Names In Ireland.

The Cornish names in Ireland are few
and far between, but evidence of an ex-
tensive Welsh immigration is forthcom-
ing in the fact that at the present day the
name Walsh-pronounced Welsh-is to be
met with in nearly every county in Ire
land. The curious settlement of Welsh
colonists in the baronies of Forth and Bar
gy, in county Wexford, who maintained
their ancient manners, customs and Ian
guage for come 400 years, no longer de-
serves the title of a peculiar people, " Civ
en- to them by Mr.. S. c. Hall in 1841, the
Forth dialect having practically died out
though many of the old family Names
Codd, Sinott, Rossiter and Walsh-ars
still very common in the neighborhood.
The Huguenots were granted letters Of
naturalization in 1874 and founded colo
MES in Dublin, Kilkenny, Portarlington,
Waterford, Cork and Lisburn. Many prom
inent and distinguished Irishmen have
borne and still bear Huguenot names,
among whom mention may be made Of
the La Touches, Trenches, La Fevres, Le-
frogs and Lefanus, of the last of whom
one may say, in the best sense, that they
are Hibernis ipsis Hiberniores. The locus
classicus for the Huguenots at the present
day is the Townland of Deerpark, near
Portarlington, where there are three fam
lilies Of Blancs who have followed the trade
Of butchers without intermission for 150
years.-London Spectator.

Eating In South America.

While travelling in South America few
years ago was forced to eat a number of
meals with party Of cart drivers in whose
company was then travelling. One night
we encamped near swamp, and our sup
per, which consisted of sliced pumpkins
boiled with bits of meat, was served in
genuine pampa fashion. One iron spoon
and two cows horns split in halves were
passed around the group, the members of
which squatted upon their launches and
freely helped themselves from the kettle.
Even in this most uncivilized form of sat
isfying hunger there is rude form of ETH
quette which the most lowly peon invaria-
bly, observes. Each member of the com
pany in turn dips his spoon or horn into
the center of the stew and draws it in a
direct line toward him, never allowing it
to deviate to the right Or left. In this way
each person eats without interfering with
his neighbor. Being ignorant of this GUS
tom, I dipped my horn into the mess at
random and flshed about for some of the
nice bits. Ny companions regarded this
breach of politeness with scowls of impa-
thence and declared that did not know
how to eat. [ apologized as well as I
could, and after being informed of their
custom ate in the prescribed fashion as
long as | remained with them.-St. Louis
Globe-D Democrat.

The Guinea Worm.

The famous guinea worm is an inhab
liant of the tropical regions of Asia anr
Africa, existing in ponds, rivers and
swamps. 1t penetrates the skin of any
portion Of the human body without being
felt, and when once it finds Judgment
grows to an enormous length. The body
of the creature seldom exceeds in diameter
that of large pin, and it inhabits the
flesh just beneath the skin. When full
grown, it is not less than 10 feet in length,
and in order to accommodate itself must
wind several times around the legs or body.
Should the guinea worm find home I'M
der the human cuticle and grow TO large
size, there is danger of modification set
ting in when the parasite bursts, as it is
sure to do sooner or later. In order to
quad against an accident of this charac-
ter, great care is exercised in extracting the
unwelcome intruder. The skin is opened
near one end Of the creature and the body
pulled out and wrapped around a small
round stick. This stick is turned yery
slowly for days, or even weeks, until the
entire worm has been extracted - St.
Louis Republic.

TIE ButtermiIk Drinkers.

"If the demand for butterlnilk increases
each year as in the last few years. said
the proprietor-of one of the largest bars in
the city yesterday, 1T will soon be rival
to beer as a popular drink Never before
has the demand for this cooling beverage
been SO great as it is this year. 1t is not
heralded and advertised by signs in sa-
looms, for the reason that there is more
money in beer. Nevertheless one would
be surprised at the large quantities con-
sumed. One bar gets away with 10 gal
Ions day, while another that I know of
uses six gallons. 1t is the great bugbear
to the, bars now, and the demand makes
them keep it, no matter how they may
seek to hold it in the background But
termllk is destined to be the drink of the
future, for among the many advantages
which are claimed for it is one that will
appeal to the vanity of men-it will not
cause flushed face nor red nose as 9TH
er drinks do, but, on the contrary, is con-
sidered good specific for both Any aft
ernoon you can find what are now derisive-
ly termed 'buttermilk brigades' lined up
in front of any of the larger bars, guzzling
buttermilk, happy in the knowledge that
it will soon erase the expensive coloring
on their faces which old King Alcohol has
painted-not in water colors either The
COW may yet, in q way, take the place of
the brewery. ''-Pittsburg Dispatch.

