TOO MANY JONESES. In Wales They Cannot Tell Them by Names Alone. ' At a meeiing ot itio Cymmi'otioi^ ion society, Mr. T. K. Morris, bar- rlslir-at-lttw, loclured before a lo- prcscntfttivc audience on tlie Incoii- jYcniouce and confusion urising from the imucity of distinctive surnames In Wales, says tiio London Chroiiiclo. In Li\or[)i)ol uloiic, lio said, 430 Wclflmie/; itijoiced in the name of John Jones, and at an inquiry liold at AVcstmiiistcr into the county council water schcauo sixteen wit- oesscs bore the same siuiplo cogno- men. Before the Welsh land coni- luLssion, out of 131 wilnessea in one county who gave ovidencc, 101) shar- ed 14 surimnics betwtx;n them, and Of the lOi) as many as 65 bore pro- jwrtionntcly the nuuies of Jones, llvanN niidDavics. liccently ut the Corweu board of ffuariilans, owing to the numerous Jemescs who arc jncmbors of that body, It was decided to enter in the minutes each man's bouse u.iid )>aribh, as his full noino was not sulliciently distinctive. To remedy this state of things, Mr, Morris advocated the liberal adoi>- tion of the beautiful place names which abound in Wales, as wus done in Scotland and Norway, and the revival of the characteristic "Ap" with per.sonal surnames. He pointed out that the law allowed any man to chanpe his surname, provided that it was done honestly and without any fraudulent purpose, and his sug- gestion Was that a short act of Par- liament should be passed enabling any per.son to register a change of his name with the district i-epistrar oil payxncnl of a small fee. In this Wiiy an uuthi-ntic and nfflcrial record of tho change would be made at the time. 'Bobby, your mamma tolls nie you are a very bright boy, and she ex- pects you to be u great man," said Mr. Blossom, as lie .-iat in the parlor Wailing for Bobby's sister. "Ma never does 'spect nothin' right. She doesn't know what phe'.s talkin' about. .She told pa she 'spoctcd )5'ou and my s..vtier would bo mar- irietl 'foro spring, and that was nioic'n a year ago." LUMBABO, A NOVA SCOTIA MAN HAS FOUND A SURE REMEDY. Claims That Lumbago Can . Be Cured.â€" He Himself Had Suffer- ' ed for 25 Years. â€" Hope for Ap- parently Hopeless Cases. Kcoiiouiy Point. N.S.â€" May 5.â€" (.Special)â€" Mr. Ueorge S. McLaugh- lin, of this place, tlalms t* have found a remedy which will cure any case of Lumbago. Mr. McLaughlin himself has beeu a great sullcrer with this disease, and has sought, relief in very many treat- uienlR and renicdle.'*. r At last however ho came across a medicine which completely cured him, and which he claims any sullerer from Lumbago should be told of. I He Says :â€" ' 'I was troubled with Lame Hack for 25 year.-t or more. Sometimes It Was so severe I could not turn my- Kelf in bed. "A Hliglit, cold or hard lifting Would bring' on a fearful attack and |{lve me awful pain. "I had tried many medicines and treatments, but never found any- thing to do nie nny good until I hoard of Dodd's Kidney Pills. "My brother, who kept a small grocery store and sold siomc medi- cines, told me that ho had heard that they had cured a great many people of Lumbago, and he Bdviscd !ne to try them. "I commenced a treatment and in R short time all the pain left my hack and it became as stout and strong as ever. "Wonderful to say I have had no let urn of tho terrible Lumbago •inci". "It is now r.omc years since 1 wiis tured. and I have auiA nothing about It, for I wus afraid it would come back. and that I would have to keep on usinff the Pills in order to be vvell. "But now i am satisflcd it is gone forcvur, and know (hat 1 am safe In aiaJdng this public .silalemenf. "r Iwlieve Dodd's Kidney Pills will euro any case of T.iimbngo or Lnnie Baf-k. for they helped nic out and nol>ody conbl have It much worse than 1 had." Free Gratia -For Nothing You Cah-not Loko Fool a Wumah. Whet the white man wants the black man's land be approaches the Innocent black with " presents " ot beads, colored cloths, ribbons, and «thor useless trinkets that catch the eye of the poor blackâ€" but that are no earthly use to him. ' These are all " giftsâ€" free â€" gratisâ€" lor noth- ing ! I 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€" free- gratisâ€" for nothing ! ! ! The pres- ent may or may not be usefulâ€" but in this twentieth century are there those who belieye they have not In the purchase paid for and often dearly paid for the "present"? When you want a horse you can- not buy hla 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 hare 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€" free â€" gratis â€" for nothing â€" ot diamonds, gold, jewellery, and cutlery, with the purchase ot a bar ot 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 ot soap, You don't wear out your clothes In half the time, and ruin your bands with SunUght Soap, as with common soap. If you want soap, buy Sunlight Soap â€" Octagon Barâ€" and you have paid for nothing but pure eoap. If you want something else than soap, buy It Independently of the soap, and you know what it has cost you.

Tho commanding ofBcer of a corps waa much troubled about the per- sistent untidiness of one of his men. Reprimand and punishment were un- availing, The man was incorrigible and remained as dirty as ever. A brilliant idea b-truck the colonel. "Why not march him up and down tho whole lino 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- uicnt, and the men told to have a look at him. The unabashed Pat halted, saluted tlio colonel, and said, in the hearing of the whole regiment, witli the ut- most sang-froid :â€" "Uirtio.st i-egiment I ever inspected, sorr."

Careful estimates of tlie force of a cyclone and the energy required to keep a hurricane In active opera- tion reveal the pre.scnce of a power that makes the mightiest ©fTor{s of men appear as nothing in compari- son. A force fully er|ual to over 400,000,000 horse-power was esti- mated as developed in a West In- dian cyclone. This is about fifteen times tho power that can ho 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 tre- mendous force exerted! rniRON LIFE IITR I1>15AL.
