An Uncanny Occupation.
N the Philadelphia Record.


Old Mike Deisem, who lives in Kensing-
ton, can claim as odd a calling as any man
in America. Mike has been a well-known
character along the river front for several
generations. and his peculiar ways and
queer looks have made him famous in Ken
sington. His ostensible means of living is
the sale Of driftwood that he picks up in
the river, but Mike will tell you that by
far his greatest income is derived from the
dead bodies he gets floating in the river
Mike has been engaged in this work for
sixty years, being now nearly ninety years
old, and he explains his method of work
as follows: In rowbcat he stations him
self at point in the river near Washing
ton Park for each tide, experience having
taught him that certain current there will
bring anything within his reach. He picks
up anything of value that comes along,
but it is when the swift tide brings
a corpse within his grasp that he puts off
for the city at full speed. Since the first
of the year he has secured seven such
prizes, and his record since starting runs
up into the hundreds. He has preserved a
description Of each one. and says that in
but few cases has he failed to get a large
reward when the friends of the deceased
were found.

The Origin of Mr.. md Mrs.

From the London Times.
In earlier times the ordinary man was
simply William or John-that is to say, he
had only Christian name without any
handle" before it or surname after II.
Some meanssof distinguishing one John or
William from another John or William be-
came necessary.
Nicknames derived from a mans trade,
or his Dwelling place, or from some per-
sonal popularity, were tackled on to his
Christian name, and plain John became
John Smith AS yet there We're no mis-
tiers" in me land. Some John Smith &C
cumulated more wealth than the bulk OF
his fellows-became, perhaps, a landed pro-
prietor or an employer of hired labor. Then
he began to be called in the Norman French
of the day the ''maistre'' of this place or
that, of these workmen or of those.
In time the "maistre." or master" as
it soon became, got tackled on before his
name, and he became Master Smith and
his wife was Maistress Smith. Gradually
the sense Of possession was lost sight of,
and the title was conferred upon any kind
by mere possession of wealth. or holding
some position of more or less consideration
and importance.

FIRE IN HYATTSVlLLE.
Three Buildings and Contents Go VI
in Smoke

in Smoke. -
Three buildings, besides goods to the
amount of about $1,000, were destroyed by
fire in Hyattsville ID yesterday, afternoon.
The fire originated about o'clock in a
stable Immediately IN the rear of Carr &
Co.'S grocery store. on Pike avenue, near
the depot Raymond McDermott, clerk,
saw smoke issuing from the loft, and i'm
mediately gave the alarm. The fire COM
pany responded promptly, but before it
reached the scene the warehouse of Carr
& Co. and the carriage shed of VIM. P.
Magruder had caught, and the corner of
the building occupied by Justice, Carr as an
Office was smoking threateningly.
About the same time colored man
named Jack BowleS discovered that the
fire had communicated to a can of coal oil
in Justice Cars front office, and the
flames were making Roadway in the room.
Henry Clarke and George McDermott
came to Bowles' assistance, and the blaze
within the building was quickly extin-
guished. Outside some thirty or forty men
were doing their best to prevent the flames
from spreading to the long row of frame
structures situated some thirty or rorty
feet from the burning buildings.
Blankets were saturated in water and
placed against the endar gered houses, and
a constant stream of water from the en-
CINE poured upon the flames.
Three wells were successfully exhausted
before the fire was gotten under control
and the adjacent buildings placed out of
danger. The fire company did excellent
work.
No one has any idea as to how the fire
originated. Many believe it to be the work
OF an incendiary. The fact that there was
a separate and distinct fire in Justice Carrs
office almost at the same time the flames
were discovered in the stable without
lends color to this belief.
The buildings of MessIs. Carr & Co were
valued at 81 800 upon which there Is a
policy of only $75 The stock consumed was
worth about $1,000, and was not insured
VIM. p Magruder's carriage house was
fully insured.

All doors had to be closed again during

1t must not be understood that Alexan-

the above is a cut of it. For a city of
twenty-one thousand Inhabitants, this
sprinkler has been and apparently is now
considered by the city fathers as amply
adequate. The man carrying the sprinkler
is partial paralytic, having no use Of
his left arm.
The practice Of watering the streets in
this manner Is always productive of much
laughter and ridicule on the part of stran-
gers and others. There Is but one of these
street sprinklers in existence, and the old

around each. When Gen. Garfield was
buried in Lake View cemetery the people
of the nation set out to raise $2OO,O0o to
build a monument worthy of his memory.
At the time of the dedication of the monu-
ment $4,000 Of the fund was lacking. rhe
deficit was raised by the nation and the
monument was left clear of debt.
From the cash register $1,000 a year is
extracted. But the thrifty association has
another source of profit. Inside the tomb
