THE AMERICAN LEAGUE. fteaacn Whj Our Mother Tonga fhnnld lie Called English. (Somebody lia. been writing to the New York Sun to protest against its Icing call d tlie English language any longer. Tlin man seems to think that the Auieilruna Lave more right to it Hum the people bn saw it first. braiding for a moment the absurd remise that the Americana and the kngllsh are two different peoples, It iay not be out of place to mention ne or two reasons why the language (bould continue to be called after the English. The chief one in that the English made the language. Chaucer rescued h from a welter of French and Saxon, ind gave It form. Spenser wrote hi K"ry y ueea in it, Tb plomi rs of English ate still studied and admired Id American universities. Shakespeare made use of It to produce the great tt dramas In the world. As late :n Ibe end of the Nineteenth century there was a great theatrical manager ui New York perhaps the greatest--fcbo prcaciiti'd Shakspe lie in plays, in English at that, and at great profit, to American audiem-i s. This set ins to Indicate that Americans still lake an lutiijnarlau Interest in the language Milton, if we renieinl). r rightly, found h good enough to employ In "Para Use I.ost." and a few other metrical tritles. lie also wrote a prose mas terplece in It, the Areopagitlca. the Freedom of the Pre, on which the t'liltcd Statis has acted, although tlie Hsay was couched In a foreign lan guage. There are people, cvttl in New York, who contend to this day that Milton Couldn't have done better if he had known American, Coming down to the Eighteenth etiitury, a great moli -if Biore or less distinguished litterateurs rould find no more suitable vehicle than English. They did fairly well In It, although, of course. It has n t the josources of the real Fourth of July American. tioMsmlth struggled with It long i noiigh to create a few tilings that still charm the heart and please the fancy. Dick Steele and Joseph Addison showed what tlie essayist Miild do with it wb'-n he tried hard, lawn-nee Sieino managed to fit his Irish ti tin oc into t, an I cracked jokes without !i ng Into hhing. Pitt, Fox, burke.

Vasehide. In profound sleep the dreams refer to latent recollections of long-past events and matters seeming ly having no connection with the pres ent; but the dreams of light slumber are inspired by recent occurrences and excitements, and are sometimes con nected with what is transpiring around the sleeper. : Coal workings around Cheadle, in North Staffordshire, England, have been traced back as far na the relgu of Richard 111. The early mining la explained by local geological condi tions, as the coal-seams Instead of being hidden under drift as in other parts of England - were brought to no tice through dark streaks turned up by the plow. A late discovery is an old level that must have been driven at least three hundred years ago for draining a coal tract. After a series of experiments with carrier pigeons for conveying lutein gence, the German naval authorities have decided to erect permanent pi eon stations on the coasts of the North and the Baltic seas. Every warship except torpedo-boats, leaving Kiel or Wilhelmsbavcn will hereafter carry consignment of pigeons, to be released at varying distances from the land sta tions. It fs estimated that the birds have HiiMicieiit endurance to fly luniii over a it. stance or about im miles from land. After hn much has been said of t lit excellence of applied science in (Jor niany, it is gratifying to learn from Lieutenant Carden, who has returned from an inspection of the iron, steel and machinery establishment of Eu rope, conducted in tlie Interests of the St. Imls Exposition, that even in (.erman shops the high-grade work Is done with American tools. For gen eral work, lie says, (ierman tools have taken tlie place