The French '• I)e." If the name began with "de," which Is the particle indicative of nobility, it was an easy matter, the only tiling necessary being the separation of the i initial syllable from the rest of the name, says t lie .Nineteenth century, for instance, M Delamnro became M. tie Lamare; M. Delcstrade was trans formed into M. de Lestrade, and M. bervilley signed "D'Ervilley." But the operation became a little more trouble some when the name was a very com monplace on>, such as Durand, Beg nault or Dupont. In that case the name of a town or a political division was added, and the gentleman called himself Dupont de l'Eure or de Nem ours; Rognault de Saint-Jean d'An geuly; Durand de Romorantin, and so forth. When no name of a town or village was available the would-be nobleman applied for permission to add his moth er's maiden came to his own, especially If It had an aristocratic sound. In this way a certain ambassador, whose fam ily name was a ridiculous one, but who'te mother's name, though plebeian, was easy to disguise, dropped by de grees his own name and retained only the maternal appellation, just prefixing the particle "tie" and the title of baron conferred on him under the empire. In the elevated circle in which he moves, thanks to his intelligence and superior education, no one suspects that his real name, if he went by it, would associate him more intimately with kitchens than with diplomatic snlons. /Happy Australian Shopkeepers.

In turning the water out j of the big cement basin, where a gold fish variety of the carp family has long : disported itself for the edification of ihe I'hoenix nurse girl and the Marl j copa County hobo, it was found that many of the fish had given birth to :>rcg*-ny fully formed and ready to dart •ibout in search of food at the moment : ;>f coming into their watery world. Oth- TS had given biftyi to tiny creatures i ihat were globular in shape, except for the protruding eyes aud a nascent tail fin, that could scarcely l>o seen I without a strong glass. From all evi dences, it was clear that the clean-up had been made during the breeding, season, yet there was no sign of fish , roe or eggs.

