NAMED AFTER THE PRESIDENTS

Philadelphia Maintains Her Record for
 Patriotism in Her Nomenclature.
 Of the twenty-three presidents of the United States John Adams has the largest number of namesakes, twenty three, in the Philadelphia directory, James Buchanan ranks next, twenty one men of nearly as many vacations bearing the name of the only Penn sylvania president. There are fifteen Andrew Jacksons and fourteen Andrew Johnsons. The name of the father of his country is borne by eight day laborers, one caterer, two walters, one ianitor, and one real estate dealer, or thirteen men in all, says the Record.
 The grandfather of Benjamin liar rison has three namesakes, while one laborer and one upholsterer have the name of TippecanOe's grandson. There are four James MOnroes and the same number called John Quincy Adams. One hostler, one puddler, and 8 weaver are known as James Madison, and bartender, clerk, and super intendent answer to the name of Zachary Taylor. There is but one Thomas Jefferson, whose occupation is not given, and the only John Tyler is a weaver. A brakeman and minister of the Gospel are Franklin Pierces, but there is nobody with the name of Pres idents Van Buren, Polk, Fillmore, Lincoln, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, or Cleveland, except as a handle to the surname.

ENGLISH LIFE.
As It Is Viewed By an Educated Native
 of the Orient.

CT the OrlenC.
 Behva1nii Malabari, of India, who visited England in 1890, considered the English climate as the most remark able of all the things that came under his notice. He thinlzsa race that could conquer such Q climate and carve the comforts of life out of it, deserves do- minion over all the elements of nature. He says, in ''The Indian Eye On Eng fish Life," that it makes one laugh to hear the English talk of their fine day"
 One may speak of fine five minutes, fine half hour or hour-nothing be- yond that, so far as I could see.
 The climate of country reflects it. self pretty clearly in the temper, habits and general surroundings of the peo- pie. It is mainly the climate, and the peculiar mode of life which the people have to live in obedience to climatic in fluenceS, that make them so keen about everything.
 The quantity and the manner of their eating puzzled and sometimes frightened me. Men and women eat freely ct shops, in the streets, train, bus, CT railway carriage. There is an absence of delicacy and deliberation about the matter, at which the grave oriental may well lift his eyebrows.
 In no respect, perhaps, does the av- craze Englishman show himself so slow of imagination and wanting in taste as with respect to his daily food. He eats what his fathers ate before him. The cook knows nothing of proportion in seasoning his food; knows little of variety, and has a rough, slow enly touch. The English are heavy eaters, as rule. I have never had a regular dinner with friends while in England, being unaccustomed both to their hours and their dishes But I have had to put in an appearance at lunch or breakfast, to catch a friend about to leave town.
 On one such occasion I saw a com pany of poets, philosophers and fanat- ics at table, presided over by young lady, the daughter of the house. I sat there, wiping my forehead-they did the eating, the perspiring- I saw slices of beef disappearing, with vege- tables, mustard, etc. was pressed to join, but pretended to make a mortified protest.
 The host then asked me slyly what I thought of the food and their mode of eating. replied, instinctively: "It is horrible"
 The reply set the gentlemen roaring, and my hostess blushing. But could not help saying what I felt. How can a little stomach hold such an enor- nous lunch? The waste of vitality in their climate, and under their condi- tions of life, must be enormous; and it has, of course, to be replaced.

BOILER PLATE COFFlNS.
An Invention to Thwart tho Purpose of
 Grave Robbers.

