In Defense of Moahers.in-Law.

AS great deal is said and written
against mothers-in-law, it is refreshing to
find one man who can say something in
their defense. This singular character
belongs to Fort Wayne, Indiana, who
says: am not a mother-in-law my
self, but my wife's mother is, and for
her sake | want to say something in be-
half of that much-abused class OF rela-
tives. Since it is become fashionable to
rail at mothers-in-lsw in the public press
and in private life, the great American
people, with that keen sense of humor
peculiar to themselves-and for the pos
session of which good many of them
ought to be hanged--conside it intense,
ly funny as we'll as fashionable. don't.
| recognize the fact that my children 8
grandmother, who is one of their dear
est and truest friends on earth, has a
claim upon my affections, too. There
are doubtless exceptions to this rule, as
there are to most rules under the sun,
but in the main mothers-in-law are en-
titled to ali the respect they receive, and
a good deal more of the same sort Gen
orally the man who speaks insultingly
of his mother.in-law would not be averse
to whipping his wife when occasion
offered, or is mean enough to accept his
mother-in-law' kindly offices when the
children are down with the measles and
give her the cold shoulder afterward At
least it will be safe to say that the man
who insults his mother-in-laws by word
or deed, will bear watching.

COnsauguineous Marriages and
IdfOcy.


DR.. Mitchell, of the Edinburgh College
Of Physicians, says OF idiocy and its re-
lations to marriages of consanguinity
that in more than sixty per cent. of the
cases of idiocy occurring IN the British
Isles the condition is acquired. not con.
genital, and is due to one or other Of the
numerous accidents TO which children
are liable. He disapproyes of unions oi
near relatives, but states that proof is
wanting that any evil resulting from
them is dependent on mysterious in.
auence intrinsic in the consanguinity it.
self. His objections TO the marriage OF
blood relations proceed rather from a
consideration Of the increased risk in
such unions of the transmission ofmorbid
pccuharities. Thus, if deaf mute is
married to person in possession of the
faculties of speech and hearing, the
chances of having deaf mute child will
pc as to 1886, but if deal mutes inter
