The'word,,atheist comes from two Greek ' yOtdii sigpjfying "no god." ,Qin •atheist i9'h disbeliever in the existence of any deity. The Sabbatarlans wore so-called from their observing the seventh day as the Sabbath. Their founder was named Bra - benne. The Redemptorist Fathers, also knovin as 7.,iguorians, had their name from. St. Francis Liguori, who founded the order in 1732, The Irvingites had their name from Edward Irving, a religious teacher and expounder of the prophecies; born 1792, died 1834, • The Unitarians were thus named be- cause they denied the doctrine of the Trinity. In theory they are opposed to the Trinitarians. The Arians had their name from Arius, who died A. D. 336. Their maim doc- trine was a disbelief in the divine nature of Jesus Christ The Polytheist took his name from two Greek words signifying many gods. The Polytheist believed in the plurality of deities. Idolatry was thus termed from two Greek words signifying "the worship of images." Idolatry is not to be confounded with Paganism. The Benedictine Monks had their name from their founder, St. Benedict, who brought the monastic system into Europe about 529. The Faith -healers were thus called from the fact that they claimed by the exercise of faith and by prayer to heal all manner of diseases. The Passionist Fathers took their name from St. Paul Francis, better known as St. Paul of the Cross, who founded this order in 1737. The Trinitarians, or, Friars of the Holy Cross, were also called "The Crutcht:d Friars," because of the cross ensbroirl,red on their robes. The Arminians took their name front their leader, Arminius, born in 1566, died in 1609. Their doctrines are still held by several Methodist bodies. The Bernardinos were so named from St. Bernard, who founded the famous hospice in the Alpine pass which bears his name, about 962. The Gnostics were thus named from the Greek word meaning 'to know.' They claim a larger share of revelation than fell to the lot of others. Protestants were at first so-called be- cause their representatives protested at the Diet of Spiers, in 1529, against the ^ action of the Emperor. The Camisards, a Ftench religious sect, were so-called from the smock frock worn by the peasants, who constituted the larger part of their members. The Episcopalians are so-called from, their belief in an episcopal form of church government—that is, a system providing for bishops and archbishops. The' Mohammedans were so-called be- cause they were the followers of Moham- med, and believers in his doctrine as re- vealed in the Koran. Mohammed was born 571, A.D., and died 632 A.D. The Secularist was so named because he thought his principal duty was to his fellow -men, that the end and aim of life was to be realized in this world. The Augustine Friars took their title from the name of the founder of their order, St. Augusine, the first arhbishop of Canterbury,who died in 605. • The Pantheist takes his name from two Greek words, practically signifying 'God everywhere.' The Pantheist sees in every thing a manifestation of Deity. The Sacra menta clans- were so-called be- cause one of their chief doctrines was the denial of the real body of Christ in the consecrated bread. Pnseyites are the followers of Dr. Posey, a reformer in the Church of England. Pusey,s friends and followers are also sometimes called "Tractarians." The word nun is derived from the Ital- ian word nonna, meaning "grand- mother." When nunneries were first in- stituted the inmates were all very aged women. ' The word Catholic means "universal, and the name Catholic Church simply means "universal church," as for many centuries the Catholic Church was the only church. The Nonconformists were thus designa- ted from their refusal to confom to the usages and doctrines of the establish- ed Church of England. They were also called Dissenters. - The Congregationalists had their name from their doctrine that each congrega- tion was a unit, should be independent of all others, and manage its own affairs in its own way. The Rationalist called himself so be- cause of his belief that reason was the supreme good and that nothing which lay outside the domain of reason was to be recognized as truth. The soot of the Nazarenes was named from Nazareth. Its members were Chris- tian Jews, that is, Christian believers, who, nevertheless, practised the vows and ceremonies of Judaism. The Aq.iarians, an early Christian sect, took their name from the fact that they insisted that wine should not be used in the sacrament of the Lord's supper, and substituted water for it.

