ing off to Dakota, taking up a residence
for six months and then applying for a
divorce The law makers up in that
state seem so anxious to get outsiders to
come there and in six months residence
spend some money that they have de-
Cided to encourage such visitors, and
hence easy divorce, by reducing the six
months residence provision to three
months. The legislators probably
argue that their state will now be-
come a popular summer resort, but
such law is extremely pernicious.
1t is wicked and the moral sense of the
newspapers of that state must be very
meager else they would cry out and
condemn a commonwealth for fostering
such an unchristian policy. There is
missionary work needed in foreign lands;
all honor to the men and women who
sacrifice their homes to teach and con
convert the heather, yet when we see
such exhibitions as this of the Dakota
legislature the question arises-is there
not a field for all our missionaries al
home; and does not Dakota offer profit

Easy divorces can easily become the
ruination of our homes. Many of om
states clearly recognize this and pre-

In several of the foreign countries
estranged married couples are locked
up in a room together for certain
period, and this imprisonment is a neces
sary proceeding before any legal actor
can be filed. The result Of this policy il
that nine out of every ten husbands and
wives repair their difficulties and divorces
are few. The more strict the divorce
laws the more wisely and discretely vii
the marriage state be entered into. The
easier the divorce laws the greater the
number of shattered homes.

The chautauoua Idea Expanded.

"Not to know what happened before
we were born is to remain always a
child, remarked Cicero, and Cicero gen.
orally knew what he was talking about.
He knew that there was no study more
important than the study of man, and
what is study Of history but a study
of man? In an estimate of the future,
history is about as important as
are the carefully laid premises to a
conclusion. The past and the future, in
fact, torn syllogism. History has
been called "philosophy teaching by
example" 1t is certainly learning phil
osophy by object lesson. Moreover, it
is judging the future by the only right
eous criterion, by the past. Surely, then,
mot to know what happened before we
were born is to remain always a child. "
To enable every intelligent person to
escape perpetual childhood, what is
known as "The University Association"
has been organized in Chicago for the
purpose of encouraging a systematic
study Of history,
An exchange explains the system Of
work as follows
A corps made up of some of the ablest
instructors has been selected and regu-
lar course mapped out for mutual i'm.
prOvement The scope is wide and the
plan democratic, for every learner
throughout the country is entitled to
membership. The fee is merely nominal
and the entire expense bagatelle. The
study is taken up Systematically under
the direction of an instructor who has
made the period under consideration a
speciality, This instructor prepares
a syllabus Of that particular
period consisting of sixteen
pages, giving outlines for daily
reading. A copy of the syllabus is
mailed to each member monthly. Where
members are areconveniently located, they
may form into a club, meet monthly or
oftener for mutual helpfulness, arrange
courses of lectures on historical subjects
or other entertainments The plan of
organization of the association is elastic.
1t encourages the subject of all other
literary clubs and societies. Its meet.
ings may be enriched by music or patri-
otic exercises of the children. Its course
may be taken at home around the fire
side, in public or i-pnblic gatherings.
The scheme is an outgrowth of the
extension and Chautauqua
idea and can scarcely fail to enlist the
most cordial cooperation among
students everywhere.

IT is decidedly refreshing to see a col
iege or university endowed in the interest
Of women. A few days ago Tufts college
IN Massachusetts, was presented with
seventy thousand dollars by a woman
for the advancement of women. The
endowment provides for course to in
struct women in the duties and privi-
leges Of American citizenship and in the
theory Of the United States government.
This endowment is right in line with the
advance thought of the day, that women
should have the right of suffrage, and to
provide for collegiate instruction along
the lines indicated was a move that will
receive endorsement everywhere. And It
may not be amiss to remark that good
many men who exercise the right of
suffrage simply because they are of the
male pursuasian might proftably take a
course of study in the duties and privi-
deges of American citizenship.

burrows of Kalamazoo" !"

