EAST INDIAN FAMILY LIFE.
The Wife Becomes with Her Husband
a Member Of His Parents
Household.

A man does not leave his parents after
marriage to live with his wife, as be
does In this country, but he stays at
home. and the wife becomes a member
OF his family. being treated as a daugh-
ter OF the husbands parents. writes
Swami Abhedananda. in Good House
keeping. The old Jewish law, There
fore shall a man leave his-father and his
mother and shall clsave TO his wife"
Genesis 24). has no place in Hindu
society. II is considered to be ex-
tremely selfish 10 be separated from the
parents for the sake OF wife. Par
ents, indeed. have a greater claim upon
their children in India than in any
part Of the world This joint family
system is a very old institution handed
down through generations. It has great
value in developing humane qualities
like fellow-feeling and sympathy. and
Ia extending the field Of love among all
such relatives as live under one roof.
To-day there are 10 be found families
which consist of nearly 80 members
living together in perfect harmony and
peace; and the moral standard among
them is kept so high that each husband
looks upon every other woman Of the
household as his mother. while every
wife LOOKS upon all other men as her
children. The members Of such house
hold daily perform their respective
duties. The women divide the work Of
housekeeping among themselves, and
take the entire management in their
own hands. following the direction Of
the most elderly lady OF the family.
Whatever they decide becomes the law
In the home. Men attend TO their bust
ness. deal with the outside world, supply
the needs of the family. and at the be-
ginning Of each month give to the wom-
en- Of the family enough money to meet
all the expenses Of the household.

Have THE HOLIDAY DISEASE

MANY KINDS Of veretarians.

The International congress OF the
Vegetarian federal union has just been
held in Lcndon. and it has at least
served to remind us that there are
several distinct kinds OF vegetarians
courting our support. There are. for
instance. the VEINS. so called because
they eat vegetables. eggs and milk.
Then there are the Vegs, or strict
vegetarians. who never on any account
eat animal products Of any kind. Then
there are the Edenics. who exclude all
cooked food; the Wallacites. who alb

ianism: and the Allisonians. who have

Washington society. The woman's
love, however, still went out to the
poor artist and her husband, who had
been informed Of the peculiar state Of
affairs, could do nothing to win his
wife's affection. ALL the gifts that
money could buy were showered upon
her, but to no purpose.
To his horror, one day several
months after their marriage re found
his wife lying dead in a room in their
house, the poor girl having died Of a
broken heart. Although deeply at
tached to his wife, he was struck with
admiration by her devotion to his rival,
and when she was buried in the family
lot in Rock Creek Cemetery, he COM
missioned st. Gaudens, the sculptor, to
make a bronze statue of heroic size
depicting her as she was found. dead
and covered with her hathrobe.
The figure of the woman is seated,
with the bathrobe drawn about her,
and the work is one of great strength.
The bronze is surrounded by marble
beautifully carved. In front Of 1t is a
long marble seat, where one may ad-
mire the work Of art. No name marks
the spot, but at each corner Of the lot
is small marble block, about six
inches square, with the letter "A"
carved in the top. The entire lot is
surrounded by dense growth of pine
trees, so that one not familiar with the
spot looks in vain for the figure.

Character Of England's King.

The character Of King Edward,
while Prince Of Wales, appears TO
have been greatly misunderstood.
Many scandals were laid at his door;
many journalists and prominent writ
ers found themselves unable to resist
temptation Of making him the theme
Of extravagant stories without foun-
dalton, or at best based only upon
hearsay evidence.
While making no pretence to be-
ing a saint, his morals were neither
better nor worse than the majority Of
his countrymen and it was precisely
that fact that endeared him to them.
The great influence that no other
Prince possessed, and which was pos
sessed by him in a superlative degree,
was very largely due to his remarka-
BILE tact.
Thanks more to him than to any
other, hard drinking, CO -ousals, coarse
and profane language went out of
fashion. He would tolerate in the
houses of respectable people no men
and women who had forfeit d their
right to remain within their pale,
and no woman Of questionable ante
cedents could with his sanction con-
sort with ladies or with innocent
girls. Few people had any idea how
well read he was. It was generally
reported that his reading was very
limited, and yet the reverse was true.
No new book Of importance, whether
in German, English or French, appear
ed that failed to receive his attention,
and many such were read and dis
cussed at Marlborough House before
their review appeared in print. Not
q few OF the French authors were &C.
customed to send him their first
copies.
His faults. never grave or serious
simply served to bring out in greater
prominence the many attractive
points Of his character, and since his
accession TO the throne even those
faults have grown less and his viz
tues and ability become brighter and
greater.
