HYPMCNATED NAMES.
A STOLEN SECRET.
Imm At nln Oilier Simply Stand
Wr tiwbktrj-Hw to DiUln-uUh.
Hyphe lated name iu Europe may be
ivided into two categories uainely
those wherein the hyphen is a more piece
of snobbery and affectation and those
wherein it i comseo-ieut npon a legal
obligation. The latter are iu the minor-
ity and are borne almost invariably by
legatee and their descendants who have
inherited property usually real estate'
contingent npon their tacking the uame
of the tux tat or on to their owu. or eke
they are men who have married heiresses
and been accepted an husbands for the
latter on the condition that they should
append the family name o their wives
to their owu patronymic.
People in the other category who use
the hyphen merely with the object of
creating the impression that they are of
more ancient lineage than is really the
case invariably prefix instead of ap-
pending the additional name and it is
this that enables one to distinguish the
"bona fide donble barrel " as Lord Ran-
dolph Churchill used to call them from
those who are not for you have only to
ask Mr. Pousori by-Jones for the name of
his paternal grandfather in order to find
oat that the old gentleman was a simple
Jones devoid of the aristocratic Pouson-
by whereas in the caso of surnames
adopted in deference to testamentary
dispositions one will invariably find on
inquiry that the paternal" grandfather
and ancestors bore the lirst of the two
patronymics.
The persons who make nse of hyphen-
ated names without being compiled to
do so are usually the owners of patro-
nymics excruciatingly plebeian who
hope vainly it is true to redeem the
commouplace character of their name by
prefixing thereto one calculated they
trust to create the impression that they
are connected with some of the great
houses of the nobility. Thus it is quite
common to find Moiitmorency-Siuiths

RUMSEY'S STEAMBOAT.
Records Which Show That It Antedated
Fultou's Product by Twenty-two Years.
The records of Jefferson comity V.
Va. prove what is not generally known
that Roliert Fulton was not the first
man to build a fctt-auiliout in this coun-
try. He was anticipated over 2'i years
by James Ruuicy of Charleston Va.
now West Virginia. Rumsey's steam-
boat was partly constructed in Frederick
county. Mil. in 1 7 fs It was fitted up
with machinery jiartly manufactured at
a fnrnace called "Th (Vxis-tin Fur-
nace "owned by Johiison Brothers and
located near the town of Frederick.
The two cylinders the boiler. pumps
pipes etc. wera built in Baltimore.
Part of the work was done at the old
Antietam Iron wot its Rumsey's boat
was 80 feet in length :n:d it was pro-
pelled by an engine which worked a
vertical pump placed iu the center of the
vessel. The water w;is drawn in at the
bow and forced out at the stern through
a horizontal pipe. The cut ire weight of
the machinery was W't muds and
the tonnage of the vessel w:-.s three tons.
The entire machinery including the
boiler etc. took up a pace of very lit-
tle over 4 feet square.
The first public experiment took place
on the Potomac river on March 14 1780
when the boat showed a sjeed of four
miles an hour up stream. The records of
Jefferson county also show that George
Washington and Governor Thomas John-
son of Maryland were among the jiat-
rons of Ramsey and that the exiieriiueut
was made in the interest of the then
proposed Chesapeake and Ohio canaL
New York World.
Ha Coald Ba Indifferent.
It isn't every man that owns a silk
hat but it is the dream of every very
young man's life to possess one. A
young man in our end of town went to
the matinee with the only girl he ever
really loved and he wore a silk hat.
He put it under the seat carefully and
the next -ersou who came in gave it a
kick that practically ruined it. Most
young fellows would have hail a fit right
there but this one said nothing at alL
He was so philosophical that the girl
was channed. As they came out of the
theater they met another young man
and the three went to get some soda
water. The girl told about the young
man's hat and how philosophical he
was:
"Why do you know Jack" she said
"Charley didn't even look annoyed. It
was lovely."
"Umph" said Jack with fire in his
eye "it's all right for him to lie lovely
but it's my hat 1"
It is just such little things as this that
wreck the friendship of a lifetime

Oue of the mountain jx-uks of north
Wales is known it the C'liair of Idrin or
Cader Idriu aa the Vehh people call it
because ita top ia hollowed oat like an
immense conch. According to locul tra-
dition whoever Kix-nds a niht iu the
Chair of Idris will on the following
morning be dead raving inad or en-
dowed with the loftiest poetical insiir:t-
tion. No one tieenu to know exactly who

proportion with his celebrated "chair."

