NICKNAMES.
Tlio Odd Ways In WM-h the Idlers at
Karatogn Adiiren Their Wives.
When a lounger on the veranda of one
of tho big hotel ; at this place hears ft man
say "Hurry up, little one," or "Come
along, birdie," lie may be sure that it is ft
husband addrci-ing his w ife and that she
is enormously fat. Apparently nil hus
band of fat- women address their wives
with diminutives, if not wiih nicknames
til only for small women or little girls.
"Daisy," ''liirdie" and "Iklby" appear to
be the p-t 1'fimes mot favored by the hus
bands of maminoili womt-n. In this haven
of conjugal rt-.-t, for Saratoga is distinc
tively for married couples and has less
con eiiiences and attractions for lovers
than any place in America, ono gels a
deep knowledge of the ways of wadded
folk. This matter of nicknames for wives
is one of the mo.-t interesting studies. To
pursue this branch of learning it is only
necessary to nit for an hour or two, on any
afternoon, while the mut-ic is playing in
the inner garden either of the United
Siates bob 1 or of tho (Irand Union. All
the rest the married couples will do for
the student. They will talk unguardedly
in his hi arlng, and he will soon be able
to classify the couples and the pet names,
for certain names go with certain sorts of
couples as infallibly as pie goes with sup
per in New England.
The very swell and exquisite youni?
married men, who dress vainly and seek,
to give the impression that they btdont; to
the F. (,'. D. C, dance at Delmonico's and
know all the fellows who . have yachts,
call their wives with monosyllables, such
as 1'uss, Chris, Hen, Fan, Ioo, Tot.
There seems to be only one marked ex
ception in the list. You often hear ono
of these wives called "Popsy." There
are two l'opsies at the States and there is
one tit the Union. Oddly enough, the
fathers of these same fellows, men so well
kept that you can't Bay whether they are
Io or (ii), are fond of drawling out tho full
name's of their helpmeets, as, for instance,
"(.'omo heah, l-'rarnces," or "Now, my
d-.-ah Eleanor, you must have a wrap."
Equally fixed is tho rule that thin and
sickly women, dyspeptics, r.curalgics, and
the like, are addressed by their liege lords
as w ife, madame, tr Misses Thompson,
Misses Brown, or w hatever. The invalid
husbands, and all the prim and precise
ones as well, address their better halves
as "my dear." This, by the way, i3 tho
established custom with the Hebrews,
though they usually are heartl to pro
nounce the words "mine teer." The
clergymen seem to have united upon the
word "mother" as a title for their wives,
mid the men who are no common here,
a. i who teem to be wrapped up in an
only girl or boy, call their wives "ma."
Other nicknames resist classification
tut. ; far, though perhaps the key to all can
be found by diligent application. There
is no end to the Dollies aifl the "my
loves," while one hears a miscellaneous
lot of passersby addressing their comrades
as "Pet." One plump little wife is grad
ually becoming known to everybody iu
one of the hotels as "Sugar," the nick
name her husband calJi out assiduously
and loudly all day in tho parlors and on
the promenades. Tho temptation for
others to call her Sugar 13 growing pain
ful. She is not tho only feminine confec
tion, for, at the States, there is a dimpled
brunette who answers to her husband as
"Sweety," anil yesterday a very prim
looking wife, somewhat the shape of a
board, was siddressed as "Sweetness" be
fore till the crowd at the spring ia Con
gress park. It may be an oversight, but
there does not sccia to be a "darling" in
town. A muddy faced, corpulent man of
40, who looks as if he had been born and
brought up in the Stock Exchange, always
addresses his wife as "Precious," and in
the saute hc'tel a husband, who appears to
h:iil from the west, replies to his wife with
"Yes, Pigeon," "All right, Pigeon," end
so on. As it happens, there is romething
ak-.-att tho wife's appearance or manner, or
per. ps it is her shape, that renders this
oide : t'f nicknames peculiarly appropri
ate. The young fellows who ars spending
their time in pulling the down on their
upper hps are fond of pointing out "Sugar"
to all their acquaintances, and in another
week they will doubtless add "Pigeon"
to their stock cf fun. Saratoga Cor.

