A long name is always disadvantage.
For boy who enters the marts of trade
a double name is often a safeguard, and
especially so when the middle letter is
one seldom used in proper names. The
leading name should be short and easily
spoken, as the fact is too apparent 10
every one that if such is not the case a
nickname IS sure to follow. The case
of the girl is entirely different. No
girl should be burdened with double
name, no matter how many aunts and
grandmothers are to be hOnOred by so
doing. A girl should have single
name, and that should be pronounce
able and musical. Mehitabel or Jerusha,

should not lose her family name by so

by this important act of her life, and
not before.

The Goles ON the Treaty of Berlin
Causes (which Led To Russia's DiscOnn-

zaaanded.
= LONDON, Sept. 15.-The PaA MoH Gasctte
has the following: The st. Petersburg Gotos
says the treaty OF Berlin has produced almost
a crushing impression on the Russian public.
1t is felt that Russia has not attained her
object, has been deceived by her friends and
has fooishly helped her enemies with her
victories. What Is the reason Of our failure
One-half our population perished in the war,
hundreds Of millions have been expended and
yet the Eastern question Is not solved.
The treaty of Berlin is merely truce. The
last war has clearly shown all our national
pecuIiarities as well as our moral and ma
terial strength. All the military require
ments which depended on the inbred qualities
of Russian soldiers were brilliantly carried
out, but where knowledge and preparation
were demanded, we were not equal to the
task.
It was probably this reason that we felt SO
much hurt on reading of the boldness of Lord
Beaconsfeld, who doubtless reckOned on the
superior culture of Englishmen to that Of the
Russians All classes of Russian society are
responsible. We do no. estimate culture and
knowledge at their true value.
