rHAcKERAY,s NOMENCLATURE
How the Great Novelist Hit Upon
Names for His Characters.

Macmillan's Magazine: Thackeray's
faculty for abusive nomenclature ap-
peared early, but not in it's best or most
matured condition. 1t is at first a little
rudimentary. Yellowplush for q foot
man, Deuceace for a gambler, Round
hand for an accountant, though amusing
enough are not exactly masterpieces, and
are quite of the old school. But their
great author developed them, even as
he developed the other ancient and
somewhat i~nfantine trick of mis-.
spelling into something truly sublime.
You may find examples in all stages
throughout his WORKS, in the most unex-
pected places as well rs in the most ex-
pected, and sometimes arranged with a
symmetrical and systematic whimsicality
which is to be found nowhere else. Like
certain great artists in other arts he
makes his names in sets-beautiful names
which lesser men would fondly preserve
and repeat throughout e whole book,
while this prodigal throws off a whole
series of them for a mere parenthesis.
Such is Lady Crackenbury. Mrs. Chip
penham and Nine. de la Cruchecasse. the
French secretary's Wife" where Mrs.
Chippenham, thrown in with careless
ease between the others, is what IN en
thusiastic Freedman of 1880 would have
called pyrmidal. Who but Thackeray
would have taken the trouble or spared
the genius to make Thistlewood the fam.
lily name of the house of Bareacres. or
have flung away the Count o Spring

BLOWN FROM A GUN.
The Terrible Punishment of a Regi-
ment OF Sepoy Mutineers.

menu Oh SepOy Mut1neerS
During the Sepoy rebellion of 1878
many of the mutineers were blown away
from the guns. 1t was a terrible punish
ment, says Hayes. in his History of the
Scpoy War" n which had been in
ticted before at the first mu,iny OF the
Bengal army in 1854. A battalion of Sc
poys had seized and imprisoned its En-.
glish officers and vowed that it would
serve no more. A strong hand arrested
the mutiny at its beginning. Twenty
four Sepoys were tried by a drumhead
court-martial, found guilty, and sen
fenced to be blown away from the can.
non.
On the day of the execution the troops
were drawn up, English and Scpoys, the
guns were loaded, and the prisoners led
forth to suffer the terrible penalty.
The word of command was given for
the first four criminals to be tied up to
the muzzles of the guns. AS the men
were being bound tour tall, stately grena,
diers stepped forward from among the
condemned Sepoys, saluted the com
mander, Maj. Hector Monro, chief of the
Bengal Amy, and asked that as they had
always held the post of honor in life they
might be given the precedence in death,
as it was their due. The request was
granted. The grenadiers were tied to
the guns and blown 10 pieces.
a murmur ran through the Sepoy
battalions, who greatly outnumbered the
English troops, and it seemed as if they
were about to rescue their companions,
the twenty condemned men.
The officers of the native regime; Is ap-
preached Munro and told him that their
men were not 10 be trusted, as they had
determined not to permit the execution
to proceed. The chief knew that on the
issue of that parade for execution de-
pended the fate of the Bengal army.
The English troops were few and there
was scarcely a man among them not
moved to ears by the fearful death of
the four grenadiers. But the commander
know they could be trusted 10 defend the
guns, which, turned upon the Sepoys,
would defeat any attempt to rescue their
comrades.
Maj. Munro closed the English on to
The battery-thc g%renadiers on one side,
the marines on the other and loaded the
pieces with grape. Then he sent the
Sepoy officers back to their battalion and
gave the native regiments the word of
command, Ground arms!"
They knew it would be madness to dis.
obey IN presence of the Iolded guns and
laid down their arms.
Fright about face, Forward-march!'
was the next command.
The Sepoys marched a distance from
their grounded arms, and the English
soldiers. with guns, took ground on the
intervening space.
The danger had passed away. The
native troops were at Munro's mercy,
and the execution went on 10 its dread
full close. The sacrifice of q few lives
saved thousands.

All plants and trees consume water in
large quantities. Sir John Laws discovered
that an acre of barley will take up l,094
tons of water in two days. Trees and
plants are composed more largely OF water
than any other substance. The branch of q
tree will lose nine-tenths of its weight by
drying.

a ce. tainty that she can be replaced with
something bsIter.
1t is just as proper to keep rich milk
separate from that of an inferior quality
and secure for it an extra price as 1t is to
assort other articles on the farm. If dairy

Strengthening Flower Stems.

