Capel On French and English
Marriages.

Monsignor Capel in a recent lecture
said: ~ have travelled much, and lived
in many countries. l have lived for
years in France. The French system of
contracting marriage ignores entirely
the wishes and preiudices ofthe girl, ana
regards only the convenience ofthe par
ties. From such q system one natural
ly supposes unhappy unions would
emanate, but on the contrary, / must
bear witness that for the most part the
marriage relation in France is very hap :
by. I saw more happy marriages in
France than In any other country. No
where is love of children so deep and
strong as inFrance. On the other hand,
in England the making of maria e con
tracts is entirely a matter of love. This
love idea is carried to a preposter ols
extent. Nowhere else do
we see dukes and marquises
marrying their SCI wants, ladies marry
ing their coachmen and old m of
three score and ten marrying youths
| scarcely 20. The system ripens ont in
to divorces, until to-day the courts can
not do the work they are called upon 10
do. Think, however. that young women
in marrying should be consulted, but
should not be allowed to exercise their
preferences to the exclusion of reason,
expediency and propriety. Social sur
| ro~undings, family station and religious
convictions should figure largely in the
choice. Yet we see parents who would
| not consider their Is year cid daughter
| competent to form IN opinion On any
| other serious subject, allowing her to
| choose her future life. I think the par.
ent should always insist upon deciding
this matter. No person should marry
out OF his own faith or social station
and here, even, where you boast that al
men are equal, these remarks apply with
equal force, because social station rs al
important here as in England"

Snow ~ u Protection.

t.o.4 the Scientific American,
The numerous experiments which 1t
,y,s necessary to make 70 obtain a pre-,
Use answer in this question were carried
IN last winter in the Jnrdin doS IIanteS.
The aim o fthesc was to ascertain-trst,
n what extent the temperature Of the
oir hoth under bare ground andin sod
dej sol, with0ud without snow also TO as
,nrtsip what depth the temperature OF
The air was able to make It's influence
C,lt In these complicated lnVeStlga-
tions the electric thermometer invented
Inv Rccouerel was employed. Slmuitan-
enus observations were made of the
~tnrneratur Of the air az the height OF
"a Ia feet and IS 2.3 feet, and Of the
soil nj the dcpths of inches. 4 inches,
Sinrhps. l2 inches and % inches, They
p.nre made under soil and bare ground.
ON November 96 a dry frost began,
~wi,i,.i, iasted without interruption till
december ;. At this date the air had
a temperaturD of 7 deg. Fahrenheit,
and q heavy fall Of snow began that COW
cred the ground to the depth OF ten
inches. From the 9th to the 10Th of
December the cold steadily moderated,
NnIl OH kllC IN az - NAAN
18Th and 2Oth it was above - deg.
Variable cold weather followed, and
the snow sank to less than eight inches.
Observations showed that both before
and after the SNOW fell the temperature
O fthe soil, where it was covered with
sod. remained above the freezing point
even on the coolest day. On Nov. 20, at
the 1Cpth of two inches, the tempera-
tire was 40 deg. Fahrenheit, From this
time it sank continuously until Dec. Ii,
when it reached 80 IL deg. Fahrenheit,
but it never Tell below this minimum.
The results were quite different in soil
not covered with grass sod. On Nov,
p, when the dry frost began, tenn
Derature at q depth Of two inches fell
below 81 deg. Fahrenheit; on Nov. % il
stood at Is IA Fahrenheit, and on Dec
., before the snowfall, it wa % deg
Fahrenheit. During he whole time
when its surface was covered with snow
from eight to ten inches deep the tenn
perature never rose above y deg, bu'
only varied, at a depth oftwO inches, be.
tween IS deg. te s. deg. Fahrenheit. II
thus proved that changes III the temperA'
! ture Of the air make themselves felt to a
certain distance in the earth even when
the surface is thiCHly covered with snow
Hence the generally-received opinion
that..a mantle of snow Keeps the earth
warm is in general erroneous. Snow
does not protect the soil and seed at al
from freezing, but only hinders TO a GER
tain degree the too extensive radiation
| Of heat from the soil, and is converted
into water at 81 deg, which sinks int
the earth and somewhat rises its temper'
ature. These experiments also prove
that the best protection for the soil is 6
heavy sod, which does more to raise its
temperature than ever so thick q layer
of snow. The matted roots Of the SOC
form a sort of feltrd covering which not
| on.y excludes the cold in q high degree
but also draws the moisture from The
lower strata towards the surface.

The Columbus Gazette (Rep.) says:
The efforts at harmony which the Stall
warts and Half-Breeds are making in
New York remind us of the snake and
frog mutual swallow. The Stalwart
idea of harmony is to absorb the Half
Breed and the Half-Breed idea of unity
is to amalgamate the Stalwarts. The
snake got the frogs hind legs down his
throat and the frog got the snakes tail
