a HAppN LIFE.

How happy is he born or taught,
That serveth not another's will;
Whose armor is his strongest thought,
And simple truth mis- highest skill.
Whose passions not his masters are
Whose soul is still prepared for
death:
Not ty'd unto the world with care
OF princes ear, or vulgar breath.
Who hath his life from rumors freed
Whose conscience is his strong re-
treat:
Whose state can neither fatterers
feed.
Nor ruin make oppressors great.
Who envies none, whom chance doth
raise
Or vice; who never understood
How deepest wounds are given with
praise;
Nor rules of state but rules of good;
Who God doth late and early pray
More of His grace than gifts to lend;
And entertains the harmless day
With well chosen book or friend.
This man is freed from servile bands
OF hope to rise, or fear to fall;
Lord of himself, though not of lands:
And having nothing yet hath all.
Sir Henry Wotten.

WHERE THEY MARRY YOUNG.
In Austria Children OF Fourteen Year.
MAY Be Made Man and WIFE

Persons who think they are "o'er
young to marry yet should look
abroad and see what lis: thought. in
other nations about the proper age fer
matrimony In Austria Il Boy and girl
having arrived at the age of II arc
considered to be old enough for matri-
monial purposes, and the. law allows
them to marry and, begin. housckeep-
ing as soon as they please. In Ger-
many man is not considered to have
arrived at a marfiageable age until
he is rs. and in Franct and Belgium
the man must be rs and the girl 10.
In Spain the bridegroom must have ar
rived at the mature age of IA and the
bride must be staid young lady of
l2. T'he law is the same in Portugal.
Hungary has a funny marriage law.
For Catholics the marriageable age is
considered TO he n for the boy and
~ for the girl, but for Protestants
it is is for the boy and - for tho
1 RI. Why this distinction? In Swift
erland and Greece the ages are II for
the boy and - for the girl, the same
as in Spain and Portugal In Spain.
Greece and Portugal boys and girls
mature rapidly, and a boy of IA is as
old physically as a boy of IS in more
northern countries. but it seems
strange that the hardy mountaineer3
of Switzerland. where there is no such
excuse for child marriages, should set
such an early age for matrimony.
For really youthful marriages one
should so to Turkey. There the law
allows a boy and girl who can wall

meaning of the necessary religion.

garia and Servia girls are allowed tc

The Santa Fe has issued an order
that no one addicted to the use of
cigarettes shall be given employment
cigarette smokers working for the
company have been dismissed. The
crusade against cigarettes has not
yet formally reached the Indianapolis
roads, but is being quietly enforced
on some one of them. At present the
rule against cigarettes is applied prin-
cipally in the clerical department and
number of clerks who have been let
out in order 80 reduce expenses" are
not aware that they were dismissed
because they smoked cigarettes. And
many applicants failed to get positions
for the same reason. Every applicant
has to pass a written examination and
in addition to that his personal habits
are investigated. An occasional
drink Is overlooked, but If it is found
that he is in the habit of smoking
cigarettes there is no chance for MIN.
The rule against cigarettes on some
of the local roads is applied also to
applicants for positions in the train
service, though there is nothing in the
blank application that announces the
facts. Most of the railroad officers,
however, are determined that the en-
ployes shall not be cigarette fiends,
and 1t is understood that by the first
of the year the roads will issue for

floor and the barrel drew the contents
into "A washtub from which it was
transferred to jugs and other recep-

over its disappearance had worn of.
Then it was distributed around among
the faithful and a season of hilarity
and dissipation followed until the sup
ply was exhausted. when the com
munity again sobered up and con-
tinued in the even tenor of it's way.
This incident was told by one of the
commercial travellers who run into
Utica, and then one OF his fellows told
an incident of familiar nature. 1t
happened in Pennsylvania town near
BinghamtOn. There was an old chap
over there who had a reputation for
making the finest apple jack in the
country, and he had plenty of custom
ers. Last year just before Thanksgiv-
ing he drove into town and made the
rounds OF his customers and made each
family a present of a generous por
tion of apple jack. With each gift
he remarked that it was a little some
thing extra for their Thanksgiving
dinner, and so the treat was saved for
that occasion. AS a result, there was
more hilarity, more going on in the
homes of the apple jack manufacture
ers customers on Thanksgiving after
noon than there had been before in
many a moon; and the day after
there were a whole lot of headaches.
Several months thereafter it trans

THE ROOTS OF ANARCHY.

