HEROlSM IN ANIMALS.
IL II Not More Uncommon Than IL
Brute Maternal Affection


A writer on natural history complains
that men are prone to regard mascu-
line courage in defense OF others as n
virtue purely human In reality self
sacrifice for the female sex or for the
young is part OF the scheme OF nature.
and every male thing is strong and
splendid I'm appearance because he is
the descendant OF those who have
proudly held and guarded the privi-
lege OF death" Another writer tells a
story which illustrates this point. Two
entomolOgists, hunting at night. clam
bered over a gate with their swinging
lanterns and found themselves in field
filed with sheep. The result OF their
coming was panic and furious STAN
pede The sheep charged heller SHELTER
away from the lanterns and huddled to-
gether at the far end OF the field. But
there was n ram among them. and as
the flock scurried away this creature
stood firm. covering the retreat Then.
steadily and majestically. the huge ram
advanced with lowered head toward
the mysterious lights and pressed them
back to the gate. This is only one
graphic story OF many that might be
told Of masculine courage throughout
nature. Man has some virtues which
animals, so far as we can Judge. Know
nothing about; but heroism-the pride
OF afrording protection 10 the weak
and daring death for the security Of
the fock-is not n human attribute
alone. any more than is maternal af-
lection.

A WOMAN'S NAME.
Origin of the Custom Of Changing
IL when She Marrfes

Origin OF the Custom OF Changing
IL when She Marrtes.
The custom which makes 1t proper
for the wife to assume the name OF
her husband at marriage is involved in
much obscurity. A recent authority
advances the opinion that II originated
from Roman custom and became
common after the Roman occupation
or England. Thus Julia and Octavia,
married TO POmpey and Cicero, were
called by the Romans Julia OF Pom
pey and Octavia OF Cicero. and I'm later
times the married women OF most Eu-
ropean countries signed their names in
the same way. but omitted the of"
In spite OF this theory II is n fact that
as late as the sixteenth and the be
ginning OF the seventeenth century n
Catherine Parr signed her name with
out any change, though she had been
twice married. We also hear OF Lady
Jane Grey. not Dudley, and ArabeIla
Stuart. not Seymour. etc. Some think
that the custom originated with the
Scriptural idea that the husband and
wife are one. This was the rule OF
law as far back rs 1868, and il was de-
cioed in the case OF Bon versus Smith
in the reign OF Elizabeth that n woman
by marriage loses her former name
and legally receives the name Of her
husband.-New York Herald.

THE GRAND PROPELLIEG POWER.

Ii is easy to see why the doctrine
should be promulgated and follow
ed that advertising is the soul of
business; that the man who cannot
use advertising in his business has
no right TO be in business; that, as
Macaulay once said. advertising is
to business what steam is to ma
chinery, the grand propelling
power. The story is told of a man
who once came To a merchant to
buy remnant of cloth long out Of
fashion, with which to repair a
garment. The merchant was de-
lighted to be able to satisfy the
new customer and asked, How do
you happen to come to me for this
bagatellel" The answer was. Il
thought you would be the most
likely man to have the sample be-
cause YOU never advertise. Our
modern immense establishments
take good care not to hide their
light under a bushel. 1t is claimed
that one of these establishments in
the United States paid out $3.50, GOO
annually for advertisements in
three newspapers alone, and the
newspaper advertising expenses of
the twelve largest retail stores
have been estimated at $4,000. 900

without water or soap. by instruments
very similar to these, and the men of
the stone age would most likely find
out at very early stage that to leave
hair upon their face was to give a use

That. indeed, was the reason why
Alexander the Great compelled his SOL

no question that the practice existed
long before hts day
The Oldest Egyptian sculptures show

Pharaoh, about 1900 b. c., shaved