Don't think up schemes to make young men spend money. ,IDon't go on a sailing party without adequate chaperonage. • Don't stare at people as they enter the hotel dining -room.

One self -approving hour whole ye outweighs of stupid starers and of to d hu zzas. �t The Mind by passion driven from i firm hold, becomes a feather to eao wind that blows. The natural flights of the human min are not from pleasure to pleasure, bn from hope to hope. Who waits until circumstances com- pletely favor his undertaking, will never accomplish anything. We should accustom the mind to keep the best company by introducing it only to the best books. I think the world would go mad, just frenzied with strain and pressure, but for the blessed institution of Sunday. He who murmurs against his condition ' does not understand it; but he who ac- cepts of it in peace, will soon learn to comprehend it. Experience has convinced me that there is a thousand times more goodness, wis- dom and love iu the world than men im- agine. The devil loves nothing better than the intolerance of reformers, and dreads no- thing so much as their charity and pati ence. A history will live, though written ever indifferently; and it is generally less suspected than the rhetoric of the muses. Fenelon died exemplifying the mean he had always observed between prodigal- ity and avarice, leaving neither debts nor money. We should remember that'it is quite as much a part of friendship to be delicate in its demands as to be ample in its per- formances. You find -yourself refreshed by the pres- ence of cheerful people. Why not make earnest effort to confer that pleasure on others. Gloom and sadness are poison to us, and the origin of hysterics. You are right in thinking that this disease is in the imagination. A person of genius should marry a per- son of character. Genius does not herd with genius. The musk -deer and the civet -cat are never found in company. Good -breeding carries along with it a The pleasantest hospitality waiteth not for curious costliness, when it can give cleanly sufficiency. More cometh of pride and greater friendliness to your own os- tentation, than the comfort of the guest. By what strange law of mind is it that an idea long overlooked and trodden underfoot as a useless stone suddenly sparkles out in mew lightsas a discover- ed diamond? Old age seizes upon an ill -spent youth, like fire upon a rotten house. It was rotten before, and must have fallen of itself, so that it is only one ruin antiol- pating another. A great lie e is like e a great fish on dry labd; it may fret and fling, and make a frightful bother, but it can not hurt you. You have only to keep still and it will die of itself. • The fruition of what is unlawful must be followed by remorse. The core sticks in the throat after the apple is eaten, and the sated appetite loathes the inter- dicted pleasure for which innocence was bartered. It is at the approach of extreme danger, when hollow puppets can accomplish no- thing, that power falls into the mighty hands of nature, of the spirit giant -born, who listens only to himself, and knows nothing of compact. ' The haunts of happiness are varied and rather unaccountable, but I have more often seen her among little children anti the home fireside, and the country house, than anywhere else—at least, I think so. Even sleep is characteristic. How charming are children in their lovely innocence! How angel -like their bloom- ing hue I How painful and anxious is the sleep and expression of the counten- ance of the guilty. It is well for gamesters that they are so numerous as to make a society of themselves, for it would be strange abuse of terms to rank those among society at large, whose business it is to prey on all who compose it. Every blade of grass in the 'field is measured; the green cups and the colored crowns of every flower are curiously counted; the stars of the firmament wheel in calculated orbits; even the storms have their laws. Reading and conversation may fur- nish us with many ideas of men and things, yet it is our meditation that must form our judgment. That is, in a groat degree, true of all men, which was said to the Athenians, that they were like sheep, of which a flock is more easily driven than a single one. The first law that ever God gave to man, was a law of obedience; it was a commandment pure and simple, where- in man had nothing to enquire after or to disputa, for as much as„to obey is the • proper offioe of a rational soul acknowl- edging a heavenly superior and benefac- tor. A BLIND SURQEON.. A #Aertorme nipieult Qpetd)sious Though ire 1t Han Seen Nothing Since Birth,; When Dr. James Cooke, of Huntington ' avenue, was 2 ppppths old, both. of his if • eyes were ruined by a Wandering doctor, whq ad/ministered a wrong medicine. he Since then he has been totally blind. Be is now 82 years of ago, and he is consulted in difficult cases by the most eminent of f- the regular physicians of Boston. He has I performed the present week two very diffi- ss oult and delicate surgical operations, and in both cases the patients are doing well. e He locates a disease by his sensitive touch, and he tells the colors of goods in the to same way, singular as it may appear. A lady who had eight or ten samples of oh dress'sgoods, each about 3 inches square, and of different colors and shades of colors, banded them to Dr. Cooke the other day, and he at once told aoourately the color and even the shade of color of each, and e selected the samples of best quality. When handed several national bank and Gov - ars ernment currency bills, he at onoe told the Ion denomination of each, and the color, • whether green or black. He tells the cour- ts plexion of a person by touching the skin. h It is difficult to believe that a blind man could do this, but he is seen to do it, and d aoourately, too. t Women in Singular Callings, Buffalo has a "lady mortuarist.