of English tools, which, ten years ago. were employed in every shop of importance; but for work requiring great precision and excellence, there is to be found, in nearly all the lending shops, a group of American tools. In the new fire alarm system of Einile Guarlnl of Brussels, automatic signals are sent to the engine house by wireless telegraphy. The rise of the mercury In a thermometer acta upon a relay, and Bets In motion a wheel which makes and breaks the electric circuit by a series of contacts. A series of impulses Is thus sent through an Induction coll and the us ual transmitting apparatus. The re ceiver at the central station or engine house Includes air. ami earth conduc tors, coherer, battery and Morse in strument. The same receiver can serve a number of transmitters in different places, and as the contacts on the wheel can be varied, tlie exact location of the fire can be Indicated. NICKNAMES Given Often for Almiirtl Heaaona, and Generally They Stick. "Wonderful how nicknames stick to a person," said the observant man. "There were two nice little women in our village who came to call on us one evening, and we offered thcin s)p eom which the children bad just brought In from the kitchen. They re fused, but not so emphatically ns to keep us from giving them two heap ing plates of the corn. Wo kipt re filling the plates and they kept crunch ing all the evening. There was some thing so funny iiIkiiiI It that 1 calh-d them 'the popcorn ladles,' and the name has slin k to them so that tho whole village knows them by it. "1 once knew a man who talked Incessantly In a hlgh pllched voice and a bright girl dubbed him 'the ehlrpiT.' The name was quickly passed around among the young people, ami now the greater part of his friends know him by that name. A very dlgiiilled young woman of my acquaintance goes by the name of 'Whoiit' to this day be cause when she was a very little girl she tiai-d to call herself "Mrs. Whom' when she played grown-up ladles, anil the family plckid It up. Sin? simply can't shake the absurd name. "Mere than one rvd-hnlnsl man Is known by the name of 'pink,' and phil osophically accepts the title. 1 have an acquaintance who hohls a respon sible position who Is known by the name of 'Dotty.' It seems that one day a mischievous girl discovered that he had three very prominent dlmpies. She promptly dubbed him 'Dully Dimple,' and now he Is known to all his associates as 'Dotty.' Another man of my acquaintance Is always cnllid 'llluebeard' becmw he has such a very white and thin skin that If he dm s not shave dally bis laard shows h ue through It. Thst name, too, came hrot'gli a woman's quick wit. "An old lady frlsnd of mine Is still callel 'Peachy' because when she was a young girl she bad a complexion like reaches and cream. Her brother promptly dubbed her tesehy,' am, 'Peachy' she lll reiiia!o the eTi of her days. In a certain houseboll a very feminine little woman is Mil called 'The P.oy,' because when fcbi was a young girl she went through I very serious Illness which made It nec esary to cut ber hair short. He younger sister said she was 'The boy of the family, and the dainty lady ii still called by that absurd name. "An effeminate man was once called 'Viola' by one of the boys in the office and now we know him by nothing else Another one of the boys in the offlet Is always called 'Chesty,' and aJtbougl he got angry at first be has cheerfullj accepted the name now. "Our bookkeeper Is always puttln In bis oar when it Is not at all neces sary, end I think, now hc. will b. known until the end of time as 'Gen eral butts.' A friend of mine who Ii always called 'Cheerful' doesn't knon whether he Is called that because hit friends believe he has a sunny die position or because they consider bin a cheerful Idiot, but, at any rate, hi can't shake tlie name."

