Poet Talka lattrntlßC*
Ijr to a Reporter.
The Hoosier Poet, was busy when the
Tales of the Town man called upon
him.
“Glad you oame in," he said. “Not
that I’ve been—but that’s General
New’s story. General New of the Indi
anapolis Journal called on General
Grant during the letter’s first term and
found the president warrior laughing
heartily. Os course New looked as
though he wanted to know the reason,
and the general told him. He said he’d
just had a sail from an old friend who
lived in Galena, Ills., one of hia early
day acquaintances, who said he’d been
in Washington for two or three days,
but had been so busy that he was un
able to cal) upon his old friend, the
president, any sooner, and he apologiz
ed for the delay. General Grant looked
at him- in his comical fashion and
gravely said:
“ ‘Well, John, I haven’t been lone
some I’
“Yon see, the visit occurred at a
time when the president was being
harassed to death by callers from all
directions, who had driven him nearly
to distraction.
“A man who travels a good deal
comes to know towns because of certain
points that are usually entirely person
al with him. Sometimes a bad hotel,
sometimes an extremely early train,
will stamp a characteristic on a town.
I remember that my old friend Bill
Nye was onoe chatting with Senator
Shirley of Maine and remarked upon
the fact that he (Nye) was born at
Shirley, in the senator’s state, adding
that the town had doubtless been nam
ed for one of sh e senator’s ancestors.
“ ’I didn't know, ’ said tbs senator,
‘that there was such a town in Maine
as Shjrley.’

HE COWED THE BULLY.
Harold Frederic** Encoanter With a
Lordly Prussian Lieutenant.
Harold Frederic’s self confidence and
power of dominating strangers stood
him in good stead in one of his first
visits—if not his very first visit—to
Berlin. The incident as he related it
seemed natural enough to an American
not brought up in awe of a military
caste, but to those who knew Germany
it was almost surprising that he came
through it with his life. He had been
paying some formal diplomatic calls,
and in the evening dropped in at the
Case Bauer in the unwonted glory of a
frock coat and a tall silk hat. This hat
was carefully hung on a liat stand, and
Frederic sat down to read an English
newspaper just arrived.
Enter a particularly fine specimen of
the lieutenant, booted and spurred and
sworded and epauletted. He brushed
against the hat stand,knocked Frederic’s
bat over into the sawdust and swag
gered to his seat without so much as
looking around. The slight to the hat
was more than Frederic could endure.
In a towering passion he went to the
lieutenant, stood over him and pointed
to the object on the floor. “Pick up
that hat, sirl" he roared. The officer
stared amazed; the waiters were par
alyzed with terror at hearing one so
much more than human so addressed
by a civilian. “Pick up that hat I" re
peated Frederic in a tone more menac
ing than before. And the lieutenant did
what he was told. He was as irresisti
bly dominated by the courage and foroe
of the man as a schoolboy before his
master, or perhaps he thought Frederic
carried the customary west American
revolver. —Saturday Review.
The Danger of Disease.
The danger from a case of diphtheria
in New York at any season of the year
is far greater than the danger from a
case of yellow fever in the same place.
Still persons who would shun a street
where a case of yellow fever existed
would deliberately enter the apartment
of a person suffering from diphtheria.
A serious outbreak of typhoid fever
creates but little consternation, and the
presence in our midst of innumerable
cases of tuberculosis, a disease which is
responsible for an incredible number of
deaths, is looked upon with indifference
by the public. The misconception in
regard to the danger from this class of
diseases often renders the efforts of
health officials ineffectual. —Alvah H.

“Doctor,” said the member of parlia
ment for a rural district, “are you sure
it’s gout that has attacked me?”
“Positive. But you needn’t be alarm
ed. It’s nothing very serious.”
“Doctor, you don’t appreciate the
situation. You don’t know what a prej
udice againstgout there is in my com
munity. I don’t ask you to do anything
contrary to your conscience, but if I
manage to get the story started that I
caught my toe in a piece of machinery
think of my prospects and the welfare
oi your country and don’t contradict
it.’’—London Tit-Bits.
Thu First Celebration of Christmas.
