There's Something in a Name.

When one of the finest lake barges of the
build of few years ago was about to be
launched, one of her owners was told that the
boat would be christened the Megalosauras.
de protested against the name, basing his
objections on the well known tendency of
sailors to shorten such long appellations.
His reasoning prevailed.
Senator Palmer being of the party that
discussed vessel nomenclature on this occa-
sion, was asked by Capt. Westcott to suggest
short, expressive name for a new craft. e'I
will, )" said he, ''call her the Bum
This short, expressive appellation induced
the reflection that the Morse or Finnish
legends contained names suitable for lake
craft, and there was instanced the poem
kalevala, dealing with the mythology of the
Firms. In their earlier days on the shores of
the Baltic, that people believed that there
was race of demigods who ruled objects in
nature. There was Tapio, who ruled the
forest; Anti, the lakes and rivers: Tuoni, the
realms of death. There were a sufficiency of
Alternative names to suit the owners of fleets,
such as Kyllikki, the beautiful maiden who
scorned the addresses of Kauna; Kullervo.
the strong and courageous youth, Kaleva
and Kaatrakoski.
Senator Palmer said that Persian legends
and poems abounded with pleasing names.
Nourmahal, 'the light of the harem," and
Namouna, the enchantress, had been appro-
prlated by the yachtsmen of the Atlantic.
There was Bendemeer, Chilminar, Kauze-
room, Cadessia and Azab. He was asked if
he would adopt Feramorz, Fadiadeen and
Mokanna, from Moore's "Lalla Rookh, )" and
answered that he would not hesitate because
they were distinctive and unhackney ed.
There were plenty of others, Zelica, Mirzala,
Zamara, Peri, Zaraph, Mahadi, Camadeva,
Zelnzem and Selama; and Israfil, who, the
legend said, had the most melodious voice
of all Gods creatures.-Cor. Detroit Free

That Horse Tanning Secret.

Apropos of "Horse Whispering" a CORE
spondent points out that the mystery is very
simply explained by Borrow. Here are his
words in the 'Romany Rye" az knew a cob
in Ireland that could be driven to a state of
kicking madness by particular word used by
particular person in particular tone: but
that word was connected with a very painful
operation which had been performed upon
him by that individual, who had frequently
employed it at a certain period while the ami
NAL had been under his treatment. The same
cob could be soOthed in moment by another
word used by the same individual in a very
different kind of tone-the word Edeaeh-
blaSda,' or sweet tasted. Some time after the
operation, while the cob was yet under his
hanGls, the fellow-who was what the Irish
call fairy smith-had done all he could to
soOthe the creature, and had at last succeeded
by giving it gingerbread buttons, of which
the cob became passionately fond Invari-
ably, however, before giving it a button he
said 'Deaghblasda,' with which word the cob
by degrees associated an idea of unmixed en-
joyment So, if he could rouse the cob to
madness by the word which recalled the tor
ture to its remembrance, he could easily
soothe it by the other word, which the cob
knew would be instantly followed by the
button, which the smith never failed to give
him after using the word 'deaghblasda. '"-St.

CONCERNING THE BEAN QUESTION.

