A minister was baptizinE . boy of six years, says the London Telegraph. The names given were Benjamin Jo- seph After the ceremony he said to the boy: You have two very good names and you ought to be good boy; how did you come by them?'
 Please, sir" said the boy, i've was twins, and the other died" Another spondeut says; At Ramsbury manor there once resided poultsrer's family of the name of Duck The third son was to be christened and the mother wanted the name to be Will liam Just before starting to church the nurse ran upstairs to the father, who was laid up with the gout, to tell him they were off What be they g6- ing to call un, nurse?' 'Missus says it's to be William, was the reply. William be blowed,' said the invalid, call un plain Bill In accordance with these laconic instructions the nurse gave the name to the clergy man, and the infant was christered
 accordingly" Ono Titchiner, of Peck ham, was named under the following circumstances On arriving at the church h.s name was not settled upon, and when the clergyman said: Name this child one of the friends said John, and another said: "Oh, mo-" meaning not John; and as no one else spoke the clergyman thought that was his name and baptized him Ono

POROUS BURNING BRICK.

 Fuel.

N. Anatole Brebant's invention of burning brick is singular and eco nomical. It is composed of a mix ture of metals. silicates and various other incombustible and refractory matters, which. in small space and with little weight. imprison large amount of heat-producing matter, says the Philadelphia Record. The brick is very porous and is used as follows: An appropriate liquid alco- hol or kerosene is poured upon it. a lighted match is applied, and the re- suit is beautiful hot fire. It lasts for long time and can be sxtin- guished readily.
 After short while the intense heat produced by the combustion of the liquid is considerably augmented by that of the metallic mass. The brick is made in two sizes. The do mestic brick. for heating rooms and cooking, weighs four ounces and gives a flame 20 by 10 inchsA
 The military brick, for soldiers and explorers, is about double the weight of the domestic one. The brick is de. liVered in tin box. in which 1t can be thoroughly soaked in alcohol, or kerosene. and is then ready for use.

A FINE PROPERTY
The San Francisco Mlnlnq and
 Milling Company.
Own and Are Developing a Splendid Mine, Rich ln Silyer...WiIi
 Ship Ore.

John Naegle, manager of the San Francisco Mining and Milling company of Sonora, is visiting this town on mat ters concerning his mine, and Is inter- viewing his stockholders.
 The manager is making arrange. ments to shipore in two or three weeks, an. importantit item and fact that is a sterling proof ofthe rapidity with which the developmeht.o the mine has been conducted and the success of that de. velopment.
 Drifting is now being conducted un. der the old works and is approaching within comparatively few feet of the main ledge.
 A force of ten men are employed at the mine.
 Shipments. of. the ore will be made for while, after which mill will be erected for the treatment of the ores.
 The mine is most conveniently situ- atsd for shipment. It'is % miles from the railway only, and the road Is an ex- cellent one for hauling by team.
 Numerous assays have been made of samples fairly taken from the property, and value of 627 ounces in silver has been shown.
 From the dump of the ancient mine silver ore of extreme richness has been procured, and piece of the ore is now at the BiSbse bank.
 A number of local people are in- terested in this tne property and the management is in excellent hands. There are few properties where the prospects are brighter than the mine that is owned by this company, and few where more systematic and successful work Is being pursued under more suspicious circumstances

ON THE RAIL

The Lackawanna railroad has just
issued, under the title of Ghost of the
Glacier and Other Tales, decided in
novation in the way of railroad litera-
ture. This book. which is attractive
ly printed and illustrated, is practic-
ally book of short stories, having no
advertising in connection with them
except such as naturally accrues from
the fact that the stories are located
along that line. The Lackawanna
railroad, being the second oldest in
the United States, passes through a
territory, every mile of which has as
ISOLATED with DIT some Indian legend or
romance, some recollection of the In
dian wars. or some historical event
of the war Of the revolution. 1t is an
easy matter, therefore, for the short
story writer to find mine of material
along this line, and this little volume
is capital evidence that he has done
so.

THE STORY OF A CRIME.

Here, related in the hard, I'M
sympathetic language of commerce, is
the tragic story of a crime against
nature and the commonwealth:
"At Milford, Del, contracts we're
closed for the bodies of 5000 birds to
be killed for New York milliners at
from ten to fifty cents apiece. The
contracts call for meadow larks, blue
birds, redwing blackbirds, crow black
birds, English sparrows and baby
owls"
This recital means that a cruel
robbery is about to be committed in
Delaware robbery which is made
boubly wicked by the fact that it is
perfectly legal The bird-life of that
state is to be sacrificed to the whims of
fashion. The farmers are to be de-
prived Of 5000 of their most efficient
crop-protectors and tho landscape de-
spoiled of charm that nothing can
replace. The birds called for by this
contract are nearly all of INSECTICIDES
troying species. They exercise a
function in the economy of nature
which is almost indispensable to
successful agriculture, and aside from
their practical value, they constitute
part of the common property of the
people which no person has the right
to destroy for selfish. purposes. The
lark that feeds in Farmer Browns
meadow and nests in Farmer Smiths
grove belongs alike to Brown and
Smith, but in no greater degree than to
the veriest tramp who walks the public
| highway. The owl that roosts In
Gray's forest and fattens on the mice
in Johnson's grain-fields is the
property of the community. So are
all the birds of the air. They belong
to the people, and whosoever destroy:
them commits crime against the
commonwealth. The responsibility fol-
this monstrous destruction of bird life
be killed unless they could be Sold"
is easy to place. The birds would no