FIRST PLANTING OF SPONGES fcucmnful Kxperiments Made by tin Government on Florida Coaat, Not content with utilizing all tla available resources In the T'nltet States for the purpose of supplying tin iusmIs of the people of tills country I'ncle Sam lias Invaded the sea, sayi the Philadelphia Ledger. The gov eminent has gone In for spougi culture. The supply of sponges h:u never equaled the demand, ant we have been Importing most o: those required for the domestii trade. According to the cnthusl tic trade. According to the cnthusl asts of the Fnlted States Fish Com mission, the American invasion of Eu rope soon will add sponges to Its lis of commodities. Successful experiments have beei conducted, and the actual work o planting sponges off the const of Florl da Is being done under the supervisioi of Captain James A. Smith, of tin Flshhawk. The sponges used in tin propagation are of the shcepshiad va rlety, the most valuable In the world and which (ill every commercial ro qiiiremont. 1 r. II. F. Moore, ussisiaii' Commissioner of Fish and Fisheries devised the method of planting. The sponges are cut Into smal pieces from one to two inches in cii a meter. These small fragments of tin living sponge, which arc dark in color tlie pores filled wilh llsliy matter, art firmly fastened to pieces of coral, rod or terra conn brick and dropped over board. Thin aluminum wire is use for fastening them to the objects. Tin use of the aluminum wire is the solu lion of the diflieulty which conl'rontet the experimenters. The pieces o: sponge have one ouler skin intact, will the outer edges raw. The latter, how ever, quickly heal. The alumlnuji wire will, of course, pierce the spongi and form a small bore, or hole, througl them. The wire corrodes; but this ii an advantage, for It gradually wesin away, leaving the sponge free of auj foreign substance. Most of the dltllculties attending (hi culture have been met in attempting to find something to bind tlie spongei to the roiks which would last louj enough for the growth to attach itsel: naturally to tlie new bed. Tlie aluinl mill) wire does tills. Wood, string, cop per and Iron wire and various othei substances were attacked by the sail waler end aulmal life and remlere useless.

Bllll)IIT(IDlALg0 OPINIONS OF GREAT PAPERS ON IMPORTANT SUBJECTS Long Lives and Our Habits. LL of us when In our right minds want to live as long as possible, and if at 40 we gay, "I don't care to live after I am 80," at the latter age we rub out the 80 and insert 100; and even the centenarian is quite content to keep on SO though be knows his doing popular approval, jtut wtiat conuuees to tong vity is the question that puzzles the average man. To at tempt to reason from specific instances involves bim In a naze of glaring contradictions and leaves him hopelessly new-ildered. Here are Cassius M. Clay and Leo XIII dying rt ithln a few days of each other and each in bis 04th year, ''otild there be a stronger contrast than that between the manner of life of the rugged Kentucky fire-eater and the (rail and abstemious scholar of the Vatican? A man died u Indiana the other day at the age of 80 w ho was noted for his enormous consumption of tobacco, and Jacob It. Smith, of Massachusetts, came forth to ascribe bis good health at lie age of 01 to the fact that be never used tobacco In his life. but out of ft all we may glean these undeniable facts: The human machine is like other machines; some are built io wear out early and some to last a long time, and though die working time of the one may be increased by care and abstinence, worry, excesses and privations shorten the time for which the other can lie kept running, even though not period should be extended over more than the number of years generally allotted to the life of died from the excessive use of tobacco at SO was as surely cut off before his time as one w ho died at "o from the same cause; and tlie frail life of Gioacehino Feed was as surely prolonged by his abstemious habits until he died as Leo Kill at the age of OF New York Press. Gambling and Corruption. F the evil effects of gambling on character and on a whole society there can be no doubt. There is a difference between an investor and a gambler even on the stock exchange, but It Is Impossible to deine it. There are men who J really want to invest money in good shares of -- legitimate industries, and tudes who make the rash bet without knowing anything about the business, or even caring whether there is a busi nettf at all. The supposed opportunities of making money without doing work lead thousands into the "game." Its effect in to inflame tho thoughtless with notions that serious and patient methods of winning u livelihood are too slow and onerous, and this is tlie most dangerous result. When once a people become possessed. Willi the idea thai work, thrift, and skill employed in some useful pursuit are not the real and only methods of making a livelihood, cor ruption has taken posession of liiein, and many evidences of this corruption are to be found now in defalcations, fraud, theft, and moral and financial ruin, due to speculative gam bling with oilier people's money. Philadelphia Ledger. Open Air and Consumption. NE of the most valuable results of modern med ical invest igal ion seems to lie the re-discovery of the well nigh forgo-ten fact that the best remedy for, as well as the best defence against, consumption Is a life In the open air. 