Periodical Marriage.

A "silly season" newspaper discussion
of the marriage question in London ha:
provoked a remarkable statement q
opinion from the novelist. George Mere.
dith, who, in an interview in the Daily
Mail, welcomes free discussion of the
subject, though, as he confesse "every-
thing that ought to be said has TO be cut
in half"
He predicts changein the legal con-
ditions of marriage and foreshadows a
state of society permitting marriages for
certain limited periods, the State enforc-
ing provision of money during that
period to provede for and educate child
rem, the government possibly taking
charge of this fund. Mr.. Meredith
says:
"There will be devil of an uproar
before such a change can be made. 1t
will be great shock, but look back and
see what shocks there have been and
what changes have nevertheless occurred
in the marriage business in the past"
Mr.. Meredith foresees great difficulty
in English conservatism, notably reveal
ed in criticism of America, Indicating
the Englishman's persistency in regard
ing any new trait as sigu of disease"
yet" Mr.. Meredith says, cit is sign
of health, and l am very glad if any
words of mine can help air the subject"

Will the Celt Die Out?

To an audience of his countrymen
that filled every seat in the Auditorium
at Chicago John E. Redmond, Irish
nationalist, uttered this warming: "Our
race is slipping from its moorings-it j.,
dying. If we are passive and inactive,
Ireland will cease to be the home OF the
Celt. There are more old men and little
children and fewer young men and women
in that island than in any other country
on earth. The death of the race can
only be warded off by acting in the living
present. We must not neglectan oppor-
tunity." Then he made this prediction ;
1--WE shall seize our opportunities. Be-
fore the Oldest man in this audience is
dead Ireland will have won good meas
ure of self-government."

In THE trial of Peter Hernig in Phil
adelphia for selling adulterated milk, ex-
perts told the court and jury that boric
acid, alleged to have been found in milk
had seriously depressing effect upon
the human system if taken continuously.
Also they said that if fed to babies in
the summer time it frequently produces
internal disorders and death. In some
cities in the United States milk is in
spected before it can be sold in order to
protect consumers from dangerous adu!-
teratiOns. Milk barred in the large cities,
however, often finds its way into smaller
communities, where it is disposed of to
the unsuspecting.

A pretty young woman, dressed in a
short tailor made gray skirt and jacket,
was stepping into an automobile in front

40 years old, well groomed and happy
in the prospect of ride AS the

flowed. The man interfered at this juno

Clara was perfectly frantic and, being
large woman, showed fight. She at
tempted TO swing her lash again at the

so doing by the man, who grappled with
her. "You have made a fool of me

Congress of Free Thinkers.

The Congress of Free Thinkers in
Rome decided to meet in Paris in 1905,
and in 1906 at Buenos Ayres for North
and South Americans, and at Bar
celona for Europeans, although the Span
iards in attendance at the present con-
gress expressed the fear that the Madrid
government will forbid the meeting.
After the adjournment of the congress
the delegates formed in procession and
marched to the monument of Giordana
Bruno, the Dominican monk, who was
burned by the inquisition in 1900, and
deposited wreaths upon it in testimony of
their feeling of sntagonism to the Vati-
can. Several violent speeches were de-
livered, a Belgian, ex-Deputy Forune-
mont, summing up as follows: ''The
Vatican is corpse; we are life"
Similar demonstrations were made at
the Janicuium monument to Garibaidi.
1t is asserted that the Pope is preparing
letter to the Catholic world protesting
against the congress as an ofense against
his spiritual position as the head of 900,
900, 900 Catholics, and ending with
claiming the independence ofthe papacy.
