ANSWER TO .sKGprrc." !"

IN the beginning God made one ma e
and one female, and In Malachi il:i5
you will find this language: "And did
not he make one? Yet had he not the
residue of the spirit. And wherefore
one; that he might seek Cody seed:
therefore let none deal treaeherously
against the wife of his youth" In the
18th chapter OF Leviticus, at the very
beginning OF a written law, the law of
marriage is clearly given. In Matthew
xix:3- 10 the Savior gives the law of
marriage. In Ephesians v:31 the case
is still more clearly stated. But there
is cline upon line and precept upon
preeept" on this subject in the Bible.
All civilized nations have passed laws
against polygnmy, because IL is against
the ''peace and dignity of the State, !"
against good morals, peace and happi-
ness OF the family and the care of chill
dren.
The licentious aud depraved nature
of man, unchecked and unrestrained
by civil and divine law, drags him and
his posterity to degradation and ruin;
hence In all lands not under Christian
influence women are degraded, and
honorable marriage with one woman
lie ignored. Christianity takes woman
by the hand, elevates aud protects her,
aud gives her her true and lawful place
side by side with man. Your skepti-
cism, free thought and infidelity de-
grades woman, by trying 10 sap the

All through the Northwest have
been reports of typhoid fever, but the
Big Bend country, w. T., seems to
have been afflicted the most. In Wal
tcryille and its immediate vicinity
alone twenty deaths have taken place
in the last month, and every day one
or two fresh victims are added to the
list. 1t seems impossible to prevent
the spread of this epidemic, and its
origin and cause are unknown.

Heredity Of Good Habits.

The common conception Of III rela-
ton to Il ancestors goes no farther
than a general apprehension that we
can inherit their vices. l am glad that
1t begins to enter into social motives
as a power, that as we are so will our
children be. But l desire to empha-
size the brighter side of the fact. 1t is
not only true that a drunkard's chill
dren are liable to inherit a taste for
lntOXicants, and a rake's for u%ncllasti-
ty =; not only that oddities of structure,
such as web toes or a Hapsburg nose,
are passed down in a family line, but
it is even more strongly true that all
sorts OF good habits can be inherited,
and the beauty of a noble thought a
be transmitted into the features of a
child. For a homely example, we say:
"Tom Slawson can't help paying his
debts'-not 50 long as lie can get the
money. His father and grandfather
were risidly honest. Sharp enough to
steal. Yes /: but the bias is the other
way. 1t is Il drift in his blood to do
the square thing.
A Yankee cannot sit still. He is be-
witched by ten generations of grand
mothers that never were idle while
awake. He twitehes and tits his
chair, and moves about and whites
when he is s%tillest. That's the spin
ming wheel and knitting needles, and
d~arning needles and carding combs
that are in his makeup. It's an ex-
IRENE overdone ease of industry.
When a wheel goes too fast it gets Oh
fire in spite of lubricating oil. That's
the way with these Yankees. They
finally inherit Il bonfire and 90 to ash
'es. But it illustrates what |
maj inlerits industry, honor, good
taste, common sense as much as he
does deviltry and consumption.-Dr.
u. Maurice, IN st. Louis Globe Demo-
cyut.
