Some of the Titles Intended For Our
Geographical Divisions.
1t was intended that Maryland should
be called Crescentia, but Charles l
changed it to Terra Marie, in honor OF
his wife, and we made it Mary's Land;
hence Maryland (home pronunciation,
Merrylon) William Penn wanted to
call his state New Wales, but afterward
decided upon Sylvania, to which the
king prefxed the word Penn. In 1884
an ordinance was drawn up as follows;
1.-The territory northward of the forty
fifth degree--that is to say, OF the conf
pletion of the forty fifth degree from
the equator and extending to the Lake
of the Woods-shall be called Syl-
vania." See what we missed! The ter
ritory under the forty fifth and forty
fourth degrees which lies westward OF
Lake Michigan was to be called Michi-
gania, while that to the eastward, with
in the peninsula formed by the lakes and
waters of Michigan, Huron, st. Clair
and Erie, was to be called Chersonesus.
Heaven forbade. ta-st4t et.a, @aa

third and forty second degrees, that to
the westward, called Assenisipia; that
| to the eastward, in which are the sources
of the Muskingum, the two Miamis OF
| the Ohio, the Wabash, the Illinois, the
Miamis of the lake, and the Sandusky
rivers, was to be called Metropotamia.
The country through which the Illinois
river runs was to be called Illinoia; the
next joining to the eastward. Saratoga,
and that between the last and Pennsyl-
vania. extending from the Ohio to Lake
Erie, Washington. All that region adj
jacent to which are the confluences OF
the Wabash, Shawnee, Tanisee, Ohio,
Illinois, Mississippi and Missouri rivers,
was to be called Polytamia, and that

RULES FOR CANDY MAKING.
Mrs. Rorer Tells How CONNECTIONS May he
Made at Home.

Mrs. s. T. Rorer tells how to make
Journal and gives the following rules,
which insure the success of the work:
Never stir the sugar and water after
the sugar has dissolved. Wipe down
constantly the granules forming ON the
side of the saucepan. Do not shake or
move the saucepan while the strip is
boiling. AS soon as the sugar begins to
boil watch it carefully, having III your
hand bowl of ice water, so that you
may try the strip almost constantly.
Have everything in readiness before be-
ginning If the sugar grains, use it for
old fashioned cream candy or sugar
taffy. 1t cannot be used for fondant.
Use only the best graduated sugar for
boiling and confectioners' xxx for
kneading. If your fondant grains with
out apparent cause, you may have boil
ed it a little too long. A few drops OF
lemon juice or little cream of tartar
will prevent this. Fondant is the soft
mixture which forms both the inside OF
the French candies and the material in
which they are dipped, and it is TO OBJ
tain this that the sugar is boiled.
After the sugar has reached the
soft ball, semihard condition, 1T
must be poured carefully into a large
meat plate or on a marble slab. Do not
scrape the saucepan or you will granu'
late the sirup Make your fondant one
day and make it up into candy the next.
| Never melt fondant by placing the
saucepan Immediately on the stove
| Prevent the danger of scorching by
standing the pan containing it in ba
sin of water If the melted fondant IL
too thick, add water most cautiously,
drop at time. A half teaspoonful more
than is necessary will ruin the whole
To cool candy place it in a cool, DIR,
place. To keep candy put it oetweel
layers of waxed paper in tin boxes. L
the day is bright and clear, the suga
loses its sickness quickly; therefor
select fine day for your candy max

piles Some Statistics.
ENGLAND'S TRADITIONAL POLICY.
Facts Concerning the Naval Strength OF
the Powers Now Assembling Their War
ships on the Coast of China-The De-
fensive Strength OF Our Navy.


