Names oe streets.

There was discussion in progress on the question of naming the new streets of Washington and making some changes in the names of those already ohristened when a man, who has lived in the city long enough not to be face tiops at the expense of anything so trodden underfoot us a street is, began to say something.
 Whats the use of doing anything with the names of streets,' he in- quired, especially with the names of those that are fit as they are? Now, take the lettered streets as an example. They are named appropriately enough if the inhabitants would only live up to their opportunities. For instance, the first people should live on A street and the sweet people on B street, the navy people on o street, though the blind people would prefer it; the profane peo- pie on D. street, the egotistic people on street; the rurals are not to be pro. vided for, because there is no J street i; the Ingersoll people on L street, the printers on NJ street, the debtors on 0 street, the billiard players on Q street, the Chinamen on T street, the unselfsh people on U street, the married people on W street, the pest people,

Curious Customs.

A curious marriage custom obtains in the island of Himla, just opposite the island of Rhodes. The Greeks, by whom 1t is peopled. earn their living by the sponge fishery. No girl in this island is allowed to marry until she has brought up a certain number of sponges, which must be taken, from 8 certain depth. In some of the other Greek islands this demonstration of ability is required of the men, and if there are several suitors for the hand of a maiden her father be- stows her on the man who can dive best and bring up' the largest number of sponRes. .--

The "boys" of the Central Fire
Station have kick against Minister
Cooper. They claim that he is in-
terfering with their liberty and
changing the rules Of the depart
ment which have been made by
Minister King and been acceptable
to the "boys" as we'll as to the Gov
ernment. Mr.. Cooper, who acts as
Minister of Interior during the alb
sence of Captain King, is evidently
not aware that the fremen are
virtually prisoners, only being allow
ed one days liberty in thirteen.
They have not the same privileges
as policemen and soldiers who can
go where they please when off duty;
the fremen are virtually always on
duty from the Chief down. One of
the new Objectionable rules is, that
the men must not stand lettering in
front of the building but have to
spend their dreary hours in the
backyard. The Acting Minister has
also made rules for the working
hours of the "boys" which are very
annoying to them. We should sug-
gest that everything connected with
the department should be left with
the Chief and the Fire Commission
ers, who certainly know more about
the business than does the minister.
