Picturesque Designations.
It is interesting to note from time to
time the prevailing characteristics OF
the age as reflected in the Christian
names of the rising generation. II
young people were allowed to choose
their own names as SOON as they were
!capable Of doing SO, or if, as it has been
suggested, they were allowed to revise
their Christian names, say on being con
sfrmed Or on reaching their majority,
the tendencies of the time would be
stin more clearly observable. AS it is,
however, anyone who has reached the
age Of thirty is in q position to note the
great change which has come over the
spirit of personal nomenclature in the
last couple Of decades.
One has only to look over the list Of
prize winners at girls school to oe,
come convinced Of the increasing par
tiality of parents Tor romantic designa-
tions for their offspring. There is less
temptation to indulge in romance in
naming boy. Still there is always the
danger that girls temperament and
career will belle her name, ii the name
happens to be one with any remarkable
associations. It does not follow that
Stella Will show taste for astronomy
or Undine for swimming. Hence, SO
long as individuals are bound to stick
to their Christian names all their lives,
the more discreet parents will continue
to avoid the unbridled Indulgence in
their passion for Che picturesque.

HOW VOTERS ARE MADE.

Totally Ignorant Foreigners Turned Into
Good Citizens of the Republic.
The most tiresome duty that the
judges Of the superior and common
pleas courts has to perform is the nat
uralization of the thousands of foreign.
ers that wish to become invested with
the rights and privileges Of American
citizenship--especially just before cleo"
ton time. When naturalization is going
on the courtroom is turned into a
schoolroom. The clerk calls off the
name of the prospective citizen, who
steps up to the bar with his friend who
is to declare that he has known him Sc
many years and that he knows him to
be Of good moral character. Then the
friend steps aside and a judge asks the
embarrassed candidate 6 few questions
to see if he knows enough about ON
government to be given q vote. This
is part Of a conversation between judge
and candidate in the court Of common
pleas the other day, says the New York
Times:
''What is the government of this coun'
try?" asked the Judge.
'<Republic,' said the candidate.

OUR IMPORTED MISERY.
A Complex Problem to Be Worked Out

A Complex Problem to Be Worked Out
on American Soil.
Mrs. Annie Besant, writing of her
American impressions in the London
Star, says: 81 spent some interesting
hours tramping about New York slums,
contrasting in my mind the terrible
poverty with the little less terrible
wealth found within the limits of the
same city. The misery saw was chief
;ly foreign-the streets and houses were
filed with Germans, Polish and Rus
sian Jews, Italians, Irish, hapkss
seekers for the riches that lie at the
end of the rainbow where it touches
the earth. The public schools of the
district told the same story, scarcely an
American child being found among
the dark-eyed, dark-haired little ones,
who have to be taught the language of
their adopted country ere their or
binary education can commence. It is
a complex problem which has to be
worked out on American soil, this
shooting down Of foreign waits and
strays into country which so quickly
admits them to full rights of citizen
ship, the fragments broken by British
and continental oppression used for the
building Of a, country that should be
noble and free. The steps Of the
Nemesis which dogs the heels Of
crime may be heard all over the civ
ilized world, the citizens Of to-day
reaping the harvest they sowed 50 long
ago. When, and Of what nature shall

THE BORE IN THE AMAZON.

Rivers.
The 'bore" in great rivers is a curious
phenomenon concerning which we get
some interesting information from the
recent United States supplement to the
sailing directions Of the east coast OF
South America. The bore on the ANA
ION seems to partake of the character
of 8 tidal wave. 1t sometimes occurs in
the western branch of the Amazon near
spring tides, but generally confines it."
self to the shadows and afauents, and
is not dangerous in depths greater than
four fathoms.
1t announces it's presence by q roar
which is heard at distance of several
miles. This ominous noise increases
as the wall OF water approaches, and
then the front Of the bore, from five 10
twelve feet in height, surges III with a
breaking force ANA spreads over the
shallow waters off Maraca island and
the estuaries Of the Araguri river. The
velocity is from twelve to fifteen miles
an hour. Strange us it may seem, the
phenomenon never develops except at
low tide, and is most frequent and de-
structive at the equinoxes. The Chinese
rivers have the most remarkable bores.
Then comes the Amazon.
Sometimes three or four of these great
waves dash up the river in quick sue
cession. The explanation of the phe-
nornenon is easy. It is partly due to
the trades and partly to the prevalence
Of strong winds, peculiarly favorable to
the formation of e. wall of water. The
storm wave of cyclone seems to unite
with an exceptionally high tidal wave.

HOW MICE ENGAGE IN BATTLE.
They Resemble Human Pugilists In Their
Little Encounters.

