parents of illegitimate children and no shame
follows children born out of wedlock
The conditions are these-the Mexican govern
ment looks upon marriage a purely civil con-
tract and, for reasons deemed sufficient, de-
clnes to recognize binding any ceremony
performed by others than duly authorized off,
Gals. The Church teaches her people, on the
other hand, that marriage is a religious union
and can be contaminated only by priest of the
Church, that the civil marriage alone is not
binding and entails no moral obligation The
priest charges six pesos or more to perform the
ceremony, the government six and as twelve
pesos is an amount that most poems never in
their life possess at any time and as neither
form of marriage is in itself considered sufi-
cient, the majority do not get married at all
but the men and women simply go and live TO-
sether. This condition blots out any sense Of
moral obligation, and the result is Inevitable

RELICS OF ANCIENT MERGE
EXHIBITED IN LONDON
Explorations in the Ethiopian City

LONDON, July 16, 1910
One of the most interesting exhibitions
at present in London is that of the re-
suits OF the labors of Prof. Sayce, who
last year uncovered a portion of the site

past it, and the great land route across
the mountains of Abyssinia ran through

were crowned in its temple. pyramids
rose beside it, At one time it supported
100000 soldiers and 1000 artisans, a cir
cumstance in itself sufficient to doom a
community.
The mission that Nero sent to explore
the sources of the Nile reported that il
had fallen into decay, and there were
few houses remaining round it's public
buildings. Tides of other civilizations
Tapped 1t about. Greeks and Romans
came and left their traces. The 'Iliad"

The kings household staff takes office
on the distinct understanding that the
death of the monarch automatically va
Gates each post, or. rather. that each
koder of post retires within six months
unless reappOinted. The arrangement is
merely formal in a majority of cases,
but the interval is a somewhat trying one
for all concerned. Obviously, some of the
mer,bers Of the staff must go to make
room. for the new monarch's men, and
each CT the staff who is under notice is
anxious to know how the change AFFECTS
him personally. In some cases reappoint-

this is largely formal and intended as an
arrangement to bridge over the period be-
