ticularly true of history. which consists
not Of material facts alone, but whose
Importance depends upon the meaning
with which these facts are invested.
For a long time the history of Co
lumbus, which is that of the discovery
OF America, was known solely through
Columbus himself, that is to saw.
through the papers which he left. and
which were set forth by his first two
biographers, his son Fernando and Las
Casas. The books which these two
wrote gave us our Columbian tradi-
tipns and served as foundation for our
best works on Columbus. But little by
little it was observed that many facts
advanced from this source were err
roneous. and with time the number of
facts thus contradicted by criticism be-
came SC great that ii was necessary to
revise carefully all that tradition had
to say about the discoverer of America
and his work.

Oddities Of the Human Body.

The two sides of a persons face
are never alike. The eyes are out
of line in two cases out of five, and
one eye is stronger than the other
in seven persons out of ten. The
right ear is also, as a rule, higher
than the left. Only one person in
fifteen has perfect eyes, the largest
percentage of defects prevailing
among fair haired people. The small
est interval of sound can be better
distinguished with one ear than with
both. The nails of two fingers never
grow with the same rapidity, that Of
the middle finger growing the fast
est, while that of the thumb grows
slowest. In ffty-four. cases out of
hundred the left leg is shorter
than the right. The bones Of an av-
erage human male skeleton weigh
twenty pounds, those of woman
are six pounds lighter.

couldn't. The magisterial authority

You see, this is o an easy, simple
problem. Each particular case must
be studied by itself, and decided in the
light of the facts and what seem the
probabilities of the best outcome.
The ideal, undoubtedly, is one hus-
band and n wife, and one home
through all the years. Blessed is that
mar who has had but one wife, the
one image t remember, reaching back
to %girlhood, on through maturity, to
advanced life, the mother of his chill
dren, and the one he will dream of
after she has passed out, If she pre-
cedes him into the shadow. Blessed
Is the wife who has had but n hus-
band. If so be he is one whom she can
love and honor and reverence, remem
bering only him at her side through
all the years, a love unbIoken, and,
If he precedes here, looking forward
TO finding him again.
The home is the foundation of so
ciety, but rotten, unhappy, disinte-
grated homes are not safe and secure
foundations. / believe that these
after careful investigation, should be
removed out of the way. and tneii
places taken by the homes that are
happy, clean, sweet and true.

There exist cases that are utterly

unbea. able. that do not vent tnem-
selves in blows. There are CULTS OF
separation between hearts and mines
and bodies that the husband and the
wife have found they can never
cross. though they may be Invisible
to the outside world.
Now. where for any real cause mar
riage does not exist, and there is no
hope Of its coming into existence, J
for one. fail to see any reason Tor
maintaining that such is UNI cal n
a sham.
II the husband and wife have both
ceased to love each other. and there
are no children, then 1t ought TO pc
simple and easy.
However, let us take another step.
and find out how the matter becomes
complicated. If a man finds out that
he has ceased to love his wife, and
she still loves him, he must remem-
Der this; that years ago when she was
to him a little girl, he entered into a
solemn compact to guard and keep
her happiness and her love; and so
long as her happiness depends upon
him, he is bound by that, before his
own honor and high heaven. And a
similar thing is true if we reverse the
case.
Suppose that there are children, and
the husband and wife have lost their
love for each other. If the children's
welfare would be subserved by their
maintaining a home, then they are
under the highest obligation to main
tain that home.
But there are cases where the con-
ditions of a home have become so In
tolerable that it is better for the
children to be out of it, to be out of
that kind of influence; and the sep
aration should take place and the
children be kept in the guardianship
of the n who can best care for them.
