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 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 singularty
and appropriateness of some ofthe names
contained in 1t.
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 tinid 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 consultation at his bedside.
Other names almost as bed 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 inap-
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 r third man were wanted
they could hardly do better than to call in
Dr. Sweat.

s.. Louis to Colorado via wichita.

Commencing Sunday, July 1880, the
Missouri Pacific railway will run through
sleeping cars from St. Louis via Pleasant
Hill, Rich Hill, Fort Scott and Wichita to
Geneseo and from thence to Pueblo. Colo
RADIO Springs and Denver This change
was made on account of great many peo-
pie from the east going TO Colorado being
DESTROYS of going via Wichita. The train
will stop here two hours, giving all a
chance to view the Peerless Princess" and
still land passengers in Colorado same
time as if they had gone via Kansas City
1t also gives the citizens of Wichita sleep
ing car service from here to Colorado. Re
turning, it gives US through sleeping car
service Wichita toSt Louis, and gives the
Colorado people a chance to go east via
Wichita. This change will undoubtedly
be appreciated by the travelling public, and
especially by the citizens of Wichita. If
you are going east or west go via the pop
ular new through route. Through chair
and sleeping car service. New route just
completed between Fort Scott and Rich
Hill goes through the finest mineral and
agricultural country in the west. Don't
forget the new short line to st. Louis or
Colorado

The Frisco line boasts of having the
champion tramp OF all that great fratar-
nifty of travelling gentlemen" whose mi
grstory instincts lead them to patronize
railroad crossties as an economical and lux
urious mode of satisfying their nomadic
natures.
For the past four years he has travelled
between ST. Louis and Monett on that line,
as queer and harmless a character as ever
wandered aimlessly about, and is known
all along the road as ''the senator" He
has relatives at Dixon and St. Louis who
see that be has always a shirt, an old pair
of trousers and a vest, and this, with occa-
sionally ten cents worth of cheese and
crackers, is all the senator cares for in this
world. He does not want money He
stops at nearly every station on the route,
says but little to any one, fills the coal box
for the station agent With whom he may
chance to be, and then remarks:
az think if had broom and bucket
of water that that floor needs Scrubbing"
Furnished with broom and a bucket
he does the job, generally receiving a
quarter for it, with which be buys fifteen
cents worth of cheese and crackers and ten
cents worth of stove polish, using the
latter at once for polishing the station
stovel He never stays more than two days
in any town. Nearly every trainman on
the Frisco road would give the senator a
ride, but he prefers walking and lives
happily and contentedly on about $40 a year.

The Eioney 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 Siddells 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 lye 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
coed, and it must be confessed that nothing
suits mankind so much as good soap.
Cleanliness being next to goodness, soap
Is the priest of that cleanliness. There is a
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 the 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 soap which
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
appetites. Cincinnati Enquirer.

Hay Fever victims.

Professor Samuel lockwood, OF New
Jersey, who is the president of the Hay
Fever association, Is authority for the
statement that there are something like
100000 sufferers from hay fever in the
United States. The season opens in June
and continues uutu frost comes Just
think of i'll Two hundred thousand red
noses, 100000 iu6amed eyes, 100000 men
and women sneezing in continuous concert
for some live months, 100000 handker-
chiefs waving IN the summer breezes when
there are summer breezes, but waving any
how. A goodly army this of the hay fever
victims.
A peculiar thing about hay fever is the
fact that ii is fastidious in the matter Of
selecting its victims. One of the leading
members of the Hay Fever association, in
speaking Of this mstter the other day, put
IL very tersely: mo fool ever had hay
fever However, il is not well 10 accept
this proposition COO literally, for it is pos
slble sometimes for q fool to suffer from
the popular summer disorder just as wise
men do.-New YORK Nail and Express.

what the matter was.

taken too literally.-Youth's Companion.

Two Fingers, Yet He Makes Music

The st. Louis Post-Dispatch has discov-
cred a 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 continuance 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 bis right elbow, moving in
and out in chickeu-wing fashion. On his
head he fastens a frame with bells upon it
which ne shakes at the proper time While
he is going through all these motions with
his arms. head and feet he carries the air he
q playing on the harp, which is fastened
to the same framework as the wind instru-
ments. He is a summer garden orchestra

Emperor Williams "UncIe. -

1t is said that the extraordinary defer
ence and regard shown by the German EN-.
peror William 70 King Christian, who is
old, poor, dull, and of no political conse-
quenoe, is due to the fact that ten years
ago. at the castle of Rumpenheim, in
Hesse. on occasion of some meeting Of po-
tentstes, young William, who had accom-
panied his grandfather as heir presumptive,
and showed himself beir presumptpous as
well, was severely snubbed by the hssen1-
bled royalties, with the single exception Of
''the besuteous majesty of Denmark, who
declared that the lad had the making Of a
great man in him, and treated him with
an afeOtionate politeness and assumption
of equality which won the heart of the
younssuer, who has ever since called his
defender uncle Harper Bazaar.

USELESS LITTLE EXPENSES.
Keep an Account of What You Spend If
You Want to Save Money.

| Keep an Account of What You Spend il
You Want to Save Money.
Ben Franklin had wise old head when
he advised his readers to take care of the
pennies and the pounds would take care of
themselves. The boy in whose pockets the
pennies burn holes will understand the diff
| ficulty Of taking care of the pennies, and
! like as not declare that it cannot be done.
Il don't know" says Rob Reckless,
what becomes of my money. Only yes
terday | changed the dollar that Uncle Tom
gave me, and only bought glass of soda,
and now / have only dime left. Where

Edith Random. What will papa say
when he discovers that my months allow
ance has only lasted week? Where did it
go? really can't tell. / remember treat
ing the girls to ices yesterday, and buying
a ribbon the day before and two pairs of
gloves last Saturday, and oh, dear, don't
ask me where it has gone"
But that is Just the question every boy
and girl should ask themselves when they
find their money disappearing.
'It is good thing to keep an account of
your small expenses" John Bigelow, ex-
q
once said to an acquaintance as he entered
an item in his note book.
His listener smiled at the remark. but
being sensible fellow he took it to heart.
In recently telling the story of his expert
ence he said that up to that time he had
never thought of the amount it annually
cost him for cigars and other sundries. He
began to itemize the cost daily he was
ut ha ~ ha ha ba
footed up the sum of $3.50 A change was
wrought in him, and he determined that
he would keep such expenses down to one
third of the sum in question.
"And now" he said, within ten years 1
have profited by Mr.. Bigelow's advice to
the amount of s., 900, which have handed
over to my wife to keep for hard times.
And l have not become mean either"
A great many little expenses are incurred
for such useless objects that the money
might as well be thrown into the street,
and they are the expenses that an expense
book would check.
1t is not mean" to keep an account of
little expenses. The United States gov
eminent requires all postmasters to collect
and sell waste paper and string and render
an account of the money realized from the
sale; army officers are required to account
for every hammer, bit of harness, yard of
cloth or gilt button, and the weather bu-
reau requires its observers to report the
disposition of every postage stamp.
So it is in every great mercantile and
manufacturing establishments; the little
expenses are rigidly looked after because
experience has shown that in the aggregate
they amount TO large sums.
Take care of the pennies by noting where
they go and you will be surprised to find
how the practice viii act as a check on
useless expenditure. Keep guard on the
little expenses and you will have no trou-
bic with the big ones.-Golden Days.
