The resolution of the board of super
visors in 1884, submitting to a vote the
question Of selling the present site and
using the proceeds in purchasing other
grounds and building anew court house
was prepared by County Attorney
Sherman, in accordance with the in
structions of the board, after an inves-
tigation which revealed that the board
had an unconditional right to sell. AS
the legal advisor Of the board Mr..
Sherman was called upon to pass upon
the validity Of that title and ascer-
tanned that the right to sell was indis-
iputable.

JAPAN's SECULAR SCHOOL.

Yokohama, September Ia (via
Victoria, b. O., October 1.)-Tbe
Japanese Government, having de.
cidede to keep its system of edu-
cation strictly secular, follows it's
decision by Withholding its sane
ton and privileges from all
schools in which religion in any
form is taught. This has, of
course, been construed as an at
tack upon Christian schools,
which, having been founded by
various propaganda boards, are in
effect almost the only ones to cuff
fer from the new policy. Some
have already been closed, and all
are being greatly depleated in at
tendance because of superior ad-
9antages and privileges which
purely secular schools enjoy. The
missionaries in charge are placed
in an awkward diem ma, for if
they eliminate the teaching of
their religion they must lose the
of the home boards, upon
which they are largely dependent.
while If they attempt to carry out
The main purpose for which they
ire sent here their schools will in
,vitsbly lunguish and die for lack

New YorIl's Ilttle shops,

New York, with all its greatness, IS
IN some respects the most condensed
place on earth. Down in Mulberry
street there is a shop just wide enough
for a cobbler's bench and hardly long
enough to permit three customers to
stand in line. Here the industrious
doctor of soles sits all day long and
plies his trade, interrupted occasional
iy by a customer, who obscures his
day light.
There are cigar stores so diminutive
that man can scarcely turn around
in them. In Broadway, not far from
Herald Square, is q place for the sale
of the fragrant weed in which GUS
toner can hardly lift his arm without
knocking down box of cigarettes
or a pile of stogies It's the proper
thing for the purchaser to back out
Of the place after cautiously applying
the match to his recently acquired
cigar.
Smallest of all is restaurant near
the South ferry, where there are a
shelf and three chairs, and the pies are
placed on edge. On busy days those
who desire the particular brand OF
crullers, stew and coffee offered there
for sale are obliged to wait outside the
aoor for a place at the shelf.

First Nan1cs

In 1879 more than half the men were
called John or William, says a writer
in Notes and Queries, while more than
three quarters were called either
John. William, Thomas, Richard or
Robert, which in common parlance
must have been Jack. Will. Tom, Dick
or Rob, since among the commonest
patronymics are Jackson, Wilson,
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 fewer are Geof-
frey, Alan, and Stephen; Dennis and
Jacob occur only once in four hun
bred names. Martin and Peter once In
eight hundred.
In the thirteenth century William is
the commOnest name. In the four
teenth and following centuries John
is first, with William second. Thus
in Bishop Hatfed's survey forty per
cent. Of the men are named John, fol-
lowed by William with twenty-five per
cent, while if we add Robert and
Thomas, eighty per cent. Of all the
mems names are accounted for.
From the York wills it appears that
in 1886 John heads the list with sixteen
per cent. William follows close be-
hind with fifteen per cent. Thomas is
twelve per cent, followed by Richard
and Robert with eight per cent. each.
Henry and George are only half as nu-
erous still fewer are Roger, Ralph,
Nicholas, Edward, James, Charles,
Francis, Humphrey, Anthony, Gilbert.

The late Roswell P. Flower, of New
York, used to tell sCme amusing stories
of his Congressional eXl erience.
The House of Representatives is the
only place | ever got into where money
didn't count" he remarked the last
time l saw him, two months or more
before his death. "A rich man is act
ually handicapped there. In the first
place, country member is naturally
prejudiced against the Representatives
from the city, particularly those from
New York city. They seem to think
that the New Workers are a lot of high
waymen. You find the same spirit in
national conventions and State legis-
latures, and the fact that a city dele
cation wants something is a good rea-
son why countryman should vote
against it, The easiest way to kill a
bill in Congress is to have the New
York Chamber of Commerce send in a
memorial asking its passage. Then
every countryman will vote against 1t
sure.
When the city member is rich that
makes him all the worse. During the
first session I was IN Congress I spent
more than $4,000 trying to convince
my fellow members of the House OF
Representatives that I w2s good fel-
low. I gave them dinners and wine
and picnics and set 1t up for them every
chance I got, and while they enjoyed it
as much as anybody, it only made them
suspicious. TAey could not understand

Iinrn on a NNAfCh

ut is bad practice to be continually
setting a watch by the stem-setter,
observed n watch repairer to a report
er, "for it has a tendency to wear out
the band that attaches the hands to
the pinion. The hands are frightened
to the pinion as firmly as they can be,
and every setting loOsens them some
what. There is class of persons who
set their watches every day rather
than give little attention to the mat
ter OF regulating them. They find that
the watch gains or loses a minute or
q few minutes in each twenty-four
hours, and instead of curing this by
the regulator, which is put in the
watch for that purpose and no other,
they force back or forward the hands
by the stem-setter or by key. If the
hand pinion wears out, which it fire.
quently does, it is considerable of a job
to put in new one or place new hands
on it, and the work necessarily costs
something, for watch repairers have to
charge for their work. If a person
knows that a watch gains Or loses
a certain amount in each day, it is
better to calculate back or forward
than to be continually setting it. A
little study of the regulator will do the
work much better, without the risk OF
wearing out anything"
