THE PARENTAL NICKNAME.
Vicsss:tudss of Papa AMI Nam MAJ
and ssGovernor" In IInrIand

Vscsss.tudss OF Papa AMI Nam ma"
and sNGovernor' In England.
In our own country papa" and
mamma" have been in familiar usa
for some three hundred years at least,
says the LONDON Globe. They prob
ably reached us from Italy, where their
use was of much older date DAME
uses mamma in the Purgatorio."
Words of this kind are often in COM
mon and familiar use long before they
find their way into the written Ian
guage of books, so that it would not
be easy ito say when papa" and
mamma" were first heard among us,
but one of the earliest literary traces
of their use is to he found in Ly1y's
"Euphues" G579), an Italian story
crammed with curious verbal absurd
tiles, for the most part copied or imi-
tated from the Italian fashions and
affectations of the day. From that
time instances of the use of one or the
other of the words, or of both, are
fairly common in literature.
Another familiar and childish va
RANT is dad or daddy Dad" or
tad as the earlier form u.s. is pure
Welsh word, and is of great antiquity.
The Lords Prayer begins in wv elsh
with the words Elm TAD or Elm
Dad,' the first word of the phrase
meaning Our" Dad" with It's deri-
vatives daddy" and dada" has long
been familiar in the mouths Of Eng
lish children. Like ''spapa," it was
doubtless in use many years before lit
erature took note. Of it; still, it is
found more than two centuries ago in
burlesque poem attacking James II.
The doggerel contains both dad and
dada" Children of a larger growth
have other equivalents for father and
mother. Boys who think that they are
TOO big to use the tender sounding
names which We're familiarsto their in
fancy talk of, the "pater'' and the
mater" Governor" is another col
loquial variant which has little to rec
ommend it. A few shades worse than
governor is relieving ofhcer''-a
phrase affected by sons who look upon
their fathers chiefly as the source of
financial supply. There are other SINH
lar epithets in use, but they are neither
attractive nor sdignified. When daddy
and nanny, or papa or mamma are
put aside as too childish, or are dis
carded for any other reason, there are
no parental names which can for a
moment compare with the simple, but
dlgnified, plain, but beautiful, Anglo
Saxon words father and mother.

Why Massachusetts Ia Rich.

The report of the state tax commits
sioner Of Massachusetts shows why
the people Of that state are rich, SAYS
the New York Times. The total valua-
ton of the capital stock of corpora
tons in that state is s641, 1854, 125, with
nearly s1O0,O00,000 not counted be-
cause OF litigation. The value of the
land and machinery of these corpora
lions is $s4s,so6, 129. The aggregate Of
the taxes assessed on this property is
$5,156, $50. Massachusetts, is poor
state naturally. Her people encouraged
and developed manufactures with the
result stated. II the farms are aban-
doned, the mills are filed There is a

RESTORED TO LIFE.

Experiment In MassagIng Heart That
Had Ceased Pulsating.
Dr.. Mag OF Nasted, Denmark, re-
Gently made an experiment in reviHi-
tying a man apparently dead, which
has convinced him that it is possible,
IN favorable circumstances to restore
the dead to life by massaging the
heart. says the St. Louis Star. The
doctor was attending a charity patient,
J laborer, who apparently died under
an operation from the effects of.chloro-
form. Artificial respiration and other
methods Of the usual revive treat
ments were tried, but all to no avail.
The other attending surgeons gave up
the case. and said when they did so
that the man had been dead fifteen
minutes. DR.. Mag, however, declar-
ed that he would save the man. He
cut open the dead mans side and be-
gan to manipulate the heart. He timed
the q. squeezing of the organ by the beat
ing OF his own pulse so as to get a
natural rhythmic action, and soon be-
gan to feel the heart respond To- the,
treatment. The other doctors began
working at the artificial respiration
again, and in thirty five minutes the
dead man was breathing again and
his heart was beating. His side was
sewn up and he put to bed, where he
ceased to breathe, and all attempts at
artificial respiration were powerless to
start the lungs working once more.
The heart, however, kept on beating
for eight hours, when it stopped, and
the man was finally allowed to be
dead, even by DIR. Mag. En- all this re:
vtYing process the patient did not re-
gain consciousness, but the doctor be-
liexes that he nevertheless began to
live again after the heart had been
started working by massage. Some
people will say that the action of the
heart was simply case of muscular
reflex, responding to irritation and
not real life. DR.. Mag, however, be-
neves, that the reason the man died a
second time was that his treatment
was largely impromptu, and that the
proper conditions and instruments for
a thorough and scientific test were not
at hand =

BUSY BEST PEOPLE,"
They Assist Whitecaps, Lynchers, Raid.
and Other IawhreaLars

They Assist Whitecaps, Lynchers, Raid
ers and Other Lawbreakers.
Anyone who thinks "our best peo-
taken, says the Chicago Journal. They
are always up and doing The man
who reads the newspapers will readily
und erstand that. And they are usual
ly doing those things that they ought
not to be doing. Indeed, according
to all accounts, "our best people"
busy themselves principally with other
peoples business. Surely everyone
must have noticed that the recent
raids in Kansas were conducted by
some of our best people," They were
the ones who rallied to Mrs. Nations
support; they were the ones who, in
spired by her example, WELD axes and
hatchets in localities that she over
looked. But Kansas is not the only
state where "our best people" have
been busy; not by a good deal. They
had hand in the last lynching re-
ported, for the truthful correspondent
asserted that some Of our best peo-
pie were foremost in the crowd"
That's always the way. No one ever
heard of man being tarred and
feathered, or of a drug store being
wrecked, or of a whitecap outrage be-
ing perpetrated, or of the prerogatives
of the law being usurped in any way,
that "some of our best people" were
not involved in it. They seem to be
most perniciously busy all the time,
and the ordinary, prosaic,, matter-of-
fact, law-abiding citizen has reason to
be thankful that he does not get mixed
UP with them According to present
indications the term will soon be one
of reproach, and to shoot a man for
calling you zone of our best people,
will be justifiable homicide.

