NOVEL READING.
An Excessive Amount of IL Is Declared te
Militate Against Marriage

a
A writer in a monthly review, dis
cussing Mr. Balfour' 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
" debilitating Is proved by one series Of
facts which are observable i'll 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 youug very
few nlcn 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 i that il would
be vastly better Tor both men ard wum-
en- to read novels for recreation only.
and when at work To read solid books
which really exercise and develop the
brain. IN rracticc the result Of this
would be that hsth men and women
would have better and stronger brains
They would marry earlier and with moro
courage. They woUld face the world
more hopefully and successfully, aEd
they would become the parents Of whole
somer, healthier. happier and more ca
pable children. English Paper

sAMso's NARROW ESCAPE.
The Enumeration Was Not Complete
Enough to Convict Him.

1t il not strange that the southern col
ored man has vague and mistaken no
tions about property rights He and his
ancestors were for ages enslaved and
had no rights whatever, even to their
own persons Therefore all they could
gain was through treachcry and deceit,
and it is only natural that these traits
bred by slavery remain as inherited char
acteristics, now that the negro enjoys
