Hut may not the worthy Mrs. )ivvci- have Itecit justified in her action? It is very prob able that Pivvcr is a ph-ln-iaii deform ity of IK' Ycre. which time, custom, carel.-ssiiess and imtitl-r-nce to de scent brought about. Names sutrcr just sm-h milt ilat ions ami at rit ion iu the course of time, and arc ground down to an indistinct sound, losino edge and accent ill the process. We once heard of a man who signed his name Simmer without the slightest suspicion that genealogy would have justified him in writing it Seymour. This very beautiful ami cuphoiiius name is treated with barbarity by many who bear it. who pronounce it ocnioic. utterly oblivious that it comes from St. Maur. in which form it is now w riltell bv t h.' d like of Somerset . w hose heir is Lord Soy inoiir. This family of c uioiirs. b riling the name iu its am i. -ut and authentic form, and con serving its concentration as Seymour in one of their t it les, undoubtedly are moved by th.' purMise of letting tin world know how they would have it pronounced. 'I .-y are a very old race, associated with St. Maur in Nor mandy before the Conqueror invaded Knglaii.l. They arc as proud as the proudest. When ir LMward Seymour joined William of Oraii-rc at Kxoter. the latter said: "I think. Sir Kdwnrd. that oil arc of t he fa mil of t he .1 ukc f Somerset." "I'ardoii me. sir." said the aristocrat of arisf.x-rats. speaking as the head of the elder branch, "the duke of Somerset is of my family." If a man or woman in America thinks it worth the time and trouble to trace descent iii search of an ancestor it is quite possible that he or she may make a discovery gratifying to family pride. S.x-ial lines have I wen much more close ly drawn iu lir.-at Lritain iu the last two centuries than th.-y were iu the times of the I'lantagcnets ami t h Tu.lors. It was 110 iiio. .111110. 11 thing four hundred years ago for tin- sons of nobles to go into trade iu association with men who had made their way from very humble beginnings. The sons of country knights were often glad to be taken into the counting house s ami households of t he rich Lon don merchants. Marriages often fol lowed that united the tradesman's fam ily with old. historic lines. fry kind ly relations sprang up between the pal aces and "the cit." Kcn inonarchs did not disdain to mate w it h ladies of no higher rank than simple gentry. Kdwar.l 1Y. married Kliaboth Woo.1 ville. who. though tin- daughter of a baron, was the widow of a simple knight when the king, who wasalways taken by a pretty face, met her. The mighty Oiioeii Kliabet h had among" her near k insf. .1 k 011 her mot lu-r's side some good nature! ever day count ry M-ople who bore the name of llr.M ii. and w ho. w hen she came to the throne, visited London iu the expectation of ncxitisin. The great queen was more Tudor than I trow 11 by t he way, Owen Tudor himself w as but a plain Welsh knight w ho made a lucky marriage - and she sent her country relatives back with an intimation that court life was not their sphere, and with no sinecure to console thetu. 1 r. I K.I an eoiiject 11 red t hat the slang phrase: 'Astonishing the Lrowiis," long in vogue iu Kngland, may have had its origin in this inci dent. The Lrowns were ty-s. for there was many a plain coun try gentleman who might with gclioa-log'u-al justification "call the king his cousin." All this has changed: caste has hedged itself iu within tin last t wo centuries; classes do not min gle so much as t hey did iu the time of the Tudors, w hich is t he best M-rio.l for A mericans to st udy when in search of ancestors. if a lady or gentleman with a taste for ancestors wauls to gratify it. it is only au embittered enemy ot the heraldry otlice who will seek to thwart the endeavor.

It is made of silk or satin and veiled with mousseliue de soie, which is shaped like a turned down collar and trimmed with two narrow frills of yellow Yalen eiennes lace. The collar is much more dainty than the stock and is a charming- and becoming- finish to any Inidice. Another new idea is the satin collar, trimmed with rows of Valenciennes lace, lilack or mauve satin collars with yellow lace arranged to form two poiuts iu front, are loth new and pretty. To be worn with gingham, or, in fact, any of the cotton dresses, there are deep collars of mull trimmed with embroidery. Thoy are made to form a yoke and epaulets, and are convenient because they launder easily and so freshen up a gowu. Some of these broad collars are edged with two rows of braiding-, through which nar row ribbons are run. The effect is pretty when the ribbons contrast well with the color of the g-own. Chicago Tribune. THE COLONEL AND THE SNAKE. Shocking Outcome or the I'rof eauor'a t-l-uernueut Iu Natural History. A well-known professor of natural history and au amateur taxidermist, re siding in a northern suburb of Chicago, was in the city to look ut some South American snakes procured for him bv a local dealer in foreign animals. The reptiles. ay.s the Times Herald, were all that the professor desired. The purchase was made, the snakes were chloroformed and the professor placed them in a blue cloth bag he had ear ried with him for the purpose. He then went to the northwestern depot, took a seat in the smok -r, placed the hag ! side him on the seat and proceeded to enjoy a cig-ar ami the afternoon pafier. t hi the same train a qtiartetteof hiea go business men usually meet for a quiet rubber on their way to their sub urban homes. They happened to have t heir seats on the other s' ' of t he aisle from the professor. On the opposite side facing- the professor, one of the players called the colonel had his seat. The coloiu-1 is known for his weakness for Kentucky juice and carried his us ual allowance on this occasion. The play started and so did the train. All of a sudden, as the colonel arranged his cards, he happened to look over to the professor's seat; he was observed to start, and was evidently disturWd atxiut something. This was ren-ated M' vera I times during the journey, and the colonel was playing in bad luck and had to stand the joking; of his fel low players. Thr ft he players had now reached their stations and said g-oid-by to the colonel, who had a little further tc travel. Suddenly a peculiar hiss was heard. The professor started up. looked at his bag for a second and then with practiced hand caught the head of a snake protruding from a bag. The colonel had leeii ail interested w it ness of the incident, and a feeling of relief seemed to pass over his face. Turning- to the professor he said: "Sc it is real live snakes. liood Cod, I thought surely I had them; why iu thunder do you carry such beastly ver min around w ith you?" T he professor explained the reason and that probably one of the snakes had not been suffi cient Iv chloroformed. The colonel has had to stand a (rood deal of joking since then and has been inviting his friends to his favorite dis pensary.

