PROFESSOR. "What is in a name ~

PROFESSOR. "What is in name Z"
What is in titlei The title "pro-
fessor" is applied to the entire list
from the negro bangoist up to the
occupant of the highest chair in the
university. The cross-road teacher
who teaches that the "earth is
round, square or fiat as the patrons
wish" is dubbed professor" He
holds his head higher and thinks
less (of everything but himself) on
account Of the titled honor. The
true professor gets the same title,
and has to endure the humiliation.
Let us call time on this much abused
custom and learn to discriminate
between day aud night. Plain mister
will be more appropriate in 80 per
cent Of the cases where the title
professor is now applied. In this
connection we call attention to an ar
ticle which appeared in the columns
Of "Harper's Weekly" on Booker
I. Washington and Tuskegee. The
writer shows the high regard in
which the talented Booker" is held
by the white people in the vicinity
of his school; and very humorously
discusses the difficulties they find
in determining the proper manner
of addressing him. To call him
mister would carry with it prob.
able recognition Of social equality,
and so it is frequently embarrassing
to determine what address to use
and yet show proper respect for his
character, work and worth. In the
conversation reported, the gentle
man discussing the results Of the
work done at Tuskegee said
"Now, when l meet the man who
has done all this, | cannot call him
Booker, like ! would an ordinary
niger; bnt, thunder! can't call q
nigger Mr., SO l just say Pro-
fessoy. ."

A Pay OF Light

For woman's guidance is found in the
fact that DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton cures female weakness and the dis
eases of the delicate womanly organs
which darken the lives of 80 many wom-
EN- with suffering and sorrow. That ray
of light has penetrated many darkened
chambers where women moaned in mis-
cry, and has guided them out to health
and happiness. "Favorite Prescription
is not tonic, not palliative, but pos
tive cure for the diseases which are
peculiar to women. 1t gives vigor and
vitality. 1t banishes nervousness, head
ache, and all the aches which come from
a diseased condition of the wornanly
organs. A temperance medicine, il CON
tains neither alcohol nor narcotics.

and female weakness and my doctor gave me

not merely industrious, but to love industry

pulpit of the Calvary Baptist Church last evening.
He said that In his vacation he had travelled 10000
miles in various States of the Union and had de-
livered forty-seven lectures sermons or addresses

Going as far South as Georgia and far West
as Kansas and North to the upper peninsula of

FLOATING TOWER OF BABEL
A CABIN BOY ACTS AS INTERPRETER BE-
TWEEN CAPTAIN AND POLY
GLOT CREW.

with q crew speaking a half-dozen OF the Ro-
nance and other less romantic languages, and
the skipper and his mate swearing in rigorous
but incoherent English. the bark Invermark.
from Havre. France. which reached this port
yesterday, earned the name Of a veritable float
ing Tower Of Babel The bark made the voy-
age in thirty-nine days each one Of which was
marked by some incident of confusion almost
amounting 20 catastrophe. At the sight Of the
Statue OF Liberty the captain heaved sigh Of
relief. and the anchor. for there had been times
at sea when he believed he was fateG with a
worse destiny than that of the Ancient Mariner.
The crew consisted OF twenty-three men, and
almost every one Of them spoke a different Ian
g1age or a different dialect. The captain, whose
name could not be learned last night, was a
broad shouldered, beef eating Engishman. His
first mate also Englishman. The rest
OF the crew had been shipped at Havre. The
captain could have obtained an English crew
across the channel: but this would have in
volved too great expense for transportation
Because of the lack Of second mate, this office
was filed by the ships carpenter a raw boned
Swede, who understood half-hundred words
Of French, and one-third much English
The steward japanese. The cabin boy
had been an interpreter on one OF the French
liners, and knew enough English to explain the
more intricate items of a French bill of fare.
There were six apprentices who spoke French
IN a dialect understood only in the province Of
Brittany, and a sailmaker who was French
man from the Spanish frontier.
OF the eleven seamen one was a British sub
1 ject although born in San Domingo; another
was a Spaniard. and third was an italian who
deserted several years ago from an Italian ship
in Havre The others were French. but spoke
different dialects.
With this polyglot crew the captain got INTO
trouble at the very beginning OF the voyage. AT
the command to heave the anchor the jackies
ran TO the pumps. believing the ship TO be on
fire. Finally, through the instrumentallty OF the
cabin boy, who remembered enough OF ms blilS
of fare 10 meet this emergency, the anchor was
hauled up. ..,
The process Of setting sail was attended with
woful confusion. After every thread Of canvas
had been stretched, contrary to the order OF the
Svvede carpenter, who was acting as second
mate the captain ordered the foretopsalls Iurleo
The cabin boy mixed his Interpretation OF
this order with calves liver and frog legs that
the Frenchmen fell on the St. Dominican ana
nearly beat his life out. They understood that
he had insulted the French flag.
In furling the foretopgallant sail two green
apprentices were the lee side Of the mast, to-
gether with a French sailor, whereas on the
other side We're the Italian and the Dominican.
in the struggle to furl the sail the two appren-
tices would have fallen 10 the deck had they
not been caught by the Frenchman. The Ital-
ian became so frightened that he Skinned down
