Governor Douglas of Massachusetts would have church and state cooperate to teach the peo. pie the sanctity of marriage. Tt is the business of our churches and schools to inculcate proper ideas of morality and life. It should, of course. be easier for a wife than for Il hus. band to obtain a divorce. Divorces should also be granted more freely when there are no children than where children are concerned. Our laws should make it impossible for parents to consider lightly their responsibility for and their duties to children

Books are saved both time and

their deposits for fear the
interest may stop; nor are they
obliged to come 20 the bank to
keep their interest alive. We
never wait for customers to bring
in their pass-books, but regularly
the first of April and October,
we credit on our books all inter-

ready for depositors whenever
they call for it. When interest
is not called for, We add same to

BadRes For clerrrmen.

Not infrequently we read of an acci-
dent or calamity Of some kind in a
great city where a Roman Catholic
priest appears on the scene and ad-
ministers comfort to the stricken or
dying. 1t is seldom that we read of a
Protestant minister in similar circum-
stances. A priest will be easily recog-
nlzed and readily admitted to an in
jured man. A minister is not so easily
recognized. Some may wear a cut of
clothing that viii confirm their claims
to be clergymen. but others do not.
Why should not Protestant ministers
who wish to improve every opportu-
nifty for doing good supply themselves
with badges. which they can always
wear, though concealed, but which they
can display when the emergency
arises, thus securing access to the cen
ter Of crowd where lies prostrate
man or to a burning building where the
average man is debarred? There would
need to be nothing on the badge ex-

Where tI.e LoI.e cnme 1n.

One day last week the editor of this
paper hung his coat up in the Office
while he went out to look after some
business at the quarry. In our coat
pocket we left our pocketbOok. When
we returned the pocketbook was gone,
and the sinner who stole it has not
repented sufficiently to return it and
apologize. The pOcketbook contained
some railroad transportation, a $40
promissory note that was past due and
a notice Of our overdraft at the bank,
but not one cent of the current coin
Of the realm. We have no fear of the
fellow using the transportation, be-
cause We are too well known along
the line to be impersOnated by a petit
larceny thief. If he can collect that
$40 note he is welcome to it, and if he
will settle the overdraft at the bank
in accordance with the notice we will
forgive him for stealing the pocket
book. He is evidently an amateur at
the business or he would have known
better than to put himself to the trou-
bic of stealing an editors pocketbook.
In our humble opinion the joke is on
the thief.-Marble City q. t. Enter

A Wonderful Old Lady.

On no one have heartier wishes been
GhOwered for her health and happi-
ness in the new year than the Baroness
Burdett-COutts, that most wonderful
OF women, now soon to be ninety years
Of age, Lady Burdett-C Coutts had her
great wealth left her when she was
but twenty-three by her father, Sir
Francis Burdett Few women, as may
well be imagined, refused more offers
Of marriage in her girlhOod than Miss
Angela Burdett-COutts. Lord Hough-
ton once exclaimed, Miss COutts likes
me, and that is because 1 never asked
her to marry me- Mrs. Browne, the
secretary and faithful friend of the
baroness, always kept a watch over
the suitors, and there are those who
say that had 1t not been for her coun-
selings Miss Angela might have given
her hand away earlier i'm life than she
did. The baroness has always known
how to use her money wisely. Her
charities have been munifcent, but she
has known just when to open her puEse
strings and when to refrain from doing
1t.

The report that st. Marks, in Venice,
one Of the most famous cathedrals in
the world, is in danger of collapse will
recall to many minds the accidents
that have at different times damaged
thermediaeval churches. Ruin, whether
partial or complete, is particularly no
ticeable among the English cathedrals.
whose structural weakness, arising
probably from lack OF scientific knowl-
edge or from poor workmanship, has
caused the fall of great towers or the
dislOcation of walls and arches Pc
terDorOugh, Chichester, Ely and York
cathedrals are well known examples
Of this decay. Those who have inves-
tigated the subject say that@,he mediae-
val architects made no exact calcula-
tions to secure sOlidity. They permit
ted construction that was often flimsy
and they failed properly to provide |
against the natural tendency of gothic |
arches to spread at the shoulders"
1t might be said, in view of the pre-
dicted short life of our skyscrapers,
that Americans are in no position to
critieise the old architecture on account
Of its imperfectiOns, but there is an
other side to the picture, for it happens
that there is today going up in New
York city an edifce designed not only
to charm the eye Of the artist, but also
defy the ravages of time.
The Cathedral of st. John the Divine,
which at present is only beginning to
rise above the ground, has a founda-

The diamond drill and made as solid

QUO vacuum cIeanine Proce...

A description of the vacuum cleaning
process which has been installed in a
new bank building sounds like dream
Of Utopia and suggests all sorts Of
blessed possibilities to the martyrs Of
the dustpan and the broom, whose war
against dirt is as weary as it is inef-
fectual. The center of the system is
tank in which a vacuum is maintained
by means of an electric pump and from
which pipes are conducted throughout
the building. In the various rooms
there are taps to which a flexible hose
may be attached, and at the other end
OF the hose is a nozzle, through which
the dust and dirt in room are sucked
in without cOntaminating the atmos-
phere. With this system the entire
building can be cleaned in three hours
at cost Of less than 500, the results
being incOmparably better than those
which could be accomplished by hand.
1t will probably be a long time before
such methods reach the homes of the
people, but the housekeeper who is Civ
en- to dreaming dreams will doubtless
picture to herself time when the city
will bring vacuum pipes into the
houses, just as it now puts in water |
pipes, and when the terrors of cleaning
viii be relegated to the remote past.

