Roman Marriage TO-.

When Rome became the master
state of the Mediterranean world, and
especially during the last century of
the republic. woman, aside from a
few slight limitations of form rather
than of substance, had already &C.
quired legal and economic independ-
ence, the condition necessary for so
cial and moral equality. AS to mar.
riage, the affianced pair could at that
time choose between two different le-
gal family regimes; marriage with ma
nus, the older form, in which all the
goods of the wife passed to the owner
ship of the husband, SO that she could
no longer possess anything in her own
name; or marriage without manus, in
which only the dover became the prop
erty of the husband, and the wife
remained mistress of all her other
belongings and all that she might &C
quire.
Except in some cases, and for spec.
ial reasons. in all the families of the
aristocracy, by common consent, mar
rieges, during the last centuries of
the republic, We're contracted in the
later form; so that at the time mar
ried women directly and openly had
gained economic independence,

Origin of the semaphore.

From the earliest times and among
savage nations beacon fires and in
terrupted columns of smoke have been
used to give warning of the approach
OF an enemy or the news of victory or
defeat. Signalling by combinations Of
flags is another early method, and Ia
still used at sea. However, 1t was not
until 1875, when Lord George MUIR
ray introduced his semaphore system,
that anything like an efficient means
OF Geographic communication was es-
tablished. The admiralty at the time,
seeing the advantages of such sys-
TEN, caused semaphore stations to be
established on all the highest points
from London to Dover, Deal, and
Portsmouth. So effectual was the sys-
tenn that message could be, in favor
able circumstances, transmitted from
London to Deal, Dover to Portsmouth,
and a reply received back in London
In seven and half minutes. The OPP
GRAFTON was performed by three men
in each station, two of whom were on
the lookout, while the third was en-
ployed in working the six shutters.
which were placed over the building
in two vertical frames in such a way
that SO distinct signals could be
formed. Ill,

Garments of Fishes, skins.

Among the unique and wonderful
garments worn at the present day are
the curious fish-skin dresses of the
wealthy women of the Gold tribe, liv-
ing along the Amur river. East Siberia
Though they can neither read nor
write. yet these people are producing
astonishing ornaments. designs and
embroidery work. The dress is com.
posed of several layers of fish-skin,
the undermost representing the skin
of the garment proper, the uppermost
showing the ornaments of their cut
out forms. Between these two lay
ers is inserted a middle layer, which
serves as a background, throwing out
distinctly all parts of the ornaments.
The pieces of fish-skin forming the
ornaments are generally colored blue.
The front and back of the dress lie
adorned with these cut-out pieces OF
fish-skin, sewed with fish-skin thread.

Mount Etna.

Mount Etna is one of the great vol
canoes of the north. 1t is great In
size, great in activity, great in beauty.
In size 1t would cover the entire me.
tropolitan counties. It's height is IL
600 feet above sea level. AS to Its
power, one of these eruptions some
centuries ago killed eighty thousand
neople which is probably more than
Vesuyius has ever done in all It's ex-
istence as volcano, not excepting the
great eruption of 70 A. D.. which des-
troyed the cities of Herculaneum and
Pompeii. AS to Its beauty this is
also very difficult to describe. 1t Is
teemlng with life, animal and vege-
table. and is snow covered one-half
the year; the other half. 1t is bare to
it's very summit.

to the world that he would
be a candid tie before the peo-
pie in 1912, This would seen
to be a sufficient answer to
the query of the politicians;
but it is argued by them that
Mr.. Rroussard has a way of
getting ''cold feet" every now
