The Naming of the Dolphin.

An old story, but not bad one, was
told the other day by an officer Of the
navy, who heard the argument repeat
ed in it. While General Arthur was
President, and during one of the sum-
mers of his administration, he was on
board of the Despatch at Newport, and
Secretary of the Navy Chandler was
Fostering him to consent to naming
the new dispatch boat, afterward the
Dolphin, the Concord, after the first
battle of the revolution. General Ar
thur was disposed to quiz Chandler
about his proposed name. He pre-
ferred the name Dolphin, as being
more suggestive of speed at sea. When
Chandler argued the Importance of
keeping in mind the heroic resistance
of the colonial militia, and the brill
liant opposition offered to Pitcairn's
men, General Arthur asked him:
what is it that you propose to call
this ship?'
"The Concord answered Chandler,
giving the approved New Hampshire
pronunciation.
"There," retortad Arthur, inviting
the attention Of Captain Reeder. do
you hear that? Conquered. Do you
think that a good name to give a
ship<ofwar? Then suppose You change
the pronunciation, and call it Concord,
just as spelled. Does it not strike you,
Chandler, that there is q degree of
Concord in the presence of a vessel of

The new ship was called the Dolphin,

READ HIS CHARACTER.

Mark Twain's Humorous Experiences
- with Pa1mist and Grapho1Ogist.
Mark Twain has been made to show
his hand, and the result has been pub
lished in the new number of Border
land. His hand was photographed and
submitted to four experts in palmistry.l
Their versions of his character were
then sent to Mark himself, who thinks
they have done some wonderful things
with them. One lady made ''only three
or four errors. Each error" says Mark,
twas compliment to me, SO l prize.
the errors above the facts" AnothcEf
palmist discovered "a strain of South
ern female blood. The strain dates
back, 240 years; am to believe that
my hands still advertise it?" The
third expert made ten hits and fifteen
misses; the fourth seventeen hits and
eight misses The aforementioned hand
reader ''made one disastrous hit which
not even my mother could have made,
but it is true hit, nevertheless. Am
l going to point out these things? Not
if l can get excused"
But the unkindest cut of all remains
to be noticed. Of the four experts who
undertook to read his character from
his hands only one discovered any
sense of humor in Mark Twain. "It
may be-" he says, that the three are
right"
However, Mark might go further and
fare worse. Not content with the YER
dict of the palmists, Borderland next
put him on trial before the "grapholo-
gists." He came out of the ordeal
lacking in decision, inconstant, illog-
zeal, insincere, absolutely devoid of
feeling merely specifically cultivated,
self-conscious, and wanting in moral
rectitude." Decidedly, as the editor
says, Mark Twain should pray to be
judged by his hands rather than by his
handwriting

Higher than the Eagle.

When we speak of the soaring eagle
and Of his power to look with steady
eye upon the sun, we should not forget
that there is a bird larger and heavier
than the eagle which has the power Of
rising in its fight to a greater distance
above the earth than any other bird.
The bird in question is the condor of the
Andes, South America. The sight of a
flock of condors sailing in midair must
be a beautiful one People who have
watched them say that, except when
rising from the ground, not one Of them
has ever been seen to flap it's wings.
They move in curves sweeping in cir
cles, descending and ascending with q
floating motion. 1t is wonderful to see
such q great bird hour after hour, with
out any apparent eXertion, gracefully
wheeling and gliding over mountain
and river.
2 Humboldt claims that the condor
scars to a height of at least twenty
three thousand feet above the sea, and
height of six miles.
The strange thing is that from such
an elevation, where the air must be so
highly rarified, the bird will drop sud-
denly to the valleys, thus in the briefest
time passing through an almost incred-
ible change of temperature. But it
loves the heights, and they are it's chos-
en- home. 1t is when away up at great
height that the condor brings it's keen
eye to bear upon the movements Of a
herd of cattle far beneath. When some
weak member of the herd falls to the
ground, the condors sweep down to the
feast and gorge themselves until they
no longer have power to rise, when the
Indians appear and moose them with
the laSSO.

ular courses, but this was found too
expensive, and the new ''fad.'' as many
term it, was Incorporated among the
studies of the regular hours. A strong
objection to the study is that the great
majority of children do not remain long
enough in school to learn to read, write
and speak correctly, and also that to
take the time which the law intends
shall be devoted to these studies, for
intoxicating knowledge in which only
part of the children may be benefited,
as the boys must remain idle while the
girls are receiving their sewing lessons,
OF take up another fad" in which case
Il larger number of special teachers
would be required, is a perversiOn Of
the purposes for which the school funds
are raised. The average Chicago boy
is out of school at eleven to twelve
years of age, and it is essential that
whatever instruction he receives, be
made as thorough as possible.

he desired only tc receive the old,

innocent request was readily complied

An Arm1ess TeIerranher.

There is a remarkable telegraph OPP
orator and typewriter in the employ Of
the Postal Telegraph-Cabl Company,
in Philadelphia. His name is Martin
Fisher. He is minus his right hand
below the elbow, and has but the thumb
and two fingers of his left hand. Yet he
is one of the best operators connected
with the office. He is about 80 years
old, and has been in the telegraph bust
ness about twenty years. He handles
newspaper specials, which require ac-
curacy and speed, and the letters on
many of the keys of his typewriter
have been rubbed off by the rapid ma
nipulation of his thumb and two fin
gers.
