Carey, who recently resigned his pos-ition as District Attorney for the Northern District of California, gives as his reasons that the office is not suffi ciently remunerative, and that he has difficulty in securing back pay due him from the government. At a consultation if tlio rcprBuntA tives of the coal supply and the coal mining companies held in Tacoma it was estimated that the supply this winter will fall 25 or 30 per cent, below the de mand.

The trestle bridge over Putah creek, two miles south of Davisville, Cal., was destroyed by fire the other night. The tire was no doubt incendiary, and seems to 1 the work of parties who have here- ttoTe made several attempts to wreck the Oregon train, which has a very heavy travel.

The probability of a scarcity of coal on Puget sound this winter is denied authoritatively by many dealers. A man interested in the Ros'yn mines states that, while there has be.-p a scarcity of car, the demand has, 'been supplied without trouble. He claimed that the Roslyn mine alone could supply the needs of the State, or 3.00J tons a dav if called upon, 'lhe Frankrvn mine had been shut down recently because of the, large amount of coal on hand. While some of the mines are not getting out much, new claims are being opentd and the supply is almost inexhaustible. EASTERN ITEMS. Milwaukee's Public School Princi pals About to Strike.

INSPIRATION. H peasant totling "mid the ihetna From dew to dew among the waning grata j What time he went afield in early morn. The stars shone above the morning nilsa; And when at eve he reached hi. cottage door, i He heard the plovers calling to the night. One day, while 'neath his measured rhythmlo stroke Fell swath on awatn of precious golden grain. She came across the fields a vision rare The princess, good and pure and beautiful. Who, smiling on him as she passed htm bjr. Knew not that she had filled his heart with love And soul with music. Yet from that day forth His fellow workers heard his sweet sad songs. And wondered at their comrade as he sang. Boon far beyond the humble rustic town His master music touched the hearts of Until the world had claimed him as her own. And wreathed him poet with the laurel crown. One day he found his wandering steps astray Where he had seen the vision of MssmiiI "II she," he thought, "had been peasant maid. And I a prince had seen her toiling there. How happy now would be these weary days! At this he threw himself upon the sheaves Until the length'ning shadows eastward thrown Had blended with the gently deep'mng gloom Until across the misty starlit meads He heard the plovers calling to the night. Sanborn Gove Tenney in Harper "a A Dog That Www. This recalls the story of the grey hound, whose master was an expert bi cyclist, and was accustomed to run down bill, with his legs tucked up on the ma chine. The greyhound, a speedy and highly intelligent creature, always seem ed to take extreme pleasure in this feat, and one day, to his master's astonish ment, suddenly drew all his legs under him and shot past the bicycle at an ele vation of some five feet from the ground. Three times only, in the course of a long descent, he just touched the ground with his left hind foot, and met his master at the foot of the hill with frisks and bounds, having traveled nearly three hundred yards in the air. It is a curious fact, but the chronicle asserts that, on the death of this dog, elementary wings were found on his shoulder blades, which seems to indicate that he had a natural predilection for flying. London Times. Improved Sounding Machine. Tlie old method of "heaving the lead" was a cumbrous and often unreliable process, which, occupied a considerable time, and could only be performed when the vessel was brought to or going at a very moderate speed. With Sir William Thomson's improved sounding machine the depth can be accurately found with little trouble and without altering the speed of the vessel. A line of soundings can be taken with great ease and the ship's place be made known by compari son with the chart long before she comes near to any dangerous position. For steamships going at a great speed, and especially when nearing land, the use of this machine is absolutely indispensable. New York Commercial Advertiser. A Man, with Iron Nerve. An exceeding cheeky thief made his appearance in Boston one day recently. He was dressed in bveralls. He went into the office of a life insurance com pany and, while whistling one of the latest"tunes, began to unscrew from the wall of a toilet room on the fourth floor a mirror valued at about $20. Fully twenty occupants of the building saw the man at work, and everybody thought he had been hired either to repair the glass or clean it.. They did not suspect anyinmg was wrong until after he left. Then it was learned he was a thief. He walked down the four flights of stairs and left by means of the front door. Philadelphia Ledger. "Ketched" Up with Them. Ignatius Donnelly sometimes tells this anecdote! from the platform: An old farmer' in the south was taking his first mp on a railway train. The equipment was poor and the road was rough and in bad condition, so thai rh train maa nsvn. time. Suddenly the engine whistled! 