Tho Deceased Wifs's Sister.

The law against marrying a deceased
wife's sister, which caused so much
discussion in England, grew out OF
the ancient tribal law forbidding IA
ther to sell more than one daughter to
the same man when the Briton was
emerging from pOlygamy and when
for 81 shilings 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
wifes sister or her daughter, but he
may marry his first cousin."-London
Standard.

They dart hither and thither so quick
ly that the eye can scarcely follow

mutilated owners may be seen scurry-

Here and There.

That was rather a remarkable story
published . few days since of an auto
mobile carrying . somewhat distinguish
cd party which became uncomfortable,
ran over q precipice nearly three hundred
feet high, turned over three times in the
air, and landed bottom up in the branch
% Of tree, holding the passengers safe
ly in the closed top, and no one except
the chauffeur seriously injured. A full
report Of the affair makes it evident that
the above-cited story was inaccurate in
some details. The tree stood, not near
the foot Of the precipice but on its brink.
The automobile hit, not the branches
but the trunk Of the tree. The passen-
gers were not Imprisoned in the top,
but were thrown out when the machine
hit the tree. The car did turn over two
or three times In the air, but 1t was
empty, the passengers having been
thrown out before the car went over the
precipice. With these exceptions the
remarkable story seems to have been
correct.

chairman OF the committee on appropria-

the distinction of leadership in the
