Some Welsh Words.

Welsh is a marvelously expressive
language. In a souvenir guide to Car
narvon there is Il list of Welsh rail-
way stations with their English equiv
alents. Here are some Of them: Aber-
gwynfi, entrance to the place of bliss;
Amlwch, a place of frequent expan-
sion; Cefn Brynich, the back Of the
screalxing hill; Dowlals, the voice of
God, and Llanbister, the manure yard
road" There is also one station the
name Of which runs to fifty-eight let
tiers. Its meaning is merely, ''The
fair church at the pool of the white
seagull near the alder grove where the
fodder for the oxen is stored in the
red barn" And surely teetotalism
ought to flourish in a country where
beer is known as "cwrw."-Pall Mall
Gazette.

Each member of the cabinet is sup

crisis, when important papers reach
Downing street, the premier, after
perusing them, places them In tho dis
patch box and hands the box to spe-

each member of the cabinet in success

key and relocks 1t after he has read
the documents It contains. In this
way the papers are prevented from
falling into The hshds Vt strangers or

NAMES AND FACES.
Douglas Marked the Men He Wanted
to Know Anain.

to Know Again.
stephen A. Douglas had the most
remarkable memory for faces Of any
man in public life declares a CORE
spondent Upon the occasion Of a
visit TO Washington on election day in
1850 the late Colonel John W. Forney
was discussing the election of Garfield
over Hancock with Colonel Harmon of
Detroit. Colonel Harmon had been
mayor of Detroit and prominent in ma
tional politics. Harmon and Forney
got TO talking about earlier politics,
and Harmon related the story of
meeting with Douglas In New York.
Douglas had been nominated in Balti.
more by one faction of the Democratic
party. Breckenridge was chosen by
the other faction in Charleston. When
he heard of his nomination Douglas
was in New York He entered the
Astor House, then the headquarters
for all politicians and the principal
hotel in New York, and Immediately
was surrounded by his political admir-
ers. Among them was Colonel bar
mon. The latter, according to the
story he told me, put forth his hand
and congratulated Douglas on his nom
ination.
Thank you, Colonel Harmon re
piled Douglas.
Harmon was amazed that Douglas
should have remembered his name, FOR
he had met the little giant but once,
fifteen years before, and then for but
a brief period. After time he return
ed and asked Douglas how he was
able TO call him BY name.
My dear colonel, said Douglas, /
whenever I meet a man I want TO
know again pat a mark on him and
never forget Washington Post.

An ingenious implement for sitting
ashes is the ash sitting shovel design
ed by a New York man and shown
herewith. AS will be understood by
the name, it performs two operations
practically simultaneously. The scoop
of the shovel. which is unusually ca
pacious. is mCshed and bound in iron
strips. In the back is a series of
sharp toothed wheels. projecting
slightly through slots In the bottom
of the scoop, SO that when the latter
is passed over a supporting surface
the wheels revolve and cut the larger
cinders into pieces small, enough to
fall through the mesh. Good coal
will be too hard to break up in this
way. Therefore as a man takes a
shovelful of ashes from the heater he
need only turn to an ash box with
strip on top on which to operate the
wheels, aud pass the shovel across
this once or twice.

Frederick C. Boyer, a well
known Cleveland editor, told at
a recent press banquet a news
paper story.
"A Medina editor died." he
said, "and was. of course, direc-
ted to ascend to the abode of the
just. But during the ascent the
EDITORS journalistic curiosity as
serted itself. and he said:
" Is it permitted for one to
have look at-er-the other
placer
-" Certainly was the gra-
cious reply, and accordingly a
descent to the other place was
made. Here the editor found
much to interest him. He sour
ried about and was soon lost to
view.
His angelic escort got wor-
ried at last and began a system
attic search for his charge. He
found him at last seated before a
furnace tanning himself and gaz-
ing at the people in the fire. On
the door of the furnace was a
plate saying, Delinquent Sub
scribers.'
" Come said the angel to the
editor, we must be going
" You go on the editor ans
wered without lifting his eyes.

DUKES POOR RELATIONS
LOSE HOME IN MANSION

LONDON. Nov. Mrs Miller Ora
ham denies the report that she has pur-
chased Stafford House from the Duke Of
Sutherland. The Grahams. though
wealthy. could hardly afford to maintain
perhaps the most costly house in Lon
don. 1t is believed Stafford House was
really purchased by Sir william Lever.
the multi millionaire soap manufacturer.
who has Just started for the Congo With
Q party of friends to inspect Leverviiie.
the handsome modern town he has con-
structed as the capital OF a large tract
recently purchased from the Belgian
Co1go Company. Stafford House has
been the home for the poor relations
both Of the Duke OF Sutherland and the
Duchess, and its sale will mean their
eviction. 1t Is suspected this 10 one ~
the reasons for inducing the Duke to
get rid Of II as the only means Of shad-
Ing down this increasing colony of de-
pendents.
