Celtic Patronymics Becoming AnglicIzed
Through Dropping the Me- and o..
Blue books are not invariably COM
piled in such way as to blend the
utile with the dulce, but agreeable ex-
captions occasionally occur, and under
this category must be placed the report
prepared by Mr.. r. e. Matheson, the
assistant registrar-general for Ireland,
on "Surnames in Ireland" in which a
series of lists illustrative of the numer-
lcal strength Of the principal surnames
Is supplemented with great deal of
interesting information as to their
derivation, ethnology and distribution.
There has been some talk of late
about the extensive Anglicizing Of Irish
names, and hence it will rejoice the
hearts of all true patriots to learn that
Murphy, Kelly and Sullivan are still
by far the most prevalent patronymics,
the ubiquitous Smith-.which leads the
van both in England and Scotland
only coming fifth in the test. 1t is
also reassuring to lerrn that the great
bulk of the most common names
In the country are undoubtedly
Of Celtic origin, and that many of
them still retain the prefxes 30" and
Mac" though the reprehensible
fashion of dropping these honorable
emblems of nationality has even af-
fected the patriots" themselves, Mr..
Davitt. for example, being scion Of
the ancient Celtic family till recently
known as MacDavett.
The Anglo-Norman and English
names constitute the largest proper
ton of the residue; but good many
surnames still in use are traceable to
Danish origin, while the Welsh immi-
grafton is represented by the common
occurrence Of the name Walsh in every
county in Ireland.
One significant point may be men
toned before we conclude our hasty
survey of most instructive report
The number of persons resident in
Ireland at the time of the census, but
born elsewhere, has increased from
thirty-fve thousand in 1S41 to up
wards of one hundred and twenty
thousand in 1891, although the total
population has decreased by almost
one-half. In these circumstances the
progressive Anglicizfng of Irish names
need excite no surprise. = London

Milking Reindeer.

The process Of milking herd ofrein-
deer is singular, and we have often
watched it with interest, especially
when, after long tramp across the
fields, we looked forward to share of
1t ourselves. Attended by the sharp
nosed Lapland dogs, the herd appears,
It's members packed closely together
and forming compact mass, in which
the horns are prominent feature, As
they approach nearer one hears a
grunting exactly like swine, and GU
rious cracking sound, produced by the
contact of innumerable horns and
limbs. They are then driven into an
inclosure, each animal is lassoed in its
turn over the horns and dragged up to
an erection in the middle, where 1t is
milked. The quantity afforded by each
is only about as much as would fill a
claret glass, but the milk is extremely
rich and nourishing. --Blackwood's
Magazine.

PURIFYING THE BLOOD.
Constant Care of the Body Versus Spring
Medicines.

Constant Care of the Body Versus Spring
Medicines.
The custom, which is so prevalent at
this time of year, of administering to
ones self remedies which are particu-
larly directed toward purifying the
blood, has, besides its popularity, an
excuse in rational hygiene.
tits to be expected, in other words,
that the human system, like every in-
tricate piece of mechanism, will in
time become clogged with the results
and accumulations of its own work.
The friction of its several parts, and
the wear and tear of constant usage,
are productive of debris of various
sorts, just as in the case with machin-
cry of any kind; and men are excusable
for believing that at least once a year
they may with propriety seek to elimi.
nate the refuse matter which has accu-
mulated.
And so the sarsaparillas of various
makes, especially where they are pre-
scribed by the family physician, may
be said to be worthy Of their populari-
ty and the confidence which is reposed
in them.
1t is doubtful, however, If the neces
sity for the use of "spring medicines
is especially urgent with those who
have continually, throughout the year
maintained a proper regard for the re-
quirements OF the body.
Among those who have the care ot
engines, or other machinery, it is con
sidered breach of duty to permit the
accumulation of the most minute par
ticles of rust or dirt of any sort. Or
the contrary, the greatest pride il
taken In the shiny appearance Of the
bearings and all the different exposed
surfaces of the machine. How mucl
more, then, ought we to be constantly
solicitous that the human organism
shall not be hindered by the accumula
tion of useless debris!
1t is possible to do this surely ant
safely by attending day by day to tn,
secretions of the body. The waste
matter of the body, as we all know, il
got rid of by four great channels-th,
lungs, the intestines, the kidneys anC
the skin.
BY carefully watching the work O
this branch Of the human mechanism
insisting. that each part shall faithful,
perform its own peculiar work, we shai
insure better results from the genera
system, besides lessening to a marke
degree the necessity for any periodical
or spasmodic attempts at purifying tn
blood. Youths Companion.

