MARRIAGE FOR MONEY.

DIR. Parkhurst on the Tendency to Degrade
Marriage to the Level of Commerce.
81 cannot dismiss this matter without
deprecating the tendency so conspicu-
ously operative among us to degrade
marriage to the level of commerce,
writes the Rev. Charles FL. Parkhurst,
d. D., in The Ladies' Home Journal in
paper on ''The Young Man and Mar
riage. % ''This is not denying that there
are material considerations that in this
matter, as in all others, require to be re-
spected. A poor young man marrying a
poor young girl, with only the prospect
that their life will become more and
more complicated as time goes on, is a
fool. l have had affectionate couples
wait upon me to be married and then
ask me to trust them for the wedding
fee. think that we who are clergymen
ought to refuse to marry applicants who
cannot show to our satisfaction that
there is no likelihood that either they
or their possible offspring will ever
come upon the town.
Nor, on the other hand, does my
objection lie against any amount Of
contingent assets with which either Or
both of the contracting parties may
chance to be endowed. My only conten-
ton is that in every marriage not es-
sentially unholy the basal element is
love, and that marriages which are ar
ranged, marriages which mean, first
of all, an affair of perquisites or bar
ter in commodities, are distinct in
fraction upon the spirit of the seventh
commandment. The voluminous dis
plays with which we know such unions
to be sometimes celebrated only aggra-
yate the mischief and operate to teach
our young people in ali conditions of
life that marriage may be reduced to a
species Of traffic, differing from the
dealings on the Stock or Produce Elk
changes only in some of the details with
which the bargain is contaminated.
Such examples are distinctly alien to
the entire genius of the institution of
marriage -

the evidence was sufficient, never have

A Dangerous View of Life.

We are constantly confronted with
the fact that neither material advan-
tages nor intelligence nor education nor
even a good moral record is proof
against disloyalty to life. Many causes
are adduced, grief, shame, remorse, de-
spair being among the most numerous.
But perhaps the foundation cause
which underlies all others may be said
to be the common habit of thinking that
life is to be valued only for the happi
ness it yields. Many people grow up
with the idea that if personal life be
not personally happy is useless. Thus,
when they come to some epoch when
sorrow triumphs over joy, failure over
success, pain over pleasure, life loses all
meaning to them and is easily parted
from. This view of life is essentially
untrue and most injurious. New York

story about him?
"Bin once sat on jury in one of my
first cases. 1t was an assault and bat
terry case The trouble came up over the
attempt to build a fence across high
way. There were two defendants and
four prosecuting witnesses The trial
was held at the home of the justice OF
the peace, clapboard little house right
out in cornfield. We couldn't find 12
men in the township, SO we agreed to a
jury of six. The Justices wife stood in
tated all the rulings.
''They didn't make any case against
us-my partner and I appeared for the
defense-but we knew the jurymen
wanted their fees, and they wouldn I
get any if the defendants won. So we
were not very hopeful.
''The six jurymen went out into the
cornfield to deliberate. They were gone
about two hours and then brought in a
verdict of guilty and fined each of the
defendants So and COSTS The jury was
about to be discharged when my partner
jumped up and said to one of the jury
men: Say, who are you? I don't re-
member seeing you before. Then the
foreman spoke up and said: That's all
right Bill Traynor couldn't wait. He
went off home, and we got Joe here to
take his place.
"That's a fact. Bill had put in a
subs titute on the jury after they got out
in the cornfeld. The justice said it was
all right anyway, SO long as there was
majority of the jury present, but I
got up and threatened to sue him on his
bond, so he got scared and set aside the
verdict and discharged our clients.

Traynor was up before me for stealing
steer, and l made the instructions to
the jury rather favorable to him, and
he was acquitted. You see, l had a
friendly feeling for him because he had
helped me to win one of my first cases. .

Butter and Cream as Medicine.

One of the favOrite remedies of ply
sicians is cod liver oil, and why is one
of the mysteries of the world of medi-
cine, when all there is about it is an oil
Oh fatty substance is wanted that is
easily digested and quite as easily as
simulated, fish oil being appropriated
with a small outlay of digestive power.
Why cod liver oil, product of the de-
composition of fish refuse, should ever
have been CHANGED upon when butter
and cream are natures supply and at
once the most readily obtainable is I'M
explainable. While any one can take
cream or butter the consuming of fish
oil requires the fOrtitude of saint and
the heroism of martyr, and, as we
know, the oil does not agree with many
and is hard of digestion III others. Now,
it has been demonstrated that fresh, IN
sailed butter is rather more digestible
than oil and is pleasant to take, on
thinly cut slices of bread, and as high
as four ounces a day of this butter can
be eaten with impunity by even deli
cate persons, and cream can be taken to
the full desire of the patient. Where
one is recovering from Frustrating sick

Noble Ends.

