OPINIONS OF GREAT PAPERS ON IMPORTANT SUBJECTS
MISFIT NAMES.
HEN the great Shakspeare was in the throes
of writing his love lorn Romeo and Juliet he
demanded , to know "What's in a name" and
went on to some fatuitous remarks that a rose
by another appellation would smell just as
sweet.
Now that may be all right according to the
eductions of the immortal bard , but a name cuts a good
ted figure in the life of an Individual before he gets
through using it.
It is a pity , a great pity , that so few children npw-a-
flays are named appropriately. Of course it is impossible
ko Judge when a baby is named what kind of a man or

Tlicse misfit names are bad enough but they at least
toave uouie meaning , some force , and even if they do not
fit exactly they have the advantage of being the names

But it is this senseless fashion of perpetuating a fam

rampugc just now that Is the most absurd.
Tho Johns' and James' and Henrys' even the Earls'

one.

Every boy born Into the world Is entitled to a decent
name , one of which he will not be ashamed , either as a
ichoolljoy or a grownup. The old-fashioned ones ought to
be good enough for any boy , and it Is to be fervently

in England just now is what to do with the

to Australia and to Canada , where there is a greater
opportunity for unskilled labor. And at the same time
London is searching and
advertising for competent em-
ployai. In many lines there are not enough skilled men to
fill the jobs that are wnitng.

Wbxn Mrs. Hirain Porter had a sign
painted which bore the words , "Cotter
Brook Farm , " and advertlsedn-n three
Boston papers for. boarders , she knew
most r > f the trials which were likely to
beset licr path , for before her marriage
she had kept summer boarders in an
other town.
"Oo you have the same folks year
after year ? " asked one of her former
neighbors when Cotter Brook Farm
fcad been in operation for five years ,
"or tin they change so you keep having
now tote ? "
"it depends on what folks want , "
aaicl Mrs. Porter , decidedly. "If they
are riulisfied with a good , plain table ,
comfortable beds , all outdoors and a
mother's care , they keep right on com
ing ; If they aren't , they don't. "
"What do you mean by 'a moth-
er'a care ? ' " asked the old neighbor ,
doubtfully.
"t mean just that , " said Mrs. Porter ,
firuily. "They've all been younger
folks than I , or if they're older they're
kind , of childish In their judgment , of
course. If oue of my boarders gels a

hot flat outside.

put it to 'em that I'm not going to

they laugh and give in ; if they don't ,

"So with other things. Wet feet I

sitting over the stove in a shut-up
room I don't hold to for more than

young folks all beat out , I send 'em to

"There's another thing. When the
Bight mail conies , sometimes there'll

on the rocks. The unskilled man loses individuality. He
represents only so much muscle , and when he works his
employer knows him only by number. It is impossible that
he should provide for his future or for old age. AH his life

the poorhouse.
There never was a time when It was so essential to
teach the rising generation to do something well , to special

for the man who doesn't know , who has not learned , and
has only his uneducated muscle for sale , they mean
tragedy. You who have sons should remember that In

ON FOOD BEFOBMS.
HE housewife who wishes to change the
dietary of her household should go about it dip
lomatically. The fleshpots have a firm hold on
the modern Egyptians. Even the promised
land of health and success cannot keep them
from turning about unless you are mistress of
the fine art of finesse. First of all you should
learn to cook vegetable purees and soups. To cook vegeta
bles so they will appeal to palate and eye requires no mean
skill. Nothing Is more unappetizing than badly cooked ,
water-soaked vegetables. Begin by substituting a well-
made puree for the meat dish at the supper or luncheon
table. Try eggs instead of meat for breakfast. Reduce
the use of meat to once a day. Then once in a while have
eggs or fish or vegetables as tho principal dish at dinner.
It is a great mistake to cram any new theory down your
family's throat.
Give it to them a taste at a time , and they'll grow
enthusiastic. Change all at once and you'll arouse opposi
tion which will make change impossible.
Most people eat altogether too much meat. This induces
a hankering for stimulants. A well-known student of
sociological phenomena ventures the opinion that the In
creased use of vegetables and fruits will do more to pro
mote temperance than all the arguments of tho Prohibition
ists. Harper's Bazar.
NEIGHBORS SHOULD CALL.
HAVE made a discovery a great many wom
en refrain from being neighborly , which is
nothing more than courteous , because of their
Ignorance of etiquette. They are conscious of
their shortcomings , naturally sensitive and dis
inclined to place themselves at a disadvantage.
So they keep much to themselves and only
make social intercourse with those they have known long
enough to lay aside formality.
In cities , friendly neighborhoods are not common.
Apartment living is a foo to acquaintanceship because the
dwellers in these convenient homes are a shifting popula
tion. Then we are all prone to the weakness of wanting to
know something of our neighbors before we establish
friendly relations with them. Really , we ought not to
consider anything but the fact that they are human beings
who have settled in our vicinity. We should make the first
call that etiquette requires , and if we learn , later , of a rea
son for nipping the budding acquaintanceship , we can do it
with propriety. We have performed our duty , and In jus
tice It should be said that the nipping process is not often
required. Philadelphia Bulletin :
POLYGAMY AS IT IS.
Mormonlsm Flails Protection In Fact
Whole Truth Cannot Be Told.
The following incident is actually a
fact , though on the surface it appears
almost unbelievable , says Marian Bon-
sall in the Housekeeper. A certain
unmarried woman was ill and was
thought to be about to die. Her
friends , fearing for the fate of an un
married woman In the hereafter , went
hurriedly to a man of their acquaint
ance , a bachelor , requesting him to
be sealed to her immediately. He
consented , being willing to have her
for his wife hi the life to come. But
the unexpected happened , and the
young woman was restored to health.
The man to whom she had been sealed
continued to live as he had done , and
she lived at her home as a single
woman. Some time after , the young
woman married a man of her faith ,
and lives with him and her children
to-day. In the meantime the man died
to whom she had been sealed for eter
nity but not for time. He was n man
of considerable wealth , and on the
strength of the sealing , the woman ,
the wife for time of another man ,
sued for the former's property in the
Utah courts and got It
It is Impossible to grasp the full
Import of the whole Mormon situation.
Its unwholesoineness , its repulslveness
and its general degradation are its
very protection. The whole story can
not be told and Insinuation seems vul
gar. And what makes the situation so
intricate , so almost hopeless , Is that
individually the mass of the Mormon
people are so admirable , so sincere and
so earnest. Mormon women are as
womanly and as lovable as other wom
en. They look the same , act the same
and feel the same as other women.
And yet the women , who constitute
the only spirituality to be found in
all Mormonism , have not been taken
into consideration in their religion , ex
cept as they can assist in building up
the glory of their husbands.

