eNGLANo'S HAPPY MARRIAGES.
Some of Them Are Recorded in the Annals
 of Dumnow Town.

Dumnow, in Essex county, England, has been bringing itself be fore the pub lie again by revival of its fiitch-of- bacon ceremony. Dumnow ought to be able to furnish some answers 70 the great question of how to be happy though married. IL Is the place where il was once ths custom to reward and promote conjugal felicity by giving a fitch of bacon to the couple whoNafter a year of matrimonial experience. could swear that they had not once re- gretted entering the estate commended of St. Paul to be honorable. It appears that even the pious prior of Dumnow, who instituted the custom hundreds of years ago. bad certain modern, scep- tical notions about the success of mar riage. Apparently he was of the opin- ion that there would seldom be many claimants for the prize.
 The number of candidates who filled the conditions have not been many in the whole history of Dumnow, and the presentations of the fitch af bacon have been few and far between. But this year Dumnow revived the custom, and two couples received the award due to those who marry and do not re- gret it One was Dublin magistrate and his wife and the other 8 railroad servant and his wife, from Hertford- shire. The jury was composed of six maidens and SIX young bachelors, and after the trial an operatic cantata, ''Ye Dumnow Flitch, was performed The oath which the winners of the fitch have to take is enough to deter many from proclaiming their married happiness to the world- After the trial. which takes the form of ques- tions and answers in the presence of the assembled multitude, the oath is administered to the happy pair while they kneel upon two hard, pointed rocls-N Y World

The J. :. Clark residence on the corner of 7th and Bruce Sts Is being taken down and will be erected again on the ranch of Capt. Fred Heyne in Fucker canyon. The house was brought from San Francisco in sec tions in 1881 and has been tine scene Of many magnificent gatherings of TOmbstone's 400. When Clark and his family were in clover. q $500 spread to friends of the family was a frequent occurrence.
 "Townsite Clark" as he was iamili- arly known never wanted for any thing in the days when he levied tIi- bute on settlers on Tombstone soil. When his money was gone he went to pieces, and his friends who knew him only for his liberal use O! money de- serted him.
 He died in hospital in Washing ton recently penniless, and without a friend to comfort his last hours.
 When he lived he lived in clover.
 And when he died he died all over.

Dr. !. X. Gilbert. of the Yale psycho- logical laboratory. has completed some tests regarding the mental and phys ical developments of the pupils of the New Haven public school Many of the tests are entirely new. The tests were made on l,2OO boys and girls, varying from to F years of age. He has made series of charts which show that boys are more sensitive to weight discrimination; that girls can tell the difference in color shades better than boys. and that boys think quicker than the other sex. Altogether the charts show that the boys are more suscep- tible to suggestion than girls. The charts show also that both boys and girls between the ages of l2 and IA years are not so bright, quick or strong in proportion, nor do they deve.op as fast as they do before and after those years. The object of the test is to enable teachers to better understand the mental requirements of the pupils.

Poor Endced.

The prospect of relief from drastic cathsrtics for persons troubled with constipation is poor indeed. True they act upon tEe bowels, but they do this with violence, and their opera ton tend to weaken the iDtestines and is prejudicial to the stomach. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is an ef- iectual laxative, it neither gripes nor enfeebles. Furthermore, i. promotes digestion and Q regular action of the liver and the kidneys. IS an fiji cient barrier against and remedy for malarisl complaint and rheumatism and is of great benefit to the weak nervous and aged. As a medicinal stimulant it cannot be surpassed. Physicians cordially recommend it and it's professional indorsement is fully borne out by popular exerpience. Appetite and sleep are both improved by this agreeable invigorant and al terarive.

Government Ownership.

According to the Washington cor
respondents the present congress is
going to take up the question whether
the government should own and oper-
ate the telegraph and telephone lines.
The agitation in favor OF the PROPOSE
ton seems to be gathering strength
Prof Richard Y. Ely of the University
of Wisconsin. who urges government
ownership of the telegraph and tele-
phone systems. insists that IL the
founders OF the republic had conceived
of such a thing as the telegraph they
would have provided in advance for
putting 1t in the postal service system,
IL being one of those businesses classed
by political economists as natural
monopolies."
The advocates OF government owner
ship of the telegraph system cite the
experience of the German government.
which owns and operates the tele-
graphic system of that country, to
prove the advantage of the people OF
government ownership. But there are
arguments on the other side also. With
reference to Professor Efy's opinion.
the Syracuse Courier contends that lit
is quite as probable that the founders
of the republic. had they conceived the
extent to which the postal service sys-
TEN of the government would have
attained would have provided that the
business should be done by private
corporations" While that may be pos
sible. the postal service system OF the
country. as at present conducted. ap-
pears TO be reasonably near perfection
we are not at all sure that the rates
would be as cheap or the service as
satisfactory under private control
1t is not at all likely that the present
