never have heard of it before. It is in
the State of Maryland, and stands on a
little hill near the mouth of Patuxent

Spoiling Women’s >ames.
Many, if not a majority, of the names
of 800 or 900 girls from the rrablic
schools examined for admission to the
normal college gives us the impression
that they belong to mere household pets
rather than maturity? to voting women who are ap
proaching and who arc en
gaged in serious work. These girls wliieh ap
parently prefer the nicknames by and
they ore known in the familv circle
to intimate friends, and therefore take
pains to adopt them in their schoolgirls signatures,
In so doing, the public are
not exceptional among the our fnahion young wo
men, for it is quite uow-s
dava for them to grow so enamoured of
their nursery appellations that they cling
to them as their fixed and proper names,
They may even be offended when thqy
are addressed by their correct names,

thaso pet diminutives; and some grave,
grown-up women will put Hattie or
Gussie, Mamie or Bailie on tle-ir cards

is but our pa
triotism can not make us grow fond of
it. The nicknames which appear in so
large a share of these public school girl's
signaturos would do very well for pets at
a dog-show. When they are used to cx»
press the affectionate regard of near
friends and relatives, they also may be
pretty and appropriate, but they look
very silly in a formal signature, and
surely hood. do not befit the dignity ' of woman
We find, for instance, among these
800 names scores of Minnies or Mamies,
and only here and there a Mary, a much
more euphonious and dignified name,
'lane is transformed usually into Jenny
Caroline Elizabeth into into Lizzie Carrie, Ellen to Ella,
and Bessie, Kath
urine into Katie, Martha into Mattie,

Tiger Hunting.
In 1833, in foe month of April, when
at Sirpur, the villagers gave
information of a tiger thorny that had
been marked down in the jangal
to the north of the village. This part of
the country was plain, and there was no
bill or ravine near. Ontram started on
foot, spear in hand, a follower carrying
a rifle, and some six others bows and
arrows. The tiger broke ground on their
approach. Outram followed him on foot
three miles, and eventually speared him
to death. This act, it is affirmed, has
never been equaled another before occasion or he since stood m
Kandesh. On
spear in band, like a gladiator in the
arena of a Homan amphitheater ready
for the throwing open of the wild beast s
cage. The bushes were set on fire to,
and the tiger, by no means relishing the
smoke, came, puffing and blowing like a
porpoise, every five or six seconds, to
get a little fresh air, hut, scenting the
elephant, he was always fain to retreat
again. This sort of work went on for
sometime, and bush after bush blazed
away without producing the the
effect. I could not have stood
penee when life was at stake. At last
there was a low, angry growl, and a
scuffling rustle in the passage. ' The
tiger sprang out, and down descended the
lance mto his neck, just behind the
dexter ear. With one stroke of his pow
erful paw he smashed the spear close to
the head. There was a pretty business,
Mr. Tiger one step below, with the steel
sticking improved in his neck, which had gathered by no means his
Ms temper,
huge hindquarters below him for a des
perate spring, and my friend, armed aft
er the faalifcm of the South Sea Island
era, standing on a little mound, breathing
deflauee and brandishing his bamboo on
high. Eventually the tiger was shot by
one of the party. Outram had some

Long-continued exertion, witiiout
proper intervals of rest, is followed by
a peculiar sensation of fatigue, and
often by tremor or cramp. Fatigue is
due in part, to the failure of contractile
material, and an accumulation of waste
products, m the muscles but, m the
mamtotheexhaustionofthenerveeen
ters that supply stunulus to contraction
Both tremor and cramp are probably
caused by excessive muscular irraunu
ity, the former being due to short. ir
regular explosions of muscular force, the
latter being a prolonged contraction oi
the muscle. •
When confined _
over-exertion is
small group of muscles, these, ms ea^
of becoming enlarged and strengthen© ,
as is the case when exertion and rest are
duly interchanged, suffer itself chronic ex
haustion, which shows m a species
of paralysis- as in palsy, or telegraphers, cramp, sev
erally peculiar violinists, to writers, pianists, tauors,
type-setters, of trades
milkers, and men with various the hammer,
whose work is mainly pen-blade
It is computed that and the disposed to do
iorger, if industrious
full work, delivers nearly 29,000 ac
curate strokes a day, and in ten years
over 88,000,000, each stroke involving
expenditure of nerve force, both in tlie
nerves of the brain which calculate the
distance and amount of force necessary,
and the nerves of the muscles engaged
in the act.
Another result of over-exertion is ir
ratibility of the heart, similarly due heart to
exhaustion of nerve-force. The
may become dilated, so that valves—one
or more—cease fully to close the open
ings, or the valves become thickened
and incapable of .ready and complete
action. The elastic tissues of the great
arteries leading out of the heart may be
weakened by over-distension, and the
walls may, during some strong effort, so
far gave way as to form a pouch, or even
to stretch out into a fatal aneurism,
This irritability of heart gives rise
to palpitation, cardiac pain, and rapid
pulse.
it, is estimated that 38 per cent, of
cases of this affection among our soldiers
during tlio late-civil war were due to
long and rapid marches, or other forms
of over-exertion. Professional peilestri
a ns are proverbially short-lived.
Mountain-climbers, and persons who
carry gymnastic or athletic exercises to
excess, and, especially, laborers whose
work is severe, and who also suffer from
intemperance, foul air and improper
diet, are-peculiarly liable to heart dis¬
ease.
