What's In a Name.

In the Massachusetts, Reports, if one
would take the trouble to look there-or,
indeed, whether one looks for it or not
there is one Of the condolences which
do SO much to keep the theory alive.
Therein it is recorded and set forth how
one Aquarius Breen was convicted of adj
ulterating milk. 1t must be evident to
any theorist that the name was respon-
sible for his departure from the paths of
probity. How could it be expected that
man with the name Aquarius would
fail to water his milk?
His whole conscience might rebel
against the sin, but his destiny was set
tied when he was christened, and how
could he resist it, Had Justice been
done punishment in this case would
have been meted out, not to Aquarius
Breen, but to the parents who by infict-
ing upon him such name had made it
impossible for him to do otherwise than
to water his milk. He was the victim
Of circumstances over which he had no
control whatever. Courier.

For THE NEW YEAR.

The world renowned success of Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, and their con-
tinued popularity for over third of a
century as stomachic, is scarcely more
wonderful than the welcome that greets

immediate supervision, employing sixty
hands in that department They are
running about eleven MONTH in the year

1891 will be more then ten millions,
printed in the English, German, French,
Welsh, Norwegian, Swedish, Holland,
Bohemian and Spanish languages. Re-
fer to copy of it for valuable and inter
esting reading concerning health, and
numerous testimonials as to the efficacy
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, amuse-
ment, varied information, astronomical
calculations and chronological items. &c.

Early Minstrel Shows.

1t was in the early fifties that minstrel
shows first became so popular in the
States, and in 1857 Jack Raynor, who
used to be middleman and bass singer
for E. P. Christie when his troupe
played in old Mechanics hall, at No. 472
Broadway, New York, started the first
Christie minstrels in London. Raynor
is one of the few old timers still alive,
and he lives in Paterson, n. j., to-day.
Another of the old leaders to the front is
Dick Hooley, who used to be with
Campbell's for years and afterward run
a minstrel theatre of his own in Brook
lyn. What's he doing now, d'you say?
Why, it's the same Dick Hooley, of
Hooley's theatre, Chicago, today, and
the same Cool White that was middle
man and stage manager of the Hooley
Opera house of the war times, is mana
ger of Hooley's theatre today. w.

GRAINS OF GOLD.
Pride is as loud a beggar as want.

Pride is as loud a beggar as want.
Not to worship God is to rob your own
soul.
You viii never be happy unless you
Try TO be.
The only easy thing to do in this world
is to love.
Never look back and you won't want
to 60 back.
Sin is not only Gods enemy, but every
souls enemy.
A woman must be a genius to create
good husband
The first thing to do in the service of
God is to be happy.
Indecision is the biggest robber on
the face of the earth.
The leaves of memory seem to make
mournful rustic in the dark.
No man ever expects to be final loser
when he deals with the devil.
Nothing keeps stingy man from
stealing but the risk of the thing
1t takes mighty good eyesight to see
the devil through a wall of money.
If God puts you in the fire be thank
full; it is because He can see gold In you.
Until man has been tried he will al
ways have reason to be afraid of himself
The hypocrite is only on his good be-
haviOur while he thinks he is watched.
The man who is bully to his wife or
child, is a coward in the presence OF men.
A man who hates to find out that he is
wrong has a good deal of the mule in him.
You must repent and be willing to get
out of your sins before God will forgive
you.
1t is seldom thatw find out how great
our resources are until we are thrown
upon them.
Gaze into the looking glass, when you
want to see the person most to blame
for your misfortunes.-

The Average Congressman Is Poor

To the average congressman $1,000 a
year is considerable money. 1 would
not like to say that there are any gentle
men in congress who do not attach more
importance to the honor of a seat in the
national legislature than they do to the
amount of salary they are paid for their
services. Still, 1 have good reason for
saying that there are more. men in con-
gress who manage to save something
out of their salaries than there are of
those who practically never touch their
allowances as congressman.
There are several men now in the
house who live during the session of
congress upon the amounts that they re-
ceive as mileage and what they are al
lowed with which to purchase station
cry. At home it does not cost them any
ready money for their expenses, or if it
does they are able to make sufficient to
meet them. Consequently these con-
gressmen are able to save the 1000
they receive during their term of Office.

