THE EVOLUTION OF NAMES.

First Distinctive Appellation Were
 Naturally Expressive of Descent.
 The adoption of a second name was originally suggested, of course, by the fact that the number of available first names was altogether out of pjropor- tion with the increase of-the human race. .,s
 The first distinction appellations nat uItllly thought of says the Philadelphia Inquirer, were distinguished by their Children were distinguished by their fathers respective names; one was known as John the son of Thomas, an- other as William the son of Richard, and so on, and soon these clumsy phrases were abbreviated (to refer on- ly to languages with which we are all familiar) to John Thompson, Thomas on, Tomkins or TomsoT, and William Richardson, Richards, Dickson or Dix son. And thus are originated our nu- merous names ending In sson" or pre- fiexed with O." 'Mac,'' '.Ap," etc. ..
 By and by mans peculiarities were called upon in this connection. A cer- tain Henry who was noticeable for his height was aptly, distinguished from other as Henry the long one," or 'the tall man." and it was not long until the shorter forms Henry Long, or Henry Tallman" took the place of the original ones. With this compare MT. Short, MT. Black, MT. Gray, MT. White. MT. Armstrong, MT. Stout. Mir. Wiseman, etc.
 Iii the course of time what more na- tural than that a man should be specified by his trade? And according to all languages we find Smiths, Car penters, Merchants, Shoemakers, Tay- lors, Staters, Wrights, Wheelers, She ares, Shepherds, Marines, Mercers, Hunters, Fowlers, Coopers. Turner's, Fullers, and what not.
 There was a fourth source of distinc- i've appellations, and one too convent ent to be neglected, viz, a mans resi- dence, and when people got tired of speaking of a certain party as Charles at the waterside," or James at the wood,'. or Edward at the hill," they just said Charles Atwarter Qater, Wa ter),s James Atwood Qater, Wood), Ed ward Athill Qater, Hill), and 50 on, with all the Wales, Dales, Pooles, Bushes. Bridges, ,Townsends, Holmes Leas, Longbottonls, Longracres, Streets, etc, etc, that we meet in perstti1al nomenclature.

sfgn which read: Mir. Nigger, don't let the sun go down on you in this town. His Honor's attention had been called to the matter before and he had given instructions that the sign be re- moved, but it seems that they were not carried out.
 'On his way to the depot yesterday with Mir. Speake the judge espied the sign hanging high. Mir. Speake was talking, as he supposed. to the judge, when on looking around he saw the Judicial coat and hat on the ground at the foot of the pole and a coatless form rapidly shining towards the sign. It was torn from it's fastenings and the judge came to earth again, donned his coat and hat and had pro- eeeded on his way to the depot before Mir. Speake could recover from his as- tonishment.

JUST LIKE TRUE SPORTS.

< 4 i a { The Rabbit That Landed in the Grave ! Melted $1O0 for the Deceaseds Farai-
 ly.
 Talking about your graveyard rab- bit superstition and that sort of thing. there is no class of people who believe in it stronger than the gamblers said and old gambler, and I saw it ex- emplified in the strangest way at gItag- burg, Ky, ten years ago.
 Kid Jackson, one of the best kllogyI, gamblers in that part of Kansas died of consumption and all the gamblers set out to give him a good funeral They caught a fine casRet and aEy thsal flowers the room would hold, and
 procession fixed up with plenty mourners, because there was a certailis ty of refreshments below after the gobsequies, even if our friend was not enjoying them above. All the pall- bearers were gamblers and friends of the dead man. We'll. we started out and reached the cemetery all right and the grave digging man was on hand with his pick and shovel. We set the coffin down on the barriers across the grave and were preparing to let the Kids body down into the grave Just then q rabbit jumped out of d thicket close by and landed at tho bottom of the grave He was killed in a second. Just who fired the shot IHnever could tell, but it does. not matter. We all carried guns in those days and were ready to shoot at the dropping of a hat. But anyway, the rabbit was dead.
 The graveyard rabbit, by thlrI- der one of the fellows said, as the rabbit was picked up. Talk about your mascots, here is one for me, and with that he began cutting off the left hind foot. Hold up there, said arl-s other of the pallbearers, let's sell these feet off and make up a pot for the Kids folks, if we find he has any folks, and send it to them It was agreed, and in a minute the funeral services were forgotten and an auc- ton bidding began at $5 for the left hind foot and was promptly raised fo $10 and then to $15 and up to $20. and finally the foot sold for more than $50. The other hind foot was bid for and bought for $25. The other two feet are not considered so much in demand, When the auction was over we found that the proceeds were a little more than$1o0. Then we turned out atten. ton to the body and inferred it as fl should have been

