Smith, Jeqes tand Robinson. It is a

land, are the three most popular proper
names in that country; and Smith in
the United States. it is we'll known,
stands unchaNehged at the head Of the
list OF proper names, too. The distinc-
ton long held in England by Smith and
Jones has been sustained by an inquiry
recently made into the birth certificate
returns in that country. but the proper
name of Robinson is seen by the same
inquiry to have fallen from it's former
place of prominence to that of twelfth
upon the list. In both England and Scot
land Smith is the most common proper
name; in England Jones comes second
and in Scotland Mcdonald. The pro
minenee and popularity of the nan !
Jones, however, is less due to I'll. 9
partially of the English than t
that of the Welsh. for Jones .
the most common name among the
Welshmen, and as in all official compila-
tions of birth certificates Wales is In
cluded with England, the name Of Jones
stands higher on the list than a traveller
in England proper might be justified in
supposing. 90. -.
Brown is a popular family name In
England, being sixth upon the list, but
more 80 in Scotland where 1t is third.
There are quite number of Browns, toe
in Ireland, as the official reports show,
and many Smiths too, there being, in
fact, more persons named Smith In Ire
land than there are O'Briens, Smith COM
ing fifth in the list Of proper names, and
O'Brien sixth. At the head of the list in
Ireland is the name Murphy. Kelly fol-
lows second, Sullivan third, and Walsh
fourth. A proper name common with
in the three kingdoms is Thompson,
which occupies the fifteenth place in
and the forty second place in Ireland.
Still another name popular in the three
kingdoms is Johnson. Wilson is still an
otner, and so is Clark.
The official figures recently compiled
in London show the somewhat peculiar
fact that Hughes as proper name is
more general in England than in Ireland.
Moore is more general in Ireland thc 4
in England, and Campbell, not found
among the popular names in England ]

Scotch names are Robertson, Stewart

o'Neill, Reilly Mccarthy, Gallagher and
Lynch are tae. .nrpper names most gene1'
ally met with, and there is to be noticed,
generally, ar greater similarity between
the English and 1.-the irish proper names.
This is due TO q considerable measure, as
all students of Irish history know, to the
penal regulations established by the
English invaders, which prescribed the
assumption of English names in many
parts of Ireland, whereas the Scotch ad-

OF which the subsequent seven we're
practical duplicates, was as follows:
Hunter GU; Blackburn 43, Davie

three votes of heing elected. This
was the first day that more than one
ballot had been taken and it was re-
garded as final play of the Hunter
forces to force his election. a Attempts
were made to adjourn at the end of
the 18th ballot, delaying the next
ballot one hour. The chamber pre-
sented anything but a dignitied ap-
pearaace. nearly every member
making commotion on tho adjourn

which held a caucus last night, re-
ported 48 silver Democrats ready To
vote for Bradley and nine gold Dem

they had enough votes to make an
election. Rumors of bribery and
corruption are in everybody's mouth.

BEE BUZZES,

Never leave newly hived swarm near
the place where it has clustered.
Combs not in use SHOULD be stored
where bees and mice cannot get to them.
If it is desired to get at the hive In the
middle of the day, always approach it from
the side or rear.
Old queens are moro inclined to swarm
than young ones; hence it is often a good
plan to requiem with young ones.
Two drones cost as much to raise as
three workers, and after they are raised
they keep on eating while the workers
labor.
Combs partly filled with unseaIed honey
should be put in the upper ssory of some
of the hives until the honey is taken by
the bees.
The use of comb foundation not only
saves good deal of labor and time to the
bees, but it also secures straigbt combs in
the frames.
Bees usually swarm because they get SO
populous in the hive that there il not room
enough to store honey, rear brood or be
oomforta BILE.
Any colony of bees may be readily
changed to pure Italian stotk by removing
the old queen and introducing an Italian
In her place.
IL is well TO remember that combs cost
the bees about ten pounds Of honey for ey
cry pound of comb; hence they should be
taken care of.
1t Is mistake to allow q colony of bees
to become oyerstocked >gith droncs. When
bees are allowed to build their own comb
they are almost certain to do this.-St
Louis Republic.

