agine that 1 could so far forget the
necessities Of a mans social nature as to
desire to keep you away from your
favorites after you're once safely mar
ried."
Seductive as the lesson thus adroitly
given might have been under other cir
cumstances, its charm was lost upon
Melvin in his present state of mind.
''Let's get out Of this" he whispered,
hoarsely. "The very steps take hold on
hell ~
al hope we'll often have the pleasure
of your company hereafter" said a vO-
luptuous woman, as she cOquettishly
kissed his hand at parting. ~ hear"
she continued, "that you're to be mar
ried soon, and gentlemen need some
congenial place TO spend theirevenings." "
-isrhat woman's insinuations are a
libel upon marriage" said Melvin to his
father, when they reached the street.
Marriage is necessary, and that's all
that can be said about 1t in its favor"
said the exemplary parent.
"Well, depend upon it, father, I'll
never marry Net 0'Toodlesr'
"What p thunIered the father, pas
sionately. 81 have just been showing
you how you can render married life
agreeable"
"And decline the conditions"
''Then you'll take the consequences,
you young scamp! I'll disinherit
youw
every well, SIR"
"YOu'll leave my roof tomorrow"
"All right"
"But what will you do ?"
"That is my affair, sir One thing ]

bounty of my father, when he denies
me Individual sovereignty aud treats me
as though were nothing but a woman!'

MARRIAGES OF BLOOD RELATIONS
Statistics presented to the French Acad-
emy show that the marriages of blood
relations form about two per cent. of
all the marriages in France, and that the
deaf and dumb offspring, at birth, of
consanguineous marriages, are i'm pro-
portion to the deaf and dumb born in
ordinary wedlock, at Lyons, full twen-
ty-five per cent; at least twenty-five
per cent. in Paris and thirty per cent.
in Bordeaux-the proportions of the
deaf and dumb, by birth, increasing
with the degree of blood relationship.
The data obtained show that, if the
danger of having deaf and dumb child
IN ordinary marriage, represented by
by figures, is one, there will be eight
cen in marriages between first conslnS'
thirty-seven in marriages between uii-
cles and nieees, and seventy IN mar.

appears, too, that the most he3lthy par par

''The oath of May is the Queens birth
day." is an easy and familiar jingle for
the loyal little ones across the water.
Queen Victoria was fifty-five years old
on that day. She was born in Kensing-
ton Palace, May 24, 1919. Her father
was the Duke of Kent, fourth son of
George III. Her uncles all died with
out surviving legitimate issue, and she
ascended the throne OH the 2Sth of June,
1888, when she was but nineteen years
of age. Her reign has been happy one
for herself, and prosperous one for the
British people. a large majority OF the
people of Ireland have, with good rea-
son, complained Of oppression and foul
dealing, but these are the results Of the
form of government under which she
reigns, and are not attributable, as were
most Of the expressions of her ancestors,
to the personal character OF the ruler.
The verdict of history will be very fa-
vOrable to Victoria, not only as Queen,
but as a wife, mothe: and a woman.
The fact that she is to be succeeded by
her scrape-grace son, the Prince of
Wales, is an additional reason for wish
ing her many more years of life and rule.

Women on the School Board Again Before
the Courts.


The right of the people of AIassachu-
setts to choose their own candidates for
Office, and after fairly choosing them to
sustain them in their position, seems TO
be a mOOted question in Boston. 1t seems
rather strange that the place where free
dom first assersed itself against Oppres-
sion, and where tyranny was first en-
phatically resisted, should struggle the
most determinedly and strenuously
against the ameliOration of the condi-
tiOn of woman. Yet so il is. The posi-
ton of Boston relatively to the princi-
pies which first gave it fame and honor,
may be illustrated by an inclined plane,
down which, instead of occupying its
position on the pinnacle of freedom
which it once established, it is constant
ly sliding. She it was who placed upon
her escutcheon the inelfaceable stain of
hunting the fugitive slave. And now
it is Boston again which Tesists the
rights of women-the small concessions
which women have obtained by their
election on the School Board. Massa-
chusetts, in spite of the noble women
who are working with their might in
the face of furious conservatism to OBJ
tain proper recognition of their sex in
government, is nevertheless one of the
most conservative of the States, and the
more so as she sins against light No
State has more light thrown upon it.
No State more obstinately hugs its
idols.
The subject of permitting women to
hold their seats, to which they had
been duly elected, on the School Board,
has again been brought before the
Courts. The matter was once decided
in their favor, but stoutly resisted by
members of the Committee. and is now
carried to the Supreme Court. This
was argued on the 18th of June; the
final decision given leaving the matter
optional with the School Boards them
selves to decide on qualifications for
membership. y more sneaking and
cowardly decision could not have been
rendered. The Judge had neither the
courage to accord them their rights or
to decide against them. They now ap-
peal to the State, and bill has been
engrossed in the House providing that
sex shall not constitute any disqualifi-
cation Tor service on School Commit
tees.-IOledO Journal.

KNOW YOUR CHILDREN.-Hundreds
of men have no time to get acquainted
with their children. They see in gen.
eral way that they are clean and whole
some-loOking; they pay the quarterly
schoOl-bills, and grudge no expense in
the matter of shoes and overcoats. They
dimly remember that they once courted
their wives, and said tender things in
their parlOrs, where the cheerful gas
light shed its glow, or on moonlight
evenings under rustling leaves. The
time for that has quite gone by, and
/ they would seem as bashful as q school

NASHVILLE MARKETS.
UNION AND AMERICAN OFFICE,

NASHVILLE, Sept. -.
During the past few days trade has been
greatly quickened in most of its branches
and we are able to report the state of bust
ness generally very encouraging.
Cotton has dragged along for another
week in5aHably dull and declining. The
course of the New York market has been
exceedingly unfavOrable to the farmer, and,
what is singular, it is not attributable to
speculation so much as the prospect of a
heavy crop. 1t is hoped that the painful
suspense will soon be over, however, and
the staple recover its wanted activity.
The meat market in sympathy with the
West, suffered decline day or two since
the first that has occurred for several
months.
The produce trade has gradually relapsed
into an inert state, dried fruit, which till
lately, exhibited the greatest activity being
now fiat.
The number of cattle received at the
stock yards since this day week, is $50
hogs, 81; sheep, 5O4. There has been an
advance on hogs, but scarcely any change
in cattle and none in sheep.
