On April IS, according to the an
nouncement, the Paris exposition will
be opened. The
American exhibit,
representing over
1000 firms, will be fair in itself. Not
less than 10000 Americans have been
engaged for permanent services on the
grounds. American women will take
a more prominent part than in any
former French exposition. Mrs. Pot
ter Palmer is commissioner and juror
of awards; Mrs. May Wright Sewan
and Mrs. Lowe, of Atlanta, are delegates
appointed by President Mckinley, and
Mrs. Daniel Manning will represent the
Daughters of the Revolution at the
unveiling of the Lafayette monument
in Paris. Undoubtedly this interna-
tional fair has had much to do with
keeping Europe quiet at critical time.
One leading clergyman goes so far as
to say that Providence has tied up
the hands of Russia in the great trans
Siberian railway, and those of France
in the great Paris exposition, thus
saving humanity from the horrors of
a European war" 1t is a new triumph
for worlds fairs of the highest order
to find them doing more to advance the
cause of peace than is accomplished by
any other agency

A Gray Day.

Within the woodlands somber depth
A faint, sweet note awakes and dies:
And sadly through the swaying boushs
The west wind on its mission sighs;
While csoudy billows northward roll
Across the low, gray skies.
The sounds that made the woodland gay
Awhile-as if with grief-are mute;
The Iinnet has no heart to sing,
And silent is the blackbird'S flute;
Nought stirs save that faint note of song
And sad Aeolian lutte.
Sam Wood, in Chambers Journal.

A Yale lecturer on social science
has just declared to his classes that
r,n..,o a 90 per cent. of all
marriages nova
days are unhappy
in their results, and that the marriage
ceremonies should be simplifed so
that persons intending matrimony
should merely go before witnesses
and declare their intentions. 1t is no
wonder that these strange sentiments,
as the dispatches state, caused
marked sensation among the students.
The lecturer had laid down the prem
Use that the average young man of
to-day considers marriage as the nat
ural and inevitable condition of life
and chooses helpmate without wait
Ing for the evolution of his true ideal
and its realization. The consequence,
according to the social science think
er, is there are many hasty marriages
which do not attain the true state of
welded bliss and the divorce courts
do the rest. Notwithstanding, he
would make marriage easier by sim
plifying the forms and thus remove
even the present slight barrier be-
tween celibacy and matrimony. If he
would at the same time contriye to
make divorce correspondingly more
difficult, says a Washington Star edi-
torial, he would be nearer a solution
of whatever problem now exists in
the social state. No amount of aca-
demic lecturing will change the trend
of average human thought toward the
matrimonial ideal, although it has
been asserted in some directions that
the more general and more liberal ed
ucation of the young people of to-day
is tending toward the disbursement
of matrimony, to the great concern
Of some sociologists. The necessity
for reform lies not in these higher
planes of intelligence, but along the
lower lines, where the intellect has
not yet attained sufficient force to
lecturer to the contrary notwithstand-
ing, the fate of the nation rests not
with the young men whom he is adj
dressing, or their university associ-
aates, there and elsewhere, but with
the masses of men and women un-
reached by the ethical culture, who
WOO and wed without thought of the
ideals bred in the atmosphere of
classic evolution. Indeed, it may well
be questioned whether in his ardor
to impress group of students with
startling dogma, this professor of
social science has not exaggerated the
situation, as is often the case with
theorizers who can neither be sup
ported nor refuted by statistics. Ex-
act figures of the happiness of homes
are, of course, utterly impossible. Ex-
act definition of unhappiness in the
marriage relation is likewise impos-
sible. 1t is therefore unfortunate that
this solemn pronouncement should be
given the apparent authority of an
academical statement, while all palpa-
BILE evidence is that the human fam
lily is satisfactorily married, and only
needs a more uniform law regulating
marriage and divorce to sustain and
advance an already high standard of
matrimonial fidelity and happiness.
If this be sample of the present
drift of the higher education the
general plea will be for a return to
perhaps lower but assCreddy safer
lines of human development.

In Memoriam.

Mrs Mary Frances Knott departed this
life March l, 1900, at 2 o'clock, A. M, at
the home of her brother, Thomas Il. Clagett,
near Rockville, Md.
She was a loving mother, devoted daugh-
ter and a kind sister. She could say what
very lew could, that she had never disoeyed
her mother. She was kind and charitable
neighbor, and always greeted every one with
bright smile and kind words. Her life
was one of self.sacrltice. She always thought
of others comfort and pleasure first, and was
ever ready to extend helping hand TO the
needy.
During her last illness her sufferings were
intense OF both body and mind, which she
bore with Christian lortitude, although low
ing hands administered all assistance to
alay her suffering which was possible to do.
She was consistent member of the Catho
lie Church, and practiced her holy religion
all through life, and particularly during her
many trials and fluctuations. She received
the last sacraments before she died. What
a comfort and consolation to her afflicted
ones to see her so calm and resigned TO her
fate, as she lately said she was only wait
ing to die
Her funeral took place 5 lturday morning
al IL o'clock at st. Mary's Church, Rockville,
where Requiem Mass was said Tor the re
pose OF her soul by Father Cunnane. Her
remains were followed to their last resting
place by "A large concourse o: relatives and