Little Encounters.
Before we had much observed mice,
the use Of their long tails was ques-
ton that puzzled us, says a writer in
the Northwest. We do not know of
what service they are to the females,
but to the bucks they are, we see, Of
use in their combats; for when they
fight, they very often face one another
standing on their hind legs, the tails
then making, Us with kangaroos, the
third feature of a tripod.
Their appearance: when they thus
stand facing each other with
their heads thrown back and their paws
in front of their faces is, on account
perhaps of the resemblance it bears to
prize fighters, extremely comic. Small
mice, also, when attacked by their big
ger congeners, raise their paws before
their faces. the attitude in that case
strangely suggesting one of deprecation.
What occuss when belljgerent bucks
actually engage only instan taneous
photography could record, SO rapid are
their movements. Presumably, they try
to bite, but must consider defense the
better part of valor, for they never ap-
pear to get hurt much, and between the
rounds will nibble away at the crust
which brought them into the vicinage,
only showing their excitement by rat

My father was no pessimist; he loved the thin
Its cheerfulness and sunshine, its music and its
mirth; ~
He never sighed or moped around whenever
things went wrong
warrent me he'd mock at fate with some defiant
song;
But being he warn,t much on tune. whenever
times were blue,
He'd whistle softly to himself this only tune he
knew.
Now mother, when she learned that time which
father whistled so,
Would say; "Theres something wrong to-day
with Ephraim, know;
He never tries to make believe he's happy that
ere way
But that Pm certain as can be some trouble is to
And so, betimes, quite natural like, to us obscrv-
ant youth,
There seemed suggestion in that tune of deep
pathetic truth.
When brother William joined the war a lot of us
went down
To see the gallant soldier boys right gayly out of
A,comin' home, poor mother cried as il her heart
would break
And all US children, too-for hers and not for
Williamslsake!
But father, trudgin' on ahead, his hands behind
him so,
Kept whisllin' to himself, so sort of solemn-like
and low
And when my eldest sister Sue was married and
went west,
Seemed like it took the tuck right out of mother
and the rest;
She was the sunlight in our homc-why, father
used to say
1t wouldn't seem like home at all If Sue should
go away
Yet, when she went, a-leavin' us all sorrow and
=. all tears,
Poor father whistled lonesome .like-and went to
feed the steers.
When crops were bad and other ills befell our
homely lot,
He'd set around and try to act as If he minded
not;
And when came death and bore away the one he
worshiped so,
How vainly did his lips belle the heart benumbed
with woe!
You see the tell tale whistle told a mood he'd not
admit
He'd always quit his whistln' when he thought
we noticed it!
I'd like to see that STOPPING form and hoary head
again
To see the honest, hearty smile that cheered his
feow-men
Oh, could kiss the kindly lips that spoke no
creature wrong,
And share the rapture of that heart that over
flowed with song;
Oh, could hear the little tune he Whistled long
ago,
When he did battle with the griefs he would not
have us know.

The Penalties of War.

Up to the present time Chile
seems to be acting in utter dis
regard of the penalties of unsuccess-
full war. Even if the Chilean navy
should enable that nation to gain
some temporary advantages, it is
not within the range of reasonable
probability that in the end the
United Safes will not dictate terms
of peace. What will be these terms?
When Germany had France at her
mercy it asked a thousand million
dollars and two provinces as the
price of peace. When an Ameri-
can army was in the City of Mexico
the price of peace was California
and other territory On the Pacific
Coast and between the coast and
the Missouri River. The United
States will not go to war with
Chile unless forced to do so, and
when the terms of peace come to
be talked over in the event of wal
the victorious party will be likely
to demand indemnity for the past
and security for the future. Call

y watery waste behind-I look before,
Through cleaning curtain OF
golden haze; ,ood
And far beyond the verdure-ooroefeo
shore,
Like siIhouettes against the sunset
blaze,
I see twin peaks of mighty mountains
rise,
IlIumed in glorious tints OF goid anu
rose;
And crimsoned vapors climbing puI-
pied skies,
Incarnadined the everlasting SHOWS.
While sunset fires burned Slowly
'mong the woods,
Our vessel glides into the crescent
bay,
And darkness down the mountain
solitudes
Creeps softly down and closes UP
the day.
Nights gray robe unfolds; garish gay
is done,
And Gods bright lamps in heaven
come one by one.
The morning dawns; the east IS all
aglow.
Carnage of color paints the vauited
dome.
The drowsy wavelets family ebb and
flow,
And drift athwart the beach in rip
pling foam.
Beyond the cleaning belt OF yellow
sand,
Set deep within green Paradisal
bowers,
The city sleeps, as in fairyland;
Buried beneath a wilderness OF
flowers.
A lovely land, where flowers forever
blow,
And all the forests with bird music
ring;
Where faint winds through the wood
lands come and go,
And gentle songs among the
branches sing.
If there's an Eden found beneath the
skies,
This surely is the earthly Paradise.
