SEEKTYa COMP4NY.

Some of the Democrats of New Ha- ven at last show signs of Q desire and intention to get together. They have formed an organization which is head ed by steady and sturdy Democrat and additionally of1cered by other steady and sturdy Democrats. They seem, to mean business, or, at least, to hope to do business. And as it has. been a long time since there was anything business like about the performances of the. New Haven Democrats the present move- ment is decidedly interesting. Time will tell what it will achieve. As it stands now, it is an indication of re- newed hope and fresh faith, which re- newal and freshness are perhaps some- what warranted by the situation. Any how, the pleasure of hope and the com fort of faith cannot fairly be denied even to Democrats, So the new organ ization may be cautiously wished suc- cess, except success on election day. It is good thing for the Democrats of New Haven to get together They have been sad and lonely. Misery loves com pany, and is we'll entitled to it.

The Modern LOchInvar.

When young Lochinvar rode out from
 the west He claimed that his automobile was the
 best; It was painted dark red and it brilliant
 ly shone; He fired his chauffeur and ran it
 alone; He shot over ruts with zipp and a
 jar, And people fled madly from young
 Lochinyar. With whirr of his wheels and a hum
 of his cogs He knocked down the children and ran
 over dogs; He frightened the horses and laughed
 at their pranks, And men who got angry he looked on as
 cranks; He gave her the very last notch on the
 bar, And a cloud of dust followed the gay
 Itochinvar. He stayed not at bridges, he stopped not
 for stone, He calmly took all of the roads as his
 own, Till he came to a crossing and smashed
 through gate And endeavored to butt through a
 tr.@l load of freight They searched and at last, lying under
 a car. They found few chunks of the bold
 Lochinvar.

more readily understood than on the supposition that it originated there. Such a hypothesis (direct evidence of which must always remain hidden for the most part under the antarc- tic ice) would also explain the curi- ous fact that the only marsupials now living elsewhere than in Australia are in South America, one species, our opossum, ranging north to the Central United States. Fossil re- mains of primitive marsupials abound In the early Tertiary rocks of Pata- gonia, and by the time of the Oligo- cene era opossums had spread over all North America and Europe The notable funal and floral resemblance in general between Australia and South America, increasing as it is traced backward in geological history, can be explained only by some sort
 of former land connection now sub merged, presumably antarctic.

The situntlon and the Ontlook.

To Editor of the Journal and Courier: What is New Haven coming to? We read with pain and sorrow of an Alder man entering the saintly presence of Who's Who, and in the full panoply of his Aldermanic nerve advocating the tearing down of Center church, and erecting the new library upon It's site.
 Then before we are over the shock of this heresy we learn that two Alder- men voted to place the new library in the Proprietors field
 The picture of the future looks dark and dreary. Muzzled dogs sit bowling upon the ruins of Center church; the city refuses to buy Lighthouse Point for a public park until the overcrowd- ing of East Rock and West Rock parks is proved by photographs, showing that at least three people a day visit these parks; the Womans Civic league de- mands that an ordinance be passed for bidding those dear little fur dandies to sing their tuneful ditties during the night, and the heart grows sad, lump comes in the throat, and the eyes fill Take me somewhere south of Hades,
 Where the best is like the worst,
 Where there are no honest movements
 And man can drown his thirst.

CH1yA,s ANrT-oprUM LAT.

The Chinese anti-opium law seems to mean business. Not only the cultiya- ton of the poppy, but the use of opium must cease within ten years. No new ground can be placed under cultiva- tion, and ground under cultivation must be restricted by one-tenth annu- ally, If the regulation is evaded the ground can be confsoated. All con- sumers of opium are to be registered with the amounts they consume. With out being registered no one can buy the drug. Allowance is to be made for opium consumers who are more than sixty years old. Those under this gge must decrease their use of the drug 20 per cent. a year. Magistrates who break the rule will be cashiered, schol- ars deprived of their certificates. All opium dens are to be closed within six months. All opium shops are to be registered and closed gradually Anti dotes to the drug are to be distributed at cost price, or even gratuitously in case of need, by specially appointed officials. All high officials, princes, dukes, viceroys. and Tartar generals under sixty must inform the throne that they will. abandon the drug with in a certain time. During that time they can have a substitute. When they are cured they can resume their duties All other officials under sixty must abandon the use within six months. If unable to discontinue the habit, they can retain their rank, but must retire from office. Those who continue the use of opium secretly will

4 USE TOR OLD rR0ysIDrS.

Secretary Bonaparte wants to have "Old Ironsides" made historically and sentimentally useful, The work au- thorlzed by congress at its last session for the preservation of the old ship is in progress. Much of the upper woodwork, which proved to be very badly decayed, has been removed and suitable supports inserted, so that the vessel may be docked without danger to her integrity. Inasmuch as it has been detersoined to spend the considerable sum appropriat- ed for her preservation, Secretary Bo- naparte recommends that she be so far further reconstructed as to be made seaworthy. In his last report he stat ed that, if so rebuilt, she would be ab- solutely useless; experience has led him to modify this opinion The depart ment he says, is frequently requested to send ships of war to take part, and especially to fire salutes, in patriotic celebrations at seaport towns. If the Constitution were in condition to be lowed from port to port she would be very serviceable for this purpose and would certainly serve much better to awaken interest in the navy and remind the public of it's honorable traditions than if kept as mere object of curios- ity at a single naval station.
 This is a reasonable notion Much more reasonable than the notion that it would "pay" to destroy the famous old ship.

