TEN DAYS OF WOE
THAT AWFUL PERIOD WHEN 5A-
BY MUST BE NAMED.
Writer Pleads That at Least Year
Be Allowed Parents for That I'm
portant Proceeding-ReIa-
tives' Unkindness.

The Modes and Persians were an
dnyielding and an arbitrary people,
but IL Is not recorded that they had
such an inhuman law as this, regu-
lation requiring that the baby must be
named within ten days. The name
must be filed with the board of health
within that period. 1t cannot be
changed without proceedings so diff
cult and vexatious that most peoples
will prefer to leave the name as it
stands or will change it without lega.
sanction.
Surely no one should be obliged to.
name his baby in less than year. Not
only the board of health, but docto,
nurses. friends and relatives-especial-.
iy relatives-should be forbidden un-i
der pain Of temporary ostracism from
asking that embarrassing question:
Well, what are you going to name
the baby?" If you don't name him or
her as soon as it is born they are
scarcely able to disguise their pity for
you. The doctor, perhaps, is not to
be blamed as much as the others.
The law prods him on He has got
to get IL on the books within ten days.
If he doesn't he will not be thought a
punctilious inquisitor. The board Of
health will have it's eye on him. But
for the others there is no such excuse.
Their action is contra bonos mores,
and quite objectionable. Their inquir-
les are oppressive and unjust They
know not charity nor the rudiments
thereof They dc not have the first
conception of the torture which the
haggard parent has endured.
First of all, there's the dictionary
! It's long enough--the lord knows. But
no one realizes how few good names 1t
contains until he has attempted to get
one out of 1t. He thumbs it for weeks
or months together. Always with the
same result He flies to the family
genealOgy and the genealogies of all
the collateral branches Result no bet
ter! He calls In his friends, even
his enemies. But they cannot help
him. He becomes a subject of melan-
| choly and hopeless pessimist. But
this is not all. Possibly boy is ex-
PNS'ON anu oitOi SiSat 1'bNialiOh
boys name is selected-but the baby
turns out a girl. Or vice versa.
The process must begin all over
again, with the knowledge of what
was accomplished in months must
now be done in days-in ten days!
The parent may escape nervous pros
tration. but who will doubt that his
vital forces have been impaired? And
who should be surprised that names
selected under such duress and intim-
idation don't always stand? Yet folks
| are surprised when a change is made.
Clearly the law is villainous, and the
manners of our friends and relatives
are beyond description.-New York
| Globe.

MADE A MATTER OF RECORD.
English Firm Has Neat Scheme to
Prevent Disputes Over Amount
of Money rendered.

The lady behind the counter at one
of the winter drapery sales in Old
ham street wrote out the bill for my
purchases writes "B") on a little
manifolding book, which reproduced
her writing by means of a carbon pa
per on the page below. Then she
took the half-sovereign l rendered in
payment. and, placing it on the upper
page, pressed it hard down with her
thumb. l asked the reason. I'VE have
Instructions she explained, ito take
the impression of any coin received
by means of the carbon paper in the
book. See turning to the duplicate
of my bilD, there's the impression of
your half-sovereign. You couldn't very
well think you'd given me a sovereign
after seeing that, could you? You'd
be surprised" she said, how often
we have to show our books to people
to convince them we've not made a
mistake, Manchester Guardian.

In a Pearl Factory.

The pale, bent workmen were, most
of them, drilling costly pearls, but
here a man in kid gloves performed
the operation of skinning, the opera
ton of removing a pearls outer, dis
colored coat so as to give it again its
original luster, and by the window an
other man shook industriously three
pearls in bottle.
1T is a secret of the trade, of the
pearl driller's trade" he said, this
bottle-shaking. You see, in pearl drill
ing, drill point often breaks off in
pearl, and to get it out may take
whole days work-that is, if you don't
know the secret"
He looked closely at the bottom of
the glass bottle, and then, continuing
his shaking, he resumed:
But if you put your pearl in a bot
tie and shake it up, the drill point in
a few minutes will fall out of itself
Look! There's another out already.
The thirdll come soon now"

The Spiritual Line.

