Gave Names to Diseases.

The naming Of a disease after the
doctor who described and prescribed
for it. as was done with Bright's dis
ease, is no new thing The chapel
near Ulm, which was dedicated to St
vitus, was the object of an annual pill
grimage of people afflicted with the
nervous affection which from this fact
acquired the name Of St Vitus' dance
Except for this accident the name Of
Nitus would probably have passed into
oblivion. for we know little Of him be-
yond the fact that he was a Sicilian
who suffered martyrdom under Dio-
cletisn.

LIberty-prIneIpI. and sentIment.

Liberty-Prlneiple and Sentiment.
No theory Is Of much service in the
matter without character responding
to the theory--withont feeling which
prompts the assertion Of individual
freedom and is indignant against ag-
gressions on that freedom, whether
against self or others. Men care moth
ing about principle, even If they un-
derstand it, unless they have emotions
responding to it. When adequately
strong the appropriate emotion
prompts resistance TO interference
with individual actions. whether by an
individual tyrant or by a tyrant major
ity; but at present, in the absence of
the proper emotion, there exists al
most everywhere the miserable super
stition that the majority has a right to
dictate to the individual about every
thing whatever. BY Herbert Spencer.

Hax on Church Floor.

x curious custom was observed at
Old Nest0n church on Sunday. The
church is dedicated to ST. Swithin,
and on festival day the church is
strewu with hay. Many years ago
some donor left a field to provide
money for bread which is distributed
four times a year. The tenant of the
field has TO supply the hay to strew
the church. The custom is supposed
to have originated from the fact that
on festival Sunday the parishioners
wear new boots, and the idea of the
donor was to have the hay laid down
to stop the squeaking incidental to new
footwear On Sunday the hay was
duly laid down in the church.-LondoR

story concerns a Rembrandt. which

turned to the owner, with the remark
that he could not get a couple Of

imperial museums. happened TO be in
Paris at the time, and when the REM
brandt was shWwn to him he immedi-
ately offered to buy 1t. and the deal
was concluded for $500. The trans

Of an official investigation Of the condi-

contractor who originally constructed the
system, substituted ten and twelve inch

STORM PLAYS A QUEER PRANK.
Twisted All -Four Masts Of Schooner
James 3. Drake.

The four-masted schooner James B..
Drake is at McPhee's shipyard in Bos-
ton undergoing repairs for one Of the
most peculiar accidents In the history
Of navigation.
While cruising in southern waters
the schooner was caught In cyclonic
storm which revolyed around the yes
gel in such a manner that all four Of
her masts we're twisted In their steps
When the ship carpenters investigat-
ed the schooner preparatory to oegin-
ming their work they could scarcely
believe their eyes. Plainly some ro-
tary motion of wind and storm had
caught the poles in leverage, fore
Ing them just half way around. No
explanation is offered for the masts
not coming out of the vessel. All four
are standing and have been carrying
sail all the way to port No other dam
age was received during the storm,
and although the masts were turned
they were not injured in the least.
The accident is the first OF its kind
In the memories Of the oldest navigat-
ors about the harbor They say that
of all the freaky gales reported Of the
tropics this is the strangest. and many
refused to believe the story until they
had visited the yard and viewed the
schooner themselyes.-Bos Tran

Charlemagne, the various stops and

The Peculiarities of Genius

" TLADIBfIR de Pachmann, the Polish pianist
" who has just bade permanent farewell 10
American dollars and enthusiasm, is pecu
iarly afflicted genius. In respect, indeed, the
man may be called unique, for he alone Of all the
great musicians has never yet been known to get
the right heighth stool for any Of his many con-
certs.
Every time he plays, the same farce-comedy
must be gone through with. He will screw the
stool this way and shake his head. He will twist
1t the other way and frown. After that he walks
towards the wings. motoning to someone, who
meets him just before the amused audience loses
sight of him. This attendant brings stool

De Pachmann smiles peacefully. The audience ap
plauds. Then follows the concert.
And the mans antics at the pianol Some subty
rendered passage he emphasizes by smiling and
nodding, often not talking confdentially to
the ladies in the front seats. A cadence for one
hand gives him the opportunity OF presiding over
that member with the other the free hand blessing
and caressing the one that is occupied His panis
slmo softer than anyones else; his fortissimo is
hardly louder than another's mezzoforte. De Pach
