The warden of one of our state peni tentiaries said to n visitor thirt almost tho first expression of dissatisfaction on tno part of u now prisoner was called forth by tbo routine and mo notony of prison life, says ouths Companion. Koine, men show intense feelinff against it for tho first few weeks of their confinement; but after two or three years, it seems, in some cases, as if they could not do without it. The warden had known discharged pris oners to return and ask for work in side, just "to get hack to the regular ity of prison life." Captains of seagoing vessels and officers of the army observe the same tnut of human nature. The discipline, the inflexible routine, which are irk some to tne raw recruit and to the sailor in his earlier voyages, obtain so firm a hold on their minds and habits that they prefer not to live outside of them. Jack goes back to bis ship and the soldier reenlists until each grows gray, or death takes them. Some of Iloimparte's marshulH, men of low birth, had learned in tbeir youth vulgar tricks of the eye, the hand, grimaces and foolish laughter. Even the emperor, and his brothers and sisters, were not guiltless of such habits, lie could not rid them of these signs of childish vulgarity. They could not rid themselves of them. He could make them kings and queens, and they could bundle their scepters right royally; hut old hubits ruled them stilt. A century n'io John Vaux, u young man making "tbe grand tour," wrote: 'I was impatient to plunge into the dissipation of 1'aris. I had not, how ever, counted on the hold which old habits had on me. They bad been leanly. Kvery net, word or familiar custom of my pure English life at home held me now like an iron cord. I uibl not plunge into the foul depths. 1 wished to do it, hut could not." There arc few young men who do not wish to make their lives solid and enduring. Let them remember that this inexorable natural law is equally strong in good as in bad habits. Every high, pure aim In his father or mother; every honest, modest custom of a young man's home; the cleanly life of his boyhood; tbo prayers he learned; tbe habits of reverence, of kind, unselfish action these are as so many stones in the rampart which shall defend him in middle age from storm uiul ruin. lUn I ituriN INSETS.

It is n matter of surprise to all who, for the first time, have any experience in high northern latitudes, to note the great ahuudnni'c of insect life in Alaska. Tlie writer of tbis paragraph was especially interested in noting tho large amount of htrviu uiul other low- conditions of animal life which was carried down from the ineltiiigglneiers into tho rivers and streums which tlowed from them. It is to this that we have to attribute the greut nbuu daneeof the higher formsof animal life which prevails. Kish especially are In such quuutity near tbe const, attracted by this abundance, that it seems like repeating tho tales of Huron Mun chausen to tho listener. Tho vounc ion of the writer, who was w ith him n this expedition, was, with a couple of Indians in a bout, able to drive salmon into narrow creeks in such abundance that the boat could he driven ngainM the fish in their en deavors to escape. They could have been dragged up in shoals by any- strong and ordinary net. In the nrlier history of Colorado very much stress was laid on the fact that Fre mont saw a bee on one of the high ele vations while crossing tbe llocky mountains. Lieut, l'eurv, in his re cent expeditions to North tlreenlaivd, found a bumble bee on tbe north coast f tlreenlaud tho highest point of land yet reached by a human being so far as known. This explorer suites tbut not oulv bees but other insects abound as soon as the spring fairly opeus. Flowers of many kinds are particularly beautiful and abundant, affording a good chance for honev and lieu-collecting Insects to lav up rich stores in advance of their long arc 1 10 winters. A Gentleman Who formerly resided In Connecticut, but who now resides in Honolulu, writes: "For 20 years past, my wife and 1 have used Acer's llalr Vigor, and e amllHite m it the dark hair which she and I now have, while hun dreds ot our acquaiut auces, ten or a dozen yean younger tuau we, are either gray-hemled, white, or bald.

