Hoosetoomaguntic, Youghiogeny and other bugbears of childhood will be .reinforced by ponderous Spanish titles and by Polynesian aggregations of vowels which will be as hard for us to manage as Polish and Hungarian words bristling with consonants.

The royal Hawaiian family name, "Ka-raehameha," has in this country generally been turned into Kammy-hamray-hah, and Kalakaua has varied in sound from Kalackaway to something like Calico. The indications now are that our most usual pronunciations of Hawaii will be Haawaya and Hay Wttjr "CJC.

Weapon For Officers' Use. Here we illustrate a ifombination eword and pistol recently patented in England by B. Reyes, of Monterey, Mexico. Au officer in battle Is always expected to carry Ills sword in one hand, and if his horse is at all fractious or hard to guide he has very little opportunity to defend himself with his pistol, and there has been in- ' stances when if a revolver was within ' easy reach an officer could have saved J his life ineteacl of watching an enemy aim h!b gun n^tl fire before the dooir-ed man could reach the pistol. The ad COMBINATION SWORD AND REVOLVER, j 11 vantage of this combination weapon will therefore be easily understood, as ti the officer could eapily s\$ng the point t of the sword toward thi' enemy in a C shorter time than a no coul^^ a .

Benjamin, in Ainslee's Magazine, says: "There are no 'bad lands' in the whole of Southern Siberia, and the rich, arable land extends hundreds of versts farther north.' We passed through on the river steamers ';and ' - -? ? ?J f..l_ "? A cue railroad 111 juue uuu <jui>, auu found the climate at that time altogether delightful. The vegetation, the trees and shrubs, were like those of New England. The crops were well along, the people looked prosperous iind contented. It Is now several years since the Russian Government tias adopted a system of colonization for Siberia. She makes a careful examination of all candidates for emigration, and those who have the requisite qualifications receive, with their familfes, free transportation to the new country. Lands are allotted to them which are exempt from taxes for twenty years; at the end of that time they may be rented or purchased at a moderate sum. They are almost entirely free from the obligation of military service for ten years. Money is lent to emigrants who already have a ceruuu uujuuui?uiueiwisc iucj uc aot allowed to emigrate?which need ot be repaid for thirty years. Agricultural implements are given them jutright No wonder that some of the cream of Russian peasantry has been induced to emigrate. Whole communities hare found in their new home a lot which is better than anything they have ever known in the mother country: .I' was constantly Impressed by the iir. of prosperity about every Siberian settlement?the neat houses, ! the swell-kept barnyards, tbe aoundantly yielding soli, the absence of squalor. Later when ' we, passed through: the heart of European Russia, L was. able to- compare 'the .appearance of the. two sections, and I came to the conclusion that the Russian peasant bettersbimself/4n many ways by emigration to Siberia. ; "Hardly a day passed as we steamed dp the great rtvert^ that we did not meet one or more steamers, sometimes lowing barges li addition, filled with THutt eoaifuul tn m<?

Health Value of Vegetables. A diet of nothing but celery is said by some physicians to be; a sure cure for both rheumatism and, neuralgia. Free use of this vegetable is . always recommended to rheumatic patients. Baked potatoes are./digested more <?nsily than boiled potatoes, and should therefore be preferred by dyspeptics. In cases of anaemia, cabbages and spinach are distinctly tyjneficlal. Spinach is also almost as valuable as lithia water iu its effect on the kidneys. Beets and turnips keep the blood pure and improve the appetite. Tomotoes are thought in, Indian to be a preventive of cholera. Like enJiws uud watercre'sses, they stimulate the healthy acti.on of the liver. Just after the battle of Fort Donelson, General Grant is said to have telegraphed ito Washington that he .wquld not permit tne army to move till forty wagon loads of onions that had. been promised to him should arrive. Onions are essential to the army mess, to make pork or beef palatable. But they are also an admirable cure for sleeplessness and indigestion everywhere. Garlic, leeks and olives stimulate the circulation of the blood. Too much meat and too few vegeta- | bles make up the average diet. Health j depends on continuous variety. IlAr^est Home. Like Hallowe'en and Hogmanay and other old-world festivals, the harvest home, which used to crown with joy and gladness the completion of the ingatherlqg of the fruits of the earth in Scotland, bids fair to become a thing of the past. Photography That Pays. Goocl photographs of living wild mammals and birds arc so rare as to command high prices in the market, and the magazines, as well as the newspapers which print half-tone supplements, are usually glad to bay them.
