YOUTHFUL MARRIAGES.

Some Of the Mistakes Made by Romantic
Young Men and Women.
There is a diversity of opinion on
the subject of youthful marriages. 1t
may be question whether young peo-
pie know their own minds sufficiently
well before the age of twenty-five to
hazard final choice. Taste changes
very much between the age of eighteen
and the age above mentioned. Many
who have made their choice earlier
have carried it out from a sense OF
honor and not from love. because a
wider range of choice has shown them.
too late, alas! their mistake The
burdens of life are heavy enough to
bear without adding this, the sorest of
all.
really love each other they get along
well through the vicissitudes of life,
because one Unreasonable source of
happiness always remains to them
whatever disasters betide. and
that is their unfailing sym
pathy with each other. Nothing less
than this enables a young couple to
endure with equanimity all the cares
and anxieties and disappointment OF
married life. Nothing is more com
mon than to see two young persons
marry with the approval of the fami
lies and all the friends on each side.
What q fortunate match for both o.
them?" every one exclaims. To out
side appearance it is. A little time
elapses-it may be few years, or i,
may be only one-when. to the sur
prise of their acquaintances, it is an
nounced that the marriage has turned
out unhappily. The explanation i.
simple there was no love between
them. There was a degree of friend
ship; there was a mutual expectation
of advantage from the connection. but
love there was not For the ordinar,
transactions and relations of life re
spect and friendship are all that are re-
nuired. 1t is not so in marriage
Nothing there will supply the plac
of love. The belief that there ar,
substitutes for it is one on which man,
a gay and hopeful young couple hav
trusted their happiness. only to find
a total wreck. -Philadelphia Record

Hypnotizing by Photograph.

DR.. Pinel. of Paris. is said to have
succeeded in hypnotizing several sub
jects by means of the photograph All
the commands given through this
channel were. he declares, as readily
obeyed as those which he uttered di-
rectly. and suggestions of every pos
sible sort were as effectually commu-
nicated through the medium of the
machine as if made viva voce. The
conclusion which he deduces from his
experiments is that the received theory
of magnetic current passing from the
operator to the subject is entirely base
less. and that the real cause of the
phenomena of hypnotism is nervous
arrangement on the part of those sub
ject to them.-Medical Times.

That straight-faced gentleman.
Haydn, whose pious h.kit of inscrib-
ing his scores with bits of reverent
Latin, will go down to posterity. and
who, if this failed, would always be
held sacred for his oratorio, The Gre
ationn--even he fell in love with Mile
Boselli. despite his wife and his piety.
He had her portrait painted. and salts
fed all her little whfms and fancies,
which. like those of al: prime dome,
were not, of course, inexpensive ones.
Good old, but inconstant Haydn! Re-
membering the predilection his WIFE
Keller the BARRIERS daughter-had for
priests and monks, he can no! we'll be
blamed for seeking consolation in the
society of one of his most charming
singers. It is to be hoped he stopped
here, though. from quite a
famous compliment which he
paid Mrs. Ellington. it is to be feared
he possessed the knack of ingratiating
himself into the favor of the fair sex
generally. Reynolds had painted the
songstress as Cecilia listening to
Celestial music. YES" said Haydn,
upon being asked for his opinion, cit
is. indeed. a beautiful picture-just
like her; but-what a mistake
''Where?" inquired the painter. why,
you have painted her listening to the
angels, when you ought to have repre-
sented the angels listening to her."
By way of extenuatiOn for Haydn, it
must be admitted that all the master
musicians have been frail IN the mat
ter of love and beauty. Beethoven's
love letters constitute quite a study in
passionate endurance, and are much
more creditable to him thai, the story

musician BridgetOwer's name from

Time to Reform the Calendar.

