THE MARRIAGE PROBLEM. A WIDE VARIATION OF TYPE SEEN AMONG DIFFERENT RACES.

Human marriage exhibits a wide varia tion of type. The established customs among different ces of men comprise every form of association which can be imagined. This is the basis of an estimate in the Nee Statesman, which goes on into further details.

"There is promiscuity," it says, "which in virtually the negation of marriage: there is polygamy, or the marriage of one a too several women; polyandry,

For

the marriage of ons Fromag to several mon group marriage, or the marriage of several men to several wo- men; exogamy andl edogamy; and finally there is monogamy, traces of which seam to permeate more widely than any other form Each of these types represents the natural instincts of the different races which exhibit them, and we are forcibly impressed by the astonishing variability of human instinct is this sphere. To a evilized European, what cooll be more insufferable than polyandry? Yet we learn that aisong certain mos the system works well and no jealousy is arousel between the husbands of the com man wife."

Sentiments about marriage, it says, spring from pest am shyorgest impul-es of the animal kingdom; upon them depends the surgival of the species. They levik wisps of deep-roote i prejudice which Jerome entangled in the wheels of the logical, magbile, and gravely disturb the calm process of intellectual analysis,

"In some races," says the New Sttlesman, men are prohibited from marrying women i of their own tribee; in other races They are prohibited From marrying any women excepf of their own tribe. In Blgian at the present time divorce by mutual consent permissible, whereas separation "by

INTENSITY OF REGULATION. Intensity of regulation follows intensity of sentiment. In modern civilized countries the life of meu-and far more of wogen -is bound up with regulation. Public opinion divides women into two categories. the married and the unmarried. On the unmarried it imposes permanent and un- swerving abstinence; on the married it prohibits abstinence and enjoins per- mangut and, regalar submission to one c man And public opinion set up pen- abies, both social and economie, for any infraction of its cole. Human nature can- oh msily be forest into such an artificial and cast-iron mouls; disharmony is palert on every side.".

The marriage laws of civilized coun- tring," it says, are founded on the desire to reserve the purest form of monogamy," and also on the wide-spreal opinion that the natural state of man is promiscuity. The falsity of this latter opinion is abu- antly provel by Professor Westermarck, Promiscuity certainly is not, and probably never has been, the natural state of man; and if it were no kwa would avail to sup-

ruse it."

MONOGAMY THE NATURAL STAZE. „, In modern civilization the natural state of man is monoganry, and it is just because monogamous, instincts are so strong and so universal that monogamous laws and customs are". severe. Far some time past anthropologists have been edging away frma the earlier hypothesis of promiscuity us the primitive stale of man back to the opinion offDarwin. We may conclude from what we know of the jealousy of all tale quad- zupela, armed as many of them are with special weapons for batting with their rivals, that promiscuous intercourse in a state of nature is extremely improbable. The most probable view is that man orginally lived in small communities, cach man with a single wife, or, if powerful, with several, whom he jealously guarded against all other mes. True Donegany exists side by side with promiscuity and prostitution. But in all civilized countries promiscuity is a

lark, and seeking always us be hidden. The aupremacy of monogamy can never be in doubt: it needs no bolstering by law, for it is part of our physiological constitution, and can no more be maintained by law, than it could be destroyed by law."

The problems attending on marriage are, in the opinion of tuls English paper, perhaps the most difficult of any with which legislators have to "deal.

They are also perhips the most in- portant of any. It is probable... that Jisharmony must continue to prevail," for the feeling aroused is high and yet it "is heterogeneons. Legislative interference must always be a dangerous and delicate matter. It can only be undertaken wisely, on the basis of full knowledge of the history" of marriage."

A HOME FROM HOME.

A comely of piquant errors was enacted by policemen in the small hours, according to the Paris correspondent of The Times They picked up a nocturnal reveller, and conducted him to an address on an cavelope which the inebriate indicated. The porter admitted hin, merely grunting, "Encore! "Again!"). The men's wife was not sur but reproached the polics for bringian home her husband drunk.

"He might as police

have spent the night at the station!" she remarked. The police bundled him into the room, where he retired to bed. On awaking in the morning the woman was horrified to dis cover that the man was not her husband, but a stranger. She indignantly expoctu- lated with the police, pointing out the compromising situation which would have arisen if her husband had returned. The police reassured her by intimating that her husband had been arrested over-night for being drunk, and was still in the lock- up.--
