Comfy Names.

County names in the New England
and middle Atlantic states are almost
exclusively of English or Indian ori-
gin In the border states of the
south they are chiefly English. In
the gulf states English and Indian,
with French in Louisiana and traces
of Spanish origin in Florida and
Texas In the Mississippi valley they
are again of English and Indian orr
gin, with some French names COM
ing down from the Jesuit explorers.
In the Rocky mountain states they
are again English and Indian, with a
larger proportion of the latter than
elsewhere, and on the Pacific coast
Spanish county names again crop
out. Texas has Deaf Smith coun

name having been fixed upon an i'm

A Story Once Told by Lowell.

Something happened one day in
James Russell Lowell'S office which
suggested the following: There was
a time, some 60 years ago, when the
fastest sailing ships in the world were
built in the ship yards of New Eng
land. About that time an American
clipper and an English yacht We're
entering the harbor of Genoa to-
gether, and there was race between
the clipper and the yacht, and the
clipper Won in the race. When the
two vessels were IN port, the owner
of the English yacht, a person of
polished manners, came on board the
American and very handsomely con-
graduated the captain of the clipper
upon his achievement, which he said
was all the more remarkable in view
of the fact that it was the first time
that his yacht had ever been beaten.
The liberal minded old Yankee cap
tain replied: We'll, now, that's curl
Gus. It's the first time the Polly Ann
ever beat anything. "-E. S. Nadel in

A Suggestion For a President.

"A Suggestion kre8IOent
A story is told that the late r. B.
Hayes had for neighbor in Ohio a
testy old fellow who ran a small
truck farm. He was honest and up
right, and Mr.. Hayes held him in
high esteem, Notwithstanding his
lack of the social amenities and re-
spect for persons. On one of his Wis
its to Ohio during the presidency,
he passed the old mans farm and
found him planting potatoes in
patch near the road. The president,
being somewhat of farmer himself,
noticed some popularity in his neigh
boris style of planting, and after
few minutes chat he called attention
to it, and the old man argued the
point awhile.
after ALL" concluded the presi-
dent, Il don't think you are doing it
as it should be done for the best re-
suits"
The old farmer rested his arm on
the fence and looked steadily at Mr..
Hayes

said, above havin fault found with
US; but eff you jest go on presidentin
the United States your way, an l go

pleasantly and passed on.-Detroit

CHICAGO HERALD, a laborer in
the employ of the queen of England
has been sued for debt. He testified
that he received only 10 shillings a
week and was unable to make both
ends meet. He also volunteered the
information that the queens laborers
received less than other people and
had to work harder. All said the
judge, ''but you must think of the
honor" to which the man sturdily
replied: There isn't much honor
to get out of 10 shillings a week.

We were to meet here with the birds and bees,
As on that Sabbath underneath the trees
We strayed among the tombs and stripped away
The vines from these old GRANTEES, cold and
And yet indeed not grim enough were they
To stay our kisses smiles and ecstasies
Or closer, voice lost vows and rhapsodies.

Might Jar the dazzling dew down showeringly?
Has she forgotten life-love-every one
Has she forgotten me-forgotten me9
Low, low down in the violets press
My lips and whisper to her. Does she hear,
And yet hold silence, though call her dear,
Just of old, save for the tearfulness
OF the chnched eyes and the souls vast dis

Has she forgotten thus the old cares
That made our breath q Quickened atmosphere
That failed nigh unto swooning with the sheer
Delight? Mine arms clutch now this earthen
heap
sodden with tears that flow on ceaselessly
As autumn rains the long, long, long nights
weep
In memory of the days that used to be
Has she forgotten these? And in her sleep
Has she forgotten me-forgotten me?
Tonight, against my pillow, with shut eyes,
mean to weld our faces-through the dense,
Incalculable darkness make pretense
That she has risen from her reveries
To mate her dreams with mine in marriages
OF mellow palms, smooth faces and tense ease
OF every longing nerve of Incidence

Boards and NIustaches In China.

Chinese common law forbids man
to preside in a court of justice, in
other words to be a mandarin of rank,
unless he has a decent pair of mus
taches. This law forces many ambi-
tious men who are naturally beard
less to go to the Chi Now Shi Foo to
make brand new faces for them.
From this it can be seen that there is
no excuse and none is tolerated in
China for beardless faces or bald
heads in cases where it is necessary
for those parts of the body to be Gov
cred with hair
Advertisements are often seen in
American papers for removing hair,
but never for planting it. 1t is pos
sible that in this, as in so many other
inventions, the heather are ahead of
the Christians. Chin Foo in

Deafness Cannot be Cared

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the eustachian tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ING, and when it Is entirely closed
deafness is the result. and unless the
inflammation can lie taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases. out of ten are caused
by catarrh. which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.

Why do the physicians of the Scott

In reply we would say. We have

but because we can treat diseases of
the throat. lung and catarrh to bet
ter advantage now than at any other
time of the year. Our disadvantage
has been we did not have the facili-
ties for treating the great number of
cases thronging our offices. We have
dozens OF patients who have 10 wait
until 10 y. m. 10 receive their treat

remained unburied for so years. He
had been a confederate soldier and
was killed at Murfreesboro. His
mother declared she could not part
with her boy, and that he should not
be buried until death claimed her
also. Embalming was not common
