An Excessive Amount of It IL Declared To
MnItato Against Marriage.
A writer in a monthly review. dis
cussing Mr. Balfour's Foundations Of
Belief, takes occasion 70 say that solid
books. dealing with the great problems
Of mind and morals. are no longer read
except by a few specialists. That an ex-
elusive diet ~ novel reading is extreme
ly debiltating 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 rs
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 10 women, in

but they do not marry women Of their
own age. They marry young women.
The physiological moral Is that il would
be vastly better for both men and WON
en- to read novels for recreation only,
and when at work 70 read solid books
which really exercise and develop the
brain. 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

A Story Of Ransom.

The Warrington Post tells story H.
lustrating the politeness of Minister
Ransom. One day, when he was in the
senate, an he was going down the cap
itol steps, he saw approaching a very
dull, long wlnded man. Ransom was
alarmed. He was in no mental or phys
ical shape to bear the brunt of a full
dedged bore just at that moment. He
must do something to save himself. As
the dull one drew near, Ransom, i'll his
desperation, greeted him with short
ness and hurried by. The other had
paused, but at this brief dismissal, as it
were, turned away up the steps. Ran
som was smitten of conscience at his
own rudeness. 1t was foreign TO his pO-
lite and flowery instincts. He must do
something to take the soreness out Of
the man. Ransom lurned pleasantly
when some ten steps separated him from
the bore and called out "Goodby,
Simpkins I've been thinking mighty
heap about you lately, Simpkinsr - At
this Simpkins began to betray symp-
toms Of returning. but don't come
back, Simpkins, demonstrated Ran
som, wildly mOtioning with both hands.

ConklinK and Thurman.

Senator Roscoe COnkling was once
addressing the senate III an impassioned
manner and seemed to direct his re-
marks to Senator Thurman. At length
the latter got irritated.
"Does the senator from New York, -
he roared. expect me to answer him
every time he turns to me?'
For a moment Mr. Conkling hesitat-
ed, and every body expected terrific ex-
plosion. Then with an air of exquisite
courtesy he replied:
when speak Of the law, turn to
the senator from Ohio as the Mussu Imam
turns toward Mecca. l turn to him as
do to the English common law as the
worlds most copious fountain of hu-
man Jurisprudence.
The usually decorUus senate broke in
to storm Of applause, and the Thur
man eye moistened little. 1t is ever a
pleasure to be complimented, but to be
complimented as a lawyer by Roscoe
Conkling-that was praise indeed. The
two statesmen were the best of friends
