tho patriarchs. It was tolerated
by the laws of Moses, but the
custom seems to have died out,
for there is no trace of it in the
New Testament. Though it has
long existed, that is uo reason for
its existence. Shall wo say' ot
sin that because it has existed
from Adam to now that it has a
right to bo perpetuated?
Civilized and Christian nations
have, as far as we can tind, al
ways stood for monogamous mar
riage, while heathen countries
have allowed it and practiced it.
What, then, and where are we?
We have a spot on our face and
in our body that does not respond
to tho life How of our ration. It
feeds and nourishes itself and
spreads itself over forbidden ter
ritory, asking no right of way
and paying no damages.
As a social system, polygamy
is a miserable failure, beoau.se it
is founded oa law or retrogres
sion. The chief corner stone be
ing the degradation of women.
"That which degrades woman,
destroys the sacred relation of
the family, and becomes a curse
to children," for the effect upon
tho childroli is highly deloterious.
Where there are groups of chil
dren by different wives, either
the paternal care and authority
is dissipated among so many as
to be of little account, or it is con
centrated on a few to the neglect
of the others. The rivalries and
contentions among the parents is
shared by the children, and ha
tred instead of love is fostered.
Tho bondage under tho polyg
amous condition is worse than
Israel's bondage in Egypt, and in
like manner requires tho hand of
God to extricate them from their
down-trodden condition.
Cunmngcraftiness is also apart
of their inductive method of win
ning converts, or adherents.
They preach that their women
are in true happiness. Of course,
we know to be deluded and down
trodden is certainly the right
path to happiness! If we should
compare the sorrowful condition
of these polygamous women to a
lonely nun in a Catholic convent,
who has given up all hope of ma
ternity, wo would be compelled
to choose tho latter condition as
preferable
The testimony of a few women
will prove vory satisfactorily to
us that they are not happy: The
words of a- wife, whom another
had crowded out, or supplement
ed her from her full love of hus
band. From the day of his sec
ond marriage, she began to be
consumed, at least both physical
ly and mentally, and her friends
said she had the consumption
and was dying from its effects,
buc she said it was only a wasting
heart.
The experience of a young girl,
who was induced from New York
to become a plural wife. She
afterwards said that the happiest
day of her life was the day she
saw her husband laid in the grave.
Again, if the prophet saw fit to
have another wife? he had a right
to compel her divorcement to bo
come concubine to himself.
It is not a matter of choice or
consent on the part of the wives,
out they are coercsd into con
sent and later and later they even
married without tho consent ol
wives at all.
Another young couple from an
eastern state went to Utah. At
the time they had two children
and a happy home. Finally her
husband, after much solicitation
from his brethren, was induced
to practice his religion, as they
called it, and wife forced to con
sent. Wife's testimony was that
by her consent she dug a grave
in which sho was to bury her
happiness and home. ' Then a
third wife comes onto tho scene,
thereby making a hell, or grave,
for the second wife.
A missionary who was preach
ing their religion in England,
through deception, took a wife,
bringing her to his own home in
Utah. She was given a warm re
WAVERLY

Wsrerly Caiolinei three grades mm'
ception to his already-prepared
homo already furnished with a
wife and a number of children.
Though this system is called
"Celestial Marriage," we are con
fident there were no angel spirits
leading the music of that home
just then. For shame the En
glish wlfo would not return to her
home. Sho was forced to infidel
ity, as most Mormon women are,
and to testify of herself, "I am a
miserable apology of a woman."
A man's testimony: ' "My wife
was a porfect angel until I took a
second wife, then she became a
porfect demon.
A wfro being dragged to the
Endowment house, where she
was to give consent and help se
lect another wife for her hus
baud, said to her husband: "I
must lie to you; lie to the Presi
dent, and lie to Uod, for 1 must
say that I consent, and 1 would
rather die a thousand deaths than
to give consent."
Such a system is degenerating
in its nature. It not only degen
erates woman, but man is de
graded to the level of a beast.
And then, too, that it comes un
der the guise of religion makes it
all the more intolerable.
The women are more to be
pitied than censured, but there
is no pity to the men, especially
he who hazards thb vengance of
God in false revelation, making
God responsible for its existence.
Womanly Wisdom.
Always put off till to morrow
what is wrong to be done to day
Heat your knife before cutting
hard soap.
Wet a cloth with a bit of soda
on it and clean up the grease
spots on your kitchen floor.
Jelly from berries picked wet
is almost sure to; mold, and
doesn't jell right. Try to pick
them dry.
Put a few grains of rice in
your salt shakers. They will
break the lumps, gather the
moisture and make the salt come
out freely.
Glue pieces of felt or pieces of
old rubbers to the bottom of
the chair legs, and there will be
no scratched floors and less noise.
An emergency glue may be
made cf rico. I'oil a handful of
rice in water until it is a thick
fine paste. Very good for pasting
white paper.
In making cake with fruit in it,
beef suet and butter, half and
half, is better than all butter. 1
have known lard and beef suet to
give good results.
When a ham or smoked tongue
has been boiled, try plunging it
in cold water as soon as removed
trom the lire; this will make the
skin come off easily and smooth
ly. A handy way to remove pies
and cakes from a hot oven is to
use a common shingle. Cut
away the thick end into the shape
of a handle. Bore a hole in it
and keep the shingle hanging be
hind the stove.
If you have some work to do in
the sun and have no sunbonnet,
take a piece of paper, pin it to
gether behind, run a string over
the top and through a slit at each
side, and tie it under the chin.
It may rattle a good deal but may
save you a headache.
String beans cut with a pair of
sharp scissors, on a slant, in
stead of straight across, will cook
more quickly if one happens to
be pressed for time. This may
seem a notion, but I have tried it
often, and hive found the beans
to cook quicker than when broken
straight across iu the usual way.

