Assuming the Husbands Name.

The practice of the wife assuming
the husbands name at marriage origi-
mated from a Roman custom and be-
came the common custom after the Ro-
man occupation. Thus, Julia and &C
tavia, 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 it may be mention
ed that during the sixteenth and even
at the beginning of the seventeenth
century the usage seems doubtful,
since we find Catherine Parr so sign
ing herself after she had been twice
married, and we always hear of Lady
Jane Grey mot Dudley, Arabella
Stuart mot SEYMOUR, etc. Some per-
sons think that the custom originated
from the Scriptural teaching that hus-
band and wife are one. This was the
rule of law so far back as Braeton
died 1868, and it was decided in the
case of Bon versus Smith, in the reign
of Elizabeth, that woman by mar
riage loses her former name and legal
ly receives the name of her husband
Altogether the custom is involved in
much obscurity.

The EASY Pill,

DeWitt's Little Early Risers do
not grippe nor weaken the system.
They cure biliousness, jaundice,
constipation and inactive livers, by
arousing the secretions, moving
the bowels gently, yet efectually,
and giving such tone and strength
to the glands of the stomach, liver
and bowels that the cause of the
trouble is removed entirely. These
famous little pills exert a decided
tonic effect upon the organs in
volved, and if their use is contin-
ued for few days there will be no
return of the trouble. r. S. Free

ounint Court Records.

Among the treasures Of the Philadel-
phia Historical society is the complete
record of the Court Held at UPLAND
in Delowar River From 1876 to 1851"
This was the court conducted by the
Swedes, Dutch and English previous to
the granting of the state to Penn and
previous to it's being named Pennsylva-
mia. The record is quaint. One entry is
of "Jan Cornellisen of Amesland, COM
playning to We court that his son Erik
is bereft of his natural sences and is
turned quyt madd;" whereupon it was
ordered that ''three or 4 persons bee
hired to build little Blockhouse at
Amesland for to put in the sd. mad
man." In the suit Of Andres Inckhoor-
en- against Constable Andres Homman
it appears from the record that:
'"The Pit. complains that this Deft.
hath pulled him by the Beard and
twisted his neck, and desires to know
We reason"
On Oct. 16, 1850, Claes Clam winning
an action for SANDER against Hans Pc
terss, the punishment meted out to Pc
terss was that:
'"The Deft. not being able to prove
what he hath said or any part thereof
the Court ordered that We Deft. openly
shall declare himself q Lyar."

The Periods of Growth.

Children born between September
and February are, some authorities
state, not as tall as those born in sum-
mer and spring months, and the growth
Of children is much more rapid from
March till August. The eXtremities
grow rapidly up to the sixteenth year;
then there is q slow growth until the
thirtieth year. The legs chiefly grow
between the tenth and seventeenth
years. Comparing the general results,
it appears that there are six periods of
growth. The first extends up to the
sixth or eighth year and is one of very
rapid growth; the second period, from
eleven to fourteen years, growth is
slow; the third period, from sixteen to
seventeen; the fourth period shows a
slow growth up to the age Of thirty for
height up to fifty for chest girth; the
fifth period is one of rest, the sixth a
decrease in the body.

CELSIUS was a Roman physician who
fiourished in the third century. He
was a follower Of Hippocrates and
wrote various books on medicine. One
of his prescriptions is for consumption
and, strange enough, it is quite in ac-
cord with modern methods in some re-
spects. He says: GAS soon as a man
finds himself splitting and hacking on
rising in the morning he should imme-
diately take possession of a cow and
go high up into the mountains and live
on the fruit of that cow" Although
he knew nothing Of the cause Of phthi-
sis, he had observed that good living,
out of door life, lots of sunshine and an
abundance of milk and cream were alb
solutely essential as prerequisites for
treatment-Journal of Hygiene.

An important fact has lately been
discovered, or rather demonstrated,
and that is women can detect
sounds in the higher register that
men cannot hear. Men can hear
lower sounds than women. This
would naturally, or logically, follow
from the fact that the voices of the
sexes have a different pitch-the
women's the higher, and the men S
the lower.

Ruin Wrought By Rum.


SO feel what have felt
Go bear what I have borne;
Sink meath blow, father dealt.
AND the cold, proud worlds Scorn,
Thus struggle on from year to year,
Thy sole relief, the scalding tear
Go, weep as have wept
Ger loved fathers fall;
See every cherished promise swept,
Youths sweetness turned to gall,
Hopes faded flowers strewn all the way
That led me up to woman's day.
Go kneel as have knelt
Implore, beseech and pray,
Strive the besotted soul to melt,
The downward course to stay;
Be cast with bitter curse aside.
my prayers burlesqued, thy tears defed.
Go stand were have stood,
And see the strong man bow.
With gnashing teeth lips bathed in blood
And cold and livid brow,
60 catch his wandering glance and see
There mirrored his souls mystery.
Go hear what have heard
The sobS of sad diSpair,
AS memory's feeling fount hath stirred
And its revealings there
Have told what he might have been
Had he the drunkards fate forseen.
| Go to my mothers side
| And her crushed spirit cheer;
Thine own deep anguish hide
Wipe from her cheek the tear;
Mark her dim eye, the furrowed brow,
The gray that streaks her dark hair now.
The tol-worn frame, the trembling limb
| And trace the ruin back to him
Whose pighted faith in early youth
Promised eternal love and truth.
But who foresworn has yielded up
This promise to the deadly cup
And let her down from love and light,
From all that made her pathway bright
And chained her there mid want and strife
That lowly thing a drunkard's wife;
And stamped on childhood'S brow so mild
| That whitening blight, a drunkard's child.
| Go hear and feel and see and know
All that my soul hath felt and known,
| Then look within the wine cups glow
See if it's brightness can atone;
Think if it's flavor you would try
If all proclaimed, "'Tis drink and die"
Tell me hate the bowl,
| Hate is a feeble word
L loathe, abhor my very soul
BY strong disgust is stirred
Whene'erI see, or hear, or tell
OF the dark beverage of He'll.

Life is a School.

Human life is a school. No man
or woman ever gets too old to learn
something in the school of life.
The first lesson that must be
learned is obedience. Duty is the
schoolmaster. He who fails to
learn the first lesson will fail at all
the others. Why? Because charac-
ter is the A B c of successful life.
Brilliancy, ambition, energy all
these are worthless if the inner
voice of duty is disregarded.
And this is in the very nature of
things. He who cannot conquer
himself cannot conquer obstacles
outside of himself. To successfully
organize material things a man
must first organize himself. He
must be in harmony with himself,
with the laws of his being. TO be-
come anything, he must be that
thing. If he achieve goodness, he
must be good. If he achieve great
ness, he must be great.
The first lesson being learned,
the rest are easy. Character,
character, character-you can build
any sort of success on that firm
foundation. If you build on any
thing else, your success is ignoble
success, and therefore only success
full failure. Why do men stumble,
morally, all through life? Because
they stumble at the first lesson.
If you learn to obey the call of duty,
although the other lessons may
seem hard betimes and the tears
may fall on the page of the book,
you have only to say, Il tried to
learn it, teacher" And the great
est of all teachers will show you
the solution Paul Daily News.
