any business to meddle in any such
matters at all, may better step in and
pull them apart. Children born in such
an inharmonious home must inevitably
come into the world badly balanced,
mentally, if not thoroughly diseased,
physically. This is the one view which
the stricklers for stringent divorce laws
seem to entirely ignore. e. the effects
of inharmonious homes upon the chill
dren born within them. Better one or
two children already born, should be
turned out upon the world to take their
chances, than to have two or three, or
half dozen more, conceived and
cradled under such vitiating influences.
We have before said, and we repeat it
now. that il is creditable to the human
family, rather than otherwise, that
there must be complete adaptation in
marriage When two can live together
simply because one is a man and the
other woman. it indicates a degree of
animalism which is to be lamented,
rather than approved. The question is
big one. and is destined undoubtedly
to come in for large share of the at
tention of pietists, scientists and hu
manitarians.

Nervousness.
.nr and ScIentiflc Prs


In very interesting pamphlet by the
late DR.. Beard. published inst before his
death. he throws considerable doubt
upon the generally accepted theory of
the increase OF American nervousness
He claims that his researches upon this
subject have formed the foundation of a
large and increasing literature in Eng
land and Germany. He argues that far
from nervousness being a destructive
agent in American life. Americans of the
in-workino class live longer than
Europeans. He further argues that the
nervons temperament is antagonistic TO
fatal. acute and inflammatory disease.
and favorable to long life: that most an
moving nervous diseases do not rapidly
DESTROY life. and are consistent with
great longevity; that nervousness pro-
tectS the system against the febrile dis
eases that are so rapidly fatal to the
sangtiinc and phlegmatic. In the con-
fiict with fevers and inflammations.
strength is often weakness and weak
ness becomes strength We are saved
through debility. AN these facts should
afford considerable comfort to those who
think that nervousness is wearing their
lives away. Negroes are seldom ner-
vous. and vet their mortality through
acute diseases is far greater than that of
the whites.
Nevertheless. il is well to bear in
mind that if we order our lives rs we
may-live more naturally and whole
somely-wc may avoid much of the
nervousness so prevalent. and thus live
longer and happier still.

The story is about Gabc Bouck. the

terms. He only distinguished himself
in congress by voting No" so loud
that he could be heard in Alexandria,

An ingenious swindle, and one which

been practiced on unsuspccting trades

He did not alight, but called loudly for

Then the genteel man, in hurried
and br.athless way. explained that he
was the son of n wcll-known coal-deal-
er. with whom the druggist was on very
intimat" terms. The lady in the car
riage was his wife. and they were on
their way 10 an entertainment. when he
suddenly discoycred he WAS without u
cent of money. Would the druggist
kindly loan him $40. as he was in too
great a hurry to go all the way back
home for some. OF course the drug
store man would. The boldncss of the
request and the appearance of the young
man Were sufficient. and the druggist
went into the store and took $40 from

ami handed the Young man the money.
After few hurried thanks the vch-
Gle was driven rapidly of. II stopped

TWO GUINEAS AND FOUR MEN.
A Scene of Unusual Interest Ocean
Steamer.

"A scene OF unusual Interest On an ocean
Steamer.
New York World.
Four gentlemen were seated at table
in the smoking-room of the steamer
Alaska of the Guion Line on her recent
remarkable trip across. The sea was
running heavy, and the smoking-room
steward found it delicate matter to
place a glass and bottle before each of
the four gentlemen and to uncork the
Complementary ginger ale otherwise
than on his head. The conversation
turned on the extraordinary speed the
steamer was making, and led to 4 bet.
In ..coverino' the wager of a sovereign
upon trivial matter one of the four
gentlemen took from his purse guinea
Of the reign of William and Mary.
There are only two of them in eX-
istencc." he said proudly. land this
piece is worth a hundred times its face
value. Had the other the collection
of two would be simply invaluable to
numismatists.'
He laid it on the table as he spoke.
but il a moment after the coin had dis
appeared. Nobody saw it fall or glide
off the table. Nobody saw ANYBODY
else take it. Its owner searched high
and low; his three companions and the
steward helped him. No other persons
Were in the compartment, and Yet the
coin could not be found.
These four men had been strangers
to each other when the voyage began.
They had been five days ont and were
rapidly nearing port. The owner of
the valuable coin was inconSolablP. suS-

All agreed but one gentleman who
had hitherto said nothing. He positive
" refused to suffer such an indignity.
When il was suggested to him that
where all others agreed no single per-
son ought to object. he simply declined.
made his bow. took his drink alone
and left for his statcroom.
The good ship Alaska plowed on to
her sixth day. and just after her com
pleting il Fire Island was sighted. The
gentleman who had refused to be
searched had been kept in coventry:
the three others who had sat at the ia
BILE with him unanimously suspected
him.
Bu, just as the pilot came aboard the
Alaska the gentleman who has lost the
gninca found it sticking in the sole of
his boot. where il had been wedged
ever since he had first displayed it. He
was ovcrioyed at his discovery. and
anxious to make amends for his unius,
>u>piciuns.
But said he 70 the gentleman who
had refused to he searched. .whv on
earth did YOU not agree rs We all did to
such simple test? That would have

NO, it wouldn't, answered the
other.
