California Names Ending In 0.

Attention has not been called, we be-
lieve, to one peculiarity—that is, the
number of geographical names in Cali-
fornia which end with o. In this respect
this state must be awarded the champion-
ship medal, as a bi 1cf inspection of any
list of names of places will show. First,
among the 58 counties of California there
are no less than 14 which end with the
somid letter. They are El Dorado, Fres-
no, Inyo, Mendocino, Mono, Sacramento,
San Benito, San Bernardino, San Diego.
San Francisco. San Luis Obispo, San
Mateo, Solano and Y010. It is to be ob-
served _ that only a portion of .these are
named from masculine saints in the
Spanish calendar, Fresno, 'Inyo, Mono,
Solano and others being presumably In-
dian names, though the termination may
have been put on by the early Spanish
settlers. When we come to towns in
California whose names end in 0, their
name is legion. There are, among others,
Acampo, Alamo, Bernardo, Blanco,Cah-
to, Capistrano, Dccoto, Echo, E1 Casco,
Fruto, Igo, J acinto, Largo. Llano, Milo,
Mereno, Navarro, Nicasio. Ono, Paler-
mo, Philo, Rialto. Sausalito. Tropico.
Venado and Volcano.
_ In the compilation of this imperfect

catalogue‘the towns and cities named for
saints have been omitted, as the list
would be entirely too long, running from
San Antonio through most of the letters
of the alphabet to San Ysidro. There is
said to be a reason for all things, and it
is not unlikely that the names given by
the early and pious Spanish settlers to

their settlements may have sounded.

‘ A Touch of Fellow Feeling.

"We do indeed have some queer'ex-
perienccs,” said the trained nurse, tak-
ing off her white cap and giving its
dainty how a few deft, reconstructing
touches, “and many interesting and di-
verting episodes also. Not long ago I
was sent for to attend a minister’s wife
and must confess that I responded to
the call with some trepidation and ap-
prehension. It was my first experience
in a minister’s family, and I was afraid
that my patient might ask me to pray
with her or read the Bible to her, which
most excellent ofiices would be wholly
out of my line and vwould cause me
much embarrassment.

“When I reached my post of duty, I
found the minister’s wife suffering a
great deal, and my first office was to
make and apply a mustard plaster. I
concocted it with a generous and con-
scientious hand, and it must have been
pretty warm, for several "seconds after I
had deferentially applied the mustard
plaster on the person of the minister’s
wife she groaned dismally. Leaning
over her to discover,_whether her pain
had increased, I heard her murmur softly
but energetically:

“ ‘Oh, jiminyl
stand it!’

“Perhaps you can imagine how my
heart leaped toward the dear woman at
this touch of nature. - We had a delight-
ful time together when she got better.
She was a good woman, too, but like the
rest of us she had her favorite ejacula-
tions under compelling circumstances.”

The Weight of Crowds. '2'." ' '3

The load which' is produced bya dense
crowd of persons is generally taken 1117130
to 100 pounds per square foot and is con-
sidered to be the greatest uniformly dis-
tributed load for which a floor need be
proportioned. That this value may be
largely exceeded in an actual crowd was
pointed out by Professm W. C. Kernot
of the Melbourne university, Australia,

in a paper before the Victorian Institute :-

of Engineers. In an actual trial a class
of students averaging 153.5 pounds each
in weight were crowded in a lobby con-
taining 1, 823 square feet, making an av-
erage floor load of 134. 7 pounds. There
was still room to have placed another

4 man, which would have brought up the

loading to 143.1 pounds per square foot.
Professor Kernot also quoted from

Stoney, who placed 58 Irish laborers ,

averaging 158 pounds each in weight in
an empty ship deckhouse measuring 57
square feet floor area. This was a load
of 147.4 pounds per square foot. In an-
other test, with 73 laborers c1 owded into

ahut 9 feet by 8 feet 8 inches, Steney‘. '

produced a load of 143 pounds per
square foot and estimated that two or
three more men could have been squeezed
in. It appears from these experiments
that while the figures ordinarily assumed
of 80 to 100 pounds are sufiiciént—ly cor-
rect for spaces on which there is no
cause to induce the collection of great
crowds, larger figures, say 140 to 150
pounds per square foot, should be used
for railway stations and platforms, en-I
trances and exits to places of public as-
semblies or of oiiice buildings, bridge
sidewalks, pavements over vaults and
other places where dense crowds are
likely to gather.—Engineering News.