Bow MInUter Jewell Learned to Malta
Russia Leather.
Jewell like all men brought op to
learn a trade aud who afterward (rained
prominence In affairs made now aud
then uucouKcions revelations of his early
training. During oue of the campaign
in which lie was engaged he found him-
self at a country hotel where the table
was bonntcons but the rooms few r.tid
small. It was necessary iu order that the
whole party might be housed for each
bed to be ot-cupied by two persons. The
governor's roommate was n young poli-
tician who could not hide his sunrise
whra the governor jnst before retiring
rolled the sleeves of his night shirt even
aa-far up as his shoulders and then
bathed his arms in cold water
"You wouder why I do this" said
the governor. "Well I coulibi't sleep
unless I did. When I was a youngster
learning the tanners trade I used to
have my arras in the vats all day long
and at uight my skin would smart as
though I had been stung by nettle. I
could not lear to have any cloth touch
them. So I got the habit of rolling my
shirt sleeves as far as I could and thni
I have slept ever since. "
When Jewell wits minister to Russia
he played a Yankee trick upon the Rus-
sians the benefits of which we are reap-
ing even to thia day in this country.
Like every other American tauuer be.
had long wauted to know the secret of
the process of manufacturing Russian
leather. He had eiixriinenteil with a
few dollars himself only to learn thr-.l
the wvret w:is not to lie discovered.
When at the court f iSt. Petersburg
he profes.Mil great interest in Russian
industries iuid Wits shown through many
of the matinfacturic there. By and by
there came an opportunity to go through
a factory when' Russia leather was iiimii-
nfactnred. Jewell was all smile and
courtesies and seemed profonudly inter-
ested iu those things which really did
not interest him and wholly blind to tha
very things ho went to that place to
see. But he was not so blind as they
thought. When ho came out of that fac-
tory he had discovcnnl as ho lielievcd
the process and he brought the discov-
ery back to this country with hiiu i
that by and by the I'nitiil Mates began
to turn out a very gin si urticleof lea t lief

A HISTORICAL MYTH.
The Story of tirneral Jackson's Cotton Ilala
Breastworks a l'leasing fiction.
There are few of tho schoolboys of
several generations preceding tho pres-
ent who do not remember ls-iug taught
that (ieneial Jackson won the battle of
New Orleans by throwing up a breast
work of cot tou bales and meeting the
British assault liehiud tliein.
A dramatic a .-ount of this wail in all
tho school histories and several others
and the novelty of tho affair appealed
vividly to the imagination. The cold
facts of later history prove this all to
have Is-eu fiction. Henry Adams in his
history of M.wlisou'sadmiuistratioii de-
scrilss the 1 iii tie of New Orleans and
mentions no such feature. McMaster
in his latest volume refers to the story
in a note only to say that there were two
or three cotton bales used iu (Hie place
and they were either set on fire oi
knocked out at once.
Jackson's line of breastworks was of
earth irregularly thrown up and of vary-
ing height along its leugtli. Thetraiued
sharps! looters of the west did great work
as marksmen behind it and so gulled
the heavily laden British troops that they
had no alternative but to be shot or re-
treat liefore the American line.
The schoolbook story used to be that
the Americans lost six killed and seven
wounded. McMaster places the figure
of killed and wounded at 70. The Brit-
ish it seems were uot all repulsed ac-
cording to the popular sty. The right
lino of the American troops was drive
in and the British left advanced a mile
in the rear of Jackson on the way U.
New Orleans.
He was really flanked by this succcwi
but the terrific slaughter he inflicted up-
on the British iu the center involving
the death of the first and second generals
in command completely dispirited them
and induced the return of that wing of
their army that was on the way to the
city. Boston Herald.
Lincoln aad the Ulghwnriuaaj.
The following in a story of Abraham
Lincoln which if it in not true a it
probably is not is at leat entitled to a
place iu legendary literature: Lincoln
was once Titling along a lonely road
when an ill looking man who held a
cocked revolver t-uilileulv faced hiiu.
"What do you want my frietid?"
Lincoln akeiL
"I am going toahoot you" answered
the m:tn.
"Well" wtid Lincoln "I d.ai't mind
being killol but I nhould like to know
your reason . "
"I one vowed" said the man "that
if I ever met a man homelier than I am
I would blioot him."
Liiithi looked critically nt hi asaail-
ant for a minute and then Maid:
"Well if I am any homelier than you
are. then for pity'a sake fchoot !"
Making Slvady I'rogrraa.
"Yes hir."hjtidthe lig liainxl board-
er "I am fully satistid iu hit own
miud that woman should lie vested with
all the privileges of man. "
"I don't M-e why Mie slionlim't be

"She has bevu -oatel the same as man
and if this bicycle business Li-e)sou ahe
