"Penn's MiIestOnes.'

For the last three months or more
an unaviling search has been made by
parties interested in the collection OF
historic relics for some trace OF the
old miestones that in generations
gone by marked the distances on the
old Gulf and Havetford roads III Mont
gomery county. These milestones,
carved out of sandstone blocks, were
known as "Penn's milestones," be-
cause on one side of them were craven
William Penn's arms, three balls in
closed in an oblong, often spoken of
as the "apple dumplings. The stones
were placed on the roads by an old
fire insurance company as a price for
it's charter from the Penn family, and
gave the distances in miles from Phil
adelphia. Several of the stones were
standing for the guidance of travel
ers as late as fifty years ago. Apro-
pos of the three balls on the arms of
Founder Penn, there was once tra-
dition, of course unfounded, that Penn
was feasted with dumplings by the In
dian King Tammany at the Trea.y
tree, and thereafter adopted three
balls to represent dumplings on his
coat Of arms. ms.-Philadelphia Record.

A Prince Comes Visiting.

Crown Prince William of Prussia is
expected to pay visit to the United
States next year. This youth, the
heir apparent to the TIN one of the
German Empire, who is now in his
eighteenth year. is an intelligent,
well-bred and manly fellow. Like all
the six sons of Kaiser Wilhelm, he has
been carefully trained, especially in
military matters. Prince Frederick
has been a colonel in the German
army since he was ten years old. He
is a fearless rider, an accomplished
fencer and as we'll educated all around
as is possible for youth of his age.
Yet withal he is said to be quiet,
studious lad, fonder of his books than
of his horse OF his gun, and more
likely to defend his own country than
to attack others. Thanks to his SIM
pie out-of-door life, his health is ex-
cellent, and he is we'll grown and
physically perfect. - New England

First Names.

In 1879 more than half the men
were called John or William, says a
writer in Notes and Queries, while
more than three-ouarters were called
either John, William, Thomas, Rich
ard or Robert, which in common par
lance must have been Jack, Will Tom,
Dick, or Bob, since among the COM
monest patronymics are Jackson, Will
son, Thompson, Dixon and Robson.
Other names are less usual, Henry
and Adam being each three per cent
Roger and Hugh are only two per
cent. while Walter, Simon, Ralph, and
Nicholas are one per cent. Still few er
are Geotfrey, Alan and Stephen;
Denis and Jacob occur only once in
400 names, Martin and Peter once in
500.
In the thirteenth century William
is the commonest name. In the four
teenth and following centuries j ohm is
first with William second. Thus in
Bishop Hattields survey 40 per cent.
of the men are named John, followed
by William with % per cent; while if
we add Robert and Thomas 80 per
cent. of all the mems names are ac-
counted for.
From theYork wills it appears that
in 1886 John heads the list with 16
per cent William follows close be-
hind with Is per cent. Thomas is -
per cent, followed by Richard and
Robert with per cent. each. Henry
and George are only halfas numerous;
still fewer are Roger, Ralph, Nicholas,
Edward, james, Charles, Francis,
Humphrey, Anthony, Gilbert, Law
renee and Joseph.

THE JEWELS OF THE NIGHT.

Night is Lover that wooes the Earth
With jewels and crystals bright,
Crimson and golden he heaps them up,
Yellow and sulph' rous white
He buysth them all for bitter price,
And granteth her hearts delight.
Cities are clustering brooches fine
To pin at her bosom fair,
The town and the misty roadway lamps
Are stars for her sombre hair,
And the cleaning lights Of the roadside inns
Are rings that her fingers wear.
He bindeth belt of cities and towns
To shine where his arm embraced
At the ragged edge of the lisping lakes
Are the wharves and the houses placed,
CLEAN into CLEAN, till they shine at last
A girdle to clasp her waist,
Dim where the mighty ocean means,
The ships and the vessels float,
Faint, where the lonely darkness leads
Through the pathways obscure, remote
Till Night hath made Of the harbor lights
The gems for his mistress throat.

Oriental Ways.

The ameer of Afghanistan seldom
parts with any money in discharge Of
his obligations. When he is asked
for money he never rudely refuses.
His method belongs to the suaviter in
modo style throughout. "My friend, :"
he exclaims, "what is mine is yours.
Take anything you want. Is there
anything / have that you want and
can think Of? II SO, take it, my friend,
take it to your house" Rupees, how
ever, his highness can never be per-
suaded to part with. He will send
them by and by; he will send them at
once. His friend may take laos for
the mere asking. But the friend asks
and asks and asks again and withal
never gets lac. Cleveland Plain

"M. D." Was His Trade.

A Canadian river steamer was re-
Gently the scene of an amusing blum
der. A lady passenger was taken ill
in the night, and the steamer did not
carry doctor. The list of passen-
gers was read through, and in it there
was the name, "James Thompson, M.
D." The steward ran to the passen-
gers berth, and aroused him by Wig
orous blows at the door.
"What's the matter? Is the boat
sinking?" came from within in a
startled tone.
"There's passenger ill, and we
want your assistance, DOCTOR" replied
the steward.
"What are YOU playing at?" growled
the voice. 'I amt no DOCTOR"
"Why, you have got M. D. after
your name?"
"Well, can put them letters after
it if 81 like, can't -" said the voice
within. "That's my trade. I'm a

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIas, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FI9 SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and it's acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUF
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
