Legalized Mechanics.

Nicknames are not likely to 60 out of fash
ion so long as human nature is what it is.
Schoolboys will nickname each other, cole
gians will nickname their professors, and sol
diers will speak of their commanders as
Little Mac, !" "Uncle Billy" Fighting joe"
or what not. In these days, however, it is
not customary to spread such titles on the
official records as was formerly the habit, &C
cording to the author Of the antiquities Of
Long Island"
In 1914, in the Dutch records, we haveJohn
Petersen, alias Friend John. In the Newton
purchase from the Indians, dated in 1856, one
of the boundaries is "by Dutchman's land
called Hans the Boore," and in the Bushwick
patent, dated Oct. u, 1867, one of the boun-
diaries is "John the Swede's meadow" In 1895,
in the Kings county records, man is named
living at Gowanus as "Tunis the Fisher"
The common council Of New York in 1851
ordered fish to be brought into the dock
''over against the city hall, or the house that
Long Mary formerly lived in, and in the
same year an order was passed that Top
Knot Betty and her children be provided for
as objects Of charity"
| The explanation of this custom in many
cases was that the persons in question either
had no family names or had forgotten them,
so that the use of their generally accepted
| nicknames became a necessity.
So numerous were the Smiths living upon
Long Island that it was thought necessary to
distinguish the various original families by
some peculiar name. Thus we have the Rock
Smiths, the Blue Smiths, the Bull Smiths and
the Weight Smiths.-Youth's Companion.

People Who Faint.

Women faint much more frequently than
men do, and young women than older ones
Yet old women do faint, and fainting fit is
more dangerous with them than with the
others; and even strong men now and then
succumb to the same weakness. Of course
where there is disease Of the heart occasion
ing the phenomena Of fainting it has no respect
of age or sex or person. In cases Of what is
known as fatty degeneration of the heart, or
as result of profuse hemorrhage, fainting be-
comes invested with great danger, and the
event may even be fatal, the subject never
coming out of the state of syncope But in
most instances fainting is a merely functional
affair, implying nothing serious beyond the
moment; in fact, being more of relief than
otherwise, and more injurious-by means Of
the fright it gives them-to others than it is
to- the patient.-New Orleans Picayune

Refreshments for Tennis PLAYERS,

The latest novelty on the tennis lawn is a
wheeled table. The invention naturally fol-
thing light to eat to the players after few
games had been played. To get the things
necessary to the lawn required the waiter to
make several trips. With tea wagon but
one trip is necessary. The vehicle has wheels
about the size of those on baby carriage.
They are made Of steel, with rubber tires like
the wheels of bicycle. Shackle springs rise
above the wheels to support a rectangular
tray, perhaps two feet by three and half
feet large The tray is made of either papier
mache polished birch, oak or mahogany 10

Novel Arguments.

An English physician advances two argu-
ments against the establishment of free libra
ries, one, at least, of which certainly has
the merit of novelty. The first plea urged is
that the germs of disease are apt to be con-
veyed in books that are circulated without
restriction. This possibility will, of course, be
granted, though the probability of much dam
ger therefrom is another question. But the
second argument is singular one. 1t is that
free libraries encourage men who have been
working all day to pass their evenings in
doors, where the atmosphere is gas heated
and presumably vitiated From this it is evil
dent that the founders of many free libraries
have been mistaken in their ideas, and that
instead Of furnishing the means for spending
evenings profitably and pleasantly they have
been hurrying those whom they wished to
benefit to the grave.-San Francisco Chron-
icle

Only a Case Of Toothache.

There were two young people in the res
taurant the other EVENING" young gentle
man and young lady The young lady was
leaning her elbow on the table and her dim
pied chin was supported by her hand. She
was looking at him with intense earnestness,
and the emotion was too deep for words,
apparently. l thought it was touching; and
that it must be sweet to have girl look at
you like that even if it was in restaurant
where other people were eating practical din
ners. Then heard him say;
"We'n get some laudanum as we pass the
drug store and put it in it."
Then | knew it was the toothache, but to
the sympathetic observer it looked like I'M
concealable love.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Aside from her editorial and her home life,
Mrs Sangster has moreover been active in
many works of benevolence and religion.
Her character, as is evidenced by her writ
ings, is strongly religious, and her piety is OF
a most active kind. She has been for years
the corresponding secretary of the woman's
board of the church of which she is menu
Der, and has by her letters and personal con
tributions aided materially in the work Of
the missionaries Of that church in foreign
lands. She is also an active working MEM
Der in more than one well known literary
organization, and being an indefatigable cor
respondent, is valued personal friend OF
nearly all the literary women Of the highest
type in America.
This brief sketch of woman who has
achieved q success rare among literary
women is decidedly incomplete and made
ouate if it does not indicate that Mrs. Sang
ster Is a typical "home body" While she Is
not a rich woman she has been able to sur
round herself with all the comforts and
many of the great luxuries of life, and her
library, in which she does much of her work,
is well fi4ed with the choicest books and pict-
ures. Nor is the rest Of the home subor-
dinated to literature.
Not only in the library and in the nursery
does the skill of the intelligent woman show
itself, but in the kitchen Mrs. Sangster is
benig nant goddess, capable and deft Those
favored guests whom she receives never for
get the choice treats which she will at times
prepare for them with her own hands, and
none depart without recognizing that she
adorns home as gracefully and well as she
does an editorial chair Beloved and trusted
BY all who have the privilege of knowing
her, she is rounding out life Of rare useful
noe and beauty. FAIEs-CURTIa.

told us dwelt woman who had been mar