A good story is told of a very Sc
date doctor of divinity. When return
ing by train from a church congress,
a fellow passenger undertook to draw
him into conversation. and so far sue
ceeded that the reverend gentleman
asked him to what profession he hap
pened to b''ong
"Oh," said the layman, cheerfully,
I'm in the cotton line"
'Oh, indeed" replied the clergy
man, urbanely; there is a good deal
Of business going on in that branch
just now, I understand"
First class" said the layman, with
a cunning smile. And may I ask
Nnlt is your line?"
Il" said the clergyman. patronizing-
ly. with the nearest approach to a
joke he was ever known to perpe-
trate. I'm in the spiritual line "
"Blest if l didn't think so,' ex-
claimed his companion, knowingly;
and putting one hand on the doctor
knee. he leaned forward eagerly and
added. with an indescribie wink, but
| say, what price you have got gin
up to?"-Linion Tit-Bits.

ALARM CLOCK CAUSES HAVOC
Creates Much Amusement for Passen'
gers on Street Car by Sounding
at Wrong Time.

There was once a nice lady who
went down to the store and bought an
alarm clock so that she could wake up
early in the morning and her children
wouldn't always be late to school. The
man at the store was very polite, and
he wound it up for her and set it off,
and ii made a most terrific racket. The
lady said she'd never be able to sleep
through that, so she bought it, and the
man put 1t in box and wrapped 1t up
In paper.
The lady started for home and got
into a car. The lady opposite her had
a little fox errier on her lap with a
pink ribbon on his collar. He was sit
ting there just as quiet as a Teddy
bear. Next to her was a lady with a
little boy who was eating a little
round cake. The fox terrier was watch
ing his hand go up and down to his
mouth, hoping there would be some
left for him. That was why he was SO
good.
Suddenly the peace and quiet of the
car was broken by a sound-a loud,
insistent, penetrating sound 1t came
from the package the lady was hold
ing. 1t was the alarm clock, which
was going of as hard as it could.
Then the little dog jumped to his feet
ana barked furiously at the package.
and the little boy was so frightened
that he dropped his cake, which rolled
to the middle of the floor Then like a
fash the dog jumped from the lady's
zap and gobbled up that cake in about
thTee-quarters of a second, whereat
the little boy wept long and loud.
Meanwhile the clock kept on unweari-

round and stared, till the lady had to
unite the strings and unwrap tue par

peaceful again.

ORIGIN OF THE STORE SIGNS
Barber Pole and Three Golden Balls
Of the Pawnbroker Have Been
Used for Years.

Two of the most common signs to
be seen in our city streets are the
BARRIERS pole and the three golden
balls Of the pawnbroker. These have
been in use so many years that their
original meaning is, to many, quite
unknown. II is said that the red
stripe which winds around the barber
pole Is meant to represent bandage
bound about a human arm. For in
early days the barber acted as a sur
geon as well as cutter of hair He
was able to fill this 1ffce because at
that time 1t was tht common belief
that all Illness was used Dy having
too much blood In Il body. Conse-
quently, it was though the best thing
to do was to bleed the sick one. Il
barber was called, and he undertook
the task of puncturing blood vessel
in the arm; then, after he thought
sufficient blood had flowed, he would
bandage the wound.
The three golden balls were used
as commercial sign by early Ital-
ian merchants who lived in the days
when the powerful Medici family held
sway In Florence. The three golden
balls were part of the crest of arms
Of the Medici family. There were some
representatives Of this family among
the merchants. These used the sign
above the doors Of their shops,
and 1t became a well-known emblem
in the neighborhood of the city. FL
nally some of the Italian merchants
found their way to England, and there
opened the first moneylending estab-
lishments under the sign of the three
balls. Later the use of the emblem
became common to all money-lenders.