Eat for breakfast oatmeal swimming In cream. Drink not tea and coffee, but cocoa, chocolate and milk. Spurn toast, especially if it be made of graham or glnted bread. Eat freshly made wheat bread, with butter and honey. Eat fruit for your breakfast, but not the tart grape and the tarter grape fruit. Eat baked apples, with pieuty of sugar and cream, and all sorts of stewed fruits which require sweeten ing. Eat meats with fat on them. Eat Qsh with white sauces. Eat potatoes, cornstarch, simple pudding and ice creams. Drink milk and cream whenever you happen to want them. If you don't care for these nourishing drinks, cultivate a tastje for them. Drink beer, but avoid lemonade, lime juice j and the like. Wear warm, luxurious clothing, but be careful not to have it so warm as to induce perspiration, for that will prove thinning. Do not let it be too heavy, either. Do not take more exercise than is absolutely essential to health. Take the air—yes. But let it be in a car riage whenever you can or on a sunny bench in the park. Violent exercise is the worst possible thing for the wo man who would fair, grow plump. Don't worry. Don't lie awake at night to think about your shortcom ings and other people's sins. Don't care violently for any one. Hearts and consciences are opposed to rounded contours and shapely necks. Rubber Soles. Mothers, have you soen the rubber soling that comes already to cement to the talis of shoes? asks Mrs. J. W. Wheeler. Rubbers draw the feet, yet' they must be worn on many pleasant days to keep the chill of the ground from striking through to the sensitive nerves of the sole. But now this new soling does away with rubbers except when they are absolutely necessary. It is not expensive, but comes in strips sufficient for a pair of soles, for eighteen cents. A bottle of rubber cement costs fifteen cents more, but is sufficient to resole several pairs of boots and mend the children's rubbers and rubber boots in addition. The bottoms of the boots are roughened a little, the cement applied, more ap plied to the soling, then both are al lowed to dry for a few minutes, after which the soling is hammered on, dried a little longer, then the edges trimmed off. A very simple process that any woman can successfully un dertake. Rubber heels (very thick) also como for the same purpose, and are excel lent for slippery weather, also for very heavy people who feel a jar from walking over frozen ground or hard pavements; the rubber deadens any jarring. Women appreciate these soles when, after a forenoon's walking over the house, the "drawing" rubbers would otherwise have to be put on for the walk to store or neighbor; the bottoms are rough, making it impossible for one to slip. Both hoels and soling may be had from any rubber store and from some shoe stores.—New England Homestead. Author of Many Hymns. As a writer of hymns Fanny Cros by, the blind poetess, has a reputa tion that is world wide. Her verses ure sung by Christian people every where, and have been translated into almost every tongue. Besides her hymus, which number about 4000, she has written many bal lads and lyrics, and written the words for several cantatas. Not only is she poetess and lectur er, but philanthropist as well, for scarcely a day passes that Miss Crosby does not find time to devote several hours to work among the sick poor, and in this she says she finds her greatest joy and consolation. Her own infirmity doer, not oppress her as much as the woes of another. Her methods of composing are unique. She depends neither upon moods nor inspiration, but a "hymn written while you wait" has always been characteristic of her work. About thirty years ago—Fanny Cros by now lacks but throe years of reach ing the four-score mark—she made an agreement with a musical firm in New York to write exclusively for their house and to furnish three hymns weekly. These are always on time and always meet with a ready sale. One of her best known hymns, "Safe in the Arms of Jesus," was written in twenty minutes. It if said that no modern hymn has been more pop ular or translated into more lan guages. As a rule Miss Crosby composes nt night. After her family has retired she seats herself in a comfortable chair and thinks out or composes a hymn, or two or three, as the case may be. Perhaps by this time it is 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning. She then retires. In the morning fhe dictates tt\e new lines to her companion, who is amanuensis ' and secretary as well. Then the verses are read to her and she makes any changes which may suggost themselves. One peculiarity ot' the blind poetess is that she nover can think without ska is holding an open book in her hand. Multitudes of persons have been aroused to a better life and multitudes more have been comforted in their time of sorrow through the instrumentality of her hymns. Thousands who have passed through the Sunday-school dur ing tho last thirty years hold her in the tenderest regard as associated with tho bright days of their childhood. She rarely appears in any assembly without calling forth witnesses to her power for good, and sometimes the demonstration is dramatic. One even ing she was present at a mission meet ing when one of her hymns, "Rescue the Perishing," was sung. A young man arose and told the story of his wanderings. Hungry and penniless, he was strolling through the streets one night when he heard the sound of siuging. He caught the words of this hymn. "I wns just ready to perish,' he said, "but that him by the grace of God, saved me." Among her other well-known hymns are; "Pass Me Not, Oh, Gentle Savior," "Jesus the Water of Life Will Give," "Strike the Harp of Zion," "We Ai-e Going to a Home Beyond the Skies." Among her secular verses, which be long to an earlier generation, are; "Rosalie, the Prairie Flower." The royalty on this alone amounted to near ly §3OOO. "Hazel Dell," "Music in the Air," and "Never Forget the Dear Ones."—Chicago Record. Fashion Notes. The latest chiffon sash is nearly three-quarters of a yard wide. Velvet leaves in all the gorgeous \ colors of autumn foliage trim some of the latest hats. The craze for feathers tas certainly reached the limit this season, and every kind of bird is represented in the winter millinery. Among the new fancies in fashion's scheme of decorating our gowns are the black velvet bands generously sprinkled with blue jet. Stockings for [the bridal trousseau are embroidered in some dainty floral design with wash silks on the double edge, and the patterns may be as varied as the number of pairs. The newest fur boa is a frill of fur plaited and wired on the edge to keep it in place. It fastens in front with a head and many tails, and it may be lined with a contrasting fur if you like. Ermine with sable is quite tho thing. Wool and silk mixed goods are much in favor. In both dark and light col ors these handsome materials may be seen, and their wearing qualities are superb. They usually come in double widths and have an exclusive appear ance that will commend them. For late winter and early spring wear it is said that checks and small fancy plaids are to bo much used. The checks will be seen in silks, sum mer poplins, light twilled woolens, zephyr cloths, etamines and ginghams. Clan tartans will also be worn. The blouse has taken such a hold on the fashionable fancy that it ap pears everywhere. It has invaded the ranks of full dress aud house dress alike, aud as every one appears satis fied with it, we are likely to have what some designers call a blouse sea son. The poke bonnet of velvet is making good progress in the fane of fashion, owing to the modernized edition, which is vastly more becoming than the old time shape. The crown is less pro minent than in the old fashion, giving it a rounder effect, and it has more width at the side. Wear a vrreath of little roses in your hair at the theatre, instead of a bonnet, and you will be quite up to date, tli(9 envy of all the other women, aud a delight to the fortunate person who sits behind you. The roses encir cle the knot, which is arranged high on the head, and two or three extra blossoms form a tiny bunch at one side. A plain colored velvet stock with a bow finished on the ends with silk fringes is, perhaps, the latest fad in neckwear; but these stocks are also made of corded silk and black or colored satin, and the daintiest of all are the soft neck scarfs of mull, chif fon, net and silk, trimmed with inser tion, hemstitching, and lace on the ends, tied in a large bow in front. The newest and dressiest yt Paris sleeves are tucked from wrist to elbow. Each tuck laps enough over the one beneath to concetl tkn stitches. Other pretty, stylish sleeves are but toned from the shoulder to the hand, on the outer seam. Most of the even ing dresses are made with elbow sleeves, much frilled nnd puffed at the shoulder and having a full frill I just below the elbow. [ A snperb Rembrandt hat seen in J Paris this season was of dark, phuu colored felt showing an intermixture jof black. A wide piece of rich plum j colored velvet wns drawn tightly over j the crowii, covering it completely, and fastening in a few loose plaits. The | brim was bound with plum-colored j velvet, nnd two long, plum-colored ; ostrich plumes, tipped with black, j curled from the left side, one forward : and the other bending hack.