The American Issue Anti-Saloon
League, Columbus, o. speaking Of
the Roots of Anarchy" says: Such
deeds as the attempted assassination
OF President Mckinley may be traced
to two sources in our American civili-
Zation. The second count in
this indictment must be against the
un-American saloon. We have no
wish to heap upon this vile business
any crimes of which it is not guilty.
for it is drunk already with the blood
of millions it has slain: but d due
share of this latest tragedy must be
placed To its credit The Cincinnati
Enquirer of September s. commenting
upon the life and character of the
wouldbe assassin, makes the follow
ing statement concerning the infiu-
ences surrounding him in the city of
Cleveland: Shortly after coming to
this city fifteen years ago Icons
father started a saloon, in the rear of
which was small building used as
a rendezvous and meeting place for a
dozen or fifteen men who called them
selves anarchists. Leon was too young
to be member of that gang. but he
was a great listener to the harangues
that these men INDUCED in, and they
probably had some effect on his youth
ful mind" Thus it will be seen that
during the most impressionable period
of his life he spent much of his time
in the rear room of a saloon listening
TO the mad vapourings of the fire.
quenters OF the place. Every
where anarchists and the saloon are
found TO be inseparable. While it
should be- understood from the lakes
to the gulf and from Maine to the
Golden Gate that this country has
only gallows room and grave room for
anarchists il should likewise he un-
derstood that the rum shop is the
home and fostering mother of anarchy.
and is an eXcrescence that must be
purged from our civilization if our in
stitutions are to flourish and prosper
The Christian Standard Disciples,
CincinnatD thus gives its opinion: 1T
is worthy of note that about all an
archistic plots against national rulers
were hatched in saloons, the natural
synagogues of lawlessness. Among
the more than 100000 drinking places
in this country it would be difficult to
find one that is not "A habitual and
persistent lawbreaker. The simplest
and most unmistakable provisions OF
the law are disregarded. In our cities
selling liquor on Sunday and outside
of the regular hours is general, while
the provision that intoXicants shall
not be sold to minors is utterly dis
regarded On Sunday or on weekday
little children may he seen coming
from saloons with buckets of beer,
while boys from fourteen to twenty
one patronize the saloon with no pro-
test upon the part of the constituted
authorities. We will never root out
anarchy until we destroy the saloon"

GENIUS i DISEASE?
FRENCH PSYCHOLOGISTS FoRMU.
LATE SUCH a THEORY.
Many Em!Csnt Examples of brilliant
Men OF Letters Strengthen the Con-
tention Mozart and Wagner cited IN
tho Case.

That disease and deformities due TO
accident or prenatal conditions develop
genuine genius along certain lines is
a theory formulated and announced
from Paris, whore psychologists have
been making experiments in that field.
American physicians who have given
the subject attention say that the the
ory is undoubtedly correct. The expe-
riments of psychologists and the re-
search work OF alienists point to the
same conclusion. Many eminent exam
pies are at hand to demonstrate that
the theory is correct. Experiments OF
this nature are in their infancy so far
as specifically directed work is con-
cerned. Some phenomena of this kind
have been discovered at times in the
past, but the doctrine has never been
formulated to show that mans ge-
MUS lies in a certain scope according
to his deformity until the French
chemist is said to be due to this acct
dent
Nerve and brain specialists say that
such an accident would no doubt cause
the entire strength of a man to go to
another part of the brain and thus de-
velop the well-nurtured part abnor-
mally In other words. blow or
sickness may result in the lopsided de
velopment of the brain. thus rendering
man peculiarly bright on certain
subject.
1t is pointed out that Milton wrote
his Paradise Lost" while he was
blind and it is said that the blindness
confined his mind to a certain scope in
manner that made it possible for
him to evolve the great epic.
Cases of somewhat different ma
ture are shown IN the elegant writings
lof Thomas De Quincy and Samuel
Taylor Coleridge, both of whom had
brains in which the excessive use OF
opium had made havoc. De Quincy
describes his horrible experience with
opium taken in the form of laadanum
lie his Confessions of an English
Opium Eater"
Lord Byron wrote so beautifully that
even the French made his works a fa-
vorite and lauded his ideas to the
skies. probably never would have de
veloped the genius necessary to thus
charm nations if he had not had
club foot. Nearly all of Sir Walter
Scott's latest novels were dictated from
a sick bed and they display peculiar
genius.
Mozart and Wagner both had de-
formed brains said to have been due
to disease and bumps while they were
children. Professor Hertyl of Berlin,
who was formerly professor in the
University of Leipsic has the skull
and brain of Mozart and it shows pc
culiar deformities which differ but
slightly from the malformation of the
skull of Richard Wagner. Dean Swift
also suffered from an incurable disease
which the theorists say inspired his
works.

THE ABsfNTuE CRAZE.

The drinking of absinthe in Switzer.
land has attained such enormous pro-
portions that societies have been
formed for the purpose of organizing
lectures illustrated by pictures, depict
ing the effect absinthe has upon the
human system. In the absinthe-pro-
ducing country districts around ,Neuf-
chatel, and the French frontier the
condition OF many of the male inhabi-
tants is said to be frightful. Through
out Switzerland the yellowish green
liquor is very cheap, the prices rang
ing from three cents to six cents per
glass. one glass being quite sufficient
to make an ordinary man drunk, yet
in Switzerland the peasants frequently
take their eight to ten glasses per
diem. An hSbitual absinthe drinker
seldom lives beyond his forty-fifth
year. 1t is a regrettable fact to chron-
icle that in some districts the women
are beginning to show marked liking
for this spirit.-Detroit Free Press.
