You j h ht as well sit while 1 toll you about it." Mr, Johnson sat down with. an air of protest, but tsith great alacrity, "Ella writes that she had some thoughts of calling the baby Laura, after )pother," said Mt•. Jolurson, with his fin- ger at the first sentence of the letter, "but before she had a chance to mention it, .Frank said he wanted the baby named for her. Then—well, I might as well read it out to you. Here's what she says: "'Of course I was pleased to have Frank want iter named for me, but right away we began to have letters from the relatives. Aunt Myra said if the baby had her name, she should have all the family, silver and something in the bank for a nest -egg. Frank's mother wrote that if we felt like naming the baby for Frank's grandmother, Hannah, she should be real gratified, and there was a set of pearls and a gold hecklace that Would fall to our baby.: • "`While we were debating the natter, each of Frank's three sisters wrote me, proposing a fancy name—Beatrice and Leonora and Francesca. We said them all over with Bennett -'and couldn't tell which sounded best. "'Then came a letter from Cousin Mary saying that she'd. been looking up things in the genealogical rooms and here was our chance to do 'honor to our only distinguished ancestress Betsey and she "trusted we would see the propriety of giving baby that revered name." "'And yesterday I heard from Mattie Ianowles and she said of course there would be no hesitation in ,my mind about a name. As soon- as she heard pf the dear baby she said to herself "Now Ella can pay her loving, tribute to the metn- ory of her girlhood's friend and compan- ion, sweet little Julia Anne" "'So you can imagine, father, how much discussion has come from all these letters, and how thankful I was when at last the matter was settled.' "Well, how was it settled, l'd like to know?" demanded 1\Liss Johnson, helm- tiently; but her brother shook his bead. "She doesn't say," lie replied, at which Miss Johnson reached out her hand. "Give me that letter!" she cried, bu! her brother stayed her grasping fingers. "hold on!" he said. "Ilere's a criss- cross ou the first page that I'd over- looked." Once more he adjusted his spectacles, and read the last words: it "`Frank says perhaps you wouldn't understand; but I said you would, that of course we've named the baby Laura, t just as 1'd always intei;ded.'" t iVi[arie Corelli on English S' ociety. Marie Corelli paintspa sombre picture of modern London society in a recent ar- ticle in the "Lady's Realm," on the "De- cay of Home Life in England." She de, Glares that the love of home — the desire to melee a home—is far stronger in the poorer classes nowadays than in the wealthy or even the moderately rich of the general community, and adds: "Women of the 'upper ten' are no longer pie -eminent as rulers of the home, but are to be seen daily and nightly as noisy and pushing frequenters of public res- taurants. The great lady is seldom or never to be found `at home' on her own domain, but site may be easily met at the Carlton, Prince's or the Berkeley (on Sundays). The Old SVor1d chatelaine of a king afterat the comforro t of alk l her ride lretainers, who displayed an active interest in ev- ery chetail of management, surrounding herself with choice furniture, fine pic- tures, sweet linen, beautiful flowers, and home delicates of 'her own personal make or supervision, is becoming well- nigh obsolete. 'It is such a bore being at home!' is quite an ordinary phrase with the gawk -girl of the .present day,, who has no idea of the value of rest as an aid to beauty, or of the'healthfuland strengthening influences of a quiet and well -cultivated mind, and who has made herself what is sometimes casually termed a 'sight' by her skill at •hockey, her speed in cycling, and her general `rushing about,' in order to get any- where away from the detested 'home.' The mother of a ,family now aspires to seem as young as her daughters, and among the vanishing graces of soeiety Wray be noted the grace of old age. No- body is did nowadays. Men. of sixty wed girls of sixteen—women of fifty lead boys of twenty to the sacrificial altar.. The real `old' lady, the real. `old' gentleman will soon be counted among the 'rare and curious' specimens of the race. The mother who was not `married at sixteen' will ere long be a remarkable prodigy, and the paterfamilias who neves' explains that he 'grade an unfortunate marriage when quite a boy' will rank be- side iter as a companion phenomenon. We have only to scan the pages of those periodicals which eater speeially for fash- ionable folk, to see what a frantic dread of age pervades all classes of pleasure - loving society. The innumerable nos - trams for removing wrinkles, massaging or 'steaming' the complexion, the 'cover- ngs'- for bald heads, the 'transformations' for thin hair, the 'rays' of gold or copper of auburn, which are cunningly coirtrived for gray or, to use the more polite word, 'faded' tresses; the great army of mani- curists, masseurs and 'beauty specialists' who, in the most 'clever way, manage to rake comfortable incomes out of the general panic which apparently prevails among their patrons at the inflexible, tnstoppable march of Time—all these hings are striking proofs of the 'con- stant, desperate fight kept up by a large and foolish majority against the laws of God and Nature." Here is Miss Corelli's picture of the daily life of the average "wife" who be- longs to the smart set: "She rises lan- guidly from her bed at eleven, and occu- pies all her time till two o'clock in dress- ing, manucuring, `transforming' and'mas- saging.' She also receives and sends a few telegrams. At two o'clock she goes out in her carriage and lunches with some chosen intimates at one or other of the fashionable restaurants. Lunch over, she returns home and lies down for an hour. Then she arrays herself in an elaborate tea -gown and receives a favored few in her boudoir, where, over a cup of tea, she assists to tear into piecemeal portions the characters of her dearest friends. Another 'rest,' and again the business of toilet is resumed. When en grande tenue she either goes out to dinner or entertains a large party of guests ather own table. A tete-a-tete meal with her husband would appear to her in the light of a positive calamity. She stays up playing 'bridge' till two or three o'clock in the morning and retires to bed more or less exhausted, and can only sleep with the aid of narcotics. She resumes the same useless existence and perpetrates the same wicked waste of time again the next day, and every day. Her children she scarcely sees, and the management of her 'house is entirely re- eved from her hands. The housekeep- r takes all the accounts to her husband, lro mee!dy pays the same and lives A Fortune -Teller's Cti nts, fortune-teller who has just retired r business says that the majority of clients were married women from y -five to fifty years of age.

