p. D.Armour's Name.

1t is told of Philip D. Armour of Chi
cago that he was not christened Philip
at all. He was named after his father,
Danforth Armour. Mr.. Armour is
quoted as giving this explanation re-
Gently of how he got the name of
Philip: 81 was named Phil after col
ored man who lived in our neighbor-
hood and was the terror of all the boys
The name of the fellow was Phil Nor
gan, and he was up to all sorts of capers,
and I suppose because I was so full of
pranks myself the boys called me Phil
too. The ID in my name stands for
Danforth. That was my fathers name
But the boys insisted on calling me
Phil, and Phil I remained, my mother
finally consenting to call me Philip D.

1t is stated that most Of the books in
the library of Mr.. Delane. the famous
editor of the London Times. which have
Just come into the market, are uncut
NOT uncut in the publishers sense OF
the word, but uncut by the paper knife.
A careful examination of the librarie:
of many men less busy than Delane was
would probably reveal "A similar state
Whether or not the circumstance is one
to make merry over is another matter.
There is every reason why a man who
is attracted to books should buy them
Mark Pattison insisted that large pro
portion of the income should regularly
be expended in that way-but there Is
no particular reason why every book
bought should be read at once. Prob
ably Delane anticipated a time when
be would have leisure to read every
thing he possessed.

pub1ic Eating Houses.

Public eating houses are established
in number of German cities to provide
meals for workingmen at cheap price;
SO as to do away with the evil effects Of
the dinner pail. Those in Chemnits
during 1898 sold 49,, 900 dinners; re
ceipts were SIT, 500 and expenditures
SIS, 500. The city of Grenoble, France
also maintains municipal restaurant
at which about 1900 meals day are
served.
AT the outset the enterprise needed
municipal aid, but it is DOW self sup
porting. The municipality owns the
property used, for which it receives.
nominal rent, and the accounts are re
ported in the books of the municipality
Any surplus is deposited in the city
treasury as reserve to draw from
when prices of provisions are high
There are also other instances through
out France of similar institutions with
out municipal aid. several establish
ments being in operation ut Paris
Lyons and Bordeaux
Somewhat akin to such institution
are municipal bakeries, which are 10 b.
found at Rome and at Koyno. in Rus

TRUSTS DON'T ENTER HERE.
a Nook In the Cigar Trade That Bids
Defiance to Monopoly.


While trusts are multiplying and the
Capitalization of capital in all business
is accepted as one Of the inevitable con-
ditions of the day there is at least one
business in New York in which small
capitalists can engage. That is manu-:
featuring cigars With capital of $40
any cigar maker can start in business
as a manufacturer, and while he may
not become rich can make living.
There are at least 1000 cigar manu-
facturers in New York who work as
iourneymen when there is demand
for their services and by the expendi-
ture of few dollars become manufac-
turers when work is slack All that one
of these small manufacturers needs in
order to start in business are few
pounds of wrapper" leaf, the same of
''fllers, pound or so of "binders'
and skill He will have to get bonds
men, as each cigar manufacturer must
have two sureties in 81, 900 each before
he can get license, but there is usual
ly no difficulty in securing the bonds
men.
"The security looks large for such
small manufacturers as sometimes en-
gage in the trade, said an authority,
''but it is easy to get. The grocer and
landlord will usually furnish the bonds,
but occasionally they are furnished by
a security company. In these little
shops the proprietor very often does
not make as much as a journeyman,
but he must do something or starve,
and it is second nature with the cigar
maker alternately to turn journeyman
and manufacturer. The grocers are
willing, as a rule, to take cigars for
groceries rather than give credit Then
some of the cigars are sold in the man
ufacturer's own store, in many cases the
store and workshop being in the same
ROOM Sometimes the owner is manu-
facturer and workman all by himself
and at other times the members of his
family help.
Occasionally the jonrneyman who
becomes a manufacturer sticks to the
manufacturing and prospers. The first
outward evidence of this is the appear
ance of a wooden Indian outside the
shop door. 1t will then be found that
the store and workshop are separate,
the latter being in the rear, and that the
proprietor employs at least one journey
man. New York Sun

QUEER LEGACY.
1t Was Left by IN Englishmnn Who
Died $50 Years Ago.

1t WAS Left by m Englishmnn Who
Died $50 Years Ago.
A curious annual custom was observed
the other day in little village in Sur
rey whereby all boys between the ages
of 10 and 10 are benefited to the extent
of $40 through the will of an eccentric
gentleman who died $50 years ago. To
obtain this reward the boys, who must
be natives Of the village, are required
to attend in the parish churchyard, lay
their hands upon the marble monument
erected to the memory of William Gran
vile, the founder of the custom, and
repeat from memory the Lord's Prayer,
the Apostles Creed and the Ten Com
mandments, read aloud the fifteenth
chapter of ST. Paul's first epistle to the
Corinthians, and write in legible hand
two verses from the same epistle.
This year IS candidates walked sol
emily into the churchyard, where the
whole of the village community had
gathered to watch the proceedings. The
weather was cold and frosty, and the
children were very much frightened as
they laid their hands on the gravestone
and commenced to repeat the Lords
Prayer All managed this fairly we'll,
but the commandments as well as the
creed proved sore stumbling block.
Then the IS frightened little men were
marched into the village school room,
where they struggled maufully through
the chapter of Corinthians and the two
verses to be written.
The examiners conferred for few
minutes and seven little urchins were
handed two golden scvereigns each,
while the remaining II disappointed
ones were hidden to try again in 1900.
Then the children all received good
dinner and were sent home.

Feeding Hens ON Newspapers.

The latest and most novel use for old
newspapers that has come to our notice
occurred Saturday when a gentleman
stepped into this Office and purchased
100 OF more to feed his hens. He tears
the paper into shreds and soaks it in
sour milk until the whole mass becomes
a pulp, when he feeds it to the hens,
and he claims that it adds greatly to
their egg producing qualities. The
newspaper is gradually extending its
field of usefulness. From food for
thought it has expanded until within
its sphere is already included food fer
goats and hens.-Lisbon Patriot.

Chinese Civil Service In the Way

All the high places in Chinese official
dom are open to competition, but the
highest prizes are given not to the stu
dent of modern literature or letters, not
to the best mathematician or modern
scholar, not to the best scientist, but to
the most advanced student of Chinese
history. Study of any subject outside
of history is therefore apt to be taken
up in disinterested, half hearted man
ner The Chinese worker is painstak-
ing, if somewhat dull, careful in work
ing out details and painfully exact in
carrying out orders. If the desire for
isolation on the part of the governing
classes were once broken through end a
demand for western civilization and
intercourse were aroused, an awakening
among the people would rapidly follow.
