RELATI058HIPS.
That there aro minds so constituted
as to ho unable to understand any de
grees of relationship beyond the family
circle of father, mother, brothers and
Kibters we can gather some evidence
from our own experience. Never shall
we forret the attempts made by a party
of collegians, many j'cars ago, to px
plaln to a lady at a rnper-tablc the old
puzzle; " If Dick's father Is John's son,
what relation is Dick to John?" She
really tried her licst, but utterly failed
to grasp the problem. Much assistance
wiui ofl e red in the shape of a decanter
and a wine-glass to represent Dick"
and John;" and the lady's voice might
have been heard, amid all the din and
rlattor, exclaiming seriously, and in a
tone of remonstrance: "Do you mean
to tell me that that wine-glass is the
grandfather of that decanter?" Hut it
was all in vain. The attempt to cou
t inee the. good lady had to be aban
doned. The intricate mathematical in
vcitigation was beyond her powers.
There are also persons who have nev
er given their mind to problems of this
kind, and to whom any tiling outside of
their own narrow experience presents a
difficulty.
The number of people who under
stand the terms " first cousin." sec
ond cousin," "lirs't cousin once ro
HiovodJ' etc., is very small. Probably
many of those who read these lines im
ngino that a "first cousin onco re
moved," etc, is the samo as a ' sec
ond cousin;" and still more carry on
the transactions of Hfo under a mistaken
notion that if "Mary" is "first cousin
onco removed" to, say, "Tom," then
Tom isalso "first cousin once removed''
to Mary. Let us hasten to dispel these
illusions.
Supposo we illustrate our remarks by
a fictitious little pedigree:
Mr. Junta.
Mr. W. Jow.
Mr. T. Jonrs.
Mr.A.JuiK. Mr, J. .7on,
Mr. Clour. TomJomt,
L .. .1
MnrrJonr. it. Jonrs. K. Juno.
Now hero it may bo necessary to ox
plain, as we fear many persons "don't
understand pedigrees." Tho orininal
Mr. Jones is supposed to havo had two
sons. Meat's. William and Thomas
Jones. Of those two brothers William
was tho father of Alfred and John, and
TfiontU? was tho father of Charles and
Tom. Mary is the daughter of Alfred;
Henry is the i-on of John, and Richard
is tho son of Charles. Jt will not need
nny extraordinary acumen to dicovor
that Alfred, John, Charles and Tom are
all grandsons of tho original Mr. Jones;
andthat Mary, Henry and Richard aro
his groat-granilchilurcn. Thoso who
havo taken in thus much ma, by a
further stretch of intellect, comprehend
that Alfred and John are first coumih to
Charles and Tom, tho lather of tho
former pair of brothers boing brother to
tho father of tho latter pair. Hut now
come-: tho difficulty. What is tho "re
lationship" between our old friends
"Tom" and "Mary?" Tom is first
cousin to Mary's father, Alfred. What
relation is Mary horelf to Tom? Somo
persons say ' second cousin;" but this
is a mistak'e, she is tho " first cousin
onco removed" a rclationhip which
may be defined as that of "the child of
a fir.-t cousin."
This relationship, existing as it docs
between two persons in different gen
erations, c not descended by an
equal number of -steps from tho com
mon ancestor is sot a mutual relation
ship, like "brother" or "firscousia,"
Jn other words, if Alfred is brother to
John, John is brother to Alfred; if Al
fred is first cousia to Charles, Charles
is first cousia to Alfred; because these
are in the.samo generation;" therefore
theso relationships "brother" and
first cousin" are "mutual." But
uncle" and "nephew" are notmntual
relationships; lor, if Alfred is undo to
Henry, Henry isnot " uacio" to Alfred;
and if Richard is nephew to Tom, Tom
is not "nephew" to Richard. And
first cousin onco removed" FsaTela
tionship like'Dephew." If , Mary and
Henry are14 first cousins 'once removed"
to Charles, it does not "follow that
Charles is " first cousin once removed"
to them.- Hex is of tencalled so,, but
quite as erroneoasly, asan uncle would
be called feis aej&evfia.- Ujtephtw."
The curious fact remains that,, for the
converse of -the relationship "first cous
in once refooved,":V r. for a "parent's
nrt cousin," tucrc is no name or uni
versal acceptance.
It has beea shojvn that k first cousin's
child is called a "first cousin once re
moved." On tho same principle a first
cousin's grandchild is called a "first
cousin twice removed," and his, (or
her) child would bo a "first cousin
three times removed," and so on,
the number of "removes'" showing
by how i wany generations -the
two persons who aro so related differ.
On the same principlo that a great
grandchild is rare t. c, person lia
eally removed by three generations
a first cousin three times removed is,
speatd&xeaerallv, somewhat rare, but
far nore common, doubtless, thaa a

