Meaning of “Sophomore.”
Says a Cincinnati literary man: “I used
to think that the word ‘sophomore’ was
made up of the Greek word signifying
wise and the English word ‘more.’ The
word was thus applicable, I thought, to
the second class in a college, because
they were ‘more wise’ than their fellows
in their own estimation. But it seems
that the word has a purer genealogy and
a meaning even less flattering to the
class of collegians to whom it is applied.
It was first used at the University of
Cambridge, England, and in its infancy
appeared in the form ‘soph-mor.’ It was
composed of the word ‘soph,’ a contrac-
tion for ‘sophister,’ and a Greek word
meaning foolish (moros).
“The college course extended ovei
three years and one term. The respect-
ive classes of students were termed
freshmen, or first year men; junior
sophs or soph-mors, senior sophs and
questioners. This nomenclature was
transferred to the American higher in-
stitutions of learning, and in the form
freshmen, juniors and seniors still exists,
while it has wholly disappeared on the
other side of the water.”—New York
Tribune. __ clubs who will preside at a piimary election ito
Blunders in Future Battles.
Caution will pay in a smokeless com-
bat, enterprise and vigor will win as be-
fore, but blunders will receive a terrible
punishment, fatal to armies and ruinous
to nations dependent upon them.—Iron
Age.
Total Eclipses of the Sun.
Every year there must be two eclipses
of the sun, and there may be five. These
are partial eclipses, Jiowever, except in
the comparatively rare case in which the
moon passes nearly centrally over the
sun’s disk and produces a total obscura-
tion of his light. Since the invention oi
the spectroscope, in 1860, there have
been barely a score of total eclipses, and
a number of these could not be observed
because the belt of totality fell at the
earth’s polar regions or upon the oceans.
The belt of totality is a narrow strip-—
never more than 170 miles wide—where
the point of the moon’s shadow falls upon
the earth. Total eclipses rarely occur, JKC£lcvt.uul n.ul
therefore, at the same point of the earth. The TwehthVard

He Fancied the Coat of Arms.
A secondhand bookseller had bought
at a country sale some 200 or 300 vol-
umes of handsome but unsalable old ser-
mons, books on theology and the like.
Having placed a few of these outside, a
stylishly dressed man entered the shop
and said, “I’ll take these books, and, say,
have you any more of this kind with
this shield on to them?” pointing to the
bookplate attached, which bore the arms
and name of a good old county family.

seller.
“What’s yer figger for them?” inquired
the customer. “See here, I start back
to Chicago tomorrow. I’m going to
start a libery that, and these books will
just fit me, name and all. Just you sort
out all that have that shield and name,
and send them around to the Langham
at 7 sharp. I’ll be around to settle up;
but see, now, don’t you send any with-
out that name plate, for that’s my name,
too, and I reckon this old hoss with the
daggers and roosters might have been
related to me some way.”—Walter Ham-
ilton in Ex-Libris Journal.

Directors of the Galveston and Western Railway
company, passed at a meeting of said board on
the 9,h day of March, 1892, after reconsideration

The Intelligent Foreigner and Buffalo.
A Buffalonian writes from Nice that
in the smoking room of his hotel, which
is frequented chiefly by English people,
the after dinner talk is very apt to drift
toward American topics, and any guest
who has visited that country sets up at
once as an authority on the subject. One
gentleman, a Scotchman and a man of
education and breeding, said: “Ah,
yes! I know you Americans pretty well.
I was in the States some twenty-six
years ago.” When asked what impress-
ed him most during his visit he said: “I
found great laxness in the administra-
tion of the laws. In many cities I really
felt that it was unsafe to go about the
streets after dark. In what cities? Well,
in Louisville, Chicago and Buffalo, par-
ticularly in Buffalo, where I saw great
numbers, hundreds of the aborigines go-
ing about without restraint.”
Our Buffalo friend pricked up his ears
at this and made some incredulous re-
mark. “Indeed, yes,” said the other,
“the native red men in blankets and all
that.” Our friend observed that Buffalo
happened to be his place of residence,
and that the only savages he remem-
bered seeing there were the occasional
and inoffensive venders of sassafras root,
but the Scotch gentleman knew better.
Buffalo was a wild and dangerous bor-
der town, and he did not hesitate to let
his American interlocutor see that his
statements concerning the present com-
mercial greatness of that city could not
impose on him. He had been there.—

