A DIVISION oE rHE sPoIls.

The modern tendency to regard mar
risge as mere civil contract has had its
logical outcome in the divorce courts.
Unless it is regarded as sacrament and
practically indissoluble it must be looked
upon as mere agreement TO bo broken
by common consent, or by either party
with tho aid Of court. The Catholic
and Anglican churches deserve the thanks
OF tho world for their stern adhercnea to
the doctrine of the indissolnbility of the
marriage tie. Doubtless there are per.
sons in these oommunions who have suf-
fered because Of the impossibility of be-
iag freed from an iRtolerablp alliance,

BAD HABITS.
improper Food Often Leads to Tobacco
and Drink.

Imp oper food creates abnormal tastes
and there ere many cases on the medical
recordr whore the liquor habit and to-
bacco habir have been caused by wrong
food and nave easily been ccred by the
use o: the scientific food Grape-N Nuts
which so thoroughly nour!shes and re-
builds the nerves that they stop the cry
for s.imulants.

EDITORIAL OPINION
NapOIeOns Of Finance.

From the Engineering Magazine.
The lippant term Napoleon OF FL
nance embodies n fundamental truth.
The same restlessness Of conscious
power, the same hungering for empire.
the same craving for the intoxicatlon OF
victory now find in the field OF industry
the outlet that once was TO be found
only in the field OF battle. And the
same glamor OF immediate success daz-
zles the people and throngs them about
the victor, delirious Ia the glory OF the
present careless of the stability OF the
future. But the same law underlies all
nature. and will not be denied. The
overblown hubble viii burst-the over
stretched fabric will brsak=-the un-
stable structure will fail"
The analogy is plain. The American
leaders OF finance. beginning with un-
dertahngs which had economic justifis
catien. but since drunken with success,
have expanded their campaign to tho
limits of aFeamlsnd.

Since the Water Commission decides to
make another contract with the Sand
Filtration Company ere the question OF
the validity Of the former contract is
determined. the motives Of the Com
nnissioners will be closely inquired into.
We do not think that the cause OF the
Western concern could have been more
vallantly champoined by its own
agents than It seems to have been by
our paid servants. And II that COM
pany Is willing to rescind contract
calling for si72,ooo and accept in its
stead one giving them only 5000.
there Is occasion for the suspicion that
the first was either improperly obtain
ed or that It is void. The commission
ers may do many things under the
powers conferred on them. but they
cannot do certain things and retain
that respect that should be dear to
public servants.

An Unknown Angel.

She walks unnoticed in the street;
The casual eye
Sees nothing in her fair or sweet,
The world goes by
Unconscious that an angels feet
Are passing nigh.
She little hath OF beauty's wealth:
Truth viii allow
Only her priceless youth and health,
Her broad white brow:
Yet grows she on the heart by stealth
l scarce know how.
She does a thousand kindly things
That no one knows;
A loving woman's heart she brings
To human woes;
And TO her face the sunlight clings
Wher'er she goes.
And so she walks her quiet ways
With that content
That only comes to sinless days
And innocent;
A life devoid OF fame or praise.
Yet nobly spent.