When there is choice of roads to ar
rive at certain goal, it is not always
the shortest which should be chosen.
The desire for money is legitimate
one, for money is the key which unlooks
many opportunities. But the ways
which men take to acquire it are too
numerous to recount and differ with
every difference of character. There are
men who firmly resolve to obtain wealth
by whatever means they think will ac-
complish their end. They will get all
they can and give as little as possible
for it. All such unfairness is practical
robbery. The winner is the robber; the
loser is the robbed. Both are injured
the one in his property, the other in his
oharacter-whilet the community is like
wise impoverished. But directly you

BICYCLE GRIPS.
The Habit of Holding the Handle Bar at
the Center.

Assume, If you please, that the grips
are properly placed at the ends of the
handle bar, from IL to Is inches apart,
and that the proper place for the riders
hands is on the grips. The fact remains
that the average rider seldom touches
his grips in riding, but grips the naked
bar on either side of and close to the
top OF the steering head. Are we to in
fer from this that the standard of handle
bar construction is all wrong and that
the grips should be at the top of the
bar and not more than eight inches
apart, or that she bar should be left
long to meet the exigencies of rough
riding, while the material of which the
grips are made should cover the entire
bar up to within an inch or two of the
center, or that it would be we'll to have
a pair of supplementary grips at the
place indicated by the position assumed
by the rider, or what?
Undoubtedly the present standard
handle bar is correct. The average
rider, for ole thing, has his grips drop
ped SO low that he cannot reach them
conveniently, SO that his easiest position
is with his hands on the top Of the bar,
and again many riders, with level or up
turned bars, who are able to reach their
grips comfortably, have acquired the
habit of grasping the nickel in defer
ence to the popular idea. We think that
every rider is obliged at times to use
his grips. Full handle bar leverage is
necessary whenever steering is rendered
difficult by rough surface or otherwise.
At such times every rider finds that the
standard bar comes in handy Supple
mentary grips would detract measure
bly, from the trim appearance of the
handle bar, and it may be doubted
whether cyclists as class would toIer-
ate them. A bar entirely covered with
cork or other grip material would speed
lily become soiled and make sorry
looking object in comparison with the
bright nickeled bar American Cyclist.

1t Was Administered to Him by DIR. Nor
ton In 1876.
Some interesting facts regarding the
first patient under ether are told by Dr.
Samuel A Green in his Groton Histor-
zeal Series
The subject was Ebenezer Hopkins
Frost, native of Groton, now dead,
who is well remembered by many per-
sons i'll Boston. He was a son of Solo
mon and Doroas (Hopkins) Frost and
was born on Dec. z, 1924. He became
noted as a singer and teacher of vocal
music, and was member of the Han
del and Haydn society of Boston.
DR.. Morton first tried on himself the
experiment of inhaling ether, and in
describing the effect it produced he said +:
Delighted with the success of this
experiment, l Immediately announced
the result to the persons employed in
my establishment, and waited impa-
tiently for some one upon whom I could
make fuller trial Toward evening a
man residing in Boston came in suffer
ing great pain and wishing to have a
tooth extracted. He was afraid of the
operation, and asked if he could be mes
merized. I told him I had something
better, and saturating my handkerchief
gave it to him to inhale. 1t was dark
and DR.. Hayden held the lamp while I
extracted a firmly rooted bicuspid tooth.
''There was not much alteration in
the pulse and no relaxation of the mus
cles He recovered in minute, and
knew nothing of what had been done to
him. He remained for some time talk
ing about the experiment. This was on
the Both of September, 1916. I consid-
cred it to be the first demonstration of
this new fact in science. l have heard
of no one who can prove an earlier dem
onstration. II any one can do SO, I yield
to him the point of priority of time. %
Immediately after the operation Frost
gave certificate corroborating the state
ments and signed himself as then living
at 40 Prince street, Boston. Nearly 20
years afterward he died at Fitchburg,
On Sept. z, 1865.
