SARAH GRAND WRITES
OF MARRIAGE MIDDLE
Author of 1.-THE Heavenly Twins
Discusses Old Wives and
Young Husbands.
AGE NOT REAL. FACTOR

LONDON, March 19.-Mme. Sarah Grand.
author of THE Heavenly Twins" has
taken part in the discussion of old wives
and young husbands, now going on in the
London press, and has written to the Daily
Mail follows:
Tits human to reason that the troubles
of the world originate in some item of in
convenience from which We personally have
suffered, and the correspondence of late on
the marriage muddle has been wholly hu-
man in this.
Each individual who writes considers the
subject from his or her own point of view
almost exclusively. 1t is. 1 know sound
proceeding to argue from the particular to
the general, but not from only one partic-
ular
az should say. speaking even for the
lnake-weight of humanity, that there is sell
dom a marriage which might not be happy
if only the pair would look at life from
each others point of view on occasion, and
agree to make it so.
ut seems TO me that your correspondence
tends TO show that happiness in married
life does not depend upon the relative ages
of husband and wife. There are happily
married people of all ages and people OF all
ages who are unhappily married.
Happiness in married life is the out
come of compatibility, character and prin-
ciple; our characters we develop ourselves
our principles we choose. and compatibility
can be cultivated; therefore, the matter is
in our own hands. The will to be happy
working on the right lines, is the power to
be happy.
But the married pair must will in the
same direction and will together; that they
do not do is the cause of most of their
troubles. AS rule. each is not for the
other. but each for him or herself.
THE age of a man counts little as an ex-
PLANTATION of his selfishneSs. Young men
are apt to be as selfish as old ones But
the Young wife sets her troubles down to
the difference of age.
Considering the subject solely from her
own point of view. she grudges her husband
his club his friends and all that makes life
pleasant for him in his declining years. He
resents her. selfish egotism, and so they are
estranged.
'.In married life the word gentle-gentle-
man and gentlewoman-should be studied
and expounded in, all its significance. The
habits of genuine gentlefolk tend to adapta-
ton. With them constant courtesy resolves
discord into harmony; harsh blame into
tender remonStrance. the love that makes
due allowance is substituted for the pride
that cares only to prove. itself right; and
the sacrifice of self on both sides, and not
on one side only, makes for mutual esteem
Marriage is the finishing school of life; 1t
puts the final touch TO our education, re-
wards us with happiness If we learn its les
sons. Furnishes with misery If we fail to
profit.
Given a healthy-minded pair of any
reasonable relative age. OF ordinary IN
telligence. ordinary knowledge of human
nature, and with the loyal desire to make
each other happy which results in the de-
veopment of sympathetic insight and
should be- the crown and completion of
life"

TRAIN OF MESSENGERS
IN WAKE OF EMPEROR
German Rulers Plan of Keeping
in Touch with Affairs While
on Tour.
DULL TINES AT BERLIN

BERLIN, March 19.-The extent of per-
sonal government in Germany is realized
only when the Emperor leaves the country.
The cessation of his public activities causes
an immediate Shrinkage of news Then, in
all the government departments new things
must wait until the Emperor returns. The
essential administrative orders and docu-
ments that need no personal explanation by
ministers are forwarded to the sovereign.
Departures from routine business and new
projects must wait until he can go into
them at first hand, without reading bales of
bureaucratic folos. Leaving out the fresh
business. the Emperor must sign, If he does
navy commissions of various kinds and de-
partmental DEGREES. These papers are car
ried to him by officers of the reserve, en-
ployed as messengers in the diplomatic
service. They belong 10 the chasseurs corps
of the army. Major General Won PIetten-
berg is in immediate charge of these mes
sengers,> whose work OF travelling over the
world with papers. some of which contain
government secrets, is regarded as being in
high degree honorable and confidential
About twcnty-four messengers are regular
ly on duty, while others are detailed when
needed. Every day since the Emperor left
sengers. in civil dress. has left Chancellor
Won Buelow's residence with a bag of
papers for the Emperor. One waited for
him at Dover. two at Nigo and another at
Gibraltar. Eight messengers are now going
or coming with documents. In affairs of
supreme Importance, If such should arise
two or even three messengers VIII travel in
company. as a single messenger might meet
with mischance.

