The Patriarchal System Still Exists and
Is Rigidly Observed.
The women OF Heligoland are, gener.
ally speaking, small and gacefully form
ed and present remarkable contrast to
their tall and strapping mates. The fe-
male loveliness is unfortunately some
what transient, no doubt owing in large
measure to the inferior fare and rough
work with the nets. No idea Of female
suffrage is ever likely to enter Heligo-
lander's head. His idea of the relation
of the sexes is the old one that the man
is the head of the wife and that
women, take them as you like, are an
inferior order; they are kind and court
eous to their women in all respects, but
there is no doubt who is lord and bread.
winner. The patriarchal system has
scarcely died out. Each lus-
ty, broad-shouldered son, though
he may have passed his
twenty-f1rst birthday. is required togive
all or nearly all his earnings to his IA
ther so long as he. lives in his fathers
house. When he marries and takes up
house for himself then only does the
patria p1otestas come to an end. Heligo-
landers as rule marry young; there
are more women than men, and it is not
difficult to find a mate. Housekeeping
is not an expensive job, and there is
plenty of money to be earned if man
is intelligent and industrious. It may
be some time before the young husband
has boat of his own, for boat costs

widespread attention among scientists
has been raised by Prof Wright, of
Oberlin College, who after extended re-
searches among the lava deposits about

traces of human habitation antecedent
to the period of volcanic disturbance
Exact information as to the extent of
these discoveries has not been made
public, but it is predicted that the proofs
will be accepted as demonstrating the
occupancy of the western coast.by man
many ages earlier than heretofore sup
posed possible. 1t may even shed light
upon the origin Of the Indian.