relatives of any kiad, removed or aot
removed stand bctweca him aad the
chieftainshif of his family, who shall
blame him for having studied the intri
cacies of rclalioas'uip? Jt has aot sel
dom happened that a very distant cousia
has thus succeeded to "the title and es
tates." There was aa iBstance of this
in the great house of Stanley, about a
century and a half ago. When Janae,
the tenth Earl of Derby, died in 1736. it
was necessary to fp back some two hun
dred and fifty yean in order to establish
the claim of bis heir, Sir Edward Stan
ley: and, in factthis eleventh Earl was
sixth cousin to the tenth. And it is
homewbat remarkable that, althoagt
the present Lord Derby is the fif tccnts
Earl, yet he Is not descended lineally
from any of tho first ten Earls, except,
of course, the first, the Constable of
England, who died in 1501.
The Dukedom of Somerset was con"
ferrcd in 1547 upon the Protector, Sir
Edward Seymour, with this peculiar
limitation that the heirs of his fcomi
marriage should succeed, and. failing
them, his heirs by his first wife. For
several generation the Dukedom re
mained in tho eccond family; and it
jnay have seemed to many righteous
retribution that, in 1750, when the sev
enth Duke died, there was no heir to
succeed, except among the descendants
of the Protector's first wife The head
of that branch, therefore. Sir Edward
Scjmour, sixth Uaronct (for the first
)uke's grandson hail been made a Uar
onct), !ccamc eighth Duke of Somerset,
being fifth cousin onco removed to the
seventh Duke.
Sir Plward Courtcnay was created
Earl of Devon in 1485; and his great
grandson Edward, after sundry attain
ders, was created Earl of Devon in
155U by Queen Mary, with remainder
to "heirs male general." Now this
Earl died in 15GG, aged thirty-nine, and
unmarried; and as there were no Cour
tenays left who were at all nearly re
lated to him, the Earldom was supposed
to be extinct, and was not claimed.
More than two centuries and a half
afterward, however, in 1831. it was
proved to the satisfaction of the House
of Lords that William, third Viscount
Courtcnay, was entitled to the Earldom
of Devon, as heir genoral of the Earl
created by Queen Mar, to whom his
relationship was that of sixth cousin
nine times removed! The nearest com
mon ancestor, Hugh do Courtcnay, sec
ond Earl of Devon, of a former cro
ation, had died in VMl, nearly two hun
dred years before tho first Earl of the
present creation. Thus it was decided
that tho Earldom, during tho 2C5 years
of non-claim, had beon, not extinct,
but dormant; and seven of the Cour
tcnays who lived and died in that inter
val aro reckoned now as righful heirs of
Devon. London tiocicly.
An Oil-Bubble Hunt.
A very few weeks ago all tho oil-region
journals were giving accounts in
bold head-lines of the oig oil wells
struck in Cherry (Jrovo, Warren Coun
ty, Pa. Tho great mastery, big C1C,
came in with a deluge of oil. It opened
a largo field, an 1 ina county that was
productive beforo of naught but ro 'ks
and timber. In quick succession to GIG
other largo flowing wells wero found,
and so great was their greasy outpour
ing that tankage could not be erected
fast enough to contain it- The pipe
lines were not able, with their immense
pumps, to keep pace with the How of
the new wells. Hillsides and streams
wero covered with petroleum, as it ran
to waste from tho overflowing tanks.
For a time it looked a? though every
hole that was bored would provo an oil
spouter. Tho eQcct upon the crude
market was at once manifested by a big
decline in petroleum. From tho seven
ties tho price dropped closo to the for
ties, anil the most sanguine bull trem
bled lest tho Warren field extended its
limits, as there was every reason to Lc
lievo it would, and connect tho lower
and upper oil fields in one continuous
belt If so, down tho market must go
to twenty-five cents or even lower.
There was a magical change. For
somo caufo not yet roado plain, tho
largest of these "Cherry Grovo wells
ceased to flow, and cannot bn induced
to do so again. Tho wells will not re
spond to a torpedo. Pulling up and
cleaning them out havo becu tried, but
without results. Tho probability is that
Cherry Grovo as a largo producing dis
trict is played out. Under this change
the oil market has rebounded to sixty
cents, with a fair prospect of its going
higher. The only thing that may dis
oouragc, advance is the wild-cat wells
hanging ovbr tho trade. One of them
is at Balltown, Forest Comity, and the
other Is the Shannon Well on the
Cooper tract, in tho samo county. As
those two wells are the largest in a
county similar to tho Cherry Grove dis
trict, and not many mites "distant, tho
oil men will suspect them until their
truo character is determined.
Never in the history of tho petro
leum trade has there been a district
which proved so productive at its start,
or collapsed so quickly. Neither has
there been one which "has resulted so
disastrously to tho producers, few if any
of them getting ovor the cost of putting
down their wells. From the manner in
which these wells started off it was be
lieved that all that was necessary to be-
conso wealthy was to secure a4eseia-
Cherry Grove and pat dowa a woll.
Tho xritBVnt nnnn nni -Oil Pv -
I change over thja frolic of these wells is
nm-iiu. ii mo gusacrs were
struck and tho market began to tumblo,
everything was; at a whifh heat The
brokers pushedand pulled each other
around the bull ring in their eagerness
to sell out the stuff, as they termed it,
at any price. As soon as the news
catae of tho lessened production of the
Cherry Grove gushers oxciteomnt again"
ran riot, and the eagerness to buy oil
was like uato the fever for selling' a few
months ago. It there is bo new field
struck in the face of tho played-out
Bradford, Richburg and. 'Butler dis
tricts, we may reasonably expect an ap
preciation in prices. If so our region
will boom Oil C Spccfor to AT Y.

