What to Name the Baby.

The most serious problem that now
assails the fashionable mother is what
name or names she shall bestow on
her newly arrived little daughter; for
it has of late become the mode for
every young woman to possess as
many initials as a royal princess.
Happily there has come an active
revulsion against the diminutive, aud
tits proper that all girls now be spok-
en- to and of as Anne or Josephine,
Catherine or Eleanor, in place of the
silly and stupid Annie and Josie,
Kitty and Nellie. No more does the
well-regulated debutante venture to
give her name distinction by unique
spelling, as Edyth, Kathryn, Corah,
etc. She keeps her baptismal name
pure and simple; and now many a
worthy clergyman is filled with an as
tonlshed qualification when at baptism
godmother announces her little
charge as Deborah Patience Susannah
Melville Jones. The whole of thi
Extensive title is engr aved Oh the
cards Mrs. Jones sends out with her
own to apprise her friends of Miss
Jones safe arrival. The Deborah
and Susannah are careful selections
from the Biblical list now SO much
favored that we hear of baby Esthers,
Naomis, Vashtis, Judiths, and Ra-
chefs, by the score. Patience is in
imitation of the Puritan love for nam.

The fiscal year which began on
July is now one-third over. In
these four months the deficit of the
revenues under the Wilson tariff has
been SIG, 100000. AT this rate the
deficiency for the entire year will be
nearly S5O,OOO,000. There is nc
reason for surprising that this absurd
and dishonest measure will ever pro-
duce any more income than it does
to-day. Democratic tariff tinkering
has already resulted in increasing the
national debt by $4,000, 1000. II

roseate prophecies have all been ex.
