The name of a person is something
that the editor, printer, or proof-read
er cannot guess at successfully. If
there are any words in the copy pre
pared by correspondents carelessly
and illegibly written, they are, in two
thirds of the cases, proper names. If
there is anything that makes an indi
vidual mad it is to have his name mis
pelled or distorted into something
else, yet in ninety-five instances out
of one hundred it is the fault ot the
person writing the name.

A 00D ONE ON A LAWYER.
Colonel Charles Spencer, counsel
or-at-law, some years ago had to de
fend one Marshall, charged with lar
ceny, against whom there was very
strong evidence. Before the trial,
Spencer went to his client, and told
him his only chance was the snleq of
insanity -and advised him to play the
lunatic, and to answer all questions
put to him with the word “spoons.”
The day of the trial came on, and
Marshall took his place in the dock,
pale, haggard, and wild-looking.—
“Guilty or not guilty ¥’ asked the
clerk. “Spoons,” drawled the priso
ner, with a blank stare. “Come,
plead guilty or not guilty,” the clerk
responded. “Spoons,” was the re
ply. “Prisoner, will you answer the
question put to you?” *Spoons,” he
bawled. At this point the counsel
for the prisoner interferred, and told
the court the prisoner was insane,
and not responsible for his actions,
etec. “Do you understand what is
said 7 asked the judge of the priso
ner. ‘“Spoons,” was the reply. The
judge discharged him, as he was
evidently insane. Counselor Spen
cer congratulated him on his escape,
and suggested it would be a good
idea to pay him. His client stared,
and moved away with the simple re
mark, “Spoons.”
A LANDLORD AND SAVINGS BANKER
IN ONE PERSON.
[From the Chicago Herald.]
“Oh, yes, I have all kinds of ten
ants,” said a kind-faced old gentle
man, “but the one that I like the
best is a child not more than ten
years of age. A few years ago I got
a chance to buy a piece of land over
on the West Side, and did so. I no
ticed there was an old coop of a house
on it, but I paid no attention to it.
After awhile a man came to me and
wanted to know if I would rent it to
him.”
““What do you want it for ¥’ says I.
““To live in,” he replied.
“‘Well,” Isaid, ‘you can have it.
Pay me what you think itis worth
to you.’
“The first month he brought $2,
and the second month a little boy,
who said he was this man’s son, came
with $3. After that, I saw the man
once in awhile, but in the course ot
time the boy paid the rent regularly,
sometimes $2 and sometimes $3. One
‘day I asked the boy what had become
of his father.”
“‘He’s dead, sir’ was the reply. .
“‘ls that so? said I. ‘How long
since 7’
‘“‘More’n a year,” he answered.
“I took his money, but I made up
my mind I would go over and invest
igate, and the next day I drove over
there. The old shed looked quite
decent. I knocked at the door, and
a little girl let me in. I asked for
her mothen She said she didn’t
have any.”
“‘Where is she 7’ said 1.
“‘We don’t know, sir. She went
away after my father died, and we’ve
never seen her since.’
“Just then a little girl about three
vears old came in, and I learned that
these three children had been keep
ing house together for a year and a
half, the boy supporting his two lit
tle sisters by blacking boots and sell
ing newspapers, and the elder girl
managing the house and taking care
of the baby. Well, I just had my
daughter call on them, and we keep an
eye onthemnow. I thoughtlwouldn’t
disturb them while they are getting
along. The next time the boy came
with the rent I talked with him a lit
tle, and then [ said:
“‘My boy, you’re a brick. You
keep right on as you have begun, and
you will never be sorry. Keep your
little sisters together, and never leave
them. Now, look at this.’
“I showed him a ledger, in which I
had entered up the money that he
had paid me for rent, and I told him
that it was all his, with interest.
“You keep right on,” says I, ‘and I'l]
be your banker, and when this
amounts to a little more I'll see that
you get a house somewhere of your
own.” That’s the kind ot a tenant to
have.”