Their Present Condition Contras,ed Wit

Their Present Condition Contrasted with
That Of a Century Ago.
. The agricultural laborers of today
are certainly better clad. more luxu-
riously fed, have far more leisure, are
better educated, and are rapidly be-
coming better housed than their fore
fathers a century ago. And if these are
the main constituents of happiness,
then they are happier, comments cor
respondent in Nineteenth Century. On
the other hand, their grandfathers and
great-grandfather were much more
gay and light-hearted than the mod
ern; they enjoyed !. their lives much
more than their descendants do; they
had incomp arably more laughter, more
amusement, more real delight in the
labor Of their hands; there was more
love among them and less hate. The
agricultural laborer had a bad drunk
en- time between 20 or 80 years ago,
and he has been growing out of that.
"A village sot is now a very rare bird,
as rare as he was 100 years ago. Then
the laborer could not afford a drunken
debauch-he had not the wherewithal.
His master, the farmer, did drink, and
sometimes deeply in the days when he
was prospecting. And for few years
after the rise of the laborer's wages,
some rs years ago, the laborer was the
publican's friend. But hard drinking
mas been steadily declining, and the
habitual drunkard is looked upon as a
coarse brute to be avoided. AS to other
vices, things are pretty much as they
We're; am afraid rather worse. than
better. Perhaps the saddest charac-
teristic Of the men of the present, as
compared with the men of the past,
is that the men of the past were GER
tainly more self-depende do not
mean independent, in the sense in
which that word is used now-mora re-
sourceful, more kindly, courteous, and
contented with their lot than their de-
scendants are.

HINTS FOR PLAIN GIRL.

r ~ zs,4- -
A girl whom nature has not endowed
with her precious gift of beauty should
never think that there is no compensa-
ton in her lot. She should not become
soured and visit her misfortune upon
others, who are not to blame for it.
She should bear in mind that. the
women who have ruled the worlds des-
tiny have for the most part been quite
devoid of beauty.
She should think how f1eeting beauty
is, and that she will never suffer the
pangs endured by a beautiful woman
who sees her charms fading. tzs4.ss
She should remember, too, that the
plainest woman may be made better
looking by dress, style Of carriage and
by pleasing expression.
She should remember that when a
man makes love to her it is for her
real self, not for the mere outward at
traction of beauty, which may vanish
any moment by an accident.
She should never forget that bad
temper added to plain face is mis-
cry, but good temper, sweetness, and
unse1fish manners can make plain
woman even more charming than a
pretty one.-Woman's Life.

Play in the National Golf TOurna-
ment at BaItusrOI Club,

New York, Oct. "a large gallery
greeted the contestants in the women's
national golf tournament on the links of
the Baltusrol Golf Club this morning. The
match which carried the largest gallery
was that Of Miss Margaret Curtis and
Miss Pauline Mackay. Miss Curtis drove
the finest ball of the morning from the
opening tee, carrying nearly to - the
bunker, 200 yards away. Another gall
lery went out after Mrs. e. A. Manice
and Miss Louisa Wells. Mrs. Manice also
drove a beautiful ball. Either Mrs
Manice or Miss Margaret Curtis it is ex-
pected will represent Boston in the finals.
Miss Hecker was the last to play out, and
attracted large gallery, as she is ex-
pected to represent the Metropolitan dis
tr1ct. When all the pairs on the cham
pionship had started, the sixteen who
qualified for the consolation cup, offered
by the United States Golf association,
went out in order. Matches include many
excellent players who just failed in get

Two Minneapolis High School Teams
Preparing for Friday.

The North high school boys are work.
Ing hard this week for their game with
East high Friday Though a rather easy
victory was won from saltwater last
Saturday, several Of the boys show
evidences Of the game the backs es-
pecially being pretty badly used up. Still
water put up ragged but rather rough
game, and frequently piled up after
the ball had been declared down. The
North high boys are not counting on a
walk-away with the East high, as the
latter have ben having some stiff practice
games with the "U" freshmen team and
are reported to be swift and fierce There
will probably be some changes in the line
up owing to the fact that some of the
players may not be in shape by that time
and others may be changed to strengthen
the team. Burgen and Fontain are put

WILL WINTER HERE
Shamrock to Race on Long Island
Sound Next Season.

New York, Oct 9.-It Is settled that
Shamrock II. is to stay in American
waters this winter and next summer she
will probably be seen in races on Long
Island sound and elsewhere. Sir Thomas
Upton said yesterday that the yacht
would be laid up at Erie basin and not at
New London, as originally intended. The
tall steel mast will be taken out and all
her other spars taken on shore and stored
tor the winter BY reason of the great
height of the mast, the yacht will either
have to sail around Long island in the
spring to get to the sound, or fit out at
City island, for the spar is far too long
to go under the Brooklyn bridge at any
stage Of the tide. A member Of the New
York Yacht club, who is prominent in rae
ing, said last night:
If the Shamrock should meet the Co
lumbia and Constitution in that smooth
water on the sound next summer, 1 feel
sure she would win number of races
and that would give yachting in this coun-
try big BOOM"
Sir Thomas suffered considerably with
