SELLING NAMES FOR A LIVING.
Tho Novel Avocation of n Man Who
Saws the Public is Grateful to Hum.

Chicago News.
In the rear of a cigar store in Eighth
avenue yesterday, says the New hork
Sun, a man was treading a small press
which constantly turned out sheets OF
names. Dealing in names was the
mans business. All around him were
shelves laden with cardboard boxe iuii
of names on sheets like those he was
printing. On the edges of the shelves
we're printed strips besring the words
'~lawyers," ''doctors," druggists,
''crocers," and so on through the long
list of avocationS. .,

man, ''but | don't suppose ! have got halt

RayrLEsNAKE JaKE's DEATH.
How Two Wild Men Of the wild
West Died With Their
Boots On,
Portland O~regonian,

Portland Oregonian,
On Big Spring creek, in Meagher
county, a few days ago, Rattesnake Jake
and his partner, OFa'lon, two despera.
does and reputed horse thieves, attempted
to run a small place called Lewiston, and
meeting with some opposition they de-
clared they would clean out the town,
and commenced shooting at everybody IN
sight. There were only three guns III
the town, and they were placed III the
hands of men of %uudaunted courage, who
used them with such good effect that both
of the supposed hors1 thieves were run
down in short order, O'Fallon
being shot first, through and
through, with a Winchester rifle, and
Rattlesnake served il like manner a
short time afterwards. Both men
showed great pluck. OFalion, after
being shot through rode back to his
partner and asked him ii he was hurt.
Jake said he was. "Well," said O'Fal-
lon, "a am shot and | am a dead man,
but ] will stay with YOU" At that mo.
ment he fell from his horse, then raised
himself upon his knees, took deliberate
aim with a Winchester at q young man
named Smith, an outsider, who was try
ing to get away from the %fracas, and shot
him through the head killing him in
stantly.
The citizens saw that there would be
moro men killed if the thing was moi
ended quickly, and shooting from pistols
of all sizes commenced in earnest. ORAL
len took five shots in the body before
he fell the second time, and then hi
raised himself on his side aud continued
shooting until he had not strength tt
support himself, and after lying down ht
kept shooting as long as there was life IL
him.
Rattlesnake Jake, after he was sho
through the body, kept shooting; thei
his right arm was broken by a ball, ant
he changed to his left hand, and KEEP
shooting; another ball broke his right leg
and, supporting himself by the other, h
kept shooting; another ball struck hi
chin, carrying away half his jaw, whe'
he fell 10 the ground, r3ised himself o
his side, and kept shooting. From weak
ness he could not support himself an
longer, and fred lying flat on the ground
There were nine balls in him before h
. gave up. Just before he drew his Las
breath he made an effort to draw his phi
toll again, but had not strength enough

robbers trouble or not. When examining
bees in preparing thom for winter ron
bers are often particularly troublesome
To save themselves from these annoy,
ences. many bee keepers have q small
tent, in which they can perform the Wofk
of the apairy. This consists OF a ngn'
frame work covered with mosquito net
ting, easily carried from place to place
and set over the hives that are to De
opened.
Grading, Grating, aud shipping honey
The frat grade should consist OF only
p~erfect, white combs, and it is the wri-
ter's opinion that, in many instances,
there should be only this one grade OF
comb honey. Some bee-keepers make a
second grade or unfinished sections, put
il the apiary is rightly managed, there
will be but few Of these at the close OF
the season, and il is better to extract the
honey from them, and keep the combs
until another season. Honey that is toe
dark for che frat grade, should not, as 2
general thing, be stored in sections as II
Is usually moro profitable to extract II;
Before Grating, sections should be scraped
clean of propolis. A small crate is pref
cradle. il is more easily handled, and lest
liable to be dumped" while it sometime
enables the retailer to sell a whole crate
of honey at once. Sections should b'
placed only ono tier high in shipping
crates because il any combs of the upper
becomes injured, the honey drips dow
and soils those of the lower tier. Some
bee.keepers make a shallow dish o
heavy manila paper, and place it in thu
bottom of tho crate, then ii combs arr
injured the "dish" catches the honey
aud prevents the soiling of other crates
All honey crates should have glass on =
least one of their sides.
Small lots of honey should be sent b!
express, and large ones by freight. Elk
press matter is necessarily handled
rapidly, and when there is a large lot o
honey to unload, it is apt to be jerke'
off IN a hurry. When a large lot o
honey ia sent by freight, the consigne
should be notified in advance, so That n
may see to the unloading. Small crate
should not be stacked up in a tall, W
right pile, in a car, but built in tn
shape Of a low pyramid. If access ca
be had to one END Of the car, place tn
honey there, az it will be protected o
three aides from tumbling down, an
upon the other it can bs built up like
fight of stairs, which will pretty effectt
ally prevent any crate from receiving
tumble. Always handle honey wit
care.

Cambridge Tribune.
A fashionable young lady at the Grand
Union, In Saratoga. gives the following
account of her silver poodle: "He's a
daisy, he is. SO nice and clever. He
has his tooth brush and keeps just as
still when the maid uses it with powder.
He likes to have his hair oiled and
combed, and takes a shampoo with per-
Iect delight. When he goes to bed he
lays his head on the pillow and goes to
sleep like a tired boy. It's lots OF work
caring for the brute, though. There's
one thing I'm thankful for, he's always
dressed in the morning"

True Dramatic Art.
[Labouchere in London Truth ]

Art consists in concealing art. Ne
great actor or actress that over livcG
was really natural, al though mar
have pretended that they we're. If S
girl on stage approaches prccipioe
of cardboard, over which she is to be
hurled on to q concealed feather bed
she may portray the emotion of fear.
but she cannot really feel it. If sho is
imploring some one to save her life
with whom she knows that she will be
gossiping five minutes later, she can
not herself imagine that her life is in
danger. In both cases she must simu
late, and she is q good OF bad actress
in proportion as she does this effect
lvely. Tragic intensity is nothing more
than the perfection Of art.
L remember once being behind tbt
scenes in u theatre while Rachel wa,
thrilling an audience before the curtain
When she came off she was perfectly
cool and collected. asked her whethe,
she really had felt what she had beer

the scene. That Miss Anderson might

tenslty into some of her scenes is truo
but to expect her really to believe that
