The origin OF the titles = Ar" and 'sMrs ~
which are now common property, is not
without interest Is is thus accounted for by
The Oldham Chronicle:
In earlier times the ordinary man WIS sim
ply William or John; that Is 70 say, he had
merely Christian name without any kind
OF handle" before il OF surname after it
Some means OF distinguishing one John or
one William from another John or another
William became noccsary.
Nicknamcs derived from mans trade OF
his dwelling place, or from some personal Pc
culiaIity, were tackled on 10 their Christian
names, and plain John became John Smith.
AS yet thore were no "m;stersn in the land
Some John Smith accumulated more wealth
than the bulk OF bis fellows-becarne per-
haps. a landed proprietor or an employer Of
hired labor Then he began 70 be called in
the Norman French Of the day the ''mastre''
of this place or of that, OF these workmen or
OF those.
In time the "maistrer OF "maister,r as it
soon became. got tackled on before his name,
and ne became Master Smith, and his wife
was MaistreSs Smith. But gradually tho
sense Of possession was lost light of, and tho
title was conferred upon any man who had

mere possession of wealth or by holding some
position of more or less consideration and i'm
portancc.
It is only within comparatively modern
times that tho term came to be considered an
almost indispensable adjunct to every ones
name when mentioned in ordinary converse
ton or writing. Maistress Smith soon be-
camc Mistress Smith Exactly how and
when the term got corrupted cannot be SAID.
Master Smith, however, remained Master
Smith long after his wife became Mistress
Smith.

At Mr.. F. Horns establishment ester-
day we were shown a wedding cake,
which for excellence of work would be
hard to beat in any city. Mr.. Horn is
certainly at home in this branch OF his
trade. 1t is impossible to give a de-
scription of this cake, it should be seen
to be appreciated. To go into details
would almost fill volume. All those
contemplating matrimony should call at
his store early this morning and view it.

PEARLS OF

A mothers first work is to make home
happy.
Kind words cost nothing; don't be
saving of them.
He who rules must humor full as much
as he commands.
Troubles easy borne when everybody
gives it a lift for you.
Life is a pure flame, and we live by
an invisible sun within us.
Circumstances are the rulers of the
weak; they are but the instruments of
the wise.
W. all go through life making plans,
but how many live to see their plans &C
complished?
If there is any person to whom you
feel a dislike, that is the person of whom
you should never speak.
Make the. most of opportunities that
come to you; they arc like pearls on a
string-easily lost and hard to find.
Despise not little sins; they have
ruined many a soul. Despise, not little
duties; they have been to many a saved
man an excellent discipline of humility.
A lie on a throne is a lie still, and
truth in q dungeon is truth still, and a
lie ON a throne is on the way to defeat,
and truth in the dungeon is on the way
to victory.

A Fertile Desert.

It is swell known that the Sahara is
not everywhere synonymous with
desert, and that region, despite the dry
ness of its climate and the general aridi-
ty of its surface, possesses many a well
cultivated and thickly inhabited oasis,
where the two elements of sun and wa
ter has produced marvels in the way of
vegetation. The lower Sahara is an i'm
mense basin of artesian waters and at
times there is a supe-abundance, but
the number of cultivated tracts is in
creasing rapidly, there being no fewer
than forty three olses in the Oued-Rir,
which, after a period of thirty years has
10, 900 inhabitants, $50 palm trees in
full bearing-that is, which have been
planted more than seven years--120, 600
trees between one and sever years--100,-
900 fruit trees, while the value of the
dates grown each year averages e100,-
900.
The GASES of Laghouat and Oued Mizl
and those of Yeryville and Ain-Sana
have 100, 900 palm trees, and those of
Figuig lac, 900, while Mzab, with its
so, coo inhabitants, nearly all shepherds
OF merchants, cultivates 200, 900. Fab,
together with the Sahara slope of the
Auees, has so GASES which grow 900, 900
palm trees and 500, 900 fruit trees.
Sout, with a population of Il, 1000, has
$50, 600 palm trees of the choicest kind
and over so, 900 fruit trees. Lastly, the
various GASES of Ouargla have over AGO.
900 palm trees and 100, 900 fruit trees.
All these results, to say nothing of
the trade in wool, the cultivation of to-
bacco, vegetables, corn, the vine and
other things grown beneath the shelter
Of the palm trees, and the raising of os-
triches, which, it is considered might
be made as profitable as it is at the
cape, have been arrived at partly by the
natives and partly by the French, though
the latter had not begun to COLOMBO sa-
hara until within the last ten years.
They began by buying GASES and gar
dens in the Fab and the Oued-Rir, and
after that they set to work to form
fresh GASES in the region of Bishra, and
especially in the Oued-Rir. -[Pall Mall
Gazette.

