We often hear a man or woman whose
love affairs are under discussion remark,
"That is matter which is entirely the
business Of myself andthe party concerned.
No one else need take no interest in it."
Now this is the most absurdly untruth-
full statement possible. The concentrating
or breaking of any marriage arrangement,
affects not only the parties concerned, but
whole neighborhoOds, and often whole ma
tons of unborn people.
am sure the "yes7 written or spoken
by the grandmother of George Washington
TO her proposing lover left its distinct mark
upon two worlds.
Had the great-grandfather OF Guiteau
been rejected by the woman he'married it
is not probable that from any other mar
riage either might thereafter have con-
tracted would have descended such abnor-
NAL monstroSity.
1t requires generations to produce re-
and no matter IL we can account for GER
tain tendencies as the direct result Of pre-
natal influences, yet the character which
overcomes or Is overcome by prenatal in
fiuences must be inherited from genera
tions of ancestors.
In every marriage contracted to-day there
is possibility that some descendant there
from during the next century may be a
Beethoven or Guy Fawk, al Abraham
Lincoln or Pigott. Therefore how can
any man declare that his marriage is a
wholly personal affair? And how can we
be blamed if we are sometimes curious re-
garding the manner in which men propose
marriage?
When very small girl, the oversSpply

The Concord school OF philosophy
is no more. The announcement OF its
demise was to be expected. The able
body OF men beginning with Emerson
and Thoreau and ending with Alco t
gave it virility and individuality which
their successors were unable to i'm
part. The Concord school was itself
q select and aristocratic body. Its
scope was marrow, and dealing alone
with abstruse problems Of Enetaphys-
les, it never could appeal to the gen.
eral public for support, no matter how
eager the average man might be to sit
at the feet of philosophers. It's place,
nevertheless, has been supplied by
that summer school now SO popular all
over the country, known as the Chau
tauqua. Its currtculH embrace every
thing from music to art and from
political economy TO the dead Ian
guages. Its influence is refining and
elevating, whether or no it is able 10

child she loves would find the explains
ton i'll the fact that she was losing too
much sleep in ornamenting that child's
clothes. Many husband who sur.
'prises his wife by his harshness
would find an explanation in the fact
that he was making too heavy drafts
on his nervous strength in efforts to
get rapidly rich. Many boys and girls
surprise their friends by irritability OF
temper, when the whole trouble Is that
they are making too heavy drafts on

The italian Parliament.

ROME, Nov. 25.-The Italian par
Lament was opened today by King
Humbert. In his speech the king
alluded TO the smallness Of the de-
felt in the budget and said the gov
ernment's wise and equitable policy
assured tranquility to Italy and
guaranteed peace which, thanks to
the concert Of the great powers,
would be assured to Europe. This
utterance was greeted with great
applause. Continuing, the king
said questions which might disturb
the peace had not yet been settled,
and il was necessary, therefore,
without undue demands upon the
budget, 10 continue TO provide mill
tary and naval protection TO Italian
unity and independence. He ex-
pressed hope that the ornaments
which the powers were preparing
would not be used. Italy, he said,
would lay down arms in Africa
when an international agreement
should have been reached guaran-
teeing to her the very considerable
possessions she now had in that
continent and recognizing the wide
sphere of her influence. He hoped
that he would be enabled TO pro-
mote humanity in q region where it
had been outraged by much barbar-
ity. In conclusion King Humbert
said: II shall always pursue the
work Of civilization, from which all
our advantages arise
The king was enthusiastically
cheered on his way to and from
parliament.

PENSION RULINGS.

The assistant Secretary of the In
terror, in the annual report of the
operations of his Office in the adju-
dicatiOn of pension claims that are
appealed from the decisions Of the
commissioner Of pensions, says that
out of 1888 appeals on file, lSSS were
considered and disposed OF, leaving
1900 appealed cases pending July,
1859. Secretary Bussey says:
"Much time has been applied to the
examination Of motions filed by claim
ants and attorneys for consideration OF
appeals that have been adversely
adjudicated by my predecessor. In
many instances these motions arc
given special attention, because they
related TO cases Of law, Of fact. and Of
practice that seemed to require i'm
mediate action, and in order rot only
that justice might be done to claimants
but that the Judgment of the Depart
ment might be promptly stated with
reference TO the large class ef claims
that have been unnecessarily rejected.
As result Of this course, n number Of
important rulings have been made
with a view to broadening and liberal
iZing the departmental interpretations
Of law applicable to the numerous
meritoriOus claimants whose applica-
tons for pensions have been uniustly
denied, partly because barred by tech
nicalities and partly by reason OF the
narrow definitions OF pensioners
rights"
