Con inoportunidad absolute Sc

gado a la Camara baja Ell pro-
yecto de reforma, y mejor diria
mos de desquiciamiento del sis
tema legal y judicial VICENTE,
ideado por ell Attorney General
y conocido, a toda prisa, por el
Consejo Executive.
Es ciertamente sensible y
perjudicial ell apego que de-
muestra a vivir del presupuesto
un gran n1mero de individuos
cuyas aptitudes no encuentran
aplicacion possible fuera del flu
nesto recurso, principal causan-
te de todas las desventuras su-
fridas por los pueblos que han
padecido esta epidemia perni-
ciosa.
Parece que no hay horizontes
abiertos a las energfas indivi-
duales y colectivas mas ALA de

consiguiente, 81 no es en- las of

tes no ha llegado ell proyecto

Podria ocurrir-y este no nos
atrevemos a garautizarlo--que la
desordenada reforma de nuestra
legislacion quedase relegada a
la simple categoria de proyecto,
porque los sefiores delegados

motives para ser prudentes, 81 de
algo les sirven las lecciones de-
la experiencia, no Sc diesen
igual prisa que los consejeros del
Executive, en- la aprobacion del
plan trastornador ldeado por el

THESE MODERN HUSBANDS.
One of Their Own Sex Thinks Them a
Browbeaten Lot.

The author of THE Unspeakable Scot and of
Lovely Women" seems TO be possessed of an in
eradicable grudge against his species. His latest
book proves that he has no better opinion of his
own sex than of the opposite one. unless. indeed.
he means TO hold women responsible, as he prob
ably does. for the miserable creature which ne
considers TO have become.
Are there any good husbands? he asks. "Of
course there are, silly man." pipes Mrs. Barton
Timkins; II thankful TO say that l have one
myself" and she leads forth Barton Timkins on
the chain. In the eyes of modern married woman
hood Barton Timkins is not only good husband,
but a perfect-nay. ideal-husband. He has
money he looks and IS respectable he does he
Is told. he is never out Of temper he loves and
respects and praises his wife, and he respects and
praises her family. Women could desire nothing
more. Such a man is more 10 be preferred than
rubies. and sweeter also than the honeycOmb- His
female children shall rise up and call him blessed
and he shall be a lamp and examplar to the
husbands of all the generations to come.
But. taking everything into consideration. this
critic Of husbands thinks that Mrs. Barton Tim
kins Is badly of with Barton. and would be Just
as happy If she had only Barton's money and a
The fact IS he proceeds. Barton has no more
soul than cup Of tea. He purss all day like
nobody. he commands nobody; and there are better
husbands at the waxworks; In the bosom OF his

pie. The servants call him master but they wink
the other eve when they do IL; for they know that
II Is madam who holds dominion there.
He can do what he likes within limits, but the
limits are well defined and obvious TO every OBJ
servant eye. Thou-shalt-nOts abound for him. SO
do little cares and little worries that have really
nothing TO do with Hence he is never quite
happy at home 1t is his duty TO be there. He
seldom has the moral courage to strike He snaps
and bears II. and goes grayly along his way borne
up by we'll preserved responsibility. Women know
that his life is very little use 10 him. but they are
unconeerned. II is the proper lot OF man. they
say. In point OF fact ii IS not the proper lot OF
man at all. and If man were not by nature, or at
any rate by education. a sprawler and a shverer.

Many women unconsciously affect an incompe-
tence which they do not really possess partly be-
cause they do not feel that il is incumbent upon
them 10 take unnecessary trouble. and partly be-
cause they think II is feminine TO be unable 20
understand practical things. like How few
women, for instance understand the system Of
plumbing in their houses, how TO manage d
furnace or even the range, II the least thing Is
out OF order they are helpless, and do nothing
but send for a mechanic The other day a girls
