Marriage Laws.

There could hardly be a more prof
liable undertaking for young man
and young woman who contemplate
matrimony than study of marriage
as historic institution. 1t 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 IL 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 wifes sister act of Eng
land 1t was a 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 a
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
contract. In these countries the civil
ceremony alone makes the marriage
valid The church ceremony alone
does not.

story of shame, perhaps? If so, did
Hampton know about it?
Already daylight rested white and
solemn over the silent valley, and only
a short distance away lay the spot
where the crippled scout had made
his solitary camp. Almost without vo-
lition the young officer turned that
way, crossed the stream by means of
the log, and clambered up the bank.
But it was clear at glance that Muir
ply had deserted the spot Convinced
Of this, Brant retraced his steps to-
ward the camp of his own troop, now
already astir with the duties of early
morning. Just in front of his tent
he encountered his first sergeant.
Watson, he questioned, as the lat
ter saluted and stood at attention,
do you know a man called Silent
Murphy
The scout? Yes, sir; knew him as
long ego as when he was corporal in
your fathers troop. He was reduced
to the ranks for striking an officer"
Brant wheeled in astonishment
Was he ever soldier in the Sew
enth?"
He was that, for two enlistments.
and mighty tough one; but he was
always quick enough for a fight in
field or garrison
Has he shown himself here at the
camp"
NO. sir; didn't know he was any
where around. He and were never
very good friends, sir"
The lieutenant remained silent for
several moments, endeavoring to per
feet some feasible plan
Dispatch an order to the telegraph

any messages there. and if they kisow

When science through the medium
OF Darwin and his co-laborers made
monkeys of us in retrospect we were
startled. That discovery, however,
revolutionary though it was, cannot
be classified as any more wonderful
than are other discoveries now being
made or announced in a low tone of
voice by the discoverer at some meet
Ing OF scientists. Usually he mentions
what he has found out in a casual
way as If he didn't think much Of it
but wanted to get it off his mind 50
that he might return to his laboratory
and put in eight hours or so a day
making more discoveries. If this sort
Of thing keeps on we shall soon know
as much about our internal machinery
and the workings thereof as we now
Know about the stars. In fact, we
shall be as familiar with the alimen.
tary canal as with the canals of Mars.
When a man sets sick he will drag
himself to the repair shop and the
machinist and the electrician will
make him over as if he were an old
boiler. 1t will be a great day about
January 1 next when the inventors
all get together and relate the results
or their experiments for the year.

HAD TO GET STRENGTH FIRST.
Hard Worked Woman Not Ready to
Face Hired Girl Problem.

A Massachusetts man, whose busi-
ness frequently takes him over the
line into Vermont, says that one even
ing he was a guest at a farm house in
that state when he observed that the
wife Of the owner-a poor, wan little
woman-was doing every bit of the
work around the house.
AS he himself put it, she did an

An ordinary Massachusetts horse to
shame and he really felt like a vii
lain sitting there watching her.
Feeling considerable compassion for
the woman, who looked as if ready to
drop from overwork, the visitor
asked:

Surely you are not going to try to pull
through the long winter without a.
hired girl
A sickly smile came to the paIlid
face of the woman. WAL, dunno"
she said. Il don't feel as if l could

CHAPTER XVII.
The Verge of a Quarrel.

Brant'S mind was chaos of con-
flicting emotions, but a single abiding
conv1tion never once left him-he re-
purposed to fight this matter out with
Hampton. Even in that crucial hour,
had any one ventured to suggest that
he was in love with Nadia, he would
merely have laughed, serenely conf
dent that nothing more than gentle
manly interest swayed his conduct.
Nevertheless, he manifested an I'M
reasonable dislike for Hampton. He
had never before felt thus toward this
person; indeed, he had possessed a
strong mans natural admiration for
the others physical power and cool,
determined courage. He now sincere
ly feared Hampton's power over the
innocent mind Of the girl, imagining
his influence to be much stronger
than it really was, and he sought after
some suitable means for overcoming
it. He alone, among those who might
be considered as her true friends,
knew of her secret infatuation, and
upon him, alone, therefore, rested the
burden of her release. 1t was his
heart that drove him into such a de-
cision, although he conceived it then
to be the reasoning of the brain.
And SO she was Nadia ellis, poor
old ellis little girl! He stopped sud-
denly in, the road, striving to realize
the thought He had never dreamed
of such contamination, and it stag
gered him. What was there in COM
mon between that outcast, and this
well-groomeG, frankly spoken young
woman? Yet, whoever she was or had
been, the remembrance of her could
not be conjured out of his brain. He
might look back with repugnance upon
those others, those misty phantoms of
the past, but the vision of his mind,
his Interchangeable divinity of the
vine shadows, would not become OBJ
scured, nor grow less fascinating.
Suddenly there occurred to him a rec
objection of Silent Murphy, and his
strange, unguarded remark. What
could the fellow have meant? Was
there indeed some secret in the life
history of this young girl?-some

Street names spelled out in bright
colors or figures and imbedded in &C.
ment walks are one of the most re-
cent innovations in American city
architecture. The plan has been tried
in Kansas City on all the large boule.
wards. the main idea being not to dis
figure the street and houses by the
usual printed signs that are placed on
the walls of corner houses or fastened
to the lamp posts at the intersections
of the streets. The name of each
boulevard is spelled out in letters
from six to eight inches high, formed
with stones about one-half inch
square laid in the cement sidewalk,
similar to the tile or ceramic mosaic
work which is now so frequently seen
in the vestibules of buildings.

1t has often been argued that it is
no crime to get drunk. Possibly not
under some conditions, but the drunks
referred to here, would not be able to
