II were asked by young man or a
young woman how to be guided In the
choice of life mate, should, in the ex-
ercise of judgment based on wide and
studious observation, say: Choose that
person who, after q reasonable period OF
association, proves TO be most compan-
ionable. This broad law comprehends
nearly all others that can be suggested.
1t were infinitely better to be single
through life than marry one who would
not answer to this condition. Speaking
somewhat narrowly and selfshly, con-
tentment is the most that can be got out
Of life, and when a contented couple is
found it will also be discovered that they
exhibit manifestly opposite characters
tics of temperament, habit, taste and
physique.
1t is upon this fixed foundation that
happy affinities are formed. 1t is an i'm
portant doctrine in medical jurispru-
dence that "like cures like"-which is
only another way for saying that like
kills hke-and it is equally true in the
social realm that companionship is not
felt between young men and young
women who are closely similar in gen
eral appearances or disposition. On the
contrary, it arises and leads to happy
unions between persons who are often
widely dissimilar, L. Payne in La

BLAINE AND THE "HoRlcUs." :

The Fatality of the si1ty-third Year Once
More Demonstrated.
To-day would have been Mr.. Blaine's
ixty-third birthday. He was supersti-
hous in regard to seven and believed
that if he should outlive the completion
Of his ninth seven years he would re-
cover. He did not" This language is
copied from an editorial in the Iowa
State Register of Jan. 81, which closes
without giving reasons for Mr.. Blaine's
superstition, II superstition it may be
called. 1t has been known since time
out of memory that certain years in the
lives of all men are of peculiar impor-
tance-years that are liable to singular
vicissitudes in the health and fortunes of
the highest as well as the lowest of our
race.
Where or how this strange belief lit is
not superstition" for it has been
proved time and again that the end of
each 7-year period is exceptionally fataD
originated is unknown, but it is sup
posed to be founded on the teachings of
Pythagoras, who built up regular sys-
tenn of religion @ based ON the squares
and circles of the seven. In the encyclo-
pedias you will find reference to the be-
lief under the heading, "Chmacteric
Year." but none of those in my library
gives any account Of the origin, antiquity
or development of the idea. A letter
written by Augustus Cesar refers to the
prevalence of the belief even in his time.
He says, "All the years Of a mans life
that are multiples of seven-i. e., IA, 81,
%, 50, 40, 40, So, 69, etc.-are crises that
should not be lightly overlooked, espe-
cially the ninth seven, SO, which is the
grand climacteric."
Some philosophers, those of an astro-
logical turn Of mind in particular, have
called the sixty-tbird year 'Horicus," be-
cause Of Roman notion that it was
very fatal to great men. The sole cause
Of the grand climacteric" being more
fatal than the other multiples of seven is
supposed to revert to the fact that is a
combination of seven and nine, both of
which are mythical and sacred numbers.
In this connection it may be remarked
that all nations attach signal importance
to the seven and all multiples of that
number. Thus at IA, twice seven, the
male and female are supposed to have
arrived at puberty; at 81, three sevens,
the male becomes "of age" while many
writers, Aristotle in particular, fix 80,
five sevens, as the climax of bodily vigor,
and 40 as the year of maximum mental
activity. At the age of SO, when man is
nine times seven years of age, according
to the very best statisticians in the
world Qeaving superstition" entirely
out of the question:, the most trivial dis
eases are likely to cause death, even in
what is considered the most robust of
men. Ten sevens-70-has long been
ascribed as the limit of mans earthly
career.-St. Louis Republic.

There is a growing feeling in influen-
tial circles that Fairhaven has passad
its dullest period and that hereafter
there will be a continual revival of
business interests, which may be slow
at first, but which will gather force
with an increasing impetus until the
streets are again busy and the stores
and dwelling houses are all filled with
an active and happy multitude. Those
who are interested in large enterprises
are not apt to publish their plans to the
world before they are sufficiently COM
plete to insure no counter plans from
other sources, especially since all ex-
perience proves that one of the princi-
pal elements in the successful prosecu-
ton of great enterprises is the ability
TO hold ones own counsel, and yet the
HERALD is sufficiently informed about
certain lines to be strong in the belief
that before the summer is far on its
way much better condition of affairs
will be realized in Fairhaven than is at
present experienced. Affairs IN the
city are becoming 50 adjusted as to need
but very slight move in certain direc-
lions to begin activities along the whole
line Of business enterprise. In the very
nature of things, the dawn of the bet
ter day cannot be very far removed in
the future.

The European war cloud has again
shown itself above the horizon and
threatens to deluge the whole conti-
nent with bloodshed, at least so writes
an over-heated London correspondent.
Little Servia's bloodless revolution of
last week appears to be the agent con-
tanning the war microbes, with the
Russian bear in the distance as the
prime mover in starting the microbes
on their deadly mission. There have
been too many hairbreadth escapes from
q general European conflagration to-
cause much fear that the present con
dition is more than a monetary fer
mentation in the diplomatic cauldron,
but if it should assume such serious di-
mansions as to interfere in the naval
display to occur shortly at New York,
then Uncle Sam ought to register a
mild protest.
