CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. 11.-There has
recently been formed in Chicago an or
ganization composed of maria geable
young women in which they agree not
to wed unless the man belongs to a
union labor concern. In a parish of
Chicago a priest on Sunday last an
nounced from the pulpit that he would
perform no more marriage ceremonies
unless he was paid fee of $40. Over
at st. Joseph, Mich, some of the min
listers have recently inVeighed against
that town being the laughing stock of
the country because of the many we'd
dingS taking place there.
In Racine, Wis, even Mrs. Grace
Smell Coffin got a divorce without go
ing on probation for a year. In Sioux
Falls, where divorces are turned out
like collar buttons in factory, there
has recently cropped up a feeling
against the dissolution of marital
unions that threatens q new law for
South Dakota pertaining to such af-
fairs. AT Hammond, Ind, that live
and progressive suburb of Chicago, the
mayor has said that he would unite
any couple appearing before him be-
tween the hours of and o'clock in
the afternoon and if need be kiss the
bride without any sort of cost. Thus
the reader will observe that while
trusts, the coal strike and Mr.. Wat
tersons attacks on Newport society
are commanding much attention, still
the question of married life and mar
riages is not wholly unrepresented.

A. F. Knots, the recently elected

Suicide aud Insurance.

\ recent decision by the Supreme
Court of oOhio makes the suicidal
clause in policies Of no avail. Most in
suranco companies have. we believe,
practically given up the contention, so
that we may now consider the Amcri.
can method settled;that the policies of
suicides must be paid the same as if
deathshad come from natural causes.
1t is an indication of tho growing ten
dency of our times to hold that suicide
is not crime. The laws that have
been pessedsto.punish attempted self
destruction are imperative, and the
habit Of the world is to pity rather
than to blame in such cases, and this
Is one cause of the increase of suicide

If this increase should reach the de-

Joshua Expressed his Opinion.

A story comes from Cambridge,
Md, of an experience Of the late
Judge Goldsborough, Of that town,
with one Joshua Davis, who was much
given to profane language. The Judge
was severely averSe to profanity and
there was much curiosity to see what
would happen one day when Joshua
was called to the witness stand in
court. In accordance with almost un-
restrainable habit Joshua began his
testimony with particularly fierce
and sulphuric oath.
''Stop" thundered the Judge. "You
are fined s5 for contempt Of court
Joshua paid the money and re-
sumed. By extraordinary effort he
succeeded in delivering several unob-
jectionable sentences, but, warming
up to his subject, relapsed into his
usual vocabulary.
Again did the Judge impose fine.
Now, flaming with wrath, Joshua
asked:
Judge, can you fine me for think
ing in court?"
"Why, no; of course notl' was the
answer.
"Well, then said Joshua, 81
think you are blank, blank fool, and
no mistake!'

City and Country Folk.

Iu the series Of States beginning
with Maine auu ending with Pennsyl-
vania 68 per cent of the inhabitants
are found in what are here regarded
cities, while in the region lying be-
tween the upper Mississippi aud the
Missouri the proportion is only 28.5
per cent, and in the South Atlantic
States 2l.4 per cent. In North Caro-.
lima, Mississippi, Arkansas, Okla
homa and both of the Dakotas the
percentage falls off to between 6 and
10.
To some extent, of course, such
enormous aggregations Of people aS are
found in New York City and Phila-
dclphia improve the showing of urban :
as distinguished from rural, popula-
tion. Yet the percentages Of this
State (72.9) aud Pennsylvania (54.D
are surpassed in New England. The
figures for Massachusetts and Rhode
Island, respectively. are 91.5 and 95!
The Old Bay State offers tie most
striking illustration, perlaps. because
less than one.ffth of her total popula-
tion was to be found in Boston in
1900, while Providence supplied near
ly two-ffths of Rhode Islands quota
and the metropolis about one-half that
of the Empire State. A factor which
evidently counts for more than the
presence Of one big city is an abun-
dance Of small ones within q given
area. This principle is illustrated, j,
somewhat indirectly but conclusively,
by table showing the average popu-
latiou Of counties in various parts Of
the country. Out of ZIG counties in
New England and the Middle Atlantic
States only twenty.eight had popu-
lation Of 10000 or less, while there
were 343 out Of $40 counties in the
South Atlantic States below 10000.

