MORALS AND DISEASE.-The close connection
between moral error and mental disease is de-
clared by London journal OF medicine to be a
circumstance that constantly imposes upon the
musician a difficulty OF duplex character in rela-

a very early stage the decay OF the reasoning
faculty and, In like manner, moral insanity de-

CONCERNING MARRIAGE.

Tr9tn the Philadelphia Record.
yhe world Is full of unhappy marriages,
NJ doubt. As Tolstoy declares at the out
4et OF Anna Karenlna." all marriages are
Unhappy; they only differ in the causes of
bnhappiness.. The fact is that no two hu-
imam beings could possibly agree perfectly
In a union of tastes, ideals and sentiments.
Marriage is n sacrifice 5f civilization. Man
and wife should sacrifice each to the other.
and should compromise their inevitable
differences. When either fails to do this
the responsibility, of unhapplness lies at
his or her door. The great trouble Is that
too many rush into marriage or delay too
long. Too many marry through the SEN
sual impulse, upon which Tostoy lays too
great stress In the "Kreutzer Sonata"
Then there are the matrimonial bargains
for money. title or social rank And, An
ally, there urc the mistaken marriages,
due to post-matr;monial deceit or mas
querade. At the altar the mask Is dropped.
Divorces there will always be so long as
men and women shall continue to deceive
But the chief unhappiness Of wedlock
arises not from the institution Of mar
riagc, as the New Woman and "Wo-
man Who Did" novellsts contend. The
fault lies in the reckless and careless view
20 many young people take Of marriage.
The reform must lie In the correction OF
the prevalent abuse Of the institution.
A. forYthe Institution itself, Its sacrcdness
should be redoubled, not broken down.
In the sanctfty Of the home rests the pur-
ity ana the future Of the race.

RAILROAD NOTES.

"Wheelmen who are complaining
against a charge for the transportation
of bicycles may perhaps find some COM
fort in the new ruling" said railroad
official. THE eXactiOn of a fee for
carrying wheels makes the companies
liable for the care Of the machines and
if one is broken through the careless
ness of an employe the road must pay
for it. The charge. therefore, acts as
an insurance on the wheel while in
transit Heretofore on many Western
roads releases eXempting the carrier
from liability In case of damage to
wheels have been required. and the
wheelman whose machine was smashed
in a baggage car had no recourse. The
causes leading up to this charge are
apparent and need no discussion"

Leod will be presented as a candidate
for the Reading presidency at the an

Henry Clews, the Wormsers and other
large New York and London holders

horse in order to admire the beauty of

had spent six months among the fort

understand me.
There was something. however
which pleased me very much less than
the beauty of the forests. and that was
the words and looks of the folk who
lived in the woodland villages. We had

always been excellent friends with the
Germans. and during the last six years
they had never seemed to bear us any
malice for having made a little free
with their country. We had shown
kindness to their men and received
them from the women, so that good
comfortable Germany was second
home to all of us. But now there was
something which ! could not under
stand in the behavior of the people.
The travellers made no answer to my
salute; the foresters turned their heads
away to avoid seeing me, and in the
villages the folk would gather into
knots In the roadway and would scOwl
at me as passed. Even women would
do this, and 1t was something new for
me in those days to see anything but a
smile in wonan's eyes when they were
turned upon me.

just ten miles out Of Altenburg, that
the thing became most marked. I had
stopped at the little inn here just to
dampen my mustache and to wash the
dust out of poor Violette's throat 1t
was my way to give some little compli-
ment, or possibly kiss, to the maid
who served me, but this one would have
neither the one nor the other, but darted
glance at me like a bayonet thrust.
Then when l raised my glass to the
folk who drank their beer by the door
they turned their backs on me, save
only one fellow. who cried Here's q

ter tt" At that they all eihptied their
beer mugs and laughed, but 1t was not
a laugh that had good fellowship in it.
! was turning this over in my head
and wondering what their boorish con-
duct could mean, when saw, as rode
from the village, a great r w-carved
upon a, tree. l had already seen more

had given no thought to them until
the words of the beer drinker gave them
