The Evolution OF Names.

The evolution of names from foreign
tongues into English is in many cases
easy. From the German Bauer to the
English Bowers, and from the Frenc!
Boulanger to the English Bullinger is
but a step, as it were. But there are no
people who are oftener more humorously
accused Of altering their names than the
Irish. Thus, Crehan has become Rehan:
Carroll. Karl; Dillon, Dyllyn; Diver.
Devere and Devyr; McCarty, Macartee
and Makart: Slattery, Slater and Satter-
lee; O'Brien. Obrion and Breen; McCfin-
ness, Guinness and Inness; Reilly. Rel
yea; Duffy, Dufay; McGuffin, Magoffin;
Quinn, Queen; Fogarty, Fougert; Hag-
gerty, Haggart; Sully, Soule. The Eng
Hsh singer, Braham, merely dropped a
letter when he went on the stage. He
was q Hebrew, and his real name was
Abraham.-Chicago Herald.

SOMETHING OF interest.
1T INSTRUCTIVE MISCELLANY FOR ALL
CLASSES READERS.
Peopis Who Take Omense Easily.

keOpAO WI AhNc oHeuoo H>NoAys
In this world there are certain class
of individuals who roam about with q
chip on their shoulders, daring others to
knock it off just for the luxury of in
dulging in first class quarrel. To the
gentle hammered, sweet dispositioned
ones this seems very questionable sort
Of enjoyment, yet to some wordy war
or a full fiedged feud constitutes the
chief excitement of their lives.
These people always have a quarrel on
hand. If it isn't family affair, then
outsiders must suffer. They are quick
to take offense, both in public and
private, and have no scruples about ex-
pressing themselves on paper when they
haven't chance to do so verbally. 1t is
this penchant for writing letters that
helps to keep them continually in hot
water, as the black and white characters
are decided evidence against them even
after their anger has had time to cool.
Now, if there were any sense in this
sort Of conduct, there would be some ex-
cuse for it, but there isn't, and. more
over, it makes you doubly unhappy to be
always on the outs with some one. You
may pretend not to care, but you do just
the same, and though pride and temper
keep your spirits up for time in your
secret heart you wish you had not been
quite so ready to quarrel.-New York
Commercial Advertiser.

The Expansion of Solid Bodies.

An ingenious instrument for measur-
ing the expansion of minute solid bodit
Is found in the list of inventions. The
croscope and an image of it magnified
several times is thrown ON a screen.
This image is further magnified by two
micrometer microscopes which accur-
ately determine the expansion. The
substance is heated in little platinum
oven through which an electric current
passes, and the temperature of the oven
is arrived at by observations on the
melting of standard substances By the
use Of this instrument the thermal ex-
pansion of any substance even to the
smallest diamond can be determined un-
til the temperature Of combustion is
reached.

Dancing and EARLY Art.

It may create some surprise that we
regard the dance as the earliest form of
art, or even that we allow it any place
among the fine arts. To many 1T will
seem q kind of sacrilege to combine in
the same category, however broad, such
extremes as dancing savage and a
painting Of the last judgment, and if
the connection must be made some
would choose to make it along other
lines than those of art. But, in truth,
the dance supplies with the key, SO to
speak, of the development of the fine
arts.-David ]. Hill in Popular Science
Monthly.

tree. A bulky nest was i'll a fork of the
tree about 40 feet from the ground. The
mate of the hawk which the captain had
been following was sitting on the nest.
Hoping to secure q trophy. Captain
Bendire climbed up to the nest, in which
he found a single pale blue egg. The
parent birds circled around manifesting
their anger at the intrusion by shrill
screams, but the captain took the egg.
He put it in his mouth for safe keeping.

Suddenly from his elevated perch he

yards distant. They were evidently

ground, mounted his horse and started
on a gallop for the camp, five miles dis

A Cheeky Customer.

