Ezekiel Godbepraised Registers at 8 Phila-
delphia Hotel.
The register of a Philadelphia hotel
recently recorded the arrival of Thomas
Godbepraised, of Barrow-in-F urness,
England Being approached by a Times
reporter upon the subject of the oddity
Of his surname, Mr.. Godbepraised said:
eyes. l suppose the name does sound
very odd to Americans, although such
names are not altogether unusual in
England and especially in Lancaster,
which was a stronghold Of the round
heads or puritans in Cromwell's time.
My home is in Barrow-in-Furness
which is in Lancashire.
''My ancestors prior to Cromwell's
time were all royalists. The family
name was Elliott. A younger son re-
nounced the religious faith and polit-
ical opinions of his forefathers and be-
came puritan. As was usual in such
cases, he abjured the carnal name of
Charles Elliott and took the inspired
one of Ezekiel Godbepraised.
''There is quite a romance connected
with this ancestor of mine. He fell in
love with the only daughter of a Col.
Fielding in the cavaliers army. Not
being able to obtain her fathers con-
sent to their marriage Ezekiel abduct-
cd her and for two years kept her hid
den in dreary house that stood near
the little town of Formby, where a son
was born. After battle little to the
south of the river Morsey between the
cavaliers and the roundheads her
brothers discovered her and carried her
off to old Furness abbey. In the hurry
the child was left behind, but as the
result of the mothers pleading one Of
the brothers returned to Formby after
it.
I'm the meantime Ezekiel had dis
covered his loss and removed the child.
Then he followed his brothers back to
Furness abbey, but arrived too late.
The brother and sister had set sail
from Barrow beach for the Isle of Man.
A storm came up and Ezekiel arrived
in time to see the boat founder. He re-
turned to his child more bitter against
the royalists than ever, and brought
the child up with the same sentiments.
CAT the close of the war Ezekiel
adopted the trade of a weaver and set
tied in Barrow-in-F urness. Thus the
name was perpetuated, the stern COM
mands Of the father forbidding the son
to throw off the fanatical nickname
when the heat of puritanical zeal had
piyen aWav."

ANTICS OF WILD DUCKS.
Peculiar Habits of the Fowl While on tn,

= i ?. :
Peculiar Habits Of the Fowl While on the
Wing.
Many kinds Of birds indulge in Curl
Gus aerial performances during the mat
ing and breeding season. Some of the
best-known instances are those of the
night-hawk. the woodcock and the
snipe. Mr.. E. w. Nelson. in his birds
OF Alaska, says that the pintan duck
has some very peculiar habits of this
kind
He once saw pair rise into the air
and start off, the male in full chase
after the female, at a marvellous rate
of speed. Back and forth they went,
with frequent quick turns, now almost
out of sight overhead. now skimming
along the ground in an involved course
very difficult for the eye to follow.
Soon second male joined in the chase,
then a third, and SO on, till six males
were wing with each other in the pur
suit
The original pursuer seemed to be
the only one capable of keeping close
to the coy female, and even he, from
her dexterous turns and curves, was
able to draw near only at intervals.
Then he always passed under her, and
kept so close to her that the two pairs
of wings clattered together with
noise like a watchman's rattle, and
audible long distance
The chase lasted for half an hour.
One by one the males dropped off, till
finally but one of therl-the original
one. Mr.. Nelson believes-was left.
Then the pair settled into one of the
ponds.
At other times Mr.. Nelson saw a fe-
male, when pursued in this way by
several males, plunge under water at
full speed, and suddenly take wing
again few yards beyond, the males
all the while after her.
The pintail has also habit, during
the mating season, of descending from
great altitude at an angle of about
forty-fve degrees. with the wings
stiff1y outspread and slightly curved
downward. The bird is frequently so
high that the noise produced by its
passage through the air is heard for
fifteen or twenty seconds before the
bird comes into sight
He descends with meteor-like swift
ness till he is within few yards of the
ground, when slight change in the
position of the wings sends him gliding
away close to the ground from one
hundred to three hundred yards with
out wing-stroke. The sound produced
by this swift passage through the air
can only be compared to the rushing of
a gale through tree-tops. At first it is
like a murmur; then it rises to hiss,
and as the bird sweeps by it is almost
q roar.

THE FIRST SHAKESPEARE FOLIO
There Never Was q Volume Which Caused
So Much Argument.

There Never Was a Volume Which Caused
So Much Argument.
Surely little enthusiasm is allow
able here. Never was there a volume
which has caused SO much controversy
and argument, says the Cornhill Maya
zine. It has been measured up by
eighths of an inch, counted in lines,
reckoned by page, by letter-nay, even
by stops and omissions, and made the
subject of thick treatises which try to
prove it something different to what it
is and its author myth. It was pub
lished at guinea; in 1887 copy sold
at auction for ten pounds sterling, and
to-day fine specimen would not fall
for less than fifteen hundred pounds
sterling! What a history for an un-
pretentious tome of old plays!
But even more precious are those
squat quartos which represent the alb
solutely first editions of many of the
bard's productions.
1t is little singular how few of
them have survived. Heaps upon heaps