WASHINGTON, Jan 5.-lSpecial Now
that the great powers of Europe are as
sembling their warships off the coast of
China and the newspapers and public men
the world over are studying the naval
strength of the nations, facts concerning
the naval effectiveness of the chief coun-
tries are particularly timely and interest
ing Representative Wheeler of Alabama,
who is genius in the statistical line, has
compiled from official reports figures
showing all the armored ships of foreign
navies armed with great modern guns pos
sessing range of over nine miles AS
might be expected, Great Britain is far in
the lead In fact, the power of the first
class fighting machines now in commits
sion in the British navy, with their heavy
armor and terrible guns, Is so great as III
most to defy the understanding.
Foreign Fighting Ships.
England has no fewer than SO of these
great modern fighting ships now in com
mission, all of them, excepting IL, built
within the last ten years. The thickness
of the steel armor on the hulls OF these
| ships ranges from to 20 inches and the
| draft of the vessels is from 22% feet to ~
| feet inches Most of them carry four of
these high power guns which send their
missiles effectively more than nine miles,
the total number of such guns in the fleet
of SO ships being lS1. The caliber of the
guns ranges from 1-5 inches to 1871
| inches.
| France has So ships of this class carry.
ing 1875 guns. On paper the first class
fighting craft of the French navy appear
to have greater power than those OF Great
Britain. But this Is not true when num-
Der of ships, armor and effectiveness OF
guns are taken into consideration. Eng
land is also vastly superior in second class
fighting ships, torpedo boats, etc.
Russia has 81 first class naval vessels,
carrying 80 high power guns.
Italy has IS, carrying SO guns,
Austria has 8, carrying 33 guns.
Germany has 80, carrying 125 guns.
Spain has 8, carrying IL guns.
1t should be remembered that the fore
going figures are only as to tho armoret
ships of the first class and as to the mar
batteries or highest powered guns. Th'
secondary and rapid fire batteries OF thes'
ships are not taken into account.

of the first class ships of foreign power
with the defensive vessels which the Unit

CHICAGO GIRL DESCRIBES HER FIRST

The news of the rehabilitation OF
Blenheim castle and the splendid
schemes of entertainment in prospect
there caused young Chicago woman to
give an account of her recent visit to the
Duke and Duchess of Marlborough in
their historic palace.
"The next morning after my arrival,
she says, II went down trif1e late, and
not seeing any one wendell my way to
the dining room. The table was not laid
and there wasn't soul in sight. Turn
ing about, wandered into the hail. and
seeing a footman asked him where the
family were breakfasting. He led me to
a room near the dining room, and there
about half the company of the night be-
fore and the duke and duchess were
breakfasting in the most absolute 81.
lence.
81 said Good morning to the duch-
ess. The duke was deep in his mail, and
one or two others nodded, but no one
spoke.
There seemed to be no particular
place assigned TO me, so | sat near the
duchess. Presently she asked me how
had slept. | sat ut the table five minutes
in absolute silence, and no one asked me
whether would eat or not. There were
no dishes of any kind on the table ex-
cept the plates people were eating from.
At last the duchess glanced up from
long letter, evidently from America
and seeing my furnishing condition said,
You must say what you will eat Then
she continued her letter.
"Irevolved this sentence in my mind.
I conned and parsed it. l attempted to
| spell it if thereby could grasp its
meaning. Was to speak aloud and say,
i wish mutton chops, and would they
rise <Aladdinlike from the table, on
would one of the distant footmen at the
sideboard hear me? Not for worlds
would have broken that gloomy, gla-
| cial English silence. On my visits to
| friends in New York have often re-

say. must confess prefer things more
evenly divided.
"Just here my partner OF the night
before strobe into the room and without
noticing any one made straight line
for the sideboard, where he seized a
plate and, pointing to covered chafine
dish, had the man serve him. This gave
me an idea, SO sped across the room
and likewise seizing plate pointed t1
the chatting dish and was helped tn some
deviled dish. Some boiled eggs then ap
pealed To me as being more familiar
Then / grasped a trumpet and told TIT
man to bring me some tea and toast
The sideboard was covered with al

thing particularly. II not. the men wer

would enjoy driving over or perchanc
