Nearly the whole west coast of Norway
consists Of nothing but mountains upon

west Long and narrow iords penetrate
the land. Fiat fields are rather the ex-
eeption, and even where they exist their
extent is very limited; but wherever a
mower or other implement can be used To

The London Daily Neus says:-Yes-
terday at the Queens Club, kensing-
ton, an exhibition was given of the
new lawn game. Tema, which has re-
Gently been introduced. The game,
which can be played with equal en-
ioyment by both sexes, possesses
many claims to popular favor. IL can
be followed in II season, and by as
few as four and as many as fourteen
persons at once. Skill, agility and a
good eye are far more requisite than
mere physical strength, and the
proper manipulation of the wand by
means of quick wrist turns developes
and renders flexible the muscles of the
arms and wrist.
A screen of wood or canvass, fixed
on a light frame, and having in the
centre a circular aperture eighteen
inches In diameter, is erected. Behind
the hole is fixed a bag net, and the
main object of the players, who stand
some distances away, is to throw q
number of colored balls by means of
the wand into this bag. The wand
has at one end a peculiarly shaped
crook for holding the ball, but some
little skill is necessary to retain the
ball in IL for the purpose OF making
the throw.
The number OF pot balls' to be
scored by each side before it can COM
plete the first stage of the game cor
responds with the number of players
on each side. When either side has
scored the number of pot balls''
agreed upon it enters upon the second
stage, and it at once obtains a single
''zoned' ball. Whichever side then
first succeeds In scoring its ''zoned
bail" wins the game. The public ex-
hibition of the new pastime was wit
messed with interest, and a favorable
opinion Of its merits was expressed by
many OF the spectators.

selection Of Names.

People might select names for their
children with better discretion if they
were acquainted with the very ex-
pressive meanings borne by many OF
the personal designations in the
language.
j.. Some Of them have rather funny
Specifications. For example, julia
means ''mossy bearded Ursula is a
female bear Priscilla is IA little
ancient,n and Cecilia is ''dim
sighted Barbara signifies foreign"
Abel is vanity" Bernard is IA bears
heart" and Caleb is "a dog Daniel
is a Judgment OF God" and Raphael
is medicine Of Cod
Ever so many English names have
very beautiful meanings. Beatrice is
making happy Letitia is 10y"
Mabel is my lair Selma is "a night
ingale. Susan is "a lily Sarah is "a
LADY, Rebecca is faithful and
Lydia is a 'well OF water.n What is
prettier than Margaret, which signi-
fies "a pearl or than Amelia for
sincere" or than Sophia for wis
dom, n.or than Katherine for pure"
or than Adeline for "a ~princess?"
Bertha is bright" Charlotte is ''all
NOBLE" Cornelia is harmonious"
Caroline is noble Spirited Harriet
is "a sweet perfume, and Jane is "a
willow" Again, Henrietta is, prop
erly translated, "a STAR Judith is
''praising," Jemima is sweet song,"
Isabella is lair Eliza" Agatha is
good" Felicia is happy" Lucy is
constant" Muriel is ''myrrh," and
even humble sounding Bridget is
shining bright"
If these are good names for sisters,
sweethearts, wives and mothers,
equally appropriate for fathers, sons
and brothers are Nicholas, which
means victorious" David for be
loved,n Hugh for Thought" Horatio
for worthy" James for superior, :"
Thomas IA lion." and Edward for
truth keeper Philip is "warlike,"
Robert is famous. . Richard is pow
erful," Eustace is firm" Ralph is
help, " .'Charles is a man. "Mat-
thew is a gift Hubert is bright
mind and Hilary cheerful" William
stands for helm of the will" Patrick
tor "a ~nobleInan," Felix for happy"
Oliver for IAN olive" and Isaac for
laughter"
Incidentally to naming children it
is worth while to look out for the in
itials. / have known two men who
were obliged TO write themselves for
short "A. S. s." just because of their
parents carelessness. = WASHINGTON

QUAY SMARTER THAN A MINISTER
From the Neloark Evening Neics.

From he NeI0dTk Evening Mems.
The '.passing OF Quay" wouId be sig
niticant uuder any circumstances, but
when such a staunch Republican paper
as the Philadelphia Ledger takes pains to
make it apparent that 1t IS not a mere
''occuluation," the significance is deep
ened. Abiding To the matter in a sort
of Lincoln anecdote style the Ledger
says:-''Returning from church on Sun
day morning a visitor from the city said
to his host in the country, i see your
old pastor still occupies the pulpit. You
told me he had resigned We'll, that's
friend. we sent him his resignation last
fall, but he didn't accept it. "A more
d delicate way of intimating that Quay
had to give up the Craftsmanship could
not have been hit upon.

The Personal Tax villainy.

In trying to have their own very
just assessment reduced, the kearny
people make a great mistake. They
will accomplish nothing and will sim
ply waste their own and the county's
money on lawyers. Let them attack
the gross abuses in the assessment of
personal estate in this city and Ho-
boken.
If they turn their attention to
''six Million tax shirkers they will find
ample ground for fighting. The per-
sonal property of Newark is valued at
$23, 000. 600 for purposes of taxation,
and there is ample reason
tor believing that Jersey City is
equally wealthy in that respect.
Putting the figure as low as common
sense will permit, this city should pay
tax on $50, 900, 900 of personality. This
would be an increase Of $14, 600, 900,
and it would have SO important an
effect in reducing the tax rate that
Kearny would hardly have to pay
more than she originally counted on.
1t would do no harm, too, to add a
couple OF millions to the personal assess
ment of Hoboken. There is no doubt
but that city is more nearly honestly
assessed all around than Jersey City;
but Mr.. Dollard himself made admis-
sions before the County Board which
showed that the personal property of
wealthy and influential persons was
very scandalously ignored in prepar-
ing the city's valuations.
This differentiation of personality
is the very thing the State Tax Board
was instituted to abolish. If it does
not do so, it is a humbug and a sham.
Let US have it down here and have
the wealthy men, who are defrauding
the city and the county and their fell
low citizens generally, brought to
time.

oamnhelI and ALBEIT.

The Philadelphia Press has a New
York letter this morning in which it
is asserted with many confirmatory
details that Ex-President Cleveland
strongly favors the candidacy OF Gov
ernor Campbell, of Ohio, for the Pres
idency next year.
The story is that Mr.. Cleveland has
no ambition TO be President again;
that he is satisfied with his honors
and his work; that, while he acquits
David b. Hill of treachery in 1883, he
regards him as wholly unavailable as
a Presidential candidate, and that he
considers the truest policy of the
party would be the nomination of
a Western man. Further, he is de
cribed as speaking in the highest
terms of Governor Campbell as a man
and a Democrat.
All this is very possible. Mr.. Cleve-
land has shown himself wholly unseif-
ish on numerous occasions. He Is
quite capable Of suppressing his ambi-
ton. even if he had one, in the inter-
est of the party and the country, it
he believed that the nomination OF
another than he would be a step to
victory.
If Governor Campbell is elected
Governor of Ohio this year, he will at
once become the most conspicuous
candidate for the Presidency. The
ticket will probably be Campbell and
Albeit.
And won't we sweep the country
with It'll
THE high and exalted spirit OF civil
service reform in which Mr.. Fas sett is
understood by his friends to enter the
office of Collector OF the Port of New
York may be estimated from the gift
that was made him on his induction,
of a navy ~cutlass, accompanied by
