Could Read Writing.

Apropos of the typewriter and its OIL
cial recognition at the court Of Germany
and its general triumph abroad. there is
one section of this country that has no
use for the machine. There is a mail
order house in Chicago, says the Record
of that city, which has no city trade,
but draws Its business entirely from rural
districts through the medium of catalogues
and corresp ondence. Some of the letters
received from the country patrons are not
only interesting as specimens Of chirog-
raphy, but very amusing when the convic-
tons they give expression to are consid-
cred. This house, in its infancy before
the innovation of the typewriter, sold
wagon to a farmer in West Virginia. The
correspondence was written in long hand
Then followed a lapse of twenty years,
during which time the farmer had no oc
casion to communicate with the mer-
chants. Two months ago he again wrote
for information concerning a wagon and
the reply, typewriter, was duly mailed
In a few days this answer came back:

In many places in Great Britain, and es-
pecially in some of the fishing villages of
Cornwall and of certain parts of Scotland,
such a thing as a genuine surname is
never even heard; every man in the place
is known by a nickname, says London An
swers.
brought about originally by the fact that
all the inhabitants have only had very few
surnames among them. One or two pre-
vailiug families have represented the pop
ulation and have married and intermarried
till trying to distinguish a man by his sur
name has only created confusion. And
even some of the nicknames have begun to
act in the same way. At a village not very
far from Wick the writer knows of some
fishermen who had originally been nick
named "Dumpy," and had left so many
descendants that other specific names had
been necessary to distinguish which of the
Dumps" was meant on given occasions.
At another village, not far from this one,
several mechanics nave in the same way
become the only known family names. The
writer was once in The general shop here
when small boy came In and asked for
some article, stating that it was for
Blower"
Blower" said the shopkeeper, (which
Blower? There are scores of Blowers!'
The child answered at once:
ITS for bow-legsit Blower, red-lugged
(eared) Blowers laddie."

H. c. Barnet is the name of one of the
victims in the Adams poisoning mystery
in New York. The name has been In every
New York paper probably 800 times in the
past month, and every person who has
read one of the New York papers could
hardly help knowing that H. c. Barnet
is dead-extremely dead. Nevertheless the
Supreme Court of the state of New York
the other day went through the form Of
summoning Barnet as a juror filming him
800 for non-attendance, and sending con-
stable to arrest him for contempt of court
in failing to obey the courts order 1t Is
a matter of doubt whether the court had
not read the papers, or whether it was
merely following official red tape to its
end.

study of tropical fevers. Dr. Koch is, to
begin at once an investigation of malarlal

will be to the east coast of Africa, after
which he will probably visit Central and

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Hon. William Sulzer of New York
has been suggested as Mr.. Cookers cam
didate for the Democratic leadership in
the House of the next Congress. Mr.. Sui
ger has accepted invitations to both the
$40 dinner and the 81 dinner in New York.
The Washington Post Qnd) says: I'm
the midst of all this shilly-shally conten-
ton and pickering over the Democratic
banquets to be given in New York next
month, the Hon. William Sulzer stands
erect, a figure of courage, vigor and de-
termination-a proud, though childlike
form. Hon William Sulzer, after hearing
all the arguments pro and con--may we
add and vice versa with reference to
the rival ceremonies, and having passed

eat both dinners. He will fare sumptu-
ously with Croker, Perry Belmont, and
the arstocracy of the Democratic party
one day. and he will sit down to leeks and
slumgullion with the riff-raff next day.
He is all kinds of a Democrat, is Suzer,
and he doesn't quail at any Democratic
function or responsibility. Heart and
soul. stomach and digestion, he is ready
for the party call. at any time, at any
place, and with any bill of fare"
In connection with the subjoined quota
ton from the Springfield (Mass) Republi-
can Qnd) 1t should be borne in mind
that the great Powers are preparing to

The Hague. The Republican says: THE
Baldwin locomotive works have recently
received orders for seventy locomotives
for Russias Manchuria line. The West
irghouse company also has large contracts
for the adoption of its brake on all Rus
sian lines. Such facts go to explain the
great activity in iron and steel. Warships
and military railroads are helping to do
the business"
The New York Commercial Advertiser
thus gives an insight into the methods OF
yellow Journalism: "A yellow paper is
reprinting a series OF stories of murder
and poisoning by Dumas. These stories,
it says, were favorites of Molineux and
from them he is believed to have imbibed
his poisoning propensities. And now, that
others may imbibe similar propensties and
