Toy Now Heat as One.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 30-Mott street society circles are in fiutter over the marriage of Gnu Fong and Miss Lun San Toy, mem bers oathe Mongolian Four Hundred The wedding took place in the Chinese theater
 Miss Lum was attired in a costume of rich Chinese silk embroidered with gold Her glossy black hair was close to her head in braids. and over all she wore a red veil of an oriental fabric, resembling tarletan in its transparency.
 Gnu Fong's red dress was gorgeous, and every one of the five suits of clothes be- meath it vied with the outer robes in splen- dor. His marriage hat was gorgeOusly em- brOidered. was in shape like an inverted poundcake pan, and had R tall golden cornucopia upon it and peacock feathers that were so tall that the groom had to kow tow to pass through a door or to gu under the chandelier.
 Both Gnu Fong and Lum san Toy were several times picked up and horne around the rooms by those who assisted in thecere- monies As Gnu Fong weighs TBS pound, this was an ardUouS task for the bearers. The high priest of the big Joss house off ciated, and the incantations to Keep devils away included the burning of much punk and incense. The marriage contract was sent to the office of the Six Companies where it was filed The twain drank cur of wine and pledged their best endeavors for mutual conjugal felicity
 Then two bushels of firecrackers vere sci oil outside the windows, and if any Chi nese devil had the temerity to haunt tn, vicinity that must have finished him Later the favor of Huf Man or family god was invoked. All Chinatown helped ir the invocation and Fourth of July was rivaled with fireworks.
 The groom was arrested after the ccre mony for being connected with the snug gling of Chinese into this country. Ht gave bond

A philosopher has been studying the question long time, and finally con cluded that there are two kinds of crim- inality-atavic and evolutional. If your physiological and psychological consti- tuition is morbid, so that you involun- tarily return to the robbery, murder and violence whereby mankind got a living in the ape stage of its existence and thought nothing of it, and you con sequently steal a watch, then you filch it in the atavic way. If, however, you steal railroad, or vast manufacturing establishment, or a farm, by reason of greater power of rascality than your fel- low men possess, then you do your steal ing in the evolutional way. You are an evolutional criminal. Meantime it makes little practical difference whether you steal by the Gtayic or the evolutionary method, and while the philosopher has been figuring all this out of his head thieves have gone on increasing. and both watches and railroads have been stolen, and the philosopher has made no effort at all to stop it.

The Case of New England Farms.


 "You can find any number of farmers in Massachusetts who are ready, to curse God and die because they can not get rich by farming, but the fault is in themselves, and there is no oc- cupation in which they could succeed any better unless they proceeded by diff ferent methods" This is the remark of writer in the Boston Herald, who has been investigating the New England abandoned farms. As a result of his work he is ready to stake his judgment on the assertion that if farmers of New England would put as much brains and hustling into their work as the banker does into his business the result would be equally good.
 One cause of the abandonment of the tarms has not been greatly dwelt upon till the Boston Herald writers mentioned 1t. From time immemorial the most en- ergetic and btainy young men and young women, too, have left rural life in New England and all over the country to try their fortunes in the city. The cities to- day constantly draw their supply of brains and energy from the farms. Only for this the cities would actually run out in course of time. They are an artificial product anyhow and must constantly be replenished from the strong, red blood of the country. In New England this tapping of rural life for the benefit of the city has gone on longer than else where in America. The result is that the farms are today stripped of their brightest and most ambitious sons and daughters. The Herald writer is bold enough to say that the stupid and anti l husthng ones are those who are left be- hind on the farms. These will not keep up with the changed requirements of modern agri- | culture. One who succeeds in any field of human endeavor at present must | adapt himself to the circumstances as | they occur, for never since history be- gan did change follow change in every walk so rapidly as it does at the close of the nineteenth century. The farmer who cannot keep up bids fair to end his days in poorhouSe or else as the tenant of some rich city man who bought his old farm and turned it into show place.
 But The Herald man found a farmer so besotted in his clinging to ancient ways that he even put his ha?stacks year after year upon the same spot his father did.
 There is brighter prospect ahead however. In Vermont butter making and sheep farming are bringing ever more than inc old time prosperity tC certain parts. while dairying and vege table farming are doing the same il Massachusetts.