The name of julius Caesar Burrows, of
Kalamazoo, Mich, says an exchange, is
being bruited as that of an eligible presi-
dental candidate for the republican
party, and the first two-thirds Of his
name would certainly do well enough for
coniuring purposes, since it would serve
to recall mighty host eff historical
achievements.
The Burrows appendage would be
something of derogation, however; but
Burrows of Kalamazoo" would have a
bucolic effect which might help the party
to get close to the farmers. Kalamazoo
is great celery center; and
while celery in itself can hardly
be claimed as presidential timber,
stick of it might come in handy to
sooth the nerves of dissonant national
convention. 1t may as well he admitted,
however, that the chances of the Kala.

tial. The other Caesar had his Brutus;
and the Michigan Cesar could scarcely
hope to meet a more enviable fate. His

green leaves; but the chances are a thous.

promise some untimely blizzard will
blow in from Lake Michigan to blight

To those Americans who have looked
upon the emergency of japan from this
war as the arbiters of the Orient, this
view will be extremely startling. Wis
count Wolseley accounts for the present
military status of Japan and China by
the fact that in Japan the soldier has
in all ages headed the list in their scale
of social precedence, while in China he
has long been, and still is, at the foot
of the ladder and universally despised.
Certainly his contempt for the soldiers
profession may explain vast deal Of
China's military ineiliciency. Even the

gentry to draw upon. of the better

clares that they are absolutely indifler

is only four feet, eleven and a hall

Mail Men.

The effort to put postal clerks and
mail carriers on a more substantial foot
| ing appeals to every man, The mail
department Of our government Is very
near to the people and efficiency of
service is one Of the demands that cannot
be ignored. Besides, on account of its
importance, sound business principles
should control it throughout. The bill
that congress is now considering reads
That on and after the passage of this
act no letter carrier, post office clerk or
railway postal clerk shall be removed or
requested to resign Except when ar
rested for crime, when suspen-
sion or removal may take place
at once in the discretion of the
postmaster generaD until after
written charges shall have been preferred
against him, and after the charges shall
have been examined into by the post
Office department upon such reasonable
notice to the person charged and in such
manner of examination as the regula-
tions of the postotliCe department may
prescribe; but letter carriers, pOstotlice
clerks or railway postal clerks may be
suspended by the postmaster general
pending the examination herein pro.
vided for.
There is no politics, rightly considered
in the handling or delivery of mail mat
ter, and political consideration should
have no force either in making of ap-
pointments or removals. Honesty and
fitness should govern the selection Of
postal officials of the classes named in
the pending bill, and removals should
only be made for proven delinquencies
or incapacity. The passage Of this
measure would do much to improve the
efficiency of the service by the retention
of competent and careful clerks and car
riers and their surety against loss of
place except for proven dereictions.

Anxious indeed are many today for
the big French liner Ia Gascogne. Many
ships have put into port on both sides
of the Atlantic but none have heard of
the wanderer. Numerous theories are
advanced concerning her but all are mere
theories; she has been in the track of a
storm fully attesting the tremendous pow
er of the elements when aroused to fury
and the waves may have parted and with
cruel might covered her over forever.
The prayer of world is for her safety
and that she may yet sail proudly into
port
The full extent of the disasters of this
/ storm at sea will never be known. The
broad oceans expanse carried many a
craft that was unable to endure the Wind
and the waves. The fury will abate, the
waves will become still, the waters of the
Atlantic will relapse into peaceful calm,
but beneath that watery waste will be
many unmarked graves.

thought 1t necessary to take the summer
trip. But conditions are rapidly chang
ing and with them new necessities arise.
The old apprenticeship of hefarm which
nearly all our great men underwent
bred Drawn and very often brain of fine
type. But nowadays the population
of the country is settling in the cities,
the new generation is largely city bred,
and the tendency of that typeis towards
physical deterioration Nitiated air, lack
of exercise, finer food and nerve strain
are largely accountable for this result.
As a consequence there is more need to-
day than ever before of summer recrea-
ton and there will be much more need
of it generation or two hence than now
and this need will find expression in
human practice.