Recipes from a Region Where Beans Can
Never BE Cooked.
''What is your recipe for baking beans!"
The question was asked of several inGivid-
uals of extended experience.
Landlord Allen, of the Hotel Hamilton,
who sat over against the big and finely
painted screen that adOrns his dining room,
and bears an excellent hkeuess of that lover
of good things, Louis Leib, in the makeup of
Falstaf, had no decided opinion as to baking
beans, bat his former business partner who
was with him, said: 81 wouldn't bake them
1 would fry them. Boil them three or four
hours, then drain them, put them in a spider
with salt pork and fry them to a rich
brown"
John Smelling, the warm personal friend of
Senator Malone, said: "Down south they
have habit of cooking the beans according
to the approved method and then MASKING
them. / am fond of beans, but I did not
learn how to bake them until l came here.
l soak them until they become SOFT put them
in an earthen jar with little pork, season
with pepper and salt, turn a little molasses
on the top of them, put the jar in the oven
and let the beans bake. 1 always cook them
myself, and 1 imagine I know how to do it
well"
81 have not yet become thoroughly ac-
Quainted with the baked bean" said Bill Nye.
up in Laramie, where held Office baked
beans were unobtainable at any price The
altitude OF Laramie, like the prices that rule
there, Is very high, and it was found impos-
sible to boil beans there with any degree of
success, let alone baking them The only
way they could be cooked was to put a little
saleratus in the water in which they were
boiling, but under the best conditions the
beans are liable to be about as hard and I'M
palatable marbles"
They have tradition in Germany that
beans can only be properly cooked when
soaked III clear spring water. The host OF
Helms restaurant on Twenty-seventh street
whose recipe did not materially differ from
that OF the other epicures, was very particu-
lar as to the manner that they should be
soaked and prepared before baking. He soaks
them about four hours and then bakes them
In dripping pan with little piece of scored
pork. Mr.. Hill, the theatrical manager. who
Is a typical Yankee and an adept at baking
beans, believes that they should be soaked or
parboiled, drained and then put in a sheet
iron box. A hole in the ground should be
followed out and a fire built in it. When the
burning has gone on long enough to make
the desired degree of heat remove the brands
put In the box of beans with piece of pork
on top of it, cover up the box and let the con-
tents gradually but surely reach the desired
degree of perfection.-New York Evening

A VIOLET.

A violet dewy and dainty and blue,
With the delicate freshness of heavens own hue,
And my love, sweet love, with her ripe, red lips
Sweeter than flowers where the wild bee sips,
Pressed long kiss the petals fair.
To gladden. my soul as left her there
Keep it. dear love, and though far away,
1t will tell what my lips refuse to say"
So l kept it for many long, long Iay,
keep it and will Away,
For withered and dead, its dainty
Still tells story of love most true,
Tells me the story love to hear
OF the life that has grown SO heavenly dear,
And the old, old tale grows tireSome, never,
For the hand that gave it is mine forever

When Potatoes Are Done

Jessup Whitehead, the gastronomic writer,

potatoes are done is this: When first thrown
into the fat they sink; when done they rise
and float. After that it is only question of
color when they should be taken out.-BostoD

Speaking of curious advertising, they
tell that a certain fashionable pastor was

gatherings and other matters relating to
the congregation, but along with them
are always communications from other
churches, and these commonly consist Of
printed circulars. After reading out n

started with a neatly printed page that
began with a %scriptural quotation about
longevity, and proceeded with an argu-

of attaining old age. He is a good elo-

in good style. Then he furtively glanced
down toward the bottom Of the page and
found that The reading matter led into an

Are we a civilized people1 OF course
the answer depends upon the definition
that is given to civilization. Judging by
our country schoolhouses there is a
chance for several degrees of advance
before we reach high civilization. Gar
den and Forest has set out to reform our
schoolhouse surrounding. In the west
this reform is far less needed than In the
east. But If there be anywhere hideous

to be placed in a snug little park, sur
rounded by abundant shade. A child's

ers, brooks, hills and valleys and other
objects in nature. These are the real
character builders. If you wish the

A Chinese husband may divorce his
wife for a number of causes-incompati-
bility, theft, drunkenness, disobedience,
adultery or failure in duties toward hus-
band or his parents. The process is very
simple. The husband calls together his
relatives and presents the case to them
in the presence Of his WIFE. The conf
.pany vote on the question. II the ground
for divorce is sufficient in their eyes the
man and woman sign papers of separa-
ton by dipping their fingers in ink and
making a mark at the foot of the agree
ment. If the divorced wife has parents
or near relatives she goes and lives with
themi If not, she is sold by the husband
to a sort of matrimonial agent, who
finds for her another husband or resells
her to the keepers of low houses. Asec-
ond or third wife is sometimes simply
turned into the street by her husband
without formal process Of divorce.-New

Up to the fifteenth year most young
people require ten hours, and till the
twentieth nine hours. After that age
every one finds out how much he or she
requires, though as a general rule, at
least six or eight hours are necessary.
Eight hours sleep will prevent more
arrangements, however, than
any medicines can cure. During growth
there must be ample sleep if the brain is
to develop to its full extent, and the
more nervous, excitable or precocious a
child is, the longer sleep should 1t get If
its intellectual progress is not to come to
a premature standstill or its life to be cut
short at an early age.-Chicago Journal.
