A little ,hree-year-old living in one of
the suburbs of Los Angeles had an eN-
citing ride few weeks ago. He was left
alone for a moment while his mother ran
nm the steps to ring the bell at the house
of a friend. and during this time news
oaper blown about by the wind startled
the unusually relia BILE horse, which
dashed off at a break-neck speed. Bonnie

the mother hurrying breathlessly down
the street.
Bennie's mother is not a religious wom-

touched the deep well-springs of hei
heart and many times that day she
caught Bonnie in her arms and, pressing
him closely to her breast. exclaimed

~HE FRENCH WOMAN
- - AND MARRIAGE.

rILE ROJrX, who has been giving a
m course OF lectures at Columbia uni
IN versity on Family Life in France,
A'A closed il with u discourse on the
Crisis of Marriage. whereof a very incorl-
plete report. printed in some OF the news
papers, included an interesting passage
about French women who do not marry.
He finds the cause of their cehbate dis
position be luxury, the love OF money.
and the French system oS marrying lot
money. He said that through Paris
journal he offered to give advice to I'M
married women, and received hundreds OF
them, who told him their several stories.
He remembers it as depressing eNpe-
rience. The story in every case was
about the same. The young women left
school at twenty. began to go to theaters
the opera and balls had "a good time and
put off getting married. Stlli unnarfleo
at twenty-five. they began TO nave d
cretain pity for the innocent young girls
who married and assumed the cares OF
their sex The men they saw pleased
them less and less. they Were unable to
awaken the sentiment of love for them.
and at last found themselves at the age
of thirty-still unmarried. Too late, dlsll-
luSioned. they saw that marriage Is ohlE
a means. not an end.
Nj lie Roux thinks that the society
where this story is common is in bad
way, and that the French system muS
be reformed by teaching the man TO have
courage enough to take wife without
money. Perhaps that is the remedy, put
! the experience he describes is not at all
uncommon in our day here. where the
! French system of matrimonial endowment
! does not obtain. Here. too. girls are
! liable to drift along in state of single
blessedness, which becomes yearly Iess
! blessed and yearly less easy to break

| ty-fve girls living comparatively idle
| life devoted chiefly to society. readily
acquire tastes and develop expectations
| which no available man can hope to sat
! isfy. Here. too, they pass the age OF
| expectation. and drift imperceptibly into
that of critical Discrimination Perhaps
the majority of women who marry are
women who dent know any better but
of these the majority seem to come out
ahead in the end for what they lose II

THE BIRTH AND DEATH

THOUGH. to superficial observa-
III ton. it might seem that the great
III bodies of the universe could radiate
n their light forever. the modern gen
civilizations of physics show that such
cannot be the case, writes Simon New
comb of Washington in The International
Monthly for April. The radiation of light
necessarily involves "a corresponding loss
of heat and with it the expenditure OF
some form of energy. The possibility of
such restoration completely transcends
our science. How can the little vibration
which strikes our eye from some distant
star, and which has been perhaps thou
sands OF years in reaching us ma It's
way back TO its origin: The light emitted
by the 10000 years ago is to-day pur-
suing its way in sphere whose surface
is 10000 light years distant on all sides.
Science has nothing even to suggest the
possibility of it's restoration. and the most
delicate observations fail to show any re-
turn from the unfathomable abyss.
1t can be said. with the confidence OF
demonstration, that the energy generated
by the suns contraction could not nave

much more than twenty or thirty milions
of years.

Moreover. the commencement OF the

"The late President Harrison was
connoisseur of rare old wines. although
he was extremely temperate In the use
OF them. At the time when he visited
Stanford university to deliver four lee
t,,res on International law for fee or
$4,000 (Which is probably the record

THE next day all these wines had

a long train of empty bottles IN the
midst of the campus. When President
Jordan heard of this he summoned De-

Mr. President. the bylaws OF the