Ksely Comss from Cnolle and Kennedy from f rlneidich. Klely, or Keely, and sometimes the name is written Cayley, but according to the Iioston Post, more correctly OTCceley or O'Kiely, is a name derived from Caoile, an individual of the same blood as the O'Donovaus of Munster, and is written O'Caoile and MacCaoile, pronounced like O'Keoley and Mac Kceley. Mac Tire was chief of Ui-Mac-C'aoilo at the time of the English invasion of Ireland and, according to old annalists, slew Raymond Lo tiros. Ii is name still survives in the name of the village liaile-Mae-Tire, now Castlemartyr, in County Cork. The name Kennedy, or more correctly written O'Kennedy, is derived from Crineidigb or Crinneidigh (pronounced Kennedy) the king of Munster and futhcr of Iirian Iioromha (Iirien Uoru.) The septs of O'Hegan, in Irish O'Uiagain, O'C.thasaigh, angli cized O'Cttsey, and O'Twomey or O'Too- mey, in Irish O'Tuama, are also de scended from Donehuan, pronounced like Donnegan. The name MaeXeill, or MeNcil, originated with one of the progenitors of the O liuairc (now writ ten O'Honrkc), prince of Hrefiiey fam ily. It signifies son of Neill (formerly written Niall.) The name has been anglicized to Neilson and Nelson. This name is different from O'Neill, which isderived from Niall of the Nine Hos tages, king of lrclund in the fourth century, Coyle, MacCawmcl, MncCawell and Cawmil are derived from Fearach, a brother of Murtagh Mor MacEarea (Murta More MeOarna), the one hun dred and thirty-first monarch of Ire laud. This Fearach had a son named in Irish Cathmaoill (pronounced Caw mill), whose son took thu name Mac Catbmhaoill (signifying son of Cath mhoill). The Clan Campbell, of Ire land, had the same common progen itor, und the name is pronounced to tbe present day Cawmell in many parts of Ireland. The name is derived from the Irish word catli, a battle, and maoill, a heap. Caullield is from the same root; so also is tho name Cagh well and several other corruptions of the old Clan Cathmhaoill. The elan were located in Ulster, where many representatives yet remain. The name Hegarty, O'llagarty and Ilaggnrty is of Irish origin, and written O'U'Eigcheartaigb (pronounced O'llag arty). The name Desmond has its or igin in the Irish word Deus-.Mluinihan (pronounced Dasvooan) which was afterward anglicised to Desmond, und means South Munster. Some of the owners of the name have tried to Nor malize it into D'lisinond. Dillon, Le Dillon and Diluane Is traced back in Irish history to an individual named Eochnn Dilmhnin (Eoghan Dilwinn) who lied to France in ancient times, and one of whose descendants, Robert Eo Dillon, or Dillion, returned with Derniod MaeMurrough at t.io time of the Norman conquest of Ireland. He was afterward given n large territory in Leinster, which his descendants held until tbe reign of Queen Eliza beth. The Dillon family have been fa mous in Irish history for the pai.t three hundred years. A number of tlu.'in were chiefs of the Irish brigade in the service of France, in which there was a Dillon regiment. TWO DOMESTIJ iRAGEDIES.

