"Wilat shall We name the baby :" is
an important ques ion this year, for
the crop, Ike the wheat, was never
better. 1t is rather soon to undertake
to grade them as No. 1, No. ,, or re-
iacted." and your head and reputation
are both safer to pronounce the entire
lot No. 1 but the question as to names
must be settled at once. One would
think nothing was easier than naming
the baby, for the world has been full
Of names for 5000 years. yet it is a
subject that ELECTS the ~gravest discus
sion in the family, and reaches out to
the ..advisory board" of the neighbor-
hood, and often ends in open dissatis-
faction. or a compromise by which the
poor child goes through life carrying
a prenOmen crushing enough to break
the constitution and make the life OF
the bearer miserable. A long name is
always a disadvantage. For a boy
who enters the marts of trade a double
name is often a safeguard, and eSpe-
cially 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 appa-
rent to every one that If such is no
the ease a nickname is sure to follow.
The ease of the girl is entirely d]ffe-
rent. No girl should be burdened
with d double name, no matter how
many aunts and grandmothers are to
be honored by SO doing. A girl should
have a single name, and that should
be prOnOunceable and musical.
Mehitabie or JerUSha. and like nameS
may be good and substantial enough,
but a young lady sooner or later re
volts. Every young lady, as a matter
of course, expects to marry, and
should not lose her family name by so
doing, but simply add that Of her hus-
band. She should get her double name
by this important act Of her life, and
not before Chicago Inter Ocean.

A Virginia gentleman of scientific
turn of mind, who has been a great
sufferer during the past summer from
the drought, has aspired to a new
science-that of controlling the clouds
in order to aus it to rain at will.
He has built a rain tower" thirty
feet in diameter at the base and forty
feet high. This tower contains four
flues, ard two of them extend twenty
feet above the tower. The method bv
which rain is to be produced is to fill
the tiues with dry pine wood, which is
set on fire. and kept burning until the
desired effect appears in the form of
raln-clouds. The originator of this
move idea firmly believes in the utility
of his invention. although he has made
repeated trials, and thus far the heav-
n have been unprOpitious.

Many facts are coming to light show
ing that the materials used to produce
many of the fashionable colors in ar
ticles of dress are highly poisonous.
Stockings and gloves have been found
impregnated with dangerous sub
stances the lining Of hats has caused
serious trouble, as also the Innings of
boots and shoes. In Troy, New York,
the recent death of a child was attrib-
uted to the arsenic sucked from a veil
thrown over its face. Dress goods Of
silk, wooden and cotton reveal large
quantities of arsenic. Certainly the
use Of dangerous dyes should be strict
ly prohibited. and some safe ones
should be invented.

An Attempt to make it Rain.

Says the american Nonth1y: "a
gentleman who resides near Boydton
Va. has aspired to a new science-that
of controlling the clouds in order to
cause it to rain at will. With the
view of attaining this end he built a
"a rain tower" which novel structure
is said to be thirty feet II diameter at
the base which size it retains to the
height of forty feet. To this heighe
it contains four hueS, each seven feet
in diameter. The number of 1ues is
then reduced to two, which run up
twenty feet higher, the top of the
structure reaching an altitude Of sixty
feet. The whole concer was erected
at a cost of about 81. 900. The meth>
Cd of causing rain to fall as follows !:
The fiues are filled with dry pine wood
which is set on fire, and which is kept
up until the desired effect is produced
on the elements. His theory is. that
the great heat produced in the air
above the tower" will cause the
clouds to concentrate over it. when
plenty of rain Will fall in that vicinity.
The originator of this novel idea is
said to be a firm believer in the prac-
ticability and utility of his invention,
Notwithstanding the fact that after
repeated trials. during which he con
sumed hundreds of cords of wood, his
tower failed to produce the desired
effect on the unpropitious heavens, he
having been a great sufferer from
drought during the entire spring and
summer.

A mistake of a single letter in 81

A mistake of a single letter in se-d-
ing a telegram sometimes causes sin
gular results. The C0ut Jo7unal tells
Of a director Of the Southwestern
Railway who, bei"g about to take a
trip to the North with his family, tele-
graphed to Berwick on-Tweed to have
the largest saloon carriage sent for
him. On his arrival with his family
at the terminus he asked for the sa-
loon. There was none The director
was indignant. Had he not ordered
one? Where could his saloon be: At
last a porter observed, IF there's no
saloon for you, there's a salmon = and
be pointed to one weighing forty-eight
pounds. with the directors name on
it. Upon inquiry it turned out that
the telegram was worded, Send up at
once the largest salmon YOU al pro
cure" Still more indignant, the dis
rector went to the telegraph clerk and
said, do you know who | am And
the clerk guessed.

Our Agricultural Journals.

The number of good agricultural pa
pers in the State is one sign of a grow-
ing demand for information on the
important subject of agriculture !; and
while we are fully aware that not one
of those Journals is sustained as it
ought to be by reason of the large ma
.iority which the farming class consti-
tutes, and by their ability, if there
We're the will, to give liberal support.
yet there Is encouragement to them all
in the fact that three such excellent
journals have been called into exis-
tence. There is hope, since they have
been originated that they will grow
and receive due support under the adj
mitted truth that the preiudices
against what has been enormously
stigmatized as book farming are diving
under juster appreciation If the char
acter OF farm literature. Really, as we
have had occasion frequently to re-
peat, there is nothing that savors Of
d0oE Farming, in the periodical which
engaged III agricultural enlightment.
If, by that term, Is meant to be con
veyed the idea of abstract theories
without practical application: of
scientific deductions from the expert

assumption of the superior wisdom
that reading or learning gives over the
crude practices endeared to custom

Counting Electoral Votes.

The main feature of the bill reported
in the Senate by Mr.. Edmunds, on the
subject of the electoral votes for Presi-
dent and Vice President, is provision
that no electoral vote from any State
from which but one return has been re-
ceived shall be rejected, except by the
affirmative vote of both houses of Con-
gress, and that in case more than one
return is received from any State, the
votes only shall be counted of those
electors whose title, as electors the two
houses acting separately shall concur
rently decide, is supported by the de-
cision of the lawful tribunal of such
State provided for by its legislature. In
other words, all returns which are not
contested, shall stand, unless rejected
by the concurrent action of both houses
of Congress and all contested returns
shall be rejected, unless one or the other
is affirmed by the concurrent action Of
both houses. This rule would ensure a
prompt decision, which is the main
thing to be desired it would also en-
sure plentiful crop of contests, when
ever the Senate and House are of differ
ent political compilations.
