TWO WIVES.

One Given by the Church and One by
the State. ......s4s
Italy enjoys at the present moment
the distinction of being the only civ
ilized country in Europe where it is pos
sible to commit bigamy without expos
ing ones self to any danger of punish
ment, says the New York Tribune.
Since the constitution of the Kingdom
in 1870 the authorities have insiSted that
only n civil marriage is legally bind
ing. On the other hand, the church re-
fuses to recognize this form Of mat-i-
monial union rs valid, and requires the
faithful to go through the religious
service, venting its displeasurc Oh these
who seek any civil sanction to their alli-
ance. The government has repeatedly
tried to secure the enactment O. a law
providing for the punishment Of any
priest who should have performed the
religious marriage service without the
latter having been preceded by civil
ceremony. But the vast body Of the
people in Italy are Catholic to the core,
and would not tolerate any measure
which had the appearance OF encroac,.-
ing on the rights of the church. The
result is that to-day large numbers OF
INSCRIPTIONS people take advantage OF
the condition Of affairs to have two
wives, one in the eyes Of the church and
the other IN the eyes Of the civil au-
thorities. And they can do this without
the slightest danger Of being called to
account or OF being punished.

How Nations Have Encroached Upon
One Another's Trade.
The annals of commerce are not en-
tlrely without AL spice of romance
There is q little retrfbutive justice that
savors of the novelist's art IN the way
the spoiler is sometimesspoiled in bust
ness relations. In an article entitled
Made in Japan" the Pail Mall Gazette
shows how nations have encroached
upon one another's business, and
reaped for time a rich harvest; only
to see the same tactics employed by a
rival people, and be forced to stand
aside while the trade slipped from their
hands into the keeping of another ma
ton.
In old times the Dutch, by importing
english clay, made q good profit out of
limitations of Chinese porcelain, and
presently the Dutch product became es-
tablished in the markets of the world
as Delft ware. .....
But the Dutchman was no more Sc
cure in his profitable trade than had
been his predecessor, the Chinaman.
The English potters took to copying the
Dutch patterns, and sold their pottery

Again, however, the spoiler has been
spoiled. Of late the japanese have made
themselves masters of the art of repro
ducing the patterns best. liked in Eng
landl and have begun to encroach on the
domain long monopolized by the Eng

er than the best English ware, and
Japan is providing the markets with
goods which were originally Chinese