In the northwest forests where but a few years ago vice most hideous Ix.hllv paraded itself in the public ga:e ami almost to the present lurked butlittle coiiccaled iu the iieighlxirh.Mnl of popu lous communities, ex (x-rieii.-.-.l search fails to find any vestiges of the deprav ity that formerly prevailed. Occasional discovery of haunts like those that once infested the ent ire northwest re gion now raises a decidedly indignant outcry against such monstrosities of the past. And yet. says the Chicago Journal, it was only eight or ten years ago that every settlement in the pineries and t he mining camps of the northwest vied one with another in infamous and law less practices. Citizens of more than one locality in Michigan or Wisconsin, after pointing out the improvements of a decade iu the apearaiice of their thriving city, conclude a tribute to Un moral standing of the place and its c it i zens wit u the statement that a score of years ago this was by reputation "the most disreputable town iu the I'nite.l States." In every lumbering town was to lx found from two to a dozen st.x-ka.b-s. dens of infamy where womanhood was held as cheaply as iu any harem of au oriental prince. At lirst these st.xxl on frequented streets, later in by-ways of the city, tinally retreating lx-fore the advance of public decency to the cover of the w.xxls. half a mile from any highway. Hither were brought young girls enticed from Chicago. Minneap olis, and even more distant cities. Kvery dive had its procuresses in every city within reach. I'nder the control of brutal men and hardened women the youthful victims were inducted into their lives of shame, never to Ik- re leased until death came. High walls of sixteen-foot timber placed ou end surrounded the rude huts. At the barred gateway was kept a kennel of tierce bulldogs, trained to pursue only the unfortunate women that might at tempt an almost usclessTtlight. The disappearance of even the very walls that sheltered these iniquities is something marvelous. Some were razed to the ground by woodmen, wearied of the immorality they fos tered. All have vanished except a few, which stand decaying and deserted re minders of the old strongholds. One of these is in the pine w.xxls across the Menominee river from Norway. Mich. It was otic of the most notorious resorts of the northern region. Within the stockade stood a comin.xlioiis two-story frame house. The stockade itself was of planking, sixteen feet high, with a strong gate facing the front out ranee of the house, ou either side of which was a kennel of dogs. The escape of a woman, disguised as a man iu order to deceive the dogs, was the means of bringing to notice the char acter of the place and its tenants. She had been lured to the place with assurances of reputable employment. Twice before she had attempted to escape, eluding the dogs by her change of appearance, but had l'-n overtaken by the keeper of the place. A prominent lawyer in Norway swore out a warrant against the slave master and secured conviction ami a heavy tine. A few rejietitions of this treat ment convinced him of the advisability of a change of business. He betix.k himself to the copper mining country ou the shore of Lake Superior and en gaged in legitimate business. He is now the jwjssessor of a fortune of tive hundred thousand dollars. The house he once occupied when en gaged in his soulless business still stands, dilapidated and tenanted only by the horrible assx-iatioiis, and jx-r-haps by the sutferiug spirits of the past. On the decaying framework of the stockade still hang the long planks, separated by wide gaps, through which may le seen the desolation within. The gate and the kennels are gone. The doors have fallen and the thin part i tions are broken through. It looks what it really is, one of the last of its kind. Exaggerated stories occasionally reach the public of the revival of these old haunts, but their untruth is evident from the character of the inhabitants that now make up the xpulatiou. Like all sections of the country, there is more or less immorality permitted in the northwest towns, but the old-time stockades have disapjieared- So. too, have the gambling resorts, around which so much lawlessness centered. The stirring scenes that made those localities so interesting from a distance are unknown now, succeeded by the tameness of business enterprise. b servance of the Sabbath and of Un civilized customs of Christendom is not on the 1'uritan order, but does not dif fer from that of any section of the pro gressive west. These parts have lost their well-earned reputation as "the toughest in the United States." Naming h 11 area In (iermaay. In some provinces of the (Seruian empire there is an old decree in force forbidding the giving of names not found in the calendar of saints or taken from ancient history. An Kng lish gentleman writes to the London News, saving that while in th-rmany he wished to have his sou baptized Fran cis, but was prevented by the authori ties from doing so on the alxive named grounds. He explained that Francis is bhort for Franciskus. which is in the German calendar, and that Sir Francis Drake and Francis llacou might ! re garded as belonging to ancient history. Hut no attention was paid to this plea. He finally appealed to the courts, but the case was decided against him. and he will have to pay a tine or be sent to prison. Uave M la Fort rait. The king of Belgium, when walking one day, called at a farmhouse and asked for a glass of milk. While he was drinking it, he heard the hostess say to her h'usf.and in Flemish: "I wonder what that long-nosed Engiishmau will give us for the tnilk?" Whereupon the king took out a five-franc piece, and handed it to the woman, saying iu Flemish: "Allow me to offer you the portrait of the long-nosed Englishman." Youth's Couipauiuu.