Instances he recl<Oned in three fipuras
while many are almost if not quite
unique.
OF the first quarto Hamlet, in many
respects the most interesting and at
tractive of the immortal series, only
two examples are known, both of
which are defective, though the two
together would make a perfect copy.
The duke of Devonshire has the title
page, but lacks the last leaf; in the
museum copy the exact reverse is the
Casa curious coincidence.
Plays of this period generally are
much esteemed and eagerly sought for
in first editions, and all collectors are
familiar with these thin quartos; often
sumptuously clad by Bedford or
Riviere, which represent such a high
and ever-increasing money value.
Whether this be an indication of
growing interest in matters theatrical,
or, as is more probable, recognition
of their Importance as factors in our
literature and faithful pictures of their
times, it were perhaps difficult to sat
isfactorily decide.

REASONABLE OBSTINACY.

The Secret Of ? Jury Foreman's Reason
for Acquitting q Prisoner. #sf

The Secret Of = Jury Forenap,s Reason
for Acquitting Prisoner.
One Of the strangest Of obstinate
juror stories is told in the Illustrated
London News. Chief Justice Dyer was
presiding at murder trial in which
everything went against the prisoner,
who, on his part, had nothing to say
except that on his way to work he had
found the man dying and had tried to
help him, and in so doing had become
covered with blood. The man died
while he was ministering to him, and
he had then left him and said nothing
about it, because he was known to have
had quarrel with him shortly before,
and naturally feared that he should be
suspected of the crime
The hay-fork with which the murder
had been committed was marked with
the prisoners name, and indeed, all
the evidence showed that he must have
done the deed. The chief justice was
fully convinced Of his guilt, and was
correspondence put out when the jury,
after being locked up all night without
fire or candle, returned a verdict of ac-
quittal.
He called the high sheriff, who told
him that the cause Of the verdict was
undoubtedly the foreman, a farmer
highly esteemed By all his neighbors.
and very unlikely to be obstinate or
unduly opinionated.
Then" said the judge, II must see
this foreman, for an explanation of this
matter must and will have
The foreman was sent for, and after
extracting from his lordship pledge
of secrecy he said:
''The prisoner was rightfully acquit-
ted, for it was who killed the man.
It had been no murder. The other
man had attacked the farmer, and in
the struggle he received, accidentally,
a fatal blow. The farmer had no fear
of being found guilty, but the assizes
being just over his farm and affairs
would have been ruined by a confession
through his lying so long in Jail. For
that reason he said nothing, and let
matters take their course.
When one of his own servants was
charged with the crime he was horri-
fed. He took care of the mans wife
and children during his imprisonment,
and when the trial came on he con-
trived to be placed upon the jury and
elected foreman.
He added that if he had failed in this
he would certainly have confessed his
own share in the business, and the
judge believed him. Every year for
fifteen years his lordship made in
quiries as to the foreman's existence,
and at last, having survived him, he
considered himslfs at liberty to tell the
story.

a CHEMISTS DREAM.
Roseste Visions Of an Approaching Nil
sfss5z9s leniai State,

ROoo0t0 visions OF an Approaching Mns
lenial State.
M. Berthe1ot INDUCES in the rosiest
visions concerning the benefits which
chemistry will heap upon the human
race in the course of another century
or two, says the New York Post. In
an address before the manufacturing
chemists of France delivered recently
in Paris he said that he looked to chem
istry for deliverance from present so
cial evils and for the possibility of re-
alizing the socialists dreams-that is,
if q spiritual chemistry could be dis
covered to change human nature as
deeply as chemical science could mod
ify the globe. This change, he de-
clared, will be greatly due to chemis-
try utilizing the heat Of the sun and
the central heat of the globe. The
latter can be obtained by shafts OF
three thousand or four thousand me-
tiers in depth, which modern engineers
are equal to the task of sinking.
The water down SO deep will be hot
and able to keep all possible machinery
going. BY natural distillation it will
furnish fluid free from microbes, and
be an unlimited source Of chemical and
electrical energy. This could be ev-
erywhere developed, and thousands of
years might pass without any notice
able diminution. With such source
of heat all chemical Transformation
would be easy. The5production of ali
mentary matter will be one conse-
quence. This production is resolved in
principle, and has been for forty years,
by the syntheses of grease and oils.
That of hydrates of carbon is going on,
and that of heterogeneous substances is
not far off.
When energy can be obtained thus
cheaply, food can be made from carbon
taken from carbonic acid, hydrogen
taken from water, and nitrogen from
the air. What work the vegetables
have SO far done science will soon be
able to do better, with far greater pro-
fusion and independently of seasons or
evil microbes or insects. There will
then be no passion to own land, beasts
need not be bred for slaughter, man
will be milder and more moral, and bar
rem regions may become preferable to
fertile as habitable places, because
they will not be pestiferous from ages
of manuring. The reign of chemistry
will beautify the planet. There will
then be no need to disigure it with the
geometrical works of the agricultural
list. or with the CRIME of factories and
chimneys. 1t will recover it's verdure
and aora The earth will be vast
pleasure garden and the human race
will live in peace and plenty. So we
must look to chemistry, it appears, for
the millennium.
