Hence there is q higher law by which the
outraged husband and father is made
judge, jury and executioner In the case OF
a willful violstor of the sanctities of domes-
tic purity. Under this higher law the
seducer WAS adjudged, condemned and ex-
eeuted, and Mr.. Deacon was a minister OF
justice.
But, queries some one. the woman
should she escape? Gracious heavenl
can she escape2 Take this very case. Mrs,
Deacon's career is ended. She is dead in
life, and worse than dead.

Shall she dwindle, peak and pine"
Surely. her punishment is the heaviest

were a mercy. Alas and alack, "the way

The only way by which we can win
another for ourselves is by giving our
selves to that other. Hearts are only
bought by hearts; loves flame can only
be kindled by loves flame. The only way
by which one spiritual being can possess
another is when the possessed loves and
yields to the love of the possessor. And
thus Jesus Christ makes US His own by
giving Himself to US for our oWn.-Ale1

AS you 90 over the Tete Noir pass in
the Alps from Montiguy, you reach q
point near the top from which you look
back into the valley of the Rhone. The
prospect is a vision of the land of the
blessed. To one who has seen the sight
heaven is no longer an empty dream

There is in Christian duty that is not to
be seasoned and set off with cheerishness,
which amid thousand outward and in
termitting crosses may yet be well done
in this vale of tears.-John Milton.

Prof. Virchow, the eminent German
pathologist, is an outspoken foe Of OAR
winism. In a recent address before the
Anthropological congress in Vienna, he
said, among other things:
"Since the Darwinian theory OF the
origin of man made its first victorious
mark twenty years ago we have sought for
the intermediate stages which were
supposed TO connect man with the
apes; but the proto-man, the pro-anthro-
pos is not yet discovered. At the start
the prospect was that the course of de-
scent from ape TO man would be recon-
structed at once; but now we cannot even
prove the descent of the separate races
from one another. At this moment We
are able to say that among the peoples of
antiquity no single one was nearer to the
ape than we are. And now l can
affirm that there is not upon earth
one absolutely unknown race Of
men. The least known of all are
the people of the central mountainous
district of the Malay peninsula; but
otherwise we know the people of Terre
del Fuego quite as we'll as we do the
D. - d..
Lapp's bay. We know more of some of
these than we do OF certain European
tribes. / need only mention the Albin-
ans. Every living race is strictly hui
man. No single one has yet been found
that we can designate as Simian or semi.
Simian. Even when In GER
tain ones phenomena appear
which are characteristic OF Rpes-e. e.,
the peculiar ape-like projections of the
skull in certain races-still We cannot on
that account alone say that these men are
ape-like. As regards the lake dwellings,
have been able TO submit to comparative
examination nearly every skull that has
been found. The result has been that We
have certainly not met with opposite
characteristics among various races; but OF
all these there is not one that lies outside
of the boundaries of our present popula-
ton. IL can thus be positively demon
strated that, in the course of 5000 years.
no change of type worthy of mention has
taken place"
The provision of attractive and helpful
resorts for young men and women in our
large centers, to couuteract the debasing
influences so plentifully sprinkled along
the streets, is receiving hopeful attention
nowadays. It's a form of philanthropy
which deserves to succeed, and is a most
encouraging sign OF the times. Prevention
is better than cure-and surer, too.
An Old Fashion Revived.
A fancy has arisen for parting in the
hair. writes Mrs. Mallon in the June
Ladies' Home Journal. Few women can
stand one Just in the center of the head,
for that requires a good forehead, q per-
fectly outlined pair of eyebrows and q
straight nose. However, the hair can be
parted on the top of the head little to
one side, or indeed, ii it is becoming, very
much to one side, and the parting not al
lowed 10 come through the short fringe
which is Just over the forehead, and which
produces a softening effect.