Not a few horiculturists are greatly
bothered with tie feebleness and slender
ness of the stems of certain flowers, says a
writer in the Washington Star Several
varieties of roses, fuschias and other tall
gro wing plants produce flowers too large
and heavy for the frail stems on which
they grow. Even when protected from
every breath of wind that nj ght destroy
them, they are often unable to hold up their
Towering heads until after the blooming
period. The only solution to this difficulty
has been, for many years, to take the stems
up, running a green stick up to the very
edge of the flower and tying it to it. The
beauty and grace illness of the plants are
naturally disfgured by such artificial sup
ports, and many a flower grower has wished
that nature had given the delicate stems
little more strength.
Of late various fertilizers, containing diff
ferent mineral substances, have been fed to
the flowers, with the hope of strengthening
their stalks. 1t is evident that such fer
tlllzer can be manufactured The best thing
so far that has been experimental with IS
the sulphate of iron. If the plants are
watered with tlis solution when the buds
are partly grown the feeble stems will b3
made 50 rigid that they can support the
beautiful flowers without be lding The
La France rose especially produces a beau
tlful flower, which is often found on the
summit of a stem too weak to support it,
The sulphate Of iron acts well and effect
lively when applied to this plant, and the
stem becomes 50 strong that the expanding
flower gains depth and beauty of color that
will never be found on the weak, dropping
stalks.
The solution can be used in many other
cases with the same excellent results. Plants
are seldom if ever injured with the applica-
ton, although large doses have been applied
more than once. Plants growing in heavy
soil should have stronger solution applied
to them than those growing in light soil.
Plants that have been injured by the cold
will often revive when watered with a
strong solution of ulphlte of iron. Fuschias
and roses that are put back in their growth
by cold will often grow strong nd vigor-
GUS under this treatment, and the Il overs be
of exceptional brilliancy in color and the
shoots unusually strong and vigorous. The
French were the first to use this application
to any purpose, ID now it is used with con-
siderable success in the flower gardens all
over France. Rose bushes and 9th 4r plants
put on exhibition, or growing in public
places, should be watered with this solution,
as well as those in private grounds, for. be-
sides strengthening tie stems Of the plants,
the beauty of the flowers is also enhanced.

Work Deliberately.

There are some things which must be
done in hurry or not at all, says the
Manufacturer and Builder. Catching a flea
is one of the est examples apropos of this.
But, as rule, it is safe to say the man or
woman who works deliberately accom-
pllsheS the most. The deliberate worker is
the thoughtful worker, with whom the
habit Of system has become second nature
Any one may cultivate it who will take the
trouble to try, and the most ulsystematic,
spasmodic worker will realize with amaze
ment how easy it is to get through an al
lotted task in half the time it formerly re-
quired, by planning it all out before enter
ing the Office, workshop or kitchen.
The hurried WORKER is one who fancies he
is an uncommonly busy man. True, he
is, so is the man who tries to bale out a
leaky boat with a crownless hat, and in
proportion to the energy expended, very
often the oGe accomplishes about as much
as the other Tne busiest men we have
known were those who never seemed to be
in a hurry and they accomplished more in
a given time and were less worn out when
their work was done than many who &C
complsh half as much and almost ruptured
themselves in doing it.
Think of your work before beginning it,
then go at it deliberately. 1t will save wear
and tear of nerve and muscle, you will &C.
complish more, and what you do will be
better DONE

any in the world in every natural advan-
tage for successful dairying and butter
making.
The great impeachment which has OBJ
structed the advance of the dairy in the
south has been general ignorance of
the possibilities of success, and lack of ex-
pertinent in modern methods. but in the
past few years there has been a great
change actively wo. king, and a creamery
started here and there in the south has Gre
ated general interest. by proving that, uu-
der modern methods of working, the
creamery is no longer a subject of possibili-
ties, but is being operated with complete
success ana with satisfactory profit.
One Of the special features of the inaug-
uration of the creamery in the south is the
readiness with which the farmers are in
creasing their herds with high bred cows
and the impetus given to the breeding of
fine cattle in all good dairy sections
where creamery has been started.
Another feature of note is the adoption in
that section of the most approved moderl
machinery, and the employment in many
sections of the most competent creamery
builders. ana the most expert operatives
and butter makers from the northern dairy
states.
1t may be supposed that the southern
states are lacking in pasture lands suitable
for successful dairying, ami upon general
knowledge of the eltlre states this SUPPOSE
ton seems plausible, but it is far from be-
ing fact, for all of the states named have
large ranges of finest pasture lands, well
watered with purest water, and with an
equable climate better adapted to year
around dairying than the more northern
sections.
We hail the dairy development in the
south without any fear of overpro1uction
in America, for the production of butter in
America does not keep pace with the in
crease in consumption and population, and
there is room for more fine butter; aud
when we note that il 1888, the export of
American butter was only 2-thirds Of l per
cent. in dollars of the entire American pro-
duction i'll value, we advocate the active
| development of every new dairy section
until we have an oversupply of fine butter
at moderate prices for our own people, and
a surplus of at least per cent. of our
American crop to send abroad to feed the
| hungry foreigners.