f IMPATIENT IDEALISTS.
John Morley wns known a (fenera
tion ago as a brilliant and audacious
sceptic In religion and a radical In
politics. lie has had a strange ex
perience, llecause he had great abil
ity and wide knowledge of men and
things, responsibilities have been
forced upon him, and In spite of him
self he has been drawn Into tho
ranks of the rulers of the nation. He
Is now Viscount Morley and secre
tary of Indian affairs, relates tho
Christian Register. How could such
a man be induced to accept a posi
tion which made him responsible for
what he would have once criticised
from the outside as the tyrannical'
government of an abused people! He
accepted ofllco with the Intention of
administering affairs according to the
principles of absolute Justice. Ho
has done what het,mild, but not all
thnt he hoped to do. Some recent
words of his nro Instructive: "1 hope
that the government of India, so
long as I am connected with it and
responsible for It to Parliament and
to the country, will not be hurried by
the Impatient Idealist. Tlio Impati
ent Idealist you know him, 1 know
him. I like him. I have been one
myself. He says, 'You admit that so
and so Is right; why don't you do it
AVhy don't you do It now?' Whether
he Is an Indian Idealist or a llritlsh
idealist, I sympathize with him. Ah,
gentlemen, how many of the most'
tragic miscarriages In human history
have been due to tho impatience of
the Idealist!"
Freak Treasury Bills.
Despite tho careful scrutiny given
every bill that leaves the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing, a number of
"freak" notes find their way Into cir
culation from time to time. Such a
one was a note that once came to the
Sub-Treasury at New York. It had
the Imprint of a twenty-dollar noto on
one side and of a ten on the other.
Hut Inasmuch as the fare showed the
figure twenty, $20 was tho legal value
of the bill.
In most cases the "freak" bills that
have escaped the vigilance of tho
bureau's olllclals are national bank
jites, which, like tho regular Treas
ury notes, are printed there. As Inti
mated already, the face value Is al
ways recognized when the "freaks"
come to be cashed at any hranch of
the Treasury. The Imprint on the
back has no lawful status whatsoever.
The notes are printed In sheets.
Vsually there will be one twenty and
two tens on a sheet. They are printed
one side? at a time, so it can readily
be, seen that the printer, In turning
over the sheet, might get It upsido
down, and thus put a ten-dollar back
on the twenty-dollar note or a twenty
on the back of one of the tons. Harp

YOU ALWAYS CAN TELL.
Teople on their wedding Journeys
never really conceal the fu. They
may talk and act as Indifferently to
each other as they please, but the un
familiarity of each with the tea and
coffee requirements of the Other will
betray the Becret to the observing,
and tho topics of tho conversation
botweon them will advertise tho
fact to the most oblivious. That Is
tho conclusion reached by a friend
of the OfTlce Window man of the Now
York Mall. "At the hotel table," ho
said, "I caught myself talking to my
bride, within earshot of other peo
ple, of things that no veteran hus
band would discourse to his wlfo, be
cause she would know them already.

