!, why a Wife Changes Her Name.
| It is said that the practice OF the
wife assuming the husbands name at
marriage originated from Roman
custom and became the common Gus
tom a fter the Roman occupation. Thus
Julia and Octavia, married to Pompey
and Cicero, were called by the Romans
Julia of Pompey and Octavia of Cicero.
and in later times married women in
most European countries signed their
names in the same manner, but omitted
the '.of" Against this view may be
mentioned that during the sixteenth
and even the beginning OF the seven
teenth century the usage seems doubt
: full, since we find Catherine Parr so
! signing herself after she had been
twice married, and we always hear of
Lady Jane Grey mot Dudley and Ara.
bella Stuart mot Seymour). Some
persons think that the custom origin
ated from the scriptural teaching that
husband and wife are one 1t was de-
cided in the case of Bon VS.. Smith, in
the reign of Eliza beth, that woman
by marriage loses her former name and
legally receives the name Of her hus-
band.-Philadelph Times.
| Moderate Climate Conducive to Long Life.
Undoubtedly the climate most con-
ducive to longevity is a moderate one,
although cold climate. other things
being equal, has a decided advantage
over a hot one. For instance, the rate
of mortality in southern climes is much
greater than in that of such regions as
Scandinavia and Russia, while duration
of life is longer in Norway than in any
country, and of course Norway is de-
cidedly cold. That excessive cold is
prejudicia1 to long life is proved by the
low maximum age which is reached by
the inhabitants of such places as Ice
land and Siberia. The negro in the
hot, muggy land of his fathers on the
Senegal in Africa ages early and does
not live long. Transplanted to q com
paratively moderate climate in this
country, he lives a much longer life.

among one hundred and fifty thousand.
