WHY a WIFE CHANGES HER NAME.

1t is said that the practice OF the wlfe as
suming the husbands name at marriage
originated from a Roman custom, and be-
came the common custom 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. I"
Against this view may be mentioned that
during the sixteenth and even the beginning
doubtful since we find Catharine Parr so
signing herself after she had been twice
married, and we always hear of Lady Jane
Grey NEE Dudley and Arabella Stuart mot
Seymour). Some persons think that the Gus
tom originated 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 mar
riage loses her former name and legally ro-
ceives the name Of her husband. Home

BIG LUTHERAN MOVE.
Plan Formulated to Unite All in the
Northwest.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, April 26, 1894. Sixty
five prominent Lutheran pastors belonging
to the Missouri and Wisconsin synods have
evolved plan for uniting the Luther
ans of the Northwest into one grand
general synod embracing 1000 congre-
cations. The Missouri Synod has 100 con-
gregations In Michigan, $50 in Minnesota and
200 in Wisconsin. The general Wisconsin
Synod has 265 congregations in Wisconsin,
120 in Minnesota and IS in Michigan.
The plan which originated in Mil
waukee, is to unite all these parishes
in one Synod with common interests.
1t has just developed that the members OF
the last secret pastoral conference gave
the plan its hearty approval and re-
solved to lay the subject before
their respective congregations with the
request to petition their respective
synods for their appointment of committee
to joiutly consider it. If the consolidation
is effected, as seems probable, it will unite
the Lutheran forces in three States; facili-
tate the formation of English speaking con-
gregations and the education of English
speaking pastors.

NEW zEALAND's INTERFERENCE.

the subject of the proposed annexation of

ever to interfere in the administration of
Samoan affairs. If it shall become neces-
sary to modify or suspend the treaty regard
ing Samoa, the Governments at Berlin, Lon
petent to arrange the matter with due re-
gard to the interests of Samoa and without
the aid of New Zealand In any case New
Zealand must not be permitted to meddle
with the economic and commercial interests
of Samoa These interests are almost ex-
clusively in German hands and no amount of
systematic agitation on the part ofaEnglish
colonies can alter that fact.
