Madrid. March 1.-The religious ques-

threatens the existence Of the ministry,
which will be subjected at an early
date to a furious attack by the con-

other note to the administration, and
this was expected to reach here yester-

possible all hope OF an agreement. The

II is rumored that the minister OF H.

not approve the bill, and consequent.

AGAIN THE MorHER.IN.LAw.
Under Fire in Several States Where Di-
vorce Proceedings Are On.

AT present the mother in-law is under
fire from many quarters. In various
states divorces are pending where prac.
ticalIy the whole issue Il that the moth
er in-law is at the bottom OF the whole
trouble II is a situation which calls
for calm consideration There has been
too much temperament in the past In
fact, II seems hard to discuss it without
betraviug some emotion Almost every
man and woman has had q mother-in-
law. We do not think that they are
happy who have escaped this dispensa-
ton of providence. but we have much
sympathy for those who. in this pro-
gressive age, have a long string Of them.
No man can achieve distinction in soci-
ETY. without three divorces, and this sim
plv adds to his mothers-in.law by this
number.
II is curious fact that in these days
il is not the man who complains of his
mother in-law. lie has been tanned too
well for that. in the state OF bondage
which husbands now enjoy they dare
not open their mouths on the subject.
Ii is the wives who kick about the
mothers OF their husbands. There all
the dishonor lies II is most astonish-
ing but true that mothers think more
of their sons, as rule, than OF their
daughters.
No mother can believe that her daugh-
ter has amy common or uncommon sense;
that she has any intelligence or ability.
But her devotion to her son, especially
her eldest, is one of the things which
has made countless millions of brides
mourn. Womous mhumanity TO women
has disrupted many a family which had
started out as il It might be a success.
We may admit that the mother-in-law
is a disturbing element, but for the life
of Ms we do not know why. We approve
of the mother-m-law She is an institu-
ton which must be looked upon with
the highest favor. But as they are par
ticularly well able TO care for themselves.
we are not interfering in the fight. We
only desire to call attention TO the fact
that there are as many fathers. m-law as
mothers n-law. but no one ever heard a
complaint against the male variety, This
is TO the credit of the male sex. We do
not make trouble We simply bear u

Whstling for Girls.
Society women, after struggling along

attached to whistling, are learning facts
about the art. DR.. Mcnamara. a famous
physician, insists it is one Of the most
beneficial forms of minor exercise, and
he ridicules the idea OF teaching little
girls that il is ndecorous for women to
whistle Next TO singing says the
doctor nothing strengthens the lungs
and throat like whistling The effect Of
whstHng OH the health Is entirely good,
besides raising the spirits. It improves
the beauty Of the bps, develops eoncen-
tration of mind and is a CHEEKY sound.
Girls and boys should be taught TO whs-
tie scales and octaves., And there is
a still more useful point about whistling,
Tor whistling, for Dr. Mcnamara adds;
You can always stop person sleeping

whistling softly Some kind of mental

Bellingham is our nearest big
neighbor, or rather was our big
neighbor, and as such was the source
of supply of a large percentage of
the wants of the people of these is
lands. Island merchants traded
there, and in some cases island
people traded there when they
should have traded at home. Bell
ing ham was a good place to trade
to buy. 1t was never a good
place to sell for the reason that
Whatcom county farmers have al
ways been able to keep the Belling-
ham markets overstocked. The is
land people are not greatly interest
ed in Bellingham as a selling point,
but it is greatly to our interests in
many ways that Bellingham should
prosper. We would like to have
our neighbors prosper to an extent
that they would be able to recipro-
cate the favors we do them. We
would like to have them spend their
vacation on the islands. We want
them to know, what perhaps they
have overlooked that we have the
finest Fairgrounds in the world with
more attractions, and more to offer
in the way Of rest and recre-
ations than any other region. 1t is
very convenient to Bellingham also.
We want to tell our neighbors that
they are most unneighborly. The
percentage Of visitors from Belling-
ham is now small. Visitors from
Seattle are growing in numbers,
rapidly. 1t is an unnatural con-
dition and one that remains to be
explained.
