OLD ENGLISH FoRMALITY.

When q Wife Mover Called Her HuS-
band by HE First Name.
There is a curious picture of the for
mality Of a former generation in Sir
Algernon Vests Zone City and Many
Men," wherein he states that in his
youth it was considered highly Inn
proper for a wife to address her bus
band by his Christian name or for a
son to address his parents without
saying sir or "ma'am."

father by his Christian name" he
writes, "and l recollect distinctly that
the fame of a very fashionable and
brilliant woman was seriously imper'
lied because after some great mans
death a letter from her to him was
discovered beginning vita his Chris
tian name.
"The formal sir was current every

any departure from this practice, and

Formation Of Ice.


The cause assigned for the fact that
water freezes only for a comparatively
small space at the surface Of rivers or
ponds is thus explained. Scientists au-
thoritatively declare that water Is at
its heaviest when 1t reaches 10 degrees
F.-that is, 8 degrees above freezing
point. On a frosty night. as each top
layer Of water falls to 40 degrees 1t
sinks to the bottom. therefore the
whole pond has to drop to 40 degrees
before any Of It can freeze. At length
It is all cooled to this point, and then
ice begins to form. But Ice is a very
bad conductor Of heat therefore 1t
shuts on the freezing air from the
body Of warmer water underneath.
The thicker II gets the more perfectly
does 1t act as a greatcoat and that is
why even the Arctic ocean never
freezes beyond a few feet in thickness.

ST. LOUIS AS A VILLAGE.

ao Many Families.
Captain Philip Pitman, an oficer in
the engineering corps OF the British
army. was selected by General Gage
IN 176T to make an expert report on
the territory just acquired from France
on the east side OF the Mississippi riv-
er. Pitman came to the Mississippi
valley, the Illinois country 1t then was
called, and Travelled about for several
months. Here is what he wrote OF St
Louis in the early part Of 1867;
This village Is one league and a half
above Kaoquias, on the west side Of
the Mississippi. being the present head
quarters Of the French In these parts.
II was first established In the year
1704 by a company OF merchants, to
whom NJ. D'Abbadie had given an ex-
elusive grant FOR the commerce with
the Indian nations on the river Mis-
soury. and for the security and en-
couragement OF this settlement the
stan OF French officers and the COM
missary were ordered to remove here,
upon the surrendering Of Fort Char
tres (forty miles south Of St Louis on
the Illinois side) to the English, and
great encouragement was given to the
inhabitants to remove with them, most
OF whom did.
'TThe company has built a large
house and store here. and there are
about forty-five houses and as many
families. No fort or barracks are YET
built. The French garrison consists
OF a captain commandant, two neuten
ants, a fort major. one sergeant. one
corporal and twenty men."-St Louis

A contemporary has estimated that
since the average length OF q railroad
journey in this country is thirty-four
miles, and a passenger may take 2,275,
122 such journeys with only one
chance Of being killed. 1t would take
him, at two trips a day. 3,To2 years to
run the full gamut of risk. That is to
say, If the one fatal accident happened
to him in the present year 1t would
have been necessary for him to start
his railroad travelling, at two trips a
day, in the year 1879 b. C. It must
be borne In mind. however. that he
might be killed on his first trip.

CURING SLICE IN GOLF.
An Expert Suggests Some Remedies
Fer a Troublesome Habit.

An Expert Suggests Some Remedies
Fer a Troublesome Habit.
The slice is unfortunately a common
fault at golf. destroying all hope OF
accuracy as well aB distance in the
drive. The remedy becomes obvious
as soon as the cause of slicing Is thor
oughly understood That 1t is due to
a horizontal rotation OF the ball in its
hight is unquestionable, from the an
alogy Of the curved ball in baseball.
The question is as to how this motion
Of rotation is impaired to the ball.
The remedy lies either in eliminat-
ing the twist OF the wrists or in COM
pensation for It by turning the club
In the hands while addressing the ball.
II you are a confirmed shcer turn the
club In the hands so that the face
Rlants sharply Inward while the hands
and arms are otherwise held In the usu-
al position. Address the ball with the
club In this position and then swing
as usual. You win be agreeably sur
prlsed to see a straight ball or a pull.
A few trials will serve to determine
the position of the club In addressing
the ball which will give the desired
straight shot.
All the curves. the slice. the pull and
the rise are sharply emphasized in long
shots. The sharp. hard blow OF a rapid
stroke sets up much more rapid rota-
ton Of the ball just as In the billiard
shots.-B. K. Stuart in Outing Maya

In their native country, Holland. they
won their present name, which means

more than national In extent. Travel
ers and dog breeders, attracted by the
intelligence and nervous energy Of this
twelve pound mite. have carried him
into other countries.
The schipperke is an excellent watch
dog. For generations he has been
trained TO guard his masters boat His
bark is peculiarly rapid and piercing,
and his oval eyes see everything. He
has the reputation OF never sleeping
except in "cat maps" Of II few minutes
duration. The activity. alertness and
endurance Of the schipperke are really
astonishing He has been compared TO
a bundle Of Give wires"
In appearance the schipperke Is an
odd little fellow. AS rule, his coat is
entirely black. abundant, thick and
harsh except on the head, erect ears
and legs. 1t increases to a name or
frill round the neck The head Is foxy
in type, the muzzle fine. but not weak;
the neck strong and rather short and
the chest broad. Many Of the schip-
perkes are born without tails. Those
that are not so born have their tails
docked when very young since custom
