THE MARRIAGE SYSTEM.

A Better Law Demanded for the Govern
ment of Husbands and Wives.
My theory of marriage in its relation
to society would give this postulate,
says writer in the Chicago Tribune.
Husband and wife are one. and that one
is-husband and wife. l believe they
will never come to the heights of purity,
of power and peace for which they were
designed in Heaven, until this better
law prevails:
1.-TWO heads in council, two beside the hearth,
Two in the tangled business of the world.
Two in the liberal Offices of life:
Two plummets dropped to sound the abyss OF
science
And the secrets of the mind
Poets are prophets, and the greatest
poet of our time has set the goal before
US only to be gained
'sWhen reign the worlds great bridals,
Chaste and calm"
One-half the world for the wife-an
undivided half apiece for wife and hus-
band; co-education to mate them on
the plane of mind, equal property
rights to make her Gods own free
woman, not coerced into marriage for
the sake of support. or bond-slave
after she is married, who asks her
master for the price of a paper of pins
and gives him back the change, or. if a
pctted favorite, owing her lease of
purse wholly to his will and never to
her right; free to 60 her honored and
self-respecting way as a maiden per-
petuo rather than marry man whose
deterioration through alcohol and
nicotine habits is a deadly menace to
herself and the descendants that such a
marriage must have invOked-these
are the outlooks of the future that shall
make the marriage system, never a
failure since it became monogamic, an
assured, permanent, paradisaical
success
In that day the wife shall surrender
at marriage no right not equally sur
rendered by the husband-not even her
own name. Emile oliver, that keen
sighted writer of France, says that it is
SO much easier, for obvious reasons, to
trace ancestry along the mothers line.
that historic records have intellectually
suffered by the arbitrary relinquish-
ment of her name. Probably the French
have hit upon the best expedient: the
union of the two. Thus l recall that
in Paris my home was with an accom-
plished lady whose maiden name was
FarjOn and whose husbands was Per-
rot. her visiting-card bearing the in
scription, Madame Byzantine Perrot-
Farjon." The growing custom. in this
country at least, to give the mothers
name to son or daughter indicates
the increasing, though perhaps uncon-
scious, recognition of woman as an
equal partner in the marriage sacra-
ment and compact. But the tendency,
even among men of intelligence, to
sign themselves, John Jones, wife,
child and nurse" as we see it in the
registers of fashiona BILE hotels. is fire.
quent reminder of the pit from which
wives are slowly being digged. The
man who writes "Mr. John and Mrs.
Jane Jones'" may be regarded as we'll
on the road to a successful evolution!
The time will come when the mothers
custody of children will constructively
be preferred in law to that of the father
on the ground that it is surer and more
cOnsOnant with natural laws.

Tho Ayst cargo brought the best price and

always rewarded, % every known aid to

Tho young captain Of one Of Mr.. Astor's
clippers bought, on one Of his trips, . new
chronometer, and with it, aid made quick
passage, and arrived FIRST. He put the
price Of 1t into the expense account Of the
trip but Mr.. Aston threw 1T out, insisting
that such IN item Of expense for new
tangled notions could not be- allowed.
The Captain thereupon resigned and took
service with rival line.
The next year he reached port long in ad-
vance OF any competitor, to tho great de-
light and profit Of his employers, and the
chagrin Of Mr.. Astor.
Not long after they CHANGED to meet, and
Mr.. Astor inquired:
by the way, Captain, how much did that
cnronometer cost youl"
'Six hundred dollars," then, with quiz
zical glance, he asked:
"And how much has it cost you, Mr.. As
tori''
Sixty Thousand dollars" -.
Men are often unfortunate In the Yeiec-
ton Of what they call new tangled notions.
There are sick men who refuse, even
when their physicians tell them they can
not help them, to take Warmers Safe Cure,
because it is "new-fangled" proprietary
medicine. The result is they lose-ife and
health.
Thousands Of other men have been re-
stored to health by it, as the testimonials
furnished to the public show. These testi-
monials can not be doubted. The propri-
etors have q standing offer of S 600 to any
one who will show that any testimonial
published by them is not, SO far as they
know, entirely true.
DR.. Andrew Wilson, Fellow Of the Royal
Society, Of Edinburgh, the editor of

zine, in answer to an inquiry, "Warner's
Safe Cure is Of perfectly safe character,
and perfectly reliable"
The refusal Of q manufacturing firm to