A Jr1DGEr WHO CAN CLIMB,

j. D. Dickerson, a judge of the Unit ed States Court in the Southern Dis trict, recently attracted considerable attention to himself by a pole climbing feat which lacked the dignity usually attached to the exalted demeanor of a Federal judge in Indian Territory. An exchange, recountss the incident thus:
 "The Hon. J. T. Dickerson of the Federal Courts yesterday personally executed disregarded order, which in it's execution called for some lively shining up telegraph pole. This is how it came about the judge in com- pany with Clerk J. W. Speake was down at Lindsay. It seems that the citizens of that quiet little burg have had it in for the darkies, and So ser- eral nights ago there appeared near the top of a tall telegraph pole, about 10 or 15 feet out of reach of anyone who might wish to tear it down, a

OUR RACIAL ARRoGANcF


 We Americans are not free from this fault of racial arrogance. It has been cultivated in us by our relation to two subject races in our own terri. tory, and we are pow finding that the proud curse of it is coming home to roost, We are learning that our detes- table legislation toward our immigrant Chinese is doing ais serious damage; for in China American commerce is being boycotted. By administrative crder, if not by legislation, the present vicious laws of exclusion must be mo- dified, they ought to be repealed, and Chinese should be treated just like Italians. It is our superior arrogance to ward races, that makes the West In- dies afraid of annexation. It is that only that gives us difficulty in the .Rhi- ippines, Although, mosr fortuhatciy.s our Government has rejected the uni Yersal policy oW Western Nations in the East, and it developing self gov- ernment everywhere in the islands. only, as that is. continued and develop ed, until the Philippines shall no long,, CT be colonies but integral States Of our Union, can we expect them to con tinue part of our territory. That is the policy which the independent has consistently maintained no perrna- nsnt colonies anywhere in the world: everywhere ultimate States Of equal rank. Independent.

STRIKE OF 10000.
Miners Are Ceasing Work in German
Coal Fields.

Cologne, Germany, Jan. 10.-Both
the coal miners and mine owners
throughout the Rhenish and West
phalian districts are preparing for a
general strike. So far only 10000 out
of a total of 100000 men concerned
have gone out. The mine proprietors
began rejecting requests yesterday,
and as soon as their replies are re-
ceived the miners, according to their
previous decision do not go to work
when it is time for their next shift
The employers, under the law tXlng
the relations of employer and en-
ploye. are notifying the miners to re-
turn to work or be discharged with
the loss of six days wages. The miners
at seven Dortmund works went out to-
dav. The proprietors affirm that they
are unable to agree to the demands
to include the time of going into and
returning from the shafts in the wage
Deriod nor can they make expensive
alterations in draining the mines, be-
cause the owners claim Germany
would thereby lose her position in the
competitive field both in
coal itself and in manufactures by the
use of coal. Some propr1erors aver
that the economic equilibrium is SO
delicate that the whole industrial fab
ric of Germany can be d1sarranged,
and contend that Germany could not

pete with the Belgian and French pro-
d11cers Only a weeks supply of coal,
it is further asserted, is in store. The
matter is causing tremendous as
cussion in the press, most of the in
duentiaI newspapers of Cologne,
Frankfort, Dusseldorf and Essen set
ting forth the mine owners position,
while the socialist periodicals pro-
claim that a social war is beginning.
Herr Hue, a socialist member of the
reichstag, in a speech at Essen de-
scribed the miners as working naked
- +.-ata,- for the equivalent of 96 cents
a day, cursed by the overseers as lazy,
and fatally affected by worm disease !
because their life is always in dark
ness. . 3, !
asked Herr Hue, whether we starve
or not. under such conditions? Let US
strike with the iron fist, and If we
perish let US at least be men
The auditors of Herr Hue, miners IN |

In a lengthy review of the military
situation the Novoe Vremya urges the
immediate reinforcement of Vladivos-
tok, the island of Sakhalin and Kam-
lchatka. The paper says:
There is little probability of the
russians being caught as unprepared
at iVladivostok as at Port Arthur but
the moral responsibility rests upon the
government to see that nothing in the
way OF defensive preparation is over
looked. Sakhalin and Kamichatka are
both harder to defend and have a
scantier population, but both are rich
IN mineral and other resources and are
especially tempting to the Japanese. to
whose scheme for national expansion
they are necessary"
Continuing the NovOe Vrernya
points out that it is possible to send re-
and Kamichatka while the ice lasts,
independent of sea power, and begs
that this should be done at once
touching on the general peace talk
IN the foreign press, the Novoe
Vremya summarizes the list of Rus
sian reverses in the present war, and
asks if it is possible to consider the
question of peace without substan-
tial Russian victories.