CASES OF CHINESE THRIFT.
Celestial Empire a Poor Field for Ac-

"China would be a poor field for ac-

in order to collect their insurance.
"Up the river from Hongkong
there's a little settlement of English-
men. Just across the river is a grave
yard , inhabited by a few scrub birds
of the snipe family. They are very
poor shooting , but your Briton must
have sport of some kind , and shooting .
these birds Is the only sport in sight ,
"One day an Englishman let drive
at a snipe and hit a Chinaman who
had just bobbed out from behind a
a
tombstone. The charge of shot struck [
the coolie In his wrist , putting his p
hand out of business.
"Of course , the Chinaman made a
p
row. The Briton , wanting to do the
square thing , offered to pay the dam-
age. The coolie demanded $10. Tho
Englishman generously made it $15.
"There was never any good hunting Ci
in the graveyard after that. Whensi
ever an Englishman was seen ap
proaching it , u Chinamuu hid behind
every gravestone.
"With marvelous cleverness they'd j E
manage to get in range when the Brit
on fired. If one of them had the luck
to get two or three birdshot in his sys
tem , he would come out , make his roar
and collect.
"Of course , this drove away the
snipe ; but the coolies took to catching
birds , tying them by tho leg to grave
stones and hiding themselves in holes
from which they could rise and get
shot at the proper moment. The En
glishmen had to stop hunting. It was
too expensive.
"One of the pleasant and refined
Chinese tortures Is crushing the an
kle. There are coolies in Shanghai tlti
who keep a standing offer to submit ti
to this torture , for the benefit of tour tl
tlti
ists , at a rate of $5. ti
"I know of several cases where this
offer has been accepted. The coolie t
submitted without a howl , and smiled
when he collected the money. " Kan- ,

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Cure Heart
Pa IDS Dizzy Spells and
Weakness.
Easy to get. hard to gefe rid of ; thafc i
what most sufferers think of dyspepsia.
They are astonished when their stom tch
begins to trouble them serionsly.
They had been eating hurriedly and
irregularly for a long time , to be sure ,
but they supposed their stomacis quite
used to that.
Some people know that the strength
which the weak stomach needs , and for
the lack of which the whole body is suf
fering , can be found surely and quickly
in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. In hun
dreds of instances these pills have suc
ceeded where other remedies failed.
"My indigestion , " said Mr. J. B. Mil
ler , of Dayton , Va. , "came in the firs *
? lace from the fact thafc a few years ago
worked a great deal at night , and ate
at any odd hour whenever the chance
came , and always very hurriedly. One
day I found myself a victim of terrible
dyspepsia. It kept me miserable all the
time for several years.
" I always had a great deal of distress
after eating , and when I got ; np from my
sleep niy stomach would be so weak that
ife would hardly take any food. I had
very uncomfortable feelings abonfc my
heart , and was dizzy and , whenever I
stooped over and then straightened up ,
my eyes would be badly blurred.
"I read the statements of several per-
sons who had got rid of obstinate stom
ach troubles by using Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills. I bonghfc some and they
did me a world of good. They acted
promptly and did just what was claimed
for them. I have no more distress af
ter meals ; the bad feeling has gone from
the region of my heart ; the alarming
dizzy spells have disappeared , and I am
strong again. "