To Beat the Match Fiend.

Invention never fails to catch up with
the deadbeat. No patent has yet been is
sued to chain the hotel soaps to the wash
stand or anchor the hotel towel to it's
rack, but measure to hold off the too
grasping match fiend has recently taken
effect. In various drug stores and tobao-
conists is seen on the counter small 6 by
8 inches oak cabinet, with a tiny glass
plate, showing an interior filled with
matches. The arrangement is such that
only one match at time slips down into
a pair of metal bars, or jaws, whence the
man who wants a light for his cigar may
pluck it forth. Those greedy citizens who
have been accustomed to filling up their
vest pockets with matches at the purchase
of every cent cigar will now have to
avoid establishments where the one match
in-the-slot device is in operation. A long
suffering housewife suggests that these
little cabinets would fill desperate want
in many households where the too lavish
man of the family has been won't to boldly
scoop the contents of all the family match
safes and then walk off.-Louisyille Cou-
rier-Journal.

A Costly Old Violin That Made a Rich Mu.
stefan Thief.
"The loss of a genuine Stradivarius yio-
lin by musician in New York Just after
he had refused PATHS check for 81, 900 for
it brings to mind how one belonging to
Roderick Bishop was stolen and recovered
many years ago." remarked Oscar Sted-
man of Boston. Bishops sStrad' was
one of the recorded instruments and was
absolutely perfect, save for very small
piece that had been inserted in It's back.
and this repair had been performed by
master TOO. One morning he awoke to find
that the marvellous instrument had disap-
peared during the night Every conceiva-
BILE effort was made to ascertain its where
abouts without avail, and the regular de-
tectlves threw up the case. Bishop was
not satisfied, however, and went to pri-
vate sleuth, who turned out to be some.
thing of a musician.
The latter took the case and Immediate
~ assumed the occupation of peripatetio
piano tuner and instrument member. He
discovered that an old German musical
enthusiast, who had plenty of money,
lived within two squares of Bishops house
and, like all other musicians, had been
aware OF Bishops possession Of Stradi-
varius. He made up his mind to get into
the Germans house, and one day he called
and rang the bell violently. When a serv-
ant came, he demanded permission to tune
the piano. The servant called his master,
who said the piano did not need tuning.
1.-The visitor insisted that it did. He as
serted that he was compelled to pass the
house several times a day and that a dis
cordant note Of the instrument nearly set
him wild. The old German was delighted
to meet a man with such an excellent ear
and delicate sensibilities and ushered the
detective in. He fiddled with the piano
and talked music until he completely won
his hosts heart. Then they talked of vio-
Inns, and the old man grew very nervous
At last, in moment of enthusiasm, he
rushed to cupboard and came back hug
ging violin.
THAT evening Bishops Stradivarius was
returned to him, and the German paid the
detective good round sum to keep quiet,
but the story leaked out. / believe the lost
'Strad' in New York is in the hands of
some such enthusiast who coveted it's pos
session and couldn't buy it. A man who
is crazy about gold mining is nothing
when compared to music mad individual
whose sees a Stradivarius and wants to
own it. Washington Star.

Care of Trees.

We do not venerate the old trees as we
should do, and many clumps of fine cid
oaks that belong to colonial days are grad.
ually disappearing. We might very ap-
propriately take lesson from the Hin
docs, who enforce heavy penalty ON any
one who cuts down fruit tree-where the
spirits of the departed love to dwell-and
double penalty on those who cut down
notable trees Or those which grow in
boundary marks or in graveyard. The
souls of such men are consigned to Asipat-
tra-vana hell, where the leaves of the trees
are swords. In Germany, too, the wanton
destruction Of trees is punished, and the
popular sentiment regards such with hor-
ror.-Philadelphia Ledger.

Hungarian Royalty's Home.

The residence of the emperor of Austria
in Hungary, where he is supposed to as
sumo his character of king of Hungary,
is in the great palace, or bourg, which
crowns the rocks at Often, overlooking the
Danube and the splendid city of Pesth. 1t
was there where was preserved the crown
of St. Stephen, king of Hungary, present.
ed by Pope Sylvester, A. D. 1000, and re-
garded as the palladium of the Hungarian
nation. The crown was removed by Kos
suth during his campaign, but was return
ed to the chapel of the bourg in 1867. The
palace is reached from Pesth by crossing
the great suspension bridge which the stu.
dents attempted to pass in vain recently.