Young Ravens.

l have not learning enough to know
whether in the earliest timens ravens
were accounted "unlucky." If so,
why were they chosen from among all
the birds Of the air for the merciful
errand Of carrying bread to Elijah in
the wilderness? {Did they steal it2
They are given to theftD Also in the
Written Word we are assured that
God heareth the young ravens when
they cry out unto Him. And moth
ing of this is said of doves, or Of any
other white or heavenly kind of bird.
An explanation is given in the Egyp-
tian commentary on St. Luke, in the
Coptic script by Epiphanius, A. D.
368-401. The passage is certainly
very curious and I am permitted to
transcribe it here. "Why, then, did
the evangelist mention no name among
the birds except ravens only? Be-
cause the hen raven, having laid her
eggs and hatched her young, is wont
to fly away and leave them on ac-
count of the hue of their color, for
when batched they are red in appear.
ance. Then the Nourisher of all
Creation sends to them little swarm
of insects, putting it by their nest,
and thus the little ravens are fed until
the color Of their body is, as it we're,
dyed, and becomes black. But after
seven days the old ravens return, and,
seeing that the bodies Of their young
have become perfectly like their own,
henceforward they take to them and
bring them food of their own accord"
1t is for naturali,ts to ascertain wheth-
er or no this strange account of the
young ravens holds good in our day.

We looked for this, many Of us, two
weeks to come, but the young ladies',
who know how 20 live right rs we'll as

the necessity Of casting all worldly

petition, however, has been made made
to Miss Rice and all ladies and gentle
men contributing to the success Of the
entertainment to again favor Piedmont

the same performance. Some hun
drcds from the mills and many from
the country, who have little access to
such simple and instructive amuse-

that the surrender Of the army is, in
deed, the end Of the Confedcracy.
But that result is inevitable, and

d. F.ldridgc Monroe gives the fol-
lowing account Of an amusing incident
at temperance meeting in Topeka,
Kansas, during t.c successful politi
cal campaign Of St. John the noted
Prohibitionist, for governor Of that
State in 1878:
"l.was in Topeka one evening dur
ing the campaign and learned that a
big temperance meeting in the inter
est Of St. John was to be held in ore
Of the largest churches in the city. l
determined to attend the meeting.
My friend, Colonel A., prominent
citizen Of Toreka, informed me early
in the evening that he also would at
tend the meeting, but probably would
not arrive until late.
"Now, the colonel was known as q
genial, polished gentleman, and, with
al, one not averse to partaking Of the
cup that both cheers and inebriates,
although, as was credibly informed,
he was never known to be intoxicated.
He was said, however, to be one OF
the best judges and one of the most
appreciative consumers Of good liquor
in the State. Finally the time came
when the colonel's physician prohi-
bited him from using any malt or
spirituous liquors whatever. This
was severe denial for the colonel,
but he promised to follow the doctor
directions.
ut speedily became known through
out the town that the colonel had be-
come q total abstaincr. When he ar
rived at the meeting an usher con.
Quoted him to front seat and
preacher who was making an address
broke the thread of his remarks and
said:
L pause here, my friends, to
greet a distinguished citizen who, I'm
Informed, has recently become re-
cruit to our ranks. All honor to Col
onel A. His course in the step he
has taken merits our highest admira-
ton and he is entitled to our warmest
sympathy. In the noble determira-
tion he has reached. We see the triumph
of conscience over appetite. The
contest, I have no doubt, was a severe
one, but conscience won, and to-day
he is total abstainer.
"These words of the preacher were
followed by tumultuous applause
from the audience. AS soon as the
applause had subsided the colonel, to
the no little astonishment of every
body present, slowly and with much
dignity arose. Then looking at the
preacher, he gravely and deliberately
said:
"'Mr. Preacher, / thank you. You
have stated the matter admirably, so
far as the manner is concerned. Yet
you have, doubtless without inten-
ton, misstated the facts. I am a
total abstainer by the doctors orders,
because my stomach went back on me.
1t ism my conscience that makes me
tcetotaler, but my stomach, only my
stomach.
"Then Colonel ~. calmly resumed
his seat and when the laughter excit-
ed by his remarks mad subsidized the
preacher went on with his address,
but the colonel was not referred TO

Arkansas Valley Soil.

The United States department of
agriculture has recently completed
the first of series of investigation 8
which is expected to be of great
value to Colorado farmers. The de-
partment has had force of experts
from the bureau of soils at work in
the Arkansas valley for the last eight
months, making an examination OF
the character of the soil Of that sec
ton, with a general view to deter
mining what crops can best be rais'
ed in such soil, and with special ref
erence to alkali and the best methods
of getting rid of it.
The force in the field was compos-
ed of five men, in charge of Macy Fl.
Lapham, of Washington. They com
menced work last April, and com
pleted it only last week. The men
are now in Denver awaiting further
odrers from the department. The
result of their labors will be set forth
