OBJECTED TO LONG NAMES.
English Clergyman Had His Own Way
at Christenings.

An English clergyman. DR.. Freder.
ick Lee. had prejudice against a
long string Of Christian names, and
held that if such names were pro-
posed the clergyman should alter
them at baptism, whether the parents
were willing or not. 1t was said of
him that he christened all the boys
Frederick after himself and all the
girls Mary after the Virgin. The au.
thor of The Life of Walter Pater"
gives Or. Lees method of christening
as follows:
Name this child" he would say in
his authoritative voice.
Archibald Cholmondeley Constan.
tine Ferdinand perhaps the mother
would whisper.
Frederick" she would hear. to her
amaZement. and then would follow the
formula of baptism.
In the ycstry, of course, there would
be objection.
This child" DR.. Lee would reply,
will have TO get his living in the
world, and what do you want to handi-
cap him with Archibald Campbell
Cholmondeley and all the rest of them
for? Anyhow, it's done, and can't be
altered"

Fighting for Mud.

Mud seems to be the latest CON-
modify which has been cornered. The
monopolist is the well-known Bohem.
ian watering place Franzenbad, whose
wonderful healing mud baths are ia
nous throughout the world. The news
OF FranZenbad's business enterprise
has just become known in the course
OF lawsuit at Eyer between the Sax
on government and the municipality
of Franzenbad.
SaXony has a watering place also
with mud baths, Bad Elster. Some
time ago Bad Elster entered into ne
gotiations to buy a large area of
ground containing mineral mud depos.
ties near Franzenbad.
When the Bohemian town heard
what was going on they promptly de-
cided to head off their Saxon rivals
and stepped in and bought up the land
themselves. The Saxons were great
ly aggrieved and carried the matter
into the Bohemian courts, which de-
cided against them.
During the trial it was stated that
although Franzenbad already pos
sessed an inexhaustible supply of this
precious mud the town had spent more
than million crowns in buying up all
the mud lands in the surrounding
country in order to secure exclusive
possession for all time of this valu-
able healing remedy.

Rather in Bedroom.

A well known citizen of this coun-
". who resides in the Ridge, or North
Side community. relates the following:
Not long since my wife went into
the bedroom and was Mortified to
find a large rattlesnake wriggling
from behind a bicycle that leaned
against the wall. The baby had
crawled into the room a few moments
before and was playing not three feet
from the serpent. My wife attempted
10 strike the snake with a broom, but
ii sought refuge behind the bicycle
wheel, and occasionally thrust it's
ugly head at her in a threatening
manner. She called to me, but by this
time the snake had sought refuge
under the bed, and l killed it with
load of shot from my gun. How long
the snake had been in the room or
Just how it had got there nobody
knows. "-Gallatin Cor. Nashville

Serious Young English Woman.

Mrs. Gladstone, wife of the home
secretary of England, was brought IN
in the opposite political camp. for she
was Miss Dorothy Paget, daughter of
Sir Richard Paget, for many years a
conservative member for Somerset
Her marriage to the youngest son of
the great liberal statesman took place
nearly six years ago. Though she has
given no notable entertainments, this
bright, pretty woman often receives
the more serious-one might almost
say learned-members of the liberal
party, and also those who share her
husbands devotion to the royal and
ancient game of golf. She is thor
oughly we'll read, takes an interest in
politics and to a certain extent shares
in Mr. Gladstone's love OF outdoor
life. But it was music that drew them
together in the first place. She is
very musical and he is specially fond
of part singing. And while singing
together they mutually fell in love.

BEANS AS HUMAN FOOD.

as Meat Figures Less.

This country has raised 5.064.S4a

says the Rochester Democrat and

Womsn's Home Work in Enqland.

The select committee of the British
house of commons, in taking testi-
mony recently in regard to the con-
troll and regulation of the conditions
under which home work is carried on,
heard the evidence of the president of
the Women's Trade Union league. She
said that the difficulty in organizing
home workers was due to the fact
that they were too poor to help them
selves. This witness mentioned the
case of a woman known to her who
could earn only rs cents a week by
shirt making. She mentioned the case
of another shirtmaker who received
only 81 cents a dozen for making
shirts. The witness produced blue cot
ton shirts which were made for 1872
cents a dozen. She said that without
charitable subsidies or poor law re-
lief the persons who accepted these
low wages could not exist-Harper's

Hindu "life Stone"

When a Hindu is cremated in west.
ern India one of the mourners picks
up stone near the place of crema-
ton, known as the life stone" which
is supposed to be a refuge for the
ghost, and to which food is offered.
The pyre is prepared, and the corpse
is laid on it, with its head facing the
Hfmalayas. Butter is dropped into the
mouth, eyes, nose and ears, and balls
of flour are placed around. When all
is ready the chief mourner walks
around the pyre in the course of the
sun and sets fire to it. When the
skull bursts the mourner pours water
upon it to cool the ghost. The final act
is the collection of the bone frag-
ments, which is usually done on the
fourth day. The Hindu believes that
when the soul leaves the body 1t as.
sumes the shape of a manikin. expos

Elimination Of County and City
Assessment.

Henry X. Prewitt, who retired
as Insurance Commissioner of
Kentucky on January 1, sent Gov.
Wilson letter dealing with the
question of the taxation of insur-
ance companies in Kentucky.
Commissioner Prewitt recon-
mends the elimination of all local
taxation and the substitution of
one central State tax upon the
companies levied in the same way
as the taxes assessed in other
businesses. in part, he says:
The insurance companies pay
into the State Treasury about
S250,000 each year. They are
doubly taxed, as compared with
banks or other classes of property.
Kentucky is out of debt and l be-
lieve it can afford to take the
stand to regulate this business and
relieve the policyholders of the
State of this additional burden of
taxation.
SUBJECTED TO INCOME TAX.
Insurance, unlike any other
interest or business, is subjected
to an income tax in substantially
every State in the Union.
This income tax is imposed at
fixed rate, varying from l per
cent. in New Fork to 3 per cent. in
Indiana, less losses paid, the pre-
vailing rate being 2 per cent.
TAX is DISCRIMINATORY.
From what has been said it is
obvious that this form of taxation
imposed solely upon single
branch of business is discrimina-
tory in its character and effect. /
do not believe it is wise public
policy to discriminate against this
class of business.
Public opinion has justly con-
demned waste and extravaganza
In life insurance management, as
an unjustifiable dissipation of
funds dedicated to sacred use.'
