The Sin OF GluttOny,

Eminent physicians continue to send
out warnings against the sin of gluttony,
but with little effect Oh the community.
The growth of diseases directly attribut-
able to over-eating increases, and the
death rate gives solemn warnings that
seem to be UNDECIDED. The case is all
the worse because most men who are
heavy eaters take no exercise and thus
double the danger An eminent physician
has just given all argument against bust
ness men eating three hearty meals a
day without taking any exercise. He
says that a man who works in the open
air can eat as much as he feels like, but
partakes of meat three times a day is
simply laying up trouble for himself and
making it necessary for insurance COM
panies to change the rates.-Philadelphia

THE FEMINIST MOVEMENT.
Some French Women Want to Retain
Their Names After Marriaue.

Some French Women Want to Retain
Their Names After Marriage, 49,.
The champions of woman's rights have
IN recent years gained very apprecia BILE
advantages for their sex. Women not
only attend the lectures at the various
faculties at the university, but many of
them have taken the degree of doctor of
admitted to practice at the bar. They
also, in sufficiently large numbers, study
at the Academy of Fine Arts, and, as
was stated in the Standard of a few
days ago, the question is debated as to
whether they. should not be placed on an
equal footing with men in the competi-
ton, for the Prix de Rome. Though it
is quite possible to approve all these
measures, it is difficult not to pronounce
against the demand formulated the other
day III resolution adopted at one of the
sittings of the Women's Suffrage So
ciety, held at the town hall of the Elev-
enth district of Paris. 1t is to the effect
that it is prejudicial to woman's in
terest to lose her name by marriage and
to be obliged to adopt that of her hus-
band.
The moving spirit Of this society is
Nine. Hubertine Auclert. In converSa-
ton with i journalist, who did not quite
share her opinion on the subject, she de-
clared it was deeply humiliating for a
woman TO nave, on her wedding day, to
become so completely the property of
her husband as to forget ner own origin.
By the present order of things a wife
was constrained to forget her ancestors,
though to honor them was admittedly a
virtue and duty. Though the meeting
was nearly unanimous in favor of a mar
ried woman continuing to bear her own
family name after marriage, even the
supporters of this ''reform'' could not
agree as to the name to be borne by
the children. Some supported the idea
of giving the name of both the father
and mother to the offspring. That would
do for the first generation, but it might
be embarrassing later OIL, as at the sec
ond generation a person would have four
names, and at the fifth generation a child
would inherit no fewer than thirty-tw
surnames, not to speak of the Christian
names the parents might think fit to con-
fer upon it. That solution being regard
ed as too embarrassing, the choice seemed
to be limited to the name OF either the
father or mother. Without pronouncing
definitely Oh that matter, it is. perhaps,
only natural that the members of this
WOman's Suffrage society should have
shown marked preference for that of the
mother. They argued that it was impos-
sible to deny that child was more a
part of wife than of husband.-Lon-

Aguinaldo's Family Reunited.

. Aguinaldo is living in comfort on the
banks Of the Pasig river. in the suburb
Of Malacanan, and some Americans
have complained that he is, treated better
than he deserves. The house compares
favorably with that of Gov. William H.
Taft, which is about half a mile further
up the river. Besides guard of Ameri-
can soldiers to protect Aguina1do there
are several servants to- attend to the
wants of himself and family, for the
Filipino leader has with him his wife and
children and his mother-in-law. 1t is the
first time for nearly three years that they
have been together.

defects, ought to be gratifying even to
those who are inclined to feelings of
disgust that an absolutely new Ameri-

eleventh hour. Were the defect discov-
cred during an emergency ''outside," the
results might have been such as to cause
something more saddening than disgust.

Capt. Ingraham's Souvenir.

Capt. Otis Ingraham came into pos
session recently of letter which he
wrote nearly half a century ago, and
which awakened flood of interesting
recollections. The communication was
dated Feb. II, 1858, and directed to
Capt. Joseph Farwell, for whom the
steamer Daniel Webster had just been
built as reward for valued services.
Capt. Ingraham, who was then in COM
mand of the coasting schooner Asia,
heard through relative that Capt.
Farwell was in need of a wheelsman
and applied for and received the posi-
ton. Subsequently he became first Of
ficer of the craft and entered upon an
interesting career of steamboating.
Stamps were not in use at the time this
letter was written. but Capt. Ingraham
paid three cents postage, and the figure
''3'' inclosed in a circle was stamped
upon the envelope. While going through
Capt Farwell's papers the letter was
found by Nathan T. Farwell of Rock
land and returned to Capt Ingraham as
a souvenir.
