Doctors Names,

Something might be said in favor of the
primitive practice of naming men after
they were grown up instead of while they
were babies. Under the present system it
often happens that a mans name is Gu
riously out of keeping with his character
or pursuits. The literary editor of The
Doctor has lately been examining a new
directory of physicians, and seems to have
been greatly impressed by the singularlty
and appropriateness of some ofthe names
contained in it,
He thinks, for example, that Dr. Coffin
might sound unpleasantly suggestive to a
nervous patient, though less SO, perhaps,
than another name which follows it-Dr
Death a timid person might object to
DR.. Sexton also, and if one were very sick
indeed it would certainly seem ominous if
DR.. Death, DR.. Coffin and DR.. Sexton were
to hold a consultation at his bedside.
Other names almost as bad as the fore
going are DR.. Butcher and DR.. Slaughter,
though they occur several times each in
the directory. There are two DR.. Cranks
fewer than might have been expected
and one Dr. Craze, who is perhaps in charge
Of an insane asylum.
Some of the names may be called map,
propriately appropriate, such as Aiken,
Carver, Cutter, Hash, Diet, Hurt, Mangle,
Pellet, Fillmore, Tomb and Toothaker.
DR.. Ague and DR.. Shivers might very well
be partners, and if third man were wanted
they could hardly do better than TO call in
DR. Sweat

"Why, heard papa telling another man
that he was a self made man. "-West
Shore.
An Albanian and Brooklyn man who
have returned from Europe brought back
with them as a souvenir a couple of weap-
ons which show what marvellous ideas OF
American ferocity are current abroad. The
instrument of destruction is combination
of knuckle and dirk.
1t is made of electroplated metal after
the manner of the ordinary brass knuckle,
with the addition of stout four inch
blade about half an inch in width, which
closes upon the frame and when open is
held in position by a spring.
1t is evidently designed to strike or stall
with, and from the stout and peculiar con.
struction of the blade seems especially in.
tended for driving into the skull by a
downward blow. For that purpose it is a
peculiarly dangerous and brutal weapon.
The two specimens which have been
brought to this country were purchased in
a shop in Vichy, France, where they were
publicly exhibited for sale in window,
with table setting forth that they were
specimens of new and distinctly Ameri,
can weapon of otfense.-Albany Express.

Shut Out.

1t is hard for grown peopleto realize how
many things are perfectly simple to them,
but quite beyond the comprehension of
children. Figures of speech in particular
are almost sure to involve the little people
in tangle of perplexities.
Something of this sort happened to little
Fanny in church not long since. She is a
mere morsel Of humanity, and it is the
pride of her life that she is old enough to
be allowed to 20 alone to the house of her
aunt, three doors away.
Fannyis too short to reach the bell knob,
and as her soft little fist cannot make noise
enough to be heard by any one inside, she
is obliged to stand ON her aunt's doorstep
until some good natured person comes
along whom she can ask to ring the bell
for her. This difficulty, however, she has
been careful not to mention at home.
One Sunday the preacher had much to
say about coming to the gate of heaven
and knocking for entrance. Fanny listened
attentively, with face which grew con-
stantly more sober, until at last, when a
picture was drawn of little child's COM
ingt to the portal, she suddenly put her head
down into her mothers lap and burst into
perfect CONFUSION of tears. Astonished
at this sudden outbreak, her mother bent
down and in an anxious whisper asked
what the matter was.
"Oh, mamma, was the answer, in a
sobbing whisper, 81 don't think l could
ever get into heaven"
"Why not?" asked the puzzled mother.
"Oh, mamma" / am so little l could
never reach the bell, and never can make
anybody hear me knock"
Her grief was so bitter that she had to
be taken out of the church, and the rest of
the afternoon devoted to explaining to her
that the minister's words were not to be
taken too literally.-Youth' Companion.

