Mafrrmony and Brains.


1t would seem, according to tho
opinions Of some educators, that there
ought to be written over the gates of
matrimony, or at least over the Ia
dies entrance" to that happy state, the
words: Abandon brains all we who
enter here!" for matrimony and brains
are incompatible This subject is q
rather bare bone of contention, and It
Is one that does not admit of broad
generalization. There are many wo-
men who seem to have reconciled hus-
bands and higher education; there are
others who with that needed qualiflca-
tion for matrimonial happiness, lack
of brains. are still unable to make
success of that state; and there are
women who are successful in life with
out either the husbands or the educa-
ton.
A sociologist of some repute, Lester
F. Ward, says that one who knows
anything of the laws of biology must
insist upon the equal development OF
both sexes. ANY theory of develop
ment." he says, that recognizes the
fact of the transmission of acquired
qualities must expect that where only
one parent has acquired such qualities
the offspring will only inherit one-half
of them. If the full value of the en-
ergy expended in comforting useful
qualities is to be realized in the Off
spring. they must be conferred equally
upon both parents" Mr.. Ward fur
ther says that, while the female mind
differs from the male in many impor-
tant and fortunate respects, intellect
is one and the same everywhere. and
that the proper nourishment of intel
lect is truth. 1t seems rather late in
the day for those who claim to be edu-
Gators to advance the theory that only
by starving the mind is woman fit
for the high state of matrimony.

People and
~ EDer1fS
Christian Endeavor Grotvs.

In the ten years from 1890 to 1900
the population of the United States in
creased from 62,622, ,250 to 76,304, ,799-
gain of not quite 81 per cent. In
the ten years from 1891 to 1901 the
Christian Endeavor societies, whose
annual convention has just ended, in
creased their membership from one
million to four million-a gain of 300
per cent. Not quite all of this is in
America, for the Christian Endeavor
societies have been planted in all lands,
but it needs only simple mathemati-
cal calculation to show that if these
relative rates of increase keep up it
will be but n matter of twenty-five
years or so until all the inhabitants of
the United States become Endeavorers,
and in less than fifty years the socie-
ties will include the entire population
of the globe. But without waiting for
that consummation we may congratu-
late ourselves upon the vigor Of an Or
ganization whose sole purpose is to
work for good. That four million
young people can be found to act with
single one of the many bodies formed
to elevate the world is pretty fair set
off to the selfish commercialism that
is doing SO much to drag mankind
down.

Carriers to Sell Money Orders.

form of money order books, whereby
carriers will be able TO take money
from patrons, issue them n receipt, pur-
chase money orders NJ the end of their

purchasers, or turn them over next

order system that II is hoped may

when he turns the money over to the

EXCESSIVE HEAT in THE WEST
MISSOURIANS PRAY FOR RAIN

st. Louis, July 21.-On this. the day
that Governor Dockery designated for
fasting and prayer to God that the
present drOuth may be broken in Mis-
souri,. the highest records ever attain
ed in st. Louis were equaled, the wea-

tering 106 degrees in the shade. On
the streets and in exposed places the
mercury went many degrees higher.
The record equals that of 106 made in
the early sos.
AS early as n. IN. the day gave
promise of being unusually warm. All
the time the thermometer registered
ninety degrees, and from then on un-
til $50 p. III. the mercury steadily
climbed upward under the impulse of
n fierce sun shining from cloudless
sky. Hardly Il breath of air stirred all
day and the little that did circulate
came as n draught from furnace, so
intensely hot was it. Those who dared
to leave their homes Went for comfort
to the parks. which were thronged all
day. and late into the night with thous-
ands of suffering humanity.
The governors proclamation was
very generally needed. nearly every
church in the city holding well attend
ell services given up to prayer that the
drouth might be broken.
Two victims of the heat We're found
dead in bed. There were n number of
prostratons, two of which may prove
fatal.
During the day the relative humidity
as reported by the weather bureau
ranged between thirty and fisty-two
degrees.