One of the sturdy old pioneers of Indiana is Alexander Morrow, Carroll County's oldest citizen, who is now living at Flora. Mr. Morrow was born January 9, 1803, in Northumberland County, "Pennsylvania. His father was a soldier in the War of 1812. At Bellows Falls, Vt., a man who was digging a trench for celery iu his cellar was buried by the caving in of the cellar wall and remained under the pile of stones, mortar, and dirt several hours before ho was found. Although seventy-four years old he did not suf fer greatly from his experience. A man with the habit of talking to himself got angry at himself at Port laud, Me., and while walking on the street began calling himself all sorts of names half audibly. Ho let out one of them just as a stranger came up, and the stranger, not knowing his fail ing, let drive aud blackened his eye for him. Borne peculiar combinations are noted from time to time.

Bockofeller, in passing through Buffalo, learned that a dealer in the Elk street market had a small lot of about the finest ap ples ever put on salo iu this vicinity. Rockefeller stopped off, hunted up the dealer and astonished him by taking the apples at §l4 a barrel. When the dealer recovered from his surprise he set about keeping the trade in sight. He was not long iu discovering that at least a portion of New York's wealthy men were willing to pay bonanza prices for eatables that were of a grade above the -ordinary market run. Early this fall he conceived the idea of stimulating homo palates also, and made a trip through Vermont, where he bought quantities of apples, hoping to ship them to western New York, which is bare of this fruit this season, but a canvass of the situation convinced him that the metropolis was tho market for his apples, and the best of them went to New York and Boston. —Now York Press. Sixty Straight Miles of Line Fence. Major Clapp, Indian agent of Pine Ridge agency, has finally arranged for a complete settlement of the late trouble between the cattlemen adjoin ing the reservation and the Indians of tho agenoy over the question of the stray cattle on the reserve. For sev eral years it has been the practice of several of the larger cattle companies to drive their herds over the line on to the reservation to avoid taxation. Other cattle have drifted or strayed from their own ranges. Agent Clapp has just returned from Washington aud thinks that future trouble will be avoided. The stockmen have been notified to drive their "♦ock from the reservation and have been warned to keep them off. The department has decided to build a five-wire fence the length of the reservation, sixty miles; it is to be built in the spring.—Ne braska State Journal. A Dove'fl Refuge. During the last trip of the Kennebec to Boston a dove flew aboard just oil Cape Elizabeth. It soon became frightened and flew off, only to bo me! by a flock of sea-gulls, which drove the trembling bird back to the steam ship. This was repented at intervals until evening, whuu the dove decided that a prison was preferable to n con tinual fight for existence. So the tired bird crawled under a lifeboat—an appropriate berth—and tucked its head under its wing and quietly waited till the Kennebec reached, Boston. Then it watched its chance , and, es caped.—Lewiston (Me.) Journal. SONC. Oh, haste while roses bloom below, Oh, hasto whilepalo and bright above The sun and moon alternnto glow.

There are many speculations as to what is to be the fuel when coal is ex hausted, as some thiuk will happen within a few years. As a rule, coal is required to generate electricity. Water power will do it in certain localities. It is believed that the eleotrio currents in the air can bo utilized, but no very successful experiments have been made in that direction. A gentleman prom inently connected with one of the sci entific institutions of the Government expressed his opinion that as we have an abundant supply of water, wo will be compelled to use it for fuel. It has beon demonstrated that it can bo burned, but a praotical method must be found. Hydrogen and oxygen, tho component parts of water, when sepa rated, furnish plenty of fuel. Could we get these gases into the shape we need tho disappearance of coal mines need not be a source of alarm. In a small way, some stoves have been made to burn water. If, after build ing a coal fire, just the right quantity of wnter could be conducted to the bed of coals, the fire could be kept up until the stove burned out. Oue drop more than the necessary amount, how ever, would put the fire out. It is ex pected that science and invention will solve the matter. Clerk Worm Turns on Shopper.

"His face was as the face of an an gel;" accordingly they stoned him. In judging another's honor, we often place a valuation upon our own. Reading should teach us how to seek for truth, meditation how to find it. The faults we rail at In others are usually the ones we possess ourselves. Whoever will do good will find life too short for the work he will find to do. Never disparage the commonplace. What is more commonplace than a mother's love? If consistency were the first and great commandment, no man would be converted. The development of the best within Us is oftener due to our failures than to our successes. Never hope to hold a neutral position towards an evil; tliat which you do not positively discourage you encourage. BEETS WORTH MILLIONS.

To give us the necessary 2,000,000 tons of sugar every year, 1,333,333 acres of beet-producing land is required, which should yield an average of 3,000 pounds of sugar to an acre. California is now the center of the sugar boet Industry. There is more profit to the acre for the farmer who invests in sugar beeta than in the finest wheat. At twenty bushels per acre and 75 cents per bush el, the farmer receives but sls per acre for his wheat, crop, while at SSO per acre for beets, one acre of them will yield three times as much.—Nu,\v York World.
