In England and in the United States
a woman loses her identity in mar
rlage. In Belgium and Spain the hus.
band adds the name of his wife to
his own. In the United States women
sometimes retain the family name. as
Mrs. Harriet (BeecherI Stowe. In the
Channel islands the woman never
loses her maiden name. In Spain the
children write the names of both
parents, as Llarena y Monteyerde. In

am called Teresa Panza, but by good
right they ought to call me Teresa
Casajo." In Scotland both names are
preserved, and the woman is always
known by her maiden name. In Wales
it is the custom to describe the woman
by her maiden name. The fact that
a woman on becoming the wife of a
man loses her identity is apparent

Carloads of CrawIers.

There were five full carloads of a
queer kind of freight that recently left
the far western states for the east
The carloads were of wriggling. writh-
ing, cold and clammy snakes. and
most of them were poisonous. They
had been collected in different parts
of California, New Mexico and Ari.
zona and in northwestern Mexico. and
there were LOO of them altogether.
There were twentyfour different kinds
of snakes in the five carloads, and they
were of all sorts and different lengths
If they had been stretched out in a
line they would have measured all of
three miles, and three miles of snakes
is no small matter. The shipments
were made to different zoos in the
eastern cities and to Europe. where

languages will call them by names
that would sound funny to the boys

a Puzzle Game

Here is pencil and paper game for
the puzzle loving. 1t can be played
by any number. Starting with one
given word. the test is to change it
into another given word by changing
only one letter at time. and the win
ner is he who arrives most quickly
at the result and by the shortest proc.
ess. For instance, suppose the word
dog" is given to be changed into
'cat." The best method would be
dot, cot, cat. OF course longer words
are more difficult, but usually patience
will bring success. For instance. the
word fast" may be changed into
"slow" by the following steps: Fast,
hast. lost, loot, SCOT, slot, slow. Per-
haps there is shorter way that a
little study will discover. If the party
is large it is more fun to play the
game with groups Of two as partners.

A Millionaire.

The term millionaire" is of inter-
national use. but it does not mean the
same thing in the mouths of different
nations. To every one it means the
possession of a million, but not neces-
sarily a million dollars. In Great
Britain a millionaire has a million
pounds, or nearly $5,OO0,OOO, while
in France they count francs, so
that there millionaire is a compare
lively poor individual with but $780,
900 to bless himself with. Million
aires are quite common in Prussia,
but a million marks don't mean
much these days, amounting to trifie
of $250,0OO in our money. For mil
lionaires of real class it Is necessary
to go back to old Babylon. The Baby
lonian millionaire had 100000 talents
and would not be regarded as a poor
man even by Wall street Office boy.
A talent was about $1,000, and a mil

Good and BAD.

A remarkably brief. effective sum-
ming up was once quoted by Lord
James in an after dinner speech. 1t
was delivered by an Irish judge trying
a man for pig stealing. The evidence
of his guilt was conclusive. but the
prisoner insisted on calling a number
of witnesses, who testified most em-
phatically to his general good character.
After hearing their evidence and the
counsels speeches the Judge remarked.
Gentlemen of the jury, l think that
the only conclusion you can arrive at is
that the pig was stolen bv the prisoner
and that be is the most amiable man

Resorcin is one of the most effective
germ destroyers ever discovered by
science, and in connection with Beta
Napthol, which is both germicidal and
antisepic, q combination is formed
which destroys the germs which rob
the hair OF its natural nourishment
and also creates a clean, healthy condi-
tion Of the scalp, which prevents the
development of new germs.

matter or dye, Is a well-known irgre-
dent for restoring the hair to it's mai
ural color, when the loss Of hair hrs
been caused by disease of the scalp
These ingredients in proper combina-
ton, with alcohol added as a stimulant
and for its well-defined nourishing
properties, perfect perhaps the most eff
fective remedy that is known for scalp
