1t used to be jestingly said that the
name Of MOhammed was invoked for
all purposes. even down to the itinerant
fruit seller, whose cry was, "In the name
Of the prOphet-tigs." But it appears to
be tho practice for enterprising and
pushing British manufacturers to have

place Arabic inscriptions on their wares,

the sultan has lately issued the follow

ministration: Having learned that Ger

One Child's Dream.

Harriet Maltineau relates that, Of her
many childish fancies, perhaps none
was so terrible as a dream she had at
four years old. Il dreamed" she says,
that we children were taking a walk
with our nursemaid. Out of the public
house there anne a stag with prodigious
antlers. Passing the pump, it crossed
the road to US and made a polite bow,
with its head on one side, and with a
scrape of one foot; after which it pointed
with its foot to the public house, and
spoke to me, inviting me in. The maid
declined, and turned to go home. Then
came the terrible part.
by the time we were at our own door
it was dusk, and we went up the steps
in the dark; but in the kitchen it was
bright sunshine. My mother wa stand
ing at the dresser, breaking sugar, and
she lifted me up and set me in the sun,
and gave ME a bit Of sugar. Such was
the dream which froze me with horror!
shall say Why concludes the mar
rator, looking back from her strong
minded maturity to that wildly reraem-
bered childish dream, and utterly I'M
able to understand what the fright was
abOut."-ArgOSy.

DiscouraginS the Use of Tobacco.

Professor Smith, formerly of Bowdoin
college, did not like to have the students
chew tobacco during recitations and
took effectual means to break up the
practice. A boy who was called upon
to recite one day, not expecting to be
pulled" as the saying goes, on the next
day in succession, would go into the
class and chew tobacco during the hour.
Whenever .'Cosine" noted this he vas
morally certain to ask that student a
few questions. and by keeping him up
fifteen minutes or SO would manage to
put him in a position where he would
either have to swallow a copious amount
of tobacco or else choke. Such vigorous
treatment had a beneficial effect.-Lew-

A Peeress Whose Title Went Back to 1894.
By the death Of the Dowager Lady
Falmouth her eldest son, the present
Lord Falmouth, succeeds to one Of the
most venerable titles in the English
peerage. The barony of LIE Despence-
was created by writ of summons in 1864,
and the name Of Hugh LIE Despencer
was Of historic note in the reigns of Ed
ward Ii and Edward III. The barony
being a barony by writ was transmissi-
bic, where male heirs failed, in the fe-
male line, and a succession of heiresses
carried the title of LIE Despencer in the
families of Beauchanp, Nevill, Fame
and Stapleton. After three centuries of
allegiance it was revived in favor of Sir
Thomas StapietOn, who became Lord Lee
Despencer in 1888.
The eldest son died in his fathers life
time, leaving al only daughter, Mary
Frances StapletOn, who on her grand
fathers death became Baroness lie. De
spencer in her own right. The little
heiress was then only nine years old,
and she was the only young lady who
ever made her debut in society already
a peeress in her own right. Lady LIE
Despencer soon bestowed her hand, her
heart and her beautiful place, Mere
worth, near Maidstone, IN a young bar
%rister, Mr.. Evelyn Boscawen, who short
ly after became Lord Falmouth and
lived to be so well known in the racing
world.
The venerable title of LIE Despencer
thus became merged in the superior
though much more modern dignity of
Viscount Falmouth, and there it must
remain unless some future Lord Fal-
mouth shall have daughters only. In
that case the viscounty of Falmouth be-
ing, like the common run of modern
peerages, transmissible only in the male
line, will pass to the nearest male heir.
If there are more daughters than one
the barony Of LIE Despencer will fall
into allegiance among them, and if there
is only one she will blossom out as Bar
oness LIE Despencer, and if she marrics
will carry away the title into her hus-
bands family. London Letter.

Great Men from an Accident.

The history Of a certain American
family furnishes several examples of a
beneficent result of disabling accidents.
The young son of a farmer in a small
town in Massachusetts had his hand
crushed in his fathers cider mill, and
being thus untitled to gain his livelihood
by farming was sent in due time to the
academy to commence a preparation for
a professional life. He died a member
Of the United States senate.
A boy who belonged to another branch
of the same family, in the vicinity of
Boston, cut his knee badly and was long
confined to the house. His kind pastor
supplied him with books, and perceiving
that he had a natural aptitude for study
taught him Latin and finally induced
his parents to send him to college.
The young man was graduated at Har-
ward and became a minister of the Cos
army Of 1912; another served his coun-
try in congress.
The son who entered college had six
sons who were college educated men, all
prominent in their profession-one a
judge OF the superior court of New
Hampshire and another a professor for
forty years IN a New England college
and eminent as an author.
All this life of education and useful
ness, excluding through three genera
tons. may be said to have started Ill d
little boys cutting his leg!-Youth's

Cranes All Winter.

Fresh grapes can be had all through
the winter at a trihing expenditure of
care and attention. The grapes should
be cut when just ripe, with several inches
of stem on each bunch, and then be
placed in paper boxes, with a layer of
crumpled newspaper underneath and
another above them. The punches should
not touch, and the grapes should not be
piled in the box. Keep them in a cool,
dry room-not in the cellar, the damp
ness there is sure to spoil them-and
with care to prevent their freezing they
will be as eatable in February as in
October. Interview in st. Louis Globe
