Too Many Similar Names.

Denmark is more bothered by the
prevalence of a few common names
ending in sen" than English-speaking
nations are with Smiths, Joneses and
Robinsons. In Copenhagen 100000 in.
dividuals, or forty.two percent of the
population have names ending in the
patronymic sen. About fifty thousand
of them are Hansens. This condition
has been pronounced "a national
plague" and pamphlet was issued
recently giving sixteen hundred gen.
uine Danish names not now in use
and available for those who may wish
to give up their Hansen or Petersen.
To facilitate matters further, the for
mer charge of five dollars for chang
ing ones name has been reduced to
one dollar.

In a Glowing Eulogy OF the Church
His |. as Got Jumbled

A young minister. recently ordained,
jumbled his ideas bit the other Sun
day. Fresh from the seminary and
his study of church history, his mind
was well charged with the greatness
of the institution with whose progress
he had become affiliated. His sermon
was, therefore, on The Church." He
told of her achievements, of her
heroes and martyrs, and, warming to
the subject. became eloquent. His
rather remarkable peroration was sad.

WAS HIS WiFE's HATpiN.
And He Had Wasted Time Trying to
Find an Owner


In a theater recently a man down in
one of the front rows spied on the
floor a large hatpin with an amber
top. Looking about him, he saw that
two women and their escorts had just
sat down. To one of the former he
presented the pin. A shake of the
head indicated that he had made q
mistake. Then he tried across the
aisle. The women seemed to be in
terested. The pin was curiosity
and its amber of a unique carving.
They hesitated, but the pin was hand
ed back. Desperately, he began the
search anew. Two ladies unattended
seemed likely owners. To them he
showed the pin. They took 1t and en-
joyed its pattern. Just then the man
felt a tug on his sleeve. 1t was his
wife and she remarked: why are
you showing my hatpin to strangers?"
He, blushing, went over to the femi-
nine pair and explained. It's my
wife's hatpin." he said, but in such
consciously guilty accents that the
women handed it back with doubling
smiles

Neptun- Measured Again.

A German astronomer, Herr Wirtz
of Strasburg, has made between De-
cember, 1902. and March, 1903, fresh
measurements of Neptune, the most
remote member of the solar system.
He computes that the diameter Of the
planet is about 400 miles, about
four times that of the earth, but that
its density is to that of our globe as
1.54 to 5.53. In other words, while
the earth Is five and half times as
heavy as a sphere of water of the
same Dimensions, Neptune is only one
and half times the density of water
The lightest Of the planets is Saturn

PHOSPHORUS Not DANGEROUS.

our red phosphorus and potassium
chlorate has been bought by the Ger
man government, and is to be substi.
tuted in its works for the deleterious
and oftentimes more dangerous white
phosphorus. Great gain attaches to
the fact that it does not ignite easily,
hence removing or minimizing the
danger from fire. How important this
is appears when one is reminded of
fires caused by the ignition of white
phosphorus matches by the suns rays.
In regard to danger TO employees, the
commission sfys explosions are practi
cally impossible with the new ma
terial.

bachelors, one of whom devotes his

Later in the day he found on his

A MANLEss ISLAND COLONY.
Greek Women Who Live an Entirely
independent life

On small island in the Greek
archipelago there is colony which
is composed entirely of women. 1t is
a sort of religious order which con-
siders it a d'qgrace for one of its
members to even look at man. So
when fisherman approaches the
island the women pull the gray cowls
of their cassocks over their heads
and turn their backs. Provisions are
never imported. as the women raise
their own products, being strict vege-
tarians. Only the matron. who is an.
nually elected head of the colony. is
ever allowed to leave the island. The
others remain on the island all their
lives, taking their turn at tilling the
soil, washing, housekeeping and fish.

Cremation Growing in Favor.

When Sir Henry Thompson, In the
year 1874, introduced in England The
suggestion of disposing of the dead by
means of cremation, his idea was re-
garded with antipathy and met with a
shudder. But the matter was kept be-
fore the public, and on Oct. II the
foundation stone was laid at Ilford
Cemetery for the first crematorium in
the vast metropolis Of London. Hull,
Manchester, Liverpool and Working
