ed on the point Of Lookout Noun

is to be entirely Of the finest pol
ished Vermont granite, interior of

The monument will be about

lar steps, about fifteen, fifty feet
in diameter ut the first step, lead
up to the base of the monument.
On these steps, withan intervening

the welfare of the individual, d
society and Of the state is besl
served BY marriage, and by early
marriage, too, says Cyrus 9. Ad
Jams, in Ainslee's. The fact has
been established for forty years
that the death rate among all mar
ried men over 20 years Of age il
less than among unmarried men;
and that the death rate among alI
married women over 25 years Of
lage il less than that among un-
married women. The home being
the cornerstone Of civilized life,
society il enriched by the multi
plication-of homes, and impover-
ished when they are not in normal
proportion to the total population.
Only within the past few years
has worldwide attention been
drawn to the startling fact that
the weIl-being OF q mighty nation
is menaced by the predominance
Of celibacY. More than half the
men and half the women Of France
are unmarried. The foreign Inn
migration into France is to-day
greater than the natural increase
Of It's own people. The excess Of
births over deaths in any year
among those many millions
amounts to only about one half Of
the population Of Newark, N. j..
The result is that while other ma
tions of Europe are rapidly in
creasing il population, France is
almost stationary. While, a centu-
|ry ago, Frenchmer comprised a
fifth Of the European population
of the world, now form only a
tenth. The Importance Of their
country as q world power Is not