 MRS PARSONS IS OUTDONE.
Lucy B. Thwing Puts Betrothals ir Family Doctors Hands and Physi. elan AhnYe Pastor

Lucy B Thwing Puts Betrothals in
 Family Doctors Hands and Physi-
 elan Above Pastor.
 Betrothal under the sanction of the family physician, not trial marriage, is the idea advanced by Mrs Lucy B. Thwing, a scholarly Philadelphian, to counter the remarkable views set forth by Mrs Elsie Clews Parsons of New York in her recent book, The Family"
 Mrs Thwing, who is the wife of Prof Charles Barton Thwing, an eminent physicist, regards Mrs Parsons rem edy as impracticable. From a long study of the marriage problem-for Mrs Thwing is almost as deep stu dent as is her husband of such ques- tions-she has decided that the be- trothal should be a much more sol emn arrangement than at present, and that it should be subject to 'ratfica- ton" by physician, just as the mar riage ceremony propers is by magis- trate or clergyman.
 She writes:
 Some one surely ought to remind Mrs Parsons and the bishops who feel agitated about her book that we al- ready have the matter of trial mar riages well provided for, but we call 1t betrothal.
 Perhaps many are not quite care ful enough to make the betrothal as fully serviceable as 1t should be In many ways, but we usually announce it, encourage a ring as symbol of definite sort of relation, and make all sorts of preparations for the more binding eremony-eXcept. perhaps, that most essential preparation the solemn and careful inquiry, by both maid and man, into their mutual fit ness for marriage
 The doctor of medicine is as fit and fully as necessary to bless the be- trothal as the doctor of divinity is suitable for the marriage proper. If I left out either, 1t would be the doc tor of divinity But I should not leave out either It were better to consult both.
 Most of us believe in our hearts what the church teaches-that di- vorce, once a person is married, is impossible. It is felt that these are no more twain, but one flesh.
 Because this is true, it must be admitted that Mrs Parsons has found a needful line of research. Let us not try to hinder her, but to help her.
 All the older peoples have such a convention as has been suggested Usually 1t means far more than ours is ordinarily supposed to mean to the betrothal pair.
 The Hebrews put up tent, or It's equivalent, and left the lovers alone in 1t. The Brahman looks over his new wife, and, if pleased, makes her a mother, but if he thinks her unfit she remains in his house as a ser want He certainly has room to excer- else his intelligence.
 Under the Jewish laws the woman also made her choice before marriage.

LIFE FROM THE ANTARCTIC
 CONTINENT

That it is possible and plausible to believe that Australia and South America were populated, in the dis tant past, and to certain extent, from the south-polar region, is one of the many novel features of Ernest Ingersol's new book, The Life of Mammals" lately published by the Macmillan company Referring to the fact that with the exception of the American opossums all the tribe of pouched animals (Marsupials) are confined to the Australian region, he tells us that this fact Is usually ex- pained by the statement of scientists that Australia and it's neighboring islands were connected with Asia pre- vious to the Jurassic period, but since that time have been separated from 1t by the deep channels along Wal lace's line; at that time Australia seems to have been much more ex- tensive than at present, embracing within it's mainland Tasmania.

HOUNDS BY 4 FRIEND.

It is pretty well known that Marie Corelli is no admirer of Man, but her contempt for him hasn't blinded her to some of the things she doesn't ad- mire in Woman. For instance, she thinks Woman should not allow her self to be given away" by her fash ion papers in the way she is. In those papers, she says, Man sees Woman as the fool rampant. She is depicted as semibald, holding her wig in one hand, ready to put it on. She is shown in a half-nude state, very thin and scraggy, but again unblushingly hold ing artifcially moulded portions of her body which nature failed to supply in readiness to fasten over the hollow places. She is exhibited plainly and pitilessly as swindle. Do women, Marie Corelli continues, imagine that men never look at such papers? New CT perceive the bold, prominent chal- lenge of these degraded advertise nents, which instruct them as to what a painted, powdered, padded, dyed, frizzed, shameless creature a woman may be, and often is?'
 That's pretty plain talk, but of course it will have no effect on women or on men. Women will continue to be beautiful at any cost, and men will continue to appreciate and admire them at any cost.

, Caledonia. and other present island
 It is a fair inference that previous to
 and during the Jurassic period Aus
 tralia, as a part of the Asiatic con
 tinent, became peopled with the only mammals then in existence-the small primitive marsupials. Then the is- land-coninen was cut off; and they were left to work out their destiny undisturbed by any immigration of alien competitors or destructive ene- mies To this fortunate isolation, per haps more than to anything else, they owe their immeasurably long surviv- al, for before the close of the next era the influences and competition abroad in Europe and Asia had killed off all the marsupials that had re- mained there.
 Mir. IngersolI suggests, however, that it is possible that this whole matter of the spread of primitive marsupiaIs (and of some other of the older types) has been viewed wrong end to-" Various facts and indica- tions point to the probability that the southern HellIspHele IeSelNeu us dNl- mai life first from original centers of birth and distribution in the South Polar reigon then mild and fruitful in climate If this were so, then the adjacent Australian country would have become populous first, and the spread of marsupials would have been onward into Asia and Europe, until the more distant were cut off by water gap opened early in the 'Cretaceous era along Wallace's Line; and the early disappearance of this race from the mainland would be
