The law which relates to the property
Of married persons is entirely in favor
of the wife. Property Of bride is
never by any chance settled ON a hus-
band, and if he is poor while she is well
off he can only become at most an ad-
miniStratOr of her possessions. After
death the property goes to her children
and blood relatives, unless she has exc
cuted deed in her husbands favor
under the eyes of notary. \ married
woman bears her maiden name, with
the prefix de" Children bear the
names of both parents. After the mar
riage ceremony the husband symbol
ically endows the bride with all his
worldly possessions. 1t is clearly a
case, so far as the wife is concerned,
Of what is yours is mine and what is
mine is my own"

NOT A SINGLE RELIGION
HindOoism a Multiplicity of Sects witt
Only Caste in Com mon.

h1nuOOfSin aMuItlplfctty OF Secto Win
Only Caste in Common.
Hindooism is not single religion.
but a huge encyclopedia of distinct and
Independent worships; it is not n unity
either of thought or custom, but an i'm
mense multiplicity of sects and their
observances, says the Contemporary
Review. 1t may be described as the
amalgam of all the religious ideas and
usages of all the Indian peoples
through all their past. To no two
classes in no two places is it exactly
the same thing. Its one permanent
and distinctive feature is its social
order; where caste is Hindooism is,
where caste is not Hindooism will not
condescend to be. Grant this funda-
mental institution, and it will be toler-
ant beyond the widest Occidental
dream of liberation. 1t spreads not by
the conversion of individuals, but OF
tribes or peoples. Its unit is not the
person. but the family: for the individ-
ual it has no place. with him it can do
nothing. and for him ii does not care:
but the family, or the aggregation of
families which we term caste. is to it
all in all. 1t is more by his fuliiilment
of his domestic duties, his fidelity in
his paternal functions and obligations,
tLan by his ritual conformity that 4
mans orthodoxy is judged.
Hindooism is neither a philosophy
nor partiscular worship, nor n belief,
nor any specific theology, but merely
caste. OF course, caste may carry with
it most of these other things, but not
in any uniform or authoritative shape.
There are various PHILOSOPHERS, but
they are concerns of the school; there
are many worships. but they are af-
fairs of the temple or the shrine; there
are an ininity of beliefs, but they are
conditioned by time and place; there
are multitude of theolOgies, but they
belong to the sect.
The one thing inviOlate and universal
is caste; it fixes the lines within which
man must walk, the customs he must
observe, the social laws he must obey,
the means by which he must earn his

yincible. has lived amid the laws and
divisions of states, keeping the people
one while the kingdoms were multi
tude: it has continued and spread in
the face of linguistic and racial differ
ences and has thriven by means of
the agitatiOns and controversies that
have in Europe created heresies and
schisms But the one thing caste will
not allow to be touched is the family;
its omnipotence lies in its power to
isolate the individual and reduce him
to Il condition of more absolute help
lessness than could ever be experienced
by any solitary in Il teeming world
which has no place for him. and where
he is known of no man. This is a power
which may grow, but which could not
be made; which the conversion of in

define than to change; and which can
be dissolved only by process as grad
ual and as inexorable as the process
which formed it.

Proa. in . Trade Dollar.

A man who came recently to Chicago
from Michigan received trade dollar
in Chicc 20 when he paid his fare to the
collector Of bus line at the Park row
station. 1t was dark when the transac-
ton took place, and the Michigan man
did not discover the character of the
dollar till the next day. when he wanted
to pay his hotel bill. He was indig-
nant.
THAT fellow thought 1 was farm
er," he said II will write to the man
ager of the bus line and tell him to
send that collector to me with an up
tO-date dollar. l am no back number
and neither was the bill gave him."
The more the Michigan man thought
about the matter the more his indigna-
ton grew. He had tried TO pass the
trade dollar at cigar stand earlier in
the day for 80 cents. The clerk re-
fused to accept 1t at any price. Finally
the victim of the bus collector resolved
to foregO letter-writing and to go to
the bus manager in person. On the
way he noticed display of old coins in
n window.
Guess I'll go In and see what the
thing is worth. anyway" the Michi-
gander said to himself. He went into
the store where the coins We're dis
played and threw the trade dollar onto
the counter, asking: "Whatn you give
for it?'
The dealer examined the coin a min
ute and replied: "Pll give You S1.65."
Its a bargain" said the farmer"
and with the SIG jingling in his hand
he went out, saying: Guess l won't
go to see that manager now."-Chicago

There are just two ways 10 get rid of

Tie Republicans had great difficulty
in putting the Porto Rican tariff bill
through the House a few weeks ago.
That difficulty promises to be greatly
increased over the Foraker bill. The
House Republicans have been hearing
from their constituents i'll an unpleas-
ant way, and some fifty of them have
felt impelled thereby to 20 home and
attempt to fix up their fences. Aside
from the increasing reluctance of many
more Republicans TO support the tariff
a second time. il is going to be very
hard work to bring enough of them
back to Washington to vote even If a
majority can be commanded for this
thoroughly unpopular measure.
Squanderiug the Peoples Money.
The books of the treasury show that
there has been received during the past
forty years from bonds and other evil
ecnces of Indebtedness, aside from the
cost of issuing the same, the sum of
S17343. .641, 1873. We have expended
upon these bonds more than we have
received from the bonds, the sum of
S9J1 .664 ,661.l0. We have practically
paid nona of the Indebtedness, al
though we have paid out $1,00O,000,-
900 more than we have received. 1t
would cost us today as much money
to redeem our indebtedness as it would
have cost us in 1866. when our indebt-
edness was at its highest point. We
owe as much as we did then, when the
cost of redeeming the bonds is cOnsid-
cred, and yet we have already paid 90
per cent. more than the entire debt.
1t is very difficult to determine the
cost of issuing bonds and other evi-
dences of Indebtedness, but this was
made the subject of an extended inves-
tigation by Secretary Of the Treasury
Lyman ]. Gage, who states in his last
