Too Young ana foors
II common idea that the best
time to marry is when one wants to and
s s.,,,I convepientlv and comfortably. But
thare are some people who have more or
lass prudence about marrying, and some
have so much that they never marry. A
wr;tor in the Ho&p5tot who dare not say
wba.bar he is married or not, attempts
to tell women when they should marry.
He addressc, himself to what he calls
the average civilized woman. and he adj
vises her to marry at any age between
twentv-four and thirty-six. 1t is not
said that no woman shall marry earlier
or later than either of these ages. but
youth and health and vigor are ordina-
lily at their highest perfection between
these two periods. Very early mar
riages are seldom desirable for girls, and
that for many reasons. The brain IS
immature, the reason is feeble, and the
character is Uniformed. The considera-
tons which would prompt girl to
marry at seventeen would, in many
many cases, have very little weight with
her at twenty-four. At seventeen she
is a child, at twenty-four woman.
When girl has intelligent parents, the
seven years between seventeen and
twenty-four are the period when both
mind and body are most amenable to
wise discipline. and best repay the
thought and toll devoted to their de-
velopment. Before seventeen but few
girls have learned to understand what
life is, what discipline is, what duty is.
They cannot value what is best, either
in the fathers wisdom or in the moth
er's tenderness. When married at that
childish period they are like young
recruits taken fresh from the farm and
workshop and carried off to a long cam
paign without any preliminary drill
and training; or like schoolboy re-
moved from school to a cllracy with
out being sent to the university or to a
theological hall. Who can help griev-
ing over childwife, especially If she
have children, and a husband who is an
inexperienced and possibly exacting
BOWMAN? The arlor of his love soon
cools. The visionary bliss of his poet
ical Imagination vanishes like sum
mer mist, there is nothing left but dis
'i''oliltlueHt tllu wonder lnal what
promised to be so beautiful and long a
day should have clouded over almost be-
fore sunrise
This seems to be sensible. It could
be wished that it had appeared in some
other place than the Hospital, but we
must take things as we find them. We
commend it to those civilized women
who have reached the age of twenty
four and are not yet married, also to
those who are thirty-six and are still
single

HE testimony Of John Bright to
American poetry and poets is eminent
ly worth repeating. He averred that
he owed his quicl1ness of imagination
to habit he had long pursued of read
ing little poetry before going to bed.
No matter what the hour OF What he
had been doing through the day, he
took his morphine powder of poetry.
1t had in his case sedative and genial
influence tending to sleep The ano-
dyne is possibly not new discovery:
but no public man has ever before an
nounced his use of it. MI. Bright
added that he always selected Ameri.
can poets-as more clear, ineligible,
and unconventional. Whittier, Long
fellow, and Lowell he classed as ALWAYS
clear as running brook, as bright az
sunshine and refreshing as breezes,
while the English poets aim at subtle,
ties. This criticism will undoubtedly
stand as the decision Of history.

AN English journal puts the liquor
problem in this form: Twenty-Five
snakes running through the streets
that's free whisky. Twenty-Five snakes
gathered into box in which twenty
five holes are made by authority of
the court-that is low license. Ten of
the holes are closed and the snakes all
get through the other fifteen-that is
high license. Drive all the snakes
over to the next village-that is local
option. Kill all the snakes-that is
prohibition.

Millions of people regard the Bible
as the most valuable book in the world
aside from its mechanical makeup and
appearance. But in a commercial
sense Hebrew Bible at the Vatican
in Rome is said to be the most valua..
BILE book in the world. In 1912 Popei
Julius, then in great financial straits,
refused to sell it to a syndicate of rich
Venetian Jews for It's weight in gold.
The Bible weighs more than 325
pounds, and is never carried by less
than three men. The price refused by
Pope Julius was, therefore, about
sl25,O0o, and that, too, when gold was
worth at least thrice what it is now
worth.

AFTER Mind Reader Bishop died his
mother and the wife whom he had late

his effects, and the question as to their
respective rights is still unsettled by
the courts. Just at this juncture, wife
No. !. from whom he had procured a
divorce, appears and produces will
which was made in London, in due
form, before their marriage, and which
leaves everything to her. She is in
structed by her lawyers that subse-

claims. It need not take mind-reader