'The value of this discovery Is greatly accentuated, too, by the further fact that consumption is the m most, fatal of all diseases when measured by the annual death rale. Kxperieiice has also demonstrated that as It is a diseases to which humanity 1b liable In all countries and climates, this remedy Is as widely efficacious. Some valuable testimony on tills subject was recently furnished In an address by Lord Itoscbery on the occasion of the dedication of three new pavilions of the Victoria Hos pital for Consumption at Edinburgh. This institution FAWN'S SKIN Grafted on Man's Face Hrouijht About a Peculiar Growth, Perhaps the most curious case of surgery that was ever pert'omnil in the region of the Adironducks Is that which was executed upon William Mc Coy, a woodsman. McCoy lias Just returned from the Lake mountain lumber camp after an absence of two years. He brings with him the strange story and Its proof. A year ago last May he was work ing with John Duffey getting out some long poles to repair a chute which Is used to slide logs down the mountain side. Duffey went to cut a limb by all upward swing when tho ax slipped from his hands and went flying through the air. It struck McCoy, and its keen edge shaved off the greater part of his right cheek, lie bled pro fusely while they hastened to the camp half a mile away. There was no doc tor within thirty-live miles, and worst of all the streams were raging tor iv.'ils anil could not possibly be forded, Cominiuiica lion wltli the outside world was cut off and t.iere was not likely to be any means of getting to a vil lage for some days to come, but as luck would have It, there happened to be a nurse In camp from L'tlca named William Henry, who was out roughing it for his health. Henry bwik McCoy in hand. After having partially stop ped the flow of blood he went out to the stable, took a little fawn that some of the boys had captured a couple of days before, shaved the hair for about nine square Inches off the animal's side, and then he carried It to the camp. He took a fountain pin and marked out on the shaved surface the ahupe of the wound on McCoy's face. While some of tho woodsmen held the creature, Henry cut the skin around where he had marked, peeled It off and applied it Immediately to the faco of McCoy. Having fitted It In place linn ly, he rubbed over It a thick coat of balsam gum and over that ho placed tight bandages. The check slopped bleeding at once. A week afterward Henry took off the bandage. The graft was found to be a perfect success. The wound was healing rapidly and it appeared that the scar would show but slightly. In four weeks McCoy was healed so well that he was able to go to work. Soon after, however, be noticed when he drew bis band across his cheek that hair was growing on tho grafted skin. so does not excite man. Tlie man who there are the multi Growing N all a- He was rather pleased at that, for he thought he might wear a beard and thus entirely hide the scar, but in a few days more the hair had grown so (hlckly that its color and nature were plainly visible. It was the hair of tlie fawn growing, and moreover, it was spotted like that of a fawn. He did not dare to shave for fear of breaking open the skin, and allowed It to re jialn until the fall of the year. Then lb': spots disappeared and the "blue" coat of a ';1' ';:"vti deer took Its place. When . - .- 'Mine around he saw that tlie , ;' nis cheek was falling out and line led hair was growing. At last the blue or winter coat was entire ly gone, and the nvl summer coat took its place. In fact, he and the other woodsmen, to their merriment, saw that the grafted skin varied and chang ed precisely as does the coat of a deer. - Northwood (N. Y.) correspondence New York Times. REVIVAL OF SNUFF-TAKING. A Huhit thnt Is (rowinj( Among High and Low ('laasca. Fashion's pendulum Is forever on the s'wing. Inquiries made Into the tobac co trade tend to show Unit snuff once more bids fair to play a not Insignifi cant part in the amenities of social life. A steady increase has been noted In the consumption of snuff. At both ends of the social ladder, too, for, like the pipe, snuff knows no distinct ion of rank or Intellect. "A dirty habit" the use of It has In deed loen called, but devotees at once Join Issue here with the consumers of tobacco In other forms, and claim that If a ballot were taken of mothers, wives, sisters anil sweethearts, the smoker, and not the snuff-taker, would be banished from the household. While "Ichabod" Is written In the dust on many an old snuff-Jar and dis carded snuff-box, the gentle