The Son.in.LaW.

The typical American mother-in-law
Is the ideal mOther-in-law. She is affec-
tomato. kind, and reasonably indulgent
to her son-in-law, as she is devoted to
his children, helping to rear and train
them in the way they should 60, and in
sickness being very often at once physi-
clan, nurse, and ministering angel.
There are few deserving so~ns-in-law in
this country who have not an angelic
mother-in-law, and to the credit of most
Americans be it said that the mother-in-
law is generally the recipient of a filial
affection only second to that rendered to
ones own mother. Every man almost
looks upon his mother as being worthy
of the highest seal in heaven, and
blessed indeed is he (and there are many
such men) who can in his heart feel that
his mother-in-law is entitled to a seat by
her side.
"Worthy and dutiful sons-in-law
make loving and sweet-tempered moth
ers-in-law." This rule holds good in
nine cases out of ten, and certainly that
makes a pretty good one. 1t would be
well for every young man who is about
to take upon himself the important and
happy relation of son-in-law to write the
above rule on the tablet of his memory,
and redouble the joys and tighten the
sorrows of life by so conducting him.

In all the history of Great Britain
there has never been a time when ma
tional affairs presented quite 80 interest
ing an aspect as exists at the present
time. The election just past has devel-
oped a very peculiar state of the relative
strength of the different factions or par.
ties. Lord Salisbury, present premier,
ex-premier Gladstone, and Parnell, are
the three leaders of the three separate
parties, or coalition of factions, and no
one of the three can lay claim to abso-
lutte power, ven when his particular
faction adheres to him, unanimously.
Gladstone has made wonderful accretions
to his strength, while Parnell has played
loose between both him and Salisbury,
materially advancing the interests of the
home rulers thereby. 1t is unsafe, how
ever, to predict anything for the future,
because the relative strength of these
parties cannot be determined until put
to the test in parliament, and even then
it will be fiuctuating, depending largely
on the questions at issue.

What Science does for Arts.

Let me take a single example of how
even a petty manufacture improved by
the teachings of science affects the COM
forts and enlarges the of man.
kind. When | was a boy the only way
of obtaining a light was by the finder
box with its quadruplc materials, flint
and steel, burned rags or finder. and a
sulphur-match. If everything went well,
if the box could be found and the air
was dry. a light could be obtained in
two minutes; but very often the time
occupied was much longer, and the pro-
cess became a great trial to the serenity
of temper. The consequence of this was,
that a fire or a burning lamp was kept
alight through the day. Old Gerard,
in his HERBAL" tells us how certain
fungi were used to carry fire from n
part of the country to the other. The
Undertook long held its position as q
great discovery in arts. The pyiridicala
tgnsarta of the Romans appears to have
been much the same implement, though
a little ruder than the flint and steel
which Philip the Good put into the col
lar of the Golden Fleece in 1929 as a re-
presentation of high knowledge in the
prOSTcSs VI TIC aTtS. IL continued 10 pre-
vail till 1888, when phosphorus-matches
were introduced, though / have been
amused to find that there are q few ven
cradle ancients in London who still
stick to the Undertook. and for whom
a few shops keep a small supply. Phos-
phorus was no new discovery, for it had
been obtained by an Arabian called
Bechel in the eighth century. How
ever, it was not forgotten, and was re-
discovered by Brandt, who made it out
of very sinking materials in 1863.
Other discoveries had, however, to be
made before it could be used for lucifer-
matches. The science of combustion
was only developed on the discovery of
oxygen a century later. Time had to
elapse before chemical analysis showed
the kind of bodies which could be added
to phosphorus so as to make it ignite
readily. So it was not till 1888 that
matches became a partial success. In
tolerably bad they then were, danger
ously inflammable, horribly poisonous
to the makers, and injurious to the lungs
of the consumers. 1t required another
discovery by Schroeder, in 1S45, to
change poisonous waxy into innocuous
red-brick phosphorus In order that these
defects might be remedied and to give us
the safety-match of the present day.
