Names and the Law.

Speaking generally, the law of Eng
land allows a person to assume and
use any name, provided its use Is not
calculated to deceive or inflict pecuni-
ary loss. So the court Of appeals laid
down the law in Dockrell against Dou-
gall, and this attitude Of the law, the
Law Journal remarks, is characteristic
of our British love Of liberty. French
law is much more strict. It forbids any
citizen to bear any name other than
that which is expressed in the registry
Of his birth or to add any surname to
his proper name. German law is the
same, only it goes little further in
imposing a penalty on any one giving
a false name to an oficial.-Dundee
Advertiser.

A Leopard Collar.

"a leopard collar" he said, taking up
a dog collar studded with sharp spikes
three inches long. Fitting the collar on
his dog, he resumed: 'This piece Of
armor-for that is what it is-illus-
trates an oddity Of the Himalayas-
namely, the fondness Of the Hima-
layan leopard for dog flesh. In the
Himalayas last year found that all
dogs wore these murderous looking
spiked collars. The explanation was
that the Himalayan leopards conducted
an unceasing dog hunt, and that in at
tacking dog, they always fell upon his
neck. This collar with its sharp spikes
is a great protection. 1t has saved
many a dog from hungry leopard.
Often in the Himalayas q dog comes
trotting home safe and sound, though
with smears Of blood and yellow hairs
upon his collar spikes"