The latest wrinkle on proving
claims in Kansas so that one person
can get two claims is reported from
the northern part of that State. A
person who had already proved up
on his claim took a fancy to one ad
joining his, and on this he put a
building and established his wife, an
nouncing that he had separated
from her. and that he had secured a
divorce. A married woman connot
prove up a claim, but a divorced or
single woman can. It is probably
that this avaricious couple would
really go through the formality of a
divorce to secure a claim and then
remarry after the final proof has been
made. ‘
" SAM JONES ON DEPRAVITY.
The Waco Day continues to exhib
it the uncut diamonds from the Sam
Jones’ diggings. Here are some of
the last:
’ I never go digging about Adam
‘with a little “hoe” and™a big “L”
Digging around is not part of my
work. -Poor old Adam! Let him
rest in common sense. There is 6,-
000 years between him ayd_yqu., Lt
him alone. You have got about as
much as you can do to tote your own
skillet. As to whether depravity is
total or partial, I just want to say
this : Every man of us has got enough
meanness in us to damn us; and what
a fellow wants with more than that is
more than I know. I tell you the
biggest rascals in Waco ain’t in jail
by a good deal. For I declare to you
that but for the best influences on
earth, I might have been incarcerated
in jail or the penitentiary. I reckon
there are five hundred men can stand
up now and say amen to that. The
Episcopal church has no funeral ser
mons and I think we had better do
away with them, too. We had better
have none in this town than to have
one preacher tnat will stand up and
preach a man to Heaven who is in
hell. Heaven is the center of gravi
ty of all that is good, and hell is the
center of gravity of all that is bad.
There are not enough devils in hell
to drag a good man down to hell;
there are not enough angels in heav
en to lift a bad man to paradise when
he dies. God don’t bind a man hand
and foot and cast him into hell ; God
can’t keep sinners out of hell; the
devil can not keep good men out of
heaven. When a bad man dies, he
not only goes to hell, drawn thither
by the natural forces of spiritual
gravity ; not only by the approval of
God and the angels, but he goes to
hell with the common consent of eve
ry other man living on the face of the
earth. I don’t care who yoy are;
what’s your age; where you live;
what’s your color—if you are outside
of the atoning mercies of Jesus Christ
through faith and good works, you
have got enough meanness in you to
damn you; and its only a question of
time when you will be damned—and
damned forever. When the devil
went at Adam, he fell the first lick
he made ; when he went for Job, Job
stood like a rock until the devil had
fired his last gun at him.
| CARS RUN BY SODA.
Street cars in Copenhagen are
«rawn by a locomotive without fire.
Steam is created by hydrate of soda.
The technical explanation is as fol
lows :
~ The boiler of the locomotive con
sists of two parts ;an upper one, the
steam boiler, and a lower one, the so
da boiler. These two parts are con
nected with several metal pipes, and
enclose a quanity of hydrate of soda
at a temperature of 220 deg. C. in the
soda boiler. The water in the pipes
will become boiling and develop
steam with a pressure of from 4 to 7
atmospheres ; say, 75 pounds to the
square inch. Five minutes after the
hydrate of soda is put into its place,
the engine is ready to start. During
the ride the steam is carried into the
soda boiler, and is there absorbed by
the soda, and thus still more heat is
created ; and in this way the same
pressure can be maintained until the
soda is completely saturated with
steam—which again is indicated by a
counter pressure in the soda boiler.
The locomotive is then brought to the
tanks at the depots. One tank re
ceives the saturated soda; trom the
others is taken fresh condensed hy
drate of soda ; and thus the engine
again is ready for another trip—all
within a few minutes. The engine
can run without any interruption for
four hours.
WONDERFUL FISH. ‘
A WONRERFUL fish is becoming
numerous in Goose Lake, Oregon.
It is called by some the greenback
fish, for it is certainly an inflationist.
It has the power to fill itself with air
until it becomes very much like a
round ball. Of evenings about sun
down they may be seen playing on
the surface of the water. They will
swell up by taking in the air, and
the wind will blow them over the
lake. They reflect all the colors of
the rairbow, and when sporting over
the lake are a grand sight. A hun
ter several weeks ago saw a crane
swallow one of these fish when in its
normal condition, but before the
crane had got more than fifty feet up
above the lake the fish had taken in
enough air to explode the crane,
which, at the sound of a report like
that of a gun, flew all to atoms, and
the fish came lightly down on the wa
ter, no worse off tor the short ride in
the air.

