Parent and Child
Before the Law.

A very interesting paper on the
above topic was given In q number
of Harper's Bazaar. which sets forth
some little known, points of law, re-
lating to the obligations Of father and
mother to q child.
The father Of an infant is bound to
provide him with necessaries, In
GLIDING food, clothing and medical at
tendance. If he does not provide such
necessaries, a stranger who furnishes
them can hold the father liable. The
obligation on the part of the parent
to maintain the child continues until
the latter 10 In condition to provide
for his own maintenance-generally
speaking, as long as he remains a
minor But by the statute law of the
country this obligation only ends with
death in the case Of children who are
blind. lame or physically or morally
Incapable Of providing their own sup
port. =" 1t Is the purpose of the
law not to compel a father to main
tain idle and lazy children In ease
and Incidence. but to provide the
young and inexperienced with the nur-
ture and sustenance to which they are
properly entitled from those who
brought them into the world; this to
continue until they have gained
strength and ability to care for them
selves.
1t Is doubtful to what extent a
mother is bound to support her child.
In general. she would not be bound
to do so during the life of Its father.
Under some statutes an adult son ia
compelled to support his mother. A
father cannot avoid his responsibility
for the support of his child, even
though he may agree with the mother
to do SO; and although wife. bv her
own fault may forfeit her own claim
to support she cannot forfeit that of
the children.
A stepfather Is not bound tn srnrov.t
his stepchfld unless he practicalIr
adopts him by taking the child into
MS family and providing for him

There Is something In that saying of
a medical journal that IL certain
treatment for consumption had turned
out to be the magic cure that was an
ticipated. 1t would have proved a curse
TO the race. The explanation Is that
the causes Of the disease are known
and preventable, and that to dodge the
penalty and permit the causes still to
operate would be to do a degrading
thing, one certain to result in the de-
terioration Of character The moral
way to abolish infectious diseases is to
remove disease-breeding conditions,
and that is also generally the speediest
and safest method. ~.0T

The Esrao,ical Annnr,-

The woman who does Homework
without an apron-indeed, without
plenty Of them-is not a model house
keeper. Much is written about the
snowy apron" in which some pretty
maid is washing dishes, but this is
more fancy than fact. The gingham
or print apron is the real article for
the kitchen. Or large oilcloth apron
may be made to slip loosely over the
head and extend to the bottom of the
dress. 1t may occupy a convenient
hook in the kitchen, and be donned
whenever occasion requires. On wash
or scrub days, or when doing the
dishes, it is always in demand, and
lessons materially the number of
aprons in the weekly laundry.

The channels Of American business
enterprise are too narrow and rapid for

| ambition to succeed and abiding faith
in ones own efforts to reach the goal.
Too many young men enter the field of

string that reaches back to the faith

often succeed. They think too much
of the bridge over which they may re-
cross the stream If they fail, and all
such thoughts weaken effort to win.
The young man who makes a pro-
nounced success Is he who stimulates
himself with the thought that he must
succeed for his own reputati0n's as
well as for his duty's sake, for success
in any vocation in life Is a duty to
the whole community. The wealth or
established business one inherits con.
fers nothing at all, save an opportunity
to employ such inheritance as an open
door for individual effort; and oftener
than otherwise such Inheritance be-
