TOO MANY JONESES. In Wales They Cannot Tell Them by Names Alone. At a. meeting of the Cymmrodor- ion society. Mr. T. E. Morris, bar- risterâ€"at-law, lectured before a. re- presentative audience on the incon- ivenience and confusion arising from the paucity of distinctive surnames In Wales, says the London Chronicle. In Liverpool alone, he said, 430 ‘Welshmen rejoiced in the name of John Jones, and at an inquiry held at Westminster into the county council water scheme sixteen wit- nesses bore the same simple cognoâ€" men. Before the Welsh land com- mission, out of 134 witnesses in one county who gave evidence, 109 shar- od 14 surnames between them, and of the 109 as many as 65 bore proâ€" portionately the names of Jones, Evans and Davies. Recently at the Corwen board of guardians, owing to the numerous Jonescs who are members of that body. it was decided to enter in the minutes each man's house and parish, as his full name was not sufficiently distinctive. To remedy this state of things, Mr. Morris advocated the liberal adop- tion of the beautiful place names which abound in Wales, as was done in Scotland and Norway, and the revival of the characteristic "Ap” with personal surnames. He pointed out that the law allowed any man to change his surname, provided that it was done honestly and without any fraudulent purpose. and his sugâ€" gestion was that a short, act of Par- liament should be passed enabling any person to register a change of his name with the district registrar on payment of a small fee. In this way an authentic and offlCIal record of the change would be made at the time. -â€"â€"+â€"â€"â€" "’Bohby, your immune tellsme you are a very bright boy, and she ex- pects you to be a great man," said Mr. Blossom. as he sat in the parlor Waiting for .Bobby's sister. "Ma. never does ’spect nothin' right. She doesn't know What she’s talkin' iabout. She told pa she 'spected you and my sister would be mar- .r'ied 'fore spring, and that was moro’n a. year ago."

Cured.â€"~He Himself Had Suffer- ' ed for 25 Yearsâ€"Hope for Ap- parently Hopeless Cases. _ Economy Point, N.S.â€"May 5.â€" (Specialyddr. George S. McLaughâ€" lin, of this place, claims to have found a remedy which will cure any case of Lumbago. Mr. McLaughlin himself has been a. great sufferer with this disease, and has sought relief in very many treat- ments and remedies. . At last however he came across a medicine which completely cured him, and which he claims any suflerer from Lumbago should be told of. | He says :â€" "I was troubled with Lame Back for 25 years or more. Sometimes it was so severe I could not turn my- self in bed. “A slight cold or hard lifting Would bring on a fearful attack and give me awful pain. ."I had tried many medicines and treatments, but never found anyâ€" thing to do me any good until I hound of Dodd's Kidney Pills. "My brother, who kept a. small grocery store and sold some mediâ€" cines, told me that he had heard that they had cured a great many people of Lumbugo, and he advised me to try them. "I commenced a treatment and in a short time all the pain left my back and it became as stout and strong as ever. "Wonderful to say I have had no return. of 'the terrible Lumbago Since. “It is now some years since I was cured. and I have said nothing about It, for I was afraid it would come back. and that I would have to keep on using the Pills in order to be well. "But now 1' am satisfied it is gone forever, and know that I am safe in making this public statement. “I believe Dodd's Kidney Pills will cum any case of Lumbogo or Lame Back, for they helped me out and nobody could have it much Worse than I had." ’ UPâ€"TO-IJATE DEFINITIONS.

When the white man wants the black man’s land he approaches the innocent black with "presents" of beads, colored cloths, ribbons, and ether useless trinkets that catch the eye of the poor blackâ€"but that are no earthly use to him. These are all " giftsâ€"freeâ€"gratisâ€"for noth- ing! 1 i" We all know who soon owns the black man's land. Yet this system of conciliating the innocent is not practiced alone on the negro. How many women read that they can get a certain "present" with a certain purchase and forthwith they make the pur- chase to get the “ present "â€"freeâ€" gratisâ€"for nothing! i l The pres- ent may or may not be usefulâ€"but in this twentieth century are there those who believe they have not in the purchase paid for and often dearly paid for the "present"? When you want a horse you can- not buy his teeth at ten cents a. tooth, and get the horse thrown into the bargain. When you buy a dress you do not buy the buttons, and have the dress thrown in. And no more than you can thus get the present of a horse or a dress can you get a " present "â€"freeâ€" gratisâ€"for nothingâ€"of diamonds, gold, jewellery, and cutlery, with the purchase of a bar of common soap. When you buy Sunlight Soap you are presented with pure quality in the soap itself. You do not pay for loading refuse at the price of soap. You don't wear out your clothes in half the time, and ruin your hands with Sunlight Soap, as with common soap. If you want soap, buy Sunlight Soapâ€"Octagon Barâ€"and you have paid for nothing but pure soap. It you want something else than soap, buy it independently of the soap, and you know what it has cost you. “ You may fool some people all the time ; You may fool all the people some of the time:- You cannot fool all the people all the time ;" .You cannot long tool a woman. 615 _.._.â€".+._â€"â€"â€". PAT WAS UNPERTURBED. The commanding officer of a. corps was much troubled about the per- sistent untidiness of one of his men. Repiimand and punishment. were un- av‘ailing. The man was incorrigible and remained a dirty as ever. A brilliant idea struck the colonel. “Why not march him up and down the whole line of the regiment and shame him into decency ?" It was done. The untidy warrior, who hailed from the Emerald Isle, was ordered to exhibit himself and march up and down the whole regi- ment, and the men told to have a look at him. The unabashed Pat halted, saluted the colonel, and said, in the hearing of the whole regiment, with the U1;â€" most sangâ€"froid :â€"“Dirtiest regiment I ever inspected, sorr.” THE FORCE OF CYCLONES. Careful estimates of the force of a. cyclone and the energy required to keep a. hurricane in active operaâ€" tion reveal the presence of a power that makes the mightiest efiorts of men appear as nothing in compariâ€" son. A force fully equal to over 400,000,000 horse-power was estiâ€" mated as developed in a West In- dian cyclone. This is about fifteen times the power that can be de- veloped by all the means within the range of man’s capabilities during the same time. Were steam, water, windmills, and the strength of all men and all animals combined, they could not at all approach the treâ€" mendous force exerted. PRISON LIFE HIS IDEAL. At Bari, Italy, an old man named Gissi Vinenzo, aged seventy-eight, has just been sentenced to five years‘ imprisonment for manslaughter. Gissi had only been released from prison a few days when be com- mitted the crime. He declared in court that his object, in killing the man was to get back to prison. On hearing his sentence, the accused said :â€""It is too little. Five years pass quickly. Sentence me for life, otherwise I shall have to kill an- other man when I leave prison in order to be taken back." Gissi has spent thirty of his seventyâ€"eight years in gaol.
