possible for an outsider to get ia

dark" it does appear that this pow.
er of life and death is not often ex.
ercised unless in the case OF infants
Now and again, however, instances
occur which prove that this barbar.
Gus right is still claimed and exer.
cised. A man in the Nam Hoi dis.
trict has just put his son to death
in most cruel fashion, and the law
takes no cognizanee of the murder
for surely it cannot be called by any
other name. The boy had been often
reproved for ass ociating with gam.
blers and robbers, and his record was
a bad one. This much may be said
in extennuation of the fathers dia-
bolical act. For a long time the IA.
Their was unable to lay hands on his
son. This he succeeded in doing by
offering a reward to anyone who
could bring him home. During the
day Of his return the father gave no
evidence of his wicked design. This
put the lad off his guard But when
night came the father threw off his
mask, seized his son, bound him hand
and foot, and then proceeded leisure
ly to strangle him.-China Mail.

A law has been passed in Norway
providing that in future any woman
who desires to get married must pre-
sent to the proper authorities a GER
tificate showing that she is skilled in
the arts Of cooking, sewing, knitting
and embroidering There has been
for some time an agitation in Norway
the object of which was to secure the
passage of a law prohibiting those
persons who were in any way physie-
ally defective from marrying and or
daining that marriages should only
be allowed to take place between per-
sons who could show diplomas of
sound health. Many objections, how
ever, were raised against such a law
and as a substitute the edict requir-
ing women to be skilled in the house
hold arts has been passed. The young
men of Norway are jubilant over this
victory. but the young women are
naturally wondering why no certifi-
Gates are TO be required from men
which shall prove that they are able
to support their wives. For this rea-
son they consider the new edict as
unfair, and they add that il would
never have been passed if Ibsen. the
noted dramatist and woman's cham
pion, who is now hopeless invalid,
had been able to protest in his own
vigorous fashion against it.-N. Y.
