p LEADERS AND RULERS. Bow Some Common If nmn unit Title Cam) to lie Applied. There are lionjis of history In titles. For Instance, tnkfl thnt of the "prince of Wnlos." This title is nlwnys given to the eldest son of the mler iviKiiitig over Eiislnml, nml it enme In tills wny: Wnlrs is now rmrt of the kingdom of Great Uritnin, bs Ifviar.d nml St-otlnntl re. But once for long time Wnles wns rt fcpnrnto kingdom. At lust the English conquered it, and then lifter thnt there were nlwnys plots nnd rebel lions niiiong the Welsh people. By mid hy nn English king went with his queen into Wales to see if the Welsh were ill fronted, mid if they were to try to mnke things ensier end plensnnter for them. The Welsh nobles and lenders nil enme together to meet their English king nml to complain to him. But the king gnve them no chanco to speak. Ho rose and told them he hnd heard they wnnted a prince of thelrown, and thnt he meant to give them one a born Welshman and speaking ho other language. Then, aa the Welsh joyfully cheered as loud m they could, he fetched out his baby son, born the night before in the Welsh castle, and of course the baby could "speak no other language," aa he was not able to speak at all. Ever since the eldest son of the English royal fami ly has been called the "prince of Wales." That ruler deserved his own title "king," for "king" is a word that comes from "koenlg," which means a "wise" or "knowing man." I suppose the first rnlers the heads or kings of small trilies came to be so by "knowing more," by being "wiser." than the other men of the tribe. "Crar" and "kaiser" both came from the Latin word "ctesar," the title of the great conquering Roman rulers, whoso only law was their own will. The cznr of Russia and the young Kaiser William of Germany hnve much more power over their subjects than the queen of England has over the people of England. "Sultan" is another such title, and it comes from an Arabic word, which means "absolute lord." Grover Cleveland's title, "president," means one appointed to sit before or over others. It comes from the two Latin words "priB," which means "be fore," and "sideo," which means "to sit." The title shows that the president's busi ness is to sit before or above the law makers and carry ont and execute the laws they frame. This is why the presi dent is sometimes called the "chief ex ecutive." "Captain" means "head man." It comes from the word "caput," which means "the head." "Colonel" comes from the same Latin root word as "col umn," and the title no doubt rose from the regimental practice of marching or attacking in column, with their com mander at the head. As to the two titles "democrat" and "republican," when a small boy hears them he generally thinks of one or the other of those political parties as the people who are not of his father's way of thinking. It will do him no harm to know exactly what each of these party titles really means. "Democrat" comes from the Greek word "demos," which means "the peo ple," and from "kratos," which means "power." 80 a "democrat" is one who believes in the power or sovereignty of the people, each acting as nesrly as may be for himself. "Republican" comes from the Latin words "res publica," which mean "for the common good." Chicago Inter Ocean. Bolt Medication m a Selene. Imagination has too much to do with a man's practice on himself. One who reads the little textbook on physiology in the schools will immediately discern in every ramble of his intestines the kind of action the gastrio juices are tak ing on the food that has gone into the stomach, and he soon becomes, if he poshes his investigation further, a mo nomaniao on hygiene. It is true that a man or woman who has arrived at the age of 40 years ought to be able to de cide at a glance the kind of food suited beet to their digestive organs, and expe rience ought to teach thorn never to touch any food that disagrees with them. This is true also of drinking. When a man is 40 years of age, he ought to un derstand himself sufficiently to guard against all imprudences in either eating or drinking or working, but that is about all he ought to know about it. He ex pects to be employed as an expert on others in his own line of study, and he ought to be willing to reciprocate by employing a physician when he is sick. Austin Statesman. A Large Croat la aa English Charon. The largest cross In any church in this country is the "Great Rood," which the Duke of Newcastle presented to the Church of St, Albans, Holborn. It is an enormous crucifix, the cross of which is over SS feet in height, and hangs sus pended from the chancel arch. The cross itself is colored dead olive green, and the arms have terminals of flower-de-luce and Tudqr roses. The sacred figure is painted aud gilt, while on either side stand presentments of St. John the Di vine and the Virgin as "the Mater Dolo rosa." The idea of the work has been chiefly borrowed from the rood crosses to be seen still at St. Peter's, Louvain, and at. Opllnter in Brabant. London Tit-Bit. la Kentucky I urora Must Be Able to Bead. Circuit Judge Green in a murder trial at Wiiliamstown decided that not being able to read disqualified a person from sitting on a jury. It is the first time the question has been raised we believe. Section 223 of the criminal