LEGAL STATUS OF THE MOTHER IN-LAW. “I understand that it has been final ly decided by the Supreme Court of this State that the relation which existed between the whale and Jonah was that of landlord and tenant: and there are a number of very respectable authorities who seem satisfied to put Jonah and the mother-in-law on the same footing. With this I cannot agree. While it is true that many a man looks upon his mother-in-law as a sort of Jonah, that ought to be expelled from the bosom of his family and sent elsewhere to lay down the Gospel, still there are import ant differences between the two cases. In the first place, a man’s mother-in law enters his house on her own in vitation, whereas Jonah’s was preced ed by a violent storm, whereas in the case of the mother-in-law the storm usu ally follows. In the third place, Jonah was cast out by the whale after a few days without even the formality of a notice to quit, w'hereas there is not a case on record where a man ever suc cessfully got rid of his mother-in-law. And finally, the son-in-law is not a whale, but a very small fish. Because of the ill-feeling sometime, unfortunate ly, existing between the two, some have thought that she sustained her position in the family by a sort of feu dal tenure, while others have put her down as a tenant-at-will, and this lat ter is possibly correct, it being under stood that the will is her own. But whatever her legal status may be, it is now well settled that the moth er-in-law is one of the ordinary haz zards of the matrimonial enterprise, and therefore an assumed risk.” —Law Student’s Helper.
