high-spirited and inclined to forget the

When Rev. George ID. Heron and
Miss Carrie Rand were married in New
York the other night they uttered spir-
itual beliefs that are dangerous to the
continuity Of our social and moral es-
adjustments, says the Chicago Jour
nal. In the interests of good order and
n higher sense Of responsibility on the
part of civilized humanity, the mar
riage custom has evolved from a sim
pie, savage rite to one that carries a
deep obligation and is interlinked with
n sacramental sOlemnity that makes It
strikingly impressive. There are civil
and religious marriages, but both have
legal sanction. They constitute con
tracts that cannot be easily abrogated.
and the entire thought Of those who
framed Il laws was to throw the
greatest protection around the institu-
ton. Statutes have been enacted that
severely punish the man or woman
who enters the connubial state and
then proves false to the sacred VOWS.
II there We're no restraint, the family
that inhabits the earth would be illegit-
Innate and lawless, disconnected and
shameless-mere tribes hat would
prey upon each other in the most bar
barous manner A positive union of
souls is beautifully sentimental. Dr.
Heron and Miss Rand assert that they
have discovered between themselves 81
love that is abiding and harmonious. a
love that Is so strong and everlasting
that no words of priest or prelate are
needed to cement 1t, and that all they
should be coerced into doing is max
ing an announcement Of the fact. The
law of the land, prescribing certain
formalities they declare pestlferous
and unnecessary, and begrudgingly
comply with 1t. Prof. Heron must
have performed a few mental gym
nastics since he led his first wife to
the altar. He gave her his love. and
two children were born to them be-
fore he deserted her for Miss Rand
II his soul-merging system is infallible
why did he transfer his affections?
Would he advise every man to leave
wife as Don as he ascertained
that the original physical love was
not capable Of being ripened into the
spiritual love? Would he urge
a practice requiring nothing more
obligatory than Il take this woman
to be my companion" or II take this
man TO be my ~companion?" Simpli-
hed his teaching amounts to nothing
more. 1t panders to the vicious IN
stincts Of the brute In man and If In
vogue would bring innumerable i'm
moralities In its train. Society is we'll
founded. IL must adhere to the an.
and honorable customs which
bullded It up, and Prof. Heron

spectability.

No doubt 1t is a mere coincidence,
and yet some people might suppose
that the President had a superstitious
preference for monosyllables in choos-
Ing members Of his cabinet. There have
been in all fifteen heads Of the eight
departments. Look at this array OF
names; Day, Hay, Gage, Long, Root.
Knox, Bliss, Smith and Griggs. Then
there were Gary and Alger, whose
names were short, but not monosylla-
bic. seyenty-six letters suffice for the
urname Of all the fifteen cabinet Off

The tendency to bring producer and

dlemen has manifested itself in an ar-
rangement whereby the sale Of cotton
and wool win be put in the bands Of
organizations formed of cotton and
wool growers. This movement has not
attracted much attention because the

"Packine on or Midnwsn

A pastime which obtains among the
farm classes Of Corea, known as the
packing of Of widows" consists of a
raid by some disconsolate widower and
his friends on some village known to
contain a young widow, the forcible
abduction of the lady in question and
her marriage to the widower. An in.
stance of this kind has recently come
to our notice. A widower living in
n of the villages of Kangwha with
eleven friends went to a hamlet close
to the walls Of Kangwha City, where
a widow lived and seized and carried

lady. 1t so happened. however. that

tents had been completely demolished
she was escorted home in triumph bv