Nebraska has a woman who earns her living by operating a ?team thrasher. The finest raining in California are grown and placed by three women near • Fresno. Dr. Cooke went among Buffalo Bill's° Indians the other day, and designated their oharacter by their voices, spoken in the Indian dialect.. He has three diplo- mas from colleges of this and foreign coun- tries, and four certificates of commenda- tion from institutions where he has taken special courses of study. He went through a course of study under the famous Weir Mitchell. Before Dr. Cooke was 21 years of age he was employed by a large tobacco house to select the raw tobacco for him. He never failed in getting the best quality and the most desirable color—all by the touch. From this source ha earned over $3,000, which paid his expenses at a university In Tennessee, where he stood at the head of his class. From the Tennessee univer- sity he entered a medical .school, where he was to the fore all through the class. He has taken special startles in five other in- stitutions, at part of them in Europe. So to retain all that this remarkable man has accomplished in the higher classics and professional studies of the colleges, requir- ed a large nnrl firmly knit brain, p,v'sever- ance and self.reliance to an unusual de- gree. The two women patients that he oper- ated upon last week are I>bth doing well. In one case a large tumor was removed; the other was a still more difficult and delicate ease, When lifting out the tumor, Dr. Cooke found that he had twenty-four forceps holding veins and arteries. He tied blood vessels and removed the forceps. He takes up and ties severed arteries in difficult cases more rapidly than any other clear -seeing surgeon.

An electrician has expressed his belief that telephoning to the moon is within the bounds of possibility. He argues that the ether which hinds the planets together with an iron hand is, while firm and solid, infinitely elastic, an ideal medium for the transmission of vibrations. The vibrations which constitute light crime to us from the sun In eight minutes,travelling at the rate of l92,1,00 miles a second. It is pos- sible to produce waves moving at this en- ormous velocity by electrical menus. A pulsation of electricity causes an ether WAVE', and in the telephone the movement of infinitely small waves produces speech. The waves les prxlaloed- by ether disturbance spread out into space, radial i n 4 further and further in gigantic circler; until swal- lowed up in its immensity, like resides on the ocean. If an iron' flumes he in the vicin- ity of these pulsations it will give out a buzz or hum, as shown in the pas -age of a current through some Systems of street lighting opparattes for the transformation of high to low pressure. The moon un- doubtedly contains its propr„tionate amount of iron, and therefore the theory is advanced that if we can send electrical pulsations to the moon, we can make things hum on its rugged surface. Such an experiment would involve, "the use of a gigantic coil, mounted vertically, with its axis in line with the moon." The pro - jotter of the scheme adds: "If, lives exist upon the lunar surface, if the murmur front the earth be heard, they will listen with sadness; they will feel that utter de- spair that brooks no consolation and stretches out its arms in vain." It is to be hoped they would not tasks on in that way; it would he poor thanks to the man who built the gigantic coli. Newspaper Walls. Yesterday's cable told us that cholera has appeared at Brest.

