Naming Children In Persia.

The naming of the child in Persia is
made an event of great rejoicing and a
time for the gathering of relatives. When
the guests are assembled sweetmeats are
eaten, and then the infant in its swad-
ding clothes is brought in and laid on
the carpet in the center of the room by
one OF the priests. Five names are writ
ten on as many slips of paper and placed
between the leaves Of the Koran. A
chapter Is read from this book and then
one of the slips is drawn at random.
The name on the slip is the one the child
has to bear through life, and the priest
takes up the slip, pronounces the name in
the child's ear and places the piece of
paper in its clothes. Gifts and congratu-
lations follow.

NORWAY SAVINGS BANK.
Two More Bondsmen Have Walked Up
and Settled.

Norway, November 17.-There is no
doubt here as to what the decision of
Judge Strout will I've in regard to dis
solving the injunction on the Norway
savings bank. His delay in the mat
ter of granting the release is for the pur-
pose of preparing a statement that shall
reassure all the despositors to the abso-
lutte security of the bank. 1t is said
that the judge will be strong in his rec
concentrations of the institution on its
recognized basis.
Within "A hours two more of the
bondsmen have settled with the bank,
leaving only one outside and the bank
will have authority TO commence suit
against him to compel the payment of
the amount apportioned to him as sure
ty. A. S. Kinbell, by an election just
held, has succeeded Cyrus S. Tucker as
president of the bank, and A. +. An
drews has been chosen the new director
to fill the vacancy on the board. Every
thing is now ready to commence bust
ness again on as good a basis as bank
can have.
OF course the trustees expect that as
soon as the bank shall be opened there
will be quite withdrawal of deposits.
This will come as a matter of course, for
many people have been very impatient
to get hold of money to use in their bust
ness. All of the accounts have been tied
up for ten weeks and so all the requests
for money will come at once. On the
other hand, there are scores of peopl Q
who have money to deposit and who
have been waiting just as eagerly the
opening of the doors for they want TO be
drawing the interest on their cash. As
the people have been studying the re-
ports that have been issued they see for
themselves that they need not fear for
the future of the bank.

A Wise Critic.

The late Francisque Sarcey was for 40
years a figure Of great prominence in
French literary life. As a critic of the
drama he was looked upon as one hav-
ing authority. and praise from him meant
success to the struggling playwright.
His criticisms were honest, fearless and
independent, and It is remembered of
him that he refused the honor Of belong
ing to the French academy lest he should
come under obligation to favor the plays
written by other members.
Sarcey's good sense was often put to
the test One day friend came rushing
into his room. waving a paper.

YOU MUST NOT FORGET.
A Practical Man Says ForgetfuIness
In Mainly Due to Lnzlness.

A successful business man said that
there were two things which he learned
when he was IL and which were ever
afterward Of great use to him-namely.
never to lose anything and never to
forget anything. The story of this les
son is printed In The Country Gentle
man.
An old lawyer sent the young man
with an important paper, giving him
definite instructions what to do with it.
But" inquired the young man, sup
pose that | should lose 1t, what shall /
do thenr'
"You must not lose It," said the lawyer.
frowning.
II don't mean to-" said the young man.
but suppose should happen to-"
But 1 say you must not happen to.
shall make no provisions for such an
occurrence. You must not lose it."
This put n new strain Of thought into
the young mans mind. and he found that
IL he was determined to do n thing he
could do il. He made such provision
every contingency that he never lost any
thing.
He found this equally true about for
getting. II certain matter of impor-
lance was to be remembered. he pinned
u down on MS fninn, Iasteueu IL theTe
and made it stay. He used to declare:
when a man tells me that he forgot
to do something, tell him he might rs
well have said. I did not care enough
about your business to take the trouble
to think Of it again
II once had an intelligent young man
in my employ who deemed II sufficient
excuse for having neglected. an impor-
tant task to say, i forgot l told him
that would not answer. II Ire was suf-
ficiently interested. he would be careful
to remember. 1t was because he did not
care enough that he forgot. l drilled
him with this truth.
"He worked for me three years, apd
during the last year of the three he was
utterly changed in this respect. lie did
not forget thing. His forgetting, he
found, had been lazy and careless
habit of mind, and he cured it."
