Lirst National Bank, Grand Rapids, Minn. Transacts a General Banking Business. irish Village ot Baitimore. Baltimore, in Maryland, gets its name from a small and unostentations fishing village in Ireland. The word Baltimore signifies the ‘village that grew up about the big house” and the derivation is plain’ when one sees the ivy-covered ruins of the very remark: ab'e’ big house that was once the strorshold of the O’Driscolls. It is situated upon an imposing height, a sentinel over the mumerous little dwellings that have sprung up and in- ereased in the vicinity of its wrecked and deserted Hfe. From the village of Beatiixnore enormous catches of mack- ere] are’ sent to America. Monarch Discovered. Gentian. Gentius, king of Hlyricum, the east- ern boundary of the Adriatic, was taken prisoner by the Romans about a century and a hali before the Chris- tian era for encouraging pirates, and died in custody. He discovered that a certain plant was a very good tonic, and that plant has ever since been called Gentiani, after him. This plant is generally supposed to have been the iall, coarse alpine, common in mountainous districts in central En- rope, and known to botanists as a lutea, a preparation of which is still in high repute as a medicine. Reading the Milestones. I stopped to read the milestone here, A laggard school-boy, long ago: I came not far—my home was near— But ah, how far I longed to go? Behold a number and a name, A finger. westward, cut in stone; The vision of a city came, Across the dust and distance shown. Arcund me lay the farms asleep In hazes of autumnal air, Al! sounds that quiet "loves to keep ‘Were heard, and heard not, everywhere Lread the milestone, day by day: I yearn to cross the barren bound, ‘To know the golden Far-away. Yo walk the new Enchanted Ground! ohn dames Pratt. About Certain Words. There is often a hint of something approaching to an ancient kind of slang in various dignified words in the English language. So respectable s. term as “perspicuity,” for instance, means that a thing can be “seen through” easily. The word “apoca- lypse” means “lifting off the cover,” or, in other words, the revelation of whatever good or bad things may be concealed in a chest of secrets like Pandora’s box, possibly, or mayb enly in the lunch basket of some old Greek workingman. Baby’s Quaint Idea. When Bay Alice first saw the cow with a beli around its neck, she thought it so funny that nothing could induce her to leave the spot. She stood watching the cow until it slowly walked away! Then,.-when the bell began to’ ring,- she turned delightedly to her mother, exclaiming: “Oh, mama, does the cow ring the bell when she wants the calf to come to supper?” —Little Lreniele: Example ef tncredulity Met With by | Explorers. Referrimg to the incredulity and bitter attacks which Henry m. Stan- ley and other explorers had to meet, A. 4 MovunteneyJephson writes in Scribner’s Magazine: “I remember one evening im Africa when we were talking together over the camp fire, his telling me, laughingly, about a certain prominent personage who was well known for his,pomposity and self- importance. He said: ‘When I re turned from finding Livingstone Mr. X. distrusted me and only offered me one finger of his hand to shake. After my return from“~my second expedition, when I sailed dowa the Kongo, he gave me two fingers. When I had founded the Kongo Free State for the king of the Belgiams and returned to England 1 got three fingers; but it took me years before | got his whole hand,” This seems to me typically British, and 1 merely quote this little stery to vindieate the grudging recog- nition which has been given to most ot the great explérers by those ‘arm- chair geographers’ who stay at home. Livingstone suffered trom -his same att&tude of incredulity and returned to the interior of Africa, where he met his death, because he could rot bear to face the unbelievers in London un- til he’ had solved the mystery of the great Lualaba river.” FAKE TOOTH WAS VALUABLE. Enabled Missionary to Gain Influence Over Savage Tribe. A well-known Church of England missionary among tke aborigines of Queensland, Australia, gained great influence over a certain tribe in a very peculiar manner. This tribe had the queer eustom of having the front tooth of the upper jaw knocked out. The missionary, by accident, had lost this same tooth and replaced it by a false one. Wher he got talking with the aborigines, he would pull it out, point to the hollow place, and say, “Me, brother, belong to you!” F In this way he gained the complcte confidence of the tribe, converte every member of it to Christianity, and introduced as much civilization as they were capable of assimilating. The Lord Is My Shepherd. PSALM XXUI. The Lor@ my pasture shall prepare, And feed me with a shepherd's care; His presence shall. my wants supply, And guard me with a watchful eye; My noonday walks He shall attend, And all my midnight hours defend. When in the sultry glebe I faint. Or on the thirsty mountains pant, To fertile vales and dewy meads. My weary, wandering, steps He leds, Where peaceful rivers soft and slow Amid the verdant landscape flow. Though in the paths of death I tread, With gloomy horrors overspread, My steadfast heart shall fear no fll: For Thou. O Lord, art with me still; Thy friendly crook shall give me aid, And gttide me through the dreadful shade Though in a bare and rugged way, Through devious, lonely wilds I stray, Thy bounty shall my pains begulle; The barren wilderness shall smile, ‘With sudden greens and herbage crown- ed, And streams shall murmur all around. —Addison, German Betrothal Customs. When a maiden is betrothed in Ger- many she is called “bride” by her sweetheart, who addresses her thus until it becomes time to call her “wife.” Immediately upon betrotha! the lovers exchange rings, which, i the course of trie love runs smootb, are to be worn ever afterward until death parts them. The woman wears her betrothal ring on the third fnzer of her left hand until she is married, and then it is transferred to the third finger of her right hand. The hus- band contintes to wear the ring just as the wife wore hers when she was a “bride,” so that one can easily tell at a glance if a man be er be not mort- gaged as to his affections. . Memorials to Americans. Many American boys and girls visit Europe nowadays, but perhaps few even of these fortunate young folk are aware that the greatest of Eng- lish cities coutains memorials to five distinguished Americans—a President, a patriot, a poet, a preacher, and a philanthropist. These five great men are Abraham Lincoln, James Russell Lowell, Henry Wadsworth Longfel- low, Matthew Simpson «nd George Peabody—five names written high in the Hall of Fame, names immortal in life and letters, names forever illus- trious in character and achievement, —St. Nicholas. Bird Sentry on Guard. I was interested on Sunday in wateh- ing the movements of birds. Crumb- ling a biscuit, | threw it out, sat down on the piazza and awaited results. It was not long after the birds came and helped themselves before a cat appeared. Then a warning note was sounded by a bird, evidently on guard on the top of the piazza, where he could survey the whole scene. At his warning every bird disappeared and ‘remained in hiding until a reassuring mote was heard from the little sentry posted on the piazza roof.—Boston Record. About Books, But for the art of reading there meyer would have been any -books. The wide diffusion of that art ae. counts for the immense increase in the quantity of books. The lack of direction, cultivation and discriming- tion of that art accounts for the de- cline in the quality of books. Like readers, like authors. The great need of the world of letters is the pramo- tion of the habit of reading with judg- ment and the love of reading with taste—Herry van Pyke. ; Lt: Se Lp Lp Sp pp pop pelo po hp pep tp poly eel pel oh SOOO GG Dry Goods Economy is half the battle of like.
