ConcernIna Nicknames.

To the uninitiated reference by
students to their instructors in the
course of casual conversation often
is entirely uninteligible. Almost
every school OF college has a system
of nomenclature more or less COM
plete and adapted with sometimes
fatal accuracy to the personal pc
culiarities of the various faculty
members. It is not true, however,
that these names, even. if they might
be considered impertinent by the Sc
rioIsly inclined, are, as rule, given
out of disrespect or because of dis
like. On the other hand, it fre-
quently happens that the most OUT
landish nicknames are in fact terms
of student endearment and bespeak
far more regard than would the
formal address Of Professor or DR..

There is a creeping moss found in
Jamaica, in Barbados and other is-
lands of the West Indies which is
called the '1ife tree" or more prop
erly the "life plant" It's powers
of vitality are said to be beyond
those of any other plant. It is abso-
lutely indestructible by any means
except immersion in boiling water
or application Of q redhot iron. It
may be cut up and divided in any
manner, and the smallest shreds will
throw out roots, grow and form
buds. The leaves Of this extraor-
dinary plant have been placed in a
closed alright dark box, without
moisture of any sort, and still they
grew. =

An Indian OIL Whisky.

A sturdy plea for prohibition is that
made by Jim Barnett, a full blood
Creek Indian, in letter to one of the
two newspapers in the Indian Terri
tory printed both in English aud in
Indian dialect. Under the oa,tion,
"What an Indian Thinks Abou. Whis.
KY some old truths are sersely and
effectively, if crpdely, stated. Who th.
er or not one agrees with the assump-
ton that whisky is Q fine drink, and
it seems like everybody likes drink"
it is impossible not to be impressed by
the force of the following homely H.
lustration: 81 know whisky is mur.
derer and robber, too, and it takes
all the money from man. When a
man goes TO town and tells his wife he
is going to get such things, and SO his
wife would depend on him aud also
his children, but when he gets back
he would be drunk and his wifc's feel.
ing is hurt and alsc his ohiIdren, be
cause he come home drunk and broke.
This tell US whisky is bad thing"
Barnett's observations are founded on
experience. Il used to drink whisky
myself" he confesses, "about twenty
five years ago, and | quit ever since.
The larger part of his advice is cum
ningly contrived to appeal with great
est force to the pocket: "Well, my
friends, don't touch no drink and
save money, aud you will get rich.
And SO, never seen whisky drink
or fail to get poor and stay poor for
oil his life." This dark Poor Richard
besides stating the prohibitio nists'
case succinctly, offers good material
for those who are working for "dry"
state when Oklahoma and the Indian
Territory get into the Union, whether
as one commonwealth or two. Itis q
pertinent question he propounds when
after confessing his old fault, he
hopefully adds: "Aud if everybody,
too, was like me, wouldn it be good?'

There was milk on his boots, a
suspicion of hayseed in his hair, and
if further proof of agricultural pur-
suits was needed he had shoe box

He seemed to be anxiously in
search of. something or some one,
and kindly faced, yet alert, old
gentleman approached him and in
quired if he could be of any service.

Lots of Fun In Tussies With the Black
Bass of the Sea.

Lots of Fun In Tussies With the Black
Bass of the Sea.
Speaking of game sea fish," said
the angling doctor, reminds me
that you seldom hear much about
the kingfsh. He is more nearly the
prototype of the fresh water black
bass than any native Of the sea, so
far as my experience goes. He has
the same symmetrical body, the same
untiring spirit and affords the an
gler an equal amount of sport.
"No sooner does the hook pene-
trate his tough mouth than there is
action at his end of the line. The
difference in strenuousness of fish is
never more accurately demonstrated
than when kingfish is hooked on
weakfsh grounds. One or two lunges
ard the weakfish is towed to the
landing net, but after five minutes
play the kingfsh still retains the
vigor and muscle which he exhib-
tied when he first took the hook.
''The kingfish is always found on
sandy bottom. Sometimes he re-
sembles the huke in his secretivc
habits. He will lie in the loose sand
at the point of bar in a tideway,
completely submerged in the sand
except his eyes, which arc contin-
ually on the alert for food brought
along by the tide. Sometimes the
kingfish chooses the breakers for a
feeding ground.
"Black bass tackle is eminently
suited to them, but the hook should
be small Sproat bend, and the line
should be linen, as silk rots very
quickly in salt water. The favorite
bait for kingfsh is shedder crab or
shrimp. Indeed, shrimp is q uni
Toreai salt water bait.
'sSome fishermen make the mis-
take of putting a dozen shrimp on
a hook, making the hook look like
pinwhcel. The most successful
salt water fisherman of my acquaint-
ance uses only two shrimp. He
hooks these through the tail.
"0f course. so small a bait as a.
shrimp does not conceal the hook.
The old notion of absolutely con-
cealing the hook has been long done
away with by expert anglers. The
main point is to present your bait
in the most natural form to your
prospective victims. Hooking a
shrimp through the tail gives the
little fellow a chance to assume a
natural appearance in the water,
while hooking him through the body
destroys all his chances for move
ment." ."-Exchange.