A woman loses her chief A The "Old Lady of Threadneedle Street" when she begins to let her head keeps a good watch upon her treasures. her heart. One room alone—the specie room—is esti- mate to contain gold coins of the total value of £5,000,000. It is a large vault, around whose walls are numerous iron safes, containing bags of gold, each repre- senting the value of £2,000.. What the total value of the Bank of England's con- sents may be difficult to say, but £20,000,- 000 would be a fair estimate. Day and night is this wealth vigorously guarded. Even if a burglar were able to pass the bank guards on duty during the night, he would find himself face to face with unsuspected and insurmountable ob- stacles. The safety of the Bank of Eng- land is further insured by a magnificent system of electric wires, all of which com- ;nunicate with the quarters of the bank guards and elsewhere. Once a burglar touched these wires he would alarm every- one within hearing distance, and the thief would fall an easy prey. The difficulties 1 in the way of opening the safes are also Homeric. Many of them are by Chubb, they will stand anything, except dyna- mite, and in making use of that explosive the burglar would probably find himself—. to use an Irlshism—in pieces the next morning; Every bank and -insurance company's office in London has its own strong room and safes, in which may be stored valu- ables, etc. The strong rooms of Coutts' bank are a sight to sea, and if their con- tents could ho revealed it would be found that more crowned heads than the Queen deposit their moneys and valuables in that old establlehutent in the Strand. The newer banks probably possess even safer strong rooms, for in their construction the latest Improvements are incorporated. The safes and deed boxes used by the Safe De- posit Company are remarkable for their security. Deeds! and share certificates, representing a value of hundreds of thou- sands of pounds. are stored in them, and most of the boxes are fitted with combina- tion keys so constructed as to prevent any one picking them or solving the combina- tion puzzle, which is of a most intricate description. In nearly every came the big banks are chary of speaking of the man- ner in which they keep their treasures. One bank permits only its manager and an assistant to visit certain strong rooms while another, to guard against any ten- dency shown by the watchman to fall aeleep,presents its servants with chairs on which they can sit in a certain position. If one falls asleep and moves in the chair, the furniture closes up and throws him upon the floor. The result is that, unless the watchmen can sleep while standing or walking, the employes of the bank are bound to keep their eyes open. A Bothered Terrier. A rat, a terrier, and a small boy caused thousands of l,eeplc' to congregate on West Madison street about si o'clock last night, and it was not a real rut, either. The rat, which was a most natural -looking rubhcr affair,was connected with a long thin `pipe and a bulb Every tine+ the boy sy,teezod the bull) the rust would leap forward in a most life -like manner anti the ladies on the street would shriek with terror and then gather up their skirts, This delight- ed the cr',wd, which syrged down on the boy and the rat from every direction. The fun was kept up for an hour or more, even the policeman on the heat stopping now and then fur a good laugh. Suddenly, however, a sleek -looking rat terrier sprang through the crowd and made for his mor- tal enemy. Down he pounced. The boy gave the bulb a jab and the rat leaped about six feet. Again the dog made a spring. This time he caught the rat in his teeth and the pressure caused it to give out a most life -like syneak,which delight- ed the dog and the audience alike. By this time the street was packed. Time after time the dog would shake the rat and put it down, only to see it leap again, to the wild delight of the crowd. For the first half hour it was mere play to the plucky little terrier, but after a while things began to grow monotonous. The dog lay down for a rest and the rat jump- ed over him. This was too much for can- ine flesh and blood to stand. He leaped up again, and now the contest kept up until the dog fell to the pavement from sheer "exhaustion. Panting and with eyes pro- truding, he made a few more ineffectual snaps at the rubber tat, then turned over 1 on his side and laid his head on the pave- I a meat. His owner worked his way through the crowd, picked up his pet in his arms, uttered a few remarks, and offered to lick the man who had killed his dog. The crowd jeered ami dispersed, while the small boy strolled down the street in the search of