The Marrying Mood.

1t is safe to say that if there were no love to
urge men and women into marriage there would
be very few weddings and mankind would finally
become as extinct as the dodo If marriages
should be made after mature deliberation and
careful reasoning one might expect those con-
traoted by persons of advanced age to be the ham
pest. And yet that is not the common expert
ence. The common experience is that the bappiest
marriages those which take place early in life
and that when an elderly man or woman gets mar
rled-we are not speaking of widows and widow
ers-they more frequently make a mess of II. The
reason for this is not hard to find 1t is absolute
ly essential to the happiness of welded life that
there should be common, concessions. Two minds
cannot always think alike two people cannot al
ways desire the same thing. One of them must.
therefore, give way. Yqnng people can learn to
do this moro readily than older ones. As to the
wisdom of getting married and marrying young.
there should not be two opinions. Home life IS
the most wholesome and the very best estate, and
every woman should be hotnemaker There are
many things, as society is now organized which
mlhtate against marriages except among the rich
and the very poor. Among the very poorest
classes of the population poverty is not consid-
cred bar TO marriage. But there is great class
Ill every community which is ambitious to keep
up appearances" and which thinks it cannot af-
tord to marry. The young woman has been used
to living with q certain amount of luxury and
there IS dslncllnaton TO fall lower in the social
scale by living in cheaper neighborhoed and
with fewer of the comforts and conyeniences of
life, Each one wishes to begin where the parents

The Increase of Suicides.

Io recent issue of The Independent. Mr..
George L. Upton, associate editor of the Tribune
OF Chicago, contributed some statistics of suicide
which III any other country inevitably would ex-
cite alarm. The present witnesses societies to put
down Mormopsm, to put down divorce, to increase
Sunday observance to prevent national, state and
nunlclpal graft and to race suicide. If
Mr.. Upton's compilation be accurate, there is need
OF nationat movement to put down suicide itself
or suicide is clearly on the increase. Nor is
the increase gradual, might be supposed 1t is
advancing by leaps and bounds During the last
thirteen no less than 1871 cases of suicide
have beeen reported in the newspapers of the
United States In 1891 there were 33 53t suicides
In 1896, $3.50. In 1901, five years later there were
I,245. Last year there were S597. Considering
that number of cases never get into the Associ-
atedPress dispatches, the American rate from this
cause is something appalling Certainly it is
startling reflection upon civilization. In pagan
Greece and pagan Rome suicide was not regarded
with horror. The heathen Buddhists do not hold
it dishonorable today Apparently the paganiza-
ton OF America is having its usual effect at the
present hour
Charging the increase to the organization of
the masses is justified, moreover, when we look
abroad. Admittedly tremendous de- Christiani-
zation has taken place in France during the last
third of century. Afr. Upton sites statistics
showing that Nin France the ratio is now 22.4 as
against ISL per 100000 twenty-five years ago; in
1cTuiahy ABOUT tne same lathohc austria shows
only 80; Hungary. 81. The Koensche Voks-
zeitung same months ago, in careful analysis
OF German statistics, proved that in Catholic com
munties suicides were fewer thar. in non-Catholic
Analysing government statistics last year, the
Freeman's Journal of Dublin showed that suicide
is rarer in Catholic Ireland than in any other
country Almost daily the fact is made plain to
us that the population of Russia, as a whole are
intensely religious, are not surprised to find

Great Britain's Financial Deficit.

Great Britain Is confronted with disagreed
bic necessity. In time of peace and after an abate
ment of war taxes which seemed to be warranted
by existing conditions the national revenues arc
found Insufficient for the purposes of government.
The deficit ran all the way from $20000,000 to
$300o0.000 the past year. Austen Chamberlain
prefaced his plan for increasing the revenue by
stating that the cotton industry is greatly de-
pressed because of the sharpness of competition.
The markets in which British trade has been su-
preme are slipping away. Failure of expectations
in South Africa has upset all calculations regard
ing revenue from that quarter. As a remedy for
the shortage, Mr.. Chamberlain proposes 2-cent
increase of the income tax; a 4-cent increase on
the tea tax and increase of the tobacco tax The
income tax increase will afford about $10,000,00O
additional revenue. the tobacco, $2T5@000, and the
tea tax about S10,000000. The tea and tobacco
raise was passed by close vote of the house, but
it is hard to see anything than temporary
resort in this increase of taxation.
British cotton industries appear to be confront
ed with hard condition that is not likely to be
remedied The mills are dependent upon. the
United States for their supply of material.
In the past these mills merely had to compete with
New England, German and French cottons. 1t
cost fully as much to transport cotons to the CON
tinent as to England. The difference in transpor
tation charges between the southern cotton fields
and the New England mills was Insignificant. For
years past the cotton industry has been moving
closer to the field of production. The increase of
mills IN the south is matter of wonder, and at
the present rate of increase in home consumption
it will be but few years when American mills
will absorb nearly all the cotton the south pro-
duce. With improved mills cheap labor an elm
ination of charges for transportation of
terra and steady gain in American foreign trade,
the outlook for British eottons is not promising.
South Africa, instead of proving producer
of revenue, is national burden. The necessities
for railroad construction and various public inn
provements are pressing hard The gold mines
of the Rand district, in spite of every effort, can
not be forced to more than half their former pro-
ducton. Naval expenditure cannot stop. for the
navy is a nations bulwark of defense. To plant
colonies in new territory and bring them up to
revenue paving basis is work of a generation,
and almost as soon as a colony is able to pay
taxes for the support of a crown it finds taxation
an ntolerable burden and threatens to assert its
independence unless the tax is removed. Patri-
otic appeals in support of zollverein appear to
fall upon deaf ears, and the British government
finds itself in much the same predicament of the
old woman who lived in shoe and had so many
children she didn't know what to do.-Detroit

In the old days, also the church treated suicide
victims much as it did murderers. and not only
condemned them to eternal punishment, but to
earthly ignominy by refusing them Christian bu-
rial; but with the weakening of ecclesiastical
authority. and growing doubt of eternal punish
