THE LOVE OF MOTHER

Occasionally we see manifestations
of disrespect to mothers, and we can
not help but regard the miscreant as
an migrate. The sacrifice of a mother
deserves an esteem for her on the
part of child almost like the honor
and homage due to God.
Who paints a prettier picture of
mother than Washington Irving in the
following: 1.-THE love of mother is
never exhausted; it never changes;
it never tires. A father may turn his
back on his child; brothers and sis
tiers may became inveterate enemies;
husbands may desert their wives,
wives their husbands, but mothers
love endures through ALL in good re-
pute, in bad repute, in the face of the
worlds condemnation, a mother still
loves on, and still hopes that her child
may turn from his evil ways and re-
pent; still she remembers the infant
smiles that once filled her bosom with
such rapture, the merry laugh, the
joyful shout of his childhood, opening
promise of his youth, and she can
never be drought to think him I'M
worthy"

JUDGE ON DIVORCES.

"The divorce situation in Lucasco,
Ohio, is becoming intolerable," Com
mon Pleas Judge Brough said re-
Gently.
More than six hundred divorce
cases are on the docket waiting for
hearing when the new term opens.
Some of these are left-overs from last
term, but most of them have been the
outgrowth of summer frictions.
ut has reached the shameful point
where there is one divorce out of
every four marriages. Three times as
many women as men apply for the
divorces. This may indicate that
more men than women are at fault for
disturbances in the household.
Cruelty, gross neglect, wilful alb
sence and habitual drunkenness are
the commonest grounds for divorce.
"Some marriages today are really
no more than trials. Couples make no
pretense as sane married people
should. They fight the first week, and
in four weeks they are seeking a di-
vorce.
This condition is, of course, due to
hasty marriages."

BLuNDERS BY ARTISTS.

An artist may spend time and tai
ent on picture only to blunder in
small detail.
There is story that one Royal AGA
demician in London gave a hand five
fingers beside the thumb and that an
other painted a live lobster bright
red!
The clever Goodall had been paint
ing number of laborers dragging a
huge stone across the street when a
man of science entered the studio. 81
say, Goodall if you want those fellows
to pull that stone you must double
their number. 1t would require just
twice as many for the task
But it is not contemporary painters
alone who slip up on points of accu-
racy. Even Albrecht Durer, in a
painting representing Peter denying
Christ, had one of the Roman soldiers
in the act of smoking. Turner got a
rainbow beside the sun, and in an
other picture got frightfully tangled
up in the ships rigging.

conditions they would have developed
at any time and in any race. There
have been Shylocks in Christian coun-
tries, driven to vengeance by the in
tolerance of Christian people. No
race is free from types that are rep.
resented in Shylock. Were we to
purge literature and history of every.
thing that is abhorrent to satisfy the
sensibilities of their racial kinsmen,
we would destroy some of the great

ish friends have driven Shylock from
the stage they could logically drive
him from the library. Following their
line of argument we would make a

most magnificent treasures of his.

We do not believe that The Mer.
chant of Venice has ever caused anti
Semitic prejudice. The tragic posi-.
bilities of this play were not known
until long after the time of Shakes
peare. Our Jewish friends have an
exaggerated idea of the effect that
this play produces. The whole story
of Shylock may be summed up in that
he was an old man, maddened under
persecution, driven to desperation by
people who. forgot he was human
being, who conceived the project OF
revenge. He was not a Jew, but a
type of vengeance.

A WONDERFUL BLIND MATTE.
MATICIAN.

''The Lancet quotes from French
journal the account of a marvellous
mathematician, a young man named
Fleury, who is completely blind. 1t
seems that Fleury has consciously de-
veloped his ability, in which he differs
from the usual calculating phenome-
non, who often performs his feats
without having trained for it.
Partly by perseverance with the
Braille method, partly by devising
certain mental tips of his own, he has
reached a stage of extraordinary fac
.ulty in performing elaborate calcula-
lions. Fleury, for example, can give
the square root of any number run
ming into four figures in an average
of four seconds, and the cube root of
any number running into six figures
in six seconds; he gave the cube root
of 34,012,224-324-in eleven seconds,
and the cube root of 465, 49,, 375-7775
i'm thirteen seconds.
These seem mere tribes, however,
compared with the following exam
pies: He was asked how many grains
of corn there would be in any one of
sixty-four boxes, with one in the first,

home, just as Marian was alighting
from the automobile The, two girls

there was marked condescension in
her neighbours manner.
She trundled the wheel to the rear
of the house, esconced it safely in an
angle of the back porch, and went in
doors with little of Ter usual ANNA
ton. Her mother, busy in the kitchen,
looked up with smile that was i'm
mediately submerged by look of an
xiety.

Editha gave little start, flushed
and laughed.

Il know it, mother. But don't you

I'D hate it worse to be so foolish
as to look down on them for such a
reason as you suggest. I'm inclined
to think you are unjust to Marian"

way her eyebrows go up, you wouldn't

That was too self-evident for OBJ
lection, but as Editha went upstairs
to her room she still felt somewhat
aggrieved.
She was delighted when her bi.
cycle came as a birthday gift more
than year before. Editha lived at
quite a distance from school and it
was necessary for her to take two
cars, SO that her daily trip to and
from the high school was rather te
dious and expensive. Thanks to the
bicycle, she was no longer haunted
by the fear Of being late and as
the city which was her home was
situated well to the south, she was
able to rely upon her wheel for most
of the year. It had also enabled he1
to keep in close touch with friends
whom she formerly saw, but rarely

ALAS! POOR sHYLocKl

We cannot sympathise with the at
tempt of our Jewish fellow citizens to
drive The Merchant of Venice from
the stage. Their position that Shy
lock is a reflection on the Jewish race
is not well established. Neither is it
a caricature on the Jew individually,
writes Rev. B. X. O'Reilly.
The outstanding character of The
Merchant of Venice is not so much a
type of Jew as the personification of
human greed. The Bard of Avon fol-
lowed historical facts. He drew a pic
ture of men and conditions of the
period in which The Merchant OF
Venice is placed. Any criticism of
Shylock is criticism of Christian as
we'll as Jew The Jew may well an
swer that if Shylock was a monster
of greed and hate he was made so by
Christian monsters of rapacity who
prosecuted, reviled and robbed the
Jews. The qualities that Shylockf de-
yeloped were not distinctively Jewish
e-they were human. Under similar
