Why a Wife Changes Her Name.

1t is said that the practice of the
wife assuming the husbands name at
marriage originated from a Roman
custom and became the common Gus
tom after 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 Elizabeth, that woman
by marriage loses her former name and
legally receives the name of her hus-
band.-Philadelphi Times.

Moderate Climate Conducive to Long Life


Undoubtedly the climate most con-
ducive to longevity is a moderate one,
although a cold climate. other things
being equal, has 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
preiudicial 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 n COM
paratively moderate climate in this
country, he lives a much longer life,

Farm Notes.

Comfort is an important item in Sc
curing good gain.
Grow as far as possible all the
grain fed on the farm.
In breeding individuality is often
as marked as the breed itself.
Grow clover to build up your soils
run down by growing grain upon it.
There must be progress in stock
breeding and in making the farm
richer.
On we'll managed farm, the waste
ought not to exceed the value of the
taxes.
Good seed, good soil and good cul-
tivation are the essentials in growing
good crops.
Good seed in a well prepared
ground is the beginning of success
full harvest.
On the majority of farms one OF
more good colts should be ready to
market every year.
BY growing variety of products
and stock, something can be- kept
growing all the time.
The better the products the wider
and stronger the demand for them,
and the better the profits.
Horses reared on oats instead OF
corn will be more muscular and will
possess more endurance than if raised
on corn.
Quick growth and early maturity
can only be secured by having good
breeding stock as a foundation and
then giving good feed and care to
build upon.
No doubt a rotation of crops is the
best method for the common farmer.
but too much of one crop in proper
ton to another should always be
carefully considered.
Individual peculiarities of form
have much to do with the amount OF
waste in animals and the flavor of the
meat is greatly dependent upon what
the animal has been fed.
Thorough mastication is necessary
in order that the best results be OBJ
tanned in feeding and, in feeding
whole grain, this is not always OBJ
tanned. This is one of the advantages
in grinding feed.
