Hasty Marriages.

A popular picture represents a mud-bespattered
coachman sitting in the tap-room of an FnoIisb
inn, telling to group of his fellow-servants +ba
story Of the eloping lovers who sit on the orber
side of the partition.
The popularity of the picture doubtless r,nra
sents the attitude of the general public toward
the young man and the young woman who have
determined to marry in spite of opposition Il Is
the old story of all mankind loving lover and +
any further evidence were needed it could he
found in the prominence of news Of elopements
and in the renressed editorial chuckle with which
certain places are called the Gretna Greens Of
America.
All this manifestation of sympathy may SPRING
from wholesome sentiment, but it is i'll consiI-
cred. The parents of these young people have
clothed and fed and educated and cared for Them
only to be made a laughing stock when they seek
to advise their son or their daughter in the most
serious event Of life. Their labors and their
sacrifices are entitled to more consideration than
this.
Most of the hasty and clandestine marriages
are performed by justices of the peace or other
civil servants; but not a few are sOlemnized by
clergymen who thereby sacrifice their dignity
and lower the standard which the church ought
everywhere to maintain. Is it any wonder that
divorces are common when youth who is earn
ing hardlv enough to support himself find
some one willing, without question, to marry him
to a SCHOOLGIRL in short dresses?
The young people themselves may not be de-
tered by any advice which could be offered but
if The Companion might be permitted to address
a word to them it would be this: Consider first
of all whether haste be necessary; whether any
thing will be lost by waiting. Then think little
of the father and mother who will have to
their wound in silence.

The Battle-Hymn of the Reformation.

The world knows Martin Luther as a reformer:
comparatively few know him as a musician and
hymologist, writes Allan Sutherland in the Au-
gust Delineator. Luther wrote some thirty
hymns and Psalm revsions, and these have been
translated into many languages His masterpiece,
however. GA Mighty Fortress Is Our God"
the great battle-hymn of the Reformation, which
is as dear to the German heart as the Fatherland
itself, each being inseparably associated with the
other. 1t is said that this hvmn ACCOMPLISHED as
much for the Reformation did the translation
of the Bible. D'Aubigne says that "it was sung
in all the churches of Saxony, and it's energetic
strains often revived and inspirited the most de-
iected hearts" 1t sung at Luther's funeral
and it's first line is carved on his tomb It was
first published about 1921 and has been translated
at least eighty times, doubtless the most accurate
being the version of Thomas Carlisle. That of
DIR. Frederick Henry Hedge, beginning "a mighty
fortress is God,' is the most popular in use
in this country Kostlin has well written "This
hymn is Luther in song. It is pitched in the very
key of the man-rugged and majestic trustful in
God and confident, speaking out to the powers
of the earth and under the earth, an all-conquer-
ing conviction of divine vocation and empower
ment." The world has many sacred songs of ex-
ouisite tenderness and unalterable trust but this
one of Luthers is matchless in its war-like tone,
its rugged strength, and it's inspiring ring.

Danger in the House-Fly.

Man long ago found out that it was uncomfort
able to let a fly alight on the end Of his nose;
the scientist has recently discovered that it is
even dangerous to have it walking over his victu

bacteria gathered among the filth in which it
breeds!
The common house-fy generates in stables
etc. Revolving as is the thought, it is an I'M
Fashionable fact that germs from these places are
carried directly into homes where these six-fooed
folks have ingress. If germs of typhoid or other
infectious disease are in the neighborhoOd, they
may be widely disseminated through this medium.
Cleanliness is the best preventive. Remove
all garbage. and as far as possible have nothing
to attract these scavengers or nature. Screen
doors and windows offer little obstruction to ven
tilation, and are now so cheap as to be within
reach of nearly every one Wire cloth, for pro
tecting the windows is still cheaper Sticky fy

PLANTS FOR WATER GARDENS.
Typical Plants for Fifteen Different Kinds of Water
Gardens.

l. For a general collection in artificial pond
anything except victorias Better begin with
Marlac's hybrids. Louis and other rampant kinds
should be restrained by masonry.
2. For tubs aud for the smallest ponds-Lay-
dekers hybrids.
3. For a sunny brookslde garden-hardy water
lilies and Japan iris.
4. For large body of water where water lilies
may be naturalized on larpe scale-the sweet
scented water lily On. odorata), Indian and
American lotus.
5. For a bog garden-no water lilies but
splendid colonies of marsh-mallow cardinal flow
er. wild rice, and forget-me-
6. For brook that dries in summer-n. odora-
ia var. minor On. Union).
7. For deep water and to be planted by ITSELF
because rampant-the tuberous water ilv.
8. For water that is too cold for other water
ilies-Swedish rosy water lily On alba, var. rosea>
known to the trade n. sphaerocarpa).
9. For swift-running streams hardy water
lily that you can anchor down in some way
10. For the home conservatory-the tender
species, partically the night boomers because
people who haven't greenhouses can't enjoy these
in winter.
H. For the South and California-the Victorias
and the most tropical water lilies, because the
North never grow them so we'll, even with
Carnegie's handbook
u. For the rich man-Victoria regia, the most
magnificent plant in the vegetable kingdom and
the only worth lavishing money upon for
artificial heat in summer.
13. For the brightest men who live in a line
with Washington or Philadelphia- -Tricker's Vic
toria the only one that can be outdoors