He Wished She Was a centipede

He was good looking fellow, and one
of the young ladies present kindly took
an interest in him and tried to make him
feel at ease. He fell desperately IN love

ing the house the young lady who had
taken friendly interest in the cowboy
forgot her overshoes and the hostess told
the young Lochinvar from the plains

The herder leaped at the chance, and
presented himself in due time at the

to see him, but greeted him cordially

Photography Applied to Surveying.
Surveyors are becoming more and
more indebted to photography for the
way in which it facilitates and improves
their work. For reconnaissance the cam
era offers some pleasant features. The
public Is always anxious to know what
an engineer is doing with a transit,
but if he has map of the country and
an aneroid in his pocket, 80 that, by
fences or otherwise, he can tel pretty
nearly where he is, he is only an anna
teur artist, making views Of scenery,
and the farmer is not suspicious that he
wants to run railroad through his corn
crib. Such pictu1es as may thus be Sc
cured, understandingly used, may help
to decide where line will probably be
best, so far as the general features of
the country are concerned.
Progress Is the order of the day. It
is not long since the engineer who used
a camera 10 take occasional or semi
occasional records Of the progress of his
work was looked upon as putting on airs
Now, however. the blue print and the
camera come In very handi1y, 80 much
SO that it is not the engineer who uses
them, but rather the one who does not,
who is the exception. The engineer Is
not likely to dispense just now with his
transit. but he who avails himself of
such help as photography can give him.
especially in such work as making close
typographical surveys, will have very
great advantage over him who does not

PEASANT WOMEN IN JAPAN.
Thsy Are Much the Same Today as Thei
Ancestors We're Centuries AGO.

They Are Much the Same Today as Their
Ancestors We're Centuries Ago.
The peasant woman, clad summer and
winter in the same dress of blue cotton,
and hardly distinguishable afar from
her husband, who wears his hair IN a
knot hike hers and is clad in a robe of
the same color-the peasant woman who
is dsily seen bowling over her toll IN the
tea fields or in the liquid mud of the rice
swalas, protected by rough hat on days
when the sun burns, and having her
head completely enveloped when the
north wind blows by dreadful muffier,
always blue, that only leaves the almond
eyes to view-the small and funny peas
ant woman of Japan, wherever she may
be sought for, even IN most remote dis
tricts of the interior, is incontestsbly
much more refined than our peasant
woman of the west. She has pretty
hands and pretty delicate feet; mere
touch would suffice to transform her into
one of those ladies that are painted on
vases or transparent screens. and there
would be little left to teach her of man
anGed grsces, Of affectations of all sorts
She almost always cultiyates pretty
garden around her ancient cottage of
wood, whose interior, garnished with
white mats, Is scrupulotsly clean Her
household utensils, her little cups, her
little pots, her little dishes, instead Of
being, as with Us, of common earthen-
ware daubed with brilliant flowers, are
Of transparent porcelain decorated with
those light and fine paintings that bear
witness of themselves to long heredity
of art She arranges with original taste
the altar of her humble ancestors. Final
vases, with the least spray of verfure,
slender bouquets that the most artistic
among our women would hardly be ca
pable Of composing.
She may possibly be more honest than
her sister of the cities and her life may
be more regular-from our European
point of view, of course; she is also more
reserved with strangers. more tin.id,
with sort of mistrust and dislike of the
intrpders, notwithstanding her amiable
welcome and her smiles
In the villages Of the interior. far from
the recent railroads and froman modern
importations, in places where the mil
leDary immohlity of the land has not
been disturbed, the peasant woman has
probably changed but little from what
must have been, several centuries ago,
her most remote ancestor, whose soul,
vanished in time, has even ceased to
hover over the family altar. AT the bar
baric periods of our western history when
our mothers still preserved something of
the grand and wild rudeness of primi-
tive times, there lived doubtless yonder,
in those isles at the east of the ancient
world, these same little peasant women,
80 polite and so mincing, and also these
same little ladies Of the cities, SO civil
lied, with their adorable courtesies. -