When a Man Walks.
The man afoot on the surface of his
own earth is the true king; the so called
monarch who journeys in a coach or in
a bomb proof railway carriage is, in
truth a slave. The pressure of the free
foot on turf or road exhilarates the soul;
the magnetism of our mighty mother
flows into our nerves and nourishes
their vitality; our blood dances through
our veins and strengthens muscle and
organ. The whole atmosphere is our
own; it flows rhythmically into our
lungs and unites us with the sky. The
horizon wooes and stimulates the eyes;
they become bright and gain power and
judgment. Nature instructs us at every
step; her beauty must ever remain un-
known to him who has not thus placed
himself face to face with her.
Distant hills slowly draw near and
unfold to us their wonders of coloi’ and
form; winding valleys reveal their love-
ly hearts to our orderly seeking, temper-
ing their surprises by exquisite grada-
tions. The trees are companions; each
yields to us its individual charm, and so
passes us on to the new charm of its
neighbor. The forests veil from us the
sky, as if to remind us of the beauties of
this earth; the broad plains smile to
heaven, in intimation that earth and
heaven are inwardly at one. Every in-
sect, animal and bird vouchsafes us
glimpses of its secret life, which shuns
the monstrosity of our machines.—Julian
Hawthorne in Lippincott’s.

The Best Present for a Baby.
The best and most sensible present a
man can make a baby is a bankbook,
and the larger the account opened the
better. For the bank account will be
better for the baby in the end, and it
can never throw the father down stairs,
split the drums, of liis ears, or perform
an;
mind and make you wish that you had
never been born. —R. K. Munkittrick in
Once a Week.

Englishmen Are Slow.
Trains are not so punctual as in the
United States. The enormous traffic has
something to do with this, but I am told
that the fault is somewhat due to faulty
organization; that in fact the engine de-
partment is too entirely distinct from
the conductor’s department. There is
not on the engineer any great responsi-
bility for being on time, but there is on
him an immense care that his engine
shall show economical use of coal, waste,
oil, etc. By such return is he judged,
and he is busy running an economical
engine while the passengers chafe and
the conductor is placidly sitting in the
“guardsvan,” for he has no responsibil-
ity either for time. If a station master
sends the train off five minutes late, it
is nobody’s business to make it up, and
it is not made up.—London Cor. San
Francisco Chronicle.
A Large Band Saw.
The largest band sawing machine in
the world has been completed in Eng-
land and sent to Tasmania. The ma-
chine can saw through a maximum
depth of seventy-five inches and the car-
riage will accommodate logs fifty feet
long and weighing about fifty tons. It
is asserted that this saw cuts even faster
than a circular saw, while wasting 75
per cent, less wood.—New York Times.
A cocoon of a well fed silkworm, it is
said, will often yield a thread 1,000 yards
long, and one has been produced which
contained 1,295 yards.

Hungarians in This Country.
Professor Mogyorossen Arfiad, now in
this city, who is prominent in the move-
ment to organize and consolidate the
Hungarians, was formerly a teacher of
the oriental languages at Alleghany
city. He estimates the number of his
countrymen in the United States at over
1,000,000. He says the Slavs, who live
in the mountain regions of Hungary,
are poor, illiterate and uneducated, and
it is this class who come to this land
that are looked upon as the standard of
the true Hungarian, whereas they are
the exception. The professor is con-
ducting The Onallis, a periodical in
the anthracite coal regions for the en-
lightenment of his countrymen. The
title name is the Hungarian word for
“independence.”—Philadelphia Press.

