The Deceased Wife's Sister,

The law against marrying 4 deceased
wifes sister, which caused so much
discussion i'll England, grew out Of
the ancient tribal law forbidding Il IA
ther to sell more than one daughter to
the same man when the Briton was
emerging from polygamy and when
for 81 shillings of the present money
man might dismiss his wife or kill
her if she would not go. AS civil law
it was to protect the living wife and
knit tribes closer together by inter
marriage When ecclesiastical law be
came supreme misreading of some
Scripture text was used TO put the
sister of mans wife among the pro-
hibited degrees of relationship. This
was the act of 1911 32 Henry Wild:
a man may not marry his deceased
Wife's sister or her daughter, but he
may marry his first cousin. London

MULES OF MEXICO.
They Are Even More knowing Than
Our Own Meek Brand.


Everybody knows that all mules
are brainy, but the mules of old Mex
leo have something on other mules for
Il sort of prescience of their own" said
a man who has spent many years in
the neighboring republic. "A Mexican
mule will do just so much work and
not blamed bit more.
"The riding mule, for instance, is
fully aware of the distance, down to a
rod, he is supposed and required to
traverse in the progress of one travel
ing day, and all the sharp sticks or
goads or dynamite ON earth won't get
him to do a bit more than what he
knows to be the correct distance. The
Mexicans have got peculiar saying In
connection with this characteristic of
the Mexican mule You ask Il Mex
lean, for instance, how far it is by
mule back to such and such point.
"'Two days journey if you are not
rushed, but three days If you are in
hurry the Mexican will reply.
Ills meaning is that if you don't
ask more of your mule than you should
ask of him, the mule will be able to
make the trip in two days. But if you
attempt TO drive the brute he'll soldier
on you, and in consequence the jour
ney will take you three days. ."-Ex-

Brittle Lizards.

Some kinds of lizards break in two
when suddenly startled. In the bush
in Australia the traveller often comes
across Il number of these little silyery
reptiles basking on a log or piece of
old bark. AS soon as they perceive
the invader there is a great commotion.
They dart hithcr ana thither so quick
ly that the eye can scarcely follow
their movements The effects of the
shock are evident from the quantity of
wriggling tails lying about which have
been cast off in the hurry, while the
mutilated owners may be seen scurry
ing away to safety still wagging the
stumps that remain.

ODD USES FOR FISH.
One Makes a Good Barometer, Another
Weathercock.

Weathercock.
Fishes have been put to many queer
uses while still alive, but probably the
strangcst was that suggested to the
war department by an inventor. The
propulsion of submarine torpcdoes was
the subject under discussion, and he
proposed that Il shark be imprisoned
In tube at the rear end of the projec-
tile, its movements to be controlled by
the active application of electricity.
In case the shark attempted TO swim
away it was TO be given an electric
shock and in this way kept on its
course until the torpedo had reached
It's target.
Another remarkable use to which
fish has been put is as n barometer.
The leach is very susceptible to atmos-
pheric changes, and when retained in
an aquarium is likely to throw itself
out at the approach of or during any
remarkable change of wind or wealth
er, or if in pond or stream will some
times jump on the bank. 1t has been
kept alive in aquaria as a living ba
rometer from the Supposition that GER
tain movements indicate particular
thangeS that are about to occur in the
weather. In Russia the dead body of

used as a wcathercock. Hung by g

ton whence the wind blows.-Minne-

RAILRoAD RATES.

A case Involving railroad rates was
decided by the Interstate Cotnmerce
board on Nov. 10. AS the question In
volved is of general interest, a brief ac-
count of the controversy is here given,
without any comment
Tie complainant, the Flint & Wall
ing Manufacturing company. shipped a
carload Of tanks, etc, from Kendall
vile, Ind, to Ga.latin, Tenn. The ship
rnent was made via the Grand Rapids
& Indiana railway and the Pittsbu g.
Cincinnati, Chicago G. st. Louis rail-
way to Louisville, and from Louisville
via the Louisville & Nashville railroad
to Gallatin. A freight of &c cents per 100
pounds was charged made up of the
joint rate of the various roads--16 cents
from Kendallville to Louisville and 80
Gents from Louisville 10 Gallatin. rhe
complainant points out that the rate
from Louisville to Nashville, a distance
of ISL miles, is only Is cents, and he
therefore claims that the rate from

RELIGION In THE STATE

e . r. :, 4 . &.
What religion has done for the state
and what 1t always Will do when it is
q living force and not a dead form is
best seen In the influence Of Puritan
ism upon public morals, and we ARE
reminded of this by the anniversary of
the birth of Milton. who became one
OF the most potent exponents Of that
movement.
ina recent article in the Specta-
tor. the author sets forth what Eng
land owes to Milton. He says few real
lie the nature and extent Of the car
nal life Of the mass Of Englishmen I'M
til the Puritan movement had begun
seriously to take hold of their minds.
The Anglo-Saxon was descended from
sensual marauders, whose conversion
to Christianity was largely nominal
given to gorging and drinking, filed
to use the apostolic words, with de-
was necessary that q powerful antidote
to this animalism should be found, and
1t was found in Pulitanism
The beginning Of serious thought is
traced to the LolIards, who became
SO numerous in England that chron-
icler claims that shortly after Wick
liffe's death, every other man belonged
to that sect. Religious earnestness. So
cial reform and intellectual freedom
characterized Lollardism. Persecution
i Il 1, ~,
aristocracy showed themselves unwill-
ing to reform, the common people be-
came all the moro determined to puri-
fy the atmosphere, and under Charles I.
Puritanism was the political palladium
and moral salvation of England.
No doubt there arc those who would
surround the state by a Chinese wall
against every religious influence In
their narrow minds they cannot con-
ccive of the mission of true religion in
tile state. Every time religion Is men
toned they are ;ipprchensive lest there
should be an cncroachment upon the
prerosatiVes of politicians. But their
fears are unfoundcd. The real dan
gers to the state come from unbrdled
immortality, Grass materialism and self
ish lawlessness. Against these evils
the state needs the influence OF a liv-
ing religious force. The nations that
desire to become factors for good in
the world must go back to the old
ideals. They must aim at the building
Of a commonwealth in which neither
mobs under the leadership OF aaitators.
nor tyrants. have any influence, but in
which free men and women live right
eous lives under Just laws.