1 l " 1 . " . 1 . , n. , ... vvnais me matter.- as tea tne farmer, anxiously. '-Oh," said a fellow pas senger, "there are some cows on the track and they are whistling to scare them off." The train ran along slowly a few miles farther, when the whistle sounded again. The farmer suddenly started and then exclaimed: "Blowed if we haven't ketched up with them cows again." Rarity of the Cormorant. It seems rather strange that, while skins and eggs of the great auk are so highly valued, the public rarely hear of Pallas' cormorant, the extinction of which in the North Pacific corresponds to that of the great auk in the North Atlan tic, Only four specimens of Pallas' cor morant are known to exist in museums; no one possesses its eggs; and no bones were found or preserved until Mr. Leon hard Stejneger, of the Smithsonian insti tution, was so fortunate some years ago as to rescue a few of them. Yet this bir was the largest and handsomest of its tribe. New York Ledger. A Costly Barn. The costliest horse barn in the world belongs to D. E. Crouse and is located at Syracuse, N. Y. It has now cost the owner, a millionaire horseman, some thing like $700,000. Incidental expenses will make the stable cost little short of a round million. St Louis Republic. Bostonese.

The population of Iceland diminished 1,400 between 1885 and 1888, being at the close of the latter year 69,234. The decline is due to emigration to America. The native, fishermen complain that their business is being rained by the Enz- una tuning Tb DrM Suit In EnclasU An experience recently told me of visit to the London Lyceum theatre a twelvemonth since veri:ie the state ment as to the positive rule of some of the English playhouses not to admit ladies or gentlemen to the stalls unless they are in evening dress. Tlie American had had a busy day of it, and found that it was too late to put himself into his dress suit, aa was his 6ustoru when going to the thea tre, and hurried off in his ordinary morn ing suit with his wife to witness the per formance of Henry Irving in "The Dead Heart." At the box office he tendered his money for a couple of stalls. The offi cial looked the applicant over for a mo ment, apparently arrived at the conclu sion he was a gentleman and forthwith asked if he would not accept a box a much preferable and more expensive situatiojfor his lady and himself. "I maie this suggestion," continued the courteous and diplomatic represen tative, "because should you appear in the stalls not in full dress you would at tract an embarrassing amount of notice as the only persons that had been pre vented, for some cause or other, from observing the usual formality. I feel sure that under the circumstances you will find this box more agreeable." "Neat way of putting it, wasn't itf" said the narrator chipperly, "and so En glish, you know!" Clothier and Fur nisher. A Cnrion. Pulpit. A curious colonial relic known as the "open and shut pulpit," has been sold at Danielsonville, Conn. It had been in the Read family for 160 years, and was the property of Rev. Amos Read, the first Baptist minister in the state. Mr. Read had to travel great distances in order to "spread the gospel," and had his pulpit made to take with him. It opens and shuts with rtino-M lite a nKoef vlinui K.1 i is very much larger than the box' part wnen tne pulpit is shut up it is seem ingly a fair sized box; opened, the solid lid stands straight before the preacher, a pulpit standard, on which the minister lays his Bible and hymn book, and be hind which he discourses, standing on the other part of tlie box. Rev. Amos j tteaa, wnen he set forth to preach in j distant parts, just strapped up his pulpit, j balanced it on his horse's back and trot ted forth, carrying church as well as gospel with him. Philadelphia Ledger. Traveling a Modern Passion. Now the gadfly which pursued poor Io seems to have stung us all, and we flit about the globe restlessly, till it has nearly come to pass that everybody who has a house has