At the tour Lincoln-Kansas City games the crowd numbered over 14,000. One of tho days was cold und damp and another cloudy. ‘The weather in the west has been perfectly terrible, The oldest inhabitant can hardly remember to have seen two successivo suri- shiny days.

So Raymond and Meekin are on tho black- list! When the American association comes back t the fold, the players will not find this avery funny matter.

When The 1ll-Used died Juno 4, one of the highest bred horses in America passed away. His live of aucestry was the bestin horso- dom. He was a fine racehorse, but he was s0 unlucky that his wisfortunes were com- memorated in his name. As the sire of Badge, Duchess, Fides, Laay Margaret, Jack of Hearts, His Highness, Forester, Jacobuo and many others of brilliant speed, he won a high place among the thoroughbrad sires of America. Loantaka, tho winner of tha Suburban handicap at Sheepshead bay.last weok, not ouly made a name for himself and his ridor, but started his owner, D. W. McCoun, o thé race for wealth. and gave prominence to the territory for which ho was named and whero he was stadled for two winters, says a New- ark, N. J., papsr. This place is the Loan- taka valley, situated in_the conter of tho tri- anglo of “which Morristown, Madison and Gireen Villago are the points, ' Loantaka was once famous as the lieadquarters of Washing- ton’s army in the winter of 1770, after his victory at Princeton.

Monkey wrench is the term applied to a tool, a sort of spanner with a movable juw. foro part of the name by recailing the fact that a monkey’s jaw is movable also. The monkey wrench was invented some years ngo by a poor mechanic whose name is Charles Monckey, says Harper's Young People. e sold his patent for a song and is now working for day’s wage in Brooklyn. His invention has made millions of dollars for those who w able to place it upon the market. Derrick is the name of a crane used in shifting and lighting heavy weights. It is said to be so called from one Theodoric, who, while serving at Cadiz as a soldier under Robert, Farl of 1 was doomed to death for some crime, but pardoned by his commander on condition that ho would hang twenty-tree other male- factors. Such are the revolutions of fate that subsequently he employed in London to behead E the man who had saved his life, A stentorian voice is that of one like the Grecian herald in the Trojan w whom Homer deseribes as hearted, brazen-voiced Stentor, aceu tomed to shout as loud as fifty other men, A raglan is a loose overcoat with long sleeves, such as Lord Raglan wore in the Some etymologists account for the re Srren Crimean w: ‘Wellingtons are boots named after the Iron Duke. Blucher are also boots, named after the com mander of Wellington’s Prussian allies at Waterloo. Any magnificent tomb is mausoleum. Mavsolus, the Carian king whose name it bears, had nothing what- ever to do with the original except to lie in it when ho was dead. The piety of his wife, Artemisia, gave-his name to the tomb and immortality to her hus- band’s memory, because the monument she built over his'boay gavea word to language. The magnolia bears the name Pierre Magrol, professor of medi- cine at Montpellier, France, in che enteenth centur botanist, has his name embalmed in the dahlia. Indirectly our word dollar depends upon a good man's name. The word is an_abbreviation of Joachimsthaler, a coin first minted about 1518 in the valley of St. Joachim, Bohemia. The valley (thal) bears the vawe of the saint. Boy- cott is a word recently introduced, but already in use everywhere, A few years called a ago Captain Charles Cunningham ~Boy- cott, anIvish farmer and land agent, angered his tenants, and in revenge they refused to work' for him or to sell him food. To boycott means to with- hold custom from a man in any line of business. A martinet is what few sol- diers like to be called. Colonel Martinet was an_officer in the army of Louis XIV. He was so particular about small details, so rigid in his discipline, that he was looked upon as a nuisance. His name has come down 10 us as applicable to a military Miss Nancy Finniken. Bogus is’ the corrupted form of the name Borghese, that of a noted swindler who passed large amounts of eounterfeit money in the west some years ago. Boniface is a common name for the land- lord of a tavern. The original was one of the rave kind—a sleek, good-tempered, jolly landlora—but he wasn’t in veal life. He was a character in Farquhar’s come of *The Beaux’ Stratagem,” written in 1707 - A Lazy Man's Paradise. Butter is very rare in the Paraguayan capital, because the pessants will not at- tend to their cows, lead them to good pusture, and work u churn, writes Theo- dore Child in Harper’s Monthly. At Asuncion we have seen the cows turned out into the street to graze, where thore is next to nothing to eat. At Villa Con- cepeion the case is the same, whereus if the cows were led hall a mile to the edge of the town they would find abun- dant pasture and give good milk. ‘I'his is only one instance out of a thousand. Take, ugain, those old and young women we saw squatting in the ‘markot, with little scraps of produce spread out before them. Suppose they sell this for ten cents, they have enough to buy mate, tobaceo, mandioca, which aro their chief ailments, and thus they keep the houschold going with the help of oranyes, that lie in many places a foot deepon the ground. A caustic observer has said that the Paraguayan peasunt lives on mate and the smell of a gronsed rag. Tha,greased rag is an ex- aggeration, Maday mandioca, tobucco, sugar cane, orangesy and cana rum s o luxury, such are:the ordinary and ex- traordinary artiéles of consumption. With poor food “siich as this, the men are naturally wiil and indolent; and being ut the same time the lords of crea- tion, they pass theiy lives in meditative laziness, und ldave the women to do what little wovk vis ' ubsolutely required to keep a roof ovée ‘their heads. These Paraguayans, pook and ignorant as they may be, are provd and susceptible; they never say thank you except as a formula of refusuyiv is useless to ocdor them about; thoysmast be treated with gentlonoss and pewsuasion, as equals, and even then not fiuch can be got out of them. So 1 wi$“old by a dozen men who have had vagiell experience in the country. The educated Paraguayans themselves admit this much, but with- out notable disapproval; and with an impationt click of the tongue against the teeth, and much writhing and shrugging of neck and shoulders, they will protest against Americanism, pro- gress, and doing things quickly, "It is not in the character of the nation,” they | will say. It is in our nature to go on slowly, quietly, without effort; and for- tune comes to s almost while we are sleeping.” Money Makin, During the past year 192 tons of gold, 888 tons of silver and 74 tons of copper were cast 10t bars by the British mint They were in turn converted into 85,000, 000 ‘coins, of which 17,500,000 were ro- jected for deficiencles in weight and XTEE valued at £7.680,158, the silver coinnge at £1,684,688, and bronze at £00,285, White England m coin more gold than we do, the aggragite value of our coine ago is greater.
