NAMING A JAPANESE. BABY.
Sometimes 1t Is a Rite as Solemn as
 Bishops Election.

Sometimes 1t Is a Rite as Solemn as
 Bishop's Election.
 Often the naming of Japanese baby is simple matter. for the father or grandfather speaking before the company the name of some famous man. if the child is boy, or of some favorite flower. if it is girl. For girls. Hana. flower: Yuki. snow; Ali. love. are the favorites of parents with a poetical strain.
 The sterner country folk choose for their daughters Matsu. pine; Take. bamboo Qf the bamboo joints are ex- act, hence the eXactness of virtue): Ume. plum. since the plum bears both cold and snow bravely. For boys. Ichiro. first boy: Toshio. smart: Iwao. strong, and Isamu. brave. are very popular.
 Where belief is strong in the power of name the family in holiday dress often assemblies in large room. Each writes name upon q slip of paper and lays 1t reverently before the house shrine From the group very young child is chosen and led before this shrine, and the fate of the name is de cided by the small hand which reach es out for slip. Though 1t is fes- tive occasion. the selection of a name is made with a seriousness worthy of the election of bishop. Many be- lieve devoutly that this rite influences the baby's entire future. and therefore the one whose slip is chosen incurs from the moment of choice great re- sponsibility for the child's welfare Frances Little in Century Magazine.

The Name Saratooa.

The original name of Saratoga was "Serachtague." About the middle of the eighteenth century it was ''Saragh toge." During the administration of Governor Leisler it was "Sarachtoge." Isn't this quaint-from 1889:
 Upon ye news vt three People should be kild at Bartel Vromans at Sarachtoge by ye Indians,-
 Resolved by ye Convention vt Lief Jochim Staets forwith zoe with ten men to Sarachtoge to see how ye matter Is. & bring us an accompt with ye first. & vt he Cito send Post hither with ye tide ings.
 Spelling reformers would be delight ed with ''kild." And 'ye' is shorter than "the." and ''yt" is shorter than that "Goe" is expansive, but flor with for forthwith is contraction. Schoolcraft thinks that Saratoga is de- rived from the Indian words "assarat," sparkling. and "oga." place.-New York Press.

The City,

Cities are made, not born. No two cities are alike The sum of one city is never equal to all the parts of another. Once city. not always city; some times only dust heap. A city is made up of part of the country filled with inhabitants. It consists of houses. streets and debts. No city is complete without a hospital and franchise plant The hospital is used to shelter Its victims and to provide it's surgeons with plenty of working material. The franchise plant enables it to support politicians. A city without politicians would be like steam laundry without any steam.
 Cities are an antidote for farms. Up to date, however. no cure has been found for the antidote.-Life.

Perhaps the most peculiar will ever written was probated in England at Doctors Commons July IT. 17S9. It ran as follows:

 When 1 am laid underneath, To my two loving sisters, most dear,

 Were it twice as much more. Which Gods goodness has granted me here.
 And, that none may prevent
 This my will and intent Or occasion the least of law racket,

IMITATION DIAMONDS.
They Lose Their Sparkle Whom They
 Lose Their Sharp Edges.

Lose Their Sharp Edges.
 Only the expert can tell an imitation diamond from a real stone when the imitation is new. but after the fake stone has been worn for a little time 1t soon loses it's lustre. It is this which makes a real diamond valuable. No matter how long it is worn 1t will keep It's sparkle almost as we'll as ever.
 The real reason for this is the hard ness of the diamond. It is not due to any special quality in the stone itself, except its transparency and its hard ness.
 The sparkle of a diamond depends on the sharpness of the edges and the points of its facets. When the light falls on one of these it is reflected to another facet, lying at a different angie and Is refracted again. and 90 on. many times. Each time the light Is reflected 1t gives a point of brilliance. and, in most instances, splits up the light % that the red and blue rays are seen.
 The imitation stone. to begin with, seldom has as many facets as dia- mond. But, even if it had. the sharp ness of these edges would wear of. Even exposure to the air will wear away any substance that is not ex- tremely hard. And just as soon as there is any dulling of the edges of 8 facet. so soon there is dimming of the brilliance of the stone.-New York American.

The Republican press of the
country has repeatedly exposed
the false claim of the Democrats
that it was the war that cut off
revenue. Statistics gathered
from the reports of this adminis-
tration show that even before
the war the Democratic tariff law
was not an adequate revenue pro-
ducer. The falling off in imports
since the war began was so slight
that it cannot possibly account
for the shortage in revenue. The
fact is that the Democrats cut
the tariff rates to such an extent
that adequate revenue was i'm
possible. Such is the necessary
result of Democratic tariff poll
cies.

Inc question OF revenues Is
he most difficult problem the
Democratic party must face when
meets" said Mr.. Gil
lett. Republicans have always
claimed that lack of business eff
cheney was an inherent and inev-
liable defect in every Democratic
administration. That theory has
been a5undantly illustrated since
March 4, 1913.
"Dilatoriness, vacillation, de-
fcits and change of plans have
marked the Democratic fiscal pol
icy. A constant excess of eX-
penditures over receipts has been
shown by treasury statements.
Furthermore, the sudden change
in the form of statements adopt
ed Oil the first of October, whe-
ther made for that purpose or
not, had the effect of preventing
easy comparisons and unfairly
swelling the apparent treasury
balance.
Now the President is going
to recommend enormous apprO-
priations for the army and navy.
The serious problem will be how
to pay them. In the past Re-
publicans have been allowed no
voice in these matters. Plans
have been formulated by a Dem
ocratic subcommittee, endorsed
by a Democratic caucus, and
passed by a Democratic majority
kept solid by the pressure of par
ty tyranny and administration
patronage.
"Whether the same system will
prevail in the coming session will
depend, | suppose, upon the har-
mony in the Democratic ranks
and the necessities Of the admin
istration. At all events, l think
the funds necessary for the pro
gram should be raised by taxa
ton and not by the sale of bonds.
The proposed expenditures fer
national defense should not be
shifted onto our successors, but
should be paid from current rev.
enues.
"This involves cutting off our
luxuries and pruning down our
necessities on the one hand, and
increasing our income on the
other.
1T INVOLVES surveying the field
fro4n a business and not from a
political or sectional viewpoint
and that is where l fear Demo-
cratic failure. Unless the party
can meet the situation with bet
ter business foresight and eff
cheney than it has SO far display,
ed, the current drift toward the
Republican party will become
landslide. "
