Prof. c. s.

LOVE 4 ND LOSS.

MT. Samuel W. Cooper, a PhiIadel- phia lawyer, thinks he has solved one puzzle. He thinks that breach oe prom iee to marry and alienation of affec- tiors should be stricken fro,u the list of causes for which suits fer damages may ke brought. He taxes the ground that no court or jury is competent to decide when man or wonar is iusti- fled in breaking promisa of marriage "!s there anyore," he as;xs, "who can decide this point so we'll as tte person who is e. fronted with the unpleasant position of marriage with someone un- :ol d? If on! be sincere ;n the break
 ing of promise. surely it is well that it is broken" Regarding suit for alien ation of affections, MT. Cooper contends that it is never brought against the person who may fairly be assumed to have been most guilty. If a husband or wife proves faithless, not he or she, but the third person who has shared his or her guilt is held responsible. This appears to MT Cooper a plain in- justice. He contends in reference to cases of this kind also that nc court or jury is competent to decide the amount os sustained damages. He urges further that the woman who twill so into court and expose her dead courtship to the public gaze" or the husband who sues for alienation of af- fections, desecrates the marriage rela- ton by bringing it into public contempt and proves that he or she is unfit to be party to it.

THE ANDovER CRiBBING.

MT Arthur W. Ryder, a former in- structor in Phillips-Andover Academy, writes to the Boston Herald concern ing cribbing that cheating in exami nations is regarded by the large ma jority of students at Phillips-Andover as legitimate" MT. Ryder declares that in his undergraduate days at the school (1S90-'94) a good scholar who re- fused to aid his neighbor in a school examination was thought to have been guilty of meanness, and that this feel ing gained even firmer hold in 1S97'9S, when he was instructor there. He says that cheating in examinations was only one manifestation of deeply rooted evil. "The attitude of Andover students toward their school work must occasion serious apprehension among the friends of Phillips Academy; cheat | ing in oral recitation and in the prep aration of written work outside the class room is carried to astonishing | lengths. Cheap and inaccurate trans lations of Greek and Latin classics, written in execrable English, form a not inconsiderable fraction of the pri- vate library of many students. Att tempts are frequently-and sometimes successfully--made to secure in advance copies of the Yale entrance examina- 1 tions.'
 This is interesting especially the statement concerning the Yale exami- l nations. MT. Ryder's charges are seri- ous ones, and if they are true student honor at Andover isn't what it ought to be. But is it what it ought to be any,

A Danish expedition is to survey the shores of Melville Bay on the west coast of Greenland. The coast line, which has not yet been charted, extends from 2 degrees 30 minutes to 76 degrees 15 minutes, north latitude, and has all ready been visited by Peary, and again by his assistant, Astrup, but neither made anything more than rough out line sketches of the coast. The detailed survey of this coast will enable the map-nakers to complete the outline of fully four fifths of Greenland-practi- cally all south of the seventy-seventh parallel. The west coast between v degrees and S3 degrees 24 minutes has already been outlined by American and British surveyors. The reason why the bay has not been mapped is that ships have not been able to travel along the shore, which is beset with ice for eleven months in the year. When the survey is completed all that will re- main to fill out the form of the island will be the stretch between Independ- ence Bay and Cape Bismarck on the east coast.

The trial of the pyx, a curious nedi- aeval custom which survives as an of- ficial institution in England, was flld recently, when the coins minted during the reign of King Edward were for the first time tested. It is held in Gold smiths Hall, and formerly the sover- eign in person presided, but since 1870 the Remembrancer has been chief of the court. He administered the special oath used on such occasions to the jury, composed of members of the Gold smiths Company. After that repre- sentative of the Royal Mint produced the pyx, or casket, containing samples of all coins of gold and silver minted annually. The coins were taken indis- criminately from each journey weight" sent to the Bank of England. The trial lasted two or three days, for, in addi- tion to the coinage of the United King dom, that of the several of the colonies was also submitted for examination.

The Swedish consul at Bombay says that because of their fear of sanitary inspection and modern methods of pre- venting and curing diseases the natives of India in vast numbers are the vic- tims of plague. In consequence of the hatred and fear of hospitals and medi- cal men the population of Bombay has decreased forty thousand in the last ten years, while the increase in the whole of India in the same time was about fifteen per cent. Bombay now has 760, 900 people. The hospital and general medical service in India are of the best and do much good in the affected dis tricts in spite of the prejudice which prevails against such things. The plague is generally fatal without the most skillful medical attention. The natives in their ignorance seek only to be left to die in peace. The ancient traditions of the country are extremely difficult, almost impossible, to eradi- cate.

ANINCIDhNT WITH 4 MORAL

The letter which Consul Bragg wrote from Havana, in which he said it was as hopeless a task to make anything out of the Cubans as to con- struct a whistle out of a pigs tail, is making some stir both in this country and in Cuba. It was written to his wife, and if he thought about it at all he didn't think his wife would show it to anybody who would make trouble.
 But the trouble has been made, and another warning has been given. Of course if the fuss grows and spreads Consul General Bragg will have to come home, but it is to be hoped that the polite Cubans will not be hard on him, especially as the woman in the case didn't mean harm any more than he did. This and other similar incl
 dents make it plain that the United
 States government ought to give its
 agents specific instructions not to tell
 their wives all they know or think
 about what they see and hear. This | might make some trouble, but it would nt make as much as has been made by such indiscreet performances as that of MT. and Mrs. Bragg.

Comptroller Grout of New York wants new municipal building for the city and he figures that considerable money could be saved if the city had one. He says that New York now pays more than sSOO,OOO yearly in rentals for offices in the Park Row. Stewart and other buildings. This is per cent. in- terest on ss,OO0,0OO. With a s4,OOO,OOO building the city would save $60,OOO year. He suggests that the city might take the Stewart building by purchase or condemnation, gradually purchase adjoining buildings and eventually put up a large modern structure, or, if the agitation for removing the postoffice uptown succeeded it might be good idea for the city to purchase the site of the present postoffice.
