the violation of law.

the violation OF law.
1t must be borne in mind that laws
are not made for the enforcement of
abstract justice, but are enacted solely
for the protection of the lives, the we'll
being, the property of the people.
Insanity, so far as its legal bearings
are concerned, should be strictly
defined and limited for if this is not
done many criminals would altogether
escape by bringing forward a plea that
it would be difficult to controvert, and
many others, truly insane from a medi-
cal standpoint, but eminently respon-
sible for their acts, would he cast loose
to perpetrate crimes at their pleasure.
Thus, legal insanity and medical in
sanity are very different things, and
the two standards never are and never
ought to be the same.
i he law establishes an arbitrary and
unscientific line, aud declares that
every act performed on one side of that
line is the act of sane mind, while all
acts done on the other side result from
insane minds. This line may be in
one place to-day aud in an entirely diff
ferent place tomorrow, according to
the " him or caprice of a Legislature.
1t may be established on certain par
allel line in one country and on an en-
tirely different parallel in another
country. In the State of New York,
for instance. it Is drawn at the kuowl-
edge of right and wrong and, perhaps,
all things considered, this is about as
correct a legal line as q due regard for
the safety of society will permit to be
made; but every physician knows that
1t Is absolutely untenable from his
point of view; that it is not a medical
line and that there are thousands of
lunatics insane enough TO believe them
selves to be yeritable julius Caesars,
and yet sufficiently sane to know that n
particular act Is contrary to law, and
to be fully aware OF the nature and
consequences of such act Should they
commit a crime they should undergo
the punishment for that crime.
The idea that a person can be sane
one moment, insane the next, and then
Immediately sane again, is altogether
at variance with science as based upon
experience. People do not become sud
denly insane. Some act of violence
may mark the elimination of their in
sanity, but there is always a more or
less extended period before such cul-
mination during which the individual
has exhibited marked evidences of
mental alteration. Unless there is
this antecedent stage it may he re-
garded as certain that the act alleged
to be that of an insane person is one
perpetrated in the heat of passion or
deliberately with malice, and with such
assumed symptoms of mental derange-
ment as the perpetrator thinks will ex-
cuse him in the eye of the law.

incased in an iron shoe, while their arms
are in constant exercise in the throwing
OF the harpoon. During the winter these
EsquimaX live in long houses made Of
stone and turf. There is only one house
in each settlement, and one house often
contains as many as ten families. These
houses are from twenty-four TO fifty feet
in length, according 10 the number of
families to be accommodated. and from
twelve TO sixteen feet in width. They
are generally built on land sloping to-
ward the sea, and the front, where the
entrance opens for light are, generally
faces the ocean. The oldest man in the
house is regarded rs the chief of
the household, provided he has been a
good hunter, or has son who is skillful
I'm the chase They consider IL their first
duty 10 care for those who live i'm the
same house with them, and especially
their kindred. So long as they live to-
gether i'm the same house, each inmate
has his proper share Of the food and
clothing, so that sort OF communism
exists This communism is Of great
benefit to them, as otherwise they would
be without help in case Of accidents
while hunting. These EsquimauX are
subject TO no determined law, but their
social life Is based upon rules To which
they tactly give legal character, and
the transgression of which at least eX-
poses them 10 the reprobation Of their
comrades. in some respects their rules
impose upon them as great restraints as
are imposed by the laws of civilized So
ciety. The average population of each
house is thirty-two persons. The build
ing is partly under ground, and tho walls
arc very thick. The space within is di-
vided into compartments, something like
the stalls in a stable. one family occupy
ing each stall la the spring time the
Esquimaux leave their turf and stone

But, strange 10 say, marriage i not re-
garded as a family tie. The slightest tie
of kindness is an enduring bond, but the
wife is treated as MISTRESS or servant,
from whom the man may separate when
ever he pleases. When the wife becomes
mother, however, her position is more
assured. The husband Is always the
head of the family, and after him come
the sons, even if they are quite small,
because they are regarded as tho future
Of the family, who are To provide for
their parents in old age. As long as the
parents live, therefore, the sons dwell
with them and contribute 90 their sup
port. East Greenlanders often marry be-
fore they reach an adultage, If they are in
condition 20 support a woman. No one
is permitted TO marry any relation that
is as near as Il cousin. Skillful hunters
frequently have two wives. This is not
often against the wish of the first wife,
who, in many cases, when she is unable
TO prepare all the skins her husband
takes, demands that he shall take an
other wife. Sometimes man takes two
wives in order that he may have two
rowers TO his boat. But Captain Holm
saw no instance i'm which man had
moro than two wives. The Esqpimaux
family lives entirely on meat, and they
have no regular meals nor meal hours,