in history as "the Wise."
When the great Prince Vladimir, Idl

After Olga for seven centuries no

In 1725, when Peter the Great died, his

How Pickles Arc Sorted and Sold.
Very few persons know how many
pickles are consumed in this o'ty and
vicinity. In the commercial world tho
word "picklo" means a small cucum
ber. They arc divided into three gen
eral kinds, according to their size, and
are denom'nated small, medium and
large. They arc sold by tho thousand,
and tho sizes are range'd according to
the number that can bo packed in a bar
rel. Barrels are sent to this market
holding from J500 to 0,000 cucumbers.
The size most in demand by pickle
houses at present ramjo from 80 to
1,400 to the barrel. Where the run
over 2,000 to the barrel, they are called
gherkins. Tho pickle-makers bought
too heavily of the gherkins last year,
xuidlienco they havo a largo quantity of
this size still "on hand. The medium
sized cucumber is very scarce and com
mands a high prkc.
The largest harvest of cucumbers in
this part of tho country is upon Long
Island. The average yield is 120,000
cucumbers to the acre. Somo of the
landjinder especially high cultivation
produces as high as 175,000 cueilnibcrs
to tho acre. Usually cucumbers aro
fold bv the large commission houses at
from $1 to $1. 10 a thousand. Recently
cucumbers have been so scarce that
they have been sold at $3 a thousand.
The average price, j-esterday for cucum-
uers m iiinre iois was irom 91.40 10
$2.25 a thousand. Tho drv weather
'ias heen the main cause of the present
short cucumber crop. It is estimated
by experts that the crop this year will
not bo over two-thirds of the usual
yield. In the country about Chicago,
Cincinnati and St. 'Louis, also, largo
quantities of cucumbers arc raised.
In consequence of the enormous con
sumption of cucumbers, an advance
nearly doubling the price at which they
are sold by the commission bouses,
must-have a marked effect upon the en
tire market One of the largest com
mission houses in this city stated to a
Tribune reporter the other day that few
persons had any idea of the immense
interests involved in the cucumber
trade. Over 300,000,000 cucumbers
were raised by the Long Island farm
ers. These wera sorted and shipped ia
barrels, either to the commission houses
or under contract to the salters. Over
81,000,000 a year is invested ia this in
dustry. The gherkins are chiefly sold to the
Southern market They also are em
ployed ia making chow-chow aad mus
tard pickle. The medium sizes, rang
ing irom. 800 to 1.400 to the barrel,
were most sought for and brought the
highest prices. It was estimated that
fully half of all this enormous quantitv
of cucumbers were sold by licensed
venders. Some of the farmers sort
their consign me nts before seeding them
to this aaarket The sorted caenmbers
sell better thaa the unassorted.
So important has the cucumber trade
been ia this city daring the past few
weeks, that some coatm'satoa houses
have aaadetttheir rak to telegraph tha
state of the aaarket avery aaoramg to
-tbetr easterners. Tan

