ADVERTISING RATES LOW. m - I This is a great country, and in nothing ft. greater than the diversity and remarkabl t oftginality of the names bestowed on some of the towns. Sometimes these are J embarrassing, but the San Francisco Chronicle shows how unpleasant sugges j Hons may be avoided : t 'Some day when I the'people begin to study . the Bomencla- ture of this country they will be puzzled J. considerably to tell where some of the 1 names came from. Quite likely they will go clear away back centuries before '49 i and prove that America must have been i known to the ancient Assyrians. There f - will be lotsof fun for the future archaeol 1 7 "ogists." There is a station on one of tht J railroads, ; and a town with a church, a ealoon and the usual camp followers of civilization,- which bears the euphonious name of Eltopia. The ancient Greeks may, perhaps, be held responsible for it in the future, but the plain fact is that a congregation and a minister wandered out to that place and found it all too incor venient to address their religious reports from a place bearing the name given to it by the miners of Hell to Pay,." so they changed it into Eltopia." Police Sergeant - Brooks, who nour ished the Department of Information at infancy and brought.it up to be a neces sity at the New York Police Headquar ters, has compiled ax statistical table, Vhich is interesting as pending to show how erratic are the habits of some of Gotham's people. It is to this depart ment that all mysterious, disappearances are reported. The method adopted to discover person lost is to telegraph a description to all police precints, exam ine the records at the morgue and hos pitals and inform the press. From Ser , geant Brook's table it is learned that about 600 persons are. reported as miss ing each year. Of these 100 are between the ages of fourteen and twenty, 200 be tween, twenty and. thirty, 100 between thirty and forty, 100 between forty and fifty and,100 fifty and over. About seventy-five per cent, are males and belong to the poorer classes. An average of ninety per centis accounted for. The cues of disappearance are domestic difficulties, home restraints, lack ol work, debauches, mental aberation arid occasionally defaults and-. embezzle ments. - f Faintin?. The word swoon means the. same '.as the medical term syncope. It is due to "irthe 'failure . of the heart to send the 'necessary supply of blood to the braiu. It may be partial, or complete. In the f latter case, the .person suddenly turns pale, and soon falls, with a loss of con sciousness and ah apparent stoppage ol the pulse and heart, fv The breathing, too, is either imperceptible, or occurs only in occasional weak sighis. The patient, to the ordinary observef, may seem to be. dead. Of course the action of the heait has not ceased, but it is feeble. This condition may last only a few moments, or it may continue for hours. It gener . ally ends in recovery, beginning" with slight movements of the features and hands, and deep sighing. The pulse becomes more distinct, and the heart beat stronger. Golor andwarmth return, and consciousness is gradually restored in full. Among the caUse3 are organic disease oi the heart, especially fatty degeneration, extreme heat, combined with impure airj loss of blood, or impoverished blood (as in anaemia) ; the reflex action of certain conditions of the stomach or - other " or- gans on the .heart. More or les3 of these causes are sometimes combined; Some persons faint from very slight cause; an unpleasant sight or odor. We have known persons to faint easily and often, and yet enjoy good health to extreme age. But when fainting is due to or ganic disease of the heart, or to loss oi blood, or to extreme heat, it may prove speedily fatal unless soon relieved. In its treatment, lay the patient fiat or the back. This favors the flow of blood the brainy We had friend who could generally anticipate an attack, and check it, or cut it short, by at once taking a re cumbent position. Never allow one who has fainted to be lifted into a sitting pos ture, or to have even the head raised. Ii .theNfainting is due to excessive loss ol blood, this, of course, must be arrested ' Meanwhile manage to place the heac lower than the rest of the body. Tht heart, too, should be stimulated witt some form of alcohol, ammonia, ether, oi cologne-water. In all cases, 'secure tht purest air, and loosen the dress, espe cially about the chest and. neck. , A writer in the Lancet says that ir many cases a person accustomed to f ainl from slight causes may avert the attaci by applying heat to the head.