Christmas was first celebrated in the
year 98, but it was 40 years later before
it was officially adopted as a Christian
festival. Nor was it until about the
fifth century that the day of its celebra
tion became permanently fixed on the
25th of December. Up to that time it
had been irregularly observed at various
times of the year—in December, in
April and in May, but most frequently
in January.—Ladies’ Home Journal.

HYPHENATED NAMES.
Cmuona Why the Yaahlen of Caio* VkMW
I« Bccomlna Popolar.
One of the fashions which, at first sight,
seem difficult to account for is that par
ticular weakness which causes an endless
number of people to change their sur
names. But a little thought will give the
clew to the rapidly increasing army who
yo through the world labeled in a form
differing from the original advertisement
of their known male ancestors. It is
strange, but nevertheless a true fact, that
the undoubted tendency of aristocratic
families is to become extinct, or to end in
heiresses. There Is no legitimate male
descendant of any king of England who
sat on the throne before the reign of
George I.
Os tiie 25 barons who set their hands to
Magna Charta not a single male descend
ant remains. There is not a single Eng
lish barony by writ (heritable by or
through females) now held by a male of
the family In which it was originally
created. There are only about 800 noble
or gentle families now holding the same
land in male succession which their male
ancestors held even as, recently as the reign
of King Henry VIL There is scarcely an
English pedigree without a break. It is
doubtful If there are 50 authentic male
pedigrees today in England which can be
taken back to the conquest.
Thus the necessity of changing one’s
name argued a connection with and de
scent from an ancient family—ergo, it was
ail aristocratic thing to change one’s name
or take a double name. After that of
course came the deluge of such changes.
At a much later date camo the class who,
with no inherited obligation to do so,
were glad enough to perpetuate by a
change of surname or by the adoption of
a double surname the fact of their descent
in a female line from an ancient house.
At a still later date, probably within the
last 50 years, has arisen yet another class,
a typical product of the days wo live in,
who for mere purposes of distinction, one
might say from the necessity of distinc
tion, have been glad to seize any plausible
excuse to either make a complete change
or more often to hyphen on some other
name In the hope that the combination
will be more or lees distinctive. While
such names as Plantagenet, Maltravers,
Mauloverer, Conyers, Fitzalan, De Bohun,
etc., have become extinct, the names of
Smith, Brown, Jones and Robinson still
increase and multiply as the sand upon
the seashore. And with this ghastly mul
tiplication and duplication, small wonder
that distinction becomes advantageous.
It seems to be a-very general idea that a
man may change his name, as, how and
when ho likes, seeking the approval and
authorization of no one save himself.
Nearly every solicitor will advise you to
this effect, because the textbooks he crams
from and relies upon do not teach him to
the contrary. This idea, unfortunately,
is rapidly spreading and to a great extent
dates from the following dictum of a
judge, who remarked from the bench, “I
know of no law to prevent any man chang
ing his name as often as he likes, provided
that it is not done for the purposes of
fraud.” This is not the only case in
which a judge has gone wrong by endeav
oring to apply the rules of law court law
•nd jurisdiction to matters of “honor,”
which are in the sole prerogative of the
crown and which are within the jurisdic
tion of the earl marshal’s court.—Genea
logical Magazine.
Life on a Transport.
You have no idea of what a transport is,
and especially one that is overcrowded. It
is really a hell on earth, or rather on wa
ter! Thank heaven, the weather has been
fine, and I have slept on deck every night,
not oven going below when It rained. I
never felt better in my life and have come
to the conclusion that I can stand any
thing.
As I have not been at all seasick, I vol
unteered for the stable police, who have
to clean up below decks where the horses
are. If you could put all the terrible
smells in the world together, you would
get some idea of what it is. We can only
stand it for about half an hour at a time
and then have to take a spell on deck to
recover. If we had a storm, I am afraid
it would go hard with some of the lads, as
a good many are pretty seasick now.
The food is fierce, and we onlyhavecon
densed steam to drink, which is allhost
hot, but still I seem to thrive upon it.
Every morning we get up at 5 and form a
line in our birthday suits and have a great
hose played on us. Then we have break
fast, and after that comes target practice
at boxes over the stern. We were on fire
three times in two days and only had hard
tack and rotten coffee to eat and a little
dirty water to drink.—Harper’s Weekly.
