His plan in a, nutshell, then, Is to
establish aerial torpedoes, fixed on

cities, and SO placed that the explo

THE C4PT4IN' S MISTAKE.

A Boston newspaper has an amusing
story of Yarmouth Captain who was
the proud possessor of a small schooner.
in which he piled the coastlng trade,
Upon one occasion when his vessel
was lying in port, it seemed good to the
Captain to give her coat Of paint, and
to embIazon her name which was Mag
gle, upon her bow. The Captain,
whose confidence in the painters OF
Yarmouth was apparently not OF the
strongest kind, decided that he would
do the work himself. His first effort
was made from a float; but when he
came to the painting on the bows, he
found the bows two high to reach

regarded. Marriage, besides its sacred
obligations, is Il contract in which each
party agrees to discharge certain obli-
cations, and these obligations are as le-
gally and as morally binding as the
terms of other contracts made before
the law. The man solemnly engages
to furnish and support the home, and
the woman as soIemnly pledges herself
to take charge of its comfort and happi-
ness. These are not light obligations
and the fact that they are so lightly AS
sumed in such majority of cases is
one principal reason why so many mar
riages are failures and so many homes
are unhappy. Neither man nor a
woman can rush into state requiring
so much knowledge, and thought and
preparation, without developing a pitt
ful inadeGuacy to meet its duties, and
thereby creating domestic confusion,
just us results when one undertakes to
run an ordinary business without capi-
tai, experience, or knowledge of its
conditions.
In spite of the romance surrounding
it, marriage must have business ad-
ministration, or it will be a failure in
all its phases. The partners of the
matrimonial firm must be actuated by
Il sense of honor towards each other,
and a faithful discharge of mutual du-
ties, or the firm vii become bankrupt
not only ir business way, but in the
far more important matters of love and
happiness. The young man who enters
the married state ought to be willing
and able to maintain a home of his own,
to fit himself to earn its support, to be
capable of sacrifice and exertlon, and
to shift for no cause, save the except
onal and the inexorable one of necess-
ity, it's burdens on other shoulders. He
Is bound in conscience, IN honor and
by virtue OF his manhood, not to assume
obligations when he has no prospect of
fulfilling them, for by so doing he COM
mits serious wrong against his fami-
ly, society and himself. Until a young
man has good prospects of being able
to support Il family, he has no moral
or civil right to marry, and to rush
headlong into matrimony on nothing a
year is as criminal as it IS foolish.
On the other hand, it is on the wo-
man-the wife and mother-that the
making IF the home depends, and she
cannot, either in honor or conscience,
evade the obligations she voluntarily
assumes. She engages to supply its
comforts and happiness, and, in the
case of the average American married
woman, this enyolyes Il degree, varying
with individual circumstances, of man
ual labor and domestic science. A
woman is bound by her contract to fit
herself for the due performance of these
duties, and if she, too, rushes into mar
riage as she would accept an engage
ment at ball, with no knowledge Of
its duties and responsibilities, she is in
the dishonorable condition of one who
promises to give what she does not pos
sess, and commits a grave offence
against the welfare of society, which
depends on the solidity of marriage

posites. 1t will be found practically

THE OBLIG1 TIONS
or WlRRI.A e. Z,

Marriage has so many sides that the
more one considers it, the more Is one
struck with its multiplicity OF aspects
and relations. The great modern mis-
fortune, however. is the want OF con-
sideration of this matter: for, under the
careless and elanclng scrutiny too often
bestowed upon it, marriage appears to
be il vely simple, and, more or less, IN
consequential thing, whereas its conse-
uuences remain and continue til the end
of time. In the careless survey Of the
greatest and most important step hu-
man being can take, only one side pre-
sents itself, and that is the romantic
view Itrepresents itself to the young
and ardent as a state of perennial bliss,
and its responsibilities appear but hazy
prospects in a general roseate cloud.
OF course, the moral and spiritual
sides of marriage are the most impor
tant to the individual and to the race,
but there is what may be called the
practical side which Is the least OF all
