FAMILY LIFE IN eABYLoN.

1nmpses OF Ancient Customs Given NV tina
Tablets In the British Museum.
Glimpses of family life in ancient
babylonia are given by the Scriptures
from Sennacherib's palace. now in the
British museum. From the tablets II
appears that the family and the laws
concerning 1t were the foundation OF
the social system of Babylonia Take.
as an example, the relation of father to
son. A son could repudiate his father
by the payment Of a certain sum of
money, but not his mother. In the
tablets on family law it is written that
son who wished 20 deny his mother
should have his hair cut off
and be banished from the COM
munity. The law relating to hus-
band and wife was curious. II a
wifev should say to her husband.
Thou art not my husband" which
was the Babylonian way of saving
That she did not want to live with him
any more, then the offending woman
was to be thrown into the river. But
II the husband wanted divorce. it
was comparatively easy matter for
him to obtain it. All he had to do was
10 return to his wife her dowry, ;.any.
and pay her a certain sum of money;
he was then free man, and could
marry again if he felt disposed to do
SO.
The position occupied by women in
Babylonia was very different from
their position in the east at the pres
ent day. The harem did not exist at
all. and the wife was looked upon as
the head of the household. A woman
could buy or sell property independent
OF her husband, could enter into agree
ments or contracts, and could possess
slaves. In Assyria, which was a col
ony from Babylonia, the modern harem
system was in use, and women, on the
whole, occupied a very inferior posi-
ton.
That slavery existed in Babylonia
from the earliest times there is ample
proof, but the power and authority of
the owner or master were limited. A
slave had definite position, and could
not only enter into contracts and
agreements to his own advantage, but
could even buy and sell as well as pos
sess property, and after certain time
could buy his freedom. The slaves,
from some cause or other, seem to have
come upon evil days during the reign
of Nebuchadnezzar, for bout this time
many OF their privileges were with
drawn. and the custom of branding
each slave with the name of his master
came into use. This custom led to all |
sorts OF disputes, which had to be set
tied at law, and large number of
tablets relating to such suits have been
found. Education was COMMON
throughout Babylonia, and schools
of theology and astronomy were found
ed and attached to every temple of i'm.

make the greatest amount OF money ana the

BABY THE FIRST.

The poet may sing
Like q bird on the wing,
And the proser accustom his quill
To q talented strain,
But / mean to maintain
That there's one thing which passes their skill
1t has never been sung
By terrestrial tongue,
1t has never by pen been rehearsed
How ineffably priced
And how much idolized
In the homestead is baby the frstl
Not for Ossas of gold
Upon Pelions rolled,
Not fer pearls to the armament piled,
Not for rubies galore,
Or the great Kohinoor
Would the mother relinquish that child.
She would brave the high fire
OF q DidoCsquc pyre,
She would patiently hunger and thirst
If her sscTiiice brave
Could by eny means save
From ona pa1lg her sweet bal5y the firsti
Oh, that dear little thing
Is the queen or the king
OF the household in which it had birth.
For the mothers strong love
Simply ranks it above
Every creature object cn earth.
Yes, she fondly contrives
To believe that it's "hives"
Is Of earthly diseases the worst,
And its tiniest ache
Will induce her to wake
All the night beside baby the firsti
Babies second and third
Have no reason to ''gird"
At the motherly treatment they get
Babies four, five and six,
They are much indulged chicks.
Each in turn is called ssMa's ickle pet"
But the babes who succeed
Number one would indeed
Pick crow with mamma, if they burst,
Could they guess how much less is
The love she possesses
For them than for baby the first!

Newfoundland.

Not only have her mother and sisters
been unkind, but even the elements of
nature have been spiteful to Newfound-
land. A fog worse than the London veil
continually frowns upon her shores. The
fercest storms of the continent buffet
her. Sinister icebergs hover about her
harbors and threaten her fishing craft
Frequent confagrations make havoc
with her antique, combustible build
ings, making her poverty still more
grinding. Though Newfoundland is big
ger thar ireland and nearly as large as,
all New England, very little Of her ter
ritory is of use to her. The interior is
either marshy or rocky, and the Difficult
ty of building roads through such a
country keeps back agriculture. Untold
mineral riches, however, are believed
to be awaiting development, and her
untouched beds of peat are sufficient to
supply with good fuel many times the
population of the colony.
The cod is the great bulwark of pro-
vincial prosperity. The seal comes next,

dominant that the pedestrian on the
