MODERN MARRIAGE.

what 1t should BE. and Why 1t Very Often
Falls short or the True ideal.
Marriage is still too often only bar
gain. but at least it is no longer an en-
tirely one-sided bargain. 1t is tending
toward the only true ideal Of lifelong
companionship-a partnership on equal
sides Women no longer feel bound to
render that implicit obedience which
was considered de regueur in our great
grandmothers' days, and men no longer
universally demand it. Husbands,
moreover, are beginning to learn that
their prime duty is not ito look after
their wives. The very sentence is in
dicative of the most CHASTITY misappre-
hension of the whole idea of matri-
mony. The general feeling Of society
condemns man who lives to rule his
wife on the same principles as a pasha
rules his harem. And. indeed. the
whole scheme of modern life makes it
practically impossible for him to do SO
A married woman, enjoys. as a rule,
complete liberty during the livelong
day, and even at night it is frequently
impossible for busy man to escort
his wife, Thus every thing turns on
the relations between the married cou-
pie. II q girl is really in love with the
man she marries, she may be trusted
with any amount of subsequent free
dom. II not not; and, therefore. we
say, that the injudicious and worldly
parents who are responsible for the
great majority Of ill-assorted unions,
are also responsible for the many evil
results which are to be seen in society
at this day. For it is a fact that scores
of our girls are as much forced into
marriage as the French girl, whose hus-
band is selected while she is yet in her
convent Not by main force, no; but by
the whole tone of her education, by the
exaggerated fear Of being an old maid,
by the obvious necessity of making
way for younger sister, by the per-
sistent scheming of her parents, and by
her own longing for emancipation-for
marriage undoubtedly, does mean
emancipation to most women; and it is
precisely those who look forward to it
most who are likely to make the worst
use of it.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

init, n. j., Have Accomplished.
A little more than eight years ago the
women of Summit, n. j., formed a
village improvement society. Begin
ming their work at the railway station
they graded the grounds, laid walks,
made gutter, sowed the grass seed
and arranged the flower beds. They
next turned their attention to shade
trees, for up to that time the streets
were almost entirely shadeless. The
trees were set out and looked after. and
then the sidewalks were taken in hand.
The society bought two sprinkling carts
and the service of them is paid by a tax
on those having the benefit of them.
Realizing the Importance of keeping
tidy after once putting things in order
the society hires a man whose duty it is
to walk daily through the streets-pick-
ing up litter scattered about by careless
persons. A piece of work done by these
women that deserves special mention
was the eradication of the elm-tree bug
from the trees. For four seasons the
women treated nearly thousand trees,
under directions from the agricultural
department at Washington. During the
eight years the society has paid out an
average of about 81. 900 per year. Its
dues are 81 year, or S25 for life men,

what Mrs. Elizabeth Lofgren Has Accom-

Mrs. Elizabeth Lofgren is famous
abroad as the first organizer of women's
associations in Finland. This country
in recent times has been spoken of at
least in Europe, for the sake of the re-
strictions put upon it by the Russian
government Mrs. Lofgren's early la
bors to improve her sex were beset
with great difficulties, but by and by
she began to gather some other women
around her and in 1883 she started 1.-The
Finnish Women's union" In Finland
every association Of any importance
must have its constitution confirmed by
the imperial senate, but it often hap
pens that the senate refuses to confirm
it, and then the association has not the
right to exist publicly. This evil fate
did not, however, meet the Finnish
Women's union, thanks to the wise pre-
caution of it's first president. Mrs. Lof-
gren. The union got its constitution
confirmed and began Immediately its
work Aside from this Mrs Lofgren
has done and is continually doing good
work for the advancement and devel-
opment of her sisters. Through her
influence the first women printers were
employed in her husbands large print
ing establishment Since then there
are women in almost all printing houses
in Finland. She is also one of the
founders of the first Finnish high
schools with co-education leading to
the university. She is good scholar
in the Finnish language and has trans
lated good deal from the French,
English and Norwegian literature into

mind is deep and somewhat reserved.
She is a woman of rich experience, in

through the center Of the ten miles
square. Indeed there were men in
those days SO irreverent as to intimate
that Washington was influenced in his
choice by personal considerations be-
cause his own home. Mount Vernon,
was so near the spot selected. Others.
probably with equal approximation to
truth. have said that better sites farther
down the river were rejected by WASH
ington because he feared that some
criticism might attach to him for locat-
ing the capital too near his own home.
Whatever motives prompted him, how
ever, it is certain that far better sites
were available along the banks of the
Potomac. Nevertheless, by virtue of
the difficulties surrounding him, the
genius OF L'Enfant shines the brighter,
for he surmounted all obstacles. His
plans included wharves along the river
front. bridges across the eastern branch,
as well as over the main stream, to Ar
lington, the reclamation OF fats,
marshes and quagmires, the Enclosure
OF the Tiber, making a culvert Of it,
and in fact all the improvements which
have latterly been made.
One thing which he desired and In
tended has not been accomplished, and
will not be for another half century or
more, If ever. L'Enfant intended that
the city should lie upon the plateau
known as Capitol hill. But the proper
ty owners held their lots at SUCH fabu-
lous figures that the population drifted
westward, on out to Georgetown, leav-
ing the magnificent east front of the
capitol bereft of that magnificence
which the genius had anticipated, so
that the Goddess of Liberty, from her
perch upon the dome, gazes at the ris-
ing sun over a sparsely settled section.
The same condition exists to-day, in
that property is held at more than
double its actual value there. All SUBJ
urban improvements extend westward
and northwestward, instead of east
ward, and all Of our statesmen, legis-
lators, justices and diplomats enter
the capitol by tho back door because of
this unfortunate condition of affairs.
Congress wisely selected two squares Of
ground, directly east Of the capitol
grounds, for the site Of the Congression-
al library, and that magnificent struc-
ture is now mounting skywards. II
other public buildings are located upon
the hill in the future the development
of that section will be more rapid
My attention was drawn to this sub
ject Of L'Enfant and his plans by gen.
tleman high in official authority in our
local government, who, after exhibiting
the maps, said: lis it not time for the
people to know something of L'Enfant,
become acquainted with his merits and
authorize their representatives to erect
a monument to his memory? We have
statues of men of lesser intellectually,
and who have been by far less service
able to their country. It is common
for all peoples to recognize merit too
late to bring pleasure to genius; and
yet, it seems to me, this country has
been exceedingly dilatory in giving
recognition to the merits of the man
who planned the greatest capital city
on earth" SMITH ID. FRY.

management of the lighthouses. Flori-
