Custom has made 1t almost univer-

should be SO. Nevertheless there Is
nothing in the laws of this country
prohibiting mans taking another
name, and no legal penalty is attached
to his doing SO. There is always, how
ever, possibility Of its being attended
with Inconvenience and perhaps loss tc

There IS way by which n man
may change his name with the sanction
Of the law, and that is the only safo
why. But the law requires him to as
sign some good reason for the change.
Men huve assigned various reasons for
wishing to change their names. Some
times man wishes to drop his right
name because 1t Is Of foreign origin

Frequently infants are left orphans

The deficit in the treasury receipts must be made good and made good rapidly. To that end. says one writ CT, the people who are opposed to tariff revision will urge strongly. persistently and probably effectively. the reinstitu- ton of internal revenue taxation on such necessities as beer. cigars, tobac- co. tea. coffee and other things of daily use in the life of the common people that they are pleased to term luxuries This combination the opponents of tariff revision believe will enable them to carry through their program, which is in short to make the railroads and rhe common people the lenders that will keep the law makers away from the tariff schedules, and permit the tariff barons to enjoy two years more of their present exorbitant.p profits.

The field of the bureau of forestry has expanded remarkably in the past few years.

This office was continued until the division Of forestery was created. July i, 1886.
