"SEEKING A WIFE LIKE MOTHER"
Text: "And Isaac brought her into.
his mother, Sarah's tent, and took
Rebekah, and she ,became his wife,
and he loved her; and Isaac was
comforted after his mother's death."
-Gen. 24:67.
MAAAAAPAA
His mother, Sarah, was dead. His
'Wife Rebekah took her place, occupied
'her house, used her utensils and .con-
'tinued the home. It is the way of
'society; mother goes, wife comes. In
'the universal want column is the
'young :van's advertisement: "Wanted,
a wife like mother?' E almost
'seems like high treason to suggest it;
a sacrilege to think it can be pos-
lsible. A wife like mother? And yet
it must be that your mother was as
good as your father's mother, end iq
in quite poaaible that your son's mother
will be as good a woman as your
mother.
Yet the young. fellow In yon ga111ery

Just now remarking that she does not

bands are not withered like 4ea;
other's hands. Her face is not a

She doesn't converse as mother dens;
her talk is lil'Ee the laaughter of the
brook, and herr topics are not serious
Wait, young :yuan, and give her time:
Give the years a chance! Let the
rains of suremners baptize heir face,;
let the wind of winters roughen hell

soften her voice; let the weeping at

to her songs; let a. wayward laddie'a
'sins dr$ve her to her knees; let the
Throne of Grace give peace to here
,countenance; let the comforting deeds
of sons cheer her up; let the gent14
;hands of daughters soften her pillow,
.and she will be like mother at last.
What did mother have whish yon

MONUMENT TO LIARS
°YAKS OF BORNEQ CELEBRATE
A GOOD!.UNTRUTH,
British Missionary Tells of Aborigines
of East Indian Island -- When a
Man Is Brave They Say That life
Ilas a "Brave Liver" and ''Whon
Ile He Is Wise They Speak of His
"Enlightened Liver."
Some curious information about a
race among whom lying is so rare
that when a really good lie is told a
monument is erected to perpetuate
the memory of its sponsor, is given
by an English missionary in au arti-
cle in "The Mission Field" concern,
ing the Sea. Dyalts of Borneo, The
Dyak, it is stated, has no idea of
clear thinking; logic finds no place
in his brain, and the most contradic-
tory opinions seems to dwell togeth-
er in perfect harmony in the turbid
stream of his mind. His conceptions
of cause and effect are hopelessly
uddled, and anything he cannot ac-
count for he attributes to the action
of unseen spirits. He cannot distin-
guish between coincidence and causa-
tion, and will argue that because his
grandfather died after he had climb-
ed a tree, therefore his death was
caused by his climbing the tree, and
consequently, neither his father nor
himself nor his children are to climb
trees, if they wish to enjoy good
health! The liver is supposed to be
the seat of various qualities and emo-
tions.
Bravery is considered 'the highest
of virtues, and when they wish to de-
scribe tho great courage of a man
they say he has a "brave liver." In-
telligence also resides in the liver,
and a man of knowledge is one pos-
sessing "an enlightened liver." Kind-
ness is the quality of the man who
has a "large liver," and persever-
ance that of one who has a "hard
liver." They have good memories for
such things as interest them, but it
cannot be said that their mental
powers are great. Dyak boys are very
quick in their early years in assimi-
lating new ideas, and for a time maks
rapid progress, but at puberty their
energies seem to be a bsorbed exclu-
sively in bodily functions, nutritive
and sensual, and at the age of pu-
berty the development of 'the brain,
as a general rule, seems to cease.
The natives describe conscience as
the voice of a god (petara) speaking
to them. A man who acts in a dis-
graceful way and is not ashamed of
himself is said to have a "bad spirit"
(petara jai) urging him, and natives
have sometimes been heard to say
that they were not responsible fm
their conduct, as it was the fault of
their petara. The Dyak, the article
states, is truthful and honest, and
these qualities are rather unusual it
Eastern races. In his jungle home
he is remarkably honest. Families
are often away from their homes for
weeks at a time, living in little huts
on their farms, and though no oneee
left in charge of their rooms in the
long village house, thingsare seldom
lost. The writer states that with an
experience of nearly twenty years in
Borneo he knew only of two instanter
of theft. One was the theft of rice.
The woman who lost the rice most
solemnly and publicly cursed the
thief, whoever it might be. The next
n'ght the rice was left at her door.
'^be other was a theft of money. In
this case, too, the thief was cursed.
The greater part of the money -was
afterwards found • returned to the
box from which' it had been abstract-
ed. Both these incidents show the
great dread which the Dyalts have of
a curse, Even an undeserved curse
is considered a terrible thing, and, ac-
cording to Dyak law, to curse a per-
son for no reason at all is a fineable
offence.
The Dyaks are very truthful. So
disgraceful indeed do they consider
the deceiving of others by an un-
truth, that such conduct is handed
down to posterity by a curious cus-
tom. They heap up a pilo of branches
of trees in memory of the man who
has uttered a g Sat lie, so that fu-
ture generations may know of his
wickedness, and take warning from
it. The persons deceived start the
tugong hula—"tire liar's mound"—by
heaping up a large number of
branches in pony) conspicuous spot by
the side of the path leading from one
village to another. Every passer-by
contributes to it, and at the same
time curses the man in memory of
whom it is, The Dyaks consider tho
adding to any tugong bula they may
pass a sacred duty, the omission of
which will meet with supernatural
press-
ed
punishment,
a and
Dye's may be,ohe stops
to throw on the pile some branch or
twig.
Believing, as the Dyaks do, in the
efficacy of curses, it is easy to under-
stand how a Dyak would dread the ace
cumulation of curses tbat would ne-
cessarily ;accompany the formation of
a tugong hula„ The ()yaks are very
hospitable and consider the refusal to
entertain strangers as a greet crime.
In the Sabuyaal River, there 10 a col-
lection of rocks, sp,itl to bo the in-
habitants of a whole village, whc
were guilty of a serious breach of
the law of hospitality and refused to
give food and sheiter to oemerel-
ers, and were punished by the av
by being turned tato stones, The
morals of the Dyaks from an Eastern
point of view are good, and divorce
Is very uncommon after the birth of
a child, but where there aro no chil-
dren, for such reasons as incompata-
bility of temper or idleness divorce
is obtainable by either husband or
wife on payment of a small find.

