The Lavish .Ieokina.

In October, 1886, religiously mind. ed Buckinghamshire farmer named Jenkins brought his flrstborn to the parish church to be christened, and this was to be the name: Abel Benja- min Caleb Daniel Ezra Felix Gabriel Haggai Isaac Jacob Kish Levi Ma noah Nehemiah Obdiah Peter Quartus Rechab Samuel Tobiah Uzziel Vaniah Word Xystus Zechariah. It will be observed that the names are all ar ranged in alphabetical order and are as far as possible selected from Scrip lure. It was only with the very great est difficulty that the clergyman dis suaded Mr. Jenkins from doing the lasting wrong to his child that he had unwittingly devised, but eventually 1t was decided to christen the boy simply Abel-Chambers' Journal.

HoN Springs, rk.-(Special)- )-The Aousiest bee hive and the liveliest sounch in Hot Springs just now may be aeen at the Arkansas State Fair office. Secretary Wadley and his &orpsiof assistants are so busy from oarly morn till late at night, that the Droverbial cranberry merchant isnt in It, while President Westcott is equally active, helping to plan and direct tho general work. A State Fair boom heretofore unprecedented is sweeping over the state. Never has the inter. <st been So great, and the manage @ent is elated. The forecast indi- cate an elaborate display and mon- oter attendance that will amaze tho public, and heroic efforts are being
 put forth to prepare for It. Letters arc daily pouring in to the State Fair to1fice from every county and section sof the state from prospective exhibit s0rs asking for catalogs and reserving space, for exhibits, stalls for live stock. spens for swine, or applying for con- sessions. It now looks like all avail table apace in the great exposition pal ~acs and agricultural hall will be taken s1ong before the opening date. and that additional exhibit space will have to ,be provided. The magnificent fair grounds however, afford ample facili-

While the displays from great manufacturing in- 0Atntions ill other states will be great A1r tn number, variety and quality than 7 ever si before, the ssmost encouraging .oessaro IS the vast increase in state vznibits of all kinds over any former years. This hhows that the aim of the engagement is approaching a full !. yoallzation-thatt the State Fair Is be- ooming not only in name, but in fact --a great state institution. which 0oans in the way of exploiting the marvellous resources of the banner As&Ato dn the Union.

Tho Human lobstsr.

The lobster has always appealed to the Englishman as antording nick name for his fellow Englishman. Lobster was . favorite term of abuse among the Elizabethans. though 1t is only conjectural that an allusion to red faces was conveyed. As signifyipg a soldier. lobster" originated in the civil war, being applied to the Round head cuirassiers. as Clarendon ex- plains. because of the bright iron shells with which they were covered" Afterward the allusion was transfer red to the soldiers red uniform. But that was the boiled lobster" The ''rav V lobster was naturally the man in blue. the policeman. In earlier days we find Grose explaining that "to boil one's lobster" meant for a clergyman to become a soldier.-London Chron- fcl0

orally Eat l..
 F1se clay has been in use for cen uries, and yet believe the inIustr! . one which lacks definite laws moro than any other. including those which are either modern or ancient and o1 less prominence. You can go to manufacturer of steel and specify what you want by actual figures ol statements and you can check the prod act by chemical analysis or mechanical sests and thus make sure you get what you need. The producer knows how to combine certain elements and what quantities of various kinds to combine n order to get result at least very closely approaching what you call for, but not so in the fire clay business. IH lhe past the most skilled and highest salaried chemists have been employed Q make tests, to promote and carry through Investigations on the natural product and to study the workings of certain manufactured and elaborated lrticles derived therefrom- The result has been, generally speaking, confusion worse confounded Two professors, working at similar times on brick or clay obtained from the same source and manufacture under exactly equal conditions. have recorded diametrically opposed conclusions! The same scien. lists at different periods have reached tastly varying conclusions when test ing identical qualities and shapes of bricks, SO can you wonder if promi aent fire clay manufacturer should ex. elaim. as heard one on an occasion after having the above experience All tests of fire clay are empirical, and would sooner trust our superintend. ant to pick and select his clays in the a~d fashioned way than pay high fee For highbrow's recommendationsT The chief method of testing fire clay oy a practical man Is literally to eat t. He can detect grit and sand best by that method. and good fire clay free from silica. quartzite or flint :lay) is free from grit. His only other personal test is by eHperiment.-ED gineering Magazine.
