The practice of the wife assuming the
husbands name at marriage, according
to DIR. Brewer, originated from a Roman
custom and became the common custom
after the Roman occupation. Thus
Julia and Octavia, married to Pompey
and Cicero, were called by the Romans
Julia of Pompey, Octavia of Cicero, and
in latter times married women in most
European countries signed their names
in the same manner, but omitted the
"of." Against this view may be men-
toned that during the Sixteenth and
even at the beginning of the Seven
teenth century the usage seems doubt
full, since we find Catharine Parr so
signing herself after she had been twice
married, and we always hear of Lady
Jane Gray (not Dudley, Arabella Stuart
mot SEYMOUR, etc.
Some persons think that the custom
originated from the Scriptural teaching
that husband and wife are one.
This was the rule of law so far back
as Bracton died 1868, and it was de-
cided in the case of Bon versus Smith,
in the reign of Elizabeth, that woman
by marriage loses her former name and
legally receives the name of her hus-
band. Altogether, the custom is in
volved in much obscurity. - Buffalo

WASHINGTON, Nov 21.-Dr, Harris,
the commissioner of education, has just
returned from an important educational
conference in New York, the results Of
which, it is hoped, will form a sound
basis for the future development of
educational methods in this country. As
an outcome of the meeting, which was
composed Of college presidents and pro,
fessors, a detailed Investigation of special
conditions has been set on foot which, it
is believed, will lead to results of inn
mense practical value. The merits and
advantages Of recognized study such
as Latin or chemistry, for instance, and
the prevailing methods Of teaching il
will be thoroughly siftcd.

A FEW days ago came the news that
a textile mandatory had raised the
wages OF It's 100 employees five per
cent. and the next day came the news
that two OF three mills in Rhode Island
had done the same thing. But the
rush to raise wages didn'tseem to keep
up. As these two or three mills
caught the inspiration OF great Dem
ocratlc victory and raised wages, the
natural inference would be that all
other manufactures would have
caught the same inspiration. But they
don't seem to Inspire. The Democra
tic contingent fund for raising wages
must have petared out.

all persons who will notify him and
take their application for Insurance.
Every person who owns horse that

mare was taken sick, and died few

At the late election n great many OF
oil classes became impressed with the
Idea that there ought to be a change
In the government any how, They had
NO good reason for a change. they
thought it could dono great harm ana
they thought they would try the eX'
pertinent OF change and they voted
that way. This was very stupid
thinglfog them to do, but people whom.
we call sensible, very often Just do.
such things.
"a large number OF farmers imagined
that they had not been doing as well
as they wanted and they thought a
change would bring them labor al
lower wages and raise the price of
farm products. This was very foolish
for the farmer to do,as ordinary SENSE
should have convinced him that, what
ever his evils may be-, they cannot be
alleviated by u Democratic National
policy tending to close Misunderstanding
establishments and to turn out Of EN-.
ployment multitudes who now hav0
good wages AMI make the markets for
the farmers. But they wanted Il
change and with their eyes open they
voted for one.
ard then again, there were the small
traders who were dissatisfied because
men OF large capital monopoliled the
business and made it difficult for men
of small means to get along. They
wanted TO see II the Democrats could
not put stop to this inequality, us
they had said 80 much against uggTo'
cations of capital. and tearfully ex.
pressed wonderful sympathy with the
small tradesman. Those tradesmen,
who have acted thus fouIi5hly and vo'
ted for policy that will force multi
-~tudes out of employment in this eoun

cheap from England or Germany. ma,
have reason to regret their action, a
by their votes they will have broker

depend for the sale OF their goods.
And the worklngmen thenselve
constituted another class who wer
not satisfied with wages received an
therefore voted the Democratic ticket
Whether their claims nre we'll OF /
founded they have REASON to kno
that wages of workIngnen have bee
advanced in this country under tn
policy which they voted to defea

time. 1t ought mol 20 have taken muc
sense TO discover that the wages

ments in which they arc earning
living and forcing them to seek

All these classes had imnginai
grievances and they thought the be
