Every dollar of fixed and stable value

WHAT TO CALL THE BABY.
Difficulties of Parents in Selecting
Names of Their Offspring.

Names of Their Offspring.
From the New York World
The names Molly and Polly, Annie and
Nan, Maggie ard Pegge. Nancy and Nan,
are just as much in vogue today as in the
olden time, and in all probability will con-
tinue to lie given as Christian names to
baby girls for all time.
We do not find French women taking
their ancestors to task for bestowing up
on them unga!nly names, for the taste of
the French in names is proverbial. There
is no Peggie in the French tongue When
they tired of Mary they changed it to the
sweet name Marie. Ann became Annette,
sprightly and bright.
Some parents refused to give first names
to their children. referring that the chill
diem themselves should choose their own
names 1t is often a positive handicap to
a man of parts to have an ineuphonious
name. In many cases ignorant parents
rave gone wrong in their selection of
names for their offspring, and more than
once girl baby has been called Jezebel
and boy baby Ananias. The Rev. James
B. Valley. g Methodist minister, who
preached many years in New York told,
with great enjoyment, of lisping mother
who took her baby to the font in the
church to be baptized and christened.
When the divine took it in his arms, pre-
paratory to christening it, he asked the
lisping mother what he should name it,
The parent replied, "Luci'thir." Indignant
ly the minister remarked:
''Lucifer! Lucfer! Never will 1 name
child that Then he continued, as he
sprinkled the water upon the brow of the
girl baby, George Washington, l baptiZe
thee" &c, and the girl was thereafter so
called.
1t is fact that fashion in names changes
in cycles of less than century. At pres
ent there seems to be a tendency toward
odd names. Some of the popular ones are
Dor othy, Rhoda, Edna and Angelina. Ada
is quite common, and Almra comes down,
it would appea.' from the country towns to
adorn city beauties. Agatha, Viola, Maude,
Jessie, Olga, Odette Olive, Inez Isabel,
Hortense Rosalind. Beatrice, Naomi, Mig
non, Mildred, Lillian, Leonora, Kathleen,
Ida, Estelle. Gertrude Gladys, Grace Gene
We've, Gabrielle, Henrietta, Edith, Felice,
Fedora. Frederick, Eunice, Florence. Eloisa
Emmeline. Cora, Cynthia, Cloe, Cordelia.
Beulah, Bertha, Blanche, Ruth, Veronica
are among the hundreds of unccmmonly
odd names, chosen not only for their odd
ness, but for their euphoniousness as well,
while their meaning adds interest to them
and makes the burden of their weight an
easy load to cary.
A mother sometimes delights in perpetu-
ating the nams of her grandmother who
bore the name of her great-grandmother,
and thus these very old names descend by
the choice of the parent. Ann nowadays
sounds harsh. and Betsy seems common.
Betsy cores to be Bessie and Ann Annie,
and 90 instance is known of Mindwell hav-
ing Hne audacty to call herself Minnie.

They Need to be Handled With the
Same Care ms Race Horses.
From the Philadelphia Record.
1t may not be generally known that To-
ccmotives intended for express trains re-
quire as much training. in their way, for
Pennsylvania Railroad Company builds its
own engines ard those built for express
trains are known as class P. They are very
sarga, and built with slight variations,
after the pattern Of the big English en-
CINE imported into this country several
years ago, and which at that time was
a curiosity in its way. When one of these
big engines was taken cut of the shops
to be placed on the road, instead of put
ting it to the work it is intended for at
once it is run for two or three weeks on
some one of the local branches, in order
to train it, SO to speak, for faster running.
By this means all the bearings and jour-
come settled to their work; for, should any
thing about the new machine not work har-
moniously, there is ample time to adjust
the defect. Usually the new engine
proves troublesome on account of its pro-
persity to make fast time and at almost
every station the train is found to be
little ahead of schedule time, and must
wait for from ten seconds to a minute.
No. $780, of class P, will be running one
day on an accommodation train, but will
soon be flying over the road as an express
at the rate, in many places, of a mile
minute.

THE HOTEL STEER.