Blsmarok's Head.
Some accurate particulars as to the form
and measurement of Prince Bismarck’s
head have been contributed by Herr Fried
rich H. Kranz, the present head of the old
Frankfort, firm of hatmakers, Martini &
Co., to the Hamburger Naohrlchten. As
the Bismarck family objected to a cast of
his head being taken after death, the trade
statistics supplied by Herr Kranz may be
valuable to future biographers and physi
ologists. Fifty years ago, according to
the first record of the Martini Kopfmass
machine, Bismarck’s head had a width of
59J4 centimeters. During the later years
of his life his head had swollen to the
width of 62 centimeters.
His skull was of a peculiar formation,
the “bumps” being considerably larger on
the right side than on the left. Perhaps
this was a phrenological symbol of his po
litical sympathies, for, though he once
said that the old Adam in him was in
clined to republicanism, he never allowed
these early inclinations toward the left to
influence his resolute determination to up
hold the contrary side in politics, and the
physical development of the right side of
his skull may have been a trophy of the
victory of bis will over his inclinations.—

EXPERT TOBzXCCO TESTING.
Caban Buyers and Their Highly De
veloped Sense of Smell.
The greater part—in fact, nearly all
—of the tobacco raised in Cuba and not
used by the Cnbnn cigar makers is
shipped to the United States. At certain
seasons of the year the Havana hotels
are filled with tobacco buyers from the
United States. Some of them deal
through the brokers in Havana, but
some who know the country and the
language go out into the tobacco dis
trict and deal directly with the plant
ers, often buying a promising crop be
fore it is picked. The tobacco buyer has
necessarily to be a good judge of tobac
co. He goes down into the very center
of tho bale of tobacco he is examining,
extracts some samples and tests them in
different ways.
The first test is that of smell. The
Cuban tobacco has a strong and pecul
iar odor. A little variation one way or
the other makes the tobacco good or
bad. After smelling it the buyer is like
ly to roll a rudely constructed oigar out
of the leaf and smoke it He will inhale
the smoke and endeavor to determine
exactly the flavor. He will also examine
the ash carefully and test also the com
bustion of the tobacco—that is, try to
find out how long it will hold fire. It Is
a great annoyance to a smoker who is
talking or writing or otherwise engaged
to put his cigar into his month and find
that it has gone out. No cigar ever
tastes so good after it has once gone out,
and a fine Havana cigar is positively
rank when it has met such a catas
trophe. So one quality sought for is
that of holding fire. If a sample smoked
by the buyer will keep lighted four
minutes, it is considered very good.
Some will burn for five minutes and
even longer without being puffed.—
Ohio State Journal.
Schley’s Loor Lears.
A Kansas City man who was a class
mate of Schley’s at Annapolis says that
the admiral was looked upon as the
best Spanish and French scholar In the
navy. His department at the academy
was modern languages. “I remember
one thing in particular about him, and
that is his Jong legs. He is not notice
ably tall, but his legs are of wondrous
length and he can run like a deer. In
the navy they never tire of telling about
Schley in Korea. During the trouble
there we sent a landing party ashore in
charge of Schley. The boat had not
more than reached the shore when out
jumped the marines to make a dash for
the parapets, possibly half a mile away.
In the lead was Schley. In a jiffy he
was far ahead of everybody, his legs
working vigorously, and when the em
bankments were reached he had prac
tically distanced all the others."
Too Costly.
The San Francisco Argonaut tells a
new story about Stephen Massett, so
well known years ago asPJeems Pipes.”
When he was the editor of the Marys
ville (Oal.) Herald, Mr. Hittell, the
well known California pioneer and
author, engaged him in argument on re
ligion, which Mr. Hittell attacked,
finally winding up by saying, “See
here, Massett, you ought to get my book
on ‘Evidences Against Christianity;’
that will convince you.”
’■‘Very well,” said Masset, “I will.”
So the next time he entered a bookstore
he asked for it. The clerk showed him
the work in two volumes. “How much
is it?” said Massett.
“Three dollars,” replied the clerk.
“What!” exclaimed Massett. “Three
dollars! Take it back, sir, take it back;
I prefer to remain a Christian. ”
