An entertainment for the benefit of
the Mining and Mechanical Institute of
town will be held at the opera house on
Saturday evening, May 20. Owing to
the low rate of tuition the institute is
under considerable expense for hall
rent, supplies, etc, and the proceeds of
the entertainment will assist it in keep
ing ahead, thereby giving the directors
an opportunity to make several improve
ments that are under contemplation.
Among the persons who will take part
in the entertainment is James Goldie,
of Philadelphia, gentleman who has a
national reputation as a comedian. The
programme will be published in full
when completed.

Samuel B. Leisenring, who was elect
ed on Monday to succeed Joseph S. Har-
ris as president of the Lehigh Coal and
Navigation Company, is son of the late
Judge John Leisenring, of Mauch
Chunk. The new president received a
thorough technical education and from a
very early period in his life has been at
the head of mining enterprises as super
lntendent, engineer and owner. From
1877 to 1884 he mined the Honey Brook
Company's coal by contract, the output
being 100000 tons yearly. 4,
In addition to this new office Mr..
Leisenring holds the presidency of the
Upper Lehigh, Midvalley and Moosic
Mountain Coal Companies, and the Vir-
ginia Coal and Iron Company. In addi-
ton he is director of the Pioneer Min
ing and Manufacturing Company, of
Alabama, and the Nescopeck Coal Com
pany, member of the coal firms of T.
M. Fighter & Co., Lesenring & Co., and
M. s. Kemmerer & Co. Mr. Leisenring
has been director of the Lehigh Coal
and Navigation Company since 1884, and

followed by his predecessor,

Proper Names,

Whether it is well to keep single
name in family for generation after
generation may be doubted from sew
eral points of view, but certainly this
multiplication of Georges and Williams
is confusing and of small utility. Young
George and old George invariably re-
suit from the fond parents desire to
perpetuate mis- own name, and no special
good comes about in majority Of cases,
Let us have moro reasonable selection
that is now customary. We need a
Matthew Arnold to inyeigh against our
"uninteresting" personal names as well
as those of our towns and cities. The
mental mediocrity and laziness that has
scattered Jenkinsvilles and Jonestowns,
Homers and Virgils indiscriminately
over the map of the United States is
simply on a par with that which seems
to take the name that comes handiest
for the individual of every succeeding
generation. Away with Angelina and
Gladys on the one hand and with Mil
tiades and Gershom on the other, and
let us have instead the good old English
names of Arthur and Harold perhaps,
and tho Biblical names Esther and Ruth.

Bishop brooks, sermons.

Bishop Phillips Brooks devotes hardly
more time to the composition Of his SER
mons than did the late Henry Ward
Beecher. Mr.. Beeeher used sometimes
to delay that essential proceeding till
Sunday morning after breakfast, and on
occasions, when in the pulpit he would
discard the material thus prepared for a
new idea that had struck him after the
services had begun. Bishop Brooks de-
votes an hour or two during tho week to
thinking about the text he has selected
for use on the approaching Sunday, and
hunts up few references, but he makes
no notes and does not even touch his
pen to paper for that purpose. But
when he is in the pulpit his discourse
flows from his lips without hesitation,
and with rapidity that strains the atten-
ton Of the congregation to the utmost.
His tendency then is to preach beyond
the limit of time set for his sermons

When not long ago statement was

year and upward by writing novels,
the statement was received with derisive
laughter. Fifty novelists making G1 900

statement, however, was made by one
who knew what he was saying. 1t is a
true statement; it represents the real
prizes of the profession.
There are in London alone, 1t is said
$4,000 people who in some branch or
other exercise the literary profession.
Fifty of them by writing novels make
over 81 900 year. The number of men
who actually live by the production Of
original work, apart from journalism in
any of its branches, is comparatively
small There are half a dozen drama

AT time when so much attention is
given to physical education, it is OF
interest to remember that Benjamin
Franklin told John Adams that he
made it point of religion to exercise.
When sixty-six years old, Franklin
wrote to his son as follows:
Exercise to prevent diseases, since
the cure Of them by physic is so pre-
carious.
1.-The quantum of each kind of exer-
else is to be judged by the degree of
warmth it produces in the body rather
than by time or distance.
There il more exercise In one miles
riding on horseback than five in a coach,
and more in one miles walking on foot
than in five on horseback; more in
walking one mile up and down stairs
than in four on Lowell floor.
"This last may be had when one is
pinched for time, as containing great
quantity of exercise in handful of
minutes.
''The dumbbell is another exercise Of
the latter compendious kind; by the use
of it l have In forty swings quickened
my pulse from sixty to 100 beats in a
minute, counted by second watch,
and l suppose the warmth generally
increases with quickness of pulse."-

A sea water bath in our own homes has
long been commonplace privilege, but
now we are approaching day when the
ingenuity Of man will make possible that
trinity of luxuries-the salt water, the
sea air and the glorious sunburn after
it, all within ones own bathroom, for
the new electric light bath browns the
complexion of the bather while it in
