Certain parents contracted to allow a
friend to name their child. in consideration

particular forty acres of land. and there
after. by his declarations and otherwise,
showed that he intended to appropriate
such land to the fulfillment of the con-
tract. He died without having conyeyoed
the land to the child. and in an action
against his heirs at law TO acquire possess
ing a child is a valid and legal considera-
ton for a promise to convey land to the
child. [91 Northwestern Rep. Qowa, Judge
Deemer) 913.l
-Perjury-Plea of Defective Memory-No
A witness who swears falsely, willfully
and %corruptly to the effect that he does not
remember certain material facts involved in
competent proof-as. for instance. his testi-
mony given upon a former occasion-that
he did not remember them. is properly con-
victed OF perjury.
1t will be noted that this case is peculiar
and exceptional in this respect: That the
defendant was not charged with swearing
falsely with respect 10 any affirmative or
negative fact, but in swearing falsely that
he knew nothing about them one way or the
other. or. to use his own words. that he
did not remember" t172 n. Y. Rep. Judge

MARRIAGE NAMES FOR WOMEN
Why the Bride Drops Her Own Name
for That of Her Husband,

Why the Bride Drops Her Own Name
for That of Her Husband.
The question is often asked why do
women, upon their marriage, drop
their family names and adopt that of
the men they wed? The custom is one
of the oldest relics of the barbarous
epoch, when a woman was a mere ap-
pendage. She was an integral portion
of the gems or family. now of her
father. now of her brother. now of her
husband. She had no Independent en-
tity of her own. Hence she took over
the of her legal protector,
giving up that of her father.
Names were a label indicating own
ership and changed accordingly. This
is so true that wherever woman's
rights were Acknowledgements was the
case among many wild tribes-the
child received the mothers name, or
the appellation of her gems, not that
of the male parent, and, consequently.
in war time, when the two peoples
were laying waste each others terri
tory, fathers and son were generally
fighting In opposite camps. Thus the
head of the family has always be-
slowed his name on the members, and

the maintenance by young wives of
their maiden names. with or without
the patronymic of their husbands.
Why should it not be so e now
A wife is said to be her husbands
half, very often his better half. Is 1t
not meet that this relation should ap-
pear in the family name? There is
more in a name than is dreamed of
by the masses. In olden times 1t was
believed to be to a large extent identi-
cal with the personality of the bearer.
1t was not to be taken in vain.
To mention the name of L~ohengrin,
for example, was to deprive him of his
life among niortals. A force, a. virtue.
a spirit went out OF him, and he ceased
to be what ne had been. 1t is fair that
a girl should, on taking to herself a
husband, abandon the personality
which is embodied in the name for the
sake Of one who possibly would not
cut off his mustachios or give up mis-
smoking for her pleasure? Join
names as you join hands," says a So
ciety formed with this object in south

HISTORICAL "REMINISCENCES.
Hispano-Ameriacn War Could at One
Time Have Been Avoided.

The visit of w. J. Hilands of Chicago
to Mexico, recalls the oft repeated de
claration of those in a position to
know that but for the assassination
of Prime Minister CanOvas of Spain,
the United States would have
waged war with Spain on account of
Cuba.
In 1896 Mr.. Hiiands was sent by
the United States government on a
special diplomatic mission to Spain,
the purpose of which was TO enter
into negotiations for the purchase of
the island of Cuba. He finally gained
the promise of Canovas, which was at
that time as good as a royal decree,
