ONE LUCKY LETTER.
A Number of the Most Noted Names in
History Begin With G.


There are people who are always search
Ing for condolences and placing great stress
upon lucky" and ''unlucky'' combinations
of circumstances. To individuals so consLi-
tuted the suggestion is offered that the Sc
lection of Gresham to fill the distinguished
position of Secretary Of State adds another
to the list of ''lurky" men whose names be-
gin with the letter &C." This letter is not
the most conspicuous in the alpha bet, but it
seems to be good letter to have for last
initial Sensible people, of course, reject
all such theories as entirely fanciful, yet
considerable evidence might be brought for
ward in this case to convince the credulOus.
Let US consider how many oil the leaders in
American and European affairs during the
past half century are indexed under &c"
The list includes: Grant, greatest of our
generals; Greeley, his presidential rival and
the most distinguished of American journal
lists; Garfield, President and political leader
for years before his election; Gould, the
wizard of Wall street" Gompers, head of
the federation of labor; Garrison and Gid
dngs, of anti-siavery fame; Gibbons, the
head of his church in the United States;
Cough, the remarkable temperance cru
sader: and a hUst of men who have
won more or less political promi-
nence, Ike the Grays, German, Gres-
ham. Gordon. Garland, the Georges
and the three worthy Democrats of The

navy has its Gherardi and the army will
not forget DR.. Gatling's gun. Gottschalk,
the composer, and Gilmore, the band-leader,
may also be mentioned, while Asa Gray and
President Gilman deserve a high place
among the scholars of the century. In
Europe one name comes quickly to the mind,
that OF Gladstone. France contributes to
the list Gam BETA, Grevy and Goblet. Giers
directs Russia's foreign policy as GOrts-
chakOtf did before him, while Giolitti holds
the reins in Italy. Among the Europeans
of note. GOlnod. Gilbert, Gerome, Geffcken

Queer Notions of Banking.

as to banking" said James +. Wells, an Eng
lishman who has lived in the City of Mexi-
CO for the past ten years. Remarkable and
incredible as the statement may seem, one
OF the leading bankers in the City of Mexico
told me not long ago that the rich men
of that city have upward of $500, 900, ,000
boarded up in safes, cellars and various out
of-the-way places. 1t is a startling state.
ment, but 1t is absolutely true, and money
is constantly being taken ont Of circulation
and boarded up in that manner. These
gentlemen have, as say, some very limited
notions concerning the banking business.
Some OF them have been known To hoard
up vast sums in the shape of bankbills. and
at the same time losing sight of the fact
that had they deposited this money in the
bank IL would be drawing per cent inter-
est all the while 1t was there. 1t is shame
that such vast amounts Of money are per-
mitted to lie idle"

understood the motion and fell upon the
author, biting him terribly. 1t was impos-
sible to make the brute loosen his hold on
Pietsch's arm, and Nine. Cohnheim was
obliged to kill the dog with a revolver.

with having set fire to his house on Pico

others who reside i'll the neighborhood, to
the effect that there were three separate

two hours alter these we're extinguished fire
broke out again. which destroyed the house.
They also stated that Francis and his wife
appeared Indifferent and made no effort TO
put out the blaze, and prevented others
from trying 10 save the furniture. The
testimony OF one witness for the prosecu-

Ihirty-third Degree in Spelling Bees.

"Dacryocystosyringok okatakleisis" is real
word. 1t appears to be used in surgical
circles, although 1t is doubted whether 1t is
familiar 1t is in the new medical cyclo
pedia published by the Appletons. which is
in the possession Of many of our physicians
and surgeons. The word rests upon the
following Greek words, as well as we can
express them in the absence Of the Greek
type: Dakrer, tear; Kustis, sack !;
surigx (snrinx). fstula, and katsleisis,
closure. 1t means an operation proposed
by Deffanhsch for the healing Of lacfymal
fstul@ (of the eye). 1t consisted in parting
the edges of the fistuia. dssecting uD the
skin around the opening and uniting the
lips OF the wound by sutures, assisting the
sliding Of the skin fans by lateral incisions
through The skin. The cyclopedia adds
that the name and the operation are now
obsolete-a fact which should make man
kind happier.