let it to somebody else, and the last place to expect to find a man is at home. A general game of puss-in-the-corner amuses the best society of Europe and America all the summer and much of the winter. The humblest village school child expects two or three annual excursions; every servant and shop hand stipulates for holidays long enough to pay distant visits; in short, our lives are becoming much like those of festive gnats at play of a warm even ing. Sometimes we pause to suck a flower or to bite somebody, but we soon return to the perpetual locomotion which seems to possess unfailing charm. Fran, ces Power Cobbe in Forum. A Dng That Likes Gas. . At the Dog's Grotto, one of the curl ositie8 maintained near Rojd, Italy, there is a cave, the lower part of which is said to be filled with deadly gas, so that while a man can walk about unharmed a dog breathing the lower air is asphyx iated. To prove it they have a dog called Columba that is taken into the cave whenever a visitor appears, and that, after a short time, seems overcome by the alleged gas and has to be carried out and resuscitated in the fresh air. The Mog is so well trained that whenever she sees a stranger approaching she gets up and trots off to the cave to get her as phyxiation. This happens many times a day, but the dog seems none the worse for it New York Sun. A Sagacious Dog. . A correspondent tells a curious story of animal sagacity. He once knew a dog who used to run on the legs of one side a sort of one sided shambler. The animal would start in the usual way, and when he had acquired a sufficient momentum tuck up the legs of one side and, leaning over toward the other side, scamper along on two legs until tired. He would then acquire fresh impetus, and give the other legs a turn at this ex hilarating exercise. The correspondent writes from Cyprus, not Crete. London Field. A Valid Excuse. Lady Reformer Why don't you con gressmen pass a law prohibiting the smoking of cigarettes? Congressman We have no reason for doing so. Lady Reformer No reason? Why, ci garette smoke injures the brain. Congressman Possibly it does, ma dam; but people who have brains don't smoke cigarettes. Chatter. A Floating Churrh. The Rev. Robert J. Walker, of the Church of Our Saviour, anchored in the East river at the foot of Pile street, is something of a wag. He says that his church is "high" or "low" according to the tide. As his members are all sailors. he may be said to be dependent upon the noating population. New York Com mercial Advertiser. Hot Afraid or Microbe. Dr. George Duttan, a Boston physician, at a meeting of the American Health so ciety, of which he is president, made this challenge: "Let my medical friends bring me half a pint of all kinds of ba cilli and I will eat them, provided that if I am not sick the next day the microbe theorists will forever thereafter hold their peace." The total population of Greenland at the end of 1888 was 10,291. There had been 162 deaths during the previous year, of which thirty-one had been by drowning from the native ranose and sb by other accidents. ft Why lone Have Cnsum GeatUe IIbimsih English Fin las Changes. Ixrjl Coleridge touched upon aa tn CereetiBg" theme the other day when he -Inquired of oertaia Jewish witnesses how it was that they had adopted the names of Mordount and 8a ville in lien of their native patronymics of Moses and Sam. ueL It is not quite correct to say the. Jews ever change their original names. In the synagogues they bear throughout their lives tho Hebrew names in tho traditional Oriental form of So-and-so, son of So-and-so given to them shortly after their birth. The instability of the names by which they are known to tho world is due' to the fact thatsUiginally, like all Oriental peoples, they had no' family nasp'"iind that wherever they have congV. "'"""v, clsely together the secular uL waditional genea logical forms has been tenacfottsly pre served. In some countries, such as Ger many and Austria, special legislation has been found necessary to compel them to adopt fixed surnames. ' As, at different times, they have come into closer con tact with the Gentile world, they have themselves seen the necessity of sur names, and it is not surprising if, under these circumstances, some of them should have chosen the most sonorous and dis tinguished they could find. An examination of the lists of seat hold ers in the twelve principal synagogues of London shows that less than 5 per cent of the names such as Beddington, Clif ford, Coburn, Curtis, Graham, Halford, Hamilton, Hardinge, Hardy, Herbert, Howard, Lumley, Manvillc, Marsden, Merton, Montagu, Morley, Morton, Neville, Norman, Russell, Sydney, Wal