He asked if she did not like it. as

HAMBlETONIAN HISTORY.
a Curious Case of Lorg Accepted
Falsity of Pedigree and Name.

a Curious Case OF Long Accepted
Falsity of Pedigree and Name.
Hambletonian was bull-like
horse that was trained by Hiram
Woodruff, but could never develop
speed equal to mile in three min
utes, 3:1S, to be exact, being the
best mile hc ever did. As to his
pedigree, Mambrino, tie grandsire,
was by Messenger, but he was worth
less and also vicious. He could nei-
ther run nor trot. He was bred by
Louis Morris of Westchcstcr county,
n. T.. and sold to Major William
Jones Of Cold Spring Harbor, N. 7.
AS he was worthless and a serious
disappointment, Major Jones vir-
tually gave him away, and he was
! used as a travelling stallion at q
small fee.
John Treadwcll, a Quaker farm
er near Jamaica, \. Y, had two
Conestoga, or Pennsylvania Dutch,
draft mares. Out of one of these
mares, by Mambrino, was born Alb
daiiah. This horse was so bad tenn
pered that he could never be broken
to harness, but was ridden under
the saddle. He mad no speed either
as a runner or trottcr, not being
able to do a mile in four minutes at
any gait He had a mulclikc head
and ears, a badly ewcd neck and a
rat tail. But he was a Messenger,
despite the Conestoga crossing, and
he was sold to Kentuckians for $4,-
500. In less than six month"; the
kentuckians repcnted of their bar
gain and sold him back to New
Workers for $500, Afessrs. Simmons
q Smith. Bulbs Head dealers, buying
him as q speculation. This was in
1S49. No purchaser could the spec
ulators find at any price, and the
stallion was virtually given away to
stop expenses Of keeping him.
About this time Charles Kent
wanted new horse for his butcher
wagon and traded, through Alcxan-
der Campbell of Bulls Head, his
! "oAhouo ihd1C w LIulllullu bCClCy, Il
farmer in Orange county, n. Y, fo.
a steer for butchering. This butch
er's mare had originally been sold
to him by Campbell, who had OBJ
tanned her in a drove of western
horses, paying $40 for her. Her
! pedigree was quite unknown. This
mare is known IN American horse
history as the Charles Kent mare
and is said to be by imported Bell
founder. She was in foal to Abdal-
lah when Seeley got her, and the
colt became the property of Bill
Rysdyk, hired nan on Seeley's
farm. Rysdyk looked around for a
name for his colt, a name which
(; should indicate the Messenger blood
in him. There had been in the early
/ years Of the century a famous son
of Messenger named after Alcxan-
! der Hamilton. This horse finally
became known as Bishops Hamil-
tonian. In his effort to borrow the
name Rysdyk, being weak in his or
F.; biography, called his horse Rysdyk's
| Hambletonian. And SO he lives in
history, false in his pedigree as in
his name.-John Gilmer Speed in
Century.

The kitchen was empty when he
returned.
"Where are the children ?" was
his first alarmed thought, express
ing Itself unconsciously in wo1ds.

little girl.
The July sun was beginning to
glow intensely in the heavens. The
pavements reflected the ardent
shine with tenfold heat, and poor
Peter Carver was nearly melted ere
he espied his hopeful son and heir,
with Pet following.
Neither of them would walk-in
fact, the little wanderers were lar
too weary--so Mr.. Carver mounted
one on each arm and carried them,
limp and unresisting, through the
streetc.
''I'll have a nurse for you, my
young friends, before the world is a
| day Older" he said, grinding his
teeth with impotent wrath as he de-
posted Pet and Tommy on the floor
and went wearily to his household
duties.
'Howare you now, Carry ?"he said
about an hour afterward, throwing
himself into a chair by her bedside
and tanning himself with the news

ing.

''But it is 1s o'clock"
'sI don't care if it's 25 o'clock. A
man can't do forty things at once"
sEWhere are the ciildren?" asked
his wife.
"In bed. They were too much for
me, so undressed 'em and put Fem
to bed to get them out of the way"
s'Poor things!" said Garry.
"Poor me, l should think" said
Carver irately. sI had quite enough
to do without 'em. I've broken the
plates and melted off the nose of the
teapot and lost my diamond ring in
the ash barrel and cut my fingers

"My dear Carry" said Peter peni-
tently, II have been brute. I'll
have cook and nurse and
chambermaid here just as soon as I
can possibly obtain them. You
shall be q drudge no longer"
A few minutes afterward the un-.
skilled cook was scorching his whis-
kers over a gridiron covered with
Kissing mutton chops, which would
alarm him by suddenly blazing up
into his face without the least pre-
monitory symptom, when light
step crossed the kitchen floor and o.

gridiron from his grasp.
