Tho New Ones Rechristined.

After the enjoyment of a Turkish bath, and when reclining on ono of the couches in tho cooling room, a few days since, I asked the attendant, who had given me a more than usually good rubbing, what his name was. He replied, "Jim." "Isn't there but one Jim in the placer" "There couldn't be, sir" said he. But suppose a new man with that name should be employed? Don't such a thing happen oc- casionally:" "Yes; but we would baptize him and give him another name. A new fellow came on yesterday who said his name was James. We grabbed him, took him over to the big plunge and com menced swinging him back and forward for a good souse. He cried out, Don't throw mo, for can't swim When he came up out of the hole he had made in the water and was relieved to find that he could touch bottom with his head clear of the surface, he was saluted with, Y our name is John, and his name is John here. The next John will have to go through the same process and be baptized some thing else. c."-Brooklyn Eagle.

The Power of Dinner.

A distinguished lawyer came out of his private office few days ago and brusquely told a reporter that he did not caro to discuss the private affairs of his clients. He said it was none of the pub- lies business, and then he bounced back into his private office. and slammed the door. It was important that the reporter should get the news, and so, on the strength of past experiences, he called at the lawyers home that night. The lawyer had just finished his dinner, and he came into his parlor, his face beam- ing with geniality and prime cigar in his mouth. He shook the reporters hand, and then talked to him for half an hour, and gave him more information than he had any use for. A light knowl- edge of human nature is sometimes very useful.-New York Sun.

A Great Composer.

George Frederick Handel, although a native of Germany, being born in Halle, Saxony, on Feb. 24, 1885, passed the greater part of his life in England. Even in childhood he sacrificed his hours of play and his meals for the study of Aausic, and at 10 years of age composed a set of sonatas that were not without value. As composer, Handel was great in every style. In his choral works, he throws at an immeasurable distance all who preceded and followed him. Very soon after his arrival in London, in ITO, Handel attracted che attention of Queen Anne. A Te Deum and Jubi- late, composed to celebrate the treaty of Utrecht, gained him pension of e200. Handel died on Good Friday, April IS, 1759, and was buried in Westminster Abbey. The composer gave a perform ance of his own compositions in 1749, by which e500 were realized for the Founding hospital, which institution re- ceived e1, 900 from the annual repetition of this performance during the ten fol lowing years.-Philadelph Times.

How 1t Is Done in Mexico.

'"Like the alcalde of Lagos," Como el alcalde de Lagos, is an expression cur rent throughout a large part of Mexico to denote any trying or ludicrous posi- ton that a man is placed in because both his hands are full. The story runs:
 Once went an alcalde of Lagos to church. And in his right hand he car rie'i his staff of office, and as he entered the church he lifted off and held in his left hand his hat. Then he sought to put tho holy water upon his forehead; but this he could not do. for both his hands were full. Then in while a bold resolve entered his heart, and he plunged his head into the font,
 Before the plaza that is in the midst of the town of Lagos was set in order, as it now is, there was in the middle of it a deep and wide hole. And this hole caused the town council (ayuntamiento) much concern, for they perceived that it was dangerous place, into which the unwary might fall in the dark and be killed or maimed So meeting of the council was called, and it was decided that the hole should be filed And to get earth to fill it hole was dug beside it. And, behold, when it was full there was a new hole, as deep and as wide as that which was filled! Then in the same way did they set about filling the new hole, and again was the same result only now the hole no longer was in the middle of the plaza, but over at the side of it in tho street that goes out toward the north And again they filled it, and SO continued, until at last the hole was far out in tho northern suburb of the town. And there they suffered tho hole | to remain, for there it did no harm | Scribner's Magazine.

TERBURY EVENING DEMOCRAT MONDAY. MARCH 25 lss9
Thought lie Was a Peddler.

A well known lawyer started for his north side homo about dusk one evening last week. He thought he needed exer- else, SO he concluded to walk over. He had with him ladies' work basket, fixed upon high standard, and this he was carrying home to his wife. He struck Dearborn avenue and hastened north at rapid gate. He was looking straight ahead, and after he had gone a few blocks he noticed stylishly dressed lady alight from handsome equipage and run hurriedly up the steps of a house. He thought he noticed her drop something, and Vhen he reached the sidewalk in front of the house where the carriage had stood he looked down and discovered a fat purse. Picking it up he tripped up the steps and rang the door bell, the lady having been admitted be- fore he came up. His ring was answered in a moment by neat maid, whom he asked if the lady of the house was in.
 The lady evidently heard the question, as she stepped at once to the door. He was about to return the pocketbook she had dropped, when she noticed the bas- ket in his hand and blurted out: ''No, we don't want anything" Then she slammed the door in his face. He wanted to explain, but it wounded his pride to De taken for a peddler, and he tucked the pocketbook in his pocket and proceeded on his way home.
 On his way down town in the morning the gentleman stopped again at the lady s house to return the pocketbook. His wife had not been satisfied with the work basket he had brought home with him, and he carried it along to exchange for another.
 It happened that when he rang the bell of the house, the number of which he had carefully noted the day before, the lady herself was in the hall. She hastened to the door and when she saw the man and the basket again she petu- lantly aimed, II told you last night, sir. that We wanted nothing," and for the second time she slammed the door in his countenance This made him hot. When he reached his office he put the pocketbook in a sealed envelope and tucked 1t away in his safe For a whole week afterward the lady advertised hl all of the papers for her lost wealth. At last the lawyer addressed her note, asking her to call at his office. When she came he sat her down, explained all ! the circumstances to her, and then hand ed over her pocketbook It contained l S351. Now it is a safe bet that when a man who looks like canvasser rings | her door bell she will search her pockets before she turns him away.-Chicago Herald.
