NOVEL READING.
An Excessive Amount of 1t Is Declared To
initiate Against Marriage.

A writer in a monthly review. dis
cussing Mr. Balfour's Foundations of
Belief, takes occasion to say that solid
books, dealing with the great problems
of mind and morals, are no longer read
except by few specialists. That an ex-
elusive diet Of novel reading is extreme
ly facilitating is proved by one series Of
facts which are observable in every part
of the civilized world. Men and women
among the reading classes no longer
marry in anything like such numbers as
they formerly did, and the reason is
that they have no pluck in them to face
lives of Spartan simplicity on limited
incomes
The result is disastrous to women, in
asmuch as it prevents many Of them
ever marrying at all For if a woman
does not marry when she is young very
few men care to marry her when she is
middle aged. Men marry in middle life,
but they do not marry women of their
own age They marry young women
The physiological moral is that it would
be vastly better for both men and wom-
en- to read novels for recreation only,
and when at work to read solid books
which really exercise and develop the
Drain. In practice the result Of this
would be that both men and women
would have better and stronger brains.
They would marry earlier and with more
courage They would face the world
more hopefully and successfully, and
they would become the parents of whole
somer, healthier, happier and mors ca
pable children. English Paper.

Bad School Hon,,.

The register OF deeds at Redfield has
received Q letter from Attorney Rufus
T. Peck, OF Cortland, N. Y, asking if
school bonds Of any individual school
district are required to be registered,
and, if so, whether the $4,000 bonds
OF the Capitola school township of
Sphinx county were registered in 1894
and 1895. The bonds are dated Jan.
s. u 95, and are for $500 each, and
nine in number. The attorne; asks
whether there is Capitola school
township in that county. The in
quiry is made at Redfield after hear
ing from parties at Doland, that no
such school township exists. The at
torney claims that the bonds were is-
sued to refund one-half of the origin
al $1,000 bonds issued some years
ago by the same township. There
is no record of any bonds having
been issued by Capitola township.
Fictitious names are signed by the
clerk and chairman of the school
board, and the bonds are certified to
by an unknown party under the name
OF Inman. The officials know moth
ing OF the alleged bonds or the indi.
viduals named on them. Much spec.
ulation is INDUCED in as to the ex-
tent of the frauds or who are the cul-
prits. Speculation naturally points
to the defaulting state treasurer, Tay-
lor, who disposed of much paper in
and around Cortland, n. Y. 1t is ex-
pected that more spurious bonds will
come to the surface upon examination.
