Na1nes and businesses.

There is at times peculiar coinci-
dence as regards the name of man
and his business. Such an appropriate
ness Of name to calling is frequently
quite accidental. Sexton Brothers.
Undertakers and Upholsterers," is the
wording of sign at Long Branch, and
dressmaker on Clinton street, New
York, bears the name of N. Nadel (the
German for needle). To those who un.
derstand German, Schneider will seem
an equally appropriate name for dress
maker, and there are plenty of butchers
In town named Metzger, while at least
one barber glories in the name of Scheer-
or. But it seems odd that BaeckeI
should deal in meat, or that even an
Avenue A. Barber should sell beer.
However, when we hear Of Taylor q
Cutter" firm of clothiers, or find that
s'Stickwell & Co." are mucilage makers,
there is strong suspicion Of an inten-
tional manufacture of appropriate firm
names And that story about the bro.
ker firm Of IT. Ketcham g. /. Cheatham'
has been told so often that one hardly
knows whether to credit it or not.-New

The world has seen its iron age and it

We are making SO many things of pape

paper there is nothing made We liv,

and sit on paper cushions in paper car.

Bergen. Norway, we could go on Sun

We do a paper business over paper
counters, buying paper goods, paying fol
them with paper money, and deal IL
paper stocks on paper margins. We row
races in paper boats for paper prizes
We go to paper theaters where paper
actors play to paper audiences.
As the age develops the coming man
will become more deeply enmeshed in
the paper net. He will awake in the
morning and creep from under the pa

He will organize paper enterprises and

He will sail the ocean ON paper steam.

with paper pencil, whittle paper sticks

Having lived his paper life and achieved

About What to Eat.

If asked what / would place of high
est Importance in family diet l would
answer without hesitation abundance OF
fruit. The apple is far more invaluable
than we have yet estimated. It should
be eaten before meals, and not after.
Not q member of my family, myself in
cluded, but eats one, two or more before
breakfast SO long rs they are obtainable,
and as many before dinner--about hall
an hour before the meal. As soon as the
fruit is begun we stop all study or work,
and spend the half hour In sport OF
walking OF conversation.
After meals we rest in the same man
ner for one hour. No child is allowed
to study during this time. Nothing is
lost, for the head is thus kept out OF
conflict with the stomach. Cereals, next
to fruit, are of prime Importance.

fraudulent Jewels.

Since solutions of aniline dyes possess
the property Of imparting to genuine
jewels AZ well as glass paste a deep,
rich color If left long enough immersed
In them, and since they possess also the
property of imparting precisely the char
acteristic color of genuine jewel, the
swindler has it not only In his power to
/ dye cut glass paste, but also inferior cut
gems, of the color of a ruby, an emerald
or sapphire, since fuchsine is the hand
soonest ruby red shade, while bleu de
Paris initiates absolutely that of the
sapphire, and aniline green that of the
emerald.
Such q fraud, however, can be made
still more complicated by using genuine
of colored rubies, sapphires OF emeralds
and dyeing them with the correspond.
ingly aniline dyes. thereby raising their
value tenfold. It is exceedingly diff
cult to recognize this fraud, because the
color of such well corroded jewel can
no longer be washed off. even with hot
water. Only the bleaching power Of
sunlight might after time assist in re-
vealing the swindle.--Jewelers' Circu-

Csntraliaasion Of Government.

The history of the federal govern.
ment is one, of growing strength and in
duence. The difference between the
intention of the founders of the system
and of the existing fact is nearly as
great as that between the opinions OF
Jefferson and moderate Federalists.
From the first organization of the gov.
ernment to the present time there has
been almost steady advance toward
Capitalization. This advance has been
both aided and retarded by the supreme
court; but in the legislative branch OF
the government and in the popular mind
the proportions of the federal govern.
ment have constantly grown larger. II
has not been the tendency of the people
of the republic to strengthen the local
government at the expense of the general
government. On the contrary, the gen
eral government has grown at the cost
Of the states. Henry L. Nelson in Har

imaginary line drawn from the Cash

Chinese province of Szechutn, where it
adjoins the southeastern border of the
territories of the Delai Lama.
They were upward of ten months in
Thibet and great part of their journey
lay through a series of elevated table
lands, seldom lower than $1,000 feet
above the sea level. On approaching
Lhassa they were turned back when

A New Lifeboat.

The self righting lifeboat is expected
here soon ON its way to Ilwaco. These
boats right themselves in ten seconds
after being capsized. The boat expected
here is thirty feet long, seven feet beam
and three feet deep, caravel built and
with air chambers at bow and stern, COW

culiar features in the construction are
the presence of false bottom, which
runs from stem to stern precisely al

circular gratings, into which, if neces

sides, just about midships, there are long
flaps working on hinges which, wher

HOW Wade Hampton Used Cirars.

Wade Hampton never smoked cigars
in a rational way like the rest of man
kind, Instead, he took the cigars as he
bought them and crushed them to pow
der between the palms Of his hands and
made use Of the fragments as the old
regime use snuff. The coarse bits were
thrown away, and In the military COM
mittee room, of which he was 80 long
an occupant, there was always a pile Of
cigar shavings on the floor beside his
chair. The finest cigars In the market
were none too good to be treated this
way, and more than one genuine cigar
smoker has been moved to expostulation
as he has seen Hampton dispose Of fine
weed in such an unceremonious way
