Scale of Justice Equally.

If the negro now in Charlotte jain
for assaulting a white woman in her
own home had escaped arrest and
gone back to that home by night ana
entered it by raising a window he
wound have committed a capital Of
Tense against the laws of North Caro-
lima Yet such a crime, the mere en-
trance by Stealthy force of an occu'
pied home at night, seem far less
grave than that actually perpetrated,
which, forbidding enough as it is. is
still less henious than it was possibly
intended to be. But for the crime OF
assault with lustful intent, the pens
atty is only Imprisonment for term
of years. Here it seems is another in
stance where it is difficult for the law
to balance the scales of justice evenly
AS between mere burglar and the
criminal VINO assaults a woman under
the circumstances of this case, it looks
to a layman as if the latter is filter
subject for the rope remedy than the
former Nor do we believe the color
line affects the correctness of this con-
cluSiOn.

more than that. They are forces of

of duty to stand for the best interests
Of the people. He must print the

china wedding must wait three years more for the crystal wedding which signifies fifteen years Of wedlock. Cut glass is now the proper gift. and in this there is endles variety.
 After twenty years comes the linen wedding. It is to be hoped that a shower of fascinating articles will then fall on the wife. By this time sons and daughters assist in making the fete a success.
 The twenty-hfth year brings the sil- yer wedding; then follows a long stretch in which no special name, is given to a wedding anniversary, yet they are not to be neglected nor over- looked. The fiftieth year brings the golden wedding. and the sfxtieth year of mar riage the diamond weding.
 A golden wedding day is an event worth celebrating in family history, Through the shadow and shine of fifty years onward from youth to old age, the couple have fared together. Proba- bly, most of those who were guests at their wedding have passed away, but there are a few who finger. and they should be honored beyond other friends, | when the children and grandchildren, the neighbors and kinsfolk assemble to give congratulations on the gala oc- casion. s,N
 The decorations should be yellow deepening to gold, and whatever the season, flowers may be found which will oarry out this color scheme. The bridal pair should receive their friends at the end of the room with a special back ground of flowers, amid which in. white lettering should stand out the two dates, thus: 1855. 1905, or whatever the years may happen to be. The same color scheme, yellow deepening to gold should be carried out in the table where the refreshments are served, and golden gifts are in order. Sometimes a purse of broad pieces is made up and given to the pair. with the request that they shall spend the money strictly for their own qualification.
 Very few couples are spared to cele- brate a diamond wedding. But as the. health rate of people in general is ev-' anywhere on the increase, and life is longer than 1t used to be, We may cher ish hope that diamond weddings may cease to be infrequent.
 Wedding anniversaries I repeat should never be passed by without mo- tice. The household need not always call in friends from outside. but in the home the day that was home's start point should be marked by some unusual joy.
 It is a good thing to be lifted out of the commonplace We are too apt to get into a rut and stay there. Perhaps we drift into thinking that money-mak- Ing and money-saving are the only worthwhile things in tho world. To stop and spend time, thought and money on simple pleasure Is now and then wholesome experience.

ADoRNING HOME PRHsGIsEs.
Progress of Organised and IndivsGual
 Efforts In That Direction.

Progress of Organised and Inafvs6uaA
 Efforts In That Direction.
 Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 The recent bulletin of the American Civic Association tells how organiSsd and individual effort Is being directed in many cities to the adorning Of the home premises. The growth of the park systems has been taken as hint by private persons that they can ems bellish their own yards as well ana far more easily than the public author- fties can lay out parks and bouievardas and that the sum total of this private effort will add largely to the health, happiness and convenience of the whole population. The school gardens in va rious cities have given this movement a new impetus. No home is so humble that 1t cannot at least have flower pots in its windows. and no back yard so small that cannot support few fiow- CTS. In the adornment of walls and fences. too. the possibilities of beauty contained in the humblest vines are beginning to be recognized.
 It has long and justly been a reproach to Americans that they are so devoted to the material and practical that ideas have been neglected. It is beyond d.s- pute that as respects artistic adorn- ment the average American home or town is inferior to the foreign home or town. This has been notoriously the case in the country, where the Amer ican pioneer chopped or burned every tree in sight of his homestead, then had to set out shade trees for the ben. efit of his grandchildren.
 It is only lately that American cities and private citizens have embarked ups on intelligent and comprehensive en- ternrises of city and home adornment. Europe is old and staid: America young and restless. with a large migratory population which never stops long enough in one place to have home. In this respect. things are changing. and what is to be made a home only for few years can in a short time, un- der the favorable circumstances of iiv- ing here, be made as attractive artis- tically as many European homes which have been such for generations. This country owes to its population of re- cent European origin large share of the credit for the newly awakened in- terest in natural beauty effects.