The Attack On Col. Hughes.
The Liberals who started out with a
fluurish to overwhelm the Minister of
Militia soon abandoned the encounter
as hopeless. Instead of confounding
him they were themselvee brought to
confusion at the outset by his state -•
went that a good deal of the expendi-
ture crises from his having to pay off
debts to the amount of three or four
million dollars contracted by his pre-
decessor, Sir Frederick Borden..
Sir Frederick's former associates
were stunned by this discovery, and
many of them pule no further interest
in the dt late. Moreover, since he tock

ing more men than were ever drilled
before, although at a reduced cost per
ma.n, and in other ways has put new
life into the militia. Everything core
nested wile) the Department hes gone
sip of late—the pay of the soldiers, the
cost of tithe, ammunition, clothing
general supplies, In other days, ton,
the drill halls, such as they were, were
built by local enterprise instead of as
a.ow by the Dominion Government.
For the modern rifle a range with
plenty of space is r>goisite, and the
cost of land is, therefore, a much more
serious item than formerly ; and so
with the big areas, such al that at

manoeuvres.
AN OBJECT IN VII:\',
Colonel Hughes believes that young

strengthened physically, mentally and
morally; and his,aitn is to make the
drill and its surroundings as attractive
as possible, 1;te is not, as some i•iber-
ale allege, seeking to bring about uni-
versal Conscription, but merely to
create a reasonably large and efficient
force for the defence of the country
and the maintenance of internal peace,
The salelof liquor in any form in the

found to interfere with the proper
training of the soldiers..

Colonel Hughes is disarming prejudice