SO Called Because He Sizes I'm the
stranger as to What He VIII Pay.
From the Philadelphia Times.
A new face was noticed the other night be-
hind the desk of a very swell hotel Several
OF a group made inquiring comment upon
the presence of the stranger. An old hotel
man stood by. Said he:
why, that is, next to the proprietor, the
most valuable man about this establish
ment. He is a 'sizer.' the cleverest in the
business"
There was naturally query in chorus as
what was meant by 'sizer," and the hotel
man explained that he was a trusted and
confidential hotel employee who sized up
what each patron of the establishment is
willing to pay for the service accorded him.
inns Is an inrer mystery of the hotel bus
mess that has never publicly been revealed.
Humanity is read most easily in a public
nostelry. There every kind of human being
Is seen on full parade with all the foibles of
mankind exp, sed to the public gaze 1t is a
great object lesson: an exhibition Of the
weaknesses and the vanities of ourselves
and our fellows. The hotel man who under
stands this, gauges it, and feels its pulse, is
a sure winner.
Hence every hotel in the prominent cities
of this country. especially in New York,
employs sizer," who is paid a large sal
airy. He must be a keen Judge of human
nature When statesman of high renown
registers his name upon the hotel book this
functionary fondles him with attentions

ms bill shall be small Big statesmen are
advertisements to a public house. Fellow
statesmen flock around them and buy wine.
Newspapers interview Them and publish the
name of the hotel where they are staying.
Little tadpoleS in the political pond carry
their grtpsacks to where the big bullfrogs
are croaking. The "Sizer' insures such COM
fort to the great man that he returns to the
hotel again and again until it finally becomes
known as his headquarters
But some one must pay for what the great
newly rich fellow. The "sizer' demon
strates his ability by the estimate he places
upon people of this class. There is prob
ably popular impression to the effect that
in all the swell hotels in the large cities
there is regular price fixed for the occu-
pancy OF each room, depending upon it's size,
the floor it is on, and whether it has parlor
rever a more mistaken idea. The "szer"
determines what you shall pay. His eyes
fathom not only your pocket book but your
disposition. Many men, especially the new
ly rich, although they may not know how to
live at home, like a princely estimate placed
upon their tastes and habits when they are
travelling. To such as these the "siZer''
says:

that am enabled to accommodate you with

IN A SLEEPING CAR.
The Deplorable Result of n Change OF
Berths Made Late at Night.

From the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
my friend and had secured two lower
berths opposite each other. He was not
smoker, SO he concluded to tumble in, while
went forward to the smoking compartment
for a cigar before 1 followed his example.
Possibly ! found the game of cards which
was in progress between two commercial
travellers interesting, or else the cigar was
more soothing than usual: but however 1t
was remained longer than had intended
I'm the meantime we had made a stop and
taken on a couple of passenSers-an aged
couple of dignified and aristocratic appear
ance. Every lower berth was taken and
over half of the uppers, so the worthy pair
were not jubilant over the prospect OF climb
ing into an upper berth, and their objections
were plainly audible to others than the
porter. At last that sable gallant driven to
his wits end, came in to where sat placidly
smoking, apparently unconscious of what
had been going on in the car. With depre-
eating air, he approached and asked me If
would exchange my lower berth for an up
per In favor of the old people. readily as
scented, and the couple, grateful and con-
tented, Immediately took possession and
judging from the duo of discordant vocal
sounds which soon emanated from lower
49, they had fallen into peaceful slumber
I'm the meantime my friend, being heavy
sleeper, was quite unconscious of the change
that had been made in the arrangements So.
early in the morning he crawled out and pro-
Ceeded TO get MS SHOES from under the Dertn,
sitting upon the edge of the bed while he
leisurely drew on one shoe. Then he began
to think l had enjoyed myself undisturbed
quite long enough, and commenced to shake
the curtains and call me to get up. Meeting
with no response, he concluded to make it
more effectual, SO he calmly drew aside the
curtains, noticing nothing unusual In the
dim light, and gave several resounding slaps
with the remaining shoe upon the most OBJ
vious portion of the anatomy. At the same
time he called out Come, aren't you ever
going to get up?
For answer several feminine shrieks rent
the air, while two wrathful faces rose up and
confronted my friend, who shrank back
aghast. Every head popped out between the
curtains, my own included, but quickly
grasping the situation l sank back con-
vulsed. In the meantime the porter had APP
peared, and in due course of time and with
many explanations succeeded in pacifying
the aged couple.
