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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

A Coincidence,
Running diagonally over the East St.
Louis race track is a bridge. From it a
road runs to a small settlement near the
race course. As the horses were going
to the ixtst in a 2-veor-old race one dav
recently a funeral procession started
over me image. Home 01 the more su
perstitious of the spectators hurried at
once to the betting ring and plunged on
a horse named Coroner that was in the
race. The contest was run, and the win
ner was Coroner. ' .

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

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.