stories of my childhood days. Kvery

stories several times, und none but

OPENINGS OF FICTION.
"A careful study of contemporary
fiction, says a writer in tho West
minster Gazette, shows that there'
are six recognized methods of be
ginning a story. These are:
(1.) The modern society opening.
(2.) Tho John Driveller, or testa
mentary, opening.
(3.) Tho local color opening.
(4.) The detective opening.
(.1.) Tlio peaceful country house
opening.
(0.) Tho spirited, or Gadzonks,
opening.
Of tho specimens appended, tho
John Driveller opening comos closest
to thq mark:
I, John Drivollor, of St. Mary Pip
llngton, In tho County of Devon, Yeo
man, being now In my eighty-second
year, would fain make clear, while
yet there Is time, those strango
events which bofoll mo In tho days
when Goorgo was King.
I have llttlo skill in the use of
words, and my hnnds are more ac
customed to the sword than the pen;
but if you would have a plain story
of stirring deeds and of the love of a
lad for a lass ...
And horo my dear wlfo looks over
my shoulder and playfully says sho
must help mo when I come to speak
of those matters matters In which
she played so brave a part . . .
'TIs hard to realize that sixty years
have passed since first we mot It
seems but yesterday, and yet to-day
our grandchildren are swarming liko
bees In tho orchard. Strango, strange!
Ilut to our muttons, as tho French
a curious peoplo say.
Well, you must know I was born
. . . etc.
This kind of opening Is only too
familiar, and yot it is a type which
Is not evil In essonce, but in Its
abiiKo. It would bo easy to think of
half a dozen novels, all good and
some great, which begin In this
fashion.
PHYSIQUE AND HONESTY.
.Dr. G. C. Klson, medical examiner
at the University of Wisconsin, has
evolved a theory as to the relation
between physique and morals which
Is not only humane, but highly sug
gestive. Comparing the measure
ments of 2,0110 students who were
brought before the faculty on charges
of dishonesty with similar measure
ments of 2,0d0 students whose re
cords were clear. Dr. Klson found
that every one of tho accused was
physically deficient In every require
ment of the standard of qtiuliticatlon.
This showing strongly supports
tho contention, advanced by many
physiologists, that certain "moral de
fects should be treated by cranial
surgery, ('uses have been reported
In tho newspapers In which surgical
operations on the cranium were said
to have caused profound and benefi
cent changes In the character and
dsposltlon of the patients. Whether
moral delinquency should always bo
regarded as a condition duo to physi
cal defect Is an open question. Prob
ably the average practitioner would
hardly care to go that far. Hut on
tho principle that a sound body Is
the best assurance of a sound mind,
medical science Is more and more
Inclined to recognize moral deficiency
as the reflex of an unsound physhp'o.
AWAKENING FROM SLEEP.
Persia, like Turkey, is n wakening
from her sleep of centuries, and
aspires to reassume tho position sho
once occupied In the alTalrs of the
greut world. Sho has a constitution
and some other modern Improve
ments, but sho hasn't caught up with
the times enough to provide herself
with a real transportation system.
Horses and donkeys still constitute
the passenger Vnd freight carrying
resources of tho empire which once
dominated the east. SHU, Persia
has one railroad. It is ten miles
long, and runs from Teheran, the
capital, to tho shrine of a defunct
shah. The general manager of this
road hasn't much trouble in llgurlng
his ton-mile costs. Strikes do not dis
turb his slumbers. The finance com
mittee does nut bother itself with
dividend policies or bond Issues, nor
does it He awake nights wondorlng If
rate-regulating bills are going to puss
the Persian parliament. Moody's
Magazine.
YIELDED TO TEMPTATION.
In appealing for leniency for his
client, who had pleaded guilty in the
federal court on a charge of smug
gling, an Ingenious and resourceful
lawyer Is represented as suggesting
that the prisoner at the bar "should
not be considered a smuggler, but
simply a person who had yielded to
the temptation of committing an In
fraction of tho revenue laws." How
ever much the vulgar smuggler may
deserve punishment, there should
evlently be no penalty whatever for
so thoroughly respectable and distin
guished a personage as "an Infractor
of, the revenue laws!" Great are
the resources of our rapacious and
delicately shaded mother tongue.
SINGULAR BLINDNESS.
Several conductors employed by a
Western railroad company have been
dismissed for returning unpunched
tickets to the train agent, with whom
the profit from repeated sales were
divided. With such certainty is that
sort of fraud detected that those who
practice it show a singular blindness
and disregard of self-interest, to say
nothing about the Eighth Command
ment. BURGLAR GOT IT.
Tho Incident reported from Aurora,
111., of tho burglar who, breaking Into
the homo of a citizen, was cornered
by that gentleman's wlfo and lec
tured on tho error of his ways is
not so Inexplicable on second thought
to the New York Tribune, as upon
first consideration. Tlio lady was
doubtless sitting up awaiting tho re
turn of her spouse, and tlio burglar
merely got what the husband hap
pily missed.
