All About Smiths.
Detroit Free Press.

DelIOlG fIce TTeSS.
Nine townships in the United States
are named after Mr.. Smith. Besides
these there are five places named
Smiths.
Of places having Smith as a prefix
there are $50.
Smithville is the most popular of
these names, there being thirty-two
Smithvilles in this little world.
Next comes Smithfeld, of which
there are tWenty-Seven.
There are three Smith landings and
three Smiths ferries to bring the Smiths
to the landings.
Smith has one Basin, where doubtless
Smith washes himself. and it is on the
Champlain canal, in New York state.
Smith has three islands, one grove.
two cross roads and one crossing, five
creeks and cove, two ports and one
point, twelve mills, one valley, three
stations and one river, one ranch, one
fork, one gap, one hill and three fords.
Perhaps the oldest name among the
Smith titled places is Smiths Turnout,
which is in South Carolina. Smiths
Sound is north of Baffin's bay-and so
say we all-Smith's Sound enough.

Extensive BettefmentS proposed
by the Lehigh Valley Railway.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2.-The Lehighi
Valley Railway company is making ex-
tensive improvements at various points
along the line. The company is now
building five piers at its new terminal
at Jersey City, adjoining on 1.-THE north
the new passenger station of the jersey
Central railroad. They will be 600 feet
feet long by seventy-fve feet wide. All
will be covered with corrugated sheet
iron and will have tracks upon them in
order that cars can be run upon floats
at the ends and be carried across the
river to New York. The flats and docks
near the piers have been filled in. The
Lehigh Valley has built double track
road from Roselle to Jersey City, which
has just been opened, and now contem-
plates laying tracks at grade across two
of the principal streets in Jersey City
to enable the line to reach the river.
The company now has the right to the
made land Of Communipaw south OF

L
There was silence for a moment, and
then the unfortunate man who had
spent the money was fiercely ordered
to hand over the dollar.
One of the men, who had been too
busy to attend to the furnishing, then
got his brain into working order, and
said:
''What we must do is to make out a
list of Just what we want, with the prob
able price, and then contribute the total,
and make that answer. The man Sc
lected to do the purchasing must agree
to pay every cent out of his own pocket
that he spends over this amount"
The necessary articles to be purchased
were table linen, crockery, cutlery,
cooking utensils, glassware, brOoms,
brushes, soap, pack of cards, poker
chips, ash receivers, cuspidors. set of
dice. checkers. dominoes, slate and
piece of chalk.
1t was agreed to worry along with the
chairs they had on hand until the sharp
edge of the financial cyclone had worn
away. The gentleman who had given
birth to the recent idea was selected as
the one to spend the money, and 500
was appropriated for the purpose. He
kicked at the Smallness of the sum and
argued that it wasn't fair to let him
spend only 500 while two of the other
fellows had spent $500 each. His friends
were obdurate, however, and he started
out to do the buying.
he bought very fine china that was as
remarkable for it's frailtv as for the ar
ray of gaudy figures upon it; the glass
ware was marked with his private mi
ual, which was afterWard the cause of
some kicking. and everything was nota-
BILE for its ShoWinesS except The imple
ments of sport enumerated, and these
were of the most durable kind that
could be found. 1t was argued that this
was necessary. as they would be used
only at night when all the stores were
closed, and it wouldn't do to risk having
them give out at such time.
A month rolled round before the men
moved into the fiat, ana after the adj
iustment of a kick as to which two
should occupy the folding bed in the
alcove, argument was begun as to the
chances of getting servant One of
the men, who pretended to a thorough
knowledge of the duties of keeping
house, said that the first thing neceS-
sary was the purchase of food, and
moved that a subscription of S25 be
taken up for supplying the cupboard.
After this was done, he said one of
them could run around to the nearest
intelligence Office and get servant.
The money was contributed, and then a
call was made at the grocer's, and every
thing from ham to big jar of jelly
was bought.
The next morning an effort was made
to get a servant. The intelligence
office man was confided in, but he
wouldn't understand the needs of the
young men. He persisted in sending
abound to the house every good-looking
woman who applied for situation. and
In keeping in the background every
elderly woman of plain appearance that
he had on hand.
Patronage was withdrawn from this
man, and application was made to an
other. He expressed willingness to
look somebody up, and the young men
departed.
Then began a curious way of living in

Four voung men, who had grown
weary of hotel and boarding house life,
met in downtown restaurant in New

They told stories of how unhappy they
were. and finally concluded to do as
MANY of their friends had done-hire
fiat, furnish it nicely, and place in it a
servant, not too young and far from
good-looking, who would be a mother
to them.
1t was hard Job looking for a fiat.
for those that suited them were too eX-
pensive, and those that met their ideas
in the matter of cost were not hand
some enough. After three days hard
work the top floor OF ali apartment
house in East Ninth street was secured
at mo thly rental OF $40.
Then the question of furnishing it
was gone into. 1t was agreed that
everything gaudy must be escheWed,
and only plain and comfortable furnl-
ture bought. The most modest of the
young men was invested with power to
perform this part of the work. Five
hundred dollars was given to him, and
in about two hours he reported that he
had spent all the money and wanted at
least $500 more. Here was a state of
things, Five hundred dollars was
thought more than sufficient, and an
explanation was extensively demanded.
A-7little pile Of bills was presented.

After calm consideration of the
state of things, it was clearly seen that
so far the fiat was of no service to any
body, and that the furniture it COLI
