Until within the last fifty years Amert-

beyond what was necessary for the es-
tablishmen, Of property rights. and even
this was neglected to remarkable de-
gree. The lineages OF royal personages
and Of biblical characters were traced

was not deemed worth knowing. The
earliest applications of the principles OF
genealogy were made by the law. SO 1t
for the meaning Of most Of the terms
now in use Modern genealogists have
broadened the meanings Of some OF these
to considerable degree. and this fact
difficult to distinguish In old records be-
tween the strict legal meaning and that
which has become commonly accepted.
The term ancestor in genealogy applies
to either male or female. But legally the
word ancestor may
Legal Definition be used differently.
- a The law defines an
VI 0aCestoS. ancestor as one from
whom an heir inherits property or as one
prior to another In the right to inherit
property. Such an ancestor may or may
not be Of the same line Of descent. A
son inheriting property is by law the heir
Of his ancestor and by descent the de-
scendant Of his ancestor. But II the po-
sition be reversed and the father inherit
money from his son. he is the heir Of his
ancestor according to the law, and by de-
scent he L. the ancestor of his descendant
and the latter is an ancestor Of his own
ancestor.
In the days when property rights were
vested solely In men, and when women
had little share in the distribution OF
wealth. the law recognized only the male
in the tracing of the male line Of descent.
But the evolution OF public opinion has
modified this condition SO that the rights
Of property now, especially In the United
and women. Therefore modern genealogy
recognizes the Importance OF the female
line Of descent and 1t has been scientific
ally established that the hereditary in
terity is fully equal to that OF the male.
In most Of the prominent modern socie-
ties based upon genealogical descent, the
female line has equal standing with the
male, despite the 10ct tnat II does not
perpetuate the family name.

BY A. w. LAMOUREUX.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
PARIS, February "a. 1912.
The heavy death rate from consumption
among the poorer classes in Paris has
long been attributed to the overcrowded
and consequently insanitary condition of
the average workmen's dwelling.
In the chamber Of deputies Nj. Charles
Dumont, ex-minister of public works,
submitted resolution claiming urgency
for a measure to empower local authori-
ties to raise and advance money for
model dwellings,. and asked the govern
ment to accelerate it's passage through
parliament.
In the course Of the debate which fol-
lowed sinister revelations were made re-
garding the overcrowded and unhealthy
surroundings in which the Paris prole-
tariat lives. NJ. Dumont declared that
there were in the city 10000 apartments
and houses which were frightfully over
crowded. They are very old, without ade-
quate light and air, but the worst fea-
ture of all was that the rents for these
hotbeds of disease were being constantly
increased