there Is very little true affection among
the EsquimauX, and even mothers love
is an uncertain quantity. She never
fOndles nor pets them, and when they
are ailing she neglects them Just as q
brute does. As soon as they are able 20
sit alone they are put upon the fur-cov-
cred floor 10 take care Of themselves,
and there they sit day after day, if the
expression may be allowed concerning
that latitude, muilied i'm their little seal
skin jackets, the fur side turned in, with
their little arms hugging their bodies TO
keep warm. As they spend their lives
in this constrained position their arms
become bent and deformed. AR the
women have the upper arm short and
crippled, but the boys. who live more
out Of doors. escape the deformity.
The EsquimauX women have very in
dolent as well as very chilly time of
it. There is no sweeping, busting, cook
Ing or washing TO do. The bill of fare
consists entirely OF whale blubber, bear
meat and fish, and these articles are
eaten raw and frozen. The furniture
of an Esquimau's house is. as might
be expected, very simple. The walls,
floor and seats OF the hut are all of snow.
There is n rug OF furs on the floor, cush-
ions Of fur on the seats and hangings of
fur around the walls. The furs are
sewed with fish bones for needles and
reindeer sinews for thread. There are
few rude implements, all made Of bone.
All working tools and hunting imple-
ments are made Of tho same material
The flesh OF the reindeer, which is the
sole article OF food i'm Lapland. cannot be
eaten In Greenland on account OF its
cOarseness. There is no outdoor occupa-
ton for the women, except that once in
a while man will give his wife an air
ing, which she greatly needs, on his sled.
The only bed in the house is large bag
made of fur into which the whole fami-
~ creeps at bedtime and slumber until
they get tired. They 90 TO bed when
they are sleepy and eat when hungry.

made in 1929, Holm's in 1883, and Nor
dcnskioids in 1883. Captain Holm has
only recently returned TO Denmark, and
has made an elaborate and almost heart
rending report concerning Miss Krarer's
countrymen. He lived among them two
years, and took more than one census OF
them They then numbered 54s, of
whom Alb inhabited the fiords around
Angmagsalik. They are much smaller
than Europeans, but larger than other
EsquimauX. One remarkable fact
concerning their physique is noted
by Captain Holm Their arms
are of ordinary length and very
muscular, while their legs are short
slender,sand weak. The cause Of this
physical development is obvious. The
men live by the harpoon. They spend
their lives in diminutivo boats. in which
their legs are as motionless and con-
strained as the foot Of Chinese woman

and every individual. There is neither

height, weighs 40 pounds, and was born
on the east coast Of Greenland. She calls
herself an EsQuimaux, but she is very
unlike the EsquimauX Indians on the
west coast of the island, and belongs
really TO a separate race OF people, which
numbers about 500 souls, and is rapidly
becoming extinct.
The Danish historians say that this
race is the descendants of a Danish colony
founded at AngmagSalik, in 9S6, by Eric
the Red. Miss krarer SAYS that the ira
ditions of her country make its people
the descendants of the Scandinavian
seamen who were wrecked on the coast
from time TO time. and were never able
to escape. But however the colony
may have been planted, the com
pleXion and language of the peo-
pie demonstrate their Caucasian
origin. When tho dirt is scrapad OFF

The women suffrasists don't propose to
give it up yet. They are laying plans
for q raid on the legislature this winter
for the purpose Of having the question
again submitted. Well. it doesn't make
much difference one way or the other.
As long as we are voting It does not cost
anything extra to vote Eyes" or mo" on
the male business in the constitution.
But II the question is once thoroughly
affiliated by the press;the women suffrage
business will be showed under so much
worse than 1t was this year as to make
somebody tired. As = rule, the press Of
the state ~gallantly ~refra.ned. in the re-
cent campaign, from discussing the mat
ter, a very forcible indication that the
greater portion of the newspapers were
opposed to the proposed change in the
constitution. And the press is a pretty
fair mirror Of public sentiment. Incl
dentaliy, II a full vote could be had from
the women alone it Is safe to say that
the majority against women's suffrage
wouit be four to one. Herein lies Its de-
feat. Don't blame the men.
