Absolutely Pure

Changing Her Aame. It is said that the practice of the wife assuming the husband’s name at marriage originated from a Roman custom. Thus Julia and Octavia,married to Pompey and Cicero, were called by the Romans Julia of Pompey and Octavia of Cicero, and in later times married women in most European countries signed their names in the same manner, but omitted the “of.” It may be mentioned against this view that during the sixteenth and even in the beginning of the seventeenth century the usage seems doubtful, since we find Catherine Parr so signing herself after she had been twice married, and we always hear of Lady Jane Grey (not Dudley) and Arabella Stuari (not Seymour). Some persons think that the custom originated from the Scriptural teaching that husband and wife are one. It was decided in the case of Bon versus Smith in the reign of Elizabeth, that a woman by marriage loses her former name and legally receives the name of her husband. Giants. There has been no subject concerning which more lies have been told than about giants. Until it was found that modern men could not be squeezed into the armor at toe Tower, it was taken for granted that we had degenerated in size. This is not only not the ease, but in the matter of giants we have the advantage of our predecessors. The Emperor Maximinus, indeed, was said to have been eight and one-half feet high, but ancient tnensuration, especially in the case of an emperor, is not to be trusted;indeed, from its not having made him taller, it is certain there was no one else nearly so tall. Orestes, it is true, we are told was ten feet long after death; but he was not thought so highly of when alive; we may reasonably take eight feet as his ultimatum. Now, Chang was eight feet, and I read that there are two giants at present going about in English caravans who exceed that altitude. The Strongest Men Grow Weak Sumeiimes.

McElree’s YVine of Cardui relieves the agony endured ly many women month after month in modest silence. It is recommended by many physicians as the most effective remedy known for painful menstruation. The treatment can be adopted in the privacy of home, without submitting to humiliating examinations or consult ing a doctor. Mrs. W. L. Mitchell of Pratt Mines, Ala., writes: “For the past six months I have s .ffered awful pains at the time of my monthly periods. A few months ago my h .■.band got me some McElree’s Wine of Cardui. Since using that I haven’t felt a pain. I can’t give it all the praise it should have.” J. W.