An ingenious Yankee, with an eye to
adjusting himself to his environment,
has moved a reorganization of the cal
endar. Winter. he contends, should
begin on January and include March;
spring should commence with April
and include June; July. August and
September should constitute summer,
and the fall. beginning with October.
should not end till after Christmas.
His new calendar would play the mis-
chief with traditions, but it would
come nearer to actual experience than
does the present Anticipated European
article. The procession OF the equi-
noxes is too slow altogether for the
American climate Facts are on the
side of reform. and if the weather does
not speedily repent and bring forth
frui more meet for repentance than
rank grass and dropsical potatoes. the
newly-established Department of Ag-
riculture will be called on to revise the
calendar. -Brooklyn Citizen.

train robbery on the Milwaukee 50
Northern railway at Beaver tonight has
in it all the elements of the daring which
characterized the train gang of the
frontier in the palmy days of the
James boys of Missouri. The train had
just pulled out of Beaver, a station
five miles from this point. A man
walked deliberately through the rear
coach to the rear door. Reaching that,
he asked the brakeman: "What is the
name of the station you have just left?'
Beaver" was the reply. ''Well," said
the stranger, drawing pistol from his
hip pocket. Il guess I'll trouble you to
shell out the spare change you have in
your pocket" The brakeman complied,
and then the daredevil proceeded on his
mission, calling upon each passen-
ger in similar manner. AS he relieved
each passenger he made him walk
ahead, and kept up this programme un-
til he had visited every coach in the
train. Having secured something from
every one, he backed his way out. still
holding his revolver before hun. and
leaped from the train in the dark just as
the train was pulling into this station.
E. G. Allen, travelling man from
Marinette, was the greatest loser. He

to a call issued by Gen. Y. D. Groner,
chairman of the anti-Mahone wing of
the Republican party of Virginia, del
egation, composed of about one hundred
and fifty of the most prominent MEM
bers of that section of the party, met at
the Ebbitt house to-day and prepared a
communication addressed to Gen. Ma
hone, to be submitted to his committee
for their approval or rejection. The
committee then called upon the presi-
dent for the purpose of present
ing to him their side of the ques-
ton of Republican politics in Virginia.
The president was unable to hear them
to-day, but said he would meet them at
future day. He said he would be glad
to have copy OF the proposition made
to the Malone committee, and the COM
mittee promised to send it to him.
After each member of the delegation
had been presented to the president they
retired, and returned to the Ebbitt
where they held another meeting, and
appointed a committee of ten to wait
upon the president and make an ap-
pointment with him for visit by the
delegation at some future time.

seven miles from this city, by which
three men were fatally injured and fif-
teen more seriously hurt. While one
of the big bents of the barn was being

posts slipped beyond the protecting bar
and the big beam came crashing down
with terrific force upon ascOre Of men.
The utmost CONSERVATION prevailed and
the work of rescue was retarded for
the time being owing to the excitement
and lack OF adequate help. Frank
Erich was the first rescued and will
die. His chest is crushed entirely in.
Jacob kurtZ, Cf Norton Center, was
crushed fatally. Milton Boerstler,
son OF the owner of the barn. received

William, and brother Charles were ter
ribly gaShed and bruised. A dozen
more were more Or less injured. 1t is
impossible to obtain full particulars and
the names of all the wounded owing to
the remOteness of the locality. The
wives of the men were in the house

some of them. were completely pros
trated by the calamity. Medical aid

sort of marine picnic and has no more
significance than if the feet went to

''But Canadian schoOners have been
mOleSted and are now under arrest"
EYES," Sir John admitted. canadian
schOOners have been mOlested and
think it very mean that they have not
been brought to trial. The fact is the
United States government knows its
absurd pretensiOn about Behring sea,
being mare clauSum. cannot be main-
tained." ''Ought the government not
to demand redress for the seiZures?"
AOru OdilSDufv HAS DeeH uOinS nOtuILS
but demand redress ever since," The
Canadian government made representa-
tiOnS to the home government immedi-
ately and the imperial government took
immediate action. OF course if the
United States refuses to respect the law
of nations there are only three courses
for us: We must have war, back down.
or arbitrate. My opinion is that if the
United States do not acknowledge
themselves to be in the wrong. the mat
ter will be referred to arbitration. /
