GREATEST CIRCUS
 OF MODERN TIMES.

Call all the others what you will, but when all is said and told and retold, there is but one Grand Circus which is in every particu- ular and detail the greatest and grandest of the entire worlds circuses, and that is the Sells & Downs United shows that are coming to Newport on Tue 5day, Oct. 27, in all its magnificence, it's unrivaled spendor, it's un- equaled numbers and vast pre- portions. Under the greatest city of snow-white tents ever erected on any grounds will be seen fully one hundred-count them!- fully one hundred and fifty superior and supreme acts too numerous to classify, too many to name, too multiferous to. describe Bareback riding, hurdling, trick, fan:y a d men, age riding, aerial ac s, grand gymnastics, tumoliag, vaulting, leaping, athletic, contort.on feats, juggling, equilibristic pole balan- cing, breaking Ia lders and other acts.
 This season Sells & Downs have secured the famous Ponti- ac Zouaves, the finest drilled sol- diers in the world, and Capt. Winston's Wonderful Seals and Sea Lions. They are trained to play the banjo, drums and sing comic songs. In fact, they are marvellous beyond description.

MARRIAGE REFORMS.
Advocated by University Professor
 in Book Recently Issued.
plans Include State Supervision Of All! Contracts and Liberal Divorce Laws-Evtls in the Social
 Structure.

State supervision of all marriage contracts. uniform and liberal divorce laws. the abolition of the common law marriage and the education of the young in sex problems are few of the reforms advocated in a new book about to be issued at the University of Chicago.
 The work, in three largo volumes. represents 12 years research work on she part of Dr. George Elliot Howard former head of the department of his- tory at the University of Nebraska, and until recently occupying similar post ax Leland Stanford. Jr.. univer- sity. Prof. Howard is the most recent addition to the staff of the lecture division of the University of ChicaED
 Our present dual system by whicf marriages may be solemnized by eth. or civil officers or clergymen, Is not the ideal plan" says Prof. Howard. "It Is too complex and Is an obstacle in the way of the development of an effective system of matrimonial legis- lation. It is awkward and thoroughly illogical to intrust the execution of the laws to two classes of persons; one civil officers created by the state, the other completely beyond such control. The license system is also uncertain and complex in many of it's features
 Radical reform in the administra. ton of matrimonial legislation is task for future legislators. Every county should be divided into districts, for each of which registrar should be appointed to license, solemnize and register all marriages civilly contract cd therein and to license, register and attend all religious celebrations of marriage.
 "The lawmaker cannot reach the root of the divorce, evil. It is planted deeply in the social structure and is In a great measurs due to false senti- ment regarding marriage and the fam- fly, . sentiment which can only be removed by more rational education. Carefully drawn and uniform statutes can, however, render conditions favor able for the operation of this needed social reform We need new education in the problems of sex and this in Dtruction should be- given to tho young, not prudishly. but frankly, and perhaps while the child is still in high Jchool.
 "The fact that four of our states New York, Utah, California and Mis- vtssippi-have liberated themselves by statutory enactments from tho common law marriage within tho past ten years Is of vast social import and from 1t reformers may take courage. In such legislation lies our hope of be- 'ug able to free America from the wills of the common law marriage.
 "The trouble in . nutshell is that there is less care exercised in the mat Ing of human beings than there is In the breeding of fat stock. By exercis- Ing care in contracting unions we shall volve the so-called divorce problem.

This was done at the rate oe 8 Is cards . minute. Far more note worthy is tho memory of an expert pi- mo player. who will play an entire sea- ,on's concerts without note of printed music before him. His memory is % perfect that hundreds of thousands o( aotes must be at the orderly and instant disposal of the will. And this is com bined with . multiplicity of synchronoua recollections- of timbre. tempo. express sion, etc.
 The mystery is at present past the limiting of any explanation. and this fact Is as beautiful as it is appalling. IL shows us. declares American Medicine. now far we are from any real science of psychology. MA, Physicians note the strange thrusting of sdisesse among the mechanisms of memory. the morbid ef- fects of some neoplssm or injury to parts of the convolutions of tho brain where. by some memories are lost temporarily or permanently, in part or completely, while others are unaffected.

 But through these morbid injuries we catch tantalizing glimpses which some day, properly studied and followed up. may bring some psychologist physi eian to an unraveling of the mystery.

HE GETS A MONEY ORDER.
With tho Money He Doesn't Want ta Spend When Out with
 the Boys.

1 "One of the queerest things l ever heard of," said . young man, who sometimes keeps late hours, relates the Providence Journal '>is the action of . friend of mine, who has . knack of saving, despite the fact that sometimes when he meets a friend he celebrates too much. He always after he has had . few drinks and realizes that lhe will take more before the end 'of the evening, takes an account of stock, as you may say. He finds a corner somewhere and there Agures up the amount of cash on hand. Then he starts for the post oflce.
 "When he gets there he buys . money order, payable to himself, for an amount equal to the great. CT part of the sum he has on hand. This done, he mails the order to himself, and then, certain of say. ing that much of his money, at least, through the evening, ks starts out to resume the joyous oc- supation of enjoying himself. It is a great scheme, and one l never heard of anyone else using. It works very we'll, indeed, with him. I have seen men sive a part of their money to bartender to take care of for them, but this scheme of buying a money order for your. self beats that. And you can get a money order at the Providence post office any hour of the night, Eov.s

but the plantation has not been aban-
doned by any means. We are simply
waiting for a season, to make change
in the cane. Lahaina cane has been
grown on the plantation so long that
the stock has deteriorated and we in
tend to substitute Caledonia. Last sea-
son we planted hundred and fifty
acres of Caledonia and it did so much
better than the Lahaina that we will
put all our lands in Caledonia next
season. We are. growing seed for that
purpose now. and expect to plant
enough Caledonia to furnish seed for
the entire plantation. There is no in
tention on the part of the agents to

Plant Growth.

There is gradually dawning a belief
that plant growth is more or less of a
chemical process that may be acceler-
ated or retarded by the application OF
the proper reagents, generally in the
form of fertilizers, and that the ulti-
mate growth is usually far in excess OF
the value Of the material applied. This
is apropos of some investigations that
have been conducted by NJ. Nagaoka
Of the Toxic Imperial university, in
stimulating rice growth by the stinu
latimg action Of manganese in the form
Of manganese sulphate. A yield of 81
per cent over a field fertilized in the
usual manner was obtained by this in
vestigator and the value Of the in
creased crop was equal to four times
the cost of the chemical applied.
