NAMES THAT ARE POPULAR.
That of William Leads All Otherc in
the Favor of the Multitude.

Parents display some queer notions of
propriety in naming their children.
Those of religious turn of mind more
frequently in former times than now
search the scriptures before the bapds-
NAL ceremony. Parents in search of
fortune will label their luckless babes
with the surname of the expected tesla
tor. But, nevertheless, the list of COM
mon English Christian names is a very
small one. Out of every 100 fathers and
mothers of male children some eighty
four limit their choice to fifteen famil-
lar names.
The favorite name is undoubtedly
William. In all ranks of society-in
the peerage as in the workhouse-Will-
lam is the commonest of male Christian
names.
Stop the first 1 900 men you meet in
the street. No fewer than 10 are Will
, Jams. A long way behind come the
Johns, closely followed by the Georges.
OF every 1000 men ninety-four are call
ed John and ninety-two George.
The next commonest name is Thomas,
which has seventy-four owners, while
James claims seventy-two. Henry and
Harry between them are seventy in
number OF these about one in four
have received the name of Harry at
the baptismal font. Following them
come Frederick with fifty-seven.
Charles with forty-eight, Alfred with
forty-five and Albert some way behind
with thirty-one. The popularity of Al
bert has arisen entirely from the per-
sonal popularity of our late Queens
beloved consort. 1t was practically I'M
known in England before Queen Victo-
ria's marriage.
The good old Saxon appellation of Ed
ward is given to five and twenty out of
every LOCO citizens Arthur and Robert
having each twenty-three, while of the
remainder of these LOCO men you have
accosted in the street seventeen are
called Joseph and fifteen Herbert. So
we have accounted for no fewer than
500 out of every 1000 Englishmen, and
they divide between them only fifteen
out of the many hundreds, nay thou
sands, of names from which parents are
a liberty to choose.
OF the remaining IA of our repre-
sentative ] 600 a few. such as Richard
Percy, or Ernest. are claimed severally
by two or three men, but all the res
are the sole and exclusive property Of
lone in 1,O0O."-Chicago Chronicle.

though this did not bear the vigorous
stamp of his early work, it was by no
means weak.
NJ. Verne recently distinguished him
self by declining a seat in the French
Academy for the second time. He be-
gan his literary career as a dramatist
and for thirteen years labored success
fully in that field as a writer of come
dies. 1t was not until 1868 that he
published the first of the stories upon
which his fame was to rest. This was
give Weeks in a Balloon" Its imme-
diate and rebounding success induced
NJ. Verne to continue to exploit him
self in this direction and the result was
that widely read series of romance
which have delighted the world, young
and old. for thirty years or more. NJ.
Vernes chief amusement since his
youth has been yachting. He owns a
fine steam yacht and his happest days
have been those spent on its decks.
