A WRITER'S NAME.

^THERT SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING IN $ .. IT, AFTER ALL.

Autliorx Exenuble to* Adopting Picudonym— No Poetrjr in "Longftllow"—"The MacsaUjr Flower* of Liter- ,«"» «tnr«"—"Carp," "GaUi," "Howard."

Sometimes a writer's name is so uncouth or so commonplace that it soema of itself unfitted fcr fame, and a pseudonym appears to be his only resource. It is hard to imagine a girl named Jenks making herself famous as a lyric poet, or a man named Meek becoming a world renowned novelist. The difficulty in such cases, however, are apt to be overestimated, and achievement of fame with such drawbacks, while it may be hard, is by no means impossible. We are apt to accept things as we find them, and to think them fitting because they were always to us as they are. Knowledge of the work & writer has done has a magical effect upon bis name, and just as the old lady approved Adam's judgment aiyl discrimination in calling the inhabitant of the pen "pig," "since 'pig' is snch an appropriate name for such a dirty, repulsive, disagreeable animal." so we are apt to approve the names that masters of the other pen possess, because we have always confused the name with the work it "inmo.

WHAT* HI A XAUX1 ,.

Probably there is not a refiued person in America to whom the name "Longfellow, for instance, does not, without consideration, suggest a poetic idea. We think beyond the name, and of the poetry of the writer and yet, "Longfellow,* when it is considered by itself, is not a poetic word, while its counterpart, "Shortfellow," is rather ridiculous. "Macaulay" seems, no doubt, to almost every one, a refined and stylish name, which would give any writer along start toward making for "himself a good reputation. The contemporaries of the historian, howover, did not find his name impressive, or Punch when he first began to writo would never have suggested that his essays were "the Macaulay flowers of literature." "Tennyson" is by_ no means so poetic a name as Whittier," but the fame of his work has made the English laureate seem the equal, if not the superior, of the New England poet in this respect. Not to multiply instances, such common names as Smith, Black, Green and Lamb, names so incongruous as Cable and Motley, and so uncouth as Keats and Piatt, have, with hosts of others •equally ineligible, been given ashore of immortality. When a roan named Stubbs can make his name famous as an historian and a •cholur, no writer need despair because his fate did not make him a DeQuincey, an Aidrich, or a Bryant, Instead of a Jones or a Jenkinsoa

The man makes the name rather than the name the man. Still a good name is always an advantage, and in choosing a signature the young writer must decide whether he •will oonquer fate with the name his sponsors gave him, or whether* he will choose a pseudonym that will put a Jenkins at once on a level with a Hawthorne of a Carlyle.

STICK TO IT ALWAYS.

When Once bo has chosen his name, however, be it his own by right of baptism, or a fictitious choice, he should stick to it always and forever. Some brains may be weighty enough to make more than one name immortal, but the trouble is generally of another kind. Writers who have habitually used more than one name have generally acknowledged their error after a time, and have devoted themselves to one signature, dropping all others. A well known Washington newspaper correspondent a year or more ago was writing to The Cleveland Leader a series of widely quoted letters, which ho was signing "Carp another series of letters he was signing "P. G. C. and a aeries of articles for a newspaper syndicate Its was signing with his full name, "Frank G. Carpenter." Ono day it dawned upon him he was doing the work of three men, making a reputation for three writers, and getting %he credit for only one-third of the work he did. From that day on he has wisely signed everything ho has written with his real name in full.

Sometimes there is an advantage to a newspaper writer in signing his articles simply with his last name. His signature then has to the uninitiated the appearance of a good

eudonym, while to those who are better it recalls the personality of the writer. "Howard" pursues this plan. •*Carleton" and "Perloy," two other well known newspaper writers, chose their middle tuiraes. "Gath" modified hilt initials into a signature that his letters have made famous. In each case there is something about the signature that suggests the writer himself, mod

he gets the advantage of a pseudonym, and of his own signature at the same time.— William H. Hills in The Writer.

Industrial Innaranee.

In tbeee days life insurance of all kinds has become so common that the poorest and most ignorant laborer would laugh at the ftfru of a policy being a forerunner of ill luck, just as the modern Jack Tar laughs at the idea of misfortune following a voyage commenced on a Friday. Indeed, the laborer now has insurance brought to his own door, but its solicitors first and its collectors afterward follow him to his factory and to his shop, ready to insure not only himself, but his wife, his babe in the cradle, his girls in cfcort clothes, his boys to knickerbockers and •'his sisters and his cousins and his aunts." This is "industrial insurance," ready to insure any one from the puling infant to the hoary headed grandfather of TO, at a weekly rate of from five cents upward.

There are three companies only in New York city that tranact what is known as Industrial insurance barinm, They are all conducted upon the same principle of grantbag insurance upon the lives of intents, children and adults, at weekly premiums of from five to fifty cents, being for a yodng roan of SI insurance of 993 at death for five cents a week, or |880 for fifty cents a week.—New York Pre#*.

THE CURIOSITY SHOP.