A Woman’s Good Name.
Many people who would recoil with
horror from cutting a human creature’s
throat, which really does not hurt very
much and only lasts a moment, will
murder a woman’s good name without
remorse or compunction, and that hurts
worse than death for a lifetime. It
is a meaner crime than murder. We
cry out, and rightly, too, against the
sensational and depraving habit of mak-
ing heroes of robbers and cutthroats.
It is a horrible thing to do. And yet I
have less of hatred and loathing for the
late Jesse James than I have for some
people who have never been convicted
of a capital crime, but -whose tongues,
we know, are worse than any knife that
ever severed a human jugular.—R. J.
Burdette in Ladies’ Home Journal.
Gold More Common Than Bronze.
Herodotus tells of a king who loaded
his prisoners with golden chains, that
substance being more common than
bronze. Copper was even -worn for or-
nament in preference to gold. The treas-
ures brought by the Queen of Sheba to
Solomon’s temple must have been of
enormous value.—Washington Star.

The Scenes of That Night Made the Good
Old Man Think That He Was Losing
His Eyesight—It Takes a Bright Girl
to Circumvent Her Papa.
“Deacon Jones’ wife called on me
to-day, Zeb,” said • ’Mandy, the other
evenin. “She says the Deacon hasn’t
been in his usual sperets ever since the
failure, as he calls it, of his huskin bee,”
and ’Mandy laughed right heartily over
the recollection of that notable event.
It’s the custom of the farmers in our
naborhood to have a huskin bee every
fall, an thus bring the season’s work to
an end with a round of merrymakin
which is looked for’ard to an talked
about by the young folks all summer
long, an many castles in the air are built
by them as they fondly think of the
many opportunities an hoped for results.
Deacon Jones’, specially, are held in
great favor by them all, owin no doubt,
to his only child, Mollie, the prettiest
and sociablest girl in the naborhood.
But the goo^ deacon made up his mind
that he wouldn’t have any more o’ the
goins on at his huskin bee that had wor-
ried an scandalized him as a leadin
pillar o’ the church at the last one he
had.
One evenin Mollie overheard him
tellin her mother how he was goin care-
fully through the unhusked corn, pickin
out all the red ears till there wouldn’t
be a single nubbin left o’ that color.
He didn’t intend to leave the least bit of
an excuse for the young fellers havin a
chance o’ kissin the girls,an specially their
Mollie, who always seemed to get more’n
her share. He thought it was a sin an
a shame to allow such doin’s an he’d
show the nabors a huskin bee as was a
huskin bee..
Everything would go off as orderly’s
if they were in meetin. So the deacon
went on gittin ready for the event, not
knowin that his daughter was aware o’
his plans. Now, Moll* had her own
ideas about a huskin bee, an they were
far different than her father’s. So she
told two or three of hei’ admirers how
her father was plannin to spoil their
fun, an they must tell the young men to
come prepared. They told her not to

Swell Thieves.
The other evening two dapper “dudes”
walked into the writing room of a fash-
ionable up town hotel, which it is just
now the fad to review, and looking
wearily around to see “who wasn’t look-
ing,” they deliberately pocketed all the:
stationery there was in sight.
Surreptitiously taking handsome pa-
per embossed with the silver crest of a
famous house may not be manly, but
the paper is fine to use to impress friends
out of town that their relatives and ac-
quaintances are magnates living in
swelldom. There are pennies saved, too,
by stealing note paper from a swell
hotel that might buy an extra package
of cigarettes.—New York Herald.