ford, etc aro accounted for on this hypothesis. The foreign surnames and place names preserved by the Jews of England form a small epitome of the history of the Israelitish dispersion. Side by side with the Hebrew Abrahams, the Egyptian Moses, and the English Mordaunt, we have the Greek Alexander and Margolies, the Latin Marcus, and the Arabic Mocattx Those derived from mediaeval house signs are Rothschild, Adler, Ganz, Schiff, Strauss, Silberkron, etc. Some of the occupation names are interesting. Rophe is Hebrew for physician, and Rappoport is a corruption of Rophe d 'Oporto; Jalfon is Hebrew for money changer, and Mocatta is Arabic for mason. More strictly Anglo-Jewish are the natural assimilations of Hebrew and Jewish names to English forms. Thus, Coleman is a corruption of Kalnian, which is an abbreviation of Kalonymos, the Greek, translation of the Hebrew Sliem Tob (Good Name). Bonny is de rived, through Bondi, from a Latin translation of Yom Tob (Good Day). Phillips comes from the Hebrew Uri or Meier, both meaning "light," through the Greek equivalent Phcebos and its German-Polish diminutive Pheibul. Sa ville is a more natural corruption of Samuel than is generally imaginedsee ing that in Germany the Scriptural name has been shortened into Sanvel, and in England we have the authority of Mr. Weller, senior, to spell it with a "we." Freeman is from the German Friedraann, a translation and apocopation of Shalom ben Menachem. Ilaymen is derived through Hyman and Uyan from the He brew liaim (life). Jessel is from Eches kel, the Hebrew pronunciation of Eze kiel. Yates is from Goetz, an abbrevia tion of Gottschalk, which in Low Ger man means '-God's servant," and is a literal translation of Eljakira. Among sim4er changes are Cowan Cohen, Lewin Levi, Victor Avigdor, Archer Asher, Jessop Joseph, and Soman and Slowman Solomon. Curious in stances of misdirected translations are af forded by the names Murchant and Chap man, both of which are Anglicizations of the German Kaufinann or Uandels mann. Originally, however, neither of these names meant ''merchant" among the Teutonic Jews. Kaufmann is a cor ruption of Koppelman, of which the first two syllables are a German diminutive of Jacob and the third an abbreviation of Menachem, the whole being a contrac tion of Jacob ben Menachem. Handcls mann has a similar history, being derived from Elchanon ben Menachem, through Handl, a recognized German diminutive of Elchanon. In the same way Scligman is a contraction of Selig ben Menachem, and Felberman a cor rupted contraction of Phoebus (Uri) ben Menachem. One of the most curious instance? of an erroneous etymology is the name Jaffe,. which figures among the landed gentry of county Down. It is the He brew word for "beautiful," and is a direct translation of the German "Schon." As a Jewish surname, however, Schon or Schen has no meaning. It is simply an acrostic of the Hebrew Schliach Neemon (faithful messenger). These acrostic names are peculiarly Jewish, and many of them are found among English Jews. For example, Katz. which one of these days will perhaps be Anglicized into Cat, is derived from the initials of Kohen Tzedek (priest of righteousness); Schatz, which in Hungary has actually been' translated into Kincz, the Magyar for "treasure," is from Schliach Tzibur (messenger of the congregation); Babad is from Ben Ab Beth Din (Son of the President of the House of Judgment); Sack is from Sera Kadoeb (holy poster ity), and when the name of a town be ginning with s is addded as, for exam ple, Sera Kadosh Speyer (holy posterity of Speyer) it becomes Saks or Sachs, which has been frequently mistaken for an abbreviation of Saclisen (Saxony); Bram is from Ben Rabbi Moses; Bran, (corrupted into Braun, and translated into Brown) from Ben Rabbi Nachman; Bard, from Ben Rabbi David; BersaL from Ben Rabbi Solomon the Levite, and Brit from Ben Rabbi Judah the Levite. The exegetical names are also peculiar ly Jewish. They consist of equivalents for Hebrew names, derived from colloca tions in biblical tests. Thus the com parisons in Jacob's blessing furnish equivalents for Benjamin in Wolf, for Judah in Lion and for Naphtali in Hart Fisher is an equivalent for Ephraim, be- - cause, it was foretold (Gen. xlviii, 19) that be should multiply exceedingly, and the fish is a symbol of fruitfulness. It is also sometimes a substitute for Moses, because Pharaoh's daughter, in giving him his name, said (Exodus- ii, 10):" "For I drew him ou of the water." St. James' Gazette. - THE NAMES Of JEW.