A Bashful Lord of Other Days.

There was a young lover who was a
compound—very rare—of high rank and
great abilities, with sweetness, great
modesty and shyness. Mostpnoble lords
know their own value and behave ac-
cordingly. This noble lord, however,
was modest. He thought himself so far
-—so very far—below the worth of the
young lady whom ..he loved that he was
afraid to speak. Some women - do not
understand this modesty. Believe me;
ladies, ’tis a sure and certain sign of a
noble character, because only a lofty
soul can conceive the existence of a god-
dess. We measure others, you see, by
ourselves. It is also a sure sign of love,
because such a man can only love 3. W0-
man whom he deeply respects. Encour-
age this modesty, my daughters. Above
all, do not laugh at it. This young man,
therefore, was afraid to speak, and the
delay, which'is at fiist, I am told, pleas—
ing and exciting. began to grow monoto-
nous.

One day they were playing cards for
money, after the fashion of their gen-
eration. The lady won; the loser paid.

“It is,” he said, “half a crown. Iwish
indeed it were a. crown.” -

"At least,” replied the lady,
lordship can give me a coronet. ”

And behold a miracle! For his tongue
was loosened, and his eyes glowed, and
his lips spake. They lived happy, one
may add, though it is an unusual ending

The Ostrich and Its Eggs.

I am rehearsing a. few of the peculiari-
ties of the creature which have made it
of interest ever since the days of Job,
“which leaveth her eggs in the earth and
warmeth them in the dust.” It would
appear to be an evidence of cunning
rather than stupidity for Mrs. Ostrich
to adopt this very simple method of in-
cubation. However, it has its disadvan-
tages, for while she is away gettinga
good dinner her enemy, the white necked
crow, spies the unguarded nest. He
knows he cannot break one of those
mammoth eggs and devises a. shrewd
plan to help him. Taking a stone' in his
beak he flies over the spot, calculates
with bird sagacity the necessary dis«
tance and drops the stone. Plunkl An
egg is broken, and he descends to his
feast. This is said to be the same kind
of a raven that fed the prophet Elijah.
His wisdom seems almost of a supernat-
ural order. It is said that the cry of an
ostrich is like the roar of a lion, and the
Hottentots often run from it in fright
until they see the bird—Detroit Free

A Remarkable Bedstead From Bombay.

A Bombay man has Constructed a
bedstead priced at 10, 000 rupees. It is
thus described. “It has at its four car
new four full sized, gaudily dressed
Grecian damsels—those at the head
holding banjos, \while those on the right
and left foot hold fans. Beneath the
cot is a musical box which extends the
whole length of the cot and is capable
of playing 12 charming airs. The music
begins the moment the least pressure
has been brought to hear from the top,
which is created by one sleeping or sit-

' ting, and ceases the moment the indi-

vidual rises. While . the music is in
progress the lady banjoists at the head
manipulate the strings with their fin—
gers and move their heads, while the
two Grecian damsels 'at the bottom fan
the sleeper to sleep."

Tobacco andMicrobes.

'Dr. Tassinari has published in the
Italia Termale the result of an investi-
gation into the effects of tobacco smoke
on microbes. He finds that the smoke
of the Cavour, Virginia and Tuscan ci-

gars and all black and chopped tobaccos .

possesses a very pronounced bactericide
power, especially against the bacillus of
Asiatic cholera. This microbicido action
may in all probability be attributed to
the products of nicotine. In epidemics
of cholera and typhus the use of tobacco
may be rather useful than hurtful. T04
bacco smoke merits special consideration
on the hygiene of the mouth as a pro-
phylactic means of combating microbian
affections of the buccal cavity.

!Rheumatist Guredl l:

 

FEMALE WOMAN, LADY.

 

"' .1116: Distinction Between Several Words

and How They May _Bojl'lsed. ‘ .

