POPULAR CHRISTIAN NAMES.

ahristen their infants with high :
falltin' names. Religious par
ents search the Scriptures before
the baptismal ceremony. Par
ents in search of a fortune will
label their luckless babes with the
surname Of the expected testator.
But, nevertheless, the list OF
common English christian names
is very small one, says the New
York Press. Out of every hun
dred fathers and mothers OF male
children some eighty-four limit
their choice to fifteen familiar
names.
Tid-Bits has discovered that
the favcrite name is William. In
all ranks of society-in the peer
age as in the work house-Wil-
liam is the commonest of male
Christian names,
Stop the first thousand men you
meet in the street. No fewer
than ITO are Williams. A long
way behind comes the Johns,
closely followed by the Georges.
Of every thousand men ninety
four are called John and ninety
two George.
The next commonest name is
Thomas, which has seventy four
owners, while James claims sew
enty-two, Henry and Harry be-
tween them are seventy in num-
Der. Of these about four have
received the name of Harry at
the baptizmal font. Following
them come Frederic with fifty
seven, Charles with forty eight,
Alfred with forty-five and Albert
some way behind thirty-one.
The good old Saxon appelation
Of Edward is given to five and
twenty out of every thousand
citizens, Arthur and Robert each
having twenty-th three, whil6 of the
remainder of those thousand men
you have accosted in the street
seventeen are called Josers and
fifteen Herbert. So we have &C.
counted for no fewer than 856 out
of every thousand men, and they
divide between them cnly fifteen
out of the many hundreds, nay
thousands, of names from which
their parents are at liberty to
choose.
Of the remaining 144 of our
representative thousand, a few,
such as Richard, Percy or Ernest,
are claimed severally by two or
three men, but all the rest are
sole and exclusive property of

wilLiAM j BRYAN,

Here is one view of M'!r. Bryan
by Hon. William n, Wallace, the
gifted orator and lawyer Of Kan
sas City, Mo-, VINO is candidate
for a seat in the United States
senate to succeed Senator Vest:
II haye always greatly ad'
mired William j. Bryan for many
bf his noble traits of character,
and have never at any time ut
tered a harsh word about him.
As look at Bryan today facing
his foes like a wounded lion, |
cannot help but sympathize with
him. When the true American
remembers what a great Com
inoner he has shown himself to
be, ne cannot refrain from liking
him intensely. But, for one,
sympathize with and admire him
as | will, l cannot rid myself Of
the fixed conviction that some Of
the issues for which he still bat
Ties with such wonderful courage
and tenacity, and which would
vitally affect the public welfare,
are either dead or imPracticable.
II is doubtless his persistence in
lighting when defeat is certain
that has caused such gifted and
experienced men as Vest to de-
olare that he is not a great lead
er. With Senator Vest, would
be glad to see him in the United
States senate. His advocacy of
buried issues could do no harm
in this stalwart body, and his
rare genius, already properly d.
rected in the general cause of
freedom, would be of vast benefit
to his countrymen, He was a
brilliant and useful Congress-
man. | am not in favor Of again
nominating him for the presi-
dency; but if he is, the issues are
sure to be such that | can con-
scientiously give him active sup
port, and will follow his flag to
the field. God has a mission for
Bryan, and | believe he will find
it. Within the proper sphere his
great abilities can be of immense
service to humanity, and there
are positions Of great honor in
which his oountrymen can safely
trust him. | am not in favor of
burying Bryan, as some insist,
As heaven is my witness, am no
Brutus and desire not to stab

Cleaning Oil Paintings.

An art journal suggests raw potatoes
to clean oil paintings. Have few po-
tatoes at hand, each cut in halves. The
fresh surface is dampened slightly with
cold water and used to rub the canvas.
AS the potatoes show soil the surface
is sliced off and the rubbing continued.
This process will create little lather
which should be wiped off as fast as it
accumulates with a clean, damp sponge.
When the whole canvas is cleaned, it
should be washed over lightly with
clean water from which the chill has
been taken and finally the water
carefully wiped off with an old clean
silk handkerchief. Raw potatoes to
clean paintings are frequently in hear
say evidence, but this description of
the process may be of value. 1t is sug-
gested by way of reasonable caution
that the experiment should be tried
first upon a canvas of triling value
and upon one corner of that.

Obituary.

General Thomas A. Granger died at
his home in this village, July 10, 1901,
aged 90 years and six months.
Last winter General Granger fell on
an icy walk, and the injuries received
kept him confined to his house until his
death, although he had been in feeble
health from the ravages of age before
the fall. During his later years, he had
been the recipient of the kindest care
from his relatives.
He was born January II 1908, in Berk-
shire county, Mass, and removed to New
York in 1919, He came to Paw Paw in
1854, and for many years was actively
and prominently identified with the bust
ness life of this place.
Three daughters with their families
and other relatives are left to mourn his
death, although he had far outlived
mans allotted time. The daughters are
Mrs Daniel Spicer of this place, Mrs.
DIR. Dean of st. Louis, Mo-, and Mrs.
Julia G. Murray of Peoria
Mr.. Granger was twice married, his
first wife dying in 1879, the second in
1899.

saIist. In politics, he was whig, then a
