kaiser at Hubertstock. The empress
follows tomorrow. The Semi-Official an

the emperOr's illness are greatly eXag-

peror will not receive the various dis

is understood, be deputed to represent
the emperor. The foregoing semi-offi-

which is alleged by popular rumor to be
alarming.

Why Stammerers Are Able to sing

Why stammerers Are Able to Sing.
stammering depends on a want OF
harmony between the action OF the
muscles Chiefly abdominaD which ex-
pei air through the larnyx and that Of
the muscles which guard the ori6ce by
which it escapes with that of those
which modulate the sound to the form
OF speech. Over either Of the groups
OF muscles by itself a stammerer may
have as much power as other people,
but he cannot tremendously arrange
their eonjoint action. Nervousness is
a frequent cause OF stammering. It's
possible that the defect in some in
stances may result from malforma
ton OF the parts about the back OF
the mouth. The fact that stammer-
ing people are able to sing their words
better than to speak them has been
usually explained on the supposition
that in singing the CLOTHS is kept open
SO that there is less liability, to spas

Children Need Sleep.

= "a III s 2 :
Children until they are 10 or Is
years old, should have at least 10
hours sleep, II is better; until 18 or
10, nine hours is mono too much,
writes Mrs. Scovil in her valuable de-
partment, Mothers Corner" in the
Ladies Home Journal. In this coun-
try our children inherit nervous tenn
peraments. No hygenic measure
soothes, quiets and strengthens the
nerves like plenty Of sleep. Children
should never be wakened in the morn
ing. Yet the demands Of household
convenience and the claims of school
make it necessary that they should
be out Of bed at a certain hour
usually not later than seven. To
make this possible, and give them
their fair share OF sleep so that they
will be ready to waken of their own
accord, they must be in bed between
8 and 10 according to their ages. If
bedtime is made pleasant to them,
as mother love can make it, with q
story, q little talk over the events OF
the day, with loving words and minis

ENGLAND,ss MARRIAGELAwss

What Is Legal In a Colony Is Not All
loWable In the Imperial Capital.
The present condition of the mar
riage laws in England and the coll
sonies can hardly be regarded as sat-
isfactory. The promoters OF what
is termed reform in the marriage laws
strongly maintain that, as fifteen Of
the most important dependencies g
thecroWn, including India, have deem
ed it expedient to permit marriage
with the sister ola deceased wife, and
that as this reform has received the
approval OF the imperial government,
it is exceedingly undesirable that q
colonist returning to England with
his second wife and family should find
himself in the position of being look
ed upon as illegally married, and that
his children should be regarded as
Legitimate, when the law under which
he married his first wife's sister has
had the sanction Of the sovereign,
without which it could not have been
in existence. The replies made to
these statements are that, in the
opinions of a large number OF people,
the marriage with the deceased wife's
sister is sinful, and not a true mar
riage, and that, if such unions be per-
mitted, the Equalization OF them
would not convert wrong into right.
At the same time, those persons who
hold these opinions acknowledge that
a marriage with a deceased wife's sis
ter contracted in the colonies is per-
fectly legal.
There can be no doubt, according to
the London Queen, that the anomal-
les OF these marriage laws need re-
vision. 1t is absurd to think that in
the one island Of Great Britain two
distinct marriage laws exist at the
present time. Formerly, the mere.
declaration OF a.man, made in public,
that the woman with whom he was
associated was his wife rendered a,
couple legally married in Scotland.
This law was the found alton of what
was formerly called Gretna Green
marriages, when, in the ante-railway!
days, a young couple wishing to be-
married FASTENED in d post-chaise to
the most available place in Scotland:
pursued possibly by the father or
guardian OF the lady in another post
chaise; but if they first reached Gretna
Green, and the man declared the wo-
man to be his wife in the historical
blacksmith's shop where the records
were kept they were then and there
legally married. This absurdity has
been done away with; there are no.
Gretna Green marriages nowadays;
but in this one island we have laws SO.
distinct that it is quite posi- BILE for o.
Scottish peer to sit in the house OF
lords and legislate for the community
at large; while, by the law OF England,
he may be regarded as an illegitimate
child, not the son Of his own father
nor entitled to his own name; in Scot
| land and in some parts of the conti-
nent, as is well known, the celebrations
Of marriage renders legitimate all chill

a correspondent recently observed a,
chipmunk displaying a degree OF in
telligence that seemed to exceed any
thing properly covered by the word
instinct.
Twas visiting farmer and had
gone with him to the middle Of a field:
where he was planting corn. A mis-
chievous horse in the adjoining pas
ture attempted to get some Of the
seed corn, and in reaching over the
fence for that purpose over turned a.
bag of seed.
We hurried to the spot and found
that a chipmunk had already begun
to gather the scattered grains. He
was very busy, and his conduct show
ed that he understood the situation
thoroughly. THE treasure would be
within his reach for a very short time;
so instead OF filling his pouches and
hurrying to- his burrow, he set about
hiding as much as possible Of the corn
within q few yards OF where it had
been spilled. a
A piece Of bark, q chip, or SOD
served as a temporary hiding place..
and in q short time he had
gathered all the grain that the farmer
could not conveniently collect, and
began to transport it to his perma-;
nent granary. / noticed several places
where he had put q mouthful. and
found afterward that he did not over
look any OF them when removing the
spoil to his storehouse.
