Frugal Prussians.

Prussia's financial strength lies in the
triot economy of her people. 1t is aston
shing how saving the average Prussian
>. No matter how taXridden, no matter
low small their earnings. nineteen out OF
very twenty laborers, mechanics and
mall tradesmen manage to save out OF
heir income. Servant girls, for instance
,ut of annual wages of $40 or $50 nearl.
llways save half of that amount, and
when they marry there is ecough to start
housekeeping on free of debt and with 9
mai! sum of 800 or 500 in bank. A strik-
hg illustration of this saving quality OF
ne toiling population is furnished by the
atest report of the Municipal Savings
sank of Berlin. That is as safe as any.
nlng under heaven. but the interest paid
correspondingly lOw-3 per cent or less
Yet on March 81, 1885, there was in this
sank on deposit matter of 17,S6O, ,66s
marks, and on March 81, 1897, there was
n Increase in deposits of 1.210.627 marks
The number of savings bank books issued
" this institution was 81, ,064 and the av-
rage Individual deposit was 337 marks.
Thus 1t will be seen that nearly every
tdult labOrer in Berlin, and the ma
prity Of their wives and .sweethearts, had
money ON deposit despite the very low
wages of many of them. The bank
ileared net profit for the city OF 1062, So.

Naming ths Baby.

A Hindu baby Is named when II days
old, and usually by the mother. Some
times the father wishes for another name
than that selected by the mother: In that
dase two lamps are placed over the two
names. and the name over which tho
amp burns brightest is the one given to
the child.
In the Egyptian family the parents
!hoose a name for their baby by lighting
three wax candles; to each of these they
give a name, one of the three always be-
Onging to some defied parsonage. The
:andle that burns the longest bestows the
name upon the baby. M
The Mohammedans sometimes write de-
sirable names on five slips of paper, and
.hese they place In the Koran. The name
Upon the first slip drawn out Is given to
the child.
The children Of the Amos, people liv.
hg in northern Japan. do not receive
heir names until they are five years old.
It Is the father who then chooses tht
lame by which the child is afterwards tc
he called. es, ~ 49,
The Chinese give their boy babies q
lame in addition to their surnames, an6
they must call themselves by these namet
Until they are 20 years old. At that age
he father gives his son i.ew name. y.
The Chinese care 50 little for. their girl
babies that they do not give them a baby
1ame. but Just call them number one
number two. number three, number four.
md so on, according to. their birth.
