NAMING BABIES.
Peculiar Customs Observed b
Different NatIonallties.

Peculiar Customs Observed by
Different NatIonallties.
In some countries curious customs
prevail in regard to selecting a name
for the baby.
A Hindoo baby is named when it is
IL days old, and usually by the
mother. Sometimes hetather wishes
for 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 deified
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
years old. 1t is the father WHO then
chooses the name by which the child
is afterward called. "
The Chinese give their boy babies a
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 a new name.
The Chinese care so little for their
girl babies that they do hot give them
a baby name, but just call them
Number One, Number Two, Number
Three, according to their birth.
Boys are thought so much more OF
in China than girls are that if you ask
a 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 i'll; and
the Japanese are. said to change the
name OF q child four times.

Then this widely travelled young

the Oldest part OF Constantinople,
that they went to a reception given
by an Armenian lady, but recently
emancipated, and consequently able
to receive general company.
Escorted by son OF a grand vizier
and a beautifully handsome young
Turco- Greek, their sedan chairs were
borne along dark, tortuous streets,
through narrow, treacherous alley,
past secretive looking doorways, to a
great arched portal.

glowing colors and proceeded to seat
herself that this curious entertain
ment became at all livened. Drawing
her skirts primIy about her, she sat
gingerly on the very edge, with two
neat little toes carefully balanced tc

Then the young Greeks dignity was
lost in amusement; he laughed, and
begged permission to give afew lessons
in the art OF using couch. "Sit or

fury.
The yelled prophet was not a crea-
tion of mere fancy, but a genuine his
toric character of the eighth century,
says the Pittsburg Dispatch. His
name was Suakim Ben Allah, but he
called himself Mokanna the Yelled.
Having lost one eye from an arrow
wound, he wore thick veil to conceal
the deformity, and laid claim to be
the incarnation of the Deity. He had
many followers in Arabia, and soon
possessed himself of a large part of
that country, and was ACKNOWLEDGED
by a number of cities. His in
fuence was retained by many de-
vices, such being his skill in magic
and legerdemain that his tricks passed
for miracles.
Troops were sent against him by
the Caliph Mahdi, his armies were de-
feated in the field, and he was besieged

leaped into cistern which had been
partly filled with destructive acids.
When the conquerors forced way in
to the castle they searched in vain for
him or his body, the latter having
been entirely dissolved by the zorro
sive fluids. The secret was discovered
by the confession of one who had be-
held the preparations for suicide, but
in some parts of Arabia there are still
persons who believe that Mokanna
assembled to heaven.

Caring for Seed,

One of the most important items
with seed during the winter is to keep
it dry. Nearly all kinds of seed will
withstand considerable cold without
injury if dry, but if wet, the vitality
will often be considerably injured. In
nearly all cases corn, cane, or .other
kinds, whether garden or field, it will
be found good. plan to spread
out and dry thoroughly beforestoring
away, and then. by storing in q dry
place, they can be kept m a good con.
dition. 1t is not dry cold, but wet cold
that Injuries In nearly all cases seed
should be selected in the fall and kept
separate. A better quality can nearly
always be secured and this is impor-
tant. And after it is selected, then it
should be stored in way to keep it in
the best condition. 1t is better to pur-
chase seed than to risk the crops witk
those of an uncertain quality; but if
they are to be sowed from what is
grown on the farm, select in good sea-
son and store so as to keep in the best
condition at least.

The Commercial Future OF the Pa
nIfI0 ..T

William I'll. Seward once declared
that the Pacific Ocean would be the
scene of the greatest commercial activ-
ity Of the world. Taking up this
great prediction, Capt. William s..
Merry, who was for many years Sec
rotary of the San Francisco Chamber
of commerce, writes a glowing forecast
in the November Forum OF the COM
mercial future OF the Pacific states.
He shows the volume OF their present
commerce with all other countries,
pointing out how the commerce OF
Japan is at present worth much more
to us than the commerce of China.
The resources of these States are
clearly explained; but Captain Merry
finds reason to believe that they will
never reach their supreme commercial
development until the cheaper trans
portation which will be brought by a
trans-isthmian canal, is available;
but, after the cutting of the canal
through the isthmus, he shows how
the Pacific slope will rapidly become
the home of as great commerce as
the Atlantic slope, and perhaps even
greater.

A DREAM.

The reapers' merry laughter
Has echoed all day long;
The binders toiling after
With whistle and with song;
Now homeward roll the wagons,
As stars begin to shine,
And all the sunset tiagons
Have emptied out their wine.
The cornfleld's silken tassels
Are tossing to and fro,
As when we built our castles
In Spain so long ago;
And where the reeds sway lithely.
And ferns grow green and long,
The river flows on blithely
And sings the same old song.
We hushed our words and listened
To what its grooming told.
As lucent Hesper glistened
Above the harvest gold,
AS homeward rolled the wagons,
A dim and duSky line,
And all the sunset tiagons
Had emptied out their wine.

1t sung to me and yOu
InJune-time's mellow glory

Or if the dear ideal
Forever must remain
A thing of mist unreal,
