this unrestrained gaiety and gladness
and enjoyment there was n shadow In
the smile on the sweet-faced little
woman whose gracious. kind saluta-
tions were given to all alike. This de-
voted, patient loving wife-the highest
type of a good. pure, womanly Chris
tian woman-flled tender place in
every heart in the great hosts of people
who will always recall the beautiful
picture of lovcliness and wifely duty
as they passed her by with simple
bow. There was a silent prayer in
every tender heart that her noble.
Christian life may be spared to comfort
and bless the man whose tender love
and gentle devotion. whose sweet and
thoughtful companionship has made
the wife a happy contented woman.

Professor William G.. Sumner, Of
Il the department of social science
at Yale university, believes that
30 per cent. of the marriages of the
present day turn out unhappily, the
fact has no other bearing than as in
dicating how a bright mind can occa-
sionally be led astray.
There are many unhappy maria ges,
too many of them; and Professor sum
ner does well to advise the young men
under his instruction to exercise, In
the choice of life partners, not less
than the deliberate and anxious care
they would exercise if selecting part
ner in a business venture. When he
| says that many marriages are care
!essly contracted, he speaks the truth.
F, When he implies that passing infatua-
ton is often mistaken for sincere af-
fection and affinity he is equally with
| in bounds. But he has no data to
| prove that only 10 per cent. of modern
| marriages are reasonably happy. He
| can offer no justification for so sweep
| ing an assertion.
Happiness, of course, is relative
term. The happiness of modern mar
| riage is not unyeXed; life does not
| vouchsafe to any mortal, whether sim
gle or welded, uninterrupted and per-
feet felicity. But if Professor Sumner
means that in 90 per cent. or even a
majority of marriages the parties
| in contract are less happy than
they would have been had the
matrimonial partnership not been
formed, we do not see in what man.
ner he can support such statement
| 1t is true that there are divorces ana
scandal and wanton unfaithfulness and
that these. being much talked about
seem larger than they really are, espe-
cially since the men and women VINO
are contented and faithful in wediock

success of their matrimonial expert
| ment. But the professor OF social sell
encc at Yale university is man VINO
should discriminate.

approaching SpTlHS ana sum-
~ mer will see busy times in the
building trades in Scranton.
Last years labor troubles spoiled that
seasons prospects and much of the
building then postponed has already
been or soon will be contracted for, the
work to be begun this coming spring.
If the new tin plate mill shall be
pushed vigorously it will attract to the
city within the year large number of
families who will increase the demand
for homes and greatly stimulate build
ing operations. The construction of
three such magnificent buildings as the
proposed large printing plant Of the
International Correspondence schools.
the new armory and the Young Mems
Christian association building is certain
to lend an appreciable impetus to real
estate values throughout the city as
We'll as throw into active circulation
considerable amount of money. The
improvements planned for Nay Aug
park the opening to purchase of large
tracts Of land hitherto fenced in by
some of the large corporations, and
the sums to be expended in viaduct
and sewer construction if the majority
at tomorrows election shall favor these
necessary Improvements are additional
indications favorable to a season Of
more than ordinary business activity.
1t is noteworthy that the local archi-
tects have been busy on new plans for
months past, that the dealers in build
ing materials and supplies have ordered
heavily in anticipation of rushing
spring demand, and that the expecta-
tions of those who keep watch upon
such matters are high.
Presidential campaigns are common
ly believed to be detrimental to busi-
ness and in some localities they un-
doubtedly are. They do not however.
appreciably affect Scranton. So far as
local business goes, the outlook here is
most cheerful and it will be greatly
improved If the pending application for
charter for the Delaware Valley and
Kingston railroad shall be favorably
passed upon and an outlet secured for
the anthracite coal product of the
Lackawanna valley on terms which
must largely increase breaker time and
thus swell the volume of wages In con-
nection with the mining and depend
ent industries. Sober counsel seems to
have prevailed among the men who
We're meditating a strike in our mines !:
for the present this danger is past, and
1t will not reappear if employees and
employers shall consult their mutual
interests and meet each other, from
a time to time, in frank and honest ad-
" justment of differences. The alarm
~ created by disclosure of the possible
removal of the local steel rail industry

removal is yet to be considered amone

unlikelihood that such a move will be

ceptionally bounteous season of WELL
diffused prosperity in our city and in
Its environs.

w = H11.E THERE has in the
AN discussion of forestry
topics been much pos
itiveness of assertion 10
the effect that destruction OF timber
tends to increase spring and fall floods
and to produce greater extremes OF
wet and dry weather, there has not,
to our knowledge, been a definite Off.
cial test of this matter. One Is soon
to be made.
The division of forestry in the United
states department of agriculture has,
1t Is announced, selected Southern
California as the field for an exhaus-
tive series of measurements and in
vcstigations for the purpose of secur-
ing accurate knowledge Of the relation
of forests to the run-off OF streams.
The division has chosen the watershed
which embraces the sources of the
Mohave river, in the San Bernardno
mountains. as the best center for eX-
periments. The work will embrace 4
comprehensive study of the present
forest cover, considered in relation to
streams. The area selected contains,
we are told, three distinct types-the
Holcomb shed, q brush covered dis
trict; the Little Bear shed, which has
been denuded by numbering, and the
Deep Creek shed, still covered with
heavy virgin forest. These areas are
under the control of the Arrowhead
| Irrigation company, which has kept
| twenty-eight rainSauge stations in
| operation for seven years, and has also
| measured the flow of the streams dur
| ing that time: so that the government
| experts will have much data already
on hand. The soil is similar on all por-
tions, and the geological formation
uniformly granite. The rainfall on
the forested and logged-off tracts is
practically the same. 1t is believed
that conditions are so nearly similar
throughout the region that the obser-
| vations will be as instructive Us IL
made on the same tract before and
after numbering. The effects Of graz
ing and fires will also be noted.
1t is entirely consistent with reason
to believe that forest areas absorb and
hold rainfall 50 as materially to retard
the outflow of streams and to assist
in the natural irregation Of cultivated
lands But to know exactly the facts In
the premises is obviously desirable.
| This test will have universal interest.