REBELuOUS HEREROS
Lost Seven Officers and Nineteen
Men Killed, Three Officers and
Two Men Wounded.
ENEMY'S LOSS UNKNOWN

BERLIN, March 19-Colonel Leutwein
(the Governor of German Southwest Af-
rica), reports severe fighting there March
Is. The Germans were forced to retreat
with the loss of seven officers and nine
teen men killed and three officers and two
privates wounded
Commandant Glasenapp, with his staff
officers and thirty-six men, advanced ahead
of his main body and overlook the eneniy's
vanguard, which had Unexpectedly received
reinforcements. Glassenapp was forced to
retire with the losses already stated.
The fight occurred March Is near
Owikokorero with the Tetjo tribe. of
Hereros, whom Glasenapp was pursuing
The enemy's loss Is not known, but twenty
tachment had one machine gun. He IS now
taking measures TO attack the Hereros
position in force and probably will ask for
reinforcemeEts from Major Esteren' s
column.
= Colonel Leutwein later cabled the name of
the dead, who included Captain Won
Francis, Lieutenant Eggers and DIR. Velten,
a physician of Habicht. Glasenapp himself
was slightly wounded in the head.
The news of the German reverse made a
Disappointing impression in Berlin since
il involved the most severe losses the Ger
mans have Yet reported and because il was
hoped that the worst was over. In view of
this latest fight il is regarded as possible
that still further reinforcemepts will be
sent TO Southwest Africa

PARIS, March 19.-Colonel De la Pa
nouze, who is now retired after a brilliant
career as French officer of cavalry and mil
itary attache at several European capitals,
has just published what may be regarded as
the most accurate description of the Cos
sacks. He says. among other things:
I'm Europe the Cossacks operate con-
jointly with the ordinary cavalry; but in
Asia they are the only mounted troops of
the Muscovite empire. In exchange
for homestead and other privileges the
Cossacks are bound to military service and
to furnish their horses and equipment uni
forms, etc. There are, according to the Of
fetal statistics published in 1900 by the i'm
perial commission, 80 regiments of mounted
Cossacks. three divisions. fifty-three sot-
Mas or squadrons, eighteen battalions of in
fantry and forty-four batteries of light ar
tilery; in all. 10000 soldiers and noncom-
missioned officers.

COAL MINES ARE LAID
BARE BY THE SEA WAVES
Northumberland Fisherman Bene-
fitted by High Tide on the
British Coast.
DISCOVERY A GODSEND

LONDON, March BITS an i'll wind that
blows nobody any good" Prevented by the
stormy weather from carrying on their fish
ing trade. the half-starved Inhabitants of
the village of CulLercoats on the Northum-
berland coast, have discovered a miniature
coal mine on the cliffs.
The novel sight was presented OF fishermen
clad in oilskins and seaboots working the
little mine with pickaxes. shovels and even
erowbars.
The fisherfolk owe their good fortune to
the subsdences in the cliffs caused by the
high tides and rough seas which have laid
bare two seams of COAL one four feet and
the other two feet thick. The latter is con-
nected with the well-known Benton seam.
In the course of the day large quantity of
coal was extracted before the rising tide
flooded the workings on the beach
1T isn't exactly getting coal for nothing"
said one of those hardy northerners as he
paused a moment in his labors. and he was
quite right. for a great deal of gravel and
rock had TO be removed before the coal was
reached.
The fsherfolk look upon this discovery as
something of a godsend. Not only has their
fleet been prevented from going out. but the
local bait supply had been exhausted. and
mussels had to be imported at heavy rates.

his dress and pump to the partly sub
merged craft and made an examination
OF the barge hull He found the heavily
laden barge had settled down on the stub
OF n lA-inch pile which punched hole
I'm the port side OF the hull forward and
filed the hold.
Ills afternoon tho diver went down
again and removed large quantity OF
mud from the hole preparatory TO putting
the rumps to work at once IL will be
