ABOUT MARRYING,
1t Is Mistake to Wed Simply Because

1t Is "A Mistake to We'd Simply Because
You Are in Love.
Said middle-aged lady to young
friend: do not make the mistake
OF marrying a man simply because
you are in love with him.
'1f he does not care quite as much
for you you had better break your
heart grieving over what you have
not got than wear your heart out in
sorrow because you are bound to q
man whose Indifference is perpetuaLly
before your eyes. The idea Of teach
ing man to love you is most mis-
taken one.
There arc instances where tt has
been done. but it is the most unsatis-
factory thing in the world to wait for
A woman is much more likely to learn
to love her husband after marriage
than the man to learn to love the wife.
and the reason for this isevident.
The woman in the quiet of her
home has her thoughts constantly
directed toward the husband. The
man in the whirl of business has a
thousand things to distract his atten-
ton and she must be woman OF
more than ordinary grace and attrac-
tiveness who can win tired, often
times harassed and distracted man
from his business thought to a deep
and lasting affection.
You say that marriage is = lottery.
So it is but there are lotteries and
lotteries and of all chance games the
chance of winning a hayward heart is
about the most hopeless.
ESPECIALLY is this true if the wo-
man herself is deeply in love. She
gauges the mans feelings by her own
and bases her demands on what she
would herself do as she fancies, under
like circumstances
But she reasons from wrong prem
ises, and like all calculations based on
error, comes far short of her expecta-
tlons Marry only the man who de-
sires your love above all things else
otherwise it is better to remain
single. Oakland Echoes.

THE SWITCH PARADE.
The Origin of an Ancient Swiss CeIebra

ton
This Is the story, says Harper's
Young People, told by an old Swiss
chronicle:
The magistrates of the Swiss town
OF Brugg assembled in council, and
resolved to raise a forest of oak trees
o. the common.
Then citizens sailed forth on rainy
DAY. made holes in the ground with
canes and sticks dropped an acorn in
every hole and trampled the dirt
down with their feet Thus they
sowed upwards of twelve sacks OF
acorns; and when the work was done
each citizen received a wheaton roll
as treat the expense being betrayed
by the town treasury.
Alas. the acorns lay too deep in the
ground, which besides, had been
trodden down to firmly by so many
feet; the seeds never came UP.
The thrifty townspeople then raised
a crop of rye and oats on the common.
After the harvest they ploughed the
soil, and sowed acorns in the burrows.
But luck even now turned against
them Only a few acorns came up,
while the grass grew all over the
common.
The townspeople made hay in due
season. carefully sparing the infant
oaks when they moved. 1t was no
use! The rank weeds soon killed
them all.
After this second failure the men,
bers of the council put their wise
heads together and resolved TO try a
new way. for an oak grove they were
bound to have.
On the twentieth day of October, in
the year of our Lord 1882, the whole
community marched out to the woods.
Men, women, and children dug I'D oak
sapllngs, and transplanted them on
the common. The citizens worked
with a will In the evening every
boy and girl was given wheaton roll
to remember this arbor day while
the men and women partook of a
merry supper in the town hall
Now the oaks did grow. says the
chronicle.
The Brugg people were so pleased
with this final su cess that they de-
cided to institute the anniversary of
this arbor day in 1882 as holiday in
their town for all times to come
Year after year young people
marched IN parade to the oak grove,
and returned home carrying oak
twlg5, or switches. as a proof that the
trees grew apa"e; and year after year
wheaton roll was given by the town
to every boy and girl to be eaten in
remembrance OF arbor day.
This ancient custom has been kept
up faithfully through the centuries,
and still exists under the name of the
Switch Parade.
