Syrian Name Customs.

In Syria the names of children are
very odd. They suggest those of our
Indians, inasmuch as the child's name
is apt to be something which occurred
at the time of its something
which interested the parents. For in
stance, if you were a child of this
country your name in all probability
would be Stuffed Cabbage" or "Ho-
tel or Civil War;" or something akin
to these, If child falls sick his name
is Immediately changed. Instead of
his parents thinking that piece Of
pie or too much pudding disagreed
with him they attribute his sickness to
the fact that his name did not agree
with him. When one understands
what these names are one does not
wonder that the child may have fallen
sick because of them.-Philadelph

A young woman once sat at a board
ing house table beside a reserved and
awkward country boy whom she de-
lighted to tease When she left she
asked him to write in her autograph
album. The poem which John G.
Whittier wrote there stands as a warn
ing to other young ladies that she who
laughs first at seemingly dumb coun-
tryman may be herself laughed at
many years later. The quaint conclud-
ing stanZa is:
Thy life-may nothing vex it
Thy years be not few,
And at thy final exit
May the devil miss his due.

A Divided Church,

There is very striking instance of
religious liberation in Heidelberg, an
ancient city of Germany. One of the
most important buildings of that town
is the Church of the Holy Ghost
Through the middle of this building
a partition wall has been run, so that
services according to the Roman Cath
Ollie and the Protestant ritual may be
held at the same time In the year
1719 an attempt was made by Charles
estants of their half of the church, but
the townspeople made so strong a re-
sistance that he was obliged to desist
and even to remove the electoral court
from Heidelberg to Mannheim-Lon-

Women In India.

1t will be many years before the
caste prejudices Of India are sufficient
~ broken down to give any sort of
freedom to the Indian woman From
a bride she is numerically overwork-

childhood to the day of her death-it
may be for sixty years-she is seclud-
ed and sees nothing of the world out
SIDE the walls of her family Enclosure
Her happiness or misery, indeed, en-
drely depends on the manner in which
the affairs of the family are conduct
ed. The Indian woman, isolated from
the outer world by custom, is again by
custom isolated as far as practicable
from all the male members of that lit.
tie inner world to which she is con-
lined. Free intercourse, even with her
own husband, is not permitted her
while yet her youthful capabilities for
JoyOusness exist. No wonder. then.
that absence of jollity is characteris-
tic OF the Indians generally, for the
happy laughter of a home is denied

"The natives of the north woods
have more appetiZing ways to cook
fish than any other class of cooks in
the world, [ believe" said a Tomah
man.
1.-THE universal favorite, however,
seems to be the clay method. The fish
is wrapped in We clay without having
so much as scale ruffied by the
cleaning knife. He is not dressed, and
the only seasoning is a pinch of salt
placed in the mouth. When the fish is
done up in the clay the package is
placed in the embers of the campfire
to bake. When it is done the clay is
cracked open, and the scales of the
fish are found to be sticking in the
clay, and the head is then broken off,
The delicate flavor of fish cooked in
this way cannot be described. Some of
the cooks have a habit of cutting a
long cash along each side of the dorsal
fin and inserting slice of fat bacon
This adds greatly to the flavor of the
fish" -Milwaukee Sentinel.

pockets outside the mouth along the

The Roman Bride Cake.

Bride cake is relic of the Roman
Confarreates, a mode of marriage
practiced by the highest class in Rome
In CONFIRMATION the bride was led to
the altar by bachelors, but conducted
home by married men, and the cere-
mony took place in the presence of ten
witnesses by the Pontifex Maximus,
whereupon the contracting parties mu-
tually partoOk of cake made of salt,
water and -four. Only those who were
born in such wedlock were eligible for
the high sacred offices. But the GUS
tom of breaking a cake over the
brides head when she enters her hus-
bands house is borrowed from the
Greeks, who as an emblem of future
plenty poured figs and other fruits
over the heads of both bride and bride
groom.