ATTRACTIVE BACK YARDa
Some Good Snzgestiona for Inexperi
enced Gardeners. !
The average town back yard presents
i number of difficult problems to the
'nexperienced gardener who aspires to
be the owner of a "vine and fig tree"
rf his own. As a rule , the tillable por
tions of the plot are narrow and are
hedged by a high board fence that on
jne side reaches a scorching tempera
ture daily in midsummer , while on the
other It Is in many cases destined to
perpetual shadow. A common cause of
failure to produce a pleasing effect in
the long , narrow yard is the planting
of too many hardy shrubs and vines ,
Bays the New York Tribune. They fill
the limited apace in proportions that
are unpleasing to the eye , and the foli
age seldom remains attractive through
the entire season.
A deutzia or two , which can be kept
trimmed In small clumplike bushes ,
and a hardy climbing rose for the rear
end of the fence are enough for the or
dinary space. A grapevine trained over
a trellis built above the kitchen win
dow * will furnish a welcome shade to
that apartment during the summer and
provide luscious fruit for the fall. Af
ter the frosts come the vine can be tied
back , so that it will not shut ou ? the
winter sunlight from the kitchen , and
In the following spring it may again be
spread over the frame.
, With a yard sixty-five or seventy feet
long or more it Is a good plan to shorten
the grass plot enough to allow for a
large ' square bed at the end farthest
from the house , which will be sur
rounded on all sides by a walk of the
usual width. A border bed eighteen
Inches or two feet wide should extend
around the three sides of the yard next
to the fence.
A profusion of vines to hide the fence
jompletely will furnish a refreshing
outlook for hot weather. For the sun-
oy side of the yard nasturtiums , morn-
Ing glories of all kinds , especially the
Japanese varieties , and both the red to
and the white variety of the scarlet
runner may be used. The latter bears

Birth of a Flower.
Years and years ago and ever so
many years before there lived far
away in a lovely country a youth who
was the most beautiful man in the
world. His name was Narcissus , and
he had a sister as beautiful as him
self , whom he loved very dearly. Nar
cissus often used to go hunting in the
woods with his sister. Each of them
knew that the other one was very
beautiful , but they did not know
the same about themselves. You see ,
they had no looking glasses in those
days at least only the mermaids had
them , and they never lent them to any
one else. One day the girl died , and
poor Narcissus was very unhappy , and
after that he had to go hunting by
himself. Once when he was thirsty
he came to a stream and was just
bending down to drink when he saw
his own face in the water. He had
never seen it before and thought it
was the face of his dear sister. So he
tried to catch hold of her , but could
not. When he had tried for a long
time he was so disappointed that he
killed himself. Then the fairies came
in the night to bury him , but they ;
only found a pretty white flower ,
which is still called narcissus.

Sun in the Poultry House.
If those who raise poultry would
realize that fowls that have had free
access to sunshine during seven , eight
or nine months In the year miss it
greatly during the months of confine
ment , they would do some changing
in their methods of house-building and
arrangement. Unfortunately many
writers are decrying the scratching
sheds , claiming that they are not suf
ficiently valuable to warrant their cost
and maintenance. Of course , if one
has a large poultry house , well lighted
and so arranged that all the sun pos
sible enters , then possibly the scratch-
Ing shed is superfluous. But how
many such houses are there the coun
try through ? One may have a very
small house proper , and by the aid
of the scratching shed raise a good
many fowls. But whatever the ar
rangement of the poultry quarters ,
plan so that they will have all the
sunlight possible , and you will see a
decided gam in the egg production.

"Poor Mary Emma has broken her

as she finished reading aletter from
her cousin , Mary Emma's husband.
"Now I'll sit down and write her this
very afternoon , and express my sym

to take her mind off herself. My hus

most any one else he knows. " This Is
what she wrote :
Dear Mary Emma Tour good nus-

to think my lot is cast in Boston. %
Of course , living in New York as

LOST EYESIGHT
Through Coffee
Some people question the statements
hat coffee hurts the delicate nerves of

housands prove the general statement
rne and physicians have records of
Teat numbers of cases that add to the
estlmony.
The following is from the Rockford ,

Dr. William Langhorst of Aurora
las been treating one of the queerest
ases of lost eyesight ever In history.
Cha patient is O. A. Leach of Beach
jounty , and in the last four months
je has doctored with all of the spe-
Jalists about the country and has at
ast returned home with the fact im-
iressed on his mind that his case is
ncurnble.
A portion of * the opti-c nerve has
wen ruined , rendering bis sight so lim
ited that he is unable to see anything
before him , but he can see plainly any
thing at the side of him. There have
been but few cases of , its kind before
and they have been caused by whiskey
or tobacco. Leach has never used
either , but has been a great coffee