o’ red ears for the occasion.
The eventful evenin arrived at last,
an all the young folks in the naborhood
were gathered in the deacon’s barn,
eagerly waitin for the word to begin
huskin the great heaps of corn piled
upon the floor. ’Mandy an I went over
to look on an enjoy the young people’s
frolics, for Mollie had told ’Mandy what
was in the wind. We stood talkin to the
deacon an his wife, an when he at length
gave the word fpr them to begin work
he turned to me an says:
“Now, Zeb, you’ll see what a huskin
bee should be, accordin to my idee. In
all them piles I’ll warrant they won’t
find a single red”----
Jest then the deacon was cut short by
a shout of joy from one of the young
chaps, as he waved a big red ear over
his head an started after Mollie, who
gave a shriek an scampered across the
barn floor. After a good deal o’ dodgin
an squirmin she was caught at last, an
the lucky feller took his reward in a
hearty kiss upon her rosy lips. You’d
orte’ve seen the deacon’s face at that
minit. It was a picture of astonishment
an dismay.
“Wall, I swan,” he stammered out, “I
don’t see how I could’ve overlooked that
ear. Right on top too. I don’t believe
they’ll find any more though,” he
chuckled. “That’s one consola”----
But jest then another red ear was
found, an Mollie was seen tryin to dodge
another young man who was after her,
holdin aloft his prize. She rushed be-
hind ’Mandy, where he caught her an
gave her a rousin kiss right before the
deacon’s horrified eyes. ’Mandy an the
deacon's wife couldn’t keep their faces
straight any longer, but jest set down an
laughed till the tears ran down their
cheeks. The deacon sat down with a
groan of helpless despair an says:
“I must he loosin my eyesight, Zeb.
I’d a made a affydavy that there wasn’t
a red ear in the barn, but the pesky
stalks are full of ’em.”
He was right. Full of ’em they were,
for every youngster had come with his
pockets stuffed with red ears, an they do
say that the girls brought more’n one
ear apiece, so’s to be sure of a good sup-
ply. Leastways there was more red ears
found at the deacon’s huskin bee than
were found at all the other bees in the
naborhood last fall, and the fun the
young folks had over ’em was a sight to
behold. When the deacon found out
how his plans had miscarried he was
awful angry an vowed that he’d never
have another huskin bee, but ’Mandy
says she guesses that when the-time
comes around again Mollie an her
mother’ll be able to coax him into
changin his mind about it.—New York
Tribune.
Meaning of Physical Courage—Its Re-
wards and Demands—Loftier Motive of
Moral Courage and the injury That It
Often Brings Upon Tts Possessor.
It is a rare thing to meet a person,
either man or woman, who combines in
one both physical and moral courage.
Mental courage is a frequent thing—to
dare to have opinions, to dare to follow
out their consequences in one’s mind—
“the poor heart would fain deny, but
dare not.” But moral courage is a far
rarer quality, and is as much higher
than physical coiuajge as the soul is
higher than the body. Physical courage
is indeed the commonest of the virtues.
Most soldiers have it who go into battle;
most mothers have it as they approach
the great gates of maternity; the child
has it who goes to bed in the dark; the
boy who challenges the bigger boy to
fight; the girl who drives the cattle
home.
It is true there is something that passes
for physical courage which is not that
at all, and which, if it is not exactly
moral courage either, is a courage that
deserves a name of its own—a disregard
of one’s lower self, a pride of one’s loft-
tier self, that is far nobler than any mere
fearlessness, which a dog can share—
and that is the experience of a deadly
terror before any act, but the doing
it nevertheless, 'concealing the terror
and achieving the result. There is the
heroism in that which takes one to the
stake.
Physical courage is apt to demand ap-
plause, but moral courage leaves every
consideration but truth in the back-
ground, and is more likely to bring one
■ ostracism than admiration. With moral
courage one speaks one’s mind, one goes
forward to one’s conception of duty, one
treads one’s chosen way without the
thought, and so without the fear, of con-
sequences, or even if with the fear, still
treads it just the same.
One does not pause to measure the
possible effect upon one’s self. One does
and says what right and the moment re-
quire. One is not intimidated by the
frown, the brutal word, the threat, the
blow, the probable loss of prestige, the
force of any contrary opinion, public or
