 NAMING THE CHILDREN.
Curious Customs in America as Well
 as in Foreign Lands.

New HOrk Sun
 A Hindoo child is named when l2 days old, the name being generally determin- ed upon by the mother according to the ancient custom. If the father has d strong predilection for another name a mystic test is resorted to. Two lamps are placed over the written names in de- bate, and that name over which theNamp burns the brighter is the one bestowed.
 The babes of a certain province of Northern Japan are not named until they are years old. Then the father Destows name of his own preference.
 In other Japanese provinces a childs name has to be changed four times in the various stages of his growth. The fourth name is the one he goes by through life.
 The Egyptians name baby whose birth Is of importance by lighting three candles. Each candle stands for a given name, one of the three invariably repre- senting the name of some high person. age. The particular candle that outlasts its rival indicates the name destined for the newborn son or daughter.
 A Chinese child has name given to him in infancy by which he will be known until 20 years At that age new name Is bestowed by the father. No Chinese girl baby is ever favored with name in juvenile years
 A girl child is merely designated as number one, number two, number three according to the number of girls there are in the family.
 The Mohammedans, in naming their infants leave the matter to chance. Put ting several slips of paper containing names within the pages of the Koran and bestowing the name first drawn, is popular custom. The parents believe it better for a child to be named by blind fate than through their direct ministra- ton.
 'Ine Germans, especially the middle classes, ott-times change the name of a child if he Is sickly or if .he does not seem to thrive And this recalls an an- cient American custom regarding a child naming. In the large families of the past 1t was quite customary when a young child died to name the next born child after him. This custom was general even three generations ago. And it has been the cause of considerable bother to pro- fessional genealOgists when tracing fam fly lines.
 A good many Americans are indiffer- ent and slow going in the naming of in- fants. The youngest of seven children in certain family has only just received a name. and this because he is D years old and attending a Kindergarten. making it necessary to have some other designa- ton than the nursery diminutive that has clung to him since boyhood. The parents were unable to agree upon a name and put the matter off until the child should be big enough to select one fot himself. which he did by choosing the given name of the playmate whom he | liked best.

POEMS WORTH KNOWING.
 The Heritape.
flames Russell Lowell

(James Russell Lowell.) The rich mans son inherits lands,
 And piles of brick and stone. and gold. And he inherlts soft white hands.
 And tender flesh that fears the cold,
 Nor dares to wear a garment old: A heritage, it seems to me. One scarce would wish to hold in fee. The rich mans son inherits cares;
 The bank may break. the factory burn. A breath may burst his bubble shares,
 And soft white hands could hardly earn
 A living that would serve his turn. heritage it seems to me, One scarce would wish to hold In fee. The rich mans son inherits wants,
 His stomach craves for dainty fare: With sated heart. he hears the pants
 Of toiling hands with brown arms bare,
 And wearies in his easy-chair; A heritage, 1t seems to me, One scarce would wish to hold In fee. What doth the poor mans son inherit?
 Stout muscles and slnewy heart. hardy frame. a harder spirit;
 King of two hands. he does his part
 In every useful toll and art; A heritage, 1t seems to me, King might wish to hold in fec. What doth the poor mans son inherit?
 Wishes o'erjoyed with humble things, A rank adjudged by toil-won merit
 Content that from employment springs
 A heart that in his labor sings; A heritage, it seems to me, A King might wish to hold in fec. What doth the poor mans son inherit?
 A patience learned of being poor. Courage, if sorrow come, to bear 1t, A fellow feeling that is sure To make the outcast bless his door; A heritage, 1t seems to me,
 A King might wish to hold in fee. O rich mans son, there is a toll That with all others level stands; Large charity doth never soil, But only whitens soft white hands; This is the best crop from thy lands; A heritage, it seems to me. Worth being rich to hold in fee. O poor mans son! scorn not thy state There Is worse weariaess than thine In merely being rich and great;
 Foil only gives the soul to shine.
 And makes rest fragrant and benign; A heritage. 1t seems to mo. Worth being poor to hold in fee. Both, heirs to some six feet of sod, Are equal in the earth at last; Both. children of the same dear God, Prove title to your heirship vast By record of a well-fled past; A heritage. 1t seems to me, | Well worth a life to Eold iu fee.

Winter Whiskers.

Up un- tl i've or six years ago it used to be the thing for fashionable young men to wear Van Dyke boards during the win ter months and with the first approach ot spring they would hasten to have them taken off But the fashion in men faces change just as do fashions in women s hats, and it is no longer considered good form tn wear boards. even in cold wealth CT A closely cropped mustache Is per- missible, if a man has always worn one. but the proper carAr Is to have a perfect ly smooth face.

Imitation and Water Must Yield tc
 a Squeeze.


 Tt is this sentiment that overhangs the money markets at present like a dark cloud. Its meaning should not be nisun- derstood. The people will no longer bllx Industrial stocks at Wall Street prices The West will no longer lend it's money to keep up inflated values Thousands of millions of securities carried by Eastern banks and trust companies wifi have tn be nursed at home This means caiI money at high rates, small squeezes at any time, continual dullness til n IarSe share of the poison of fictitious valuation Is s%eated out of the commercial sys- tenn.
 That this must be done is inevitable It Is only a question of how and when and accompanied by how much tribula- tlon. The heyday of prosperity has pass- ed, even in the West Neither railroad nor industrial securities will rule as high as hitherto. The industrials must slowly decline until they reach the point where they will pay a fair dividend in average times. This means the absolute obliter- alton of some stocks and heavy losses in others. Bad crops next fCh would surely bring harder times An attack up- sion of Congress would shake to their foundations such of the Trusts as de- pend upon exOrbitant profits 10 pay inter est or watered stpCke. Altogether, We can hardly escape commercial depression within the next few years.

Altnougn reclproclty mas been promised to the Mississippi Valley in every party platform for ten years. l am informed by well known and very practical poli- tician in Washington that the protective element of the party has not the remotest intention of passing any reciprocity treaty whatever, or taking any step towards the reduction of present duties Our flour and corn, hogs and bacon, may be gradually excluded from European markets, but nothing Is to be done towards reducing the tariff which leads to these restric. tions.
 Tn a nutshell, the Mississippi Valley gives everything and gets nothing under the existing system. It sells cheap and buys high. It produces the wealth with out which the East could not sustain itself for one day. But for its colossal railroad earnings and it's increasing de- velopment of natural wealth, the Wall Street operators would have to put up their shutters. The Mississippi Valley will not submit indefinitely to the yoke under which, by the aid of the present high protective tariff its riches are pour ed into the coffers of Eastern specula- tors
