LIST OF ACOUAiN'rANCES.
Very Few Men Who Know by Name
1000 People

A small party seated in the Man
haitian club the other night was dis
cussing the question of acquaintance.
One well-known lawyer said he knew
as many people as any man in the room,
he did not care who he was. l asked
If he could say how many acquaint-
ances he had-not friends, merely. but
persons known casually and slightly,
says the New York Press. After think
ing it over he said: Ten thousand"
Il bet $50 to S." said another of the
party. that you cannot name 1000 per-
sons of your acquaintance and give you
all night to do it." The bet was made
and the lawyer began, friend keeping
the tally.
When, after two hours of hard think
ing, he had reached between 500 and
600, he was going very slow and strain
ing terribly. At midnight he was so
far from the 1000 mark that the party
broke up in disgust.
doubt II there is a man in this coun-
try who could write down the names
of 1000 acquaintance at a moments
notice. l don't believe there are Ave
men in the United States who are ac-
quainted personally with 10000 people.
Dan Lamont, secretary of war, is said
to know more faces than any other
man. He made study OF faces when
Mr.. Cleveland's private secretary and
became indispensable to the president.
1t might be said that there are many
politicians who know more than 10000
people personally. but you can't rely
upon a political acquaintance. The
politician has a way of pretending to
know every living man who has vote.
DR.. Chauncey NJ. Depew probably has
as wide an acquaintance as any man
We know. Many men remember faces
without being able to recall names.
That ia not an acquaintance. 1t will
not do to say we have seen such and
such a man before somewhere but can
not recollect his name.

No higher handed piece of national

Ono Of Uncle Sans Farms.

There is a most beautiful farm situat-
ed near the summit of the Little Belts
which is still in the possession Of Uncle
Sam. It is a matter Of wonder that no
enc has yet thought to settle upon it, as
it's value is destined to be considerable
when the boom comes Its soil is deep
and rich, and clear running water crosses
it's entire length. 1t lies protected on two
sides by heavy timber, pine and fir, and
is surrounded by grandly magnificent
scenery, such as virgin nature in this pic
turesque country only is able to supply.
Many weary, heartsick eastern gran
ger has pinned, aged and died in search
Of such a place. Many baron, duke or
titled son of nobility has squandered a
fortune and Travelled to the ends of the
earth vainly searching for such an es-
tate. And yet there is not one poor son
Of Japheth, titled or untitled, that we
will not conduct to that balmy sunny
district, free Of charge. All that is re-
CURED is that he be a citizen of the
United States and signifies his willing
ness to make this lovely nook his home

The soul Of Brooklyn electrician
has been sorely tried by the nocturnal
song Of cats. Night after night his we'll
earned rest would be broken by the solos,
duets and choruses which were given by
the feline congregation in his back yard.
One night, while he was lying awake
vowing deep and summary vengeance Oh
his tormentors, an inspiration came to
him. He had heard that the cat. like the
skylark, does not sing on the ground. It
must climb fence to find inspiration
Tor the outpourings Of its musical soul.
The electricians back yard is surround.
ed by high fence, which would invari-
ably be studded with dim silhouettes far
into the night. but they are there no
longer. The overwrought sufferer con-
ceived the idea of running wire through
which he could send powerful current
around the top Of the fence, the switch
bar being close to his hand. He says the
sweetest moment Of his life was when
the first cat bumped its back against the
wire. He joyously pressed the button.
There was a ragged, alternating current
kind of howl and an instantaneous
whisking Of a furry mass, and all was
still. Within a week not cat would
come within ten rods of that fence, and

Battle of the Buckles.

In petty war carried Oh between the
rival cites of Athens and Egeg a small
body Of soldiers entered the latter town.
They were met by an angry mob of
women who unclasped their girdles,
which were fastened with metal buckles,
and attacked the foe furiously. The sol
diers hesitated, not wishing to injure
the women, but the ARRAY became so
serious that they fed down the streets.
The women pursued them, using their
long sashes as lassos and striking the
enemy without mercy.
The case was afterward brought into
the courts, and, sorrowful to relate, was
decided against the Egeans, for the
judges decreed that henceforth no Egean
woman should wear a buckle. The
Athenians thereupon took special pride
in this ornament, which they TAINTED
before the eyes Of their rivals. Current

Fad and Tip.

A recently published article on the
derivation of the word ''fad'' speaks of
it as being Of Welsh origin. giving
"fedd" as the root word. A correspond
emit writes on the subject: 1.-The word
fad is manufactured word, not given
by Worcester. It has been in use only q
short time, comparatively, and while it
may be derived from the Welsh it is
more probable that it is made from the
initial letters Of the words for day. ,
The word tip originated, it is said, in
that way. The story goes that in an old
time English tavern q receptacle for
small coin was placed in conspicuous
place over which appeared the legend,
To insure promptness. Whatever was
placed in the box was given to the serv-
ants. Other taverns followed the exam
pie, and soon the three words were writ
ten T. I. F., everybody knowing what
they indicated. Then the punctuation
marks were dropped, and the word tip
was born. Fad and tip are Of the
same class and kind