A Heartfelt Tribute to O. Friend

A friend of former United States
Marshal Isaac o. Barnes having died,
he attended the funeral He arrived
promptly and seated himself in the
crowded room to await the services.
For some reason there was very long
delay, and the solemn silence of the
darkened room was anything but con-
genial to a man of Mr.. Barnes dispo-
sition. The heat also was very oppress-
i've.
Tanning himself vigorously with his
hat and twisting uneasily in his chair,
Barnes remained silent for what to
him was very long time. But at last,
being unable to contain himself longer,
he leaned over toward a solemn look
ing man on his right and remarked in
a hoarse whisper audible all over the
room, II presume you were we'll &C.

louder whisper, getting excited, 'if he
had had the running Of this funeral

Matters Of General Interest to Our
Readers Reported by
Telegraph.
PRINCIPAL EVENTS OF a WEEK
Stare Items of General Interest from
Various Sources for the Benefit
of Our Readers.

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 23.-It is re-
ported that certain persons are pre-
pared to swear out warrants against
two well-knoWn LaFollette men who
are said to have been implicated in
grating by the testimony of former
Alderman Murphy before the grand
jury. 1t is said warrants will not be
issued should the grand jury see fit
to return indictments against these
men.
The warrants will be sworn out by
friends of Charles Pfster, who allege
his Indictment on a charge of having
embezzled $4,000 from the Wisconsin
Rendering company was due to Dis
trict Attorney McGovern's ambition to
discredit the stalwart leader in the
eyes of the voters and with a view to
aiding McGovern in his ambition to
step into the governors chair.
1t is charged that Murphy's dis
closures show that a conspiracy was
formed against Mr.. Pfister, just as
was alleged in PfiSter's suit against
McGovern and the promoters of the
Free Press, LaFollette's Milwaukee
organ, in his recent suit for 100000
for conspiracy and his former suit for
$250,O0O for libel against his hews
paper opponents.
Milwaukee, Sept. 25.-For six hours
Charles F. Pfster, capitalist and poll
tician, recently indicted by the grand
jury on the charge of stealing $4,000
and who later began action for $780,
600, charging conspiracy between Dis
trict Attorney F. G. McGovern and 9th
ers, was given searching eXamina-
ton under the discovery statute before
Court Commissioner w. J. McElroy.
The principal defendant in the case
is Editor Myrick, of The Free Press.
Pfister denied that he ever had
bribed anybody, he explained the gar
bage contract transaction which led to
his Indictment, and sprang a great
surprise Oh the defendants by inform
ing them that Isaac Stephenson, finan-
cial hacker of the LaFOllette move
ment in Wisconsin, owner OF The
Free Press, and multi-millionaire, was
his own warm personal friend.

Three Boys and a Clock.

Three boys in house were told to
go and take the exact time by a clock
in the town. The first lad went, look
ed at the clock, came back and said.
'It is IL O'Clock" In after life he
became a prosaic bookseller.
The second boy was more exact. He
said on returning that it was three
minutes past II. He became doctor.
The third lad looked at the clock,
found out how long it had taken him
to walk back to the house, returned 70
the clock, then added the time of his
walk to the time of the clock and re-
ported the result thus: 1T is at this
moment II hours, 10 minutes and 10
seconds" That boy came to distinction
as Helmholtz, the scientist.

The Word London"

What is the derivation of the word
''London?" The usually accepted one
is the Celtic "Llyn-Din," or lake city,
referring to the historical fact that the
city was built on river that over
flowed at full tide and half surrounded
it. Other philologists have derived it
from ''llawn" fulD and "dyn" man),
others again from "lon'' "a plain) and
dun "a hilD. But the derivation Lun-
Den, or grove city," seems more prob
able than most of these. The name
occurs in wooded parts of Scandinavia
to this day.

Water.

In consideration of the very impor~

and that it is far more essential than
food how little heed is paid to the mat

the average person. One to two quarts
of pure, cool water should be consum-
ed daily by every one. Eight full
glasses of water daily should be taken
throughout the day between meals .