'hough born two months after the d of 1809, the Pope may fairly be in - Med among the big babies who made at year the riches in births of the eteentlt eentury. During the twelve 'uths from January 1 to December 31, 9, Gladstone, Bism:'lrek, Abraham Lin - r, Tennyson, Elizabeth Barrett Brown- , Darwin and .Oli-er Wendell Holmes first saw the light. Such a coinci- nee in appearance surely bespeaks the esence of genius in the -atmosphere. in e eighteenth century 17611 was similar - 'memorable for the birth of Napoleon, ellington, Nay, Soult, Bourienne, Cha- aubriand, Mehemet AB, Cuiver, Hum- ldt and Castlereagh.

The fearful instruments of destrue- tton which modern warfare has de- veloped have not always been the inventions of profet. ioual soldiers, but in some eases have been de- vised by t'ivilians wieh a purely philan- thropic intent. Take the g.ttling gun for example, the inventor of .which, Dr. Rich- ard J. Gatling, died in New Yule the oth er day, aged eighty-five. The idea of his destructive gun was suggested to hint early in the Civil War by the spectacle of the great number of soldiers sent home for burial, who had died, not from bullets, but from disease in the hospitals. It occurred to hint that there were too many nen. in the service. He thought if something could be invented whereby one soldier could do the tvork of a hun- dred, the other ninety-nine could stay at home, and there would be fewer wid- ows and orphans in consequence. So he invented a gun which would throw hun- dreds of bullets by merely turning a crank. But though this gun made war more destructive, it did not reduce the number of soldiers as he had anticipat- ed. Dr. Gatling, there is reason to be- lieve, sought to mitigate the evil he had unintentionally wrought by turning his inventive genius to the arts of peace, and Itis last years were spent in .perfecting a new plow he had invented,. which, it is m expected, will revolutionize agriculture e on the great farms of the. West. The tt. plow runs by gasolene motor of sufficient power to propel the I;iachine with the shares at any depth up to twelve inches. The plow not only plows, but harrows, rolls .and seeds the ground at the same time, thus saving one-fourth the cost of planting. Flattery. "I find that flattery goes a great way with people," remarked a popular we man, "and it is astonishing how thickly you can spread it on. I used to think that flattery should be veiled; that your admiration should be insinuated rather than openly expressed; but, bless me, that is delicacy thrown away! I find that there is not one person in a hundred who will not swallow complacently the most extravagant compliments, and take all that you say,iu perfect good faith. Of course, tact 'must be employed. There IS an obviously fulsome flattery that only annoys—the fawning,sweety-sweety people who have the sante sugared phrases for everyone are bores—but in e quiet, sensible Way, to deliver a com- pliment as if it were an indisputable fact, always tells, and, as I say, one need never be afraid of ilmakingg it to strong!"

A Scotch Temperance Sermon. The new English ,esti-teetotal society for abolishing drinking between meats does not embody any new idea. It was strongly arged upon his congregation by a well-known Highland minister whose parishioners were too speedy with their drinks.

A perfect head, viewed from the side, fells within a perfect square, averag- ing -nine inches for a man and Sl/, Inches for ~woman. The width of the face is equal to five eyes. The distance between the eyes is equal to one eye. The size of the eye is two-thirds that of the mouth: The length of the nose is one-third the length of the Nee. The *ear Is, at m11 ages, as long its two eyes. Although these are the ideal measure- ments and are approximately adhered to, so fond of irregularity is nature that rarely any face corresponds to them. The two s:,les of any fact' are never exactly alike. Strictly speaking, the face, extends oilly from the chin to the root of the nose. Above that point Is the brain case. Por a well developed brain the width of the head just above the ears, measured with callipers, should be from 5;/, to filk inches. and the height from the opening of the ear to the top of the crown should bt' ex- actly the same.
