NATIONALITY“ OF WIVES. LEGISLATION IN ENGLAND,
L
In the House of Commons, recently, Sir J. Butcher (York) asked leave to in- troduce a Bill to amend the British Nationality and. Status of Aliens Aets, 1914 and 1918, so far as affcols married women. In 1844, he said, it was provided that alien women on marrying British subjrots should take British nationality, and by the Act of 1870 and 1914 a British woman marrying an alien lost her nationality. Since 1911 the whole posi tion of women, politically and socially, had been fundamentally changed. The Bill which he sought leave to bring in restored to British women the right they had in 1970 of retaining their British nationality when they married aliens, and it further provided that British women who had lost their nationality by mar riage might re-tako it..

Mr. Edward Lovett, the well-known an thority on folk-lore, lecturing in London en "The Folk-Lore of Natural History," said there was a good deal of logic and common sense in what was called superstition, and undoubtedly reason also, although___it might not always be good reason. The great cause of all superstition dread of the unknown, and in time of peril like the was it was only to be expected that, we should turn to: the protection of mascots, Natural objects were still worn as larms in this country to an ext at that was dinost incredible. He had picked up a mandrake, shaped like a human form, on a barrow in the East End of London, and the dealer had told him that a little bit swallowed was a good cure for certain ills. The important fact to remember- was that the mandrake and other planta by their appearance bad become medicines. Thus the lung-wort was believed to be good for lung troubles, and red plants to be good for the blood, Pieces of orris root used in the case of teething children were preferred if they were in the shape of a human body, however roughly; and the apparently crainped foot of the mole was held to be i specific for cramp in man or women."
Hundreds of agricultural labourers, de- clared Mr. Dovett, carried a mole's foot in their pocket; and he (the lecturer) had even seen them siver-mounted on sale in Paris- shope.

The appear ance of the stone in each case was supposed to have a sympathetic affinity in the human body. In like manner. fishermen in the North Sea carved the amber brought up in their pets into heart-shapes, and carried them as a "safeguard against drowning. They believed, said Mr. Lovett, that the beart was the seat of life; they did not know it was only a pump.
