tial of the name wrong. The public
catches the middle name of a public

the speaker who gets the middle initial
wrong in a speech not only gets the
laugh on himself, but he makes the
man whose name he thus mutilates
look less prominent.

Retribution,

Not so long ago there was new rood
made for the loft of a certain country
church, and the old rood was stored
away in the loft of the parsonage. The
parson, feeling q desire toward goose,
had fine one fattened, killed, stuffed
and spitted, and finally put down Ia
roast. He was frugal man and to
save frewood lugged out the old cruel.
Ok and put it on the fire as it was, hia
conscience forbidding him to break Il
up. This done, he went of to church,
leaving his little nephew to roast the
goose-to turn the spit. In course Of
time the cross beam of the rood wa
burned through and the figure fell
down, face foremost, on the goose.
The little boy fed away in terror and
ran into the church, calling out: ''Un'
Gle, uncle, that man you put on the fire
is eating your goosel"-Bervalde de

How "idlewiId" Was Named.

Idlewild, the home of N. =. Willis
On the Hudson, is almost as celebrated
~ Mount Vernon, where Washington
0ved so long. The way it came to re.
osive its rather odd name is interesting.
Mr.. Willis loved the Hudson river and
ID beautiful and picturesque environs,
and he spent much time searching for
the spot he finally selected. II was o
rough old farmer who sold him his
property. The man tried to impress
Mr.. Willis with the value of the land for
farming purposes, told him what 1t
could be made to yield in year and
how much stone he had taken from il
and underbrush he had burned, think.
ing this the most valuable information
he could give him. But Mr.. Willis was
not at all interested In these matters.
What he wanted was fine view of the
river and nature in all its loveliness.
The cultivation of the land was pre-
cisely what he did not care about.
He wandered about the place with
the farmer, undetermined whether to
buy II or not, when they came to q
splendid gorge, whose magnificent beau.
" satisfied all the longings of the poet
and dreamer He stopped and gave
vent to burt Of enthusiasm and asked
the farmer what he would take for that
portion of hi property. The man stared
In amazement and evidently thought
his customer was mailman; but eager
10 dispose Of this uncultivated waste Of
land, as he thought it, he said: That bit
OF idlewili! That is not good for much |;
you may have it for such price," and
he named low figure. Mr.. Willis
bought the property on the spot, and
decided at once that 1t should be called
'Tdlewild. New York Press

Several Grewsome Inventions.

"feWsoue
With view Of robbing the grave OF
Its terrors somebody has patented a
lining to conceal the mother earth.
This lining consists Of evergreen at.
tached TO cloth or mating After the
coffin is lowered the decoration can be
pulled out and used again until the
evergreen wears out or turns brown.
The inventor proposes TO bring the
scenic effects within the reach of poorer
people by having an imitation of ever.
green painted on canvas for cheaper
use.
Another Of these funeral minded In.
ventos has patented what he calls a
''cab for pail bearers The vehicle
has side doors and will hold eight per.
sons, two Of whom. however. must ride
backward. The design seems 10 be to
save the expense Of an extra carriage,
at the same time encouraging suciabil.
ty on the part Of those performing the
last sad offices.
And, as IL this was not enough, an.
other inventor has obtained letters on
what he calls "a funeral carriage. "
He carries the coffin and the bearers,
and II there are not too many mouners
be accommodates the whole procession
With one vehicle. The funeral car.
Eiage Is built like an omnibus, with a
compartment on top for the coffin.
The inventor provides skids, an endless
chain and pulley for running the
soffin up iato the place intended for Il
over the heads Of the bearers. Cor. St.
