regarding the future welfare of the associa-
ton. A board of directors meeting was
held on Tuesday evening at which it was
supposed it would be voted to close the
rooms on May 1st on account Of lack of
financial support. After review of the
work that has been done during the past
year and the absolute need of Just this
kind of work in Bellows Falls, no such vote
could be taken.
The association has not been in any
great financial difficulty whatever, there
beng less than $3.50 Of unpaid bills on
hand partly covered by subscriptions but
some of the business men and those who
should be most interested in the welfare oil
our young men have not supported the
work as they should Notwithstanding the
fact, the directors voted to continue the
association, and we expect at an early date
to be able to guarantee its existence. for
some years to come. The SECRETARY.

Marriage in primitive times was no
family or personal arrangement, but an
institution of the community. II we
realize this, many hitherto unexplained
customs connected with it become at
once of significance. The members of
primitive communities were bound to-
gether by common interests and duties;
every member of clan was bound to
consider the rights of his fellow and to
assist him even to his own hurt. Aid
and succor were indispensable for CON-
munal necessities, therefore the mar
riage of a son or daughter in every
small commonwealth was matter for
public consideration. The first step that
ed to matrimony in those remote times
Y as to capture wife or to purchase a
wife. N this the whole tribe assisted,
and then joined as of right in the fes-
tivities that gradually grew round the
marriage ceremony. In short, in those
days the individual was ignored and
had no existence save as one of a group
Surely we may consider that this led
to the necessity for the lord of the man
ors sanction to his tenants marriage in
feudal times, the lords of the manor in
the middle ages having appropriated to
themselves many of the rights of the
tribal authorities of primitive times. In
feudal times no girl could be married to
any one out of the manor without the
good will of the lord of the soil, and an
heiress could not be married at all with
out his consent. In some instances fines
had to be paid by the BRIDES father, or
whoever stood to her in the place of a
father, for leave to give her in marriage
to stranger .-Philadelphia Ledger.
Disparity.
"Miss Wellalong refused an offer of
marriage from rich man last week?
That beats me- She can t afford to wait
much longer. She's 40 if she's day. F"

though, to tell the man who wanted to
marry her that she feared the disparity
between their ages was too great.

A War Revenue Measure.

The members Of the ways and means
committee of the House are busily engaged
with the treasury officials in the work pre-
liminary to the drafting of war revenue
measure to be introduced in congress
Immediately upon the opening OF hostilities
with Spain. An increase IN the internal
revenue tax on beer from 81 to SO barrel,
and large increase in the tax on manu-
featured tobacco, including cigars and cigar
cites, has been practically agreed upon.
Bank checks, bills of exchange, drafts,
deeds, mortgages, and other paper of this
class, patent medicines, and nostrums in
all probability also will be added to the
list
A rough estimate OF the receipts to be
derived from these sources is that the
increase on these articles alone will approx
innate, if not exceed, $100, 100000 year.
Beer, it is thought, will produce an in
crease of $50, 000.0 900; manufactured to-
baccc, an increase of $50, 100000 or more,
and commercial paper and patent medicines
S32 100000. Another source of revenue
which, it is said, is almost certain to be
availed of is transactions in railroad and
other listed stocks. 1t is believed that the
returns from this source will be large. In
all the figuring SO far, the remaining indus.
tries and the professions, which were taxed
for strictly war revenues during the rebel
lion, have been left out of the account
An increase of from two cents to three
cents on letter postage and tax on gas
and electric light has also been suggested
to the department, but these items have
not yet been considered. The increase Of
one cent an ounce on letter postage prob.
ABLY would augment the receipts by $780,.
000,0 year.
A bill providing for temporary loan Of
S100,000,000 and permanent loan Of
from $30O,O00,00O to $500 100000 a,
3 per cent payable in coin has been pre-
pared by the ways and means committee
and will be Immediately introduced in case
of war. The whole question of the finances
of the government, in view of probable
hostilities, is being carefully considered by
the treasury officials, so that definite and
well thought out plan of operations may
be at the disposal of Congress in case OF
need.
