The Name Was 3D."

A funny fact came to light recently at the
registration of birth of a child. The happy
father was asked tie maiden name of his
wife, to which he answered;
"Rose B."
"Well, how do you spell It'll Bee, By, Bey,
or howF'
"Just simply B."
THAT cannot be. is only an initial, not
a name"
at is all the name my wife ever had until
she married me. Neither she nor any of her
family ever had any other name than just B.
neither more nor less"
They could hardly have had less, and an
examination of the records showed that they
had really never had more. Beyond doubt
the B family bear the shortest name in
France-perhaps in the world Only one
other name of equal brevity is known, and
that is the name of a place. About fifteen
miles from Peronne, on the Ham line there
Is a commune known as Y. II has some tive

Or haDgmaD's wages,


In 1852 a general in the French army at
tempted to commit suicide by plunging head
first from a tail building in Paris. He only
succeeded however, in crushing the third
vertebrate of the neck, or, as it is known to
the surgeon, the third cervical vertebrate
When picked up his head fell on his breast, or
rolled from side to side in a manner grotesque
and horrible. To a casual spectator the gen
eral had succeeded in Kidding himself of the
incubus of life. He was carried to a hospital
and placed on a cooling board, an act some
what premature, as subsequent events attest
During the first day and night the breathing
of the patient was almost wholly abdominal
a sign recognized by experts as one portend
Ing approaching dissolution Within three
days, to the surprise of all attendants, the
breathing had become regular and natural,
but consciousness did not wholly return until
. after the end Of the twelfth day. The body
was more or less paTalyzed for six or seven
months, and some Of the limbs, especially the
tips of the fingers, did not regain their nat
ural feeling for over a year. The general
fully recovered in course of time, and was
often twitted by the other officers of the
army, who told him that man that could

How Shy Girl of II offered Herself as
Sacrifice for Her EFiend.

NV heroine, whom we will call Margaret,
was a slim, fair girl of II, shy and retiring to
excess She lived with a young married
couple, Mr. and Mrs Field, and was treated
by them as one Of the family.
One evening Mrs Field was out driving
with friend, and, as they were passing a
Mrs Smiths house, a slanderous report that
was current in this neighborhood concerning
this Mrs. Smith came into Mrs. Fields mind,
and she carelessly repeated it to her friend in
che ordinary conversational tone Mrs. Smith
happened to be out in her garden, and, owing
to the lateness of the hour and to the shrub
berry, she was not seen by the ladies in the
carriage.
She overheard greater part of what they
were saying. Boiling with anger, she sent
word early next morning to Mr.. Field that
his wife had spread an evil story about her,
end that she intended to have the matter
taken into court.
The first thing Margaret heard on coming
from her room that morning was the bitter
sobbing of Mrs. Field She inquired the
cause and was overwhelmed to learn the dire
full effects that would follow if Mrs. Smith
persisted in her determination TO take the af
fair to court, for Mr. Field was already
heavily in debt, having got into an extensive
business, and if he were forced to go to law
about this difficulty his prospects might be
ruined
Then this brave little girl came to the res
cue. As it was late in the evening she said
Mrs. Smith had probably only recognized the
horse and carriage and not Mrs. Field, and
she, Margaret, would bear the burden, and
say it was she who had uttered the SANDER. If
the matter should then be carried to court
there was no one but herself to suffer, and,
although the thought of staining her fair
reputation was very bitter, she was deter
mined to take the blame upon herself sooner
than see her friends suffer so greatly
At first they would not hear of it, but she
finally succeeded in having her own way, and
then, doRning hat, started at once for Mrs.
Smiths home. She explained to shat lady
that she and not Mrs. Field was the one to
bear the blame, but that she was very sorry,
and that the report should go no further as
far as lay in her power to prevent it, and at
last begged that lady to forgive and forget.
And Mrs. Smith did so, finding it was only
Margaret, instead of Mrs. Field, for whom
she had always entertained violent dislike
