at Is remarkable" said the patentee,
laying down his cigar, ''how little in
vention people display in selecting
names. A hundred generations Of Johns
serve only to increase the number of
him in each new freshet Of human
beings.
"Novelists struggle to give their
characters new names unheard Of be-
fore. Occasionally one hits the popular
fancy and becomes the heritage of our
race. Now, nothing could be easier
than diversity in names and entirely
new one at that.
"By a change in syllables or letters
any common name becomes a mine
from which new names are easily coined.
A whole family might be named from
Edgar, and nicely named too.
Thus Edgar becomes Cared, Erdag,
Ergad, Degre, which would mark the
boys indelible, and Gerda, Regda, Redga
would label the girls for all time.
"If the mothers name we're Edna, a
slight change in the order of letters and
her sons become Dane, Dean, Ande,
Adne, Enad and her daughters, Enda,
Aned, Made, Media. Different vowel
sounds give wide opportunities for taste
in pronunciation.
There is a mine OF wealth in names
for a novelist in the one name Edwin
for the hero. His successful brother
and rival becomes Wined. With the aid
of the astrologer, Wendi, and the verbose
lawyer, Winde, he might ALLEVIATE and
divorce his successful brothers wife En-
wild, and marrying the fair divorcee,
could name two of his heirs very appro-
priately Wedin and Inwed. A poor re-
lation could pose as Newdi, while Nedwi,
Denwi, Diwen and a host more derived
from Edwin could furnish the half tints

says that the proposed scheme for the
deportation of the negroes from this
country is not worthy of serious con-
sideration, and Hon. James Phelan is
right. (Ga.} Chronicle.
A better way to solve the negro prob
lem is for the whites of the south, and
of the north, also. to surrender the pre-
iudice they have against the black man,
and give him the rights which belong to
him. If the leading men Of the south
will bend their energies to the accom-
pliShment of this end they will do more
to settle the negro question than any
number of chimercan schemes can
Philadelphia Press.
The Republican press wants the
blacks to remain where they are, and II
proposes to solve the race problem in
the south in way that it could not be
solved in the north. if there were a
large black population there. The
blacks are in the south to stay, and the
south must deal with the race question,
with the understanding that they are,
and that the north is disposed to in
crease the difficulties of dealing with it.

Not Good Example.

A Boston paper has rather singular
case of the terrible example" sort in
view. A woman lately died i'll that state
at the age of 101. who had been a con-
slant smoker all her life. She smoked
after every meal, often at night also,
and used.a pound or strong plug tobacco
every week. The funny part of the
thing is that forty years ago an anti-to-
bacco league started in on a reformatory
mission in that section and used this
old lady as 1.-The terrible example"
She was good-natured enough to sit on
the platform smoking her pipe and be
pointed at as slave to vile habit and
fastening her way to sad, early grave.
But she smoked on, and when 100 years
old was able to smoke over the grave of
the last of the reformers. She might
have lived quite as long had she never
used tobacco. Instances of that sort do
not prove that tobacco may not be IN
juri Gus to the young or some constitu-
tons in maturity. Individual cases are
not reliable for the use that is often
made of them to prove any anxious the
Ory.

A Snob Notion.

Journals in the old country are in
clined to ridicule the quite frequent
practice in this country osize up gather
ings by their pockets. There is a sus-
picion of snobbery in it and an ignoble
standard. AT a cock fight in New York
a report states that twenty men present
represented 100000. At a wedding
the party in front of the altar are stated
to size up S20,00O.O00. At a funeral
''S60,000,G00 stood about the bier" I'm
less the gathering is distinctly classified
by the possessions of the individuals
there is no more propriety in singing
out the men who have money than those
who have bald heads or light or dark
hair. A man is not necessarily an OBJ
ject of inyidious comment because he
has millions. In all the makeup of
good samples of manhood he may COM
pare favorably with the standard ''poor,
but honest" The chances may not be
quite favorable, but there are grand
men who are rich. If they are rare, all
the more need of giving them respectful
reference. 1t is only toadyism that
genufieetS before dollars.

NEWSPAPER HEADS.

Chicago also has twilight club, deS-
ignated as Sunset, which determines
the problems of life and society. At q
recent symposium the newspapers came
under review and one of the philoso-'
piers descanted disapprovingly upon
the system of headlines in vogue. The
offensive phase was specially notable at
Chicago, of course. The grumbler
lived i'll a suburban town and, in coming
in on the car. he had often been dis
tnrbed by the apprehension that some
person would note the headlines before
him. One might suppose he was read
ing some nauseouS divorce trial or ac-
count of prize fight. Allowing for
any loudneSS required by the perverted
Chicago taste, there may often be room
for improvement. The reputation of a
paper is at times largely made by it's
headlines. 1t will be remembered that
the former management of a Chicago
paper so shocked the public sense
with SacrilegiOus headings that the
paper is still viewed with appre-
hensiOn in many circles. Instances
have been noted of journals going to
NtAA oPouAN SASlOiilO lOO
space for the character of the news. In
recent times there is system and art in
headlines. II is one of the departments
of newspaper architecture. in which
skill and taste are in the highest de-
mand. No bungler or slow coach can
fill the position. 1t is rapid work. The
salient points in the articles must be
caught at glance, and Indicated in the
captions with graduations of typograph-
zeal cOnspicuity. There must be no
misleading or failure to strike the live
interior of the variations. There may
be indications of eXhilaration over
events that the paper is known to be rep
resentatiye of, but the reader eXacts
good faith with MIN. He must not be
victimized by the headlines. They
must be pleasing to the eye. 1t is no
small feature Of a first-class paper to
prepare the heads.

Some account has been given of the
proposition to utilize the photograph
in connection with the postal service in
Mexico 1t seems that the late consul
general from this country has concluded
a contract with the Mexican govern
ment for its use in the postoffices of that
country. The contract is for fifteen
years, and local company is to fur
nish clerks and care for the instru-
ments. If it is considerable conven-
fence this country should be the first to
have it. The cylinders are to be sent
in the mail at the same rate as first-class
matter. The cases in which its use is
specially anticipated are where the
voice is wanted to identify the sender,
or the people can't read or write. The
latter class are very numerous in Mex
leo. Some interest will be taken in
noting how the thing works III that

A MESSAGE.

How little the left hand knoweth
The deeds that are done by the right,
How little the night time showeth
Its sorrowtul shades to the light
How few of the hearts that are broken
Betray to the breaker their grief;
How many harsh words that are spoken
Are the crushed souls only relief
Alas! for the ehildlike gladness
We never may known again;
And alas, and alas, for the sadness
That broods like spirit of pain
Like some spirit of pain that will hover
Still nearer when sunlight is fed.
Until youth. and youths last changeful lover
Grow old, and grow cold as the dead!
1t is strange that the hands that might lead
us
To heaven, refuse US their hold;
That the dear lips that whisper God speed
u.s."
Are the lips that are first to grow coldl
But love, We are nearer the dawning,
just there is the heavenly light,
Anu how little the glorious morning
Knows the sorrowful shades of the night

tuition.
