The Vast Number of ''Smiths."

Taking into consideration the vast
number Of Smiths extant in the world,
there can be no doubt that the name but
seldom implies relationship. OF straight
Smiths" alone, there are 1,50S mentioned
in the Directory Of 1888; these are all
adults, and it Is reasonably certain that
there is fully an equivalent number Of
children and youths Of the same name, not
mentioned. This would make total of
3,018 Smiths" Then this Is still aug
mented by the variations Of the name
Schmidt, Smyth, Schn,it, ETC., until it il
probable that there are 5000 Of that
ubiquitous family In st. Louis alone. Tho
population Of St. Louis being 400, 900, it ia
evident that about one sixty.sixth Of st.
Louisans arc Smiths.
Tho peculiar part lies in the fact that
it is but extremely seldom, if ever, that
man and woman bearing thst universal
name are married 1 have noticed this
for years, and watched carefully. but I
cannot remember ever having seen the
names coupled together in the item OF
marriage licenses in the newspapers, nor
have / ever heard of couple, both Of
whom bore that name, being united In
wedlock. They certainly marry some
body, for the rarest old maid and old
bachelor is one bearing the widespread
name. Il will ever be mystery why
Smiths do not intermary. At the pres
cnt rate it is but question Of time when
the name viii have conquered the world,
and everybody will be named Smith. -

How a Cabrnan Was Fooled.

The life of a hickman is not always bed
of roses, although be does ride around all
day while others have TO walk. A few
nights ago a veteran "cabby" related this
sad story of mans duplicity. He was hailed
by well dressed gentleman, who inquired
his price by the hour, and as the amount was
satisfactory the fare" jumped into tie car
rlage and was driven to one Of tbs up town
theatres, enjoining the driver TO wait until
his return. At the expiration Of the per-

Why Good Swimmers Drown.

"Why do good swimmers drown in the
seag" was asked of life saver young Ed
OBrien, who has become somewhat famous
along the coast here
II will tell you," he answered. "The men
who are good swimmers, and who drown
while in bathing here, are fresh water SWIM
mers They are good swimmers in smooth
water, but when they tackle the sea they are
no good. A good many, when in the water,
60 out too far to show Of Then when it
comes to swimming back they give out and
go down. These fresh water swimmers have
an idea that they must get back on straight
line. They know nothing about tides or
currents, and they strike out to get back to
shore by the short route instead of finding
out the current and swimming with it. The
first thing they know they get into wave
that twists them all up. They don't know
when to cut through it, and all of sudden
they loose their head, get out of wind, be-
come scared, and then comes the cry for
help. A fresh water swimmer coming to
any beach ought first to study the currents
and tides before he ventures out. No one
should venture out beyond the safety line
unless ne is thoroughly posted. no matter
how good swimmer he is in still water If
he knows the current and the tide thor
oughly he will find it an easy matter to get
back to shore in his own good time"
"What do you first say to a drowning man
when you reach himT'
81 sing out to him as loud as can that
have him safe. II l am in a boat T first
throw him rope. When go for drown
ing man l always think of life for life.
1t is always best to keep drowning man off
from you until you have him quieted down.
If an excited man gets the best of you in the
water the chances are both Of you will be
lost"
What is the first thing saved man will
generally say toyou"
"After he gets out and gets his wits back
again the first thing man generally does is
to smile, shake his head and say That was
a narrow escape, sure.' Then he'll thank me
over and over again, aud if he owned the
world he'd give three-fourths of it to me. A
good many l have saved rewarded me lib
orally, but have helped out some men who
promised me mnch, but never kept their
promises. "-Atlantic City Cor. New York

Exports of Fresh Meat.

Since fresh meat is now transported by
thousands Of tons from North and South
America and Australia to England and
France, it is interesting to examine the
ingenious processes adopted on the ocean
steamers engaged in this business to keep
the meat at a low temperature during the
voyage. The means by which this low
temperature is maintained now consists,
according to French authority, Of ma
chimes for blowing cold air into the meat
storerooms in the hold of the vessel, the
air being cooled simply by expansion.
AS every one knows, the old fashioned
freezing machines employed the expan-
sion Of condensed ammonia gas as q re-
frigerating agent, conveying the cold
current to the place where it was to be
used by means Of glycerine, or some
other liquid not subject to freezing at
ordinary temperatures. By the new
method, the air is cooled by its own ex-
pansion, and then forced directly into the
rooms The air is first drawn into con-
densing cylinder, where 1t Is compressed
under pressure of about fifty pounds to
the square inch. This greatly reduces it's
volume and raises it's temperature to
nearly 900 dogs. F.
The next step to carry of the surplus
heat, which is done by means of current
Of sea water, circulating around the con-
denser, or rather around series Of tubes.
into which the air passes from the con-
denser. To cool it still more, and cause
the deposits of the watary vapor con-
tanned in it, the air next passes into an
other series of tubes, which are exposed
to the current of cold air returning from
the meat storeroom, and is then drawn
into the expansion cylinder. On being
allowed to expand here, the temperature
of the air falls Immediately to about 70
dogs. below zero, F., and the last traces
of moisture are deposited as snow.
Wooden tubes then convey the chilled air
to the storerooms, which It reaches at
temperature Of about zero, F., and after
circulating about the rooms is drawn back
by an aspirating shaft to the refrigerat-
ing machine.
The thermometer in the storerooms
never rises to the freezing point of water,
SO the meat is kept continually frozen
from the day Of its shipment, perhaps at
Melbourne or the La Plata river, until its
arrival in the London docks. where it is
found to be indistinguishable from the
best fresh beef and mutton. The store
rooms are protected against the entrance
of heat by conduction from the outside
by means of double walls and floors,
packed with powdered charcoal.-Boston

