The Matrimonial Greed.

The following paraphrase of the Queunque
vult Athanasus appears in an American paper
Whosoever will be married, before all things
1t Is necessary that he hold the conjugal faith !;
and the coDjugal faith is this: That there were
two rational beings created, both equal, and yet
one superior to the other, and the inferior shall
bear rule over the superior, which faith, except
every one keep whole and indebted, without
doubt he shall be scolded at everlasting.
The man is superior 70 the woman, and the
woman is inferior 10 the man yet both are
equal, and the woman shall govern the man.
The woman is commanded to obey the man,
ara the man ought to obey the woman
And yet there are not two obedients, but one
obedent.
For there is one dominion nominal of the
husband, and another dominion real of the wife.
And yet there are not two dominions but one
dominion.
For like as we are compelled by the Christian
verify to acknowledge that wives must submit
themselves to their own husbands, and be sub
iect TO them in all things
So we are forbidden by the coniugal faith to
say that they should be at all Influenced by their
wills to pay regards to their regards
The man was not created for the woman, but
the woman for the man.
Yet the man shall be the slave of the woman,
anu Tue WOMAN tne tyrant oil the man.
so that In all things, aforesaid, the subjec-
ton OF the superior to the inferior is to be be-
lieved.
lie, therefore, that will be married must thus
think OF the woman and the man.
Furthermore, it is necessary to submissive
matrlmony that he also believe rightly the in
fallibility of his wife.
For the right faith is that we believe and con-
TESS that the wife is falIible and lnfallble.
Perfectly fable and perfectly infallible of
an erring soul and unerring mind subsistiDg
lalllble as touching her human nature and lu-
fall6e as touching her female sex.
Who although she be infallible. yet she is not
two but one woman; who submitted to lawful
marriage to acquire Unlawful dominion; and
promised religiousy to obey that she might rule
with uncontrolliDg sway.
This is the conjugal faith, which, except man
believe faithfully, he cannot be married.

The Alteration of NlohaInmed's
Mantle.

1t is now the month of Ramazau over in Tur-
key and other Mohammedan countries says
late Exchange)-the Lent Of their religion, and
The Mussnlmans of Constantinople have had
their pleasure 10 adoring the relics of the pro-
phet. Five of these relics are in the palace OF
the Seraglio; the chief of these is the Sarjak
shereef, or holy standard. which is believed to
have been either the curtain of Ageshas tent or
the turban OF one OF Mohammed's converted
foes and warmest disciples. Nobody can posi-
bly, know which it is, for it is sewed inside of
something called the Caliph Omars standard, and
that in something else, until there are 40 differ
ent sacks or cases of rich stuffs, one over the
other, and the whole treasure is tucked into u
rosewood Golfer inlaid with mother-of-pearl, tor
toise-sheIl and other precious stones. The sec
ond treasure is mantle with history. There
we're Elk learned pagan Arabs whom Mahomet
desiring to convert defed to produce any writ
ing more beautiful than the Koran. Five of the
pagans gave in at once, but the sixth stuck to it
that the Koran was vulglr affair, and was con-
sequently driven into the desert, where he came
to his senses and wrote poem, which ranks in
the estimation of all the Mussulmans only Just
below the Koran. The poem appeased the Pro-
phet, who IN his delight threw over the writer's
shoulders his own mantle, which is the one re-
ferred to. The third relic is the Prophets

about three inches long of lightest brown
color, without gray hair. and is preserved 10
glass case. The other articles are u tooth pick
ed out of Mohammeds jaw by pick-ax, and
foot print of the Prophet in O rock, some say
when he was helping the masons to lift heavy
stone in the building of the Kaaba, others say
when he jerked himself into a seat on AL Borlk
his magic steed On the 18th of Ramazan, the
Sultan, his Court, and the principal dgnitaries
OF religion go and ADORE The mantle Is taken
out OF the 40 coverings which enveop it as The
holy banner is enyeloped, and the Sultan and the
rest, one after the other, press Its hem to their
lips, the chamberlain touching the spot each
time with an embroidered handkerchief which
he then presents to the devotee. After all have
kissed the garment the Sheikh u-Islam and the
chief of Emirs with napkins and pure water wipe
and dry 1t. The water, having by this process
become holy, is the perquisite OF the agha or
headeunuch of the virgins department and he
distributes it among the favorites of the harem
of the Sultan and Of other grand dignitaries, to
each one vial thereof sealed with the agha's
signet. This parsonage, and the messengers who
carry it, are given costly presents, and the wa
ter. when received, is doled out drop by drop,
and mixed with other water, is drank Imme-
diately upon breaking fast during the remainder

An Amusing BaptIsmaI incident.

