A student at New Jersey militia
ry institute, whose home is in Cuba,
was deeply interested by the first
snow storm which he saw this winter.
He spent considerable time out doors
and rolled six snow balls and placed
them in his trunk, intending to take
them home with him next vacation.
When he found a pool of water in
his trunk he mourntulIy exclaimed ;
"My feather balls are all gone"

Ex-senator Thurman, in his speech
in the Ohio tally-sheet case, the 9TH
er day, said he knew no politics
where the punishment of crime was
involved, and he would be ashamed
to call himself Democrat it he al
lowed his politics to shield a crime.
The old Romans utterances show
him to be a genuine Democrat. He
has carried his politics into the case
in question, tor Democracy means,
among other things, the relentless
exposure and punishment of public
enemies, regardless Of party consid-
atoms.

The Matter of Names and Titles.

The latest fad is for the woman to re-
tain her family name after marriage in
stead Of taking tfat of her husband.
Every woman has a perfect right TO do
this if she wants to, because there is no
law compelling her to adopt that of the
man she marries. The style has been
started anew by some of the stronger
minded English women. This alone is
sufficient to make it the proper thing for
AnSlo-Americans In England, however.
it is necessary for the woman to advertise
the fact that she is going to retain her
maiden name. IN this country & man
may take his wife's name instead of her
taking his, but it would probably be bet
ter to have the change legalized by
count or legislature in order to prevent
any trouble in relation to property or in
heritances.
Wouldn't it be better to call men and
women By their proper names? The
Quakers do so, and there is nothing often
sive nor suggestive of undue familiarity
about it. They do so from principle
rather than to be odd They say: Call
no man master" Mister is but another
term for master, and was originally used
by common people when addressing their
superiors, or those whom they served.
As people we are opposed to titles sug-
gestive OF social rank. Our term Mrs
is merely a form Of the English term mis-
tresS, which was and is now an undesir-
able title when used in certain connec.
tons. Usage has changed this somewhat.
yet 1t Is an unnecessary prefix TO the
name of lady.-Pitusburg Commercial
Gazette.

A travelling medicine van stopped in the
fashionable suburb Of Stapleton. 1t was
equipped with lecturer, comic vocalist, a
violin player and an actress. The charlatan
himself made what he called a scientific
medical address, the point of which was that
the sure way to be cured of anything what
ever was to buy bottle of his wonderful
panacea. The singer and the fiddler gathered
the crowd for him. and held it by songs and
playing whenever his oratory lost its grip on
their attention. The actress was not osten-
sibly part of the show. She pla yed diff
cult and essential role In the gulse Of a

in front of the gorgeous wagon The quack
set screen around her for several minutes,
in the pretence that he was applying his mi
raculous lotion to her rheumatic leg. When
she was disclosed with flourish to the gaze

we didn't know it As we were scattered all
over an acre Or two, our little company, and
they galloped back right through Us, we had

An Far for Music.

4 fine ear for music is no rarity, vet
peculiarities are occasionally noticed that
attract attention. 1t is said that expert
musical conductors can tell which one of
thirty or forty instruments should come
in at given points in orchestral work, or
in minute technicalities who is wrong.
Ability to name a keynote is also some.
times noticed; that is, some people. on
hearing chord upon piano or organ, can
tell without seeing the instrument or
player, what key has been struck, or
what is the signature of a chord or con-
certed piece. This is quite rare but
more peculiar faculty is sometimes ex-
hibited. Some time ago two people
were walking near railroad crossing, in
the evening. The man had at one time
been a switchman on the railroad. His
companion said as train was heard ap-
preaching:
is that the Chicago EXPRESS"
No." he answered, that wildcat,
with engine 1885,
How do you knowa"
Il know by the sound of her bell"
His companion was skeptical, so he
said:
Now, you stand here till that train
comes in sight, and see if I'm not right"
And sure enough a minute later light
engine, No. 236, passed under the electric
light at the crossing, tolling her bell
meanwhile.
II learned to do that when / was
switching nights" the man explained.
Il had thirty trains to let into the train
house between p. m. and morning.
There Were nine tracks for them to go in
on, and l learned to know which was
switch-with a srnile-by the tone Of
their BELLS
Such faculty is a rare one, and can
not be acquired where it does not exist,
but can be greatly cultivated by its fortu-
nate possessor.-Springfeld Union.
