Hearn went back to the office and sat down and wfote two columns of a story describing his’sensations and the gloves of the view he had obtained from t} -Steeple top. Such a glowing description of a city seen from a great height has never been read, before nor since. The most interesting thing about it was the fact that Hearn was so near-sighted he could not see five feet beyond the tip of his nose. THE ORIGIN OF DREYFUS. How the Name Has Been Changed Through Persecutions of ” the Jews. The curions origin of the name “Dreyfus,” which is so widely -extended amBng the Jews of France, Germany and Switzerland is interesting just at this time, says the London News. ‘It arose in Elsass in the form-of*Préevus.” Its present form is due to a strange popular misunderstanding. In the year 1555, when.the persecution of the Jews took a fieW staft in nearly all the states of Germany; the elector palatine, Johann Tf,; aiid his neighbor, the archbishop élector, Johann of Triér, agreed to expel all the Jews from: their do+ minions. The Jewish fugitives from TrieF Sought 2 new -home, for the most part in Elsass. The Jews of that time, faithful to their ancient customs; had not adopted the use of hereditary surnames, which had been common among their Christian: neighbors in Germany for more than two centuries,» Hence the municipal and communal authorities throughout Elsass entéred the names of one and all the Hebrew immigrants as “‘Treviranus”’.(that is “the man, from Trier,” the Latin Treviri). The “Ty’ of the official scribe was altered in the popular dialect to the hard “D,” and theofficial abrbeviation “*Trevus” in the local registers became “Dreyfus.” Thus. every Jewish exile from Trier had toaccept, nolens volens, the surname of Dreyfus. There is no ground whatever for the various ingenious and fanciful derivations of the name from “Three Foot” (Drei Fuss), “Tripod.” AS MANY LIVES AS A CAT. A Queer Little Story That Is Told of a Foreign Diplomat and Ameriean Women. , These are the days of exaggerated speech, when simile runs into hyperbole. In illustration a queer little story is going the rounds which may well be taken to heart by those concerned. A lately-arrived diplomat who has been enjoying the summer at one of the most fashionable watering places had an American friend as his guest. During some ccnaversation concerning the country the diplomat, in reply to a question as to what impressed him most, replied: “The most noticeable thing which has struck my foreign mind is, according to their own testimony, the extreme delicacy and physical weakness of the American women, young and old. There is hardly an hour that I do not hear some of them proclaim that they are dying. They die of the heat, they die of the cold; they die of laughter and they die of grief. And then, again, I have heard the expression: ‘TI just expired with surprise.’ Of course this last I know to be a joke. But it certainly is curious to note the extent to which American womanhood is drifting to the grave, if the statistics of their own proclamations of the facts are reliable. It is really wonderful,” So solemn was the horrified diplomat that his auditor is at a loss to know whether he was serious or not. His name is withheld because on nothing are diplomats so sensitive as to be published in criticism of the fair sex. Men’s Names for Women, In some parts of the island of SaMoa men’s names are common among the women, for, if a baby girl is born immediately after the death of a brother, it is supposed that the spirit has simply been transferred from one child to the other, and the newcomer is condemned to take the same baptismal name. -UNION MARKET, COLLEY BROS., == Prop’s.

In illustration a queer little story is going the rounds which may well be taken to heart by those concerned. A lately-arrived diplomat who has been enjoying the summer at one of the most fashionable watering places had an American friend as his guest. During some ccnaversation concerning the country the diplomat, in reply to a question as to what impressed him most, replied: “The most noticeable thing which has struck my foreign mind is, according to their own testimony, the extreme delicacy and physical weakness of the American women, young and old. There is hardly an hour that I do not hear some of them proclaim that they are dying. They die of the heat, they die of the cold; they die of laughter and they die of grief. And then, again, I have heard the expression: ‘TI just expired with surprise.’ Of course this last I know to be a joke. But it certainly is curious to note the extent to which American womanhood is drifting to the grave, if the statistics of their own proclamations of the facts are reliable. It is really wonderful,” So solemn was the

horrified diplomat that his auditor is at a loss to know whether he was serious or not. His name is withheld because on nothing are diplomats so sensitive as to be published in criticism of the fair sex. Men’s Names for Women, In some parts of the island of SaMoa men’s names are common among the women, for, if a baby girl is born immediately after the death of a brother, it is supposed that the spirit has simply been transferred from one child to the other, and the newcomer is condemned to take the same baptismal name. -UNION MARKET, COLLEY BROS., == Prop’s.
