Sentimental Nonsense.

There is one sentimental story which
crops up perennially in the daily press
and in the weekly fiction. 1t repre-
sents the affecting Homecoming of the
middle-aged son in possession of a
fortune, to his aged mother, and sud-
denly changing the poor old woman's
lot from one of semi-starvation, and
fireless hearth. and scanty clothing, to
one of possession OF every luxury-an
elegant mansion, horses, fine raiment,
etc. It is false teaching for the boys
who delight in reading such stories
and imagining themselves heroes of
such tales. In many cases of runaway
sons the mothers died of sorrow and
neglect, If not of want. In other cases
the sons never made any fortune, and
even when in real life boy deserted
his mother for years and returned to
find her old, lonely, poor and iufirm.
his belated wealth and care could never
be to her what his comfortable sup
port and affection would have been in
her middle age. Life is too uncertain
for boys and young men to shirk pres
emit duties to parents in the expectation
OF doing great things for them In the
future. - Chicago Journal.

Ancient Marine Heroes.

The adventurous spirit and courage
of the men who, centuries ago, sailed
on unknown seas in search of new
worlds amaze me. If there were any
new worlds left for US to discover, we
would go in iron steamers and enjoy
comfort, luxury and safety. But those
men sailed in ships, some of which
were not over twenty tons burden,
sailed without charts, or canned milk,
or electric hair brushes, or smoking
room, or any one who would play poker
or bet on the daily run of the ship-in
fact, without any of the modern COM
forts of ocean travel; but they kept on
discovering us, all over this continent,
even when sometimes they had to work
Sundays, and go for days without food,
and stand watches to keep the sailors
from lunching off each other / really
think they deserved credit for this,
especially when we consider that when
they got through job of discovering,
and went home and reported to the
kings who owned them, they were
sometimes put in prison, or had their
heads amputated. Colonel Armaory

MARRIAGE CUSTOMS.
Peoples Who Have But Little venerat
for MOtherS.in-LaW.

Peoples Who Have But Little veneratfon
for MOthers-in-Law.
In the anthropological section of the
British Association E. B. Tyler recent
ly described a method of Investigating
the development of institutions as ap-
piled to laws of marriage and descent.
He said: with the view of applying
direct numerical method to anthropol-
ogy, the writer has compiled schedules
of the systems of marriage and descent
among some three hundred and fifty
peoples of the world, SO as to ascertain
by means of a method of adhesion
how far each rule co-exists or not with
other rules, and what have been the
directions of development from one
rule to another! As first test of the
results to be obtained by this means
the barbaric custom is examined
which forbids the husband and his
footing) to speak or look at one
another or mention one another's
names. Some seventy peoples prac-
tice this or the converse custom of the
wife and her husbands relatives being
obliged ceremonially to cut one an
other. On classifying the marriage
rules of mankind marked distinction
is found to lie between those people
whose custom is for the husband to re-
side with his wife's family and those
where he removes her to his own
home. 1t appears that the avoidance
custom between the husband and his
wife's family belongs preponderantly
Gin fourteen cases, as compared with