art of snuff laklng bus biH'U sedulously culti vated by high and low. Among the poor In the East End of London snuff Is In great demand, and scarcely a tobacconist but keeps some variety of It In stock. Many West End shops, on the oilier hand, Ignore snuff altogether. "There Is no profit In snuff," said the manager of one of thi.se establishments, "and tho sale of It would bring us a class of custom er which we don't want." Rome houses are specially noted for snuff. They are old-established places, which is comparatively new and situated in a locality with a rigorous winter climate, he asserted bad already many cures to its credit, with a remarkably small number of deaths in proportion to the whole number of patients, thu proving the value of the treatment, which Is that of spend ing both days and nights out of doors all the year round.' lie further alluded to the fact that while the system bad only been introduced in Great britain within ten year, there are already upwards of twenty open-air sanitarium! there. The success of this hospital In Edinburgh, where hereto fore consumption has been responsible for one death in seven, Is In line with modern experience elsewhere. Penn sylvania has such an Institution on a limited scale at White Haven, which has been successful enough to encourage the opening of another at Mont Alto, in the South Mountain Forest beserve. The mountain area of the State can fur nish admirable localties for an unlimited number of these health resorts, easily accessible to all patients within its borders, and to many thousands from surrounding sections. Philadelphia bulletin. Evil of Deforestation. HE illillrv doit bv dofm-eulnlt,.,-, frt n 'T I has been cited often enough, and it has already I been experienced in many parts of our own mini. sia a source or weaun is It not begin ning to be obvious to our paper makers and mill men that it is going to be worth while to preserve our forest, and to make it anew when it has been destroyed? Yet does any one know of a case on this broad continent where anything has been done toward such an increase or restoration? The chopping lias been unscientific, because large areas have been stripped of vegetation and the water and soil have vanished. If ripe timber only were cut, the young trees would have the bet ter chance to grow; but when three-inch spruces are cut for paper It means that there will presently be no spruces. The remedy Is to impose restraints, but it is also to plant trees. The pulp companies own immense tracts which they have busily uncovered, but in no single Instance, so far as known, have they set out saplings, or planted cones, to obtain a new supply. If they had done so, they would not now be paying freight and duties on foreign timber. Legal ly, these companies have acted within their rights in cut ting the woods, drying the rivers, abolishing farms and making life harder in affected districts; but. in so doing they have broken the moral law. the law of duty to one's fellows. From the selfish point of view, leaving public interest out of the question, is it not presently going to be patent to them that they cannot forever reap where they do not sow, and that, if tlie' reaping is to go on, there must be sowing also? It is important that we have novels, and newspapers, and wrappers; but it is also important that we have springs and fuel and farms and scenery. P.rooklyn Eagle. Extravagance of Women. sections of society one bears mirrin men, and indeed others, grumbling consider ably at the extravagance of their womenkind In dress. In Individual cases they may have the right to grumble; but on principle, and in general, I do not see that thev hn ' - -J S-- " time grounds for complaint, because if women are now extravagant in dress It must be remembered that for generations men have been extravagant in other and worse forms of self-indulgence. And, after all, man can take comfort to his soul in the knowledge that It is chiefly with a view to pleasing him that woman indulges In follies of this sort, added to which he should count it as a gain that tills particular form of extravagance adds to the general cheerfulness and gayety of life.

At this time, therefore, when othei agencies are coming into competition with horses for many purposes, and are being substituted for horses In many others, it. is proper for us to consider what it is wise to do In order that there shall not be too serioui losses In an industry as great as it la widespread and Interesting. A few years ago tlie horses In the United States were valued at eleven hundred million dollars, business depression, together with the competition and sub stitutions referred to, depreciated thil stock more than one-half, but ther has been an appreciation within a fevt years, owing to business revival and ensuing prosperity, so that the value ol the luirm In the country had risen more than two hundred million dollars at the end of the last fiscal year, Jun 1Mf' from what the value was at th low-water mark referred to.
