A goodly number of the so-called
statesmen who have been prominent in
the affairs of the last two decades are
destined to become fossil imprints on

to the future political paleontologist they

Misnaming Things.

The experienced huntsman in the woods never wastes
time looking for bear in Bear Hollow, nor deer along Deer
Greek, nor would he hope to shoot any great number of ducks
on Duck Lake, for his experience has taught him that such
points are always misnaned, and this lesson holds good with
almost everything in life. For instance, in the case Of the
brands on articles Of food, spices and other ground food
products, the things branded or labeled "pure", "strictly
pure" or "absolutely pure" are without exception the most
villainously adulterated. IT'S the wolf in sleeps clothing
always.
The most brazen case is. that Of the Royal Baking
Powder. This article is branded and paraded before the people

What woman would use an ammonia or alum baking

but ammonia will destroy the complexion.
Not so with Dr.. Prices Cream Baking Powder. the
only pure cream tartar powder to be obtained, and the

devoted a lifetime to perfecting this old-fashioned, in'
dispensable article Of the culinary art that has stood all the

great noise, a cloud of snow, and the
next thing Fawoett knew he was lying
in the snow at one side of the track

one pocket of the overcoat. The

NAMING THE BABY.
A Few Things to he Borpe In Mind OH
the Occasion.

the OccaslOn.
Since the day in which the mother
OF the ace cried over the head of her
little boy, Call his name Seth"
naming the baby has been the prerog-
alive of her daughters. Who does not
sympathize with poor Katy, the hero
inc Of "Stepping Heavenward," as
she sighed, II expected to call the
baby Raymond, but it seems that there
has been a lothian in the family ever
since the memory of man" 1t does
seem hard that relatives should insist
upon a young mothers handing down
the heirloom OF an ugly name. Yet it
is quite as we'll not to offend the pow
ers that Re, especially if the little
ones financial interests will suffer
thereby. The gratitude OF the hus-
band when family customs are kept up
rather than derided is of itself a suffi-
Gent reward for the sacrifice.
The next snare lying in walt for
the mother might be called extraor-
binary conbinations-the desire to
atone in the middle name for the
shortcomings of the first. Mrs. Wool
son gives us an illustration of this in
the case OF Miss Macks. whose name
was Ethelinda Faith, Mrs. Macks hav-
ing thus combined euphony and filial
respectable first title being her
tribute to aesthetics, the second her
tribute to the memory of her mother"
In choosing the Christian name it is
we'll to consider the surname, its
length, significance and associations.
The first day at school has been made
more trying than need be because
thoughtless parents have increased
the conspicuousness of a peculiar and
uncommon name by adding to it some
unusual title, sure to be twisted into
an annoying nickname.
The poetical nomenclature of litera-
ture and the prose of college cata-
logues and visiting-cards do not har-
monte. writes Helen Jay in Harper's
Bazaar. For this reason. if for no
other, the custom OF bestowing upon
children the romantic titles Of the
heroes and heroines Of fiction is to be
deplored. Uncle Toms Cabin" has
stood sponsor for too many Evas and
St Clares.
Long ago the question was asked
whats in a name?" We answer. reve-
latien, ancestry and a suggestion Of in
dividuality. Looking over the records
in the family Bible. n a discover
if the tendency of the race has been
religious. political, or clannish. and
what public characters have been its
ideals. The good sense or the folly of
the parents is exhibited in the Chris
tian ame of their children.
Dickens often speaks of the effect
upon himself OF the names of his asso-
ciates. We expect a Solomon to know
something. a Hercules to be strong,
and are disappointed if a Lily is not
fair. For this reason it is quite as
we'll to avoid names that call for q
certain harmony of temperament phys
ique, and career.
Plain manly and womanly names
that make no pretentions are always
pleasant to hear and speak. It is de-
cidedly better taste to choose English
in preference to foreign titles and no
matter how charming the president or
his wife may be, to shun notoriety in
naming the habv.

A P~oLlcEMAN's PARTNER.

Tom is q Cat, But He Knows . Thing o.
Octavia street. running from Bush
street north, owes it's nocturnal safety
during the last five years to Officer
John Tanning and his partner Tom"
q big black cat. The police officer pa
trolling his beat with a feline perched
on his shoulders or trotting patiently
at his heels for hours is a familiar
sight to the residents out in that Sec
ton Of the city, but it surprised a
Chronicle reporter the other night.
Tanning, who is a big, stout look
ing Irishman in reply to inquiry gave
the following explanation:
Give years ago, when I first came
on this beat. " said he, lone cold, rainy
night I found on the corner of Bush
and Octavia streets a shivering kitten.
crouching in d doorway, trying vainly
to get warm ana dry. The pitiful
means with which it greeted my APP
proach. made me pick the little thing
up. and, putting it under my coat. I
carried the kitten along with me all
night.
"Since then every night that kitten,
which has grown into a big tomcat, is
waiting for me on that old corner and
remains with me all night long. I
have become SO used to Tom that l
don't know what / would do without
him. and that he cannot get along
without me was clearly proved when
I had a leave of absence about a year
ago. was gone for two weeks, and.
would you believe it? that cat wan
dere d around day and night looking
the very picture Of despair. He would
not associate with tie officer who took
my place, and absolutely pinned away,
grieving over my absence. When I
returned he looked like q skeleton,
but his Joy was unmistakable."
Tanning says the cat is very intelli-
gent and understands the duties of a
police officer we'll. Tom is a great
judge of drunken people, and expresses
his opinion that they should be ar
rested by curving his back and snort
ing at the inebri.ted individual. When
the officer makes an arrest his part
ner, Tom. accompanies him a few
blocks on his way to the station, and
then returns to patrol the district un-
til Tanning comes back.-San Fran
cisco Chronicle.
