The range of temperature suited tc
terrestrial life is comparatively narrow.
All vital actions are suspended tempo
rarily, some permanently, if subjected
to a temperature near the freezing point;
while the highest that most organisms
can zeal lies somewhere between So de-
grees and 113 degrees Fahrenheit. Only
the spores of certain bacteria can sur
rive boiling. 1t is, therefore, probable
that if the general temperature of the

A Beautiful Custom

In the mountains of Tyrol, it Is the
custom of the women and children to
come out when it is bedtime, and sing.
Their husbands, fathers, and brothers
answer them from the hills ON their
return home. On the shores of the
Adriatic such a custom prevails. There,
the wives Of the fishermen come down
about sunset, and sing a melody. AZ
ter singing the first stanza, they listen
awhile for an answering melody from
off the water, and continue to sing and
listen till the well known voices come
borne on the waters, telling that the
loved one is almost home. How sweet
to the weary fishermen, as the shad-
ows gather around him, must be the
songs Of the loved ones at home that
sing to cheer him, and how they must
strengthen and tighten the links that
bind together these dwellers by the
sea-

LaXity and diversity of the laws re.
lat1ng to marriage in the various States
or the Union are justly blamed for the
growth Of what may almost be called
the divorce habit in America. YET
there are a few general tendencies
which do not derive their origin and
force from individual lives. Personal
reforms are often needed Nafore legis-
lative reforms can be effective. II
may fairly be asked whether the con-
fusion of pleasure and happiness in
many minds Is not responsible for a
great deal Of trouble. The two things
differ In that one is transitory and the
other abiding. Now, If there is any
M quality of matrimony which should
distinguish 1t from other conditions of
life, 1t Is the quality Of permanence
Happiness rather than pleasure should
be the token Of its success. 1t is a
limited view of marriage which looks
rwa chiefly to the pleasure of hav-
ing ones W Notwithstanding sense
of proprietorship on the part of the
man, the greater freedom in MANY
fields of activity for the m The
whole chorus of experience proclaims
the rather tiresome, true story that the
real satisfactions Of marriage come
from quite other sources-the sharing
Of responsibilities and experiences, the
surrender Of certain personal prefer
ences, the daily, yearly growth Of SYM
pathy and understanding. 1t is hard
to make all young persons believe the
truth Of these thrice familiar state
ments. 1t may be just as hard to give
them a realizing sense of the dis
tlnction between happiness and pleas
ure. They must learn most of 1t for
themselves. This Is meant merely as
a guide-post, pointing in what seems
the right direction.

When that brave sailor sought a western way
To p~earl-filed Ind and curious Cathay,

A doubled journey for the circling sun.

OF intuition of another earth,
He could not dream his sons would search the heights
Amid a maze of suns and satellites.

It's won a grander crown than it had guessed.
