due to a large number of factors. no one
of which was more powerful and potent
to the victory OF the republican party In
that state than was the existence OF a
leader in the democratic party of Gov

Howorth's Theory With Regard to the

Howorth's Theory With Regard to the
Remains Found Ia Siberia.
In Howorth book, entitled THE
Mammoth and the Flood, the author
advances a unique theory with regard
TO the remains Of themammoth, or hairy
elephant, which is found in such i'm.
mense numbers in Siberia These croa.
lures were 30 plentiful gt one time in
that country that ivory hunters found it
more profitable 70 90 there in search Of
that valuable article than 20 South AT

as numerous rs boodlera in New York
city Howorth says that they are inva.
riably found under conditions which
make il certain that they could not have
lived unless the surroundings and CHI
mate had been entirely different from
those existing at present. The remains
of plants upon which they fed and the
southern contemporary shells which are
also frequently found with the remains
point to a sudden and wonderful change
of climatic conditions.
If Professor Howorth' argument Is
to be given any weight, the Siberian
plateau is one of the most recent fea'
lures in the known physical geography
of the world. He figures that the pla
teau was suddenly raised to its present
height, and that prior to its sudden ele
walton, it was warm stretch OF low
land furnishing pasturage to thousands
of mammoth brutes. The rapid eleva
ton, according to his deductions, sud

the gigantic animal bodies through anl

VIEWS OF MARRIAGE.
It Consummates Life--No Single Life Is
the Perfect One,

It Consummates Life-No Single Life Is
the Perfect One.
We hear young men say, &C. am too
poor to get married, and girls, 1.-THE
man | marry must be rich F" These re.
marks appear harmless, and they may
have certain business shrewdness be-
hind them Still the larger truth is that
the speakers most often do not take an
honest view Of marriage, no matter how
honorable may be their purposes. Money
cannot insure happiness, and long ex-
perimenting i'll the countries of Europe
has shown that mating for wealth is the
sure road to a lax and immoral domes-
tic economy. 1t would seem that the
sensible view to take Of marriage Is
that it consummates life for the poor
and the rich. the vulgar and the refined;
that no single life is the perfect life.
The future of mankind depends almost
wholly upon happy marriages and
healthy offspring, And this suggests
that there should be no marrying OF un-
sound people. Greater selfishness cannot
be imagined than that which brings
children into the world doomed TO life
of immitigable misery, the hereditament
of those who bear their parents burden
of disease Shall we say that questions
arise in this connection too delicate or
discussion with young persons? Is II
better to leave the discussion to be
raised after it is too late?
The sensible view of marriage is the
view that comprehends every conse-
uuence TO the young people looking
forward to q long and happy weddec
life it is of vital Importance that no ele
meut of the subject shall be mystery
that nothing connected with the matri
monial venture shall be left to the haz
ard of chance Parents must understand
that their children are to be parents
that there is no escape from the response
bility, and that education is incomplet
and training inadequate which does no
qualify for paternity and maternity
The young man and the young womal
who are fitted for marriage are fitte
for all that healthy, courageous an
happy life demands or imposes. Chan

HIS LAST POEM.


IN the highlands, in the country places,
Who're the old plain men have rosy faces
And the young fair maidens
Quiet eyes;
Whore essential silence cheers and blesses,
And forever in the Hill recesses
Her more lovely music
Broods and dies
Oh, TO mount again where erst haunted,
Where the old red hills are bird enchanted.
And the low green meadows
Bright with sward.
And when evening dies the million tinted,
And the night has come, and planets glinted,
Lo. the valley hollow
Lamp bestarred
Oh, 10 dream, oh, 70 awake and wander
There, and with delight 10 take and render
Through the trance of silence
Quiet breath
Lo for there, among the flowers and grasses
Only the n.ightier movement sounds and
passes,
Only winds and rivers.
Life and death
