Her Bearer Name.

The teachers of kindergartens have
many amusing stories to tell of their
little pupils, but it is seldom they meet
exactly the sort Of difficulty which
lately confronted pretty and sweet
young teacher in suburban school.
Harold, aged years, went to Miss
Brown after school one day, and said,
"Miss Brown, may I call you Helen ?"
"Why, Harold" she replied, after a
moments surprised hesitation, "do you
know any little boys as young as you
are who call young ladies as old as I am
by their first names?
"No'm," said Harold, very reluc-
family.
aThen think, dear, you had better
call me Miss Brown just as all the
other little boys and girls do, or else
they might think it was rather queer.
"Yes'm," he assented, with sigh,
and then, with his most winning smile,
he pleaded, shut. Miss Brown, may
think of you as 'Helen'?"

Can Now Re Divided.

The Constitution provided that when
the United States Senators met for the
first time in 1889, they should be di.
vided "as equally as may be" into three
classes, the terms of which should ex-
pire in two, four and six years, respect
lively. In order to have an exact divi-
sion the number Of Senators had to be
divided by three. This was not the
case at the first session and has rarely
happened since. In 1859, upon the ad-
mission of Oregon, there were 66 Sena-
tors, but the Southern members left at
the beginning of the war and broke up
the combination. Had they remained
in, there could have been an exact di-
vision upon the admission of Nevada, as
the thirty-sixth State, in 1864. The
Southern States again had represen-
ton after the war, but Nebraska came
in as the thirty-seventh State. in 1867,
and Colorado as the thirty-eighth, in
1876, still making on equal division inn
possible.
Such division can be made now for
the first time in 81 years. The admis-
sion Of Montana made the number Of
States 40 and the number Of Senators
81. A division can therefore be made
into three classes Of 2S Senators each,
whose terms expire in 1891, 1898 and
1895.

tenderly on the bed. "Thank you,

"On the evils of Dancing" and calling

ATLAS, of Libya, is said to have dis
covered the use of globes, and Greek
and Roman winters made several allu-
sions to them. The celestial preceded
the terrestrial globe by many centu-
ries. The Oldest globe i'll existence,
dating from 1910, is now at Florence,
and, though less than eight inches in
diameter, gives LOIS stars. Five me-
tallic globes made by the Arabian as
tronomers in the thirteenth century are
still preserved, one belonging to the
British Royal Astronomical Society.
The terrestrial globe appears to date
from 1892. The first map on which
America appears was found among the
papers of Leonardo de Vinci at Wind
sor castle, and, as it tis drawn in eight
cores, it seems to have been intended as
globe. The new terrestrial globe of
interest was that completed by Merca-
tor in 1541, having diameter of six
teen inches. Various others succeeded,
until in 1892 Mollyneux constructed
several enlarged and improved globes
twenty-six inches in diameter, differing
little from modern globes except in
geography. One of these still remains
in the library of the Middle temple,
London. About the time Mollyneux's
work was done, Hues' Treatise on the
Globes" was published, in Latin, and
quickly went through many editions
and translations. Ithas been reprinted
in English.

The horses in Norway have very
sensible way of taking their food.
They have bucket of water put down
beside their allowance of hay. 1t is in
terestiDg to see with what relish they
take sip of one and a mouthful of the
other alternately, sometimes only moist
ening their mouths, just as rational
being would do while eating dinner of
such dry food. A broken-winded horse
is scarcely ever seen in Norway, and the
question is if the mode of feeding has
not something to do with the preserva-
tion Of the animals respiratory organs.

CHINESE doctors are very particular
about the distinction being very strictly
kept up between physicians and sur
geons, and would not trespass on one
ancther's ground for the world; but
this delicacy Of feeling has rather dis.
astrous effect on the patients pocket
sometimes. A Chinese gentleman was
struck by an arrow, which remained
fast in his body. A surgeon was sent
for. and, modestly requesting his fee
should be paid in advance, he broke of
the protruding bit Of arrow, leaving the
point imbedded in the wretched mans
body. He refused to extract it, because,
he said, medical etiquette forbids it;
the case is clearly one for physician,
since the arrow is inside the body!

the same zest which characterized their
efforts in youthful days. Yet nothing 20
them is so pleasant as to gather together
and relate the experiences of their indi-
vidual folIies aud noble ambitions.
Among the most prominent members of
the club are Governor Leon Albeit, A. A.
Bedell, Colonel William Taylor, Th0nias
Jordan, William Barriklow. Charles Al

mony existing among the members. the
shades of whose political opinions vary in