‘. An interesting discussionis going onin
" the" columns of some newspapers over

the use of the words “lady” and “wom-
an. ” There is no real difference as to

the occasions upon. which each Word' is.

to be used, but there is a. frank acknowl-

' _ edgment' upon the part of. some that they

do not use the word “woman” where
their good sense tells them that they
should, for fear that it might give 'of-
fense to the person to whom it was di-

. rected “as not sufficiently polite. ” ‘

There are certainly no words so abuSed
“lady” and “female. ”
Among certain people the use of the sec-
ond of these terms is like the wearing of
fine clothes 'orb'jewelry. Originally be-
longing to a superior class they insist on
appropriating it to themselves as proof
that they are the equals of any other so-
cial body. Now, while all that may be
true enough and while class distinctions
have no place in this country this

amusing confusions.

mistress, “Mam, the laundry lady is
a-wanting to speak to the woman of the

'house,” did not have to depend upon his

imagination for his facts.

As absurd things as that may be heard
in any one of the large dry goods stores
in town any day, and almost any news-
paper will yield a rich specimen or two.
Bishop Warren. referring to this same
point, says that he glanced at the wall
opposite him at the moment and saw a
diploma from the “——- Female acade.
my,” and then turned to a bookcase and
read as the title of one of the volumes
there, “Female Holiness." In the report
of a southern woman’s Christian tern?

perance union cenvention appears the'

fact that "Mrs. Blank was chairlady._”
Now the proper word in all this is
"woman.” That is alvvays and over
right. Than it there is no nobler or
stronger word in the English language.
“Man” is a general word as well as a
particular one, and as such includes both
sexes, so that the term “chairman" sig-

nifies no subservience of one sex to the

domination of the other. If called upon
to address a stranger, a woman, then. the
proper word is “madam” and not “lady,
this way” and “lady, that way,” as so

‘ many ushers. appear to think to be the

only solution to the problem of address.

“Female” is never to be usedas a sync-
nym of “woman." It is a term common
to one-half of the animal creation, and to
apply it to woman as the substantive of
designation is an insult. “Lady” is ap-
plicable to every well bred and educated
woman, but it is something that is re.
served rather for social usage and has
not the sturdy strength and nobility of

“woman.”——Boston Journal.

With reference to the protective effect
of certain colors against the sun '5 ray
years ago on my way to India the 890013
time, having already been invalided
home once from the effects of the sun,
it occurred .-to me to try the photogra-
pher’s plan. .-,-I reasoned to myself that
since no one ever got sunstroke or sun
fever from exposure to a dark source of
heat or even to one which, though lumi‘
nous, possessed no great degree of chem-
ical energy—the furnaces in the arsenal.
for example—it could not be the heat
rays, therefore, which injured one. but
must be the chemical'ones only.

If therefore one treats one’s own body
as the photographer treats his plates
and envelops one’ 3 self in yellow or

dark red, one ought to be pracfically so. ‘

cure, and since the photographer lined
the inside of his tents and belongings
with yellow it was obviously immaterial
whether one wore yellow inside'or out.
I had my hats and coats lined-with yel-
low, and with most satisfactory'results,
for during five years and even extreme
exposme never once did the yellow lin-

ing fail me, but every time that either .

through carelessness or overconfidence
I forgot the precaution a very short ex-
pOSure sufliced to send me down with

the usual sun fever. Many friends tried »

the plan and all with the same satisfacs

Sleeping Under Feathers.

Years ago we used to smile with con-
scious superiority at the idea of the
Dutch sleeping under a feather bed in-
stead of over it. The idea of sleeping
upon a hard mattress and climbing ‘un‘
der a. soft one seemed rather an ana~
chronism and a singular perversion of
common sense, but the introduction of
down or feather comfortables is simply
the utilization of that knowledge of
things which some of the older countries
had long ago known. Feathers are ex-
ceedingly warm, and a covering made of
them supérinduces and retains the heat
in the human body.

A curious claim' is now made for a new
comfortable of down. The makers as—
sert that their product retains all the

natural warmth, but allows the impure

air to escape from the bed, how or
wherefore we are not informed. --—Up-

velocity of the Earth. '

The highest velocity attained by a can-
non ball has been estimated at 1, 622- feet
per second, which is equal toamile in
3.2 scoonds. The velocity of the earth
at the equator, due to .itsrotation on its
axis, is 1,000 miles per second, or a mile
every 3. 6 seconds. Therefore it hasbeon
calculated that if a cannon ball were:
figed due west, and that it could main-
tain its initial velocity for 24 hours, it'

would barely beat the sun in its ap-

parent journey around the earth. —Phlla-
