A WOMAN'S NAME.
Origin of the Custom Of Cha ngtni
1t When She Marries.

Origin of the Custom OF Changine
1t When She Marries.
The custom which makes 1t proper
Tor the wife to assume the name Of
her husband at marriage is involved In
much obscurity. A recent authority
advances the opinion that it original ted
from a Roman custom and became
common after the Roman occupation
Of England. Thus Julia and Octavia,
married to Pompey and Cicero. We're
called by the Romans Julia Of Pom
pey and Octavla Of Cicero, and in later
times the married women Of most Eu-
'opean countries signed their names in
the same way, but omitted the "of."
In spite Of this theory it is fact that
as late as the sixteenth and the be-
ginning Of the seventeenth century a
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 Arabella
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 as 1868, and it was de-
cided in the case of Bon versus Smith
in the reign of Elizabeth that a woman
by marriage loses her former name
and legally receives the name Of her
husband.-Eew York Herald.

HEROISM IN ANIMALS.

1t IL No, More Uncommon Than IL
Drute Maternal Affection.
A writer on natural history complains
that men are prone to regard mascu-
line courage in defense Of others as 4
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 in appearance because he is
the descendant Of those who have
proudly held and guarded the privi-
lege OF DEATH" Another writer tells
story which illustrates this point. Two
entomologists, hunting at night. clam
bered over a gate with their swinging
lanterns and found themselves in 6eld
filled with sheep. The result of their
coming was panic and furious stam-
pede. The sheep charged heller SHELTER
away from the lanterns and huddled to.
gether at the far end Of the field. But
there was ram among them. aud 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 affording protection to tue weak
and daring death for the security OF
the fock--is not a human attribute
alone, any more than is maternal At.

The Old Fashioned Wife.

A pretty young married woman said
to friend the other day: Mary is
such an old fashioned wife She has
such queer notions about her duty to
her husband and home. Why, she de.
clines all Invitations unless be is in.
Guided and never under any circum.
stances is away from home when he
returns at night.
Then she always gets up to break.
fast with him and even goes so far as
to prepare certain favorite dishes for
him instead OF leaving such business
to the cook. She does not go away in
the summer until he is able to 90, too,
and, in fact, she fuses over him in
the most absurd fashion"
After the pretty creature had van.
fshed to join party Of friends at din.
ner reflective mood stole over the
friend. aud she thought how much bet.
ter It would be IL there were more old
fashioned wives.

ceiver at his ear and his eye on the
clock that licked loudly near by. Over

American side OF the ocean, and Mar
conf had ordered his operator i'll faroff
Poldhu, 1900 watery miles away. to
begin signaling the letter S-three dots
OF the Morse code. three flashes Of the
BLUSH sparks-at that corresponding
hour. For six years he had been look
ing forward to and working for that
moment, the final test of all his ef-
fort and the beginning OF new tri-
un,ph. He sat waiting to hear three
small sounds, the br-br-br of the Morse
code S, hunming on the diaphragm of
his receiver, the signature Of the ether
waves that had travelled 1000 miles to
his listening ear. Az the hands of the
clock. whose ticking alone broke the
minutes past II the receiver at the
inventors ear began to hum. br-br-br,
as distinctly as the sharp rap of pen
Gil on table. The unmistakable note
of the ether vibrations sounded in the
telephone receiver. The telephone re-
ceiver was used instead of the usual
recorder on account Of its superior SEN
