Marriage Laws.

marriage eo"Ss
There could hardly be q more prof.
table undertaking for q young man
and young woman who contemplate
matrimony than study Of marriage
al = historic institution. It would
show them better than almost any
thing else could do their relations to
society and to the state, and would
give them a personal understanding
of what the minister means when. in
the beginning of the ceremony, he
says, mot by any to be entered into
unadvisedly or lightly" The laws Of
marriage in all Christian countries,
says the Youths Companion, are de-
rived from the canon law, that is, the
law established by the Christian
church in the middle ages. This law
was based upon the Roman civil law,
Influenced to a considerable degree
by Teutonic ideas. Marriage laws are
also Influenced, and in some countries
controlled, in respect Of marriage
within certain degrees Of relationship
or affinity, by the laws of Moses, con-
tanned in the book of Leviticus. Grad
ually some of these prohibitions have
been relaxed. In the recent case Of
the deceased wife's sister act of Eng
land it was matter of controversy
whether the Mosaic law forbids such
marriages. The purpose of all statute
law, as applied to marriage, is now
and has always been primarily the
protection of the state, and secondar-
lily the safeguarding of the rights Of
the contracting parties. The Roman
Catholic church regards marriage as u
sacrament. The Protestant churches
of western Europe reject this theory,
and in order to lessen or prevent
secret marriages demand that the
consent of parents be obtained. Even
in Roman Catholic countries to-day
marriage is governed by civil legisla-
ton. The civil marriage has been
said, indeed, to be the great innova-
ton Of the nineteenth century. In
most Catholic countries two services
are performed. The religious cere-
mony complies with the theory that
marriage Is a sacrament, the civil
ceremony with the theory that it is a
contract. In these countries the civil
ceremony alone makes the marriage
valid. The church ceremony alone
does not.

Boston Trade School for Girls.


Miss Florence Marshall, the director
OF the Boston trade school for girls,
has just issued the third annual re-
port, which will be found interesting
reading by those who have at heart
the work of women forced to support
themselves. In this school girl of
any race or creed may learn the ele-
ments of trade, such as Dress
making, millinery, straw hat making
and power machine operating for diff
ferent kinds Of factory-made clothing.
The skilled trades eagerly take the
girls who have served the apprentice
ship of the schools. Girls from II e
II, who must leave school to earn a
living, may enter this school,, and eyi-
dently, with such preparation, girls
are much better able to begin tho
work Of life.

Municipal Judge Mckenzie Cleland's Efforts to
redeem the fallen of Chicago. through the parole

Many who never before had entered police

were wives whose homes they said, had been re-
deemed from the curse of drunken husbands and
fathers through Judge Cleland's plan of reforma-