Grave Robbers.
 During the past few weeks Washing ton has been canvassed by the agent of one Of the most peculiar pieces of funeral Paraphernalia ever invented, says the News of that city. It is a bur gIar and fre-proof coffin, with SO many strange adjuncts that a person seeing it for the first time would throw up his hands in holy horror at the audaeity of the inventor and the admirable nerve Of Q manufacturer that will place such an article on the market. Despite the many ghastly features in connection with these cofinS and the almost blasphenous talk of the enterprising agent, this city has proved to be a lucrative field for him to work, and now a number Of citizens are equipped with the strangest burial appliance of the decade. The description of the coffin, as given by the agent, is as fol- lows:
 Primarily the coffin is fire and bur glar-rvoof. The case is made out of boiler iron hardened with old bone, spruce bark and leather, which forms an enamel that cannot be penetrated by chisel or drill. It is put together with angle iron and flush rivets. The locks are all on the inside, so con structed with hooks and staples with a spring behind them that when pin is drawn out from the outside the bolts spring down and lock automatically and the coffin is then locked so that it hA Ia do The only person who can unlock the strange coffin is the person inside"
 There are two grades of collins those for vaults and those to be in- tered in graves. The coffin to be placed in vault is equipped with tor pedoes that can be exploded from the inside. The theory of this is that in case a person is buried alive he can throw back the bolts, explode the tor pedoes and warn the sexton, and thus escape. The coffin to be placed in a grave has attached a strong spring and arm. In case the person inside finds that he wishes to get out, all he has to do is to throw back the spring, and this arm is thereby released and cuts it's way to the top, exploding a torpedo and warning the keeper of the grave yard.
 These cofiins are sold at so much per pound, and the first purchaser does not have to pay anything down. He simply gives d written guarantee to the manufacturer that he will pay for the coffin from his estate within fifteen days after death, or, failing to do this, the manufacturer can claim his body to do what he may wish with it. The cofins were originally invented at Ypsilanti, Mich, and the invention was due to necessity. At the time that the company gained it's inception Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor and other Michigan towns were being overrun with grave robbers. It was to counteract the eff fleets of this that the coffins were made. The scare had become so bad there that the people had got in the habit of placing a body in a receiving vault guarded by an armed sentry. Then it was this company began operations.

4 German ,Jonc.

The following fraud upon an insur- ance company, which we find in the Deutsche Taball-Zeitung is certainly just little too good to be true: ''A cunning fellow, who wanted to smoke the best cigars at the cheapest possible cost, bought one thousand cigars ot the highest quality and corresponding price, and immediately insured the whole stock. When he had smoked the last of them, he demanded scveH hundred and fifty marks from the in- surance company on the ground that the whole of his insured stock, ten boxes of cigars, had been consumed bJ' fire! The Solomonic court decided in favor of the plaintiff. The company then brought an action of conspiracy against the smoker, accusing hin cf having Intentionally put fire to his own cigars and deliberately destroye1 his property. Hercupon the same v;1e court condemned the insured smoker to three months imprisonment. t."

HIS VISIT CUT SHORT.
An Indianapolis Lady's SOlicitude for the
 Cleanliness of Her Friends.

Cleanliness of Her Friends.
 A certain lady of this c--.y, who had never been used to the luxury of life until after her husband made large sum of money in the real estate busi- ness, moved into an elegant house which had, among other conveniences, a fine bathroom, says the Indianapolis Sentinel. It was her pride, and every visitor was informed about the bath room. Guests who came from dis tance were greeted with: Now, I know you are tired and dusty after your long journey; just go right up to the bath room and you can have refreshing bath at once" This worked well in most cases, but one day she made a mistake. She went to the door one warm summer afternoon to find a young gentleman friend of her husbands from Louisville, and she took it for granted that he was going to stay all night. So her first words after shaking hands with him were; Now, you are tired and dusty after your journey; just go right up to the bathroom: a bath will refresh you so."
 In vain the young man tried to ex- postulate; she had him by the arm and started him up the stairway before he could get in word. In half an hour he came down and took up his hat and stick. ''I thank you very much he said, ''I enjoyed the bath very much. '" Then he started for the door. "Why, where are you going?" asked the hostess. ''To catch my train" he am swered; 'I only had forty minutes to stay and my bath took half an hour, so I must hustle now to catch tne Chicago train" This cured the lady of showing off her bathroom.

COLUMBIA RIVER SALMON.
How the Chinese HorkEnen Cut Up, Pre-
 pare and Can tho Fish.

How the Chinese HorkInen Cut Up, Pre-
 pare and Can tho Fish.
 'tOn a recent trip to the Pacific coast" said Walter Stedman, New York drummer, to the St. Louis Globe Democrat, T paid visit to one Of the large canning factories in Oregon, where the Columbia river salmon are packed and shipped all over the coun- try It was novel sight to me, and one in which I took a great deal of interest. The fish are caught in nets and carried in boats to the factory, where they are thrown upon a stage and lie in heaps, Q thousand or so in a pile. You can see huge fish among them that weigh from thirty to sixty pounds. One Chinaman will seize a salmon, and, with dextrous blow of a big knife, sever it's head with one stroke; another workman then grabs it and sIashes off the fins and disem bowels it. It is then thrown into a vat, where the blood soalzs out, and l tell you they bleed like a stuck pig. After ro- peated washings the fish is cut into chunks, plunged into brine and stuffed into cans, the bones first being re- moved. The tops of the cans, which have a small hole in them, are then soldered on, and five or six hundred of them at time are plunged into boiling water, where they remain until the heat has expelled all the air. Then the little airhole in the top of the lid is soldered up and the salmon is ready for marlSat''

BURIAL OR GERMANTOWN
What the Noted French Authors Have to
 Say Concerning Them.