Two Fingers, Yet He Makes Music.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch has discov-
cred young colored man, Benjamin Frank
lin Dixon, in st. Louis who plays eight
musical instruments at one time and has
but two fingers. Around his neck is a
brass and leather contrivance which holds
all of the wind instruments he plays upon,
so that by bending his head slightly he can
reach them with his mouth. Under one
foot is an electric button which connects
with the snare drum and electric bells.
On his left stands the big bass, which he
plays along with the cymbals by means of
a cord fastened to his left elbow. On the
other side hangs the triangle, which he
operates with his right elbow, moving in
and out in chicken-wing fashion. On his
head he fastens frame with bells upon it
which he shakes at the proper time. While
he is going through all these motions with
his arms head and feet he carries the air he
is playing on the harp, which is fastened
to the same framework as the wind instru-
ments. He is summer garden orchestra
all by himself.

The Money in SOAP.

At Atlantic City, as almost everywhere,
you see several soap kings. The soap king
is peculiar to no country. His name in
London may be Pear; in Philadelphia,
Bazan or Siddalls or Brooke; in Cincinnati,
Proctor; in GAINESVILLE, Schultz or Hoag; in
New York, Babbitt or Higgins, but the soap
man sweeps and scrubs the deck. A simple
recipe, namely, to get the discarded grease
of improvident families and compound it
with little I've and potash, makes all the
difference between the soap king and pow
erty. The soap king sometimes adds the
candle business to his other trade. He
deals in wax from the bees, and somewhat
in coal oil, as an assistant to the home fat
business But everywhere he compounds
advertising with thrift if he would sue
suits mankind so much as good soap.
Cleanliness being next to godliness, soap
is the priest of that cleanliness. There is
smell about fine soap which hardly any
thing in this world has. AS people go for
ward in the social and civilized scale they
do not draw nearer to tho angels, but nearer
to soap. The bubbles of soap resemble the
golden clouds and all the tints of the rain
bow. There is a conference about soapwhich
holds little drop of water together so that
it can expand under the breath until it is
as big as your head Some men love their
toilet and get good dividends out of atten-
ton to it, in white teeth, white hands, eX-
cellent compilations, and often the atten-
ton to the toilet in man is assisted by clean
appeUlres.-Cor. Cincinnati Enquirer.

Careful Road Making.

1t is nothing unusual for man to pay
his tax by work on the roads, but the way
Mr. Edwin Mcintyre, of Warren, works
out his tax is little out of the common
course. Mr. Mcintyre goes over the piece
of road he cares for at regular intervals
and picks up every rock. He collects them
in a wheelbarrow, takes them home, pull.
verizes them on a stone anvil and dumps
them back into the road again. This prac-
tice he has kept up for thirteen years. Dur
lag that time ne has ground and put into
the road fifteen cords of rocks. Mr.. Nc.
Intyre not only measures them, but the
last two years he has counted them.
He found by actual count that in 1889 he
used in this way just 81 6O+ cObblestones.
1t is needless to remark that this is one
of the best pieces of road in the town.

How to Roll an Umbrella.

Certainly, but you don't need any,"
said salesman in Chapel street store
recently to a customer who had just
bought an umbrella, and who had asked
for rubber ring.
But want to keep the ends of the ribs
from spreadingwhen the umbrella is rolled
up" and the customer held up for inspec.
ton the umbrella he had just rolled.
Let me show you," said the salesman
as he unfastened the band and shook out
the folds. Graspiug the stick SO that his
right hand held the ends of the ribs close
to the wood, he began rolling the silk in
the curve of his left hand. Whenever he
gave the umbrella a turn he kept the ribs
in their original position, and when the
rolling was complete he held up the UNI
brella and showed that the metal tips press
ed as closely to the stick as if riveted in
place.-New Haven Palladium.

A Tricky Question.

