Sport Is Too DANGEROUS.

The death Of George Lcander Of
Chicago, who died as a result of in.
juries received from a fall on the
Park DIES Princes track in Paris, IS
offered as another argument for a dis
continuance Of racing behind powerful
motor cycles. Harry Elkes, johnny
Nelson and Archie McEachern are
three other pace followers who met
their death while travelling at terrific
speed behind the suffering motors.
The death Of Leander is a hard
blow to cycling as he was one OF the
best'liked men in the game. He was a
big, handsome fellow Of wonderful
strength and vitality, and when he
won the six'day race in 1902 he fin
ished fresher than any other man ever

DEATH AND THE FEAR OF IT.

George Meredith is reported to
have said in a recent interview that
doctors and parsons are doing harm
by increasing the fear Of death and
making the English less manly. NO
one," he added, Should consider
death or think Of 1t as worse than go
ing from one room to another" For
his own part, he says, he hopes he
shall die with a good laugh"
There is no objection to joyous
ness, ever on the solemn occasion OF
passing from this form Of existence to
one of which we know nothing except
by faith. All the same. q frivolous
laugh seems to be an affection Of cour-
age rather than genuine heroism.
Death is no joke for those who go or
for those who are left behind. One
may say with the trust OF Emerson:

ly all through this life ! a trust
wherever he leads me."-Syracuse

FAvoRs FROM oEsPoTisM.

When we think Of the power to do
good which rests with a despot like
the emperor of Russia and reflect that
under a government Of the people re.
forms are often slow and tedious and
attended by much confusion and strife
we may be tempted to extol the ad.
yantages of despotism over democ-
racy. We compare the freedom OF
the serfs of Russia by a stroke Of the
pen with the long and bloody war that
resulted from slavery in this country.
The fallacy Of such reflections. how
ever. lies in the assumption that des-
potism will continue to produce phi
l%anthropists. The truth is that the
despot who succeeds the present des-
pot on the throne OF Russia may, by
inclination or the force of reactionary
sentiment among the ruling classes,
overthrow all the b~enevolence OF his
predecessor.-Boston Globe.

THE AGE.

The dictum Of Gov. Warfeld that
girls should not marry until they are
twenty.six has naturally caused con-
siderable discussion among O
uost interested-the girls themselves,
their parents. and the young men
who do NJ want to wait for a bride
until she is verging on old-maiden-
hood.
The first question Of interest is a
matter Of fact: Are our girls gener'
ally marrying at too early an ageY
Some light is thrown on this matter
by City Registrar McGlenan Of Bos-
ton in the Globe Of that city. He
shows that in the year 1907 out OF
6,172 brides. only 100. or a little more
than 2 per cent, were less than eight.
cen. While more than half the total
number were under twenty-five. yet
4,lS0. more than two-thirds OF the
whole number Of brides. were mar.
ried between the ages of twenty and
twenty.nine."
These figures. the Registrar thinks,
do not indicate that all girls are
marrying at an a~bnormally early
age" Other writer's on the subject
testify that marriage is entered into
by both sexes at later age than In
former generations in this country.
There are many reasons for this. The
growing independence Of women, the
more extensive fields for their EN-
ployment, the importance given to
education, operate to defer marriage
as the increased cost Of the welded
state deters many young men until
they can afford it."-New York

REGULATE coUNTRY's CLOCKS.

What time is 1t? BY what system
are the clocks here and elsewhere
regulated? Chicago and all points In
the United States east Of the Rocky
mountains get their time every day
from the government observatory at
Washington. The territory west Of
the Rockies is served the same way
by the observatory at Mare island
navy yard, near San Francisco. These
signals are sent out when II Is noon at
Washington and, three hours later,
when il is noon at San Francisco.
Chicago gets its time at IL o'clock
there, when 1t is DOL at Washington.
The signal begins at five minutes be-
fore the hour. Then the saunders in
the telegraph Offices connected with
Washington begin to tick of the Sec
onds, with breaks of five seconds at
the end of each minute and a break
of ten seconds before the end OF the
fifth and final minute, and then
comes the noon signal.