code pro Tides: "The court shall, on motion of either party, and before argument to the jury, instruct the jury on the law ap plicable to the case, which shall always be given in writing." Congressman Dickerson made the point that each jury man should bs able to read the instruc tions UmsHlf, and if be could not do this ha was disqualified. The judge sustained the objection. Greenup (gy.) Gazette. War Mew from Small. New York merchants received a hint thnt something ominous was happening in Brar.il and Nicaragua fully 84 hours before the newspapers published their dispatches announcing those countries, to be in a state of revolution. When they presented messages at the cable offices to be transmitted to their corre spondents in the respective countries, they were Informed in the case of Bra cil that cipher or secret messages were prohibited, nnd in the case of Nicaragua that telegraphlo communication with certain provinces was stopped by the au thorities. These two countries operate land tele graphs as an adjunct to their postal sys tems, and where connection Is made with a foreign telegraph company an agent is maintained to collect the government tax. This agent in emergencies becomes censor, and messages not viseed by him are suppressed. Sometimes notice is given to the sender that his message has been suppressed. More often, however, no notice at all is given. The notices these agents promulgate are official, contain bare facts relating to telegraph traffic alone and are not em bellished by a single word of explana tion. For instance, the Brasilinn notice referred to simply said, "The employ ment of cipher or secret language tele grama is temporarily suspended." It is the duty of the connecting com pany receiving such a notice to forward it forthwith to Bern, Switzerland, the headquarters of all international tele graph companies, where the notice of in terruption, suspension of privileges or whatever happens is instantly sent to ev ery telegraph station the world over. New York Sun. Why Newport Lueks Single Men. One reason why there are no more young men in Newport is because those bachelors who in times gone by were fortunate enough to be the guests of the young married women rather exceeded the bounds of good behavior by accept ing invitations to dine at other houses without consulting their hostesses. A young Englishman, who has been made much of in New York, was asked to spend Sunday at Newport and immediately on arrival informed the lady of the honse that she needn't feel at all bothered by getting up things to amuse him, as he had accepted invitations for every meal during his stay in the place. This was simply one of the many cases, and final ly the young women have agreed that they do not care to merely keep lodging houses. Of course it is very well to say that women of the present day have made so much of the men that they are a trifle spoiled, but the ordinary rules of politoness should hold good, no matter where or when. Cor. Vogue. VThjr a City Flat Is Cloud. There is one flat up town which has been closed a month earlier than origin ally intended owing to the janitor and the hallboy. When the family moved in last May, everything ran smoothly for awhilo. That was because the head of the family "tipped" the janitor liberally and fre quently employed his wife. But when a servant was engaged the janitor began to sour. Then a hallboy was hired, and he re fuged to open the door unless he got a fee regularly. Between the two life was made unbearable for the family, and in a moment of despair the flat was closed for the summer. The head of the house is worrying his head off now trying to think of some course to pursue when he gets his family back to town that he may live in peace without spending all his pocket coin in tips and without being forced to move. New York Herald. Members of Congress. ! The congress summoned by President Cluvoland contains 444 members, not counting the four territorial delegates. Of the 88 senators 45 are pretty sure to vote solidly Democratic, 88 Republican, 8 People's, and S doubtful. The youngest of them is Edward O. Wolcott of Den ver. He was born in 1848 in Mas sachusetts and is a lawyer by profes sion. The oldest is JuBtin S. Morrill of Strafford, Vt, who was born in 1810 and now is a merchant. Moreover, he is the Nestor of congress, having served 89 years. The rest of the senate is made up of 61 lawyers, 4 capitalists, 8 jour nalists, 2 lumbermen, 9 manufacturers, 1 merchant, 1 railroad official, 1 miner, 1 stock raiser, 1 car builder, 1 doctor, i bankers, 1 planter, and 0 quarrymen. The rest put themselves down as "re tired." Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. Chicago's Busy Coroner. The last annual report of the coroner of Cook county shows the numbet of vio lent deaths in this county in June of lost year to have been 106. In July follow ing the deputies held 177 inquesU, in August 105, in October 163 and in Sep tember 100. The smallest number of cases was in February, when there were but 108. The total number of cases in vestigated during 1803 was 2,801, and of this number 1,454 were males. Those who had been married numbered 604. More than one person a day for every day in the year is the awful record charged up against the railroads. Chi cago Mail.