Nor Is It Very Beautiful. How or where the custom originated, it is hard to say, but it is certain that about nine-tenths of the seafaring men of tho world are tattooed on some parts of their bodies. Among the uncivilized of almost every clime this custom of marking and defacing the body has been quite common, and it is very pronaoie tnat the sailors, in their cruises to foreign lands untraveled by civilized people, picked up the custom. In my experience among sailors, writes Dion Williams in the Washington Star, I have often noticed the many queer devices tattooed all over the bodies, or on some part of these hardy good-natured fellows that love "a life on tho ocean wave" better than the dry land. It is probably among men-o'-war's men that the custom is most near ly universal, and there is scarcely n ship in the navy but has some blue jacket aboard who is an artist with the tattooing needle. It is said that the Chinese are the most expert at this queer trade, and their designs are often artistic that is, artistic in the sense of the dragon and snake style of art peculiar to Japan and China. lhe outfit of a tattooing artist con sists of a few needle points stuck in the end of a fine stick, forming a sort of steel comb, a few sticks of India ink, generally black, blue and red, and a few mixing cups, and always a book of samples in which are crudely drawn in chalk the flashing designs that the artist is able to make. Seated on ditty box or the deck, the artist first takes the arm or the place to be tattooed and draws in ink the design to be made. He then draws the skin tightly and with the steel needle points punctures the skin along the design first dipping the needle points into the color to be used. The operation is not particularly painful, no more so than sticking a sharp needle through the skin, which, if anyone tries to do with deliberation, he will find not particu larly painful. The place tattooed then becomes sore to an extent depending upon the size of the design and the place tattooed, but it generally com pletely heals within ten days, and the design in colors is indelibly incorpo rated into the skin. There is no known means of removing it after it is once on, except to remove the skin tattooed, which would, of course, leave a severe scar. On board a man-of-war in the early morning after reveille the men all over the decks take off their clothing and wash themselves, and it is then that I have found the best opportunity to notice the queer designs in tattooing on back, breast, legs and arms. The designs are rich in variety as well as execution. Here, for instance, is a grizzled old tar with mossy breast, whose buck is covered with a ship un der full sail, with the men on herdecks ten times too big for proper propor tions. Another has on his breast a picture which his fond imagination paints into the glorious fight in Mobile bay, with Farragut and the Hartford in the foreground and cannon bellow ing red clouds of fire all around. The old jackey points with pride to it and tells an admiring crowd of young ap prentice boys, who stand around, of that glorious summer day when Farra gut, ever dear to the navy as their I "Grand Old Admiral, said; "D n the torpedoes," and led the squadron to victory in the old Hartford. She was then the pride of the navy, and now is being rebuilt to be put in active serv ice, according to an act of congress, which provides for keeping the Hart ford and Kearsarge in the service in commemoration of their gallant record in the civil wav. Many bluejackets have a picture of the crucifixion tattooed upon them, though one whom I saw with it cover ing the whole of his back seemed little fitted to bear so devout an ornament, for when another sailor stepped on his bare foot such torrents of real sailor profanity came from his mouth that there could be little doubt that he had forgotten the day of repentance when he had the cross tattooed on his back. These large designs cause such a great expanse of skin to become irritated that they become quite painful if done all at once, so they are generally done in sections, sometimes so unskillfullv that the marks show, making a sort of checkerboard picture. Some of the de signs are very grotesque. I remember one very well done, one of a monkey on a man's leg, that always caused a smile among those who saw it. The blue jackets often have pictures of their sweethearts tattooed on their arms or breast, and it makes little difference if the sweetheart herself changes from time to time, for the picture will look as much like one as another, and the wearer's imagination w ill do the rest. How lllntory Mlclit llitve lleen ( h inneil. An interesting "incident" of the career of the great Napoleon has been brought to light by 1'rof. Kambaud, who lias just been rewarded for his "History of Russia" with the cross of the T.egion of Honor, lionaparte, as is well known, was at one time disgusted with the slowness of his promotion and entertained serious thoughts of di recting his talents into other channels. Jiow M. Unmbaud tells us that Na poleon applied for service in the Rus sian army, but that the petition which he hud addressed to Zaborowski was rejected, as Catherine II. would not admit foreign officers on the same standing as that which they occupied in thei.- own country. Napoleon would have had to accept an inferior rank, and this he refused to do. If 1'rof. Rambuud be correctly informed, and if lionaparte had taken service in Rus sia, the whole course of the history of the century would have been changed and a whole vista of curious possibil ities would have been opened. A t mulerVut Feat. Two Americans in the employment of the government of British Columbia recently accomplished n feut hitherto deemed impossible by crossing the Sel kirk mountains in the depth of winter. The object of the trip was to asccrtuin if it were possible to layout a pack and cattle trail over the range from (olden to Kalso. The men traveled one hundred and fifty miles on snow shoes, lifty miles over the wildest mountain country, where glaciers abounded. They found a pass at an altitude of six thousand five hundred feet that is practicable for cattle and puck trains in summer. The thermom eter was below zero during- most of th trip, which ivc'iipled nearly a month.
