PECULIAR NAMES.
The Queer Way Ten Million children
Were DrsiEnated.


"ln a long experience In the treasury

large number of names, many OF which
are rather peculiar" explained an old
official, but | think the list OF names

thing ln the way OF popularity that |
have ever observed. OF these the one
that struck me most was man who
signed himself Ten Million and who re-
sides out IN Oregon. We thought the
name was an imaginative one and
wrote the man that 1t was desired that
Che bonds should be registered in real
Games only and that no further atten-
tion would be paid to his subscription
until he was heard from. He replied
that his name was Ten Million. His
iettcr was written on the printed letter

Then followed an explanation that
his father and mother were unable to
select names for their children that
were mutually satisfactory and that as
a result, though they had had ten chill
dren. none Of them was ever chrlstened
formallv. The first child was girl,
and She was known only as One NIL
lion. The second child, also girl. was
known ~ Two Million. Thus they ran
alou@ until Ten Million was reached,
and he was the writer of the letter. the
other member of the firm being a
brother whose only name, as far rs the
family was concerned. was Seven Nil

one Million had afterward called her

else. The bonds were issued to him

curiosities of the Cacao Tree.

The cultivation of cacao, say3 a writer
In The Scientific American, Is an invit-
ing agricultural pursuit in Trinidad
and parts OF Venezuela. The cacao tree
cannot withstand strong sunshine. and
the young plants have to be shaded by
banana or plantaln trees and later,
when they attain their growth, by tall
trees known as ''immortelles," or the
mother Of the cacao." These make Il
kind of canopy over the entire planta~
ton. The fruit Of the cacao tree Is pod
resembling cucumber and growing on
:he trunk or large branches. where 1t
looks as though it were artiticially at
tached." The seeds are like large, thick
lima beans imbedded In pulp. These
form the cacao beans Of commerce. The
processes Of curing and drying require
much attention.

MODERN MISERS.
Men Who Starve Themselves
to Accumulate Money.

There is o certain fearful fascination
about the .tories of the misers OF the
past. Tise money they accumulated was
of no more practical value to them than
the trinkets stolen and secreted by some
magpie or jackdaw. They hid it from
the sight and use of men and in silence
and secret gloated over the useless
wealth. To gather it they lived on
crusts or offal, grudged clothes to cover
them and fire to warm them, lived
starved lives and in not few cases died
of starvation. That was the old-time
miser. The modern miser resembles
this man Of the past in the particular
that he frequently dies Of starvation.

! His prominence at the Daudet funeral
created considerable comment. AS the
procession wound its way from the Rue
de rUniversite across the whole of Paris
to the distant cemetery. Zola, who with
( uncovered head, marched directly behind
Leon Daundet and Victor Hugos grand
son, received more than one discreet
mark Of sympathy. II was his nrst public
appearance for many months and he had
been selected TO deliver the funeral ora
ton at the bier OF the author Of Lin
morteI'' This was significant In many
literary circles it began to be said that
opposition to him ought to cease. \ day
or two after the funeral 7 heard an
academian say at the breakfast table OF
another academian: IF Zola were TO be

Of Napoleon who made this remark was
then one of the very small band Of
acsdemians who supported lola. Not so
many months afterwards, at the same
breakfast table, this same academian
pitched his idol TO the ground in true Ma
poleon style. because. during the inter
val lola had performed a much more
dangerous and Drawer act than stopping
z runaway team.
lola had a fine opportunity TO display
self-complacency, if it was in him. when
he went back 70 France after the Drey-
fus case. But he did nothing of the kind.
Even those most prone to condemn him
and his course in the affair had to
admit that his conduct was exemplary IN
this particular 1t was even difficult to
get him TO receive in public the splendid
gold medal struck in his honor and paid
for by subscriptions sent in from all parts
OF the world; and when the ceremony
occurred in the contracted editorial rooms
OF the Steele Office. Zola's bearing and
language in his little speech of thanks
were IN the very best OF taste. And the

a day or two source of surprise to the
youngster. He said nothing. but missed no
opportunity to watch how it worked.
one afternoon, some time later, a grocery
cart drew up before the house and 10 the
surprise of the boys mother, began to
unload a large number of bundles The
driver of the cart had scarcely finished,
when the baker came with still more
goods. quickly following him the butcher.
