Nv Different Names.

One Of the foreign diplomats in Wash
ington, who is seldom called by his right
name, is Senior Antonio Lazo- Arriaga.
He is generally referred to as Minister
Arriaga, which is his mothers name,
his own name being Antonio Lazo.
"In Central America" he says in ex-
planning the matter, "where son bears
his fathers Christian name he adds his
mothers family name, in order that a
proper distinction may be observed be-
tween his sire and himself. For exam
pie: My fathers name is Antonio Lazo.
l also was named Antonio, and in order
that l should not be COMPOUNDED with
my father added my mothers family
name, which is Arriaga. My eldest son
is also named Antonio and in order that
he may be distinguished from his grand
father and myself, he will add his moth
er's-that is, my wife's-family name,
which is Morales. Thus the three gen.
erations in my family, all Lazos, will be
Antonio Lazo, Antonio Lazo-Arriaga
and Antonio Lazo Morales. New

Information From a Man.

The bloomer dress is a pair of trou-
sers, very baggy at the knees, abnormally
full at the pistol pockets and consider
ably full where you strike a match.
The garment is cut decollete at the
south end and the bottoms tied around
the ankles or knees to keep the mice out.
You can't put it over your head like
you do your shirt, nor around you like
a corset, but you must sit ON the floor
and pull it on just as you do your stock
ings, one foot at time in each COM
partment
You can easily tell the right side to
have in front by the buttons on the
neckband. -Rehoboth Herald.

Met by Chance.

An amusing story is told of Robert
Franz, the famous German song writer,
and another equally celebrated compos-
er. The incident occurred soon after
the publication of Franz's famous
"Open Letter to Edward Hanslick, " in
which he made severe criticism upon
some musical work of the composer,
Johannes Brahms.
Franz had occasion at that time to
take five or six hours trip by rail In
the compartment with him was little
man with whom he fell into converse
tion. The fellow travellers found each
other delightful and whiled the hours
away in agreeable talk, which did not
turn upon music.
When the train reached Franz's des-
tination, he took out his card case, say
ing to his companion:
"You have made me pass a most de-
hghtful afternoon. Allow me to give
you my card. "
The stranger seemed highly gratified
and offered Franz his card in return.
Each looked at the bit of pasteboard he
had received in amazement The stran-
gers eyes opened wide at reading the
name of his merciless critic, cdr. Rob-
ert Franz" while Franz himself was
equally astounded at reading on the card
in his hand, Johannes Brahms.
There was no time for mutual expla-
nations, but each of the musicians had
discovered that, however their ideas
might differ from musical standpoint,
they were at least admirable travelling
companions and had found rnuch to en-
joy in each other.-Youth's Companion.

The Enumeration Was Not Complete
Enough to Convict Him.
It is not strange that the southern COL
ored man has vague and mistaken no.
tions about property rights. He and his
ancestors were for ages enslaved and
had no rights whatever, even to their
own persons. Therefore all they could
gain was through treachery and deceit,
and it is only natural that these traits
bred by slavery remain as inherited char
acteristics, now that the negro enjoys
the blessings Of freedom. 1t may take
several generations before their habit of
stealing will be unlearned, for even
when the colored man becomes religious

NOVEL READING.
An Excessive Amount OF 1t Is Declared to
initiate Against Marriage.

initiate Against Marriage.
A writer in a monthly review, dis
cussing Mr.. Balfour's Foundations of
Belief, takes occasion to say that solid
books, dealing with the great problems
of mind and morals, are no longer read
except by few specialists. That an ex-
elusive diet of novel reading is extreme
ly facilitating is proved by one series of
facts which are observable in every part
of the civilized world. Men and women
among the reading classes no longer
marry in anything like such numbers as
they formerly did, and the reason is
that they have no pluck in them to face
lives of Spartan simplicity on limited
incomes.
The result is disastrous to women, in
asmuch as it prevents many of them
ever marrying at all. For if a woman
does not marry when she is young very
few men care to marry her when she is
middle aged. Men marry in middle life,
but they do not marry women Of their
own age. They marry young women.
The physiological moral is that it would
be vastly better for both men and wom-
en- to read novels for recreation only,
and when at work to read solid books
which really exercise and develop the
brain. In practice the result Of this
would be that both men and women
would have better and stronger brains.
They would marry earlier and with more
courage. They would face the world
more hopefully and successfully, and
they would become the parents of whole
somer, healthier, happier and more ca
pable children. Paper.

Pope's Favorite.

Pope deemed the ESSAY ON Man" his
most polished production, but was 50
fond Of revising his poetry that the
printed copy contained almost one mar
ginal note for every line. If his wishes
had been fully carried out, the second
edition would have had SO many changes
as to be practically new work.

WHEN SHE GOES BY.

When she goes by with head erect,
A springtide blossom fair and sweet
I wonder II she can't suspect
How heads are turned along the street,
Or how try to catch her eye
And win smile when she goes by.
When she goes by with wind tossed oArls
And cheeks where winter roses blow,
She quite eclipses all the girls
It's been my happiness to know.
Oh, how those fairy feet do fly,
No lettering, when she goes by.
When she goes by, gay, debonair,
With graceful swaying figure, though
To follow her do not dare,
My heart is taken into tow,
And can only long and sigh
And rail at fate when she goes by.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, May 29.-The feature of
the early trading at the Stock Ex-
change was a break of per cent. in
Pacific Mail, due to the wreck Of the
company's steamer, Colima. Other
weak spots at this time were Tennessee
Coal and Hooking Valley. The shares
named declined u to 1S. Before the
expiration of the first hour demand
to cover short contracts was noted in
American Sugar, and the stock ad-
vanced HES. This steadied the general
list, and later on, when Chicago tele-
graphed predictions of rains in the
grain belt and the price of wheat ran
off a cent or SO, the bears on stocks be-
came frightened and rushed into cover.
Their purchases brought about rise

as a buyer and this added to the bullish
feelings. The Industrials were strong

position to make authoritative tests to
determine the comparative efficiency and
economy Of steam and electricity as a mo-

this purpose the Mt. Holly branch OF the
Camden and Burlington County railroad,
extending from Mt. Holly to Burlington,
a distance of seven miles, has been Sc
lected, and for months past the work Of
equipping II as a trolley road has been In
progress. This line was picked out for ex-
pertinent because of Its easy grades and Its
light freight traffic. As at present oper-
ated by steam, 1t Is a source of greater ex-
pense than gain to the company. II by
substituting the trolley system it Is found
that the expenses can be reduced and the
receipts increased, making the line profit

A tired. drowsy feeling would come
over him and continue for hours at a

feel more tired than when he went to
bed. He continued to grow rapidly
worse and he would suddenly fall to the

face and lips would become purple, the
forehead wrinkled, the face swollen;
sometimes deathly pallor would come
over him but generally it was of a deep
