How does one generation of men
succeed another? The fathers are not
swept away in a body to make room
for the children, but one by one the
old drop Off and the young come on
until day is reached when none Of
those remain that once We're here How
does some form Of human speech be-
come extinct? About 100 years ago an
old lady named Dolly DeHtreath died
In Cornwall. She could speak the
Cornish language. After her death
there was nobody that could. Thus
quietly did the living Cornish language
become dead language And in a like
unobtrusive manner have been wrought
most of the lew becomings which
have changed and are changing the
earth.-John Fiske in Harper's.

General Corbfn's Plan tn Ala Young
Soldiers to Marry.

General COrbin's statement in his an
nual report discouraging the marriage
of the younger officers In the army has
been much discussed. says a Washing

Il am not opposed to marriage of Off
:srs Of the army any time, but it is rea-
sOnable to assume that young officer
with poor pay cannot attend to the du,
ties of his position, which are often en-
pensive, and also take care of family.
The question is not one of sentiment.
1t is one of dollars and cents.

l am suggesting ways by which the
young officers can be married. I am
In favor of inaugurating a system Of
deposits for young officers by which
after they accumulate 500, say, it can
be deposited, these continuous deposits
to draw interest at the rate of 4 per
cent"
Major General Young says: II agree
with General .Corbin. | believe that
marriage should not take place until
there is a certainty Of proper support
which will not interfere with an Off
GERS duty to the army and the coun-
try"
Brigadisr General I.udington says:
"The question is an interesting one, and
the adjutant general treats it from the
practical standpoint The principle is
all right. AS for myself, l didn't mar
~ until l was major"
General Corbin gave some interest
ing statements about famous officers
and their marriages. ''One of the
cases in point" he said, sis that Of Gen.
eral Grant He was married when a
second lieutenant and resigned because
he could not support his family on his
pay. Lieutenant General Miles did not
marry until he was colonel. General
Hancock was married when he was a
