COLLECTIVE NAMES. Old Eukllmli Terms For Group* of l*er»<>UM and AniiuHlw. In a book on British sports, written in tlie eighteenth century. Joseph Strutt gives the old English terms for groups of various beasts as follows: “When beasts went together In companies there was said to be a pride of lions, a lepe of leopards, a herd of harts, of bucks and of all sorts of deer; a bevy of roes, a sloth of boars, a lownder of wild swine, a drift of tame swine, a route of wolves, a barras of horses, a rag of colts, a stud of mares, a pace of asses, a baren of mules, a team of oxen, a drove of kine, a flock of sheep, a tribe of goats, a skulk of foxes, a cete of badgers, a richness of martins, a fesynes of ferrets, a huske or a down of hares, a nest of rabbits, a clowder of cats and a kyndall of young cats, a shrewdness of apes and a labor of moles.” Similar terms were applied to gatherings of human beings. Strutt gives them as follows: “A state of princes, a skulk of thieves, an observance of hermits, a lying of pardoners, a subtiltie of sergeants, an untruth of sompners, a multiplying of husbands, a safeguard of porters, a stalk of foresters, a blast of hunters, a draft of butlers, a temperance of cooks, a melody of harpers, a poverty of pipers, a drunkenshlp of cobblers, a disguising of tayiors, a ■wandering of tinkers, a malpertness of pedlars, a fighting of beggars, a rayful—that is, a netful—of knaves, a blush of boys, a bevy of la lies, a nonpatience of wives, a yagle of women, a gagle of geese.” In the old days the word “leash” was applied to three greyhounds, while two were “a brace.” On the other hand, two spaniels or harriers were called “a couple.” A number of hounds went under the term of “a mute of hounds,” while It was correct to speak of “a kennel of raches. a litter of whelps and a cowardice of curs.” WHY THEY ARE POOR. Their ideas are larger than their purses. They are easy dupes of schemers and promoters. They reverse the maxim, “Duty before pleasure.” They have too many and too expen sive amusements. They do not think it worth while to save nickels and dimes. They have risked a competence in trying to get rich quickly They allow friends to impose upon their good nature and generosity. Thej try to do what others expect of them, not what they can ifford. They prefer to incur debt rather than J to do work which they consider beneath them. They think it will be time enough to begin to save for a rainy day when the rainy day comes. They risk all their eggs in one basket when they are not in a position u watch or control it.—Success. Wanted a Sure Thing. An English professor of mineralogy tells a good story about a certain big English commercial magnate. He says that the great merchant in question came to him to consult about the instruction of the hopeful son and heir who was some day to run the vast business interests from which “the pater” had made bis wealth. “But mind you,” said he, “I don't want him to learn about strata or dips or faults or upheavals or denudations, and I don't want him to fill his mind with fossils or stuff about crystals. What I want him to learn is how to find gold and silver and copper in paying quantities, sir—in paying quantities.” $4.50 round trip to St. Louis.

MOUNTAINS IN JAPAN. They Rival In Panormna the Scenery of Switzerland. On every side of us, from our feet to the golden distance far away, the world stretched mountains, peak upon ' peak as thick as junks in a Chinese harbor and range beyond range inexI haustible. No sounds of mortal life | came up inside the rock, while the river, gentian blue, wound silent In j transparent pools below. The panoi rama in Japan on a splendid summer day is impossible to describe to an i English reader who has not been in ■ the east, for such a one will read be- ' tween the lines the local color in which he was bred instead of the wholly different atmosphere that heightens the ■ charm of the picture there, the brili tlant luminous air which invests our eye with telescopic power and brings I the whole landscape to our feet, while 1 a soft suspicion of silky haze seems i to float a halo round each foliage hidi den hill. Switzerland, too, is a moun- | tain world, but small compared with this, the entire content from Innsj bruck to Geneva only one-fourth the length of this single island of Japan, a thousand miles of continuous roI mance. And the quality of the sunj shine is what separates by a very wide i gulf a summer's day in these latitudes | from one in more northerly Europe.— Ernest Foxwell in Cornbill. BUSINESS MENTION.
