Miujr, if not » majority, of the names ot 800 or 900 girls Irooi the pablio , sellout* eraiuineil for admission to the normal gives us the iaipreaaii n that tkej belong f,o mere household pets rather than to young woman who are approaching; maturity, and who are en gaged io serious work. These girls ap parrntlj prater the nicknames by which they arc known io the family cirole and ; to intimate friends, and therefore take puiuw to ndopt thorn in thfcir signatures. Ins:d>ing, the ptiblio school girls are not rx-eptional among our young women, lor it in quits ths fashion now-a --d»)« for them to grow so enauisured of j t' air narxery appellations that they cling to tbem as their Bxed and proper names i They may even be offended when they are addressed by tbeir oorreot names, ■ which they imagine loss pretty than theso pet diminutives ; and soma grave, grown up women will put Hattie or J | Gusaie, Mamie or Hsllie on their oards as if they were in pinafores still. The fashion is American ; but our pa triotism can not make us grow fond of It. The nicknames whieh appear in so large a share of these public school girl'* signatures would do very woll for pats at a dog-show. When they are axed to «»piwi tha near friend' and relatives, they also may be pretty and appropriate, but they look very silly ia a formal signature, and sure ly do not befit the dignity of woman hood Ws find, for instance, among these 800 nsoiea soores of Minnies or Mamies, and only her aud there a Mary, a much ! more euphonious and dignified name. Jane ia transformed usually into Jenny Caroline into Carrie, Kllen to Ella, Elis abeth into Lissie and Bessie, Kather ine into Katie, Mirtba into Mattie. Margaret into Maggie, Anne and Anna ! into Annie, and Harrie into Hattie Such absurb names as these appear quite frequently : Chattie, Lillie Millie. Tillie, Kittie, Hosie, Nettie, Bibbie, Aggie and Maggie. The geeat aim aeema to be to manu faoture a name whiob enda in ie, and in ( accomplishing it the finest appellations for women who have names renowned I in poretry and history, and. of a awect and molodious sound, are chopped ap into childish diminutives. They convey j an idea of prettineaa, and do not beloog to girls of dignity and character—girl* ] like those who are going to the normal college, so many of whom will have their living to earn. And yet these girls think it ia pretty tn be known by such pet nsmee, and si dileard, as ugly and old fashioned, the namea by w'uich they are chriatened. Whs; would they think to aee a college register wbicb give the yoang men's names aa Jimmie, Billie, Bobbie, Tommie, Charlie, Samie and Diokie This faabioa ia etteo ding among wo men, and girla are even named with > nicknamae only, aa if they were alwaya to he nothing more than nursery pets | And yet thia is a peried when women •re contending fer higher oonsideratin as rational beings, and when the range of their occupations outside of the domes tie cirole is ooastaotlj widenitfg and growing ia importance.— N.

About midnight the emergency arrived. The Wolverine heard some ons in his room, and he reasoned that robbery and mur der could he tbe only excuse Out name the revolver and he blacrd away at a dim figure until he had fired six bullets. After the last oa* a voice inquired : "Stranger, have you got through shootin' ?" "Who is i:, aod what do you want ?" demanded tho traveler. ' It's me," replied tbe farmer. "The old woman's got the tooth-ache till she can't rest, and I come to ask ye fur a pinch of that fins-out tobaeker a* a rem edy I was jest goin' to ipeak when ye blazed away with yer popuon." "Aod I might have killed you f" "Yes, about one chance in a million. Say, stranger, let m« gin ye a piece of j advice." "Well." 'Trade that popgun off fur a fifteen cent drink aud buy ye a knife When ye hit with a knife the splinter* bss got , to fly, but whsn ye begin sbootin' wilh ; sich irons as tbst ys are apt to spile sll tbe old woman's red peppeta or shoot your own thumb* off Tbe fellers around here bave bii\ poppin' away at me fur three year* hack, and the only damage they ever did was to knock a bind but ton off my eoat."