private, the possible deprivation of office
or of position. One has what has long
been known as the courage of one’s con-
victions, and does what one thinks is
right or best or even only expedient,
without regard to fear or favor.
The moral courage that dares to
tradict the village bully dares no less to
tell a king that he is in the wrong;
dares to arrest the wretch who, whip in
hand, abuses his beast—being more
beast than the other; dares, too, to
shield the culprit from the strong arm,
to interpose one’s self between the vic-
tim and the oppressor, whether the vic-
tim be a child in school or a whole peo-
ple; dares always to resist tyranny. It
has been physical courage of course
that has fought the great battles of the
world—battles, probably, that the world
could as -well have done without had ar-
bitration been known—but it is moral
courage that has instigated and carried
forward every reform, and done away
with every oppression that has already
vanished.
After all, moral courage does more
for its possessor than for any one else.
The brutes of the field have physical
courage, but the other belongs only
among the altitudes—lifts and expands
the soul that has it and that uses it, and
makes it, one dares to think, only a lit-
tle lower than the angels. They that
have it never know when they are beat-
en; in fact, they cannot be beaten. They
return to the attack with all the pristine
vigor of the first onset, with all the
force that first impelled them.
Women, with their feeble bodies and “That box, sir, is full of books from
insufficient means of protection or of as-
sault, are notoriously deficient in ani-
mal courage, that “valiant courage and
undaunted spirit more than in woman
commonly is seen;” but they are just as
notoriously rich in the opposite direc-
tion, and possessed of great moral cour-
age—that is, the women of the nobler
sort. It is they that uphold the hands
of others, they that never falter in their
purpose, they that will die for their
love or their belief—not they alone, but
they in the greater number. And it is
they that, by handing this trait down to
their sons, will lift the race constantly
to greater heights of righteous will and
strength.—Harper’s Bazar.
One Way to Succeed.
It takes patience to succeed in estab-
lishing a foothold in the most desirable
combinations of men and women, and I
am often amused by those who tire of
the chase and seek to buy their way.
Such persons hire excellent cooks and
give dinners at which famous entertain-
ers assist. They have cards printed, worry; they’d see that there was a plenty
with receiving days announced upon
them. They aim to leap into social rec
ognition with a bound. Alas! the only
women who come to their houses are
the women who are in the same social
strait—women who smile upon one an-
other and yet despise each another. It
does not work. They drink their own
wines and eat their own dinners, that is
all.
The surest way to succeed that I know
of is to begin young and never rest or
marry until as a dancing man, or a
beau, or a wit, you have made your
self desired everywhere that your male
friends go. Then if you marry in the
best set to which you have the entree
you will start well on the road. Is it
worth the devotion of a bachelor’s life
and energy? Ah, I don’t know. I judge
so from the scenes I witness around me,
from the lives I study daily. It must be
worth a great deal if it is worth the
anxiety and money and yearning and
struggle that men give to it wherever I
see them.—Cor. San Francisco Argo-
naut.

The taciturnity of backwoodsmen used
to be much illustrated by American
writers, but now, perhaps because back-
woodsmen are too few to form as con-
spicuous a national element as formerly,
their peculiarities are not often men-
tioned. From Canada, which still has
vast areas of almost unbroken forest,
we received the following verbatim re-
port of a conversation between a city
sportsman and his backwoods guide,
Bill Buckshaw.
“You have killed moose, Bill, I sup-
pose?” “Some.”
“Any big bulls?” “Some.”
“Where?” “Back yonder.”
, , .- “Were you ever charged by one?”
and its absence is always pitiable where “Onct.”
“How was that?” “He come at me.”
“Had you wounded him?” “Yas.”
“How did he come?” “Acrost the
swale.”
“Couldn’t you stop him with another
shot?” “Hadn’t on’y a muzzle loader.”
“Did he get close to you?” “dost as
you be.”
“Then you killed him?” “No.”
“'What then?” “I clumb up.”
“Where?” “On the root.”
“What rooS” “The big pine root.”
“A fallen pine?” “Yas.”
“What did he do?” Lammed into it.”
“Into what?” “The root.”
