AWFULLY CONFUSING.

A young English man, a reporter on one
of the dailies in the city, relates this as
one of his early experiences:
81 was sent up to interview a fellow
by the name Of Hayes, don't you know,
who was stopping at an uptown hotel.
"The slip was given by the city edi-
tor read:
"'See eX-President Hayes at the
Hotel, and get something about his plans
in New York.
L found the hotel and sent up my card.
l was recei 5ed quite nicely by Mr. Hayes.
He told me what he was going to do, and
then, as l wanted to make my story com
plete, I asked him what he was ex-presi-
dent of.
HE told me he was eX-President
the United States. 1t was awfully
confusing, don't you know" con-
cludes the young Englishman, plaintive-
ly, "but there are so many ex-Presidents
over here"

SPELLING REFORM.

Among the changes in spelling and
nomenclature which the Government
boards on geographic names suggests for
use in all official documents and publica-
tons, are many Russian names of places
in Alaska, which are simplified by the
omission of useless letters, as Amchitka
for Amitkhitka, Amullta for Amoughta,
Boring for Behring, etc. Several names
in common use are changed TO conform
with international usage; as Baluchistan
Asia Beloochistan, Barbados for Barba-
does, Chile for Chill, Hongkong for Hong
Kong, Kamerun for CAMERON, Kongo
for Congo, Oudh Qndia) for Dude, Puer-
to Rico for Porto Rico, Salvador for San
Salvador, etc. Some names of places in
the United States are corrected, and in
cases where locations have two OF more
names, one is selected as official. The
Board is permanent body appointed by
the President, and Professor Thomas c.
Mcdonald, of the coast survey is chair
man. His associates represent several
of the departments at Washington.
Doubtful cases of photography and no.
menclature will be referred to them, and
from time to time they will issue bulle
tins of corrections for use in the depart
ment. 1t would be gain if the schools
and the press generally would follow the
Governments geographical standard of
names. -.Sgrinlfeld Union.

A FARMER STATESMAN.

As the squire strobe through the cor

says the Nashville, (Tenn.1 Herald, he
met one of his constituents, who had

MALARIA

Literally means bad air. Poisonous
germs arising from low, marshy land, or
from decaying vegetable matter, are
breathed into the lungs, taken up by the
blood, and unless the vital fluid is puri-
fed by the use of a good medicine like
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the unfortunate
victim is soon overpowered. Even in
the more advanced cases, where the ter
rible fever prevails, this successful med
icine has effected wonderful cures.
Those who are exposed to malarial or
other poisons should keep the blood
pure by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla.

NO DIVORCE WANTED.
st. Louis Woman Angered by Her Law
yer's Laughter.

From the st. Louis Republic.
A well-snown st. Louis lawyer was called on
one day during the past week by a lady whose
name Is not unfamiliar to the readers of the So
ciety columns OF the newsp apers and consulted
on the subject of divor She was not quite
clear in her own mind as to whether she
wanted q divorce or not, and, even after she
had been told just what steps were necessary in
the ordinary case, she seemed to be in puzzled
frame of mind. With delicacy characteristic
of limbs of the law whose practice takes them
into the divorce courts, the legal light under
took to find out what it was she was holding
back, and finally said to her:
You will have to tell me all the facts if YOU
want me to take your case. cannot proceed
in the dark, and plainly see something is on
your mind that you have not yet told me-"
Yes, there Is. she said, land. in fact am

and of course there will have to be two di-
yorces in order to set me entirely free"
The lawyer laughed. In fact he laughed so
long and so heartily that the lady got mad and
founced out of the Office. vowing she would
not have a divorce; that she had rather fight il
out with her twice-married husband than be
laughed at by a LAWYER.

MAKING REAL ESTATE.

How q Chicago Man is Rapidly Increasing
His Wealth.
From the Chicago Tribune
young business man in town recently
bought strip of land along the lake shore in
Lake View, and short time afterward moved
up into the vicinity of the land. His friends
say that he did it 80 that he could watch the
land, but this he denies. However, he has q
good eye for the main chance
1T isn't a big strip" he said, ''but it gives
me riparian rights, that is why bought it. VI
Going to fill imp he was asked
mo. The waves are making half Q foot q
month for me by washing up refuse"
This to show that he had o good business
head. 1t was rumored in real estate circles
that he got out on the shore in the morning
with hoe and a rake and pulled in everything
that got within reach, but this could not be
verified. The following, however can be:
He was standing at the window one morning
looking over his land when he suddenly startled
his wife by exclaiming excitedly:
"Great Scott! There are lot Of boys on nv
land playing sailor!''
"What of it2' his wife asked innocently.
What of it!' he cried. ''What of it! WHY,
they're digging harbors on my riparian rights.
Wait minute and I'll fix it,
He grabbed his hat and rushed out.
did you settle it?' asked his wife when be
returned moment later.
20, yes, he replied, with the air Of q man who
had done a good stroke of business. '.It's all
right now. Itold 'em that that was no way to
play sailor in Chicago; that they ought to
build piers to land their boats at, and now
they are building piers and making more land
for me every minute"
That's the eye for business some men have.