One of the questions in arithmetic in the
examination papers prepared by the board
of supervisors might indeed have been
taken from jest book. 1t stands: "John
caught thirteen fishes. His brother caught
eight more. How many fishes did his
brother catch?" The trick of language
here is to leave the child in doubt whether
more" fishes hes it's colloquial meaning
of ''other fshes' or is slipshod expression
meaning more fishes than John caught.
Whether Johns brother caught only
the eight fishes attributed to him by
the supervisor, or the twenty-one fishes
possible under more liberal construction
of the language used, must, in my opinion,
depend upon how the fish bit that day. II
must be remembered that the questions
are given orally to children under the in.
fluence of the excitement attending the
struggle for promotion to the grammar
school, children ranging from s to 10 years
of age-Boston Post.

TO HELP WORKINGMEN.
What Mr.. Humphreys Thinks Would
be a Good Plan.

Mr.. Joseph Mesmer and others went
out a few days ago to collect money with
which to put unemployed workingmen
into way of earning living. The SUBJ
scriptions did not swell to a large sum-
The list was then turned over to w. H.
Workman and John F. Humphreys, to
see what could be done. Mr.. Humphreys
was seen by HERALD reporter in regard
to the project, and he developed this
plan as good one: Money is scarce,
but great many people have lots that
are not readily salable. Instead of
money, let these people put in cheap
lot. Make list of these, and let the
Chamber of Commerce take hold of the
matter and hold an auction at the court
house some day and sell all the property
subscribed. With this money take a
number of families as far as it will 60
and put working people who do not
find employment on small pieces
of property. Get an old plug OF horse,
for rent or otherwise, get COW and a
tent, and let the family 60 out and raise
something for home use and the market.
Many people have patches of unused
land which might be leased to such fam
lilies at a nominal rental.
That is Mr.. Humphreys plan, which
he thinks might be made practical. 1t
is plain that every family SO helped will
thereafter be able to take care OF itself,
and that al, the same time it will be do
| ing benefit to the community.

THE BIG HOTEL.
Mr.. Denker Once More Has Some Hope
For IT.

When MIRA. II. Denker gets an idea
in his head he never let's it rest until he
accomplishes it. His great hotel project
is not dead, but only taking rest.
There is some hope that a revival OF it
may be seen before very long. This
hope is made the greater by the report
OF the building of a hotel in the City of
Mexico to cost $2,000,000. Los Angeles
is better theater for such an enterprise
than the City OF the Aztecs.
Last winter gentleman from London,
the agent OF a great English syndicate,
was here looking over the country, and
he and Mr.. Denker had an interview in
regard to the hotel. The stranger looked
carefully over the site and the plans and
went away not unfavorably impressed.
And this is very natural. The English
capitalists have put in $20S, 100000 into
American enterprises in the last year or
two. The figures are from careful esti-
mate made recently by the New York
San. Henry Willard is credited with
putting a million OF English capital at
this present time into the condensed
milk and cheese business around st.
Paul and Minneapolis. Now, there is
this to look at in these investments in
American breweries and other plants.
They have been built up during long
series of years by slow degrees and
piecemeal. Most of the plants are
things OF shreds and patches. The
money is paid to people who are skilled
in the business and who have the
run OF the trade of the section
There is nothing to hinder these people
from taking the English money, putting
up brand new plant from turret tC
foundation-stone, with the newest ane
best machinery known to this day, anC
knocking the new purchasers out every
time. esJ1
In the case of such thing as ou1
hotel there is no such risk. The mar
who builds it will have the field to him
self for long series of years to come
probably forever. Los Angeles has
name all over the world for the salubri
Gus climate and the charming scenery
with which nature has endowed her. 4
great hotel, with all modern conven
fences and luXuries, would attract tn,
very best tourist trade of the world
During severe winters at the Eas
thousands and tens of thousand
of people come here to spent
the winter. They came when hotel
accommodations were very indiffer
ent in Los Angeles. How then would i
be with hostelry, first-class in all re
spects and on scale that would ALLOW
of a perfect service at lowest profitabl,
rates? Under such circumstances Their
ought to be no risk as to such an affai
| paving