Why He DMn't Explain.
Somo ci'ht or ten years ago. a silvcry
tongued chap who cla med to bo a fruit
tree agent swindled the farmers of this
county in a shame'ul manner, and ono
resident of Nankin was so mad about it
that he came to Detroit, searched tho
raic.nl out. and gave him a pounding on
tin street. After ho got through his
work he told tho follow that he would
lick him twice as bad if he ever put eyes
on him again, and it was a throat to be
remembered nnd nursed. About three
weeks ago tho Nankin man was travel
ing in Washtonaw County, and a h
journeyed along the highway he met a
tr.nolcr Whos-i closely resembled tho
fruit-tree swindler that he halted, and
called out:
" Here 3'ou arc asrain, you bold-faced
rascal!"
"Yes, I'm here," was tho calm re
ply. "Well, so'm I, and I'm going to lick
you until you can't holler! I said I'd
do it and I always keep my word.
Climb down here'"
Tho stranger "dumb" without a pro
test, shedding his coat as he struck the
ground, and a Fght bepn. In about
two minutes he had used up the farmer

The work which one may do, the rest

"There's an end to all fishin' for

mallv. ' Terch w:us jut bitin' good

but it's all up now for good l"
"Whypo?"
"See thcin thrca girls out there in a

lish just packsup and slip out"
"How do you account for that?"
"'Cause girls makes such a splashin'
and fuss and slam around o that even
a whale couldn't stand it. Hear 'em
now!"
Thcro is a good deal in the proposi
tion that girls "slam around" some
under the conditions nominated, and a
man who takes any interest in human
nature can hoard a great deal of infor
mation by watching three women get
intoasmall boat rirst, there i a eerie
of squeals, supplemented by an edition
of yells, closing with an abrupt dive and
then an effort to sit on the fame -cat,
ami prolonged falsetto inquiries as to
why the thing tips over so. To the av
erago woman tho center of gravitv is
always over in the next country when
she wants to get into a boat and tho
idea of equilibrium never enters into
her caicubit'on, until the keel pops up
above the surface to see what s going
oa inside. As for rowing, the girl of
the period regards it from a staoupo'nt
peculiar to herself, and inclines to the
opinion that the oar-blades were made
sharp because tho water is hard and
digging the order of the day.
" I claim that no woman can row a
boat"- continued the old man. " Von
sec that girl shove one oar in the water
while she holds the other in the air. and
abuses the other two for not steering
straight But thev get come up with."
he chuckled. "The other dav that

caught ono crab. The crab know'd
they was girls as soon as he got ia the
boat and he just opened his nippers
and them gals walked ashore. I ketched
their boat almut a mile below and that
crab was sitting up on the nfdhins
thwart winking at him elf for his luck
and enterprise." and the old man bent
his attention on his fish-hooks, chuck
ling audibly as the force of the reminis
cence struck him.
No. sir," continued tho old man.
glancing oat on tho river, " girls has no
business in a boat unless it' a palled up
out of the water. The other day a chap
went out with a couple of women after

they dug their ars into the water the

to the disaster beyond. "When they