THE NEW MINISTER'S PISTOL.
He Was Ready to Fire Christianity Into His
Maynard Hearers.


From the Puyallup Citizen.
Rev. J. G. Willet. the new Presbyterian min
is.er has made his advent into Puyallup in a
manner that will at once command the respect
necessary to make him popular among the old
timers of this quite lately wild and woolly
west. While H. c. Stevenson, the brakeman on
the o'clock Tacoma train, was removing the
parsons trunk from the baggage car, the jar
of the receptacle discharged 44-caliber plains
mans revolver which was in the trunk, and the
unfortunate brakeman received the charge in
the left ribs The incident has been the talk of
the town today, and there are many theories
floating about the streets as to how the
weapons would figure in the reverend gen.
tleman's ministry at Puyallup. Some cay
that he is fond of the chase, and that the
weapons are relics Of hunting days. others that
he is going to take firm stand in church mat
tiers and will not be monkeyed with in matters
pertaining to his salary and church benefits.
and yet others that he is going to actively Join
the campaign against the Club Theater. And
it is significant fact that Bill johnson, its
proprietor, left the city last night and has not
since been heard from. But for all this
preacher has rs many rights in regard to
weapons as any other citizen in free America,
though it is a curious freak of fate that the
only pious young man on the road force in
this division of the Northern Pacific railroad
should be shot in the ribs by the accidental
discharge of a revolver in q parsons trunk,

SOME FUN ABOUT SCIENCE,
The Smithsonian Institution Finds Amuse-
ment in Letters 1t Gets.


The Smithsonian institute "a could add very
interesting department of literary curiosities
to its exhibits by making judicious selection
from the letters which it receives from all parts
Of the world. There seems to be a somewhat
widespread impression to the effect that the
National Museum is some sort of place
OF entertainment resembling a dime mu-
scum more or less in character. At
all events, communications are constantly re-
ceived from various quarters Offering such in
teresting contributions for sale as two-headed
calves and other freaks of nature, such as
Japanese mermaids, four-legged infants in al
cohol, &c. Living freaks likewise offer their
services for engagement at SO much per week.
Circassian ladies, fat ladies' skeleton gentle
men and variety performers Of all sorts solicit
contracts for their appearance at the museum in
their particular and unrivaed specialties.
People outside of Washington appear to form
the most varied notions as to the functions OF
the institution. One man wrote the other day
profering a sure remedy for ingrowing toe
nails. and another one said that he was lobster
fisherman and, owing TO some confusion in his
syntax, made it out that his wife was a lobster
also. The funniest mistakes are made in ad-
dressing the Smithsonian. few of these have
been saved and put together recently. They
make a very interesting list. smith Onion

From the Globe Democra..
Gen Banks story about his war charger. -
said Pension Attorney Bond, recalls to mind
one Hooker rode in 1868, and especially at the
battle of Charlottesville. Few people know
how Hooker came by that horse. l will tell
you. When Sickles' corps was camped on

branch and about quarter of a mile above
the residence of Fred Douglass, Happened one
day, while out foraging for some thing to eat,
had been hidden in the pines by his master.

who was a connoisseur Of horseflesh no sooner
put his eyes on him than he recaptured him
from me. L made no remonstrance, however
as the horse was of no use to me.
"A few days later the owner Of the Arabian
came into camp. identified his horse and
claimed him. Sickles held that he was n con-
tscated horse, and refused to give him up.
Then the owner went TO Secretary Stanton for
relief, and made affidavit that he was a loyal
man, and came back to the camp with the order
from stanton to Sickles to deliver the horse.
In the meantime the horse had disappeared.
He turned up, however, in New York city a
few days later as the property Of Geo. Wilkes
but neither Stanton nor the horses owner was
aware of these facts. When tine matter was
quieted down one day an item appeared in the
papers that George Wilkes had presented q
thoroughbred Arabian war charger to Gen.
Hooker.
THAT was how the horse came into Hooker's
possession and how he came to ride him at the
battle OF Charlottesville. He was one Of the
finest specimens Of his race, and when seated
on him Gen. Hooker was not only the best
mounted officer in the Union army, but he wa

Don't use tho feminine gender in speaking
of parrot that you have seen, says an ex-
change. 1t is extremely unlikely that you ever
saw q female parrot. The females are not
nearly SO handsome as the males, their vocal
ability Is only on par with that Of the female
canary birds, and they don't breed in our
climate. Hence they are not imported. You
see, then, that it is a misnomer to call your
parrot Polly. Tho first parrot seen in Eng
land was brought there by q sailor Who. know
ing nothing about the birds sex, named il
Polly in honor Of his sweetheart. This name
has strangely stuck to the SPECIES, and has led
most people to speak Of the parrots We zee as
they were females: And don't make the
greater blunder Of saying poll parrot" unlesa
you have some reason for particularising the
fact that You are talking about bird that has
not been beheaded. Poll simply means head.
