The Fate of ExnIorers.

In a recently published autobiog-
raphy Of the late Henry NJ. Stanley
the famous African explorer dwells
with much bitterness on the unkind
and even cruel reception given him
by distinguished men Of science on
his return from the Dark Continent.
What was my reward?" he asks, and
continues: "Resolute devotion to q
certain ideal of duty, formed after
much self-exhortation to uprightness
of conduct and righteous dealing with
my fellow-creatures. had terminated
in my being proclaimed to all the
world first as forger and then as
buccaneer, adventurer, a fraud and
an impostor. 1t seemed to reverse
all order and sequence, to reverse all

of his life recurs again and again tc

Ro,tomIess Roswell Lake.

Bottomless lakes are a tradition, as
the greatest depths OF water, salt or
fresh, have some kind of ground for
nation under them. Roswell lake, in
New Mexico, is so small that a stone
can easily be hurled over 1t. yet 1t has
a depth of over 500 feet. The water
looks a deep green. but 1t is so clear
that objects dropped into 1t can be
seen for yards and yards as they go
deeper into the water. 1t is supposed
that this lake and others in the same
chain tap the subterranean waters Of
the Pecos valley, the plains waters
having in the course of time dissolved

How a Moose Eats Grass.

OF all peculiar sights l think that
that of a moose eating grass is the
most extraordinary. The neck is so
short and the legs are SO long that
the animal usually kneels in eating
grass. True, they do not attempt 1t
very often, for grass is by no means
a staple with them, but even a moose
likes a change OF diet. The appear
ance of these huge and awkward crea.
lures in this devotional attitude is not
only interesting but laughable.-St.

To regard the family as wholly or
as fundamentally an economic fact,
as though 1t were a commercial ar
rangement or piece of property to
be bought or bartered, is to enter
the high road to domestic instability
and disruption. Back of all the
economic considerations which have
consolidated the family lie the nor
NAL and permanent instincts of
human love. The family is an ethi-
cal fact not the less than an eco
nomic fact 1t is the object Of the
sweetest sacrifices and the happiest
self-forgetfulness. The family is the
primer in the moral education Of the
race, and the issue which the present
crisis in the history of the family
represents is precisely the issue be-
tween the economic and the moral
aspect of the family. Shall domestic
life be regarded as trade, or shall
1t be regarded as an ideal?-Prof. F
G. Peabody, in "The Approach to the
Social Question"

Queer Meal Before Hanging.

Amid remarkable demonstrations Of
Joy from the natives of the district,
Camille Favre was guillotined at
Saintes, France, recently. The GRIM
inal had been convicted of the MUIR
der of a little six-year-old girl and
his execution gave unbounded delight
to the mothers of the town, who
crowded the windows of the houses
in the square outside the prison, and
uttered cries of satisfaction at the
moment the knife. fell. Favre spent
the last days of his life, like many a
prisoner before him, in making friends
with dumb creatures There were lit.
tie birds which flew In and about the
courtyard of his prison, and the man
who had been guilty of the most bru-
tai of crimes occupied himself in keep
ing sparrows as pets. He caught a
dozen of them, kept them, tanned
them, and began to love them. His
wardens thought that after all there
must be touch of human feeling in
this man. But were they right? He

WOMEN OF PAGAN IRELAND
The Property Rights Of Wives Were
Recognized Before the Advent
of ST. Patrick.

The pagan Irish were fierce and
proud, but at the same time remark
ably just and pure. Those who wish
to verify this statement have only to
look up the old Brehon laws. the leg
islative code that obtained in Erin
long before and long after the advent
of st. Patrick.
These laws with very few excep-
tions we're found good enough to gov
ern the land after the reception OF
Christianity. st. Patrick saw moth
ing to change in them, except the re-
ligious features bearing on the old
Druidic worship. For the rest, he LETT
them as he found them, and they con-
tinued to be the legal guide OF the
Irish nation even down to the seven
teenth century.
Among their most noteworthy fea-
lures are their sense of justice and
fair play and their eminently high re-
gard for the domestic relationship
rights of women. the mutual protec-
tion of husband and wife, the recipro-
cal duties of parents and children,
etc. By way of proof or Illustration,
we give a passage from the Senchus
Nor:
"In the connection of equal prop
erty If with equal land and
cattle and household stuff, and II
their marriage be equally free and
lawful, the wife in this case is called
the wife of equal rank. The contract
made by either party is not lawful
contract without the consent of the
other, except in cases of contracts
tending equally to the welfare of both
Each of the two parties has
the power to give rejection and feast
according to their respective dignity
In case of separation ample pro
vision was always made for the wife:
future If, for instance, her portion
at the time of marriage was equal to
that of her husband she was entitled
to half of the property which they
held at the time of separation. If the
whole property belonged originally t.
the husband she received one-third a
the separation. If it was all her owl
before marriage she took two-thirds
