SOME FASHIONS IN NAMES.
Society Follows European Customs
 in Other Matters than Dress.


 [Cor. Cleveland Herald.
 It would seem that fashions in sign ing ones name would be superfuous; :; that if one had name that was the thing to sign, that and nothing but that But, alasi ones simple name is not sufficient. Some time ago certain young men of social aspirations started the fashion of representing their first names merely by an initial letter, while the middle names, often improved upon or invented for the purpose, were spelled out in full. The novelty of this has worn off somewhat, and we are not unduly impressed by card bearing the name of "J. Fortescue Browne" or "S. de Smythe Jones'" But now that women have come to using the same fashion we are little surprised. That it is not simply ripple upon the sea of fashion is shown in the fact that sev- eral wedding invitations have gone out with the brides name similarly en- graved, both in New York and Phila- delphia.
 A later custom than this is being in troduced at present, that of signing the entire name in full, and also that of joining two names as surname. The first comes from England, from whence we are getting so many of our fashions nowadays. English women and men sign Mary Elizabeth Jones, or Herbert Lionel Brown, as mere matter of course, and If he or she were given as many more names, would use them all, for, why are names given them if not for use? And do not three or four names look more important than one with initials?
 The second, that of joining two names as a surname, comes from Trance. where it is customary to use the name of the wife as well as the hus- band. There is much more reason for this latter custom than the former This usage makes 1t an easy matter to give woman her proper place among her own or her husbands family. Mrs. Jones is very indefinite. There are so many Mrs. Joneses that We cannot tell, unless we know her we'll, which Mrs. Jones it is we know. But Mrs. John Hamilton Jones tells us at once that a Miss Hamilton married Mir. John Jones, and that Mir. John Jones married one of the Hamilton girls.
 In the case of widow who has mar ried again, it is quite customary to see cards engraved, "ATrs. J. Frances English" Frances being the first hus- bands name. This custom obtains more generally among women Who have attained something of reputation so- cially, artistically, or otherwise, which they do not wish to lose by hiding theil identity under new name.

The Queen of Weanons.

Archibald Forbes in Pall Mall Gazette1
 Both in Afghanistan and in Zululand it befell me to see something of the use of cold steel, and can not agree with your correspondent "C. B." that against foes armed with stabbing i'm plements as their main weapon any advantage would be gained by discard ing the bayonet for the short swords, the Ghoorka kukrie, the American bowie-knife, or any other kindred in strument. Napier was right; the bay onet in the queen of weapons" that is, of all varieties of Iarme blanche; of death-dealing instruments that one man can wield, the repeating rifle is unques- tionably the most lethal.

The Last Dollar in San Francisco.
 San Francisco Post.l

The other morning @ sad-looking citi- zen walked into the office of Wells, Fargos express and began solemnly doing up in package a battered-look- ing silver dollar. Paving accomplished this he passed the inclosure over to the clerk and said:
 q found this dollar on Market street last night, and I wish you'd address it to Adeline Patti, New York"
 "Think she lost it, eh ?"
 "Think p said the man, in surprised voice, "Why, of course So far as l can learn it's the only dollar left in San Francisco, and, of course, it must have been dropped by her. Send it along, please, and you'll have to collect the charges at the other end. I haven't got a cent
 And there wasn't man in the house but was dry as the citizen walked off to keep an engagement with the bank ruptcy commissioner.

Signs ot the Vendetta.
Paris Figaro

Tho vendetta still survives in Naples,
 but it is curious that warning of it is neveE given in words. The language
 of signs, which every Neapolitan of the
 lower classes knows, is generally used, and the gesture most commonly en- ployed is made by pressing the thumb and forefnger together in such a way as to leave small narrow space be- tween them, which is supposed to typ fly the hole the challenger hopes to make in his adversary's body. In Ma pies, too, men still bite their thumbs, as they did in the days of Sampson and Gregory; and this ill not an expression of conteMpt, but q declaration of war.

