First Names

In 1879 more than half the men were
called John or William, says writer
in Notes and Queries. while more than
three-ouarter We're 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
dred 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 Hatfield'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
Lawrence and Joseph.

Life of Foreign Guard on q Train
Not a Happy One-Mandarin's Ser.
wants Without Tickets Take Pos
session of First-Class Carriage.
Mr.. Cox, who was recently assaulted
near Peking, has had many similar eX.
periences during the dozen years he
has been railroad building in the
Chihli province, and has only extri
Gated himself by dint of tact, pluck and
good humor. He has practically fol
years carried his life in his hand.
Several years ago, for instance, dur
ing floods, mob, led by the soldiery
of Lutai, a military camp near T1en
Tsin, cut the railway embankment and
destroyed seven miles of line, their Off
GERS encouraging them, and the en-
lightened Viceroy Ii Hung Chang, In
his yamen, few miles off, "layin' low
and sayin' muffin" The cause alleged
was that the embankment prevented
the flood water from running of, which
as there were frequent outlets, was ut
ter nonsense. Previous to that at
tempts had been made to wreck trains
and the lives of the foreign employees
were constantly threatened.
The life, too, of the foreign guard on
a train is not always happy one
Mandarins' servants without tickets
take possession of first-class carriage
eat, drink and sleep in 1T. Perhaps
they light a pan of charcoal to warm
themselves, if the weather is cold
Charcoal has certain asphyXiating ef-
fects; the other passengers complain
and the servants have to be elected
Too much violence might lead to gen.
eral attack on foreigners and another
Tien-Tsin massacre, while too little
would not be effective. The unhappy
guard has to follow the happy" mean
between a good hard push and a milo
knock-down blow.
There have, of course, been many
ludicrous, as we'll as dangerous, incl
dents on the North China line. When
1t was first opened Chinese would
come to the booking office and try to
bargain for tickets. When told the
fare, they would offer half. and grad
ually raise their bid much disgusted
that they should not, in business
spirit, be met half way.
One day country gentleman, on his
first ride in train, seeing his house
midway between two stations, hylng
past, deliberately opened the door and

train was going a European would Ger
tainly have been killed, but the supple
celestial, after prolonged series OF
somersaults, was seen to pick hlmsel1
and bundle up, dust his clothes, and
set off home across the fields, mucn
pleased with his short cut and the
convenience of the ''ire-wheel car
riage."
An unfortunate railway coolie, equal
ly ignorant of the laws of mechanics,
did not get off SO well. Seeing two
trucks coming at snails pace down
a siding, he placed his foot on the rail
to stop them. To his astonishment. IL
was cut off, and he learned, like Ste
phenson's COW. that momentum IS
made up of mass as well as velocity.
But. in spite of everything, railways
are bound to prssper in a country
where travelling is otherwise so slow
and so difficult, carts and ponies in the
north and boats in the south never do
ing more than thirty to forty miles be-
tween dawn and dark.

A CHANGS OF HEART.
willing to Amend The Notices
Posted at Their Galleries.

Scranton, Pa. Oct. 2O.-It is a prac-
teal certainty that the miners will
not be back TO work next Monday,
as was expected from the action of the
Philadelphia conference of operators
on Tuesday and Wednesday and the
Scranton conference Thursday. Some
of the biggest of the local companies
are baking at the agreement to con-
tinue the ten per cent. offer in force
until April, 1901, as is demanded by
the resolutions of the miners conven-
ton. They were all willing enough
Thursday to amend their notices to
conform to this demand. but Friday
they seemed to have undergone a
change of heart, and only one opera
tor of any prominence would say out
right that he would make the modifi-
cation.

quiet was the man in his act and so
busy was the woman with her work

There is Nothing New in the
Strike Situation in. the All
thracite Coal Regions.
ANOTHER CONVENTION IS PROBABLE.
Strikers Want 10 Per Cent. Increase
Without Powder Reduction Be-
ing Considered.
Unless the Operators Recede From
Their stand, the Contest VIII
Continue Until They Make
the Concession.

HaZleton, Pa, Oct. 20.-As,far as the
United Mine Workers officials are
concerned matters are at a standstill
in the anthracite miners contest with
1he operators. There was nothing
new in the situation Friday, and Pres
ident Mitchell refuses to talk.
Much disappointment was expressed
in this region Friday because an early
ending of the strike was prevented by
reason of the powder grievance. What
will be done with this question is diff
ficult to forecast, and it is believed
the United Mine Workers officials
have not yet definitely decided what
they will do. Some of the strike lead
ers say the union officials are not au.
thorized by the Scranton convention
to decide the powder grievance, and
that another convention of miners
will be necessary to dispose of the
question.
Miners Want Flat Increase.
A prominent official of the United
Mine Workers said Friday night that
/, the men throughout the anthracite
coal field are insistent on a fat ten
per cent. increase without the powder
reduction being considered in fgur-
ing out the percentage of advance.
When he was asked what the United
Mine Workers would do if the opera
tors refused to recede from their
stand, he said the contest would con-
tinue until the operators made the
concession. When it was suggested to
him that there might be a break in
the ranks of the strikers before the
operators would weaken, he expressed
the utmost confidence in the loyalty
of the men in the entire region.
Notwithstanding the confidence of
the labor leaders in their ability to
hold the men together, there is be-
lief prevalent here that break will
come sooner or later. Strikers seek
ing relief from the United Mine Work.

each succeeding day.

Chicago, Oct. 20,-The highest price
on record for flax seed was reached
Friday. The top quotation was S1,s5
per bushel. This is an increase per
bushel during this month of SO cents.
1t is II cents per bushel above the
quotations current year ago. The
advance is attributed TO scarcity due,
first, to drouth, and later to excessive
rain. The salient feature of the great
rise in price is that apparently it has
come without manipulation of any

Berlin, Oct. 20.-The joint note o.

however, that such a declaration by
