Chicago, Jan. 4.-The Liverpool wheat

Mr.. Blaine hadn't word to say, but
the japanese post went to another
man, all the same, and Kimberley
went to Central America.
Another story is told of Kimberley
equally creditable to his nimble wit.
One day he met young woman who
threw her arms impulsively around his
neck and kissed him. Seeing her mis-
take, she drew back and angrily ask

The Pronunciation Explained.

"There is a family in Virginia." says
Golfers Weekly, 1.-THE name of which
is spelled 'Enroughty,' but 1t is pro-
nounced Darby This fact, familiar
to many Americans, happened TO be
told by Miss Hayward at dinner In
London at which Mr.. Kipling was
present, when he broke In: You have
saved my reputation by telling that.
You are the first man, woman or child
who could back me up In it.
1.-THE explanation of the popularity is
that the Derbys were an English fami-
ly who settled In Virginia in the colo
NAL days. One of the sons, the tradl-
tional black sheep of the family, was
left a share in his fathers will on con-
dition that he changed his name. He
changed his written name to En-
roughly, but continued to call himself
Derby.

Kipling said, I think will change my

it will always be pronounced Kipllng,

THE OPEN MOUTH.
Said to BE n Survival of Babyhood
Tendencies.

Tendencies
Hiram NJ. Stanley advances n new
explanation of the tendency to open the
mouth in surprise and astonishment.
Darwin ascribed this tendency to the
intuitiye desire for quietness and eff
fectiveness of breathing and to mere
relaxation of the muscles. Mr.. Stanley
finds a deeper organic reason-namely,
that the open mouth Is the attention
sign, and is a primitive and constant
reaction with the young of many ami
mails for the reception of food-for ex-
ample, with birds.
Any sound or other stimulus immedi-
ately causes the young bird to extend
its mouth. With young infants the
same influence has often the same eff
feet. The mouth of the infant under
such stimulation usually assumes the
sucking form, and its smile when the
finger is pointed at 1t may be either
nascent or degraded sucking.
Mr.. Stanley maintains that the COM
mon and highly useful tendency of the
very young to open the mouth to all
stimuli, visual, aural, etc, continues as
a survival in after life, being especially
brought out with stimuli of high inten-
sity and unusual quality and thus be-
comes q mark of surprise and astonish-
ment. 1t is habit very common
among boys and girls to open the
mouth under any attention. The rise
of smiling and laughter as connect
ed with wit and humor-at the basis OF
which lies surprise-thus declares 1t
self as kind of attention expression.
Assuming that the primary express
sion of the mouth is feeding express
sion and that this probably has been
modified and evolved In connection
with a variety of attention phenomena,
Mr.. Stanley suggests that it would be
worth while to make detailed study
of expression in infants and young AMI
mails with this point in yiew.-St. Louis
Globe Democrat.

A RascnlIy Valet.

Won Bunsen told me that Humboldt
In his latter days was completely I'M
der the influence of n rascally valet
named seiffert, and, to the disgust of
his friends, bequeathed TO him all his
effects of little value, 1t is true, for the
old man left no property of any ac-
count. Even his private letters and
papers went TO the wretch.
The king and the queen, said Won
Eunsen, were for years In the habit Of
sending Humboldt n present on his
biahday. At length it became diff
cult to know what would be acceptable
10 the old man, whose wants were so
few and tastes so simple. 1t was their
habit to send an ald-de-camp TO him
few weeks before his birthday TO as
certain, IL he could, the sort of gift
likely to be most acceptable to him,
and whatever that might be, of course,
it was sent.
Shortly previous TO one of these an
niyersaries, and in reply to n similar
inquiry, the royal couple got word that

what in the world could have put 1t
into Humboldts head to ask for
double bed. having probably never
slept In one In all his life and having
been infatuated from childhood to- tho
least luxurious sleeping arrangements
imaginable.
The old man died, however, before
the expected birthday anniversary ar
rived. 1t then transpired that the
provident valet had concluded 1t would
be n nice thing for him and his wife to
have n spick and span new bed with
the royal arms upon 1t, and had taken
advantage of the kings regard for
Humboldt TO try getting one at their
majesties' expense.-John Bigelow In
Century.
