Of caution might be given by us who
have crossed the half-century line in
experience and discipline by the ever
changing condition Of life. They should
stop and inquire why the eligible young
man Of to-day does not seek the young
woman and contract early marriages as
in the days of yore. Our girls are just
as beautiful and should be more accom-
plished because Of the superior advan-

They look about for companion with
whom to spend their days and share
the fruits of their labors. They cannot
in a twinkling lay aside the habits Of
industry and moderation in attendance
upon the frlvolities of society," not even
for the sake of the woman of their
choice. Consequently they hesitate
about marrying any Of the bewitching-
ly beautiful and purposeless young
women they meet because they know
their Unsuitable desire to shine in what
we are pleased to call our best society
Hence they not infrequently shock this

young woman who is engaged in the
laudible business Of earning her living

for the most part quite as impractical

pretty sisters. They are brought up in
idleness and farcical attempts at learn

no idea Of following either; expecting
with the money they will inherit from
their fathers and some rich mans

spend their time yachting, gambling,

NEW GRAViNG DOCK
Formally Opened Saturday by the Prince
and Princess of Wales.

SOUTHAMPTON, Aug. 1.-The Prince and
Princess of Wales and the Duke of York
arrived here Saturday and formally opened
the new Craving dock, said to be the
largest dry dock in the world. Torrents
of rain, however, spoiled the decorations
and thoroughly dampened the enthusiasm
of the large crowds present.
For years, the work Of dock extension
here has been going forward, and now the
Hampshire town, within so miles of Lon
don, has dock area of enormous extent.
Already the great American liners,as well
as the largest vessels of the other lines
that run into this port have been able to
warp alongside the Empress dock and land
their passengers in London within two
hours of their arrival. But by this latest
addition to the docking facilities of South
ampton, the ocean palaces can now be re-
paired and examined on the spot.
The Craving dock just opened is imme-
diately alongside the berths of the Paris,
New York and st. Louis. Its capacity Is
over 1900 tons and its maximum depth is
30 feet. Its width is S11! feet at sill level
and the pumping engines for emptying 1t
are the most powerful known. The guar
antccd time for eIfptying the dock is two
hours ana l5 minutes, which necessitates
delivering $40 tons of water per minute.
Although the new dock is opened, 1t is

London Athletic Club VIII Not Regard
Athletes Station In Life.


LONDON, Aug. 4.-Inquiries have been
made into the sensational reports circu
lated in the United States to the effect
that the London Athletic club was hesi.
tating about sending over team to meet
the New York Athletic club team. The re.
suit is that authority is given to DENY
these reports, which are nothing mor
than the invention of sensation mongcrs
1t is true that there has been some little
difficulty regarding the formation of the
London Athletic clubs team, but there
has never been any question raised which
In any way suggest that the athlstes
wished to withdraw from their agreement
TO meet the Americans. The only differ
ence of opinion prevailing was one respect
ing the men to be selected
The home members objected to men such
as the Irish athletes being included, con.
tending that all the members of the Lon
don Athletic club team should be Eng-
liShmen and of the same social standing
meeting of the committee of the Lon
don Athletic club was then held and
there was lively discussion, during
which it was claimed that the New York
Athletic club was recruiting its best men
outside of New York, such as Tom
OConner, Jewett and Crum, in order to
meet the London Athletic club.
The upshot of the meeting was 1t was
decided to include in the London Athletic
clubs team the best men obtainable in the
various branches of athletics, no matter
what their position in life, and that is all
there was in the sensational story which
claimed that it was exceedingly doubtful

old wooden arch which was blown down
last winter The iron work was designed
by Frank Redlngton and displays to ad-
vantage the good taste of that gentleman,
who has had so much to do in beautifying
the cemetery during the past few years.
1t is of neat design and displays the
words, pine Grove Cemetery" The
iron arch is from the works of Mott &
Company, New York, and was ordered
through W. B Arnold 4 Company. A

The height from the ground to the bottom
of the arch is ii feet, while it is 90 feet
to the highest point. The total cost is
about $500.

Is Genius a Mental MaIady?-Opinions Of
Sundry Scientists and Great Men.

Is Genius a Mental Neutrality-suspicious. Of
Sundry Scientists and Great Men.
1t is probably not true that genius Is &C.
| companied by disturbance of the mental
faculties, although Aristotle and Seneca
remarked that many eminent men had dis
played symptoms of morbid affections Of
the mind. Drydcn's statelyent about the
closeness of the connection between great
wit and madness is well known Lamar
tine says that ''gcnius is mental NAL
ady." Many scientific writers-for in
stance, Morcau of Tours, and moro recent
ly Lombroso and others-have insisted
that genius is n kind of morbid mental af-
fection. On the other hand, Locke, Hell
vetius, DR.. johnson and Goethe ritlcule
the idea. Charles Lamb says: $50 far
from the proposition holding true that
great wit or genius has necessary alli-
anco with insanity the greatest wits, on
the contrary, will ever DO found the sanest
writer's. 1t Is impossible for the mind to
conceive of mad Shakespeare" The
truth appears to be that, though q romark-
able proportion of men of genius have suf-
fered more or less from insanity, still the
facts do not enable us to say that genius Is
generally accompanied by mental disturb
ance The largeness of the proportion
spoken of may probably be accounted for
by the fact that men of great mental caliber
are more subject to mental and nervous
disorders than others. Genius has Its
roots In nervous organization of excep-
tional delicacy. Such an organization Ia
not only less able than others to withstand
shocks and strains, but is moro liable ON
account of the genius that accompanies It
to be exposed to them.-Popular Science
