Jups who have friends within q radius
of half mile must present themselves
or their representatives at their friends

fire to inquire if they can be of any as

turn out at every fire.
The almost deserted streets were
quickly crowded by thousands OF Japs,
each carrying paper lantern. They
came racing down every street and rush
ing in confused mass. Some Of the
paper lanterns were four feet long and as
big as barrel, carried high above the
crowd at the end of bamboo and fol-
lowed by n dozen lanterns half so large,

In winter there are on the average
three fires per day in the large cities. re-

Carpenters are often accused practicing

BOOK pubIi.hIns and Book.eIIIns.

The old comfortable idea about u ST. so
book was that It was made for about IS
cents, sold to jobber for about 81. pass
ed on by him to a retailer for about 81. u
and then. neatly wrapped by itself. with
a pleasant remark about the weather
thrown in. sold to waiting customer for
$3.50. and he took it home under his arm.
Today the same book is made for about
80 cents, but it is sold to the customer
for 80 cents or 81. and it is handled by
the thousand. delivered to the purchaser.
and its sale is only an incident of vast
traffic. More books are sold. Where
5000 copies were a giddy success no one
begins to talk sales now much under
100000. but the percentage Of success is
no bigger, and the original risk ON the
new book is equally big for success or
failure.
The practical result is that more books
have to be sold for the old profit. and the
chance of n publisher getting u good book
is no better. The standard classics"
have to be sold by the carload to make a
profit. There are no stocks which sell
year after year. No one can afford to
carry them. The flag ends of editions are
cleared out as ''remainders." The 81 80
book that makes failure, which was
once decorousy allowed to die out
through the slow sale of 1000 copies
over a decade, is cleared out in 10 or 70
months. and the able book which the re-
viewer assured you was worth buying
and reading at $l.50 stares you in the
face after u year or SO in pile labeled

HOW 1T CAME ABOUT.
English Prohibition of Marriage
with a Deceased Wife's Sister.


with a Deceased Wife's Sister.
This prohibition, which has caused so
much discussion in England, grew out Of
the ancient tribal law forbidding father
to sell more than one daughter to the
same man when the Briton was emerg-
ing from polygamy and when for p
shillings of the present money a man
might dismiss his wife or kill her il she
would not so. AS civil law it was to pro-
tect the living wife and knit tribes closer
together by intermarriuge.
When ecclesiastical law became SUI
preme, q misreading of some Scripture
text was used to put the sister Of mans
wife among the prohibited degrees Of re-
htionshp. This was the act of 1541 80
Henry Wild: "A man may not marry his
deceased wife's sister nor her daughter.
but he may marry his first cousin"
While the marriage laws of 1911 have
been altered and amended and rewritten
until they no more resemble now the laws
of that day than n modern locomotive
resembles chariot of Alexander this one
section has been preser intact and
reads today word for word it did then.
The prohibition is not known today in
any other country. 1t does not apply in
Scotland or Ireand-only in England. 1t
is avoided by any persons wishing to
marry going to Scotland or Ireland or
France or the United Suites, and the
English civil law is that marriage valid
where contracted is valid everywhere.
The lex loci governs except in polyga-
nous countries. The law Of 1541 is a
dead letter in England. except for the re-
ligious who will not disobey their bish-
ops, and it gives rise to no small amount
of scandal and bitter feeling and re-
ligious rancor when Smith marries his
wife's sister in Edinburgh and brings her
back to New York to live as his legal
wife. which she is. The marriage con-
tract depends upon the law Of Scotland
and must be decided by it.-New York
