Naming the Baby.

At certain period in most girls
lives there is a sentimental liking for
romantic and uncommon names; and.
if the girl marries young, it frequently
extends to the birth of the first chill
dren.
AS consequence, men and women
Of middle age often resent the name
bestowed upon them by the young
mother, which is sometimes decidedly
inappropriate to their personal appear
ance and character.
Business women, who must sign
their full name many times, are rarely
pleased with fanciful one. A rising
physician recently said that one of the
greatest drawbacks to her success that
she must constantly encounter was her
Christian name Ninetta, the prefix of
DR.. before it made such an incongru-
Gus combination. "How often I have
wished it was Hannah or some other
homely, sensible name"
Mothers would do well to bear In
mind the fact that women are more
and more entering into business and
professional lives, and the present
generation of girl babies may some
day be grateful for the plain Mary
and Susan and Elizabeth, which, of
late years, have been looked upon with
diSfayor.

RAILWAY SAFETY.
Standards on Better American Roads
as High as in England.

Standards on Better American Roads
as High as in England.
American railways have recently
come in for considerable unfavorable
criticism on account Of the number OF
serious accidents in some of the less
thickly populated districts Of the Unit
ed States, while Mt the same time Eng
lish roads have been praised as having
attained a combination of speed aud
safety unknown in this country. As
matter Of fact, many American rail-
roads are gradually being brought to
standard of safety which is fully as
high as the English, while the comfort
of passengers is given far more atten-
ton here than on the other side Of the
water.
From the American standpoint safe
railroading is primarily dependent on
system Of signals which are prac-
tically infallible. This is attained by
a combination Of automatic machinery
and human intelligence, each of which
supplements the other and each of
which Is powerless to do anything
without the consent Of the other. In
the operation of such a system the
salient feature is the division Of the
road into short sections or "blocks" by
means Of signals worked primarily by
an electrical connection with the rails.
On the New Haven system, for in
stance, which has built up line of 233
miles from Boston to New York that
complies with all the requirements
found necessary in American expert
euce for safety, these blocks are from
half a mile to four miles in length.
A train cannot enter one of them un-
til the preceding train has left it, a
fact indicated by the rising of an au-
tomato semaphore ct its further end,
which protects the next block ahead.
The system is so arranged that the
normal position Of all semaphores is
at danger and were the towerman a
maniac he could do no harm beyond
neglecting to lower a signal at the
proper time to let approaching trains
through. He might tie up all traffic
on the road in this way, but he could
cause no accidents.
While signal systems, roadbeds and
bridges have been brought as cear per-
lection as ingenuity can bring them,
the safety Of others than their passen-
gers is not neglected by the well-man-
aged railroads. Between New York
and New Haven, for example. a dis
lance Of seventythree miles, there are
no grade crossings at all and between
New Haven and New London there
are only FIVE, none Of which is consid.
cred dangerous.

proyement So many stop cultivating
their minds and drop their accomplish

Thiubles.

The thimble was originally called a
thumb bell by the English, because
worn on the thumb, then a thumbler,
and finally its present name. 1t was
Dutch invention, and was first
brought to England in 1896. Thimbles
were formerly made only Of iron and
brass, but in comparatively late years
they have been made Of gold, silver
steel, horn, ivory and even glass and
pearl. In China beautiful carved pearl
thimbles are seen, bound with gold
and with the end of gold. The first
thimble introduced into Siam was q
bridal gift, from the king to the
queen; it is shaped like cactus bud
made of gold and thickly studded with
diamonds arranged to spell the queens
name.