TO the many inquiries made me by
letters from my friends from all over
the county, asking me whether or not
am still candidate for the Office Of
sheriff ! viii answer by saying posi-
lively am.
|, together with my opponents and
candidates for other Offices, went be-
fore the Republicans in a primary
election, willing myself to submit to
the voice Of the people through this
primary, and that whosoever received
the majority vote should be consider
ed the choice OF the people and the
nominee of the party, In that prima-
ry / received an honest and fair, un-
disputed, majority over all opponents,
and, of course, ! consider that am
Justly due the race II ! am not, then
those who received a majority vote
with me for the clerks OF the county,
for register, for trustee, and for repre-
sentative, are not entitled to the race,
and the primary was farce and fail
ure from the beginning to the end.
But | do not think il this way. l
believe that every man who received
this majority vote was justly entitled
to the race, and, had | been beaten in
the primary by Mr.. Hickey or by Mr..
Martin, ! would never have thought
of forcing my name upon the party
through the rattle Of a convention
clique, but, like fairand honest man,
would have stepped down and out and
waited my turp, or until the party was
ready to endorse my candidacy.
Nr Hickey has no more claim upon
the Republican party for this ract for
sheriff than Mr.. Martin has, who was
defeated at the same time Mr.. Hickey
was by me Neither has Mr.. Hickey
any more right to be known as the
nominee of the Republican party than
Mr. Pritchett has, who received his
nomination wholly through Demo
cratic convention.
Believing as do in the sacred rights
and privileges guaranteed to us by the
constitution OF the United States
rights and privileges that have been
fustered and cared for so long by the
grand old party, to which Lincoln,
Grant AID Sherman and many other
Of Americas greatest men belonged
these privileges and rights for which
!, together with many Others, fought
for; and for which thousands died for
for these rights and privileges hope
still to cherish, and am willing 10 fight
against everything that has tenden-
cy to suppress any part OF these
rights, or to enslave men in any way.
II at any time we are unwilling to
bow to the voice OF majority Of our
fellowmen and depend upon the sup
preston OF the peoples voice through
the low growl Of a lew political wire
workers, such a course is un Republic
an, un American and to such course
/ am unwilling TO submit and will
fight against it as | would fight
against slavery in any form.
now call upon my friends al over
the county to rally to my support and
| will give the bosses the blacklist eye
aud diff ure their countenance to
such an extent in The August election
that they will never know themselves
ever after Yours Resp'y,

COXEYITES SENTENCED.
COxey, Browne and Jones Must go TO
Jail for. Twenty. Days Each.

WASHINGTON, May 22,-Coxey,
Browne and Jones were sentenced by
Judge Miller in the Washington police
court this afternoon to twenty days
in jail for violating the statuts OF the
United States, prohibiting the display
Of partisan banners in the capitol
grounds, and Coxey and Browne
were fined $5 each additional for tres,
passing on the grass, the alternative
being another ten days in Jail. Jones
was acquitted on this last charge.
The proceedings preliminary to the
passing Of sentence were in line with
the series of extraordinary incidents
that have marked the whole trial.
The police courtroom was crowded
with spectators at 10 o'clock, the hour
set for passing sentence, but it was for
ty minutes later before the court was
called to order. During the interval
Judge Miller was having a ccnsulta.
ton with Congressman Pence and
Hudson, counsel for the defense.
Representative Hudson, Of Kansas
one Of Coxey's counsel, Immediately
rose and delivered political address
"On one side," he said in the course ol
his argument, you have :he money
power; on the Other the poor and
struggling masses-by which will your
honor be influenced2" asked Mr.
Hudson.
Neither" responded the court curt
ly.
Mr., Hyman, of the defense, msde an
appeal for a nominal sentence, and
then Carl Browne had his say. He
began by withdrawing the appeals
made in his behalf, and said he had
none to make. He had asked for 9
jury trial, but he now believed he had
made mistake. IL do not belieue,
he said in loud voice, "that the peo
pie OF the United States believe thai
such a lot of filth and stagnation ex
lists as is in the courts here. | do moi
mean your honor-you are different
Then Browne proceeded in bis usua
blasphemous strain for some time.
Coxey rose next. 1t was the frs
time, he said, that he had ever stooC
before a court for sentence, and it wal
a pleasing thought that he was limo
cent OF the charge. He told how th,
arrest was made and maintained tha
he was not walking on the grass anC
carried no banner.
The assistant district attorney asked
the Judge to impose Jail sentenc,
and not a fine, which would be paiC
by the contributions Of ignorant men
Representative Pence asked th'
judge to disarm criticism by giving I
nominal sentence and show that ther'
was no bitter animus behind the pros
ecution.
Judge Miller entered into a long re
view Of the case and arraigned Coxel
severely. There were no parties il
the case, he said, no prosecution o
Coxey for his ideas. Coxey mnst con
form his methods of salvation to th,
law of the land.
