A Curiosity in Nomenclature.
The negroes in the British West In
dlan island of Grenada find it very dif
ficult to keep track of tbeir descent and
their relatives because of a curious
custom they follow in naming children.
The father's Christian name is given to
the son for his surname. Thus if a
man is named John Jones his son may
be called James John and that son's
•on Robert James, and so on to the
end of the chapter. Naturally in a few
generations families get into a hope
less muddle, and nobody knows exact
ly to whom he is related/
If there is anywtiere on .roar Horizon,
a spot of liglit, fix your eyes upon it
and turn your thoughts away from t&
clouds which may cover the rest ctf

Things OT the Past.
Betty had been punished. Her aunt
did not know that, and when she came
Into the room and found Betty sitting
disconsolately before the window she
said: "Why, look at our little Betty.
She looks ready to cry. What Is S»-
lng to happen, I wonder?"
Betty looked ap and then said sol
emnly, It has happened.**—HtmlM—pn.
Endurance.
The pilgrim fathers were undoubted
ly heroic men, facing, as they did, with
dauntless courage, fire, frost, famine
and the red menace of Indian ruthless
aeas. But the pilgrim mothers were
mors heroic still for they endured also
all these things and had in addition to
stand the pilgrim fathers as well.—
Life.
Wash the glass with water to which
a little ammonia has been added and
polish with a chamois which has been
dipped in water and wrung as dry as
possible.
The Orchid.
The orchid is a peculiar plant, for,
strange as it may seem, there is no
distinctively orchid odor. One smells
like the violet, others like the rose, the
hyacinth, the daffodil. Orchids are the
monkeys, the mimics of the vegetable
world, in odor as well as form and
tint No ether flower resembles an or
chid, hot orchids are forever aping
butterflies, pansies, roots, spiders, pitch
plants, birds and what not And tfcey
sco not absolutely certain to look just
the same twice in succession.
Ruffed Grouse.
Civilization is abhorrent to the ruffed
grouse, king of American game birds.
It seeks the depths of the forests
where the wild grapes and winter
green berries grow thickest: where
clumps of laurel offer security from
prowling wildcats or foxes; where
mighty trees supply roosting places.
There is no'prouder bird in appear
ance than the ruffed grouse, none so
majestic in flight. The hunter who cau
find him and after finding can make 50
per cent of hits may be classed as an
expert. When flushed this grouse
springs into the air with a roaring
noise; there is a flash of brown hurling
itself through the forest, and in an in
stant the bird is lost sight of.—Boston
Journal.
Caste System Among Ragmen.
Japanese ragmen have a caste sys
tem going from the lowest class, com
posed of men with no capital, who go
about picking up bits of paper and
rags with pointed sticks, to the high
est class, in which there are some men
who are quite well off. There is an
intermediate class composed of men
who can pay .for what they get, the
products they deal in depending large
ly on the amount of money they may
have. Among the higher class of rag
men there are divisions of trade, some
dealing in woolen rags, some in cot
ton and others in different kinds of
| paper.—Japan Society Bulletin.
Watch Your Pep.
Pep is a slang word invented to con
vey the idea of those who are always
up and about, who are full of "ginger,"
who never go to sleep at the switch.
When you are full of pep you can go
a long way toward doing almost any
thing. But pep runs out If your
stomach goes back on you because you
don't know how to take care of it; if
you consort with weak minded people,
taking on the color of their weak
mindedness; if you burn the candle at
both ends, then your pep runs low.
Watch your pep.—Life.
Napoleon's "First Love.
The little French town of Auxonne
is not associated in the popular mind
with Napoleon; but, as Hiss Betham-
Edwards reminds us In "Unfrequented
France," he spent some years of his
cadetship there. "In the Saone he
twice narrowly escaped drowning, and
here, too, as narrowly, so the story
runs, marriage with a bourgeoise maid
en called Manesca. Two Ivory counters
bearing this romantic name in Napo
leon's handwriting enrich the little mu
seum."
Be it ever so homely, there's no face
like your own.
Man is mortgaged up to his neck In
the past.—Life.

That Prohibition fails utterly',o prohibit .... sot successfully dc'ied b7 the aost g
'B rabid Prohibitionist. Not only do the records of the supposedly "dry" States pre. J
prohibition a failure, but United Cites statistics show the futility of attempting to ci> ,1
jg force laws to which th(* majority of persons are opposed. Although the Prohibition ;.r
in the United States lias doubled in fifteen years, jC.. :n t.iat J
J sumption of intoxicating liquors has also nearly doubled. In the per capita con- ||
| sumption in this country was about thirteen gallons a year. To-cay tie per capita con- j5
M sumption is twenty-two gallons a year. The total output cf beer -3 zjout 0c,0e0,000
I barrels a year; of whisky, 130,000,000 gallons a year; of wine, 33,000,000 gallons. At j|
first sight these figures might give an idea cf tremendous ability :n this country to pv.i
H away akoholic beverages. But this is not so. For although our per capita consumption
■ of liquor is 22 gallons yearly, yet England consumes 23 1-2 gallons cf intoxicaUs per |
I y capita a year, and Germany a little more thin 20 gallons. Yet the most rabid I
Prohibitionist could not say but that England and Germany are among the temperate U
®! nations of earth—yet the Englishman and German drink more than the United States |
I citizen. That Regulation and not Prohibition is the solution of the problem i:> found
in the FALLACY that Prohibition prohibits, and that FACTS show that although in
the past fifteen years the prohibition area in the United States has about doubled, yet 1
the consumption of liquor, per capita, has also almost doubled in that time! IHE u
