Smith and Other Names.

A whole essay might be written-nay,
very many have been written-on the sub
iect Of surnames derived from offices and
trades. They are a spontaneous growth
wherever surnames are known especially
in those races where, as among the Celts,
Office and trade were hereditary. The COM
monest surname of all is Smith, even in
Scotland, where a pure patrOnymic-Mac-
donald-holds the second place, and an al
lusive name-Brown-the third. The Celtic
word for Smith-Gow-is common in the
Highlands, Lefevre has established itself
In England, and the Italian equivalent be-
came known 10 us through the excellence
of the blades made in the Sixteenth CEN
fury by Andrea Ferara, or Maestro Andrea
del Ferari, Of Belluno.
Macintosh bespeaks lofty descent-mac
an toseaich, the thames son; on the other
hand. in Stewart a lowly Office has been
raised 30 very high levels. 1t is, in fact,
the "stye ward" from the Anglo-Saxon
stige weard, the master, not Of the house,
but of the bogs-an important official In
DAYS when a lords wealth was reckoned
by his bestiai, and gradually transferred to
the chief officer Of the household--the
steward, seneschallus, or dapifer. When
the origin Of the name is remembered, how
trivial seem the squabbles whether it is
rightly spelled with or ". w Of course
is organic in the name and was only al
tered 80 II 90 suit the French alphabet.

Crock and Roman STYLES.

The dress of Greek and Roman ladies
never varied in cut. Generation after gem
GRAFTON, being convinced that the most
suitable cut had been discovered, wore 1t.
The only difference between one woman
and another was in the material and in the
arrangements Of colors. Why not go back
to the Greek dreSsi 1t is far prettier than
any fashion OF modern times. The reason
why this will not be done is that it is
against the interests Of a herd of male and
female extortioners who profit vastly by
keeping women in servitude. Lady Car
Isle and Lady Florence Dixie, those twin
apostlesses of female suffrage, would be
far better employed in getting women TO
dress sensibly than In endeavoring to pro-
cure for them votes and legal right 70 be
judges and members Of parliament.--Henry

CHARACTER IN HAIR.
woman May Dissemble with Eyes, Nose
and Lips, but with Hair, Never.

Woman May Dissem BILE with Eyes, Nose
and Lips, but with Hair, Never.
Said hotel man: Il start out in my
reading Of woman by her hair with the
quite generally known and accepted prin-
ciple that the finer the hair the gentler The
birth. or the better, higher grade the fam
ily stock from which she came, and hay
ing thus determined whether she is OF
gentle or rude birth, / rely upon the
amount of care which her hair shows 70
have had in order TO obtain the key 90
her mode Of life. A brilliant glossy eff
feet, even in connection with the finest
feminine hair, is the result only Of long
and most careful attention, while in the
case Of coarse hair, indicating, TO a less or
greater extent, rude birth, high degree
ofglossiness is utterly impossible.
"And now l will give you principle or
rule that you will probably laugh at, but
It stands for fact nevertheless it IS that
the closer the ends of the hair cling to-
gether when unaffected by an artificial
force, the more intellectually does the
owner possess. When the ends, and parti-
cuiariy the body, OF the hair show ten
dency TO curl, it is an infallible sign that
the owner has Inherent grace and poetic
ease of body. The straighter and less
yielding-though not necessarily harsh
the hair. the frmer and more positive IS
the woman's nature
"Treachery and jealousy hide beneath
lusterless or dead black hair nine cases
out of ten. Feminine hair that may APP
pear of the finest texture and be glossy
almost 10 brilliancy when viewed at q
little distance, but that on close examina-
ton is found TO have broken or split APP
pearance-something quite common in
ladies' hair-may be depended on TO a GER
tainty as indicating a badly unbalanced
character a woman with an excess OF eSpe-
cially queer notions, and one who, while
she may be nice enough to bow TO on
the street should be avoided as an intimate
friend. The lighter colored the hair the
more sensitive and 'touchy' the owner, ex-
cept in rare cases, where her ladyship en-
joys perfect health.
Brown hair, whatever the shade, Is al
ways, have found in my business as a
hotel man, the most pleasant and satisfac-
tory shade of hair TO have TO do with across
the hotel counter, and that's the place to
find out woman's nature. Whatever the
shade Of brown IL may be, you will find the
fact almost infallible that such hair covers
d perfect hotbed Of common sense, good
judgment and reason.
"And as for auburn hair, would trust
an auburn or redhaired woman for more
days board without her having any bag
gage than would woman with hair Of
any other color, brown locks not excepted.
and I've probably had as many redhaired
ladies for my guests as any other hotel
man in the country. Some redhaired wom-
en- are mighty impulsive and quick spoken
occasionally, but l have always found them
the possessors Of two most appreciate
traits. They are strictly honest and have
common sense, while as a general rule
they are among the brightest, the gentlest
of gentlewomen. "-Chicago Tribune.

Made HIM Finish.

Hobbies may be too conspicuous. A Bos-
ton youth on a recent trip through Arr
zona, stopped at village hotel. When
dinner was ready the tall, lank, long
haired landlord pointed TO the table and
said, "Hev a cheer pard." mo, thanks. l
never sit down to eat You have observed
that animals, even swine. stand while eat
ing"
"Waal, pardl Wizard We git that ideeS"
Excuse me, I never talk when eating
Animals do not. Our artificial way of liv-
ing is all wrong"
The landlord said nothing, but his coal
black eyes flashed and his big mustache
moved viciously. After dinner the young
man said.
"Now for bed. Always take nap af-
ter eating. Even swine do that"
Without word the landlord directed
him to a bed After an hours nap the
young man came into the Office, paid his
bill and turned to go.
Hold on pardP muttered the landlord
taking of bis coat. "Ye don't leave this
ranch till We finish"

up TO the Boston youth and seized him by

How Snakes Get Over Ground.

Although the snake appears to have no
legs or feet, it may be said 10 be practically
supplied with upward of hundred pairs
of them. In fact each joint of the back
bone bears pair of ribs, which are mobile,
and have their points attached TO the inner
surface OF one of the large transverse plate
like scales which clothe the under surface Of
the body. Thus, by the movements Of the
ribs attached TO IL, each plate can be drawn
forward and its margin applied TO the
ground. BY the successive application OF
these multitudinous plates the body can
be drawn forward il a straight line with
out It's being thrown into undulations from
side 10 side.
But rapid movements are also effected
by such fluctuations, and serpents can, by
pressure and appropriate muscular action,
climb trees and sometimes spring forward
They also swim easily by lateral textures,
but no serpents advance by vertical bend
ings of the body, though they are so often
drawn in such an attitude.-Quarterly Re
