MIR. Blanks Terrible Dream.

Mrs. Blank went shopping. Mr..
Blank wen with her. No one can ex-
plain why he went. for she didn't posi-
lively compel it. and he is still regarded
as sane! He went, anyhow.
She wanted buttons. Those at Jenk-
ms store were too small. much too
small. So she went 10 Kahn's and Poz-
nanskrs and the Merchants Supply;
then to Poznanski's and the Merchants
Supply and Kahn's. AT jenkins again
they showed her the same buttons, and
she found them too large! Blank
guessed it q case of expansion caused
by the heat; it seemed hot to him! She
got almost to another place-not quite.
for they saw her coming and locked the
door for the night. She went home.
That night Blanks hard breathing

1t seems that a man went home from

and the wife had him arrested for as

The case went TO court and the judge
placed the husband under bonds to keep
the peace. He also said 10 the wife:
You. woman. go home and, temperance

your husbands dinner ready when he

This decision is all right so far as It

Some OF the Curious Methods Adopted by
People OF Different Countries.

A Hindu baby is named when 12davs
old, and usually bv the mother, a y n
writer in the n. Y. telegram. Some
times the father 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 the Egyptian family the parents
choose a name for their baby by light
ing three wax candles; to each of these
they give a name. one Of the three al
ways belonging to some deiiied person.
age. The candle that burns the longest
bestows the name upon the baby.
The Mohalnmedans sometimes write
desirable anne 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.
1t is the father who then chooses the
name by which the child is afterward to
be called.
The Chinese give their boy babies a
name in addition to their surnames,
and they must call themselves by these
m until they are 90 years old. At
that age the father gives his son a new

The Chinese care so little for their
