IS MARRIAGE A FAILURE?

The fact that there are sixteen di.

Is nothing but shame to be felt over
such condition Of affairs as this.
Even were we to think it right that

that such large percentage of our

THE AMERICAN VOICE.

An article by Fletcher Osgood in
the Forum TOR June crItlcises severely
the American conversational voice
both in man and woman, giving the
latter the worst time OF it-probably
because naturally womans voice is
expected TO be that excellent thing"

tons, and hopefully adds that they
are remedlable by training. The
throat clutch" or "clinch jaw"
or the "sullen drone" or the
tone OF despondcncy," he says,
react upon character itself, and asks
,'are our schools and colleges dong
all that should be done for pure col
loquial cIocution.'
In connection with this subject OF
national importance 1t IS interesting
to note Mark Twain, recent "kick'
against American manners, or lack
OF them. He says, not very elegant
ly it must be admitted, let every
man kick his neighbour and receive
kick in return until we have peace
with courteou>ness." This heroic
remedy does not appeal to our sense
OF fitness, aud we are inclined to see
suspicion OF humor in Marks very
serious attitude, but the idea sug-
gests itself that this prevalence OF
lack OF courtesy may have something
to do with the Objectionable voice
Mr.. Osgood complains OF.
1t is hard to say which is cause
and which is effect At any rate it is
safe to say that the cultivation OF
cheeriulness and courtesy (by some
Other than the kicking method)
could have no i'll effect ON the CONVEX

81. IohnsDury taking the Lead.

St. Johnsbury is making prepara'
tions for course OF University Ex-
tension lectures to he given the coming
fall and winter. This is a movement
IN the right direction, and we are glad
that St. Johnsbury has taken the in
itiatve, and hope sincerely that the
effort will be successful, and that the
example may provecontaglous. UNI
versity Extension is an educational
movement Of the highest value, and
one which has met with phenomenal
success in England and in many sec
tons of this country. 1t is 10 be
regretted that it has been so slow in
finding it's way into Vermont, but we
believe that the time is ripcnlng, il
not already ripe, for its Introduction
into various parts OF the state. st.
Johnsbury has facilities for this kind
of work not shared by many localities
in Vermont, and we are GLAD that the
residents OF that beautiful and enter
prsing town are taking the lead.

Jones from the Academy. In the fourth
lap some one fell from his wheel, throw

could remount the leaders were some

What is LDYe.

Love is. to my mind, nothing but an en-
thusiastic congeniality of the soul 1t is
profound sense OF a pervaSiye harmony of
being.
Its first symptom is not a physical at
traction but delicious realization on the
part of each OF strange consonance Of
nature. More than half its joys consists
in the feeling of being completely under
stood in ones noblest potentialities. The
lover is for the time what his beloved be-
IieveS him to be and she is what he believes
her to be. What happy audacity OF speech,
what glorious heights Of feeling, what
rare flashes of insight as the two chords
go sounding together in mclodioUs embrace,
revealing in each others eloqueDce charm
and beauty!
To be thus tuned up an octave above
ones ordinary self, to feel the resonance
of ones speech in a noble woman's soul,
to receive ones thought back enriched
and beautified by having passed through
her mind, is about the highest beatitude
which earth has to offer. And the chances
of it viii be infinitely multiplied when
mind and character, in the more exclusive
sense, shall not be the rare attributes or
few exceptional women.
soul relation can exist only where souls
exist and have shed their embryonic swath-
ings, have assumed their permanent type
and quality. That by no means precludes
growth but rather inSures it and in Il way
points its direction-H. II. BoyeSen in Lip

FEEDING BABIES IN SUMMER.
The Imperative Necessity of Pasteur-
iZinu 4 Ii Milk


A noted physician has said that food is
the greatest factor in health and disease; it
has made and unmade nations" If this
be true, how important it becomes for
mothers to consider heaithful articles Of
diet for their children, and to demand re-
form in the cooking of the foods usually
given to them. Nursery diet should con-
sist chiefly OF milk, cereals, the proper veg
etables and fruits, meat broths, and very
little meat, if any, for the earlier years.
Milk, its preparation. as well as its adj
ministration, is the first difficulty to con-
front the mother in nursery feeding, al
though she may not consider it thus.
Statistics show, however, that nearly all
the ailments of children are directly trace
able to improper feeding, and that impure
milk is directly responsible for the numer-
GUS deaths from cholera infantum that oc-
cur every summer, in spite OF the COM
bined efforts of'physcians, statesmen, phi
lanthrophists and capitalists. It is evident
that the reform needed for the permanent
benefit OF the little ones must apply di-
rectIy 10 the mothers, and that lack Of edu-
cation in this direction must be met and
conquered.
The proper care of milk demands purity
OF source, CLEANLINESS III UdutHlhB QuiCh
and careful transportation. Failing these,
PaSteuriZation is the only safeguard left to
the mother, that she may protect her child
from the conta gion frequently carried in
milk that has been contaminated by ex-
posure 10 infection. 1t is well known that
scarlet and typhoid fever, measles. dipthe-
ria and similar diseases have often been
carried into families by the innocent look
ing bottle of milk that has been served
daily.
This means the daily application to all
milk used OF a temperature OF 100 to 10
degrees F. for twenty minutes, which
temperature viii Kill all the germs that
are dangerous to the child, without de-
stroying the quality OF the milk as food.
which was a result when sterilization
al a high and prolonged temperature
was first introduced as desirable process
in infant feeding.
For family purposes, an ordinary agate
double boiler may be used very convent
emily, but for the nursery it Is advisable
to use one of the best steamers made,
that each meal may be separate and TO
insure accuracy, which is more important
for an infant than for an adult
