woman NTarried and singIe.

If every wife would establish fol herself the rule of conduct which wor for her the love of the man whose name she bears the question of married happiness would solve itself in most cases. There are, of course, instances where perpetual i'll temper or dissi- patton makes a maan unfit to live with, and no amount of cheerfulness and self denial will mitigate the hor. TOTS of a union with such person Happily for the good of the world. such cases are in the minority and need not be considered except as iso- lated cases. Such a union is deplora-. ble and must be studied we'll by the parties most interested If q proper so- lution of the difficulty Is to be arr rived at. Outside advice and inter- ference are worse than useless.
 It Is true that no woman Is made of wood. nor is her heart of stone. If 1t were she would not be a wife, though 1t does not necessarily follow that all women who do not marry are not capable of deep affection. There are many and varying causes which contribute to mantain the average of unmarried women, an average which is not increasing so fast that fear need be entertained of the extinction of the race. The opening of countless vacations. the ease with which wo- men may acquire the higher education, no doubt have had their influence in determining many to remain in state of single blessedness.
 Many girls are dominated by the spirit of independence. They are cap- able of earning liberal salary, and they hesitate to give up the career for which they have spent years of prep aration. They look about them, and the few cases of married unhappiness which come within the radius of their vision act as a deterrent. and they hesitate to give up a happy indepen- dence for the uncertainties of married life

while the greatest fears are that the Cbinese population, if not the govern ment. will be encouraged to abandon long doubtful neutrality and openly side with the victorious japanese. run the military point of view the most bitter disappointment is in the knowi- edge that the reversal seals the fate or inc heroic defenders of Port Arthur, who are now without hope Of succor from the outside world.
 remarkable feature throughout IS the nonular sympathy with General Ku- ropatkiu. viceroy Alexien Is again charged with responsibility for kuro- patkIn's attempt to take the assress- i've. Pity rather than criticism IS awarded the ill-starred general; but It is felt among army omcers that .hs military prestige of the whole of Rus sia has so suffered at his hands that IL is impossible that he can ever be given the chance to live over the disaster.

 An American gentleman then placed a 20- after pedestrian passed without seeing 1t. they were startled by the uproarious laugh ter from doors and windows. They stopped short looked confused and then hurried away with indignant glances at the merry makers.

New Work Herald.
 Why this constantly increasing num- Der of terrible railroad wrecks? What is the remedy?
 Last year nearly ten thousand per sons were killed and more than seven ty-six thousand persons injured in ac- cidents of all kinds on railroads in the United States. The number of lives lost exceeded by more than thousand that of any other year since the inter state commerce commission began 70 keep the account. The record this year is already appalling, and in the num- Der of great railroad disasters in wnicn q large number of passengers were killed and injured it is likely to ex- ceed last years frightful record.
 The interstate commerce commission Is greatly concerned, and. although this body can do no more than see 10 1t that the laws In regard to safety appliances and airbrakes are obeyed, It's members are giving serious considera- ton to the present situation. Summed up, the causes of the increasing num- ber of disasters, in the opinion of im- portant members of the commission, are:
 Causes and Remedies.
 1. Increase of traffic beyond the ca; pacity of railroad equipment.
 ?. The constant and almost criminal effort of railroad managers to render service beyond their facilities.
 3. Indifference and carelessness of railroad employees due In a majority of cases to compulsory overwork
 4. Roadbeds of insufficient construc- tion for the constantly increasing weight of rolling stock.
 5. Single tracks.
 Summed up, the best remedies. in the opinion of members of the commission, are:
 l. Extension of the block system of signals
 ?. Reduction of the hours of labor of railroad employees
 8. Elimination of all inexperienced men and boys in the train dispatching service. ,l
 A. Abolition of the train order system and substitution therefor of the electric staff system.
 5. Double tracks.
 Right here it ought to be stated that while I was talking with members of the interstate commerce commission to- day on this subject of wrecks a rail- road president, who. refused to have

Professor AIunyon says he believes
there is cure for every disease: GER
family he seems to have found one for
dyspepsia and most stomach troubles.
The strong Endorsements received and
the wonderful cures that are being
made prove beyond doubt that at last
nature has revealed the secret which
she has kept so long from man.
Thousands and thousands Of years
this Paw Paw fruit has grown in pleni-
tude all over India and South America.
Generations have como and generations
have gone without man discovering the
value OF this fruit. Thousands and thou
sands of lives could have been saved
had man known its medicinal qualities.
Like electricity It has always been
with US, but It took an Edison to har-
ness electricity and make it light the
Morld.
So It took Munyon to discover the
virtues of Paw Paw and give to the
world positive cure for most stomach
and nerve troubles.
Professor Munyon says people should
not 0yereat or overdrink just because
Paw Paw enables them to digest every
thing that is put into the stomach. He