Hunter "Mac Culloch, in Lippincotts MISS FORTUNE'S ROMANCE. It was a hot day in May one of tHos early hot days that are so exhausting and Miss Fortune Wayland, tired with that provoking- kind of shopping that consists in "matching things," turned into a fashionable ladies' restaurant for rest and refreshment. She was a calm, equable girl, not readily irritated, but ii was a trifle annoying to have her quiet interrupted by the rustling, laughing,' and chattering of the very two ghi9 whose company at that hour she would most of all. have deprecated. . For she was dusty and heated, and not in her freshest toilet, and fda Vincent and Kate Croye had just stepped from their carriage in all the lustre and freshness of elegant spring costumes. : They, ;of course, could afford to be pleasant; it was a much harder thing for Fortune to smile and say: "is it really you? I am glad to see you." They sat down together, and began' to eat ices, and discuss toilets and summer plans. "We were going to urope," said Ida, with a charming frankness, "but some one is going- to the Braneil, and of course ' we follow in bis wake. Mamma thinks he admires me, and I am under orders to captivate him." . , 'Tknow whom you mean, Ida; there is really no heed for ydu to affect secrecy, t is Ray Symington. My mamma thinks he admires me, and I am under orders to captivate him also." ! And pray who is Ray Symington?! As if VOU did not knnAV. Fort n in M Why, your father is his lawyer. He haa been back for a month, and was at the Nobles' and the Hilliards' and" f "Now I know whom you mean,", said Fortune. "He used to come a great deal to out house before he went abroad. That is six years since. I was only s. school-girl then, but from what I re member of Ray Symington I think he will aeverfall in love with any woman excepl, one made to order. However, he does uot concern me; I have fringes on my mind at present. So I will say good-bv, girls." f" "Wait a quarter of an hour, and wc will take you as far as Aitkin's." - "Thanks; I cannot wait; I am to mt mamma and Gertrude at Madamo D cimers. Adieu." Fortune was walking down Broadway Attain &na this time without the least aense of heat or fatigue. She was calling Jo remembrance some autumn days six years ago, when she had . first seen Ray Symington. What a happy September nd October it had been !, She had come Into town early in order to enter school At the commencement of the session, and had been alcne with her father. During ihese days Ray had been much . with them, and she had sat listening happUy to his travels by land and sea, and Heard ' oim discuss with Mr. Wayland scientific ubjects in which both were interested. How often bad she brought them tea' or ,2offee while they sat talking, and what pleasant words and looks he had given her! . Nay, there had been something more than this, One night when Mr. Wayland had been called out on business, and they two sat alone by the little, opeii fire tjiat the chili October night made necessary, Ray had held her hand and said, sorrow fully: "Fortune, will you forget me when go over the sea, and never remember the pleasant nights we three have had together?" "If they were pleasant, why do you go away?" she asked, softly. - 'You almost tempi me to ask to stay; mlT TT All 1 -l . .v.-j JUu aiesu joung u wouia De untair. I am an old man, child, traveled and dis illusioned; it would be unfair. You must see the world first, Fortune; and then . and then if you remember me, ah, how happy I shall be! Give me the rose at your belt, dear child. Perhaps you will think of me till it withers." "I shall never forget you." . . ' x. But Ray either misdoubted the young,' inexperienced heart, or he feared to trust the future with it. He only kissed? the rose, and kissed the hand that gave it, and in an hour there was an end of For tune's young romance. . f Perhaps just in this very hour her good fate had turned toward her, for if hat she had failed to find andv failed to I do; aU morning now came easily to her hand; -i and even such straws as finding the exact trimming wanted! may show that the con trary wind has changed and a ; favoring gale sprung up. She was not conscious of jreasoninfir in this way, but she felt a chlinge, and under its influence looked so bright and happy that, "when she met' he" mother and sister at Madame De-, rimers, Sirs. Wayland chose to feel irri tated at it. ; c I'Ypuare so contradictious, Fortune V she said. "Here you arej looking as fresh and happy as possible, while poor Gertrude and I are worried to death.

THE HUMORIST TELLS OP VARIOU8 AJBIaE-BODIED CYCXONES. Stories which. Show the Power of -i the Western Wind, Both in Na ture and in Man. We were riding along on the bounding "train in Wisconsin, and some one spoke of the free and democratic way that peo ple in this country got acquainted with each other while traveling. Then we got to talking about railroad sociality and railroad etiquette, when a young man from East Jasper, who had wildly jumped and grabbed bis valise every time the train hesitated, said that it was queer what railroad travel would do in the way of throwing people together. He said that in; Nebraska once he and a large, corpulent gentleman, both total stran gers, were thrown together while trying to jump a washout, and an intimacy sprang up between them that ripened into open hostility. From that we got to talking about natural phenomena and storms. I spoke of the cyclone with some feeling and a little bitterness, perhaps,' briefly telling my own experience, and making the storm as loud and wet and violent as pos sible. Then a gentleman from Kansas named George D. Murdock, an old cattleman, was telling of a cyclone that came across his range two years ago last September. The sky was clear to begin- with, and then all at once, as , Mr. Murdock states, a little cloud no larger than a man's hand might have been! seen. It moved toward the southwest gently, with its hands in j its pockets for a few moments, and then Mr. Murdock discovered that it was, of a pale green color, ab put sixteen hands vhighJ with dark blue mane and tail. About a mile from where he stood the cyclone, with great force, swooped down and with a muffled roar swept a quarter section of land out from under a heavy mortgage without injuring the mortgage in the least. He says the peo- f pie came for miles the following day to see the mortgage, still on file at the onice of the Register of Deeds, and just as good as ever. , --.