The Family Names OF Women.

There Is a lawyer who does a great
deal Of real-estate conveyanciDg one of
the chief whose grievances in life is
the scant respect that women show to-
ward their names. The fact that a
certain alteration takes place in the
name al marriago destroys, so he
claims, whate; er regard a woman might
be expected to pay to an exact render
ing, and the fact that any legal signiti-
canoe a in any case attach to the
form seems to be quite beyond the
grasp of the average feminine brain.
If a girl baby is christened Elizabeth
she will sign herself when called on to
put her name to a deed after she is
grown. Lizzie, Lisa, Elise, Lisbet. or
Lisbeth, according to which diminutive
happens to be her favorite for the year,
and will omit her middle name, give il
in full, or by initial. or sign instead OF
her own her husbands name, accord
ing to her sweet liking. The task of
the lawyer who has to trace up half q
dozen Of these signatures TO make sure
that they all refer to the same person
is not calculated to make easy the task
of his wife who has to soothe his ruffied
temper with a good dinner. That the
married woman should in all eases re-
tain her own family name, preceding il
by her given name and following il
with her husbands family name is the
lawyers plea if he is to be saved from
insanity. Frances Folsom Cleveland,
Julia Dent Grant. Louise Chandler
Moulton, Julia Ward Howe, Ella
Wheeler Wilcox, and others set in this
respect a good example.-N. Y. Mail.

r N AND EVENING.
The Rise Of the Evening Paper and De-
cline of the Morning Issue.


cline of the Morning Issue.
The past decade has witnessed many
changes in journalism, says the Keokuk
Constitution Democrat. Until a few
years ago the morning papers had things
pretty much their own way, and the
impression prevailed both on the part
the public and newspaper men them
selves, that the morning issue was the
only profitable newspaper enterprise.
Hence newspaper men OF ability pre-
ferred to engage in morning work,
while the evening field was either neg
lected or in the hands Of men who
failed to realize what their opportuni-
ties we're. The proprietors Of the
morning papers did about as they
pleased. There was but little opposi-
ton to affect their prosperity.
They charged what they pleased and
were never noted for liberality in
anything. Whether the occasion was
public, private or charitable, the amount
Of money in il was the one thing essen
tial. OF course there were exceptions
to this rule. AS time passed it dawned
upon the mindsof the publishersOf afew
tNOhlHE PAPERS NAV lnc1 hdu bNNh GOV
ing their opportunities, and that the
field OF the evening newspaper was by
far the more preferable. The success
OF the few gave hope TO the many, and
today the growth and strength Of the
evening newspapers all over the coun-
try Is phenomenal. Each recurring
year finds the evening paper a more i'm
portant factor in the journalistic field.
II 49,. aa-1sa- 12wa ~ -a.nAn ~ lspnirnd
calculations, the evening paper, to a
certain extent, was at the mercy OF
those of morning issue. The morning
paper talked 70 a larger number Of peo-
pie, and consequently the evening edi'
ton could not successfully combat the
ideas advanced. Then came changed
conditions. The evening papers were
improved to meet the requirements OF
the situation. And now with circula-
tons in hundreds OF cities far larger
than the morning issues, the evening
journal has the advantage and asks no
favor. Scarcely one man in twenty has
time in the morning or during the day
70 read a morning newspaper. The
evening affords the leisure necessary;
and the evening paper with its days
news of the world, with better and
fresher local pages just from the press,
gives its reader greater pleasure and
affords him more profit. Fast mail
trains on the railroads leading from
the metropolitan cities have had a fur
ther tendency to reduce country morn
ing calculations and business. The city
dailies are their active competitors. SO
now we behold the spectacle OF morning
journalists, who only a few years ago
down on their bellies to secure business,
and attempting by deliberate misrepre-
sensations 10 regain lost business and
lost rrestipn.

irish Poets.

The long training Of the people in
verse composing and verse reciting pre-
disposes them 10 the composition of
poetry of some degree of excellence.
says a writer in the Century. lrishmen
and Irishwomen as a rule have a knack
at writing if they receive any education
at all, and are natural journalists and
writer's at an early age. The last re-
Darkable poet of the file kind known in
Ireland was Carolan, the blind bard OF
the last century, whose portrait, and
the original, were published by James
Hardiman. He was as peripatetic as
Homer is said to have been, blind also,
and certainly a fine il not a great poet.
Though the race is not extinct, little
except the most ordinary verse is pub
lished in Irish today, the audience be-
ing too small to tempt tie most ardent
patriot. With all its inherited short
comings, and with the evils hat befell
il owing Il circumstances, the poetic
guild of ancient Ireland did the world a
great service in keeping from destruc-
ton historical and national data lost
from other parts of Europe. 1t also
added not q little to the worlds stock OF
tragic, OF noble, and of comic fiction.

QUEER SENATOR STEWART.
Funny Examples of the Nevada Senator'S
t-Mindedness.

Funny Examples OF the Nevada senator
Absent-MIndedness.
1t is asserted by friends Of Senator
Stewart, Of Nevada, that If his absence
Of mind could be cut into strips and
pasted together end to end, il would
reach twice around illimitable space
and tie in a double bow knot. Out on
the slope they used to tell a story Of
how he was Fastening n morning to
catch a train. when he suddenly stopped
and said to his companion:
There, by thunder, I've leftmy watch
under my pillow
Lets go back and get it. said his
friend.
don't believe we'll have time, and he
drew the watch from his pocket, looked
carefully at the face OF it, counted the
moments, and added: NO, we won't
have time and pressed on toward the
station, saying: 'Oh, well, ! guess ]
can get along for a day without a
watch
Ii is also related that Senator Stewart
dressed himself at a hotel one morning,
putting his vest on wrong side out, and
In a few minutes presented himself at
the Office, excitedly rubbing the places
where the pockets ought TO be and COM
planning that he had been robbed.
1t might have been believed that
these tales were works OF Imagination
had not the senator himself n day this
week given testimony to their truth.
The clerk of the senate was monoton-
ously calling the roll on some question
in which Senator Stewart was not inter
ested. The senator sat with his elbows
on his desk, his cheeks upon his hands
and his eyes fixed upon vacancy,
whittier his mind had gone.
"Mr. Stewart" the clerk called.
There was a moment of silence. Sen
ator Stewart continued TO look at moth
ing.
"Mr. Stewart" the clerk called
again, but Mr.. Stewart did not hear
him.
A brother senator sittingnear reached
over and touched him. The light OF
consciousness was just returning to the
~,dresmer's eyes when the clerk shouted
once more: "Mr. Stewart
II pass" said the senator from Ne
yada.

A Very Obliging Horse.

A very good and true story is re.
ported with Professor Marsh in the title
role. While walking on Prospect street
near his home not long ago he remarked
a horse attached to a dilapidated ash
wagon, driven by an aged negro, which
animal had on its leg a queer bone for
nation. The Professor stopped the
team, made a cursory examination OF
the protuberancc, and concluded the
interview by saying in a half joking
way that when the horse died he would
like that leg for scientific examination,
and would give 8 for the same de-
livered to his house. A couple Of hours
later, on his return home. he found a
long, awkward bundle at his front door
on the veranda. and il required nc
careful examination to reveal the leg
of a horse. You see. sab. the owner
of the ash wagon remarked, with a
