THE FRENCH DE"
A Plebelan Sometimes Rcsorted to His
Mothers Name.

Mothers Name.
If the name began with ode" which
is the particle indicative of nobility, it
was an easy matter, the only thing nee
essary being the separation of the ini-
tial syllable from the rest Of the name,
says the Nineteenth Century. For in
stance, N. Delamare became M. de La
mare; NJ. Delestrade was transformed
into M. de Lestrade, and M. Dervilley
signed "D'Ervilley." But the opera
ton became little more troublesome
when the name was very common
place one, such as Durand, Regnault or
Dupont. In that case the name of a
town or a political division was added,
and the gentleman called himself Du-
mont de lEure or de Nemours; Reg
nault de Saint-Jean dAngeuly; Du-
rand de Romorantin, and so forth.
When no name of town or village was
available the would-be nobleman ap-
piled for permission to add his moth
er's maiden name to his own, especial
ly if it had an aristocratic sound. In
this way certain ambassador whose
family name was ridiculous one, but
whose mothers name, though plebeian,
was easy to disguise, dropped by de-
grees his own name and retained only
the maternal appellation, just prefixing
the particle "de" and the title Of baron
conferred on him under the empire. In
the elevated circle in which he moves,
thanks to his intelligence and superior
education, no one suspects that his real
name, if he went by it, would associate
him more intimately with kitchens
than with diplomatic salons.

wages and dividends absorb the entire

no increase of business capital, except
ny the admission of new members, and
as the shares are fixed at low valua-

men, the business becomes permanent
~ crippled by want of means. Seeing
Inc situation, Jones decides to quit; no
member Is allowed to hold more than
one share, and he can find no one out
side OF it who is acceptable to the as
ISOLATION. so he sells to the associa-
ZION itself, or, in other words, he draws
out OF the company the money he put
into 1t; others follow his example, and
1t soon becomes crippled and forced
to disband or sell the business to some
one who will conduct 1T as a private
enterprise.
In the first illustration the commu-
nifty held its own, but Smith was
worsted; in the second, Jones got what
was due him, but the way was opened
for the dissolution of the company.
The community has stability, but can
not grow rapidly because it does not
make equitable provision for the re-
turn of all deposits of value, and
hence does not attract members, while
the joint stock company may provide
for such a return, but does so at the
risk of losing its capital stock and be-
coming non-existent. The labor ex-
change recognizes both these points in
a way which will be shown in the next
illustration.
Brown, on becoming a member of
the labor exchange, puts into it some
property-not all that he has and not
necessarily an amount corresponding
to the deposits of other membership
all he can spare at the time, or all
that he feels disposed to contribute to
a cooperative experiment. For this
property he receives certificates of de.
post, which correspond to the share
held by Jones in the stock company,
with the difference that while Jones
must keep his share in order to remain
a member Of the company, Brown can
sell his certificate to whom he pleases
without losing his membership in the
branch and his voice in it's manage
ment. The purchaser of these certifi-
Gates does not secure an interest in
the organization; they simply entitle
him to such quantity Of the products
or consumable property produced by
the exchange as will correspond to
their face value at the market rates for
the articles. In this respect they per-
form the function of money, except
that they are redeemable only in prop
erty of such nature as the exchange
may have on hand. AS a worker Brown
receives certificates similar to those he
received when depositing property. He
may work Or not, as he chooses, but

Georgia Legislators Refuse to Reward
Their AdversarIes Of 1891.
ATLANTA, Ga, Dec 1.-The Georgia
legislature has just killed a bill by
Mr.. Calvin, of Richmond county,
which provided for granting free
license to federal veterans now living
in the state. Several men who op.
posed the bill said that they loved the
union and had no feeling of hostility
against the north or against the men
who fought against the south in the
days of the civil war, but they were
unalterably opposed to measure that
would reward the men who came to
Georgia in 1864 and burned the homes
of the people. A number of members
said that the national government
made ample provisions in the way Of
pensions for union veterans, and they
thought Georgia should confne her
aid to the men who died in her defense
during the war.
