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

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.

Viviparous Fish.
A doubt that has troubled scientists
j for years—whether there exists a vivlp
-1 arous kind of fish, one that gives birth
| to its young in u living state —was defl
; uiteiy seim-il in ihe alunnatJve the oth
j or day when the City Ilall fountain of
1 the capital of Arizona Territory was
j cleaned out. 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

: ;>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,

Advice For TlUn Folk.
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.

High Priced Apples.
Some time ago John D. 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.

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

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.

Fuel of tho Future.
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.
I She wanted to look at baskots, and
for that purpose the clerk took from
tho shelves a large assortment, until
all but two were scattered over the
counter. The woman did not want to
buj\ so she turned away, making the
excuse, "I only came in to look for
one of my friends." Tho clerk felt
rather exasperated, and replied:
"Madam, if you have the slightost

necessary 2,000,000 tons of sugar every

There is more profit to the acre for
the farmer who invests in sugar beeta
than in the finest wheat. At twenty
