of lightning on trees and yegeta-
ton generally. He has ascertained that
when lightning strikes a tree it leaves
very few marks of its passage on the
upper part and middle of the trunk, a
popularity which he ascribes to the fact
of those parts being more impregnated
with sugar-a good conductor-than
the lower part. AS the electric fluid
descends to the neighborhood of the
heavier branches, where there is less
saccharine matter, it tears open 6he
bark and in many instances shlVers the
tree. 1t is no uncommon thing to find
the lower part of a tree literally cut by
the lighting, while the upper portion
and the higher branches seem to have
suffered hardly at all. Oaks, however,
would appear to present an exception
TO this rule, for they are often found
with tops quite blasted, and the passage
of the lightning lower down marked by
gOuge-like furrow. These burrows
sOIneuneS 90 completely rOuuu the Tree
like a screw, the reason of which. says
Prof. CalladOn. is that the lightning fol-
lows the cells of which the bark is COM
posed lengthwise, and in certain sorts Of
| wood these cells are disposed spirally.
A curious effect of lightning on vines is
that it invariably strikes a great many
vine stocks at the same time over a
space, for the most part circular, from
eight metres to twenty-five metres in
diameter, and containing, therefore
several hundred vines. The plants most
| affected are those in the center of the
circle, and the number of burned and
yellowed leaves diminish in proportion
to their distance from that point. In
July two vineyards in this canton were
struck by lightning, and the first idea
of the prOprietors, on seeing their shriv-
eled vines, was that stil more dreaded
foe, phyllOxc-a, had been at work; but
when the professor was called in, he
speedily enlightened them as to the
true cause of the mischief, and, in proof
of his diagnosis, pointed out that the
! ground in the centre of the circle was
/ strewn with torn leaves and freshly
broken twigs.''

Mr.. s. s. HoDeEN, Jr.. of No. 147 Park street.
Lewiston, Ne. relates the following personal nara
tive May a. 1888: About fifteen months since had
severe attack of typhoid fever, was very lamc and
confined TO my bed for eleven weeks, and when che
back and loins seemed TO have strength and had
vitality appetite. tried various kinds of medi-
cine recommended by my friends, but found they did
not improve my condition. I induced try
Hunts Remedy which has been used with such great
success here in Lewiston that It has very enyable
reputation of being most reliable medicine. Ipur-
chased one bottle, and date my improved health
from the time commenced using It and my progress
continued rapidly; gained IN strength, and
perenced less pain in my back my appetite increased
and after using three CD bottles my pains were all
gone, and my health entirely restored. and most
heartily recommend Hunts Remedy to any who may
need true remedy for debility, kidney urinary
troubles"

COUNTRY QUIET.

I'd become SO exceedingly weary
OF the city's confusion and riot,
That packed my big trunk in a hurry
And went of to the country for quiet
l went on to the country for quiet;
But good gracious, didn't find any:
Though of noises absurd ana yexatiOus
found, why, can't tellhow many.
First, when to bed ! retired
The dog began bOw-wOw-wowing;
Then the old tabby cat and her kittens
Joined in with friendly meowing,
Joined in with a friendly meowing-
That set all the neighbor cats going,
And awakened wretch of n rooster,
Which in turn walked the echoes with crow
ing.
And the katydids ''did" and they didn't"
And the crickets they raspcd without stop
Raspe ,, not chtrped-and a host of nirht-nyers
'Gainst my windows kept constantly pop

'Gainst my windows kept constantly popping
Like so many small cannOns, while others
Went by with "a whiz and "a whirring
To return with their sisters and brothers.
And ere daylight the cows were a-mooing,
Hens cacklinR, and horses a-neighing,
Birds singing, boys whistling, and really

Where such hullabalOo was called quiet;
Aud fled, with relief quite refreshing,
Back to city confusion and riot.

"A young man in White County,
Georgia, had good deal of bad luck
one day recently. In attempting tC
cross the river in bateau, the boat cap
sized and threw him into the watcr.
Trying to reach the skiff again his foot
caught in a snag and wrenched it, and
he lost at the same time a $40 watch,
his hat, shoe, and the boat. He fin
ally reached the shore, and was hob
bling across a field when a ferccious
bull started for him. Reaching a tree
he climbed it lively enough to escape
the bull, but got into hornets nest.
The hornets objected, and he sprang to
another limb, which broke, letting him
fall to the ground, fracturing his wrist.
With the broken branch he kept the
bull at bay and managed to escape, but
is now laid up for repairs.-Atlonta
