Naming Children in Germany.

In some provinces of the German
empire there is an old decree in force
forbidding the giving of names not
found in the calendar of saints or
taken from ancient history. An Eng
ish gentleman writes to the London
News, saying that while in Germany he
wished to have his son baptized Fran
els, but was prevented by the authori-
ties from doing 50 on tho above-named
grounds. He explained that Francis is
short for Franciskus. which is in the
German calendar. and that Sir Francis
Drake and Francis-Bacon might be re-
garded as belonging to ancient history.
But no attention was paid to this plea.
He finally appealed TO the courts, but
the case was decided against him, and
he viii have to pay fine or be sent to
prison

TWO MEN--TWO DOGS.
Trifies With Which the Chinks in the Bust
est Lives are Stuffed.

There are two men in this town, not
able in their personalities, who are fol-
lowed each eternally by a dog of
especial oddity. One of these indlVidu-
ais is a reporter and the other police
man. But as both of these are too well
known for any delineation by an ordi-
nary Faber we confine ourself 10 a
fall down on their dogs. The reporter
dog is a sleek, aforementioned, brass
eyed purp, the shadow of his master is
nothing save that he is never absent
from his side day or night nor between
times. He dead-headS it everywhere,
which has given rise TO a regular war
among the mortormen. He is equally

a dog has the call on this canine, but

tory snore which has caused him of
late to be regarded as hoOdoo by the
occupants of the telegraph operator 3
and reporters room, and his promises
of long life is not assuring.
The other canine is equally devoted
to his masters heels. He is a small.
runty fast, blind of one eye, fifteen
years old. deaf as the dead, and was
born without a tail. The hair from one
entire side disappeared years ago
through the agency of an unexpected
pot of hot water. But his chief char

mentioned. is his howl, which consists
of the most pitiful wall ever set up out

THE COLONEL AND THE SNAKE.
Shocking Outcome of the Professors Ex-
pertinent IN Natural History.

Shocking Outcome of the Professors Ex-
pertinent IN Natural History.
A well-known professor of natural
history and an amateur taxidermist, re-
siding in a northern suburb of Chicago,
was in the city to look at some South
American snakes procured for him by
"a local dealer in foreign animals. The
reptiles, SAYS the Times-Herald, were
all that the professor desired. The
purchase was made. the snakes were
chloroformed and the professor placed
them in a blue cloth bag he had car
ried with him for the purpose. He then
went to the northwestern depot, took q
seat in the smoker, placed the bag be-
side him on the seat and proceeded to
enjoy a cigar and the afternoon paper.
On the same train q quartette Of Chica-
90 business men usually meet for a
quiet rubber on their way TO their sub
urban homes. They happened to have
their seats on the other side of the aisle
from the professor. On Ethe opposite
side facing the professor, one OF the
players called the colonel had his seat.
The colonel is known for his weakness
for Kentucky juice and carried his us
ual allowance on this occasion. The
play started and so did the train. All
of sudden, as the colonel arranged
his cards, he happened to Look over to
the professors seat; he was.observed:to
start. and was evidently disturbed
about something. Thisi-was repeated
several times during the journey, and
the colonel was playing in bad luck
and had to stand the joking Of his fell
low players.
Three of the players had now reached
their stations and said good-by to the
colonel, who had little further to
travel. Suddenly a peculiar hiss was
heard. The professor started up, looked
at his bag for second and then with
practiced hand caught'the head of
snake protruding from a. bag.
The colonel had been an interested
witness of the incident, and a feeling
of relief seemed to pass over his face.
Turning to the professor he said: $50
it is real live snakes. Good God, I
thought surely 1 had them; why in
thunder do you carry such beastly YER
min around with you?' The professor
explained the reason and that probably
one of the snakes had not been suffi-
GENTLY chloroformed.
The colonel has had to stand good
deal OF joking since then and has been
inviting his friends TO his favorite dis
pensary.

TERRIBLE Triple,
The Awful Mistake OF Some LsquOr-Lovina
LaDorere.

"Soue years ago, said the roadmaster
If an up-country, reports the New
York World, "a, curious thing hap
pened in the freight shed here which
scared the boys terribly. We received
large shipments of whisky which are
unloaded at the junction from one
road and transferred to another The
barrels generally lie in the freight
shed day or two before they are put
on board. 1t is an old trick among
freight handlers to knock hoop little
out OF nlace and bore hole in the whisky
barrel After generously 'sampling the
contents the hole is plugged up and
the hoop'knoclked into place again. The
companies often complain of shortage.
but proof,of the milking as they call
it, is very hard to obtain.
"a casl1 came in one day which un,
mistakably contained whisky, and ow-
ing to theiirregularity of the address it
was held for instructions. For several
days it lay in the freight shed, and by
means of a small hole and straw the
barrel-pushers soon tested the liquor it
contained. An of them considered the
flavor to be remarkably fine. Finally
one of the more reckless said: "Say,
boys, this barrel will never be claimed.
Let's smash in the head The others
soon agreed, and in q jiffy one of the
men broke IN the head with a Ratchet
"'My Godr he shouted, there's man
inside. and he fell in faint beside the
barrel.
s. Whatr yelled the others, and they
all made q rush to the cask. Sure
enough, there was a man inside, stark
naked and with the top Of his head
neatly removed, showing the brain.
Some medical students had slipped the
body in barrel of alcohol to medical
professor, and By an error in address
ing IL the barrel was detained.
''Weu, this was better than any pun
ishment for the whisky-steelera That
little thing saved the whisky-shfppers
many hundreds of dollars, for not a
man has since sampled any spirit caslA
1t was q little too much for them"

with mingled feelings of hate and su-
perstitious dread. They will tell you
that the only chance of recovery from
its bite is for the patient to commence
dancing without delay and to continue
until he falls senseless from exhaustion
"a remedy which, ridiculous as it
seems, has something to be said in its
favor, when we know that the one
danger to overcome isthe tendency to
sleep, says mbersJ Journal. As long as
this can be successfully avoided the pa
.tient is in no danger; but If he give way
and allows himself to fall into stupor,
then he is likely to succumb, even from
the comparatively mild poison Of the
European variety.
It is in the tropical countries of
South America. however, where all
forms of insect and vegetable life at
tain their highest development, that
this great spider is most deadly. And
further north, in the provinces of Mex
leo, where it is quite as numerous,
its poison is only slight degree less
dangerous. There we have met it
everywhere and studie6sits habits. In
the open prairies we have watched it
attack enemies many times its own
size, and marveled at the ease with
which it overcaIne them. Even its own
kind are not exempt from its fierce on
slaught. and we remember once seeing
pair of them meet on the upturned
root of fig tree and fight duel to the
death-the death of both. OF man it
seems to have no fear whatever, and

upon its four hind legs. 1t opens wide
its enormous fangs until the maadibles
protrude in a straight@ine from its face;
then. with all the Muscular force it is
capable of, launches itself forward,
sinking them with vicious thrust
deep into the flesh of the enemy.