S-leep and Its Counterfeits.
The Frenchman, whose long trance or
i;ke: r ttn.cted extrnerdinary attention in
the latter part of March ami the begin
ning of April, was commonly spoken of
as the Soho tlet pcr;" but when wo speak
of ft man "sleeping"' for several days or
weeks consecutively, it is obviou3 that we
do not use the term in its ordinary sense.
Y,"e all know by experience what sleep is,
and we cannot conceive ourselves as sleep
ing for an indefinite time. Yet it is diffi
cult to draw a line between normal and
abnormal sleep: tho physiological con
dition merges by insensible degrees into
all kinds t'f pathologic-til states, known as
lethargy, trance, stupor, coma. Through
the usual phenomena of dreaming, wo
pass likewise into those of nightmare,
sor.imuubuiism, hypnotism, ecstasy, and
the-like. Yet it is important sharply to
define typical instances of these condi
tions, so as to avoid hopeless confusion in
an already obscure field of scientific in
quiry, and though we may for the sake of
convenience occasionally use the term
sleep in the wider sense, yet the distinc
tion between the various states included
under it must be kept present in our
minds. Popular Science Monthly.
Oil on the Waves.
In a pamphlet issued lately by the
United States hydrograpluc office, Lieut.
Underwood says that mineral oils are not
eo effective for use at eea as vegetable or
animal. A comparatively small amount
of tho right kintl of oil, say two quarts
per hour, properly used, is sufficient, he
asserts, to prevent much damage, both to
vessels and to small boats, in heavy seas.
The greatest result from oil is obtained in
deep water. In a surf, eir where water is
breaking on a bar, the effect is not so cer
tain: but even in this case oil may be of
benefit, and its use is recommended by
Lieut. Underwood. He advises that, when
an attempt is about to be made to board a
wreck, the approaching vessel should use
the oil after running as close as possible
mider the lee of the wreck. The wreck
will soon drift into the oil. and then alxat
may be sent alongside of her. Scientific

To Prevei:t Seasickneyg.
Y.e have already mentioned a number
of remedies for seasickness. Dr. Suther
land suggests another, which he -mployed
successfully in crossing the English chan
nel, he escaping when almost every one
was sick. He takes a tight hold of the
pillars supporting the deck, and, as the
boat rises in going over a wave, he runs
uphill, as it were, reversing the direction
of his run when the boat descends the
wave. Science,

Industrial Training In Germany.
An interesting letter giving an ncconnt
of tho Industrial training system in tho
; schools of llesso-Darmstudt, (Jcrmany,
i was recently published in Science. Jt
tsecms that iu tho girls' schools sonio kintl
of needlework has iilways been taught.
"Prom tho very earliest times of tchool
i history girls have been known to take
! their knitting and sewing to school, and,
I in tho early part of this ccntur)-, not
only the girls, but tho boys also, used
! to knit their own stockings nt school."
j This work, however, was performed sim
' ply for tho sake of the stockings which it
! produced. At the present time tho prac
tical end has not been lost sigiit ot, out
the educational end has become the more
important. The jmrrit furnishes the
child with tho needed material, which, of
course, its work may render worthless;
yet, for all this, no one complains that
tho training does not pay. Tt;o first lfs
sons ia tewing are the use of tho thimble
and scissors, threading the needle mid the
ways of holding tho cIl-Hi while sewing
and cutting. "Tho stitch lesson Is lirat
performed on paper; after a while a cheap
kind of mu.slin is substituted." Patch
ing and mending nro thoroughly taught.
In the high schools th garments made by
the girls often evince a great deal of taste
and a good knowledge of dressmaking.
In the boys' schooi.s of Germany indus
trial training is not usually a required
branch. At Darmstadt it was begun a
few years ago by private citizens, who
gave such Instruction outsido of school
hours. The results of the experiment were
bo satisfactory that the institution estab
lished was made part of the public school
system. The other schools close th daily
session about 2 -MO. The manual train
ing is therefore given duriug the
latter part of tho afternoon. In
the summer time the boys nro put to
work in tho different gardens belonging
to the institution. At other seasons of the
year they are engaged in tho light and
plain carpet ry, and in the making of such
articles as baskets, brushes, brooms, etc.
Typesetting and bookbinding aro taught
to tho advanced classes. Each boy re
ceives a small remuneration for his work
when it is well done. The money is not
paid directly to him, but is put into a- sav
ings bank, and from time to time he re

