NAMING BABIES,
REGULAR Customs Observed bv
Different Nationalities.

Peculiar Customs Observed by
Different Nationalities.
In some countries curious customs
prevail in regard to selecting a.name
for the baby.
A Hindoo baby is named when it is
II days old, and usually by the
mother. Sometimes thefather wishes
Tor another name than that selected
by the mother; in that case two
lamps are placed over the two names,
and the name over which the lamp
burns the brightest is the one given
to the child.
In an Egyptian family the parents
choose name for their baby by light
ing three wax candles, to each of these
they give a name, one OF the three
always belonging to some deifed
parsonage. The candle that burns
the longest bestows the name upon
the baby:
The Mohammedans sometimes
write desirable names on five slips of
paper, and these they place in the
Koran. The name upon the first
slip drawn out is given to the child,
The children of the Amos, a people
living IN Northern Japan, do not
receive their names until they are 5
years old. It is the father WHO then
chooses the name by which the child
is afterward called.
The Chinese i've their boy babies
name in addition to their surnames,
and they must call themselves by
these names until they are 20 years
old. At that age the father gives his
son q new name.
The Chinese care so little for their
girl babies that they do not give them
baby name, but just call them
Number One, Number Two, Number
Three, according to their birth. s
Boys are thought so much more of
IN China than girls are that if you ask
Chinese father who has both a boy
and a girl how many children he has
he will always reply: "Only one.
child"
German parents sometimes change
the name OF their baby if it is ill; and
the Japanese are said to change the
name of q child four times. ~

A little lad who had become inter

Gospel to the heather, hit upon this
happy device. He rummageaa i'm the
garrett and found an old fashioned
powder horn, which he decided to
make into a missionary box. His
brother said he might have the horn,
but wondered what he was going to
do with it. The large end OF the horn
had a wooden bottom, and Eddie
scraped it smooth, and asked his
brother if he would cut some letters
on it. Eyes" said his brother, and

AN .ocToBER LYRIC.

Sing me a song of October, a sc.lg of the
sleeping hills
In mst-veiled robes of purple Jewell cd
with ripping rills;
Sing of the shining sea, that lazily lanquid
ly lies
the motionless skies.
Sing of the whispering woods in the hush
of the afternoon.
Softly Gliding the wind for stealing their
leaves too soon,
And of the wee wild birds, half tame in the
languorous calm,
Dipping into the pools forgetting all fear
Sing of the chrysanthemums, with their
ragged splashes of light;
Saffron, amethyst, pink, gold and cardinal
bright; s.as--
Sunsets radiant hues in the sunset of the
Laid on neutral background of grasses
dull and sere. 49,.
What shall the music be-a ballard, stirring
and gay?
Or shall the words be set to sad and sor-
rowful lay? -s
Hank! The sea to the mountains drowsily
murmurs 'Rest."
And the falling leaves are signing, 'slum-
Der, repoSe is best
Sing then, a lullaby that is neither grave
nor gay,
Leaving out the tomorrow. forgetting the
yesterday;
Only the peaceful present with neither
promise nor pain;
And, oh, my singer, sing IN childhoods
careless strain.
A perfume haunts the music-is it of
springs trail flowers?
The words are echoes dim of summers pas
sonate hours;
And last October pictures of things that
might have been
Rise with the words and music as through
curtain seen.
All me! That last October-its promise and
its light!
The dear, dear face that hallowed it, the
hopes that made it bright!
But November's twilight darkened, the win
ters night crept on
All, cease thy lay, my singer, the time for
song has gone.

III the same undesirable condition of
mind. Things had gone so decidedly
wrong with him all the week that he
felt he could not withhold much longer
his indignation at fate, or whatever it
was that had proved sufficiently in
terested in his affairs in general, and
himself in particular, to be guilty Of
having caused to happen an innumer-
able number OF events calculated to
vex and annoy him. He hoped that
fate. or whatever it was, derived the
required amount OF pleasure from the
fact OF his being vexed and annoyed.
For himself, he would have experience
ed an unreasonable amount of re-
lief could he have been granted the
privilege Of breaking down, trampling
upon and entirely destroying every
thing breakable and destroyable in
the house.
Mrs. BagIy's anger was no less real
and intense, albeit more conventional.
Her feelings had been wrought up to
such an extent by household troubles
that she felt she must have satisfac-
ton out Of some one and who was
the proper person if not her husband?
For what had she married him? She
was in that admirable frame of mind
In which she wished some one would
Try to pet her, that she might have
the delicious pleasure of refusing to be
petted. She saw Mr.. Bagly was angry
but did not care. What right had he
to be so when she was? Ladies' first
always.
Mr. Bagly perceived there was some
thing unusual in the manner of his
wife, but would not condescend to
Investigate. He must be inquired
into now. He glared savagely at
everything on the table in turn and
cheWed his food very much after the
manner OF camel, under the impress
sion that it made him look fierce. He
did not deign to taste his tea, but
swallowed a quantity, which of course
burned his mouth and added new
heat to choler. He did not care to
open hostilities, but waited to be
reused; then he would overwhelm her
petty passion with the very immensity
of his own. He would lay bare the
tragic side of his nature ii she stirred
him up as he hoped she might.
Mrs. Bagly was impatient to begin.
She was afraid she might forget some
OF the things she wanted to say.
