Names and businesses.

There is at times peculiar coinci-
dence rs 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 lthe
German for needlel. To those who UNI
derstand German. Schneider will seem
an equally appropriate name for dress
maker, and there are plenty of butchers
IN town named Metzger, while ut least
one barber glories i'll the name Of Scheer
er. But il seems odd that Baecker
should deal in meat, or that even an
Avenue A. Barber should sell beer.
However, when we hear of Taylor 81
Cutter" firm of clothiers, or find that
''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 II. Ketcham & /. Cheatham'
has been told so often that one hardly
knows whether to credit it or not.-New

The FIRST glimpse we get Of an eastern
walled city unfolds at once memories Of
our childhood days, which have perhaps
never been awakened since, and the pic
lures of our childish books, which inn
pressed themselves so wildly upon o.s
minds, are reproduced in the bright col
ors of old, when we are brought face to
face with the quaint battlements and
the dark gateways, with the accessories
Of bright burning sunshine and tur-
baned figures and professions of camels
and the listless calm Of the tropical land.
Such old cities are still ~ be seen in In
dia, still walled in the old fashion and
still peopled by the figures of the Biblical
picture book.
= Closely akin to them are those walled
towns standing ON the canals of mid
China, passing through which, say at
/ the close of day, when every tower and
every roof stands out clearly cut against
/ the brilliant western sky and we are

with spear and probably wearing
armor, the illusion is complete, and for
the moment we find it hard to realize
that we are travelling ut the end of the
Nineteenth century.
Even in much changed Japan there
are old cities which still retain their wall,
of the age of feudaiism, and in the very
heart Of the capital the imperial palac,
is surrounded by the same quaint forti
fcations which in old troublous time