another ambitions rat terrier. DONT'S FOR FISHERMEN. Don't use. a cod line for brook trout,. or a trout line for cud. Don't desecrate the gentle art by male ing on a spawning bed. Don't give an eel slack line so that his can tie it full of knots. Don't fish where the fish don't bite; move on to anoher spot. Don't peep over the bank to see where fish are in the brook. -Don't—don't—don't ever call a brook trout a "speckled beauty." Don't fail to commune with nature; that's half the fun of fishing. Don't think that the best fishing tackle is made by saloon -keepers. Don't forget to change the water fre- quently In the minnow -bucket. Don't boast that you can wind your• brand-new rod round a barrel. Don't put bait in your pocket where it is liable to get into you pipe. Don't bang dead fish over the side of th boat—water will spoil them. Don't let your boatman stop rowing i you strike a fish when trolling.' Don't let a fish leap into the air, an then fall back on a tautened line. Don't use a two -pound sinker ft) brook fishing—half a pound will do. Don't forget when you cast that yo companions have feelings and ears. Don't think that a four -ounce rod wil work better in both hands at ono. Don't buy live bait too far ahead; liable to die and demand interm .lt. Don't ridicule the small boa with aj beanpole for a rod; he generally gets ai mess. Don't try to slip the landing net over] a fish tail -foremost; put it over his head. Don't believe all,the natives tell you; about the big pool down under they bridge. Don't forget that patience is a virtue and the foundation of successful fishing. Don't curse the tree when it gathers In your leader and flies; it was not all its fault. Don't fail to put up the bars v ^n let down to get into a farmer's meat. w. Don't trespass on your nei»abor's stream if he wants ; you to fish there he will ask you. Don't sit on the taff rail of a yacht in a ten -knot breeze with a bluefish line fast to your waist. Don't laugh when the other man loses; a fish; men have been' murdered for lessi provocation. Don't try to empty rubber boots by standing on youv head and way _. yens legs in the air. l' t Don't leave your fish exposed in the boat while you go ashore; the neighbor- hood cats may eat them. Don't wear cotton clothing if there's a risk of getting wet; wool, even when soaked, will keep you warm. Don't throw sardine cans and broken bottles into the brook ; they may do evil to your own tackle some future day. Don't try to wade a brook more than five feet deep; if it is absolutely necessary to wade, take off your clothes and swim. Don't boss your friend when he is try- ingland to a d a flash; he may know almost tvi much as you do about the gentle art. Don't open your creel in the middle of'a swift stream and on slippery bottom; you are likely to lose your fish if you do. Don't go to sleep with a trolling rod hanging over the side or stern of the boat; it le apt to get broken or hauled overboard. Don't try to lift a two -pound trout aid of the brook with a four -ounce rod; you're likely to lose fish, rod, and salvo - ion if you do. Don't try to explain to your friende how you lost the biggest fish of the day, when It is just as easy to show how many you did catch. Don't use a reel with more than triple gear; when 'you find it necessary to have greater speed in "reeling up," get a steam winch'or a mine hoist. Don't talk about "killing fish," "giv- ng him -the -butt," "covering -his -rise, nd other sporting slang, when you can' tell a trout from a tomcod. Don't throw away your unused bait on shore; throw it into the water, where it may make things attractive for the flab and more sport for you on the morrow. it A Statnrmerer's Wit. 'in one of the old stage routes of eastern Maine was a jolly driver whose habit of stammering was the occasion of some in- nocent amusement on the part of his friends. Orn day his lumberng coach was stopped by at foot passenger who inquired the way to the next town. The driver attempted to tell him, but no words came. At last, waving his hand desperately toward a fork n the road, he said: "T -t -try both roads and you'll g -het there 'fore I c' -can't tell you. On another oceeei,n he was helping an uncomfortably stout man into the coach, The man was so large that there was more or less delay in finding him sufficient room. Irritated by the attention he had attracted, the passenger exclaimed, in Imitation of the driver: "There! s -tart up your old b -b -bean -pot of a t -team. "All r ready, n -now, sir,—we've g -got the p -pork in!" was the laughing reply. She Was Beyond Milk. Little Isabel's mother had injudiciously allowed the child to drink weak tea with her meals instead of milk.