''Beaneries. -

Beanery is a word, presumably of Bos-
tonian origin, signifying a cheap restau-
rant. New York City, which can chal-
lenge the world to a comparison, for ele-
gance, excellence and variety, in res
~tRurants of the first-class, offers also q
peculiarly rich s6udy in beaneries. Some
few of these latter furnish such a good,
wholesome, homely repast that their
patrons can easily imagine themselves
living on the fat of New England;
others run to gaudy but unsubstantial
pastry; still others, on the strength of a
stuffed cow and an assortment of watery,
farinaceous gruels, set up as "dairies-;"
but with the majority a bewild%ing va
riety of cheap dishes is the first consid-
Grafton, and a lightning-like dispatch of
service the second. You can order a
dinner of half-a-dozen plats for twenty
cents, and if you haven't reached the
dessert in five minutes, yoNr uncon-
scionable dawdling attracts attention.
In the Bowery or Chatham street res
taurants like the 'sLon Topper the
"Grand Republic" the "Jim
Fisk" the s"sBoss Tweed"
or the "Grover Cleveland" IN
able bodied waiter will take a dozen
orders, and return with the forty or fifty
plates piled up and balanced on his arms,
neck, shoulders, and apparently on his
ears, in the time a Delmonieo waiter
would consume in handing you the
menu. These beanery walters are a pc
culiar class. Their bearing Is a mixture
of the despotic dignity of the Car of all
the Russias and the swagger Of the
Whyo tough" They have an argot,
or slang, peculiar to their 'Sperfesh," to
which the placards and bills of fare of
the beaneries do not furnish a kc;yIss--:
when an uniaitiated patron orders, for
instance, a plate of griddle-cakes, a cup
of coffee with milk, a plate of hash and
a baked potato, he is astounded to hear
it bawled out by the Waiter in the fol-
lowing terms: "GiAme a stock o
wheats, a cup o coffoS on clutches, an
insult to a square meat and a paralyzed
Mick."-TFrank LesliDs.

John Harmon was mere worthy to be
glorified by that same heroic light with
which she had invested Steve.
It made no difference when Steve con-
fessed his temptation to her afterward.
What woman viii not forgive a man
who errs through loving hera
Those roses were never intended for
Dolly, after all. They were meant for
a little lame orange girl who was fast
dying Of consumption. They were the
one bright spot in her joyless life, and
that was the only pay night as long as
she lived on which John Harmon failed
to take them to her.

Journalism In JaDan,

Journalism Is making rapid progress,
although the largest daily In Japan has
not more than twenty thousand subscri-
bers, says a letter to the Globe-Demo-
crat. In Toxic there are five leading
dailies, besides over a dozen of less i'm
portance. The (Jiji shimpo) Times is
undoubtedly the best edited newspaper
in this country, and next to it comes the
Toxic Daily News, a semi-official organ.
Among recent successful papers may be
noted the Friend of the People. edited
by a young politician, who promises to
become one of the most powerful ado,
vocates of the people in the Parliament,
which is to be established IN 1890.
Among the papers of the central and
southern provinces the Osaka Morning
Sun deserves mention as having the
largest circulation of any journal in
Japan. In a japanese newspaper Impe-
rial ordinances, new laws and regula-
tions come first; then the editorial Zone
only)i then local and foreign kilograms,
domestic and foreign paragraphs corre-
spondence, mil notices and timetables,
and finally n meager page of adver-
tisements. Only one daily paper in the
Empire gives more than four pages of
mental pabulum to its subscribers. OF
illustrated papers there is quite a large
number; but they are invariably COM
monplace, given to slangy expressions,
sensational sketches, and more than
questionable personal remarks.
