established at Berne, recently died, and
having no heirs, bequeathed a consider
able fortune and a quantity of land to
the emperor The kaiser becomes the
proprietor of the Iffigen Alp, which is
situated between the Weisshorn and
Wildhorn; the Niessen Horn, and the
beautiful waterfall of Iffigen, situated
in the canton of Berne. To give an

which his majesty inherits, it is said
that it takes five hours hard walking

HOUSE Bill t5l.

A bin has been introduced In the Leg
islature as House Bil l54, which at first
glance seems to be fair and right, but
on close investigation appears OF
doubtful advantage 1t provides that In
case Of The separation Of husband and
wife having minor children, the mother
lg TO be entitled to their care, control
and custody hut when such children.
OF sound mind. have reached the age OF
twelve years, they shall have the priv
loge Of selecting the parent TO whom
they desire to be attached.
Ordinarily this would seem to be
proper Usually the mother Is better
qualified than any one else to take
care and have control Of her little ones,
az least until they are old enough to
make choice as to- their future. The
father. no matter how affeotionate and
worthy generally speaking Is not so
wen adapted to such duties as are in
volyed In the care Of little children. SO
the mother would appear to be the
proper custodian. if-there Is a big If
she IL morally and In other respects
worthy Of that sacred charge,
The law as II now stands vests au-
thorlty in the court In cases Of d.
yoroe, to order the disposition Of the
minor children up to the age OF ten
years. But this bin does not affect d.
vorce cases II relates TO cases Of sep
aratlon OF the husband ana wife, The
law, however. In relation to separate
maintenance. places the power also In
the court to determine which OF the par
ents shall have the custody Of the
minor children.
It appears to US that this is the safer
plan There are cases in which the
mother. undoubtedly should have the
custody Of the young children There
are others, only occasionally We admit.
In which the mother Is totally unfit for
the task. and II would be wrong to
the children and TO society to place
them under her influence and control
We believe the court viii exercise the
proper discretion under such clrcum-
stances, and that II would be better to
leave the decision TO a court than to
fix the law so that the mother how
ever unworthy. could claim the Gus
tody Of TIE little ones who ghould be
brought up under proper auspices The
father II made their custodian could,
when necessary obtain such aid as
only woman can render In the care
of his small children LETT under his par
entail protection We cannot consclen.
tlously endorse the proposed measure,