I saw young man to-day who had $2,0OO to spend, and only three months for the job. How was that? Why, he has consumption, and the doctors as sure him that he will die about the lst of next July. He is a rounder, and has figured up his finances so as to exactly leave enough to bury him. The res' he will spend in riotous pleasures. ! read of such case, and didn't believe it {; but this one is fact, and isn't it herri- ble to think of death-spree?

 Tepid water acts promptly as an emetic, and hot water taken freely half an hour before bedtime is the best of cathartics in the case of constipation, while it has a most soothing effect on the stomach and b'wels. This treat ment continued for few months, with proper attention to diet, will cure any curable case of dyspepsia.

Moses in the SOudan. rA.a,,so,,. II-l,.a


 The Soudan is none other than the Cush of the Bible, which the Septuagint and the Vulgate render i thiopia. When Moses had arrived at man estate Egypt was invaded by an Ethiopian army, which success sfully Ia d waste the coun- try as far as Memphis. In their de-. spair the Egyptians prayed to their oracles for aid, and the advice they re- .ceired was that they should offer the leadership of their armies to Moses, the Hebrew.' This they did. The great difficulty of the campaign was to traverse the roads which led to the Ethiop all c.mp, in consequence of their being infested with dangerous ser pents. The willy Israe!ite provided his advance guard with number of ibes in baskets and instructed the soldiers to let the birds loose on the serpents. By this ingenious expedient the roads were speedily cleared and Mo, es was enabled to surprise the Philippians and defeat them with great slaughter.
 Carrying the war into Meroe itself, Moses then laid siege to the capital, Saba. The obstinate resistance offered by the defenders prolonged the siege for some time, but eventually the city was delivered up by 1harbis, the daughter of the Ethiopian king, who had watched Moses from distance, and from admiring his valor had fallen in love with him. The story ends happily with the marriage of Moses and Tharbis.

Thirteen Millions from Gunp6wder.
 Philadelphia Record

MT. Lammot Dupont, who was killed by the explosion at Thompson's Point, is said to have been worth $13, 100000. He had controlling interest in the man. ufacture of nearly all the high explosives that were made in the United States and Canada east of the Rocky noun tains. Ten million pounds of these materials were consumed in the country in 1882, the Repauno companys works at Thompson's Point producing one third of this amount. He is credited with having organized @ combination of all the makers of high explosives. When negotiating with the Panama Canal company for the powder to be nsed in that work he guaranteed to sup ply twelve tons of Atlas powder daily If that amount were needed.
 Che of the most daring achievements recorded in the history of the present century is one of which he was the cen tral figure. During the Crimean war the Russian government ran out of powder, and the explosive was required to continue the defense of Sebastopol. A cargo was purchased from the Du- ponts in this country and was placed in in a steamship lying off Baltimor9 The British had frigates posted in wait ing outside the Chesapeake. After seven feints the watchers were eluded and chase began across the Atlantic, through Gibraltar, and up the AIedi- terranean sea. With remarkably good fortune the vessel passed through the Bosporus and into the Black sea unchecked; but when near ing the place of contention the English war-ships hailed the stranger. Young Dupont was at the helm himself, and insisted that the vessel proceed, not needing the signals from the war-ships. Two broadsides were poured into the vessel, but she was able to steam ahead and steer through the rocks, and was beached inside the Russian lines. This daring adventurer saved the cargo for which the Russian government paid the sum of S3,OO0,000
 Throughout the civil war the family rendered distinguished services to the government, and at the very beginning of the rebellion Mir. Lammot Dupont was placed in position by which, through his energy and genius, the country was supplied with the means of defense for the ensuing conflict.

better understanding of the claims of labo'
has been forced from between the fingers
of wealth by the chosen advocates of

1t is equally true that every evil of which

There was no call for the banding of
labor organizations for mutual protection
during the low-tariff period. Strikes and
lockouts were almost unknown prior to
1850 The tramp is the child of the tariff.
With every body employed one year under
the stimulus of bounties to manufactures,
and million workmen idle the next year
as the result of an invited over production,
economic disorder and disaster are ineV-
liable.
Even the conjured evils of "free trade"
which no one invokes-could not be
worse for the wage workers than were the
conditions for them during most OF the

petuate. Mr.. Powderly is right. organ