Alarm cIoeI.. on erare.tone..

The Indians of Pala, in the foothills
Of the Coast range in the southern part
of the state of California, were con-
verted to the Catholic faith by the
Jesuit fathers, who founded a mission
among them. Though some supersti-
tions prevail, their belieI in the resur-
rection is strong. Believing that the
dead must remain for some time in the
grave, they observe exactly the hour at
which the spirit departs, and the rude
wooden cross over each grave in the
cemetery states the exact hour, minute
and day on which tie person died.
from the arms Of one Of the
crosses is an alarm clock, with the
hands set at 6:57. The alarm at the
back Of the clock has been set at the
same moment. The person who placed
the clock there believes that at the
proper moment the alarm will sound
and will awaken the sleeping spirit

The FIammnrion calendar.

Camille Fiammarion, the celebrated
astronomer. proposes to introduce in
the French chamber Of deputies a bill
to make compulsory perpetual calen-
dar of his own. According TO his plan
the year should start at the vernal
equinox AIarch 2D, and every quarter
should contain two months of thirty
days and one month of thirty-one days.
This would make 3G4 days, and a fetc

leap year there would be two such
fete days. The same dates would al

Women Cooks.

"The day is not far off when women
cooks will be only a disagreeable mem.
Ory," remarked DR.. Robert E. Thomp-
son Of Philadelphia in the course of a
recent address, and the statement has
created not a little dissensiOn in the
City Of Brotherly Love, particularly
among the women. Continuing, Dr.
Thompson laid the blame for the ma
tional dyspepsia at the feet of the wo-
men cooks Of the country. The only
way to get rid of dyspepsia, he told
his hearers, was to get rid of the wo-
man cook. Women have no natural
gift for cooking" said this critic.
'They have been forced by the men
to engage in the culinary pursuit lust
as if it were as simple as washing a
handkerchief or blanket. They cook
what we like instead of what is good
for us, and their lack of knowledge Of
our requirements makes them directly
responsible for the sufferings thou
sands endure because of dyspepsia and
other ills traceable to bad cooking" In
furtherance of his argument DR..
Thompson asks what women ever,|
cooked ut the White House and which
Of the big hotels would dream Of Civ.
ing the position of chef to a woman.
Such work, he added, was essentially
within the field properly filled by men,

South Dakota is of an unknown fOrma-
tion. Other geolOgists incline to the
opinion that it is an extinct geyser.
perhaps a former outlet for the warm
mineral waters which now come to the
surface at Hot Springs and its vicinity.
some Of the formations show evidences
OF having been formed by the action OF
water, a warm mineral water, and
some, notably the frost work are so
delicate that they could not owe their
existence to the action of water but
must have been formed by gas or vapor

limestone labyrinth Of lockwood. sta

and frost work of such delicacy and
glistening whiteness that It crumbles
at the slightest touch.
The assures or creyices which form
the cave parallel each other at dis
fances Of from so to 300 feet apart.
These range from fifty to a hun
dred feet in height, and they are con-
nected by side passages hardly wide |
enough for an ordinary man to pass |
through. There are eight tiers or lay |
ers Of these fissures the lowest being
800 feet from the entrance. The cham
bers have all been found in the assures
and range in size from twelve feet
square to over three acres. A recent
survey of the cave disclosed the fact
that It covers an area of two miles
square.
The name wind cave is well deserv-
ed. In every moment of the year the
wind is rushing in or out of the en-
trance, its direction being regulated ,
by the rise and fall of the barometer. ,

RAILROAD TICKETS.

The Enormous Number OF These
Slips and What Becomes Of Them.
To the traveller who appears at a
railroad ticket Office about a minute
before train time and hurriedly de-
mands a ticket to one Of the 600 or 700
stations along the road there seems to
be no special reason why the agent
should not have the particular little
slip Of pasteboard he wants ready and
waiting for him, with the price at the
tip Of his tongue. Few people realize
how complicated is the system by
which these valuable tokens are pro-
vided nor how almost endless is their
number.
Take, for instance what is probably
the shortest though one Of the busiest
railway systems in the cOuntry-the
New York, New Haven and Hartford.
1t is estimated that 100000 tickets
are supplied each month to the various
agents along its linesA54, 100000 tick /
cts year, in other words. All these |
millions Of tickets include $500 dis.
tinct varieties, exclusive of the simple
card tickets used for local travel be-
tween different stations Of the road.
The number of these latter is of course
almost incalculable, for tickets from
every station to every other station on
the road with which it is likely to have
any considerable amount of traffic are
printed in large numbers, and it would
take mathematician well versed in
the law Of combinations to determine
he total quantity issued.
"Foreign tickets"-that is, tickets en-
-itling the holder to travel over other
ines than those of the company that
ssues them-prescnt an interesting
'rOblem for the general ticket agent.
1e must see that his representatives
t all stations are supplied with the
amiliar strips of paper that entitle
he purchaser to travel to one or an
ther Of the important strategic trans
ortation points in the United States.
or those persons whose peculiar
lstes may lead them to some little
nown or unfrequented corner of the

As soon as foreign ticket is sold

the various companies concerned in E
