Naming Children in Denmark

Denmark is prominently the land Of
steady habits and uniformity. In the
list Of kings of the house of Oldenburg
Christians and Frederics follow each
other as regularly as treads and risers
in a staircase. Every King Christian
named his Oldest son after his royal
father Frederic, and every King Fred.
eric reverted to his own fathers name,
Christian, when a new crown prince was
born and christened. There was only
one break in the alternate line of Chris.
tians and Frederies during five cen.
turtles. One King Hans came between
two Christians. That was about the
time of the discovery of America, when
the unexpected was likely to happen.
Since the reformation every king has
named his eldest son after his father,
and by force of habit Christians and
Frederics have followed each other
with perfection of method. Royalty
has set the style, and the humblest sub.
ject has respected the time-honored Gus
tom until Denmark has been filed with
alternating crops Of Christians and
Frederics.-N. Y. Tribune.

FRENCH MENUS.
They Are q Thing Of the Past, and
English Is Now Used.

They Are G Thing Of the Past, and
English Is Now Used.
A gentleman who had noted the ten
dency upon the part OF the TestaUrateuTs
Of late to have their menu entirely in Eng
lish, asked one of them what brought about
the change from the old way, when French
was the popular form for every menu in
fTst-class establishments. He said:
"A change Of time and a change of taste.
There was a time when restaurants could
charge very big prices 1t was in good times,
and people didn't care much what they paid
so that the service was up to the very best.
Then we put the bill of fare in French as a
gentle deception. Few could read French,
and when they ordered pommes de teTre
they we're under the impression they were
getting French dish when, in fact, they
were getting plain everyday murphies with
the jackets on.
l remember many funny cases. AT one
time I had couple of young people at a
table and at the close Of the meal they or
dered cafe au lait, just because it brought up
the close Of the menu. When they were
served with coffee and cream they were
surprised, and the waiter said the girl said
to her beau: We'll, / know enough French
now to know that KAT aw layit is coffee. 1t
won't take me long to learn French, Willie,
if you keep coming here.
Another thing. In the old days the
French was a gentle deception. a man VINO
ordered pommes de teTre, say, was willing
to pay quarter for them, but he would have
kicked like a mule to be called upon to pay
that much for potatoes. People are eating
roast beef and beefsteak now, and French
dishes don't CO. | guess the nation is get

STATE WINS AGAIN.
Federal Judge Thayer Upholds tie
Kansas Stock Yards Law.
The States Contention Upheld on Every
Point aad Its Right 20 Regulate
Charges Fully Authorized
Appeal VIII Be Taken.

TOPEKA. Kan, Oct. 29.-The stock
holders Of the Kansas City Stock Yards
company met another crushing defeat
in the United States circuit court yes
terday. In lengthy opinion handed
down in the case fled to en-
join the enforcement of the new
Jaquins law, Judge Thsyer decided
every point in favor Of the state. His
opinion was even more sweeping than
the one handed down by Judge Foster
recently in the same case. Judge
Thayeg held that the state had a right
to regulate the charges of the stock
yards company. thai the new law
would enable the stockholders to re-
eeive a reasonable return on the CAPT.
tai invested, and that neither the ma
ture Of the business transacted by the
company nor the location of its yards
on each side of the state lire made it
interstate commerce.
Judge Horton, representing the
stockholders, gave notice Of an appeal
to the United States supreme court
Judge Thayer apprehended that this
would be done, and in the opinion he
provided a plan Of protection 70 the
stock shippers Of the west while the
case was pending. He required the
company to put up bond in the sum Of
$500, 600 with the clerk Of th g federal
court to reimburse shippers for over
charges made during the time the case
is pending, and Judge Foster, in addi-
ton, ordered the company to give
shippers or their agents a nemoran-
DUN Of charges collected for yardage
and feed so that the overcharge could
be computed without trouble. If the
law is upheld, the shippers will bring
their memoranda into conrt and get
their rebates there instead of going to
the company for them. Tho old rates
are to remain in force until the case
is finally determined by the supreme
court
The decree was drawn up yesterday
afternoon and entered on the docket.
It is in accordance with the contents
of the opinion. The company is given
ten days in which to file the $500. 900
bond. Judge Horton says that the
bond will be ready by that time He
also says that the case will be taken
up Immediately and that it will be
heard in the supreme court within 3
couple of years at least. The attorneys
for the state say that they will ask to
have the case advanced on the docket.
They claim that it is of such vital gen
eral Importance that the United States
supreme court will no doubt grant an
early hearing.
Judge Foster was very much pleased.
Judge Thayer had not only sustained
him on every point, but even went him
one better on one particular thing.
Judge Foster fixed SIS, 900 as the aver.
age amount of money necessary to
| keep up repairs at the yards annually.
Judge Thayer says in his opinion that
$50, 600 is sufficient.

Deafness Cannon BE cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of the mu-
eous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have a rumbling
sound OF imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine eases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition
Of the mucous surfaces.

THE TERM "EL DORADO"
Stories Of Spanish Conquest Days Pss
II In AdveRtEreEs' lEouthz.

Stories Of Spanish EGElUeEt Days EEg
II In AdvezfEFeEs' Mouths.
FL Dorado is the term now heard on
every side in connection with the placer
mines of Alaska and the northwest ter
ritcry of Canada. It's derivation Is Of
Interest. In the fifteenth century it
was rumorsd that there existed in the
northern part Of South America a city
Of great wealth called Manoa, whose
king, by name Ell Dorado. was period
ically smeared with oil Of balsam and
was then powdered with gold dust,
until his whole body had a gilded ap-
pearance. 1t was said that on these 0c-
easions he threw gold, emeralds and
other precious metals and gems into 8
sacred lake. in which he afterward
bathed,
Beginning in 1892 the Spaniards sent
many large expeditions to search for
this phantom city, and most of them
ended disastrOusly, hundreds OF lives
being lost. One explorer, Orellano,
aYerred that he found Ell Dorado in mis-
voyage down the Amazon in 1910. This
was disproyed, but the search was con-
tinued down to the eighteenth century.
Some of the results were the conquest
and settlement OF New Granada, the
making known to the world of the
lmGuntain region Of Venezuela, the dis
,overy of the noble rivers, the OTOnOco
and the Amazon, and the exploration
of the vast forests west of the Andes.
About the end of the sixteenth century
an English expedition either sent out
by or under the personal leadership of
Raleigh penetrated into Guiana, there
by obtaining a claim on that country
which has resulted in the requirement
of the modern British colony Of that
name.
It has been supposed that the origin
of the fable arose from the yearly cele-
bration of a tribe of Indians near Bo-
gotta, whose chief was on these occa-
sions gilded with gold dust, but this
ceremony was never witnessed by the
Spaniards, and the story may simply
be another version of the FL Dorado
myth.
The name Ell Dorado was commonly
used to describe the city or country
which was the object of the search, but
a later usage of the term has been its
ifgurative application with regard to
any region of more than common rich.
ness. FL Dorado county, in California,
was the scene of the famous gold fields
of 40, and since then the expression
has been used TO describe many gold
camps.

TInninr de Curate.

The ever-recurrent question Of tip
ping has taken on a new phase, and
curate has been writing to the papers
to complain that he is the only person
who gets nothing out of a wedding.
Clerk, vergeT, pew-oPener, policeman,
and all the rest are remembered" and
the wedding fee goes to the incumbent,
who sits at home at ease. It is a little
difficult to decide what is the smallest
sum that would not offend a curate. AT
any rate those about to marry might
make a note of it; and if it is FIVE
pound note ali the better for the curate.
