sacredness of the Marriage Rite,

The first step toward making the ideal
the real is to educate our sons and daugh-
tiers into the most exalted ideas of the
sacredness of married life and the response
bilities of parenthood. would have them
give at least as much thought to the crea-
ton of an immortal being as the artist
gives to his landscape or statue. Watch
him in his hours of solitude, communing
with great nature for days and weeks in
all her changing moods, and when at last
his dream of beauty is realized and takes
a clearly defined form, behold how pa
tiently he works through long months and
years on sky and lake, on tree and flower,
and, when complete, it represents to him
more love and life, more hope and ambi-
ton that the living child at his side, to
whose conception and antenatal develop
ment not one soulful thought was ever
given. To this impossible period of
human life few parents give any thought,
yet here we must begin to cultivate the
virtues that can alone redeem the world
How oblivious even our greatest philo-
sophers seem 10 the well-known laws of
physiology. Think of man like Darwin,
so close an observer of every form of life,
so firm believer in the laps OF heredity,
venturing on marriage and fatherhood
while he was the victim of an incurable
hereditary disease. That he thought of
this while raising a large family is plain
from his published letters, in which he
deplores his condition, and groans lest his
physical affections be visited on his chill
dren. Alas! who can measure the miseries
of the race resulting from the impure and
unholy marriages into which even intelli-
gent men and women SO recklessly enter

Thirteen at the Table.

spirites, elves, vampires, ghouls, or ghosts.
Nor do believe in an evil genius, the evil
eye, a bottomless pit, or devil with horns
and cloyen foot. / would not pass night

cause that would be an unpleasant and I'm
profitable way to spend night. l wear

"As to sitting down with thirteen at

But | respect the superstition, not because
| am superstitious. but because / do not
want to feel uncomfortable. Three times
in my life have been one of dinner party
of thirteen. On each occasion one passed
the joke to another that he or she would be
the victim. In every instance one of the
guests died within the year. So. in nv
experience, the truth of the adage was
proven. To tind party numbering thir-
teen now would spoil the dinner for me.
If one feels uncomfortable the dinner is a
failure, no matter how excellent the food
may be. A good dinner consists in some
thing much mere than things to eat and
drink. Its pleasure depends more on the
subtler elements of good company, minds
at ease and attuned to harmony with the
spirit ofthe occasion. If your dinner is to
be made uncomfortable by mournful or
unpleasant feature of this kind YOU might
better stop at restaurant and swallow a
dozen oysters. You could then at least
have pleasant chat with the man behind
the counter while he opens your oysters.
The last of the three occasions / mentioned

heart was to pass bill rejecting in the highest
degree the protective system. What he wanted
to avoid was paying too much for sn industry.
Such was the case with the tin-plate duty. 1t
would amount to fifty millions of dollars before
the manufacturers Of tin-plate could declare a
dividend. He was anxious that his party
should not take a false step. He did not expect
to participate much in the delibs rations of the
House hereafter. He was quite as ready to go

action.

Neidinghaus moved to amend by reducing
the duty on refined borax from 5 TO cents per
pound.
O'Ferral read list of what he singled out as
excessive duties, laying stress upon the duty on
ready -made clothing which he held was in the
interest of Postmaster-General Wanamaker.

Biggs of California offered an amendment in
creasing the duty on olive Oil from 35 to so
cents per gallon. He advocated the protection
of the olive oil industry in the interest of pure
olive oil. He was not hidebound. His party
was opposed to his amendment but he, as an
independent American citizen advocated the
proposition. The amendment was rejected.
Various other amendments were offered, but
rejected, and after considering thirteen of the
l56 pages the committee rose and the House
adjourned.

PENSION MEASURES.
Report Made on Pending Bills by Senate
Committee.

Report Made on Pending Bills by Senate
Committee.
WASHINGTON, May 13th-Senator Davis,
with the unanimous concurrence of the
other members of the Senate Pensions
Committee. to-day submitted a report
recommending that the Senate do not
agree to the amendments made by the
House to the Senate dependent pensions
bill. The bill, as it passed the Senate,
was dependent pension measure identical
to that vetoed by Cleveland. 1t is the
opinion of the Senate committee that it is
the duty of the Government, before enter
ing upon any other pensions legislation, to
provide for the needs of the disabled and
dependent soldiers in the most liberal
manner possible. The Senate bill framed
upon this theory of service pension is a
matter which should not be involved with
the disability bill.
The estimates prepared by the Adjutant-
Generals office to show the approximate
aggregate of the cost OF the service pension,
upon the basis of sixty-th years as the
age limit, will be 81, 1S2 ,O95, 525. Upon the
basis of sixty years the cost will be 81 ,333, :
l09.S2 Of this amount $1.O79617 ,O24
must be paid before the end of the year
1918, and an average annual payment of
SAL ,523, 1872.
These estimates are materially greater
than those of the House Committee, but
the Senate Committee adopted them be-
cause based on valid reasons, and because
experience had shown that pension esti-
mates heretofore invariable had fallen be-
low the actual cost.
1t is the committees opinion that when
ever it is deemed wise to inaugurate sys-
tenn of service pensions, it should be done
for the benefit of all living soldiers who
were honorably discharged, and that the
rate of pension should be decided accord.

Compromised at Last.

WASHINGTON, May 13th.-The Secretary
of the Treasury has accepted an offer to
pay $500 and costs in the compromise of
the case of the Mexican steamer Mont
serrat, against which the Government had
claim of S12 900 on account of tonnage

ton by Mexico of the treaty formerly ex-
listing between that country and the United
States. The Montserrat was purchased in
Austria for the purpose of trading under
the Mexican flag between the United States
and Mexican ports on the Pacific coast
The case has been pending long time.
