NAMfNG THE BABY.

| Representative Clark of Haddam was
 in good working order yesterday, and
 he improved the shining hour by in-
 troducing several bills. One of them
 is of deep interest to thousands of
 hearts and homes in this State. It is
 that one which provides that "every
 child hereafter born in this State shall
 for the purpose of registration, as di-
 rected by section 103 of the statutes of 1887, be named by it's parents or guardians and it's name given to the attending physician or midwife, writ
 ten, three days after it's birth"
 This bill looks, on the face of it, like
 cold matter connected with vital
 statistics. But it is much more than
 that. Perhaps Representative Clark
 has had experience in naming a baby
 or has watched the process in others.
 He has probably seen the hesitation
 of the parents of a baby, undecided whether to call it after one of them
 selves or after some aunt or uncle who
 has money. He has seen day after day
 slip by, week after week and even
 month after month, with no decision
 of the momentous question. He has seen similar slipping while the mother
 of 8 baby has been fighting for the privilege of calling it Maude. while the father of it has been struggling to label it Sarah Jane And perhaps he knows of case where baby has gone un- named for years because of the im- possibility of agreement or even com promise between the two contending factions. The writer knows of such a case where baby came to be six years old before it was decided whether he should be called Reginald Montmor- ency or John. He was finally called Reginald Montmorency, and is strug- gling through life laden with those names-a conspicuous monument to the persistency and the power of Woman and striking illustration of the unfit 1 ness of things.
 If Representative Clarl1s baby bill | becomes law vital statistics will cer- tainly improve. But it's chief benefit will be in adding to the peace of families. It will be a good thing to | shut off debate concerning the baby's | name at the end of three days. All l can be said in that time that needs | to be said and more too And the | baby is likely to be as we'll and ap- | named in three days as in three years. The only fair objec- tion we can see to the bill is that in some eases mothers would not be able to take their due part in the discussion. They could, however, give a proxy to some female relative or friend and could thus be sure that their views would be ably, volubly and voluminous- ly upheld. So this objection is not en- titled to have much weight. And speaking of weight, there is usually haste to know how many pounds of baby there is. Having ascertained what there is of it, why should there be needless or acrimonious delay in labelling 1t? There should be more business and less sentiment in the nam- ing of babies. Three days is long Many man has made or ost name in less than that time.

An insurance journal has recently col lected statistics of suicides in the United States. Many of the facts gathered are surprising, but the most singular and perplexing is the fact that "the classi- fication by condition shows a greater proportion of suicides among the mar ried men than among the unmarried men, which is contrary to the accepted theory" Contrary it certainly is to the statistics of Europe, where the fact that more bachelors than benedicts shuttle off their mortal coil voluntarily, has long been cited as one of the most ob- Nious reasons for entering the holy state of matrimony.

According to the income tax returns in Prussia for the year just closed, there are only two men in that country having an income exceeding $1,0OO,OOO. One of these is Herr Krupp and the other Is Baron Rothschild, whose in- comes are given as about $2OOO,OOO each, and there are but 453 incomes above S50.O0O a year.

The California School of Mechanical Arts, the last of the numerous magni- ticent bequests made to the public by the late James Lick, is now open. The total amount of the endowment is $45O,- 900, of which $115,OOO has been expended in the construction and equipment of the building. Any graduate of a gram mar school or any boy or girl now en- rolled in the Last grammar grade of any California school, and any other appli- cant who can give evidence of ability to take up the course of this school, will be received. One hundred students have already been accepted, aad there are places for about fifty more.

A cheering indication that the worst is over is the large reduction of the amount of liabilities involved in the Failures of last month as compared with those of the corresponding month last year. It is well known that the largest proportion of failures is always in Jan uary, their causes always, of course running back into the preceding year. Thus in January, 1894, the total liabili- ties of those who went into bank ruptcy that month reached the large sum of $29, S43,O28, in consequence of the exceptional difficulties that beset trade in the latter part of 1893. But the total liabilities of the bankrupts of January, 1895, were but $15, ,1O3, ,292. which is not an exceptional amount for the first month of any year.

 One tndividual-the yard or house dog-plays an important part in the burglars calculations. The accom- plice must study his movements as mi nutely as a professor of natural histo- ry or prize fancier, and many a valua- ble animal has been incapacitated through this plan. Besides these pre- mature precautions, there are various for depreciation, and all manner of in tricate schemes are concocted to render detection or seizure almost impossible.
 Nets have been secured before the doors where an intruder has been feared, so that sudden entry would result in the disturber being securely noosed. Telescopic ladders have been reared at opposite windows to keep off the inmates from the exact quarter of the plunderers; and formidable nettings of fine rope and wire have been strung across grounds and front lawns where pursuer would most likely emerge.
 Yet these complicated proceedings- in description-are based on a system so scientific that the work of prepara- tion is effected in an incredible period of few minutes; the gathering togeth- CT of the paraphernalia being also ex- effected. These night-gen- try are usually well-dressed and edu- cated, and the secret workings of a se- lect gang are observed with a mystery that def1es the utmost scrutiny of the law, individual members suffering ar rest never splitting on their confed- erates-so that all the members of gang rarely meet with their deserts.

There are some things that cannot be done by law, as is shown by the working of the New York law 'in the interests of labor" requiring that all stone used in public works shall be worked, dressed and carved in the inn mediate vicinity of such works. It is estimated to increase the cost of public
 works where stone is used from 20 to 100 per cent, and in one particular case of street paving in New York city the works where stone is used from 20 to such extra cost. The rapid transit commissioners say that unless the law is repealed they will have to use brick instead of stone in constructing the proposed road. "Of course" says the

 Shawl draping is the newest thing for cloaks; that is, the garment is of the cape order but hangs in long point front and back with shawl effect The points come about to the knees. At the sides the cloak reaches to the hips or to the finger tips. This design is in demand for opera cloaks of the shorter varieties. The dolman finds new favor from being called cape. A favorite design has a yoke which fits out to the shoulders, points slightly in the back and reaches the waist nar- rowly in front.

A Paris doctor, who has been study ing the effect of liquors on the voice, states that none of the great singers have ever been teetotalers. Wine taken in moderation, he believes, is useful for the voice. but beer thickens it and makes it guttural. Malibran used to drink Madeira and eat sardines; Garcia took a gloria, cup of coffee with cog mac; Persiani nibbled an underdone chop; Dumesnil drank six bottles of champagne before singing, and thought each bottle improved the strength and quality of his voice. He was careful, however, not to drink to excess.

M. Raoul Pictet has been experiment. ing with cotton wool and other bad conductors at very low temperatures to test their power to prevent radiation. Copper cylinders were cooled down to ITO degrees below zero centigrade and packed in layers of cotton wool of vari- ous thicknesses. The cylinders rose to 80 degrees below zero very quickly, whether naked or packed in cotton wool twenty inches thick, the cotton wool acting like perfect conductor of heat. Above 80 degrees, however, the influence of the packing made itself felt, the rate of warming varying with the thickness of the layer.

indeed, devoid of Improvement

How many of our readers, nay,
how few, have given moment S

dearth of new business enter
prises, to the paucity of foreign
capital that has found it's way
hither and the meager investments
of home capital that have been
made since the beginning of last
summer. They may be satisfied
with the revenue derived from the
temporary sojourners seeking
health or recreation, but why
should they not lend q few
thoughts to the future? That
should certainly concern them
quite as much as the present; for
no one knows what the morrow
may bring forth, and it were wise
to prepare for contingencies that
might arise and force us to depend
upon other sources Of revenue.