A GOOD PARROT STORY.

Or" next door neighber, writes a
CORES. >ondent, owns an amusing
parrot which is always getting into
mischief, but usually gets out again
without much trouble to herself.
When she has done anything for which
she knows she ought to be punished,
she holds her head to one side, and,
cycling her mistress, says in a sing
song tone: Polly is good girl" until
she sees her mistress smile; then she
flaps her wings and cries out:
"Hurrah! Polly is good girl" She
has been allowed to go free in the
garden, where she promenades back
and forth on the walks, summing her
self, and warning off all intruders.
One morning hen strayed out of the
chicken yard and was quietly picking
up her breakfast, when Poll marched
up to her, and called out "Shooi" in
her shrill voice. The poor hen re-
treated to her own quarters, running
as fast as she could, followed by Poll.
who screamed "Shoo!" at every step.
A few days later, Poll extended her
morning walk into the chicken yard
Here, with her usual curiosity, she
went peering into every corner till she
came to the old hen on her nest. The
hen made dive for Polls yellow head.
but missed it. Poll, thinking dis
erection the better part of valor, turned
to run, the hen with wings wide
spread, following close after.
AS she ran, Poll screamed in her
shrillest tones, 20 Lord o Lord"
A member of the family, who had
witnessed the performance, thought it
time to interfere in Polls behalf, as
the angry hen was gaining on her.
He ran out, and STOPPING down held
out his hand Poll lost no time in
travelling up to his shoulder. Then
from her high underground, she
turned, and, looking down on her foe.
screamed: Hello there, Shoot"
The frightened hen returned to her
nest as rapidly as she had come.-The

From the injured and exasperated ac-
tress, whose personal effects have been
reduced to wreckage by the handling of
railroad baggagemen, comes an appeal
TO congress to enact laws for the
punishment of baggage-smashing, says
the Chicago Chronicle The appeal
will probably be unheeded, but it
should furnish food for reflection to
railroad managers. Why should the
luggage of travellers patronizing the
railroads be handled so recklessly as
to render people timorous of intrusting
their belongings to the care of baggage
men? Is not the custom calculated to
discourage travel? Is it not a custom
which could be changed by simple
order from headquarters? Certainly
there Is no reason why trunks, valises
and other impedimenta cannot be
handled with reasonable care by the
railroad companies. The express COM
panies transport similar articles sat-
isfactorily. A trunk sent by express
will reach its destination in as good
condition as it started. A trunk in
trusted to the tender care and mercies
of the railroad baggageman is not I'M
likely to arrive with its lid torn from
the hinges, its side crushed in or with
other damage due to sheer wanton-
ness. There is no excuse for such
condition of affairs in these days of
advanced railroad methods. Every
care is taken of the traveller himself.
He rides in luxuriously appointed cars;
ne sleeps as comfortably on the train
as IN his own bed; he dimes en- route
on restaurant cars which offer the
menu of a first class hotel. Yet his
trunk, in which he is naturally inter-
ested, Is intrusted to baggage smash
ers, who jump ON it, wrench at it, hurl
1t from car to platform and back
again and otherwise conduct them
selves as If they were personally in
censed against 1t. The traveller is
treated with every possible considera-
ton. His belongings with none at all.
Would 1t not be profitable for some
great railroad system to try the exper-
iment Of handling baggage with ordi-
nary care--making a speciality of the
proceeding and properly advertising
1t? II there is anything in human ma
ture that line would enjoy a boom.
For, next to his dog, the average man
loves his trunk. He will patronize
the railroad that takes care of 1t.
Ten miles from GAINESVILLE on the
Edward Gardner farm in the town of
Bradford the GAINESVILLE & Southeast
ern railroad will have a station. The
company has purchased OF Mr.. Gard
ner seven acres of land to be used

other purposes. II is said that an
other station will soon be established |
about two miles from the GAINESVILLE |
limits. Mr.. Gardner stated that he |
had already had offers for lots near
the new station from parties who will |
soon erect a general store, creamery
and blacksmith shop. The new sta
ton has not as yet been named. The |
company gave Mr.. Gardner $50 an /