ASEIECONFeSseD FORGER

LYNN, Mass, Sept. 12.-J. Colby Drew
walked into Marshal Kings office at the
police station yesterday and gave himself
up, stating that he was a forger to the
amount of $4,000 or $4,000. He has
had charge of financial matters for
w. T. Monroe grocer on Broad
street, and had secured notes in blank
signed by Monroe, and then forged the
names of indorsers and obtained this
money, paying eXhorbitant rates of inter
est. Most of the parties who hold the
paper are Lynn men. rnd include the fol-
lowing: Edward Hefferman, $4,000, VIM.
A. Bachelor, 81, 900; E. 3. Hayes, $4,000;
E. A Dickinson, 81 800; Gilbert l.. Watson,
$1,000; Dan g. Warner, 1000; George A.
Creighton, 81, 600; Keith q Leighton. $500;

$1,000; George A. Warner, $1,000; j. b.
Thomas, $500; Chas. Malloy, $3.50; A. +.
Bartlett, $500: Charles r. Blake, S15.
Drew says that within thirty days 3d.,
600 worth of paper will come due. The
money is all gone, Drew claiming not to
have 81. He has been sporting horse and
buggy, and the general feeling is that
woman is at the bottom of the affair.
Munroe says that he would give Drew six
or eight notes at time, signing his name
to them, ana leaving Drew fill them out
as he saw fit. Munroe says he never knew
what the money was used for or what in
terest was paid. whether per cent week
or l per cent month.

CONVENTIONS IOWA,

WATERLOO, Ia, Sept. 12.-The Iowa
yearly meeting of Friends opened at Oska-
loosa September 4. and will close tomorrow,
after having disposed of a large amount of
business of greatimportance to the ssoiety.
A number of prominent ministers are in
attendance from the east, the Pacific coast
and elsewhere. Among them is Rev. VIM
Allen, who was slave in East Tennessee.
He came to Indiana after his liberation,
learning to read and write after he was 80
years old. He is very efficient minister.
The Iowa conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church was brought to close
at the same place last night, when the
appointments for the year were made
public. Fully 1,500 strangers visited the

DOUGLASS SuGAR MORRIS

DOUGLASS, Sept. - - The Douglass
sugar works commenced operation on the
10th, and accumulated sufficient syrup to
make the first strike last night, resulting
in obtaining 1900 pounds of sucrose
which yields 80 per cent pure sugar on
5000 pounds. They are using about fifty
five tons of cane each twenty-four hours,
and by Saturday will be running 13O tons,
the full capacity of the mill. The works
cost $4,000 and were put up 10y the people
of this town without outside aid. They
adopted the Hughes process and find it
satisfactory. The machinery was put in
by J. 5. Maus, Fred Hensac, a German
experience, having charge of the
sugar making. 1t is home
concern under the management of practical
made in paying quantities from sorghum
sugar cane without assistance from so
called experts The best results so far OBJ
tanned are from some old fashioned cane
which has been grown in this vicinity Tor
the last dozen years. The analysis shows
30 pounds of sugar to the ton of cane
which is looked upon as extraordinary
These works are to be run night and dav
until freezing weather. as they have an
abundance of cane. DIR. Compton, United
States chemist, was here this week CON
sulting with the two government chemists
already here and giving the benefit of his
experiments To the operators of the mill.
Within a week these works will be making
from 1900 to $4,000 pounds OF first class

day morning did much damage as it swept
over Northampton, Nansemond and Nor
folk counties, Va. The corn,
cotton and peanut crops suffered
much. Dispatches from points in
Virginia say that the course of the cyclone
was from south to north. An incessant
downpour of rain attended it. Mr.. E. I.
Bross was fishing in boat in the Black
river. A broken limb OF tree struck him
ank killed him instantly. The streams are
swollen, four inches of rain having fallen in
twenty-fonr hours. In North Carolina the
losses will be severe Streams have risen
and the corn crop has suffered. The
Charleston, Cincinnati & Chicago railroad