Springfield Graphic His Old Pipe. "Isn't that a rich colorr said a well known lawyer the other day as he held up a brier wood pipe of an almost ebon hue. Then he stroked it fondly with his hand and finally took to rubbing it with his coat sleeve. "It has taken me over a year to color that ple. and I don't think you could buy it now nt any price. I used to smoke cigars 1 do now to some extent but I prefer a piie when read ing or working over my papers. You see a cigar is always dmmtliiK ashes and mussing things up. Then the smoke gets in your eyes when leaning over. But a pipe oh, there is nothing like it for real solid comfort. My wife says this old fellow is getting dreadfully strong, but she hasn't the heart to ask me to dis card it for a new one. See the way that rich chocolate tint merges in the black that velvety looking black and then the gloss that seems to have grown np from beneath the surface. "Strange how a man should become attached to such a thing. But, on the other hand, think of the nights this old pipe has stood by me when I worried my brain over legal tangles; when I grew cross and irritable, how its sweet perfume has quieted and soothed me. Friends might forsake me and fat fees vanish into thin air, but my old pipe was ever at hand with its comfort What a sense of calm contentment settles over me when the work of the day is done and I sit down in the library at home, with my wife and little ones about and this old fellow filled to the brim and go ing! Why, man, the cares and worries of the day slip off and away with the curling smoke. Just look at that ex quisite colort" Brooklyn Eagle. Rich Bap From Maple Trees. The more uneven, rocky and ledgy the land and the drier the soil, except where cold springs abound, the better are the products of the maple. Trees standing in or near cold springs will discharge the most and the sweetest sap. I am acquaint ed with one tree standing by a spring, seven quarts of whose sap will make a pound of nice white sugar. The rich ness of this sap will be realized when it is remembered that it takes 10 quarts of average sap to make a pound. The black maple is the richest for sap of any vari ety. Our poorest sugar orchards give us about two pounds of sugar to the tree, while our best ones yield five and six pounds a tree. I have heard of a few extra orchards yielding 7, 8 and 10 pounds to the tree, and one extraordi nary one thnt has yielded 10 pounds to a tree. The quantity of sugar that can be made from single trees in one season of six weeks at most will depend on many circumstances. The more spouts put into a tree the more sap is obtained and the more sugar is made. From the tree already referred to as standing near a cold spring there were made UOJ pounds in one season with two spouts, which emptied into the same tub. They were set in holes bored H inches deep with a throe-eighths bit. Another tree I have known of yiolded 80 pounds, and a third 28. Still another tree was tapped with 10 spouts, and 50 pounds of sugar were made, but it killed the tree. Timothy Wheeler in Garden and Forest, Stranded In Artistic Surroundings. It is really amusing and sometimes pitiful to seo how men suffer from the artistio mania of their wives. I know of a case whore a husband was not al lowed to touch any of the furniture in the drawing room for fear he would dis turb the effect of color and outline. He wisely stipulated, however, that he should have his own chair in the room, which he was to be at liberty to do with as he liked. Being a man of infinite jest he manag ed to evolve the most delightful and comic situations when visitors were pres ent, explaining that it was his want of artistio feeling which mode it necessary for him to carry his chair about with him. He asked that when his friends contemplated their surroundings from an artistio point of view they should kindly consider him and his chair out of the picture. Needless to say it was not very long before all restrictions were withdrawn and he was allowed to work what havoo ho pleased in the drawing room as well as everywhere else in the bouse. Boston Globe.
