HISTORICAL NICKNAME
Biography in Nutshell-Some Facts
Worth Remembering

Biography in Nutshell-Some Facts
Worth Remembering.
English public men of past days were
not without their nicknames, and what
strikes one in connection with them is
their regularity -and designation. To-
day these names are evidently ON the
decrease.
O'Connell. the great lrisIman, was
popularity styled THE Agitator." "The
Liberator," THE Big o" and "The
Great o.
Sir Robert Peel was for many years
familarly called "Orange Peel, in con-
sequence of his somewhat remarkable
opposition to the Roman C ,thoics while
acting as chief S cretary.
OF Lord Brougham, it is related that
while practicing at the bar, he came in
contact with Lord Ellon, who persisted
in calling him "NIr. Brcffam. Owing
to a peculiar twitching of the face,
Brougham was known in parliament as
Harry Twitcher.
The Duke of Marlborough is known
to us best, perha S, as the Handsome
Englshman, but in his time he was
also the British Pallas, "Humphrey
Hocus, and tie "Silly Duke" as his
popularity waxed or waned.
Sir Richard Steele was commonly
called by his detractors "a twopenny
author, in consequence of his publish
ing at twopence that famous weekly
journal, The Tdttler. In addition to this
he was often referred to by Addison as
Little Dicky."
George SaviIle discount Halifax was
popularity known as the "Trimmer, so
designated because of his leading a
party which vacillated between the
Wings and Tories.
Sir Robert Walpole was dubbed by
his opponents the "Granl Corrupter"
and the "Leviathan, and Horace Wal
pole, i'll his letters upon Sir Robert, APP
plies to him the sobriquet of Blue
string" having reference to the blue
ribband of the Order of the Garter
which he was in the habit of wearing.
Bolingbroke bore the designation of
"High Melted Harry" Will. Pulteney,
Earl of Bath, was known as that
weather cock. A somewhat amusing
Incident is recorded of G Aorge Green
vile, who, when speaking in the house
in favor Of Dashwood financial state
ment, repeatedly asked the opposition
Where they would have Il tax laid, re-
iterating the inquiry by saying, LET
them tell me where!" To which Pitt
murmured the line of a well known
song, Gentle Shepherd, tell me where"
1t was long before Greenville lost the
nickname of "Gentle Shepherd"
Horace Walpole was nicknamed by
Wordsworth the "Frenchilied Cox
comb" and was frequently referred to
by Disraeli as the Puck in Literature"
owing to his literary fabr.catjoas. Lord
Liverpool was called Ly Goblet "Pinll
Nose"

Why Cats Are Thin.

Lagrange's Philosophy gives some
peculiar facts as to why cats are the
bony creatures they always seem to be-
Have you ever inquired how it is that
cats can combine with their proverbial
idleness such great agility? asks the
writer. Muscular inaction leads just as
much in other kinds of animals as in the
human species to obesity; the dog which
does not hunt the horse kept in the
stable, becomes fat and sluggish.
Wild animals even, if kept in cage,
where they are forced into the repose of
domestic life, rapidly lose their slender
ness of figure and their ease of move
ment
Why does the cat escape the ordinary
law, and why in spite of the fact that
it rarely moves, does it seldom become
fat, as does dog or horse under similar
circumstances
1t is because its inability is not that of
inaction, and its nerves are working
while it's muscles seem at rest. Like the
fencer waiting the moment to attack,
the cat is constantly ready to spring. 1t
is always watching something-a rat, a
fly, or joint of meat.
A drawing room cat makes only three
OF four springs in the course of day,
but each of them has been preceded by
two or three hours of latent work.
When we believe that the animal is
engaged in happy dream, it is meditat-
ing capture, calculating the distance
of its spring and holding its muscles in
readiness for anything that may happen.
Hence it is never taken by surprise.
If a little bird escape from the cage, it is
caught and eaten in three seconds. The
cat has been watching it for a week.
When it seemed asleep it was lying In
wait,

A Monster Weighing Machine.

What is claimed to be the largest
weighing apparatus in the world has
just been completed and tested by a
Liverpool concern. 1t is of the railway
type, and is so constructed that the wear
and strain upon the bearing centers is
reduced to minimum. At the trial of
the machine weights to the amount of
100 tons were placed upon the platform,
and so delicate was the poise of the ma
chine that the beam was noticeably dis
turbed by the removal of one pound
weight The machine was built for a
large North of England shipbuilding
concern, and it will be used chiefly in
weighing heavy marine boilers and other
massive machinery.

BOYDS Vets BOWLED.

The veterans Of the Boyd Club were at
Dukes alleys last night. They permitted
the Junior bowlers to tackle the avonia'
on the previous nights, and the juniors
had won only one of the two games. Tnat
kind Of progress was too slow to attain
first place In the Jersey City Amateur
Bowling League, and the vets concluded
their services were necessary to capture
the honors, They had out their pest

sters how they must bowl to win
the pennant, or gracefully retire ana
surrender the championship to the Cour
House bowlers. The crowd squeezed and
showed to secure positions OF advantage,
as they were eager to see the exhlDltion
by the Boyds. The game they concluded
was over as far as results were
concerned, aud the Dolitties
would indeed do little against their
formidable adversaries; The poor pm

If the shooting of e. d. Fulford on
Thursday at Marion, N. j., bordered upon
the phenomenal, yesterdays work on the
same grounds wa marvellous. Had
any one offered a bet of $1,000
against 500 0 that Captain Br ever
would have been beaten in two straight
races. the bet would undoubtedly have
been taken by scores of men. Yet that
is just what happened. The re-
doubtable Captain has met his
match at last. and been defeated in
two straight contests by scores or
100 to SO in the first and so to So in the
second. Even the miss of Fulford's, his
nine-ifth bird, was so hard hit
with both barrels that it fell dead
not a dozen feet over the fence,
which was the back boundary. Had
London Gun Club rules governed instead
of Nottingham rules the bird would have
been scored a Kill. One of Brewers lost
