May Charge His DUN Name

Guez, Maurice Barrymore's was Her.
bert Blythe, Henry Irving was John
H. Broadrib and Henry M. Stanley
was John Rowland.
Justice Finelite says that in Biblical
times the comforting of names was
generally connected with some cir
cumstance of birth. Several OF Jacobs
sons got their names in this manner,
the name being chosen generally by
the mother, while occasionally the
father gave it, and sometimes others
than parents gave it, as in the case
of Solomon. Before the exile chill
dren seem never to have been named
after their relatives, the court says,
and none of the twenty-one kings OF
Judah was named after predeces-
sor or after David, the founder of the
family.
The court says that as the Jews
spread through the land bordering on
the Mediterranean they drew upon
other languages for personal names
while retaining Biblical ones, and
such new names became popular In
| Italy, Persia, Arabia and Turkey. This
led to the adoption of two names, one
for civic purposes and the other fol
Hebrew documents. In 1887 the Aus
trian government compelled the Jews
| to adopt surnames.

FRAN.<LIN'S CLOTHES STORY
Is Brought Out Again for Airing and
It Is Urged That Our Diplomats
Should Follow Example.

Every now and then when laud
able effort is made to dress our dip
lomatic corps in something more be
fitting their dignity on ceremonial oc
casions than the funereal spiketail OF
waiter costume in which they are now
CARRIED, a cry is raised by some OF
our representatives in congress that
such a change is undesirable, and
the old story of the way Franklin ap-
peared at the court of Louis XVI. OF
France is brought out again for an
airing, and it is urged that our diplo-
mats should follow his example.
Franklin, it will be remembered, ap
peared among other foreign ambassa-
doris and the uniformed generals and
admirals at court in a plain suit, such
as he was accustomed to travel in.
The French, ever eager for novelty,
hailed the innovation with momentary
enthusiasm and supposed it was the
costume of an ambassador from a poor
and struggling nation.
AS a matter of fact, Franklin had
no Intention of wearing the suit IN
which he appeared, and until he found
out its effect, he probably had an I'M
comfortable time of it, for he was a
man with an acute sense of the fit
ness of things. Some time before he
had ordered a handsome court suit
and expected to make as fine an ap-
pearance as any other foreign am
bassador, but the tailor from whom he
had ordered the suit did not get it
finished in time and Franklin had to
go in the only suit he had ready.
He continued to wear it after his
court suit was done, as he saw he
had made an unintentional ''hit. !"
When he was in England, he wore a
handsome court dress of velvet, en-
broidered with old,-The Christian

A Bio Maine Eaule.

Mrs. Andrew Hartman of Bucksport,
few days ago killed an eagle with an
ak in her poultry house, and her quick
action undoubtedly prevented her re-
ceiving severe injuries in an encounter
with the bird. The persistent barking
of the dog drew her attention to the
hen house, and on looking within she
saw a large bird causing strange
commotion among the hens. Thinking
the bird to be hawk, she grabbed an
ak from nearby woodpile and,
strengthened by excitement and fear
for the safety of her hens, she dealt
the big bird a blow which killed it at
once She was greatly astonished to
find that she had, unaided, killed an
enormous golden eagle. The eagle had
bitten the head off one of the hens and
his talons had done other damage. The
eagle measured seven feet from tip to
tip of its powerful wings, and from his
feathered legs talons two and one-half
inches long protruded.-Kennebec

Usefulness of Brothers.

The girl with brothers, and owning
home in which brothers friends are
made welcome, has an infinitely better
chance Of making happy marriage
than the girl with neither of these adj
vantages.
Brothers make excellent chaperons.
Any man they introduce to their sis
tiers is quite sure to be all that can be
desired. Men know men as no woman
can ever hope to know them.
If brother shows his willingness
for things to happen by bringing a
friend often home, his little sister may
feel quietly confident that her heart
is leading her in the right direction.
The brother with pretty sisters is
quite philanthropist in his way, since
he runs the risk of losing the friend of
his bosom If he becomes his sisters
ardent admirer and the lady fails to
return the admiration. ~

Pretty Body Of Water viii Be Filled

Regions in Idaho.

Boise, Idaho.-A strange fate Is to
overtake the beautiful Occur d'Alene
lake in consequence of the recent de-
vastating forest fires in the panhandle
district Of Idaho. The big land and
lumber companies owning tracts in
the district have sent their experts
over the burned areas and are now
combining to log the whole district
and store the logs in the lake.
1t is estimated enough logs will be
put into the lake in the next two
years to cover its surface completely,
SO that it will be practically nothing
but an immense log reservoir for the
next ten years. The Rutledge, Nc.

LOS FOR CENTURY

Santa Teresa was Arizpe. The de-
scendants of many of the miners VINO
worked in the property are still Nv
ing here and the family traditions OIL
the fabulous richness Of the ore and
the enormous quantity that was pro-
duced are being told and retold since
it was learned that the chances are
good of the property being opened up.
The owner of the Santa Teresa
mine was Ignacio Munoz, a man OF
great wealth who lived at Guaymas.
The abandonment of the property was
due to the raids of Yaqui and Apache
Indians. These redskins massacred
many of the miners and the remain
der fed to Imuris, first sealing up the
entrance to the shaft. Munoz, the
owner, died soon after this, the for
mer mine employees were scattered,
the raids of the Indians continued,
and when 1t finally became safe again
to enter the region where the famous
producer was supposed to be situated
no trace of 1t could be found.

TEETH OF HUGE ELEPHANTS

Find Beaver Dam.

Seattle, Wash.-A hydraulic nozzb
cutting away an ancient gravel bank
on the Kougarck river, 120 miles from
Nome, to wash out gold, uncovered
sixteen mastodon teeth, grinders Of
eight huge elephants that roamed
over Seward peninsula when that
now frozen country was covered with
abundant vegetation.
Near by the nozzle uncovered a
beaver dam, the frame of which was
composed Of fir timbers foot in
diameter. There Is not a fir tree
within hundreds Of miles Of the place

The mastodons, beavers and fl
trees are shown to have been contem
poraries, confirming the belief thai
the nastodon survived long after
Alaska had ceased to have tropical
climate.
