People sometimes ask me why spell
my name with two n 3, said Repre-
sentative Hermann. When ! was
student in Maryland years ago, got
the idea into my head that | would fol-
low the fashion and eliminate the extra
letter. / started in by writing to my
father, respected and prominent physl-
clan in Baltimore, and signing it in the
improved way, Your affectionate son,
Binger Herman. My father quickly
detected the change, and back came a
letter whose earnest reproaches | have
never forgotten.
He pointed out that the name stood
for one of the greatest heroes Of antiq-
uity, Armenius, the Hermann of Taci-
tus, who stood like a bulwa1k against
Roman lust of conquest, and to whose
leadership the ancient Germans owed
the preservation of their nationality,
their language and their freedom. He
said that name was given me by those
who alone had the authority to confer
it, and with their consent the name
should never be altered, even in respect
to letter. The rebuke l received so
impressed me that | concluded if the
name was good enough for my father it
would be good enough for me. Wash

His Erin to .Ianan.

The rector of one Of the up town
churches announced in Sunday school
that all the boys who were faithful at
tendants at the classes for a specified
time should be taken on stereopticon
trip to Japan.
Time passed, and the period was fin
ished. But before the promised enter
tainment could be announced there was
a ring at the rectory door one day, and
a good woman appeared inquiring for
the preacher. He was out, and she was
told she must come again.
She was willing, adding that she
wanted to see him about her boys go
ing to Japan. He had won the trip, she
said, but she didn't know what clothes
he would need or what preparations she
might have to make.
1t is to be feared, though it is not so
stated, that the rector was out the next
time she called too.-New York Times.

up at the policeman. His expression was
one of mingled awe, fear and apprehen-

"Give me a pair, said the police
man, pulling out two strings from the
bundle.

Better make it two, said the man
who represented the dignity and maj

man, his voice weaker than ever.

A workman,n Time Checker.

An English time check has been de-
signed for use in factories and work
shops for keeping a register of the time
of the workmen. Its inventor claims
that it is the only apparatus of the kind
actuated and controlled by electricity.
1t contains no special clockwork and no
complicated parts and requires no fix
ing. AS many checks can be fitted to
one clock as may be desired, and any
ordinary clock can be adapted for the
purpose. Each man is provided with
checks, one of which he drops into the
slot of the apparatus on entering the
building. The checks are subsequently
removed, and after their numbers have
been registered placed on a board ready
for the men TO take when next leaving
work. Any number of slots can be pro-
vided, but as rule two only, marked
respectively early" and late, are re-
quired. When the time for beginning
work has gone by, the early slot is
closed by an electrical attachment,
and tho late" slot is opened. Before
the next spell of work commences the
'late" slot is closed, and the early"
slot is made ready to receive the checks
of the workmen. Exchange.

An EngIishman Tells About the Careful
Gardening In His Native Land.

An EngIishman Tells About the Careful
Gardening In His Native Land.
Lewis Rose, practical gardener,
came to this country 10 years ago from
England, where he was a farmer, and
he trims and cuts according to English
rules. Speaking of this country, he said:
You Americans do not know what
good lawns are. In England the houses
of the gentry are surrounded by acres
of green sward that looks just like vel
vet. They NOW the grass with ma
chine every week, and after the mower
comes a heavy stone roller that rolls it
down as fiat as a piece of paper. 1t is
just as smooth as that table cover there
stretched over the table. The roller is
to press down and heal any little break
or tear in the turf made By the machine.
If you break the turf anywhere, it Is
just like breaking your skin. You
must fix it directly, or there will be a
sore place ON the lawn. Even if it gets
we'll there will always be scar there
unless you mend it carefully. You
should see the English lawns after a
shower! The green is beautiful, and
every blade of grass stands up straight,
but all the little blades are of exactly
the same length. and they look soft and
level. The perfume of the new grass
is delightful. They have windows gen
orally that come down to the floor, and
on the walls outside the house are
climbing rose bushes all in bloom. The
combined odor of roses and new mown
grass is very pleasant.
You have to go at a lawn as if it
were piece of embroidery you were
at work on. First you must have good
rich, decaying mold for the grass to
live on. You cannot make grass grow
in sand Then as the grass comes up
you must go over it step by step and
dig out all the coarse grass and weeds
and be sure to mend each place after
digging up the roots. Then you will be-
gin to find patches where no grass APP
pears. You want to have grass seed
handy and SOW these places with it.
/ water my lawns twice day-in the
morning before the sun gets fairly up
and at night after it goes down. l NOW
the grass every week. After you have
a good lawn you must watch every
inch of it. You have no idea how easy
it is to let patch here and there get
poisoned to death. When you find any
foreign substance on lawn that is like
ly to poison the grass, you want to dig
it up, put fresh soil and fertilizer I'M
der it and fit new and healthy bit of
turf in the hole you have made. Then
keep an eye on it afterward and water
it we'll. The rich, deconposed sweep
ings from the stable make the best fer
tilizer.
In pruning trees you want to cut off
every long shoot and make your trees
compact and bushy like a full blown
rose. Even wealthy Americans let their
trees get scrawny, and they don't al
ways cut them enough to prevent decay
in some of the branches. 1t is easy to
trim trees if you understand this prin-
ciple. And the only reason have been
successful with my lawns is that have
been willing to take pains with them
and do lot of hard work. New York

a MOUTH CURVED UP AT CORNERS
The world is not SO bad place

The world is not so bad place
AS the growing cynic paints it,
And life In the main is fair and sweet
Till selfshness mars and taints it.
So don't belong TO the pessimist crew
And don't be one of the scorners,
Don't go about with a clouded brow
And mouth drawn down at the corners.
Though fortune seemeth to frown on you,
Be never you disconnected.
II you put your mouth into rainbow shapA
Pray let the bow be inverted.
Though you be sighted by fortunes pets,
Though you be scSrned by the scorners,
Still keep heart that is brave and strong
And mouth curved up at the corners.
Don't look on life through smoky glass.
The world is much as you take 1t.
Twill yield you back a CLEAN of light
Or a glow of warmth If you make it
However fortune may seem to frown,
However may scorn the scorners,
Still face your fate with a fearless eye
And mouth curved up at the corners.