Some of the noted French authors have been giving Paris editor their preferences in regard to burial or ere nation. The Boston Herald summar- izes their expressions: Alphonse Daudet says, as to being buried or cremated, that either would be exceedingly dis agreeable to him, and when one re- members that Daudet is great suffer CT from an incurable disease his an- swer is triumph of hope. Henri de Bornier frankly curses the editor for spelling his dinner by such query, and Armand Sylvester is very French and poetic, for his says: ''To become 8 puff of smoke in the sky or blade of grass over a grave, that is the choice given to us. Well, prefer the ground, from which flowers spring for lovers. ," Sarcey, the great critic, replies: ''Theo- retically, cremation appears to me the favorable method of disposing of the rubbish, the body, but I am not in- tolerant or exclusive in anything" Burned! burned" writes SardOu. Ut will afford me great pleasure to be burned. Warmly yours." Another au- thor says: "You ask me which I pre- fer, to be burned or buried? After ma ture reflection, regret to say that I desire neither the one nor the other ? Emile Zola signs his name to the most sensible preference" of the lot. He writes: "My personal choice in the matter have not yet considered, and I believe it is best to leave the thing to the decision of the loving ones we leave behind us. They alone can have pain or pleasure in it."

Bursting the Bag.

vne form of amusement that chil- dren have now that they didn't use to have when I was boy said Nr. Bozzle, lis the fun of busting the bag. Nowadays many things come from the grocer and elsewhere in paper b2"s, and let me bust the bag is . familiar household request. The youngster takes the empty bag and with his thumb and forefnger around the open end of it he forms a neck with an opening through which he may infatc it. Then with a sudden whac!l he brings the bag down upon the other hand and eXplodes it with a report whose lord- ness is determined by the size of the bag, the fullness of it's imitation, the tightness of the grip around it's closed neck, and the force Of the blow. The modern small boy ought to be grateful for this continuous domestic Fourth of July, one of many priv ileges that he enjoys that were quite unknown to his fathers"

 The little English sparrow is becom- ing so numerous that there is con- siderable discussion about adopting methods of getting rid of the pest, Thcy are here, says the Galveston News, by the thousands and are re- markable for their fecundity, as they lay from five to six eggs each sit ting and raise three broods a year. They are no longer considered insec- tivcrous, and owing to their pugnacious habits, making war upon the birds that are desired and destroying their eggs, as well as making themselves obnox- ious in great many ways, and with their rapidly increasing numbers, their cXtermination will be a matter of a serious nature here at an early date Other towns are doubtless experiencing trouble with them, as the bird is mi gratory in pairs, settling only where there Is habitation and springing into the thousands like a mushroom. A prominent citizen here who has num- Der of mocl1ing birds in the trees and SuruDDCry III ms yaft, ana who mas time and again watched the onslaughts of this vicious little bird with an inva- riable victory, states that it will be a question sooner or later of state legis- lation by offering a bounty for them.

Big waterwor,,s Projects Abroad.

A plan for supplying Paris with wa ter from Lake Neufchatal is under con- sideration by the municipality. It involves the building of an aqucduct 300 miles in length and at an estimated cost of S60, 000, ,OGO. An earlier plan proposed to use Lake Geneva as q source of supply, the estimated cost being S100, ,0O0, 900. The engineer of the Neufchatel plan proposes to tun- ncl the Jura mountains, and give a head of 394 feet in Paris. One of the greatest engineering works of modern times is the artificial lake impoUnding the waters Of the River Vyrnwy, in Montgomeryshire, to supply Liverpool, sixty,eight miles distant. The lake has storage capacity of 1,50o, ,000,090 gallons, and power is given to supply water over a certain belt of country on each side of the line. Liverpool Is thus placed on an equality, as to water supply, with Glasgow, which has laid Lock Katrine under contribution, and with Manchester, which is doing the same with Thirlncer.