The

MBe«t

Man" at Weddtnge—How Casae He to Bet

The custom of having a best man is one of some antiquity just how old we cannot say. It is a survival, not of the fittest. It is said that in an old church in Gothland, in Sweden, a pile of lances is preserved. Each ot the lances is fitted tohold a torch, and it it said the weapons were used at one time to give light and protection to marriage parties on the way to church, the ceremony taking place at night, as a precaution against the bride being taken away by some Lochinvar who claimed abetter right to her than the duly recognized suitor. A recent writer, describing a marriage in Khurdistan, says he saw a young man carrying off his bride surrounded by a body guard of some twenty or thirty men. These men were supposed to be protecting the happy couple from a party of young women, who hurled pieces of earth and taxnboos at the procession and mads show of rescuing the bride. As soon, however, as the bridegroom reached his own village with his charge the assailants ran henna, screaming and laughing. Among ourselves the term "best man" is said to be a survival of the time when the bridegroom had to get strong bands to aid him in securing the object of his affections. There is probably, also, a survival of the assaults that were then made on marriage parties in the showers of rice android slippers bestowed so freely on the newly wedded. ...

The Height of Waves.

It is a very common phrase to speak of ths waves, during a storm, as running mountains high but this really means nothing. Accurate measurements, made by Scoresby, proved that during storms, waves in the Atlantic rarely exceed 43 feet from hollow to crest, the distance between the crests being 560 feet, and their speed 321-2 miles an hour, More recent observations in the Atlantic give from 44 to 48 feet as the highest measured waves but such heights are rarely reached, and, indeed, waves exceeding SO feet are very seldom encountered. The monsoon waves at Kurrachee breakwater works were found to dash over the wall to the depth of 13 feet, or about 40 feet above mean sea level. The greatest height of waves on the British coast were those observed in Wick bay—so famous for the exceptionally heavy seas which roll into it—being 871-2 to 40 feet. Green seas to the depth of 25 feet poured over the parapet of tho breakwater at intervals of from seven to ten minutes, each wave, it was estimated, being amass of 40,000 tons of water, and this continuously for three days and nights. During severe storms the waves used to rise high above the top of Bmeaton's Eddystone tower, while at the Bell Rock the seas, with easterly storms, envelop the tower from base to balcony—a height of 400 feet.

The Tide Turned

On March 6,1822, a great gale of extreme violence blew on the River Thames. Coming from the southwest its effect was that the entrance of the tide was interrupted for several hours. The time of flood should have been about 1 o'clock but at 10 in the morning the tide was still ebbing with great rapidity at London bridge, In consequence of this thf water sank so in the river that it was ren dered fordable at several places. Many persons, indeed, were seen walking across, and at tho bed was exposed, in large tracts, valuable articles which had lain there a great lbngtb of time were picked up. This was the case a* far out as Gravesend. Tho water had not been known to be so low for many years by several feet Ships were seen aground in all parts of the river below London bridge. About 12 o'clock the tide began to return, and with a rapidity proportioned to the check it had experienced, the wind having acted as a temporary dam to its progress. Such was the force of the current that barges and small craft in great numbers were driven against each other, and many of them sunk or were otherwise much injured. The time of high water did not take place till after 8 o'clock, Instead of 1 o'clock. We have no account of damage done on the occasion in the cit^ of London.

LOSSES OF FREIGHT.

J.**- J.J'.'

CLAIMS THAT ARE MADE AGAiNST A RAILROAD COMPANY.

A Ckat in the Odds and Ends Department—Ways of tbe Professional Swindler—Various fraudulent Methods- Lost jftreight Sold at Auction. "We have, all the time, a large amount of gfcuff which accumulates on our hands," said the "lost baggage" agent of one of the railroads to a reporter "but most of the property left on our cars by accident is sure to be quickly called for if it has any particular value." "Any trouble in identifying applicants as proper owners of the baggage claimed!" "Not particularly. Our most frequent trouble is the i&justment of false claims. We can tell by a person's manna'whether the is a just one or not. Take the professional swindler, for instance. Besides having a brusque manner, his claim is made in an indefinite way as to number of check, style of package and the contents thereof. The true claimant—the person who has really lost something—has a respectful and anxious bearing. He invariably gives an accurate description pf the lost parcel, and is" very slow with threats of suit to recover dam-

"I suppose that overshoes and umbrellas are the articles most frequently left in cars?" "No more frequent than small parcels of clothing, shawls and small valises, hut, as I say, these are

