Correspondence. '
Dr. McCosh resigned the presi
dency of . Princeton University in
1888, and Dr. Patton -of the' Theo
logical Seminary was unanimously
chosen to succeed him.
: Frances L. Patton, D. D., LL. D.,
was born in Warwick Bermuda,
Jan., 22, 1843. He received his
classical education, at University
College, Toronto, Ont, and was
graduated from Princeton Theology
ical Seminary in 1865. He' has
been pastor of the -Eighty-fou.rth
Street Church j near New York pity;!
South Presbyterian Church, Brook
lyn and Jefferson Park (Presbyterian1
Church, Chicago. For several years
he was editor of the Interior and
was Professor of Theology in Chi
cago from 1871-81. Jn 1831 he
was called to Princeton Theological
Seminary, as Professor of Science
and Philosophy in their relation to
religion. He still discharges -the
duties' of this Chair, in addition to
his duties as President and Professor
in the College., Dr. Patton is one
of the most influential members of
the Northern Presbyterian Church.
He and Dr. Worfield of Princeton,
were the leaders of the anti-Revision
party in the warm discussion prior
to the Assembly of 1890. He
wielded more influence than any
other member of the Saratoga As-'
con-
sumate skill and judgement that
the threatened schism was averted
and not a doctrine of Calvanistic
system touched.
The following description, copied
from the University for Feb. 1888,
is true to life:
"He is thin, spare,.feebly framed,
but tall and erect,- with sunken
cheeks, mild grayish blue eyes,
frown Pee"ng thoughtfully through spec
tacles, thick straight hair, of the pe
culiar nondescript hue which is
neither brown nor flaxen, worn in
ordinary shape, not long nor
brushed behind his ears; side whis
kers, tinged here and there with
gray, a wide straight nervous
mouth, a prominent aquilin nose,
and a large broad forehead, some
what furrowed."
During his three years adminis
tration the success of Prineeton has
been phenomenal. The number of
students has increased from about
500 to nearly 900, and Improvement rents

WHAT A BOY SAYS.
He Thinks Girls Are a "Blamed Mis-

Girls are a nuisance in a family
where there is a boy. They are al
ways breaking something and lay
ing it on him. If they are going

we acquired Alaska there were ma- an hour and a half at least. You
ny who beliyed the United States can eo into anv house where a drl
were throwing away $7,200,000 of liveB and lift up the mat before the
good money lor . wnicn no proper
equivalent would ever be realized.
Alaska was regarded as a region of
glaciers and jinaeeesible mountain
ranges, -with iome fish not worth
catching and a little timber that
would not pay the cpst of market
ing. That iti possession carried
with it some strategic value was
deemed probable, but there were few
who believed; that the bargain was a
good one from a pecuniary point
of view.
A recent census bulletin, howev
er, dispels this illusion completely.
The shipment of fur seal skins since
1867, the yedr in which Alaska was
acquired, has reached $83,000,000,
and of other : furs, $16,00000total
fur output. of $49,000,000. : The sal
mon and cod fisheries have , netted
$10,000,000j and the gold mines,
$4,000,000; making the total pro
duct of the Territory in the twenty
three years $63,000,000; not a bad
return oh the original investment.
Whatever may befall the seal
fisheries the income from the sal
mon and cod fisheries is certain to
be much greater in the future than
in the past. The rivers fairly swarm
with salmon, and now that the Co
lumbia river and its tributaries are
becoming depleted the canneries are
moving to Alaska. The cod fisher
ies of the Pacific coast are only in
their infancy, but they are known
to be reryvaluable. About $700,-
000 annually is taken from the gold
mines, an output that is certain to
increase with the decline of the gold
deposits in California. There , is a
vast extent of gold producing terri
tory in Alaska awaiting develop
ment. If Secretary Seward were
alive now' he would not be called
upon to apologize for the purchase
of Alaska. ,.

scarcely any carpet left there. Girls
are allowed to come in at the front
door, while the boys have to go
round to the. back door day or.
night. I They can stay Git of school
any time they want to, I but a boy
can not unless he plays truant. If
girls wapt to go out at i night with
tbe boys they tell their folks that
they are going to church, ; but if a
boy tells his folks that they - think
he is lying to them. Girls can go
to their brother's bureau and mix
everything up and read bis letters
ar;d then plague -him-about them.
Then they are mad at him if he
scolds about it. When he goes to
his sister's bureau to "get something
she took out of his, she makes a
noise like some wild ; animal and
scares the life out of 'them. . Girle
are always on hand when there is
any candy brought into the house
and eat it all up before; their brother
gets ar,ouud. And if the folks ever
want to go out to'spend the evening
their brother has to stay with them,
because they are afraid to stay alone.
If ever a bo v smokes, his sister is
always-around somewhere to see
him and goes home and tells his
father and mother, and then he gets
a scolding, all on her account; and
then she will want him to go to the
store three times a week for tea-lead
to do her hair up on. One boy is
worth three girls. "Now, boys, this
is all true, for I have two sisters my

The Abuse of Titles.
Philadelphia Times. " i . "
A correspondent inqunes about r
the origin and meaning of tha : title- ; ;
of Esquire that is so commonly used
in addressing peoplej in this conn?
try. Strictly speaking, the title strict
ly speaking Jbelongs to justices ;or.
the peace and to no others, and its .
common use in addressing people -
is not- only un warranted, but exhib
its bad taste, i
The title of Esquire once had
distinct and well understoed mean
ing in England, but even there wher
titles are of moment,; that of Esquire--has
lost all its distinctiveness because
of its general application. Indeed
there as here the writer of a letter
as a rule, regards the indisoriminato
use of the title of Esquire as ; nec-
essary lo a proper expression of re
spect, unless the person, addressed
is entitled to some more conspicu
ous title, and the result is that Es
quire no longer means anything but.
an empty mockery of honor.
The only proper and certainly th
most genteel manner to addrees an
American citizen is by the prefix of"
"Mr.," unless he has attained civil
or military honors which? entitle
.him to v special distinction. It
proper to use any military title that
the person addressed has achieved -or
to sse the prefix of "Hon." when
it fairly expresses oivil distinction
but the use of "Mr.," for gentlemen
and of "Miss" or "Mrs', for . ladies,
are the only prefixes which should
conduct.