MODESTY.
Modesty is a word generally ap
plied to the conduct and character of
women. Man, being a kind of “ha
rumscarum’ in his acts, not much is
expected of him in the line of modesty.
Man may occasionally shrink from
unpleasant duties and experience
now and then transient emotions of
bashfuilness, but as to modesty- that
is a“quanity he only admires in the
oppositg sexs Modesty asa term is
most generally applied to females and
flowers. It isa sort of delicate shy
ness which seems to shun public no
tice, and seeks to avoid impressing
its own individuality upon others.
It should be the crowning grace in
the character of woman, the cardinal
virtue which renders her more price
less than rubies. No man will ad
mire a masculine woman. What he
most esteems is feminity in its most
exclusive and divinest forms, and
the highest and holiest elements in
true womanhood is modesty. There
are what are known as romping girls,
and this symptom is not necessarily
an immodest one. It is often buta
childish freak, an out gushing of re
dundant nature, which is easily
thrown off as sweet 16 approaches and
the bud develops into the flower.—
There is, however, a precocious ten
dency on the part of some girls to as
similate t_he.“gjfrl_of,tlge- period” man
\ - e - o - .
ner, and this often_proves hurttul to
suth girls"themselves, and often ob

ing men. It is true there are corres
‘ponding types of manhood, and “birds
of a feather will flock together.” But
right thinking parents, who desire to
rear their daughters as models of true
‘womanhood, should strive to repress
thiat propensity for “fastness” which
brings reproach upon the names and
characters of many girls who other
wise are possessed of mnumerous
charms. The society man may be fas
cinated by the social pertnessof a glit
tering belle, but when he wantsa mate
he looks elsewhere. The modest,
blushing flowers will not long be com
pelled to waste their sweetness on
the deesrt air. Men of fine sensibili
ty, who want companions for wives,
will not choose the bedizzened and
heartless flirts, whose realmis ever
amid the gay and festive scenes of the
pleasure seeker, but look for them in
the privacy of the home circle, where
woman if true to her name, shines
most conspicuously. That phase of
social training which seeks to dispense
with modesty, in order that the rising
female may shine in society, is de
structive to one of the purest and best
safeguards of the sex.

Metal Poison.
I am a coppersmith by trade, and
during a series of years my arms (be
ing bare when at work) have absorb
ed a wonderful amount of mefal poi
son, Having a serofulous tendency
from my youth, the small particles of
copperand brass would get into the
scores, and by this process the poison
was conveyed into my blood till my
whole system became infected. I
was treated with the old remedies of
mercury and iodide potassium. Sal
ivation followed, my teeth areall loose
in my head, my digestive organs de
ranged, and I have been helpless in
bed for over a year with mercurial
rheumatism. My joints were all
swollen, and I lost the use of my arms
and legs, and became helpless as an
infant.
My sufferings became so intense
that it was impossible for me to rest.
The doctots advised me to go to the
city hospital for treatnient. This I
could not bear. A friend, who has
proved a friend indeed, urged me to
try Swift’s Specific, believing it would
cure me. Others discouraged me,
but I secured a few bottles, and now
have taken two dozen bottles. The
first effect of the medicine was to
bring the poison to the surface, and I
broke out all over in running scores.
They soon disappeared, and my skin
cleared off. My knees, which*hecome
‘twice their natural size, have resum
ed their usual size, and are supple as
of yore. My arms and hands are all
right again, and can use them with
out pain. The entire disease has left
all parts of the body save two ulcers,
on my wrists, which are healing rap
idly. Tam weak for long confine
ment, but I have the useof all my
limbs. This medicine is bringing me
out of the greatest trial of my life,
“and I eannot find words sufficient to
axpress my appreciation of its vir
tues, and the gratitude I feel that
I ever heard of it.
