FORMIDABLE NAMES.

The Complicated Nomenclature of Eu-
ropesn Nobility.
II Is customary on the continent OF
Europe to beStow several baptismal
names upon a child, only one of which
is used ordinarily in after life-usually
the first in the list In France, well
as in some other European coun ries.
the bestowal of any other baptismal
name than one belonging to the Chris
tian saints or taken from the Bible or
from the name of persons of mythology
or ancient times Is forbidden by law.
No child can be given a name which
is the surname of living persou-not
even that of the president of the repub-
lie.
Though it is customary to use blt
one of the Christian names which are
bestowed IL il necessary to give the en-
tire Ii Il on certain formal or official oc-
casions. Lately in Paris Italian
gentleman, NJ Campagna des Barons
dc Sartana, was natural,Zed a French
citizen. and on this occasion his full
name had to come out 1t was as fol-
lows:

d'Assisi Francesca de Paoio Rocco
Ginavanni Giuseppe Gcltrude Carlo
Gartano Alfonso Giro ndrea Luigi
Gioran Giusepe Geraldo Antonio di-
Pava Antonio A bate Campagna des
Barons lie Sartana-
All these names up to ''Campagua
are given names; the rest constitute
the surname, which is sufficiently long
in itself The Christian names ar.
twenty-six in number. Several OF
them consist of the combined given
names aud surnames of di -tinguished
persons after the manner of a certain

his parents, was baptized Sir Henry

"A recent issue.
''I'll never forget" said a gentleman
recently. the scene when she caught

that little undertaker's shop in st.

Charlie. on the contrary. passed his
night in restless sleeplessue 5 and his
days in terrified expectancy OF ven

peace for him. As soon Frank was

A West Virginia hunter. with gun
and dog, while securing the mountain.
for game, heard his dog bowling somr
distance away in the woods. Arrivin.
at the spot. he found the hound in fur
ious combat with Il buck. lie fired
but missed. and before he could reload
the deer had gored the dog and charge
him The hunter mar cwly escape,
the rush. and in return dealt a bloN
with his gun, which did not appear 1,
hurt the deer a particle, but did break
the stock. Escape was impossible. ana
the hunter had to fight with the barrel
of his rifle. Fortunately. he was both
powerful and active, and, althougi.
once knocked down. he managed l.
deal three or four heavy blows. til,
last of which stunned the deer. where
upon the hunter dispatched it with hi
knife. The buck was one of the finest
killed in that section for many years

How Swimmers Drown.

The Northwestern Lancet offers a
new explanation of the sudden drown
ing of good swimmers, hitherto attrib-
uted To cramp. There is nothing in
cramp in the leg TO prevent an ordinary
swimmer supporting himself in the
water by his hands or on his back, nor
TO cause him to throw up his hands
and sink once for all, like a stone
Such cases are attributed TO perfora-
ton OF the eardrum, through which
the excess of water pressure occasions
vertigo and Inconsistencies, and a
practical caution results TO persons
having such perforation to protect
their ears with a stopper of cotton when
bathing
