be the establishment of repiubli

Hoboken is a New York port,
Skagway is au Alaskan port. But
there jv-as a great similarity be
tween the two great ports this
morclng, that is in point of ship
to image, for there were no less
than five ships in this harbor when
the aright sun took ai slant at the
White Paaa dock.
The Redondo, the Prince John,
'he Princess Sophia, the City of
Sea^'Ie and the gas launch. BLida,
were all laying alongside the
dock, and all wer« busily engaged,
iu discharging their freight.
The st«amar Jefferson is due to
arrive this afternoon at three
o'clock.
The Prince John go' away for

Princess Sophia will sail to
night at 7 o'clock and the City of

the question of building; oabdns

the protection of travelers who are
j urneying from one place to an
other iu 'tie winter season. Instanc

From Emeric to Artiarioa.
Th® transformations that take ptfico
In a name as It passes through differ
ent languages can only be accounted
for by carelessness in tn*ismlssion.
One would scarcely expect tllb name of
Emeric, the name of a pious Hun
garian prince of the eleventh century,
who was made a saint, to take the
form of Amerigo iu Italian and of
Amory aud Emery hi English. The
name in German, but little changed
from the original, is Emmerich. This
obscure Hungarian saint has l>een a
person of cotiseiiueiice in this world,
for from his '^uie has couife that of
this great coun.itut. In the fifteenth
century, in the Italian form of Ameri
go, it was bestowed upon an Italian
navigator suruauicd Vesimcci, and this
continent, by a si ill further mutilation
of the name, caine to be known as
America. When King Stephen of Ilun
gary was choosing a name for his son
he could scarcely have imagined that
the name chosen was to be the parent
of the word Amor! a aud that poor old
Christopher Columbus was thereby to
be despoiled of a recognition that is
far from being compensated for by the
term Columbia.—Indianapolis News.
Both Were Envious.
It was iu Cleveland, ami the day
was but. Tlit» Mastodons had Just fin
ished their parade, and Charles Froh
man. perspiring and wearing the ab
horred silk bat. entered the box office
of the opera house on Cleveland ave
nue. Sitting in the treasurer's Beat he
saw a sturdy lad fingering a pile of
sliver dollars, lie slipped them In and
out with amazing dexterity. Hearing
a noise, he looked up and beheld young
Froh man with the tile tilted back on
his head. The boys' eyes met. Into
each came a wistful look.
"I wish I hud that silk hat of yours,"
said the boy at the window.
•"1 wish 1 could do what you are do
ing with that money," was the re
spouse of the envied one.
Such was the meeting of two men
Who afterward became dominant fig
ures ill the theatrical world. The boy
with the dollars was A. L. Krlanger.

Man."
Milkmaids In London.
At one time it was a common thing
to see milkmaids hi Fleet street. Lon
don milkmaids of past days were
usually strongly built Irish or Welsh
girls, mostly Welsh, but bow long ago
I it is since one ym!clod in Fleet street
It Is ditfi ult to say. Vet only a few
years ago a milkmaid actually prac
ticed her calling in the open in centra!
London. Two cows were attached to
the "Milk fair" hi St. James' park,
near Spring gardens, and a tumblerful
of milk "fresh from the cow" was a
popular bevernire. The "fair," which
was held by a family descended from
the original holders of :,n old privilege
granted by royalty, was aholisheji by
order of the ufli. e of works.—London
Chronicle.
Not Drastic.
Of the unconscious humor of wit
nesses the following not a hail ex
ample:
Magistrate I understand, then, that
after he.'-l.iing the candidate the de
fendant luvauic v -y violent and abu
sive?
Constable—Yes. sir.
"And so." eoittimied the magistrate,
"you used drastic measures to remove
him?"
Constable—Xo, sir: 1 used my club.
Creased Ribbons.
Crushed ribbons should not be iron
ed: it makes them shiny. Dampen
them and tlx n fold them smoothly ami
tightly around a rolling pin or empty
bottle. This will remove slight creases.
There is nothing for verj' bad creases
but to iron them.
The Difference In Dogs.
You eau keep a real line dog in food
at an expense of about $10 a month,
while a real sorry d«>^ can get out and
make a living for himself. Fort Worth
Star-Telegram.
No initiative Wanted.

my boy."
"Maybe so, dad. but just at present
she's giving me the laugh."—Detroit

PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT.
Hot Applications For Pain.
Pniii and a tight feeling iu the
chest are preaily relieved by an
«l>plication of turpentine—spirits
of turpentine a feu- drops sprin
kled on a pirn1 >>f hot flannel
which has been wrung out of
hot water. It i< dilfh ult. how
ever. to wring thinnei out of
boiliinr water without scalding
the fingers. The best plan,
therefore, is t-> hold the flannel
by the comer. Jruiu for an in
stant. then put it In a towel
lengthwise. Take ea,-h end of
the towel in the hands and
twist in opposite direc tions. This
will wring the flannel almost
dry. yet leave ii very warm.
The turpentine application is
also an excellent reaierty for pain
in the abdomen, especially the
colicky kind of pain caused by
catching cold.
