The question as to whether the nam ing1 o the baby belongs, as a matter of right, to the baby's father or to the baby's mother is raised in a queer lawsuit-originating' in EastkLU, in the heart of the Catskill mountains, re ports the Albany Law Journal. The plaintiff is Ole Halverson, a Swede, who cultivates a small farm on the moun . tain side. He has sued for damages Eev. J. G. Kemerton, a German Luth eran minister of the same place, and the pleadings set forth the following- state of facts: Mr. and Mrs. Halverson have a son of tender years. The former de sired that the boy should be called Os car, after the present monarch of Mr. Halverson's fatherland. Mrs. Halver son dislikes the -name Oscar and was determined that the baby should not be burdened therewith. Mr. and Mrs. Halverson took the baby to the clergy man to be christened. - Mr. Halverson requested the minister to name the child Oscar, but Mrs. Hal verson had already talked the reverend gentleman over, and to Mr. Halverson's surprise and indignation the boy was not christened Oscar, but something else, whereby Mr. Halverson suffered serious disappointment, loss of author ity in his household, laceration of feel ings, etc., for which he prays damages. The clergyman's defense is that he christened the child in accordance with the wishes of the mother, whose rights in the premises he considered para mount. The case brings up a novel question in jurisprudence, the decision of which will be regarded with interest in thousands of families -- throughout the land. ... ,v. IN LAMPPdST LETTER BOXES. Hot Many Th'tnaa of Value Found There Dead Mice Dropped In. "Ever find things in the boxes?" was asked of a post office collector who was taking the letters from a lamppost let ter box. "Some,but not such an everlasting-lot. either," was the reply, says the New York Sun. "A thief fleeing from his pursuers once dropped a watch in a lamppost letter box, so that it would not be found irpon his person nor .along the line of his flight; but watches are riot commonly found in lamppost letter boxes. ' "Once when I came up to a letter box I found standing by it a policeman and a woman. The policeman said that the woman had dropped a doliar bill into the box between some letters and she wanted to get it back. The rules of the post office require that anything that may be found in the boxes shall be turned in at the post office; the loser -must apply for it there. If I had found any money in this box I should have been compelled to turn it in. But there wasn't any money there; the lady must Tiave lost it or have left it somewhere else. "As a matter of fact not many things of value are dropped into lamppost let ter boxes. Uptown you find a dead mouse in a box occasioallj', but that's about all. Children put the mice in tlie box they And a dead mouse in the street and think it's funny to put it in a lamppost letter box." CAN SEW UP HEART WOUNDS. They Are Not the Ivind Made ly a Maiden's Glcncco, Cither. Can prompt surgical aid pave the life of a man stabbed through the heart? It has always been held that any at tempt to operate directly upon the heart was worse than foolish, and that to sew up a lesion in the heart prop er without killing the patient would be an absolute impossibility, says an ex change. Yet Dr. Rene, of Frankfort, Germany, at a meeting- of the surgical congress in Berlin recently, reported a success ful operation of the kind the first in the history of surgery and produced his patient living and well before the assembled scientists to attest its truth. Describing the case, Dr. Itehe said the man had been stabbed in the right side of the heart. He was conveyed with great haste to a hospital and taken di rectly to the operating room. The sur geon laid bare the heart in a few 6ee onds and found a wound in the right side of the organ. He sewed up the or ifice and applied general treatment for arrestinpr hemorrhage. The heart worked violently during the operation, but the commotion of the organ grad ually subsided, and in due time the wound healed and the patieat re covered.

Glrls Who Give Gold Model of Their l.tttle Fingrera to Their Betrothed. "Do girls here give gold models of their little fingers to their fiances?" asked the western girl of the Gotham- lte, reports the New "iork Sun. "Heavens, no!" answered the Goth- amite.' "It seems to me that that is rather a grewsome souvenir." "Not at all." . answered the western girl; "it is decidedly dainty, and I'm a little surprised that New York is so far behind the times. The fad started in this way. When the daughter of one of our big western politicians was 6ix. months old he had a model of her little finger cast in gold. Around the little dimpled digit is a ring of turquoise, which is her birth stone, and it makes alovelycharmforher betrothed's watch chain. He valued it so much that it set other men to thinking, and the re sult is that as soon as a girl wraps' one of these chaps around her own little finger sufheiently for a proposal to fol low he immediately insists upon a gold facsimile of the flesh and blood orig inal. It is a pretty conceit, and is be ing followed by every westerner who is in subjection to somebody 2ttle finger." ! National Revenue.
