Brown and Rob inson, w have nothing approaching to the poverty, In thli respect, which char acted many localltlee In North Brit ain. In certain porta of Scotland, not only have the umainea been few, but there hae been a atrong disposition to ring the change on a very few Christian names, with the result that the commu nity, In It desire to distinguish between persona of precisely the same name, ha been obliged to provide each with a ie cial label, or "to-namo," by which be can be known. A contributor to The Scotsman aayi that In the official Jlst of Totera In a 8cotch fishing town occur ucb "to-namee" a "Deadly," Turn. "Don." "Cock," "Post," "Bo," "San dyke," "Helen' Jamea," and o on. Such epilation as theae are not nec essarily nickname, as we understand them. Sometimes they are patronymic, iomotlmc they are local in allusion, aometime thoy refer to individual occu pations, sometime they are personally descriptive, ouietliite they are more identifications, - signifying nothing." Occasionally they are simple varia tion upon single Christian name. Thu it may be, on John Bruce, popu larly called "Jock," ha eon named William, who become "Jock' WulL' Hi son, again, who U called William, become "Jock' WulJ'a Wllliamio," while the last turned' on, If also called William, become ''Jock' WuII' Wil llamie' Wullsie," A further form Is "Wullsikle," but that, probably, I rarely used. The system still obtains In Scotland, and If It were introduced Into this country It might prevent ome of tli confusion which exist among our John Smith. Thoma Browns and Wil liam Robinson.

The exception wore young man and a baby. The formei was willing to follow the example of the majority, but the latter objected in loud voice. IU crie awoke the other passenger, and some pretty trong lan guage was hoard. The young man got out of his berth and carried the baby up and down the car, trying to soothe it. But the baby waa ailing and fretful, and It voice would not be (tilled. Finally a gray headed man, who wa evidently an old traveler, (tuck hi head out from be hind the curtain and called to the young man In rather sharp voice: "See here, sir, why don't you take that child to It mother. She will be able to manage It much bettor than you. It evidently want its mother." "Tea, that' It," echoed half t dozen other irritated passenger.

The Philadelphia Record says by the Spreckels-Havemeyer agreement Sprock ets is not to sell his sugar in that part of the country east of the Missouri river, and the Havenievers are not to Invade the territory west of the Missouri. The trust's refinery in San Francisco and that belonging to Spreckels are to alternate monthly in closing, and in this wav it is expected the production on the Pacific t. oust can be regulated so that there will be nodilliculty in maintaining prices.

HOW TO TELL A GOOD HORSE. i ..nnniliinl nl Tmrn and Colin m(;i A l.UIII.DWimv... v (- - . - Australia, says : " I can't explain what a irood horse is," said a well-known dealer. " They are as different as men.

The horse that turns back his ears till they meet at the points, take my word for it, is sure to do something wrong. See that straight elegant face.

Now is a good time to think over and determine what garden seeds you will want for spring and summer sowing. To do this, first send for one or more cata logues of seedsmen of character ; care fully look them over nnd see w hat the land vou propose to grow will require : then order, thus saving money, besides running less risk from poor seeds as may be found at the corner-grocery store. The market gardener, says the Prairie Farmer, or those who cultivate exten sively will hardly need these hints, as they could not well keep up with the markets or home supplies if they did, but the L-rent mass of neonle who now livo in suburban homes and expect to do something in the line of vegetables or Mowers, or both, are very apt to put off the matter until actual sowing time, and thus run great chances of getting things of poor quality or unfit for the purposes required, it takes but ft very small patch of lnnd, and that may be at the back of the lot, to grow a good family supply of early root crops, such as beets, turnips, radishes, onions from sets, cab bage, cauliflower, spinach; salads, as lettuce, cress and pepper grass; peas, snap-short beans, etc. While for a win ter supply, or for potatoes, etc., if the land is of small extent, resort may be had to the general market. No lot of land is less than twenty-five feet wide, often 60x150 ; in such a spot a piece used for the kitchen garden of say 20r.40 will. if well manured, and as soon as one crop is off another put in, grow all we give above, to which tomatoes, cucumbers and a few melon hills may be added. This leaves room for the house and a nice lawn and flower patch in the front with a place worthy the name of a sum mer home. If all this is more than likely to be attended to, then have a dozen stools of rhubarb, a bed of aspar agus, with ft spot, say 10xJ0, juet to grow salads only. If this is too much trouble even, then lay down in grass and walks (the fewer of these the better) with a half dozen clumps of fine shrubs, half a dozen trees for shade, with a few flower beds, anything to make the home lot look cherry and pleavant and afford a pleasingoccupation of an hour or two to keep all clean and tidv. As to quantities required the following may be of service: One ounce of beet seed will give a row of 50 feet ; a pint of dwan neans, oo teet ; one-fourth ounce of carrots, 75 feet ; a quart of onion sets 40 feet; the same of peas, 75 feet: an ounce of radish, enough for four sowings ol 11) teet each ; an ounce of spinach enough for two sowings of 60 feet each one-half ounce of turnips, three sowings of ai teet each; an ounce of lettuce giv ing 1,000 plants, enough for a dozen sow ings. Twenty-five plants each of cab bage and cauliflower are enough for a single planting.