Itoy.il Itrot hei-H-ln-Law.
The Prince of Wales was thoroughly
sorry to lose his cheery brother-in-law, the
King of Greece, at the termination of the
king's jubilee visit. Though they have
met for a day or two occasionally during
the twenty-four years of their relationship,
the two men had never laid an opportunity
of seeing what sort of stuff the other was
made of till now, and it is satisfactory to
know that the king's visit to Marlborough
House litis sown the seeds of a close friend
ship. Tho King of Greece was brought up
in tho same hard school of poverty ks his
sister, and is proud of it. Indeed, ho car
ries his homeliucss to the verge of affect a
tion, for not only does he dispense with
the services of a valet, but he doe a great
many things for himself that other men
who don't keep a valet would never dream
of tloing.
The king always brought his work bas
ket into the smoking room beforo retiring
for the night, so that ho might use the
half hour devoted to the nocturnal "night
cap" in replacing missing shirt buttons.
But the monarch wasn't allowed to have
it all his own way, for Prince Gceirgo of
AVales, liko most sailors, is pretty handy
with the needle, and ran his uncle very
close in some of the wagers they had to
gether ns to who could sew a button on
tho quickest. The king is said to be
equally proficient in the art of darning
socks, though of course ho throws them
away when they get like that now. Lon

Ktlquettn of the Cigarette.
There is a fashion even in so small a
thing as the lighting of a cigarette. In
Cuba it i3 customary among gentlemen
for one to place the cigarette between his
lips, light it, take a. few puffs and then
hand it to his friend. In Spain the came
fashion prevails. An Austrian is very
punctilious about the etiquette of cigar
lighting. He lights his cigarette first and
then hands the lighted match to his com
panion. The idea is that it is more cour
teous to allow a comrade the greater length
of time. If he is handed the match first he
naturally hurries in order to hand it back
again. A Frenchman always hands his
companion the match first. An Englishman-proffers
the cigarette to his friend,
lights a match, hands it to him and theu
helps himself to another cigarette and
match. An American usually hands his
friend a lighted match and takes a light
from his cigarette afterward.
The small boy gets a light wherever he
can, generally from some passerby on the
street. The habit cf slopping men in the
street to ask for a light is looked upon as
ill bred in all countries. In no country is
it tolerated to such nu extent as in the
United States. New York Mail and Ex
press. A Berlin Weather Prophet.
The astronomer Falb, who last year at
tained some celebrity by his more 'or less
accurate predictions of earthquake shocks,
has this year ccme to grief by his weather
predictions for the months of June and
July. In commenting on his failure, a
Gormen paper recalls the fate which once
overtook another scientific weather
prophet, Professor Dietmar of Berlin, who
had predicted that the winter of 1823-29
would be so mild that butchers, confec
tioners, etc., would be unable to procure
a sufficient supply of ice. It so happened
that after New Year of that winter un
usually cold weather set in, and, as if by
common agreement, so many boxes filled
with ice were sent by post to Professor
Dietmar, the freight charges being un
paid, that the Postmaster General von
Nagler advised all postoffices by circular
to refuse the acceptance cf boxes with ice
for Professor Dietmar of Berlin. New

A Considerate Menial.
Sam Walkup, although in affluent cir
cumstances, is ono of the most s-habbily
dressed men in Austin. His colored body
servant, Tom, on the other hand, dresses
like a dude. One day Mr. Walkup said
to Tom:
"It must cost you a great deal for
clothes. You are always dressed in the
height of fashion."
"Yes, sah, it doe3 cost mo right smart,
but I does it, sah, entirely on your ac
count." "On my account?"
"Yes. sah; cf I was to dres3 as you do,
nobody would hab tho slightest respec'
for you, sah." Texas Sif tings.
