Primoaeniture.

The law OF primogeniture sends
back Its roots to the most ancient
times. Away back In the patriarchal
ages the firstborn son had a supe-
riority over all his brethren and In the
absence Of his father was In every i'm
portant sense the head Of the house.
Upon the death Of the father he be-
came by the unwritten law, which
could not be questioned, the priest and
lord Of the family, and naturally to
him fell the property as we'll as the
honors Of the household. Primogeni-
ture wherever 1t Is found today is the
lingering remnant Of the ancient GUS
tom.
