A writer in the CornhM Mdgazine
tells a characteristic story of the famous
Mrs Fletcher, of Tancrigg, whose beau
tiful face the readers of her autobiogra-
ply will remember as immortalized at
the age of 50 by the elder Richmond.
She had been very i'll, but was recov-
ering, when she heard that Mazzini, the
Italian patriot, was in London, and
against the counsel of her friends, who
feared the journey and the excitement
for her, she determined, notwithstand-
ing her age, to go up TO London and bo
present at public breakfast to be given
in his honor.
"But you have no bonnet; you can not
appear in that hood, they urged.
twill have bonnet for the occasion,
was her reply; and straightway word
was dispatched to a milliner in London
to have a bonnet suitable for an old
lady Of 80, made and forwarded to Eus-
tbs Station TO meet her on her arrival by
the night train. The bonnet was made
and dispatched, and the brave old lady,
whose heart never grew old, travelled up
to town to find her bonnet in waiting.

you think, my dear. found when !

thing as this? asked for bonnet for

ANNAPOLIs MIDI SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 20. 1880


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 curiously out of keeping
with his character or pursuits, The lit
erary editor of the Doctor has lately been
examing a new directory of physicians,
and seems to have been greatly impressed
by the singularity and inappropriateness
of some of the names contained IN it.
He thinks, for example, that DR.. Coffin
might sound unpleasantly suggestive to
nervous patient, though less so, per-
haps, than another name which follows
it--Dr. Death A timid person might
object to DIR. Sexton also, and If one
were very sick indeed, it would certainly
seem ominous if DIR. Death, DIR. Coffin,
and DIR. Sexton were to hold a consulta-
ton at his bedside.
Other names almost as bad as the fore
going are DR.. Butcher and DIR. Slaughter,
though they occur several times each in
the directory. There are two DIR. Cranks
fewer than might have been expected
and one DIR. Craze, who is perhaps in
charge of an insane asylum.
Some of the names may be called in
appropriately appropriate, such as Aiken,
Carver, Cutter, Hash, Diet, Hurt, Man
gle, Pellett, Fillmore, Tomb, and Tooth
aker. DIR. Ague and DIR. Shivers might
very well be partners, and if third
man were wanted they could hardly do
better than to call in DIR. Sweat.
Other names are anatomical or physi-
ological: DIR. Bones, DIR. Nuckolls, DIR.
Shinn, and DIR. Bowel, for example, not
to mention Lungs, Livers, and Lights.
DIR. Salts is not name to quarrel
with. and the same may be said of DIR.
Seltzer and Dr. Seidlitz. DIR. Tarwater,
Dr. Rootes, and DR.. Bitters have an in
nocent sound, but what shall be said Of
Dr. Boozer, DIR. Dullard, DIR. Fitzpatrick,
Dr. Duffer, DIR. Hornblower, DR.. Lepper,
and DIR. Swindell2
The list contains one DIR. Honesty, but
it is doubtful whether he deserves that
honorable title better than do several of
his professional brethren who frankly
call themselves DIR. Nostrum, DIR. Able,
DR.. Good, and DIR. Noble, are perhaps
not Pharisees, and DIR. Newbill. DIR. Me-
Affee, and DIR. Dollar may not be more
mercenary than DIR. Smith or DR.. Brown.

Hired to Battle.

/ learned this week Of new device +.
the part of hotel keeper to draw trade.
Noticing large crowd collected about a
bathing place, on which were situated
the bath houses and pavilion of very
ordinary hotel, / journeyed thither to
satisfy not unreasonable curiosity. The
crowd was engaged in looking at three
young women who had just emerged
from the water. The women were fairly
handsome, and owned fine forms, which
were somewhat fully exhibited. One
had full bathing costume of crimson,
the second wore pale blue, and the other
wore white. They displayed no embar-
rassment as they walked along with a
multitude of eyes resting upon them.
The young women, was told, were en-
ployed by the hotel keeper for the pur-
pose of attracting crowd to his bathing
houses and pavilion. They serve their
purpose successfully, and their employer
must be more ingenious than they are
modest.-[Long Branch Letter.

Relation OF the Left Hand to Heal.-,.

Relation or the Left Hand to Heai.r-.
In connection with the subject Of the
duality of the brain there is one point OF
great importance about which / can only
say a few words. 1t is that we have
great many motor elements in our brain
and our spinal cord, which we neglect
absolutely to educate. Such is the case
particularly with the elements which
serve the movements of the left hand.
Perhaps, however, fathers and mothers
will be more ready to develop the natu-
raj powers of the left hand of their chill
dren, giving them thereby two powerful
hands, if they accept that, as Ibelieve, the
health Of the brain and spinal cord would
improve if all their motor elements were
fully exercised. -IDr Brown-Sequard.

c,.rk.yiIl.., Population.

The Leaf -Chr,nicie Of Tuesday
contains this explanation OF why
Clarksyille's population is only 4,529;
"Thus ii stands. The census emu
merators have taken the population
of tho old city and reported 1929
This has been sent in as the popula-
ton, and $500 people living in the
new territory are not included in the
official report. The population of
Clarksyille is 1879, and nothing short
OF that will satisfy her citizens. I'm
less this report is changed Clarksville
viii be put down Us gaining about
600 souls in ten years, when she has
really increased $500, or over 100 per
cent"
Granting that all this is true, the
fact remains that the increase in the
original city limits is only 600. or
course the added territory represents
no actual increase. Now let's make a
comparison. In 1880 Clarksville had
$500 people and Hopkinsville 4,229.
Clarksville now has 4,529, an increase
of GOO and Hopkinsville has $500, an
increase Of 1900. Clarksville has sub
urbs recently annexed with 3,300 peo-
pie, while Hopkinsyille has suburbs,
not annexed with equally as many
people. We have all along contend
cd that the figures would not sustain
tha boastful claims OF Clarksyille's
papers. The population OF the Clarks-
Vile magisterial district in 1880 was
1913 and OF the Hopkinsville district
7,l5O. They were about equal then,
with the advantage slightly in favor
OF the former. GAINESVILLE has in
creased l6 per cent. in ten years and
Hopkinsyille 40 per cent. Now APP
plying the same rates to the districts,
Clarksyille, including suburban popu-
lation, has s,4s3 and Hopkinsville TO-
0l0. The number Of voters in the
Hopkinsville district ct-about 2,OOo-is
evidence that these figures arc not too
large and taking oil the evidence at
hand there is no doubt that Hopkins
ville, with the commercial advantages
against her, has outstripped Clarks-
vile and now has nearly 1000 more
people in and around the city than it's
nsighbor across the border.