SILVER'S ADVANCE.

Silver yesterday went above so
cents for the first time since it's diz
zy tumble last July. At that time
the eastern vultures tumbled over
each other in their enthusiastic iov
at the decline in market price of the
white metal, and predicted that it
would never again rise above 80
cents an ounce. Some of our Mon
tana goldbug contemporaries, from
sheer force of habit in copying what
they saw in the big metropolitan
gold bug papers of approved admin
istration politics, or perhaps through
assisted editorials from the sound
Hanna literary bureau, also gave ex-
preston to similar views with arpa-
rent exultation. The steady rise in
the price of silver is rather puzzling
to the gold bugs. The explanation
is simple. Silver cannot be produc-
ed in any vuantity even in the rich
er silver mines of the west at cost
OF 80 cents an ounce, so about all
the silver mines in the country shut
down, and the supply has been so
limited that even the trhing de-
mand existing after its use for coin
age has been shut off by Legislation
all over the world, as a result of the
goldbug conspiracy, cannot be met.
Hence the rise in price. While the
price of silver has only an incidental
bearing on the great question of BIZ
petallism, yet viewed from the point
of local interests, even the slight rise
above 80 cents is welcome. as it will
add to the probability that the few
silver mines still operating in a small
way in Neihart and elsewhere will
continue to struggle along till the
coming of the prosperity that will
dawn in 1900 with the triumph of
justice and equity to all tue people
Then silver will resume its old place
among the money metals and it will
be worth $1.29 an ounce Great

SAILED THE COW TO A FAIR.
And This Cape Colder Captain Got First
Prize In "a Special Glass.

And This Cape Colder Captain Cot First
Prize In a Special Glass.
When was down on Cape Cod,
heard an amusing story about an old
sea captain and his COW. Captain Pat
terson, after sailing the sea for more
than 40 years, finally retired to a little
farm near Barnstarle, where he settled
down, with a horse, COW and two or
three dozen hens. His COW, though u
lank and rather stubborn creature, was
said to come from very good stock, and
when the Barnstaple people took it into
their heads to have fair Captain Pat
terson determined to exhibit his COW.
But when the day came for driving
her to the grounds the COW showed that
she had mind of her own and would
not bulge step beyond the farmya1d
gate In vain the old captain tugged at
the rope, pummeied her sides and push
ed her tianks. The COW wanted to go
to pasture and was bound she Wouldn't t
go to the fair
captain Patterson patience was
very nearly gone, when suddenly an
idea occurred to him Though he was
not strong enough himself to force the
COW to go to the fair his training sug-
gested something that was. Tying the
cow to the gatepost, he went up into
the loft of his barn and threw down an
old sail stepped to dory mast Then
ne put horses blanket belt through an
iron ring, strapped the belt around the
COW inserted tho o1,l ,VF a,
ring and bound the mast to the SHE o.
the COW with some 90 feet of rope.
The wind blew "quartering " and
when the captain united the COW and
raised the sail the canvas swelled out
over the cows back, and away she went
Siding" down the road, mooing and
plunging and trying to stop herself in
vain Captain Patterson seized her tail,
and using it as rudder guided her
sklllfully in the right direction. With
every fresh puff of wind the obstinate
COW would be hurried along faster.
while the dust blew up in clouds and
the sail tapped and tugged as Captain
Patterson held to the mainsheet with
one hand and the cows tail with the
other
1t was a hard voyage for both c.
them, but not long one, and when
they came in sight of the fair ground
everybody ran out to see the remarkable
sight OF a COW being sailed through the
streets like ship. Cheers and laughter
filled the air, and when the captain
finally whirled his COW around at the
gate OF the fair ground and brought her
neatly up into the wind" the shout
that arose might have been heard two
miles away.
Unfortunately Captain Patterson's
cow did not take one of the prizes for
blooded stock, but the captain himself
was given a special prize by the fair
for 'the best advice for
getting balky cattle to market. Out