This volume of "Iteadlana' is full of excellent material for an estimation or iha character of Charles Reade. flis catholicity of feeling, his hatred of cant, his Inch sense of justice, his sympatny with the suffering and poor, are shown from first to last in liis writings as well as in his Ufa What would have struck you next if you hod known hira well, was the difference between Mr. Reade at home and Mr. Reade in prink Call upon him. Ha would receive you with the contleness of a saint (not that I pretend ever to have known ft saint, but you will annreciate the simile), talk to you with singular modesty, listen to you with the greatest respect, ask you to dinner, or to take a cup of tea as one wno receives a favor by your acceptance, and you would have gone away thinking of him as the mildest, sweetest, most long suffering gentleman you had ever met But give him a grievance, tamper with his rights, tread on his moral corns, then put a pen in his hand, and you would find him ft writer of thoughts that breathe, of words that burn indeed. Not, my friends, that 1 ever experienced his wrath. On the contrary, he was always kind and sym pathetic toward me. lie took me by the hand, and said cheery words of wei come to me when 1 came to London, some twenty years ago. we met lor the first time at the inaugural dinner or The Belgravia Magazine. We were In troduced to each other by Miss ISraddon We had a long, interesting chat during the evening; lie hud read my first novel (he was a multifarious reader) and spoke kindly about It, From that night we were friends. He wrote pleasant letters of encouragement to me; and in later years intrusted me with his defense against a cruel personal attack leveled at him by an American clergyman. Joseph Ilatton In London Tunes. In m Hurry to "ffaib Up." There are few things that destroy the pleasure of witnessing a dramatic repre sentation more than the hasty moving of the characters from their positions be fore the curtain has quite reached the door, at the end of an act. You see a villain shot down and killed instanter. You see him make one convulsive move ment and then straighten out, a very dead corpse. You think to yourself: "Well, thank heaven, he is done for. There are perhaps a few words from the leading man, who, with Ins smoking pis tol in his hand, takes the heroine to his bosom. Then the curtain falls to slow music. The bottom of the curtain perhaps two feet from the stage, when the corpse begins to pull itself together, preparatory to rising, wow, now can you believe that the villain is disposed of, and that he will not exercise a dis turbing influence upon the fortunes of the hero and heroine in future, when you know that he was only pretending to be dead? It is not only corpse that offend in this way. Live people, when they have grouped themselves in an effective tableau, should not allow the audience to see them scuttling away to their dressing rooms, because they are too impatient to wait for the complete fall of the curtain. Margaret Mather is one of ihe worst offenders in this respect that 1 have ever seen. I'ltLsliurg Bulletin. The Picture Ktiilrn Id Pcrajla. Not long ago 1 corrected a blundering statement which had gono the round of the press aliout a robbery of Raphael' "Entombment" from the Church of Ban Pietro, in Perugia, the fact being that the picture was painted for another church, from which it was removed in 1797 by the French, who ultimately sent it to the atican. It may interest some of my readers to know, further, that the pict ure stolen from the Church of San Pie tro, at Perugia, was a reduced, though extremely beautiful, copy of tho same "Entombment" by Sassof errata The theft took place in 1873, and the plctur remained concealed in a private house in Florence until few months ago, when It waa given up owing to the interven tion of the government.
