A Name Chameleon.

Some time ago." said Columbia
college student, there was a dispatch
in the newspapers to the effect that a
certain Miss Kate Roughbough OF
somewhere in Virginia, / think, had
shot man for insulting her, and her
commendable gun play did not inter,
est me nearly as much as did the pos
sible way to pronounce a name like
hers. l have given the matter no lit
tie of my valuable time and study
since, and under the various author
lied pronunciations of the English
'ough' l am as much at sea as ever.
What I want settled is. is she Miss
Ruffbuff. or Miss Robo. or Miss Row
bow, or Miss Rooboo. or Miss Ruffbo,
or Miss Robuff, or Miss Robow. or
Miss Rowbo, or Miss Roobuff. or Miss
Ruffboo, or Miss Rowbuff, or Miss
Ruffbow? Any one Of these pronun-
Citations is correct by rule and usage,
and a woman who has name suscep-
tible of such variations should change

along with name like Brown or

Lest We Forget"

We, of all people, are least likely
to crow over Russia because she has
met with reverses in the field. A few
years ago we suffered humiliating re-
verses in South Africa. Fortunately,
in our case our adversaries had not a
large population to draw upon, and
that population did not possess the
wonderful military virtues of the jap
anese. In the end, therefore. we were
able to compel them to lay down
arms. But we do not forget in the
least that we suffered humiliations be-
cause we were unprepared. and be-
cause, in our national vanity, we
thought it unnecessary to make seri-
GUS preparation. Therefore, instead
of Growing over the Russians or con-
sidering that they have suffered pres
tige, we honestly sympathize with
them, provided they show the manly
courage to admit that they have been
defeated, and that they now intend to
devote themselves to the recuperation
of their country.-London Statist.

Matthew Arnold's lament at the ex-
cessive and unreasonable value which
people put upon the mere preservation
of their lives in these days is empha-
sized by the testimony Of the cab
driver in the Nan Patterson case.
Having stated that he did not even
look into the cab when he heard the
fatal shot fired and being asked to ex-
plain this seeming want of curiosity,
he replied: Suppose looked in and
got shot. What then% Why, then
there would have been one less cab
man in New York, and in twenty-four
hours or less his place would have
been supplied. 1t is easier to supply
men than places in this age of the
world, and no one is indispensable.
That cabman must be an egoist.-Bos,

GAVE ENGLAND suEz CANAL.
Frederick Greenwood's Great Work at
Time Of Crisis.

Frederick Greenwood's Great Work at
Time Of Crisis.
At the dinner given in London to
Frederick Greenwood, long the editor
OF the Pail Mall Gazette and st. James
Gazette. tributes were paid to his
worth and services by men like John
Morley, who presided, Mr.. Asquith and
Sir Henry Campbell -Bannerman.
When the fate Of the Suez Canal
hung in doubt in 1875 it was Green
wood who, learning that the spend
thrift Ismail Pasha wished to sell his
shares secretly, urged the foreign sec
retury, Lord Derby, to buy them for
the government and secure Britain
control. Derby demurred. There were
British statesmen who held that the
canal would prove colossal failure.
Besides, there was no money available
and to ask for a grant from Parlia-
ment would reveal the whole plan.
Greenwood convinced the hesitating
secretary that the emergency justified
taking the national consent for grant
ed, and with the approval of the prem
ier, the far-seeing Disraeli, the pur-
chase was made. Then Lord Derby,
as was humorously told at the dinner,
supposed there was nothing he could
do" for Mr.. Greenwood. No, there
was nothing. At least. said Derby, he
might let Greenwood's paper tell the
news exclusively. No; better let all
the papers have it at once, the jour
nalist replied.
The shares cost England $20,000,000
and are now worth $150,O00.0O0. Far
more important, their purchase gave
the kingdom the control of the water
highway between Europe and Asia
snd that preponderant interest in
Egyp that led to its occupation, to
the p, Electorate, to the defeat Of the
Mahdists-and, through the recent ar
rangement with France. to the giving
Of Great Britain a free hand" in
what is perhaps the most successful
and most defensible exploit of coloni-
zation in modern times.-New York
