A Girls Allowance.

New York Observer.
| don't forget that money with
young girls is very variable
quantity, depending largely upon the,
indulgence or caprice of others. l
believe if those parents who like so
well to crafty you, could know what
a pleasure it would be, they would
grant you each an allowance. Some
girls could be trusted to buy every
thing they need from clothing to
candy and every one Of you would
be the better for having an allowance
of spending money, if it was not more
than five cents week but your very
own, to do with exactly as you please,
and account to your own conscience
for it. 1 think, girls, | should do a
little coaxing, little special pleading
to accomplish this, if were you.
Some of you know the pleasure of
earning what you have; a real
pleasure it often Is. But however it
comes, the first thing in practical
way is to keep a cash account. 1t is
very simple your father or brother
will teach you how, and the time
comes too quickly to most of us when
such a habit is of great Importance.
Balance the account at least once a
month, and know where all the
pennies go.

OUR COUNTRIES NAME.
Can There Not BE Found Some Other
Title Than 1.-THE United Statos?"

Can There Not BE Found Some Other
Title Than 1.-THE United Statos?"
Probably the worst name for coun-
try known to history is tie United
States of America. 1t is ambiguous,
may mean either u nation or u con-
federacy, and has two senses in the
Constitution. 1t is not so trivial as
New Found Land, but it is longer, and
does not admit of shortening rs does
the name of our neighbor island to
Newfoundland. New South Wales is
almost as bad. and all three are awk-
ward beyond redemption.
The test of The name of country is
in whether it admits of q derivative
gentle noun and adjective. Europe
gives us European; Britain, British;
Cyprus. Cypriote, and Siam, Siamese.
These are good as names. But no
man can bring himself to say that he
is New South Welshman. or that he
is a United States of American. And
so, after the fashion in which the
neighbors of Praise-God Bar ebone's
brother with the wonderful name, IF
Christ Had Not Died Thou Hadst Been
Damned" said it for short, we are in
the habit of calling ourselves simply
by the tail end of our proper designa-
ton, Americans, forgetful that every
human being from Yukon to Patagonia
has equal rights with us to the name.
Some of our States allow no deriv.
alive. A man from Virginia is Vir-
ginian, from South Carolina q, South
Carolinian; but how does man from
Massachusetts pronounce his name9
Only Yankee, which is no less absurd
than for Enroughty to spell Darby.
What is q man from Connecticut
Still Yankee. What is a man from
New HampshireP Still a Yankee, al
though Senator Cass tried to better the
term when he called John P. Hale a
New Hampshire goose, and Hale re-
torted by calling Cass Micbigander.
Men from Maine can still be only Yam
KEGS, or Down casters, for they resent,
we believe, being called Maniacs. The
later names adopted by our States are
generally musical and disable, although
Ohioan is disagreeable derivative Of
Ohio. The gentle word ought to be
Oiiote, like Cyprote, but perhaps the
people of that great State do not care
to rhyme with coyote. Wisconsin re-
fuses as strenuously as Michigan to &C
cept q derivatiye, as the only one pos
sible would be Wisconsinner.
Of the present Territories Idaho has
q very sweet name, but what could its
citizens call themselves? We suppose
the people of Utah might be Utes, bu
if the Territory were to take the pro
posed State name it would be hard tt
call them D3serctters. What WI
chiefly seek in name is thatit be easy
to pronounce and be flexible. 1T
me aiming is of little consequence. Al
aboriginal name, well built up O
novels and consonants that has mean
ing to nobody but j. Hammond Trum
bull and Dr. Riggs is the perfection o
q name for an American State. m ]

To Assist Nature

In restoring diseased or wasted tissue is
all that any medicine can do. In pull
monary affections, such as Colds, Bron-
chitis, and Consumption, the mucous
membrane first becomes inlamed, then
accumulations form in the air-cels Of
the lungs, followed by tubercles, and,
finally, destruction OF the tissue. 1t is
plain, therefore, that, until the hacking
cough is relieved, the bronchial tubes
can have no opportunity to heal.

WARREN, In his 87th year.
DIR. Warren came to Worthipgton
with his family in 1882. and was we'll
and tavorably known to. all our people.
He had been a sufferer from bronchites
for A years, and latterly had suffered
much from the disease in it's acute
form. Last winter he spent in Cali
fornia aud received some benefit from
the climate. but the relief was only
temporary. and he died, as above stated,
from acute bronchites.
DR.. Warren WAS born in Vermont,
1922. He came first to Illinois and
thence to Iowa, locating in Cedar Falls
in 1855. From there he removed to
Lamars for a years residence, and
thence to Worthingtou, his son being
the station agent at this place. His
wife and two children survive him, the
son. E. E. Warren, being still the

MISR BUSINESS MEN,
The following statement correcting
another of E. s. Mills reckless state
meuts is handed us by the President
of the Bank of Worthipgton:
WoRrH1NGToN, Nov. S, 1888.
EDITOR ADVANCE My attention
has be-n called to a statement in the
Independent, issued Oct. 9th, to the
effect that the Minnesota Loan and In
eestmtut Go. reported for assessment
in 1888 only $48,88O, while the capital
stock is 100000.
Generally, it is unwise to take any no.
tice of false statements, but as an at
tempt was made to array one class of
citizens against another it is suggested
that l make q simple statement of the
facts. The report to the Assessor sworn
to by Geo. .. Moore, Secretary of the
Company, which is on Gle in the office
Of Of the county Auditor, says that May
l, 1888, the Company reported for as.
sessInent:
Real Estate, $69,143 SO
Beaver Greek Blk Stock, $500 90
Personal Property, 2O,1O4 II
Grvenbacks, 1882 %
Total Capital Stock. 100000 90
The Greenbacks are by law exempt
from taxation. hence the Company re-
ported for taxation 1911 ,74S, and pays
taxes on that amount of property in
this and other counties.
The corner lots for which it was said
$1,000 had been offered. we have fire.
qnently endeavored to sell for 81 900 ;
have sometimes asked 81, 2OG for them,
but never received q bid.
The Minnesota Loan and Investment
Co. has never asked for a reduction in
it's assessment. II has several times
asked for an equalization of assessments,
believing that other property was some.
times assessed lower than it onght to be.