-, Then a gentleman named Bean, of Western j Minnesota, a man who went there in an early day and homesteaded it when his .nearest neighbor was fifty miles away, spoke of a cyclone that visited his county bef ore the telegraph ' or railroad had penetrated that part of the State! j Mr. Bean said it was very clear up to, the moment that he noticed a cloud in the . north-west no longer than a man's hand. Iti sauntered "down in a south' westerly direction like a cyclone that had all summer to do its chores in. Then; it gave two quick snorts and a roar, wiped out of existence all, the farm buildings he had, sucked thewell dry,soured all the milk in the milk house, and spread deso lution allj over that; quarter-section But Mr; Bean said that the most remarkable thing he remembered was this : He had dug about a pint of angle-worms that morning, j intending to go over to the lake toward evening andf catch a. few perch. But when the cyclone came it picked up those angle-worms and drove them head first through his new grind stone without injuring the worms or im pairing the grindstone. He would have had the grindstone photographed, he said, if the angle-worms could have been kept still long enough. He said that they were driven just far enough through to hang on the other . side like a, Lambrequin. The cyclone is certainly a wonderful phenomenon, its movements are so er ratic, and in direct violation of all known rule3. i ; ' Mr. Louis P. Barker, of Northern Ohio, was also on the car1, and he de scribed a cyclone that he; saw in the seventies along in September at the close of a hot, clear, day. The first intimation that Mr.! Barker had of ah apprdaching storm was a small cloud no larger than a pan's hand, which he discovered moving slowly toward the Southwest with a; gyratory j movement. It then appeared to be a funnel-shaped cloud, which passed along near the surface of the ! ground with its apex now and then j lightly touching a barn or a well and pulling it out by the roots. It would then bound lightly into the air and spit on its hands. What he noticed most carefully on the following day Was the wonderful evidences of its powerful suc tion. It (sucked a milch cow entirely dry, pulled all the water out of his cis tern, and then went around to the waste- pipe that led from the bath room and drew a two-year-old child, who was taking a bath at the time, clear down through the two-inch waste-pipe, a dis tance of 150 feet. He had two inches of the ,pipej with him and. a lock of hair from the child head. If is such circumstances as these, com ing to us from the mouths of eye-witnesses, that lead us to exclaim : How prolific is nature and how wonderful are all her works including poor, weak man ! Man, who comes into the world clothed in a little brief authority, per haps, and nothing else to speak of. He rises upjin the morning, prevaricates, and diesj Where are our best liars to day? Look for them where you will and you will find that they are passing away. Go into the cemetery and there you will find them mingling with the dust, but striving still to perpetuate their business by marking their tombs with a gentle prevarication, chiseled in enduring stone. I have' heard it intimated by people who seemed to know, what they were talking about that truth is mighty . and will prevail, but I do not sea much show for her till the cyclone season is over BUI Nye in Chicago News.

Balwin has had the reputation of having the finest cars for the transportation of his horses.' Mr. R. P. Ashe, the well-known Califor nia turfman, has just had a car built that for elegance; comfort and convenience is far ahead of the cars of the Santa Anita stable. This car was built in California at a cost of $6,000. It has been named A.lta after the celebrated racehorse be longing to Mr. Ashe. In appearance it very much resemblies a Pullman palace car. It is seventy feet long from buffer) to buffer, and the interior from one end to the other measures a little less than sixty-five feet.-N It has commodious quarters for fourteen horses and as man men. The stalls are so arranged that theyp can be changed around so that the neces-i, sity of the horses standing long in the; same position will be averted. Along the " sides of the car over the horse? are bunks which accommodate the me a. Th6so bunks, when not in use, are doubled up the same as the sleeping-car berth. In one corner of the car there is a neat little range. There is also ample room for a folding table. The sides of the car are very heavily padded to prevent the horses being injured bythe jolting of wheels The quarters for the men and racers take up about, thirty-eight feet of the car. In the other part, which is separated by a, partition through which a door is cut, are Mr. Ashe's private apartments, which are fitted up in drawing-room style. There are two berths, one for Mr. Ashe, the other for his private secretary, Mr. W. J. ijastings. All the furniture i of mahog any and covered with rich plush. Thd carpet is of velvet. There are two largo1 mirrors on the sides of the car and a few costly paintings, The faucets, etc, art aU silver plated. The door that openi out on the platform is almost all glasi and the windows are all large.

The shore fishing; of the Provinces, on the Atlantic side, is of sufficient importance to bring the United States and its neighbors to the verge of a quarrel, bat it is a small matter1 compared with the opportunities open in the Northwestern waters on this side of the continent. The mackerel, fishing, which is the present matter of dispute, is of less importance than the Banks codfishing, yet the . whole extent of the Newfoundland Banks is only, about 0,000 square miles, while in the Pacific and Okhotsk we have 300,000 square miles, in Behring Sea almost as, much more, -and around the Choumagia - Islands 80, 000 i altogether nearly tea times thp area of the Atlantic Banks. The total money value per annum of the fisheries on the Banks and off the east coast of the British North American Provinces is in vthe neighborhood of, $25,000,000, which embraces the catch of the vesels of all nations resorting there. When the fisheries of the North Pacific are developed to anything like the extent; of those of the North Atlantic they will ; form one of the' great industries of thi coast. iSan Francisco C!nR. - -j PTllil SILENT )M M t i t jri- i i