London Figaro is indebted to the Newtouards
Chronicle for an account of what that Hibernian
print not appropriately calls an amusing
baptlsmal incident" A few Sundays ago. it
seems, it fell TO the lot of distinguished Pres
byterian professor to preach IN church said to
be not hundred miles from Randalstown-
wherever that may be. After the sermon
child was to be baptised, and the eloquent d.
vine cOgnizant of this fact, dilated on the bene-
fits OF baptism. and ha:ing exhausted the gene
raj aspects OF the rite, proceeded to make parti-
cuar reference to the impending infant. Warm
ing with his subject the good went on
Substantially to this effect =" There is no
saying, my Christian brethren, to what position
the little one now before may rise Taken in
hand by some family of eminence and high social
condition, it may, in due season. and when pro-
perly educated, become officer in one of her
Majesty's regiments. 1t may attain to the
honorable position of member of Parliament /;
it may even win seat in the house of Lords !;
or, better than either in my opinion, it may live
to preach the Gospel from the very pulpit which
now 30 unworthlly occupy" Then. STOPPING
down to the haby's father. the perspiring pres
byter said, Name this child" and as the pa
ternal response. Eliza Jane" distinctly perme-
ated the building. the reverend gentleman grew
appoplecteally rubicund of visage, and registered
a mental VOW never again to prophecy unless he
knew. AS for the ill-natured congregation, they

has been enabled TO devote his entire time TO his
favorite pursuits. and since his marriage with
his cousin. Miss Emma Wedgewood, has resided
at Down, amid the rich and varied scenery Of
one of the prettiest parts OF Kent. As his
numerous family has grown up around him. be
has been relieved of all the cares which distract
the scientific worker 10 the heat and turmoil of
active life. He leads truly calm and philo-
sophie existence. uuvexed by the contemplation
of weekly bills and the signing OF cheques. In
his wife and family he is especially happy. being
spared the pain of degenerate offspring. His
oldest son. Sir. William Darwin, is banker at
Southampton the second, George took high
honors at Cambridge, and is now Fellow of
Trinity; the third, Frank, who has inherited his
fathers ill-health acts as his secretary; the
fourth, Leonard, is an officer in the artillery, and
distinguished himself as one of the scientific
corps sent to observe the transit of Venus the
fifth, Horace, is au excellent mathematician.
One married and one unmarried daughter COM
plete a family whose constant care is to relieve
its head OF all possible trouble or anxiety,
Thus, free from the disturbing influences Of
the world, he can well afford to treat with ad-
mlrable good-humor the attacks Of scientific
opponents. and the jokes of ignorant folk in-
capable of understanding either his books or
himself. When young he pursued feld-sports
with the combined interest of the hunter and the
naturalist; but of late years he has found his
chief relaxation in reading the popular novels Of
the day. feeling, like Auguste Comte, that the
scientific bow requires frequent unbending. In
his treatment of books and specimens. he re-
sembles Mr.. Carlyle-cariug nothing for them
when read or thoroughly investigated. His
books and plants are always at the service of his
neighbors. among whom one of the nearest is
Sir john Lubbock. Finally, let it be remem-
bered that Mr.. Darwin has exercised no common
degree of moral influence on the scientific world
| Completely possessed with the idea of absolute
truth at all hazards, he abhors tamperng with
or shaping facts to suit preconceived theories
1t is, perhaps, hardly too much to say that nc
man has exercised more powerful influence on
the study OF natural history since Aristotle him
self.-The World.

Life Philosophy.

If we have no pride we should not condemn
that Of others.
We are never SO happy or unhappy as we sup
pose.
Every one blames his memory, no one blames
his judgment
Those who apply themselves too closely to
little things render themselves incapable of great
things.
1t is far easier to be wise for others than to
be so for ones SELF
When not prompted by vanity we say little.
Ability wins us the esteem Of true men, luck
that OF the people.
We do not despise all who have vices, but we
do despise all who have not virtues.
Perfect valor is to do without witnesses what
one would do before all the world
Absence extinguishes small passions and in
creases great ones, as the wind will blow out q
candle and blow in a fire.

Diamonds.

Is the capacity of the world for absorbing dia-
from an interesting report of Major LAnyon. the
administrator Of Griqualand West After esti-
mating the annual QUIT turn Of diamonds in that
province az a value Of two and a half millions
sterling, be adduces evidence to prove that this
enormous production exercises scarcely any ef-
feet on the market price. 1t is true that there
was something OF fall just after the fields were
opened, owing probably to panic feeling among
the great dealers OF Europe and America who
had quantities OF stones on hand. They could
not tell what would be the productive power Of
the new fields, aud therefore FASTENED to sell
rather than to buy, with view to realizing be-
fore the market fell. Since that time. however
quotations have renamed at nearly dead level
for ordinary qualities. but stones of exceptional
water and size fetch fancy prices. large dig
ger and exporter told Major Lanyon that the
price as shown By bis books ranged between
l05s. and 1905. per carat tor stones averaging
three and half carats each. On the Other
hand. he had known two-carat stone sell for
EGO. on account OF Its exceptional purity and
brIliaDcy. For hawless white diamonds of good
shape and water. averaging one carat EACH the
market price ia from 50s. to Sos. according TO
the temporary demand. But nine and ten carat
stones of similar quality readily fetch Els per
carat. Even the slightest color considerably di-
mnshes the value so that light yellow stones,
perfect in every respect but their hue may
be purchased at about 20s carat up to five
carats, while those weighing forty or fifty carats
rarely fetch much as el0. The curious thing.
however, is that an article for which would
imagine only a limited market exists shonld
maintain something like fixed level of value in
spite OF greatly increased production The only
way apparently, to account Tor this anomaly is
by supposing that considerable number Of peo-
pie now wear diamonds who used to be content
with less precious gems.-Globe (EDgand).