"Ihad unique but tantalizing expe-
rience the other day" said a clerk who
works in a Kansas City hair store. "a
man came into our place and asked to
look at some false boards. OF course he
was accommodated, and he spent over
an hour going over the lot, trying them
on and e3amining himself in a glass. He
took up my time. and after he had ex-
smined everything in that line in the
store he thanked me and said he was
considering whether to raise beard or
not and wished to see how he would look

A Terrible Threat.

A janitor in a blue shirt was cleaning
the windows of a bank at Broadway and
Park place the other day after Office
hours, when a tramp came along, who,
after eying him few moments with
envy, yelled to him:
Hello, there. you chap in the bank,
can't you throw a fellow out a little
money? I'm clean broke, and almost
anything would be welcome"
The janitor went on cleaning the win
dows. He heard what the tramp said,
but wouldn't admit it.
The tramp paused few moments and
then yelled: "Come, now, don't be n hog
There must be million dollars in there,
and all you've got to do is to chuck a
bundle of it out. Are you going to do
it or aren't your"
Still no response.
The tramp began to chafe under the
calling hauteur with which he was be
ing treated.
eff you don't give me some of that
money, I'll start report that the bank :
in trouble" he yelled. IF ever there
was a first rate hog, it's you"
After 10 minutes had elapsed and no
one had taken the least notice of the
tramp he began to walk slowly away.
AS he reached the gutter he turned
round, shook his fist at the window clean
er and muttered
"When the commune is declared, any
one who wants money will only have tC
walk into a bank and ask for it. I'll be
there, my beauty, when the day comes,
and I'll point you out to the fellow citi-

HAZING AT ANNAPOLIS,

The depravity of the human heart
can hardly be better illustrated than in
the practice of hazing. The gratuitOus
atrocities of this system would not be
so surprising if practiced only by sa-
wages or by the lowest and most vicious
classes of society, but it is kept up ex-
clusively by youths who call themselves
gentlemen. This was fifty illustrated
by the recent disturbance created with
in the sacred walls of the United States
Naval Academy, at Annapolis, by a
young man from Rhode Island who,
despite of all warnings, all reasonings,
and all penalties, continued to keep up
his brutal cowardly sport.
How this custom of hazing, which is
only suitable for Sioux or Comanches.
could take such deep root in some
American colleges is beyond compre-
hensiOn. There is nothing of the kind. so
far as we know, in English, Scotch.
Irish or Canadian colleges, though the
students in some of these have. in
former times, proved very rough set.
Neither do we hear of any hazing in
Western or Southern colleges in this
country. The system seems to be con-
fined to the old and celebrated colleges
of the Eastern and Middle States, where
it should be least expected, and the
sooner it is stamped out Of them the
better. Are the secret societies clan
destinely kept up in colleges the par
ents of haZing? If so, we have another
and a very strong argument against
such associations.
The prison mirror. [volume] (Stillwater, Minn.) 1887-1894, 1893-01-05
man soul is so lost that it may not. If
yoU seek 1t, be found.
WE ARE GETTING THERE.

The granting of New Years Day by
the authorities of this prison as ga day
of privileges is equivalent to an adj
mission by those in charge of its man
agement, that we are entitled to the
confidence they are reposing on us. 1t
is evident that the present administra-
ton is proving to the convict that they
are manifestly sincere in their convic-
tions and their endeavors; and it is
hoped that we will meet them in the
same spirit, and will feel justified in
extending helping hand to carry out
their plans for the good of every man
within these walls. The Warden has
pointed out the evils under which many
of us have been suffering, set forth the
true aims of right prison discipline,
suggested what he believed would prove
an adequate remedy for the evils and
an adequate provision for the exigen-
cies of the future, and has urged upon
every man ali earnest study of the
whole question and a courageous ap-
plication of the means to attain the end
in view. Are we to make it appear to
the State that we have failed to meet
his recommendations in the spirit in
which they were offered? Are we to
allow our friends to point the finger of
derision at us and say: $50, yob have
made it retrograde rather than for
ward movement? ?" Perish the thought!
