Marriage sim Popular.

1T is always interesting" said q
middle-aged woman Of wide experience,
ITO read up and study the why's and
wherefores OF the various articles on
the subject OF marriage. 1t always
sets me wondering what manner Of
people they must be who look no fur
Their for their authority than the frivo-
lous gossip Of the day. who never take
the trouble to go down into the heart
of Nature and the impulses that govern
humanity. to find out why things are.
Now somebody comes forward and
publishes statistics OF marriage In the
various cities. and bewails the fact
that the proportion Is In some places
much greater than In others. Then
they sigh and mourn over IT, and really
fall to wondering what we all are com
ing to. There seems very little in the
situation 10 wall over. for marrying
and giving in marriage Is going ON ev-
cry day, and there Is no good reason
to suppose that the end Of this is any
where near Counting Is Just as deli
cious nowadays as II was a hundr.M
years ago, carping critics to the con-

A class in economics In a western
university has just been struggling
with the problem. How would you
spend ten thousand dollars? There
are twenty-five men and eleven women
in the class, and they named fourteen
different objects Of expenditure. Edu-
cation was declared to be the first
purpose of the majority. Real estate
was the most favored investment.
Twelve students wanted to travel,
seven proposed to spend some money
for books, the same number made an
appropriation for pleasure, and four
were willing to devote share to
charity" So far as it went, it was
an instructive exhibition, and the only
thing needed to complete the revela-
ton of their characters and training
Is that the same students should an
swer the correlatiye question, How
would you prefer to earn ten thousand
dollars?

ways chances OF disappointments; but
In the main the sweet old story gets
told with quite as much sentiment az
ever. the good-byes are just as hard
to say. and the welcome just as warm.
II seems to me that people might be
q great deal better employed than In
worrying over the decadence of matri-
mony. Every article of this sort that
is put into print Is read by some one
whom II may discourage or all with
forebodings. This sort Of literature Is
bringing about the very condition Of
affairs that 1t deplores. and more's the
pity that those who engage in 1t are
unable to see the mischief they are do

Th.lr An,ha,.

The publication OF a little poa,hu-
NOUS volume Of poems entitled .svox
Humana." the late John Mills. ought
to set at rest the question or the au-
thorship-or, az least, one OF the au-
shors-of the simple epitaph:
His work well done.
His race well run,
His crown well won,
Here let him rest
which was placed over the coffln OF
President Garfield and over that of
the Duke Of Clarence. Mr.. Mills. fl
seems. wrote the lines in 1878 az an
epitaph for his brother, and. never
having published them, was much az
tonished to find them mentioned In
the accounts Of Garfeld's funeral ON
inquiry II was found that the American
copy, which differed slightly from Mr..
Mills poem. had been translated from
Latin version. which was. in its
turn, translation from an English
original. london Chronicle.

In 1880 the south had one-fifteenth OF

rious competitor in cotton manufacture

shown in marked degree, it is dificult
to assign limit to the expansion OF the

The Kentucky Court of Appeals held,
In the case of Waugh vs.. Dignan, that
where the parties to an agreement
have made mistake in reducing their
contract to writing, either through a
mistake which is mutual, or through
the mistake of one party. or through
the mistake Of one party which has
been produced by the other, courts OF
equity will correct the writing to con-
form to the manifest intention of the
parties; that parol evidence Is compe-
tent to establish the terms Of the ORR
ginal agreement and to show fraud or
mistake In the execution of the in
strument, and that one who prevents
happening or performance OF con-
dition precedent. upon which his liabiI-
fly by the terms OF the contact Is
made to depend, can not avail himself
Of his own wrong to relieve himself Of
responsibility to the obligee or be per-
mitted to avoid his liability for the
non-performance of such condition

stoned.

Worry wrecks more lives than work
An outgrowth of one Of the psychology
cal whims of the time is claim of
Don't Worry clubs. Without sub
scribing to all the tenets of these or
CARNATIONS, almost every individual
could better his condition by adopting
and trying to live up to their motto.
The substance OF their belief is beyond
dispute, and may be summarized in few
words: Worry never yet bettered the
condition of any individual; 1t never
yet failed to make worse the condition
of the person given to worrying. There
ought not to be need Of anti-worry So
cieties. The instinct for self-preser-
walton should array humanity in OPP
position to the adversary, worry.
