sacrifice for the female sex or tor the
young is part of the scheme Of nature,

story which illustrates this point. Two

lanterns and found themselves in field

coming was panic and furious STAN

there was 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

A WOMAN,s NAME.
Origin OF the Custom OF Changing
II When She Nlnrrfes

Origin of the Custom OF Changing
II When She Mnrries
The custom which makes it proDcr
FOR the Wife to assume the name OF
her husband ut marriage is involved in
much obscurity. A recent authority
advances the opinion that it originated
from q Roman custom and became
common after the Roman occupation
OF England. Thus Julia and Octavia
married to Pompey and Cicero. were
called by the Romans Julia Of Pom
pey and Octavia OF Cicero. and in 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 it is 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 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 1865 and it was de-
cided in the case Of Bon versus Smith
in the reign of Elizabeth that Il woman
by marriage loses her former name
and legally receives the name OF her
husband.-New York Herald.