always quickly claimed. It is

with fraudulent claims for lost baggage that w$ have tho most experience." FRAUDULENT CLAIMS.. "What are the fraudulent methods!" "Most numerous, and some of them, most ridiculous. Now here's an old claim which, while not fraudulent, is worthless and most bull headed. Several weeks since a barrel of whisky aud a case of canned goods were shipped to a grocer in the interior of the state. About the time of the shipment the grooer died. Immediately, his entire stock was taken by a wholesale grocer who had a chattel mortgage thereon, and so without leaving a family or any property, he was buried. There was no estate and accordingly no executor. Meanwhile the goods shipped over our road lay in the freight house, there being no one to deliver them to. I notified the shipper of the situation and he replies by saying that our company must keep the goods and that he will hold us responsible therefor. "I had a traveling man try to get $85 out of us for damage done to a pair of very rare and fine window curtains. Damage done, as he claimed, by snow melting through his sample case, which had been carelessly dumped in a snow bank by one of our jiaggagemen, and so staining the curtains.1^ "Had the sample case been so dumped^ "Possibly. At least we didn't disputCThat feature of the claim. All we asked was that he present a receipt from his employers' showing that he had paid them, as he claimed, the |85 for damage done, and which he had to make good to his firm. He failed to produce the receipt, and so, of his own volition, the case was dropped. "Another case came from a man who put in a elkim for $5 for new castings and freight thereon, and (2.50 for labor in putting them into a stove shipped over our road and broken while in transit/J[ investigated the case and found that jr'tf ld been broken out of the stove andifg-:mi^an had, instead of getting nCiC

a village blackflftfth

Tthe old leg back in its

place. No n&ftu£yting had been bought, no freight had been paid, and the entire cost to him had been less than $2, Yet he claimed |7.50 from us. "We had another case where one of our agents delivered some freight with an expense bill calling for eleven cases of goods. But ten cases'showed up,r and the parties to whom the goods were delivered, while they seemed surprised at the deficiency, at once explained that the missing case contained books, a silk dress aud more books.' That was their very indefinite inventory, and ithey stuck to it quite firmly. Investigation snowed that but ten cases had been shipped, that our agent had made a mistake on his way bill and so on the expense bill, and finally that the people at last confessed that they hadn't lost so much as a tin spoon of their household goods shipped."

SOLD AT AUCTIOir.

"What beoomes of, 'lost freight' never claimed!" We sell it at auction. It seldom has any value except to the rag and junk dealers. Of course we sell packages according to the way in which they are billed. We cannot tell as to their value. Once in awhile a purchaser gets nicely taken in. I recollect at one of our sales we got $13 for a largo crate billed 'crockery.' A well known physician was tbe purchaser, and when the crate was opened it was found to contain a lot of plaster of paris images, such as Italians peddle about the streets." "Worth $5, perhaps, to one of those peddlers

Possibly, but not worth five cents to the doctor. Once in a while, however, a good deal may be made. I recollect we sold a consignment billed 'two boxes and one barrel of dust.' It brought $1.50, and when opened the barrel contained Paris green and the boxes held two down packages of a patent insect powder. I understood that the purchaser sold tbe lot to a wholesale druggist for $*l Another box billed as 'one box of sundries* sold for $2, and when opened by an expreesman who bought them the 'sundries' were found to consist of a very complete outfit of cutlery samples—fifteen or twenty pocket knives, a doaeu rasors, several pairs of shears and scissors, two or three carving sets and a variety of case knives. The name of the manufacturers was, of coarse, found on tbe goods and tbe axpissimau, by correspondence, returned tbe goods to the manufacturers and received therefor a $25 check."

Does the income from the tale of unclaimed property come near meeting the cost of tracing up lost freight "No, but in tho avoidance of well based by the exercise of greater care in handling freight and in the exposure of fraudulent claims, the system itself more than pays. Now look here."

Jfust then a brakeman from a train which had |ost arrived entered the "lost freight" office bearing in his arms an old umbrella, worth perhaps fifty cents, and a good willow basket, In which wsa a badly mtosed lunch, a button hook and a pair of soiled caflfe. "That's tbe way it goes," said the agent.

Now it is probable that somebody will call for this basket to-morrow or next day, but the umbrella is a fixture until sold set aoctfon."—Detroit Free Press.

The Reason Why

Ayer's Pills are so popular is, that while always reliable as a cathartic medicine, they never leave any ill effects. This is because they are purely vegetable, and entirely free from calomel or any other dangerous drug. In all cases, therefore, whether the patient be old or young, they may be confidently administered.

In the Southern and Western States, where derangements of the liver are so general, Ayer's mis have proved an in* estimable blessing. D. W. Balne, New Berne, N. C., writes:

I suffered along time with stomach and liver troubles. I tried various remedies, but received no lieneflt until I commenced taking Ayer's Pills. These pills benefited me at once. I took them regularly for a few months, and my health was completely restored."

Throughout New England, next to lung diseases, Stomach and Bowel Oomplaiats are the most prevalent.

i: Dyspepsia

and Constipation are almost universal. Mr. Gallacher, a practical chemist, of Roxbury, Man., who was long troubled it a it "A friend induced me to try Ayer's Pills, and, after taking one box without much benefit, I was disposed to quit fbeitt but he urged perseverance, and, before I had finished the second box, I began to experience relief. I continued taking them, at intervals, an til I had used eleven boxes. Suffice it to say, that I am now a well man, and grateful to your chemistry, which outstrips mine."

The head and stotnsch ire always in sympathy hence the cause of moat of those distressing headaches, to which so many, especially women, are subject, rriet A. Marble, of Pt Mrs. Harriet ... sie, X. V-, writes that for years she was a martyr to headache, and never found anything to give her more than temporary relief, until she began takirg Ayer's Pills, since which she has been Is the enjoyment of perfect health#
