Easy Maria ge.

Marriage by contract is an exceeding
ly simple process, The two persons de
slrous of being welded go to lawyer
to have the contract drawn up or OBJ
tain blank form at the office of the
city clerk. Then they appear before II
notary public. justice of the peace or
any other official holding the necessary
legal authority ana acknowledge the
contract. That is all there is to it. Tn
der the laws of New York they are
legally married, as though they had
gone through Il solemn ceremony in a
big cathedral.
The policy of the lawmakers of New
York has long been that of making
marriage as easy as possible. The rest
of the country, however is beginning
to suspect that what is needed is more
carefuness in this respect. Marriage
by contract. If extensively practiced.
seems bound to bring results not at all
desirable, There is nothing in the mere
signing of an agreement to comport
with the seriousness of marriage. 1t
makes bigamy. miscegenation and the
marriage Of those who are under the
legal age easy. Instead of tending to
lessen the number of divorces the con
tract system undoubtedly has the eff
rect or increasing matrimonial ship
wrecks, 1t removes checks to injudi-
ciouS WcdlOck.

Mo Pointers There.

There are no printers in the Ohio
penitentiary. While the printers
were in the pen'tentiary they issued
a publication, but suddenly it was 6is-
continued and upon inquiry it was
found there was not a printer
left in imprisonment, It is said that
there are enough bankers there to
start a clearing house, enough preach
ers to form a ministerial association,
and brokers to operate a stock ex-
change. The moral is obvious, even
if one does have to improve on Mark
Twain to point it out. Mark said:
"Be good and you'll be lonesome"
He should have said; "Be good and
you'll be printers" But really this
is well for the craft, and we note it
with pleasure. AS a class printers
are the most intelligent class Of work
men we have, and We are glad to
know that when it comes to being
good ,that they are in class to them
selves.

,Jetallizinp Wood In France.

An interesting method Of applying
a presarvative to railway sleepers
ard timber Is described In L'1ndus-
trie Electrique Of Paris. The process
consists Of the artificial metalliza-
ton OF the pores Of the wood. the
metal being deposited electrically.
In brief, the method requires, first
the application OF solution Of some
salt-sulphate Of copper, for exam.
ple-by placing the wood immersed
in the solution In closed chamber
and subjecting It to pressure. The
wood Is thus thoroughly imDregnated
with the solution. 1t Is then taken
out, and piled up in layers in a con-
crete reservoir. The first layer OF
timber Is immersed In the same cop
per sulphate solution, and also rests
on a layer Of jute or other fbrous
material, which is supported by an
electrode made Of woven strands OF
copper. Similar electrodes are placed
between each layer Of timber as they
are piled up to the desired height.
Alternate electrodes are then con-
nected to the opposite poles OF an
alternating current supply, and the
current is allowed to pass. The ac-
ton Is said to decompose the solu-
ton and set free metallic copper in
the pores Of the wood. Besides the
rreservative action in thus closing
the pores, it is said that a certain
amount Of copper srlphate is perma-
nenetly retained In the pores, giving
an additional aud decided pre-
serEariYa effect

Ranoie Compared With Cotton.

Ramie, a species Of gigantic net.
tle which produces, directly beneath
its outer bark, a fiber that can be
woven alone or in conjunction with
either wool or cotton, and gives to
the cloth into which it Is woven a
beautiful silky finish, is being pro-
duced in China at the present time
to an extent that promises to make
It an important element in the
worlds commerce. Unlike cotton, 1t
is not an annual crop: once planted
It will produce for dozen years. 1t
does not rIpen evenly, and as soon as
one crop Is pulled tthe plant goes on
producing again; occasionally, in
tropical countries-and it is only in
q very warm climate that It can be
grown-ona plant will give four
crops in a year. A good stand OF
plants will, run from TWO to three
tons Of fiber per acre.

The Skipper Ashore.

Good men to have in charge OF
any sort Of work that involves the
handling of men, and especially good
for such work that Is also more or
less outdoors, as for instance the su-
perintendence Of piers and the care
Of or, work on any sort Of boats. and
work in and about warehouses, and
that sort Of thing" said steamship
man, "are retired captains and mates
Of vessels.
They have to be good and able
men to get up to places such as they
have held on the sea, and the quail
ties that have made them successful
afoat are equally valuable in any
work they may be called upon to do,
and especially in such work as l
have indicated ashore.
They are accustomed to COM
mand, for one thing: they can make
men work and keep them going;
they can get things done. They are
likely to be able to pick out the right
sort Of men for bosses, It they have
control Of many men, and they, know
how to handle things and how to
stow things to the best advantage.
''They are all the time watchful
and alert, as they have all their lives
been accustomed to be at sea, Of ne
cessity. Instinctively or by observa-
ton they know the weather In ad-
vance and always take due precau-
tions regarding it; they never get
caught mapping.
Accustomed to taking no chance.
but TO having mea on watch night
and day at sea, they set watches just
the same on land, and fire, that spe-
cial terror to men on ship, they
guard against and look out for here
with the same care that they would

"You see, the man in command Of
a vessel lives IN a world OF his own,
where everything depends on him.
and where he must look out for
everything, and SO he develops con-
slant watchfulness and resourcsful-
ness in emergency and readiness In
action; he must be in the nature OF
things an able man, and that's why
the sea captain or mate, retired per-
haps for some disability that may
impair his usefulness at sea, may
make in the right place an especially
good man ashore. %

Trv,ns It ON FORAKER.

1t is admitted at the White House
that the President has under consid-
Grafton the appointment of a negro OF
Columbus, O, as surveyor OF customs
at Cincinnati, which would go to con-
firm the report recently set afoat to
the effect that Mr.. Roosevelt would
give the professed lovers of the negro
in the North occasion to rejoice at
the preferment OF some Of their color
ed neighbors, which had long been
lacking, and that especially would he
present the opportunity to his good
friend, Senator Foraker, who has made
such a fuss about the Presidents dis
charge of the colored troopers who
shot up the town OF Brownsville, Tex.
We agree with the Charleston Post
that this sis much better than attack
ing Senator Foraker with hot words
at a banquet and creating sensation
which spoiled all the fun OF the feast
In fact it is a very good play. For,
aker is bidding for the negro vote IN
Ohio by his demands that the colored
brother be held immune from crime
in the South and be given good fat Of
fcea in this section. Of the country.
It has been asked many time why
the Republican President did not give
the regro good appointments in the
States where his vote is accounted an
important factor, instead Of paying
him for bis support in Ohio and 1ndl.
ana with Offices in South Carolina and
Georgia. President Roosevelt is about
to try the system of direct payment
and it will be interesting to see just
how it:works out. Senator Foraker
should find much satisfaction In NOV
| ing in the Senate for an immediate con-
frmation of his colored constituent OF
Columbus, who is to be translated to
official dignity in Cincinnati. Except
that be may be disturbed somewhat
by the thought that Mr. Roosevelt
is poaching upon his political pre-,
serves"

Treat ALI Alike.

The United States Senate has ac-
cepted the proposition Of the House OF
representatives to increase the salar'
les Of senators, members Of the house
and territorial delegates to 1900 an,
nually and the Vice-president, the
speakers Of the house and the mem
bers Of the presidents cabinet to sl2,'
600. "Now," says the GreenVllle
Mountaineer, If such an increase was
needed high up the line, the time has
come when those lower down should
be treated likewise. The railroad mail
agents and the rural mail carriers are
asking for additional pay, and they
deserve it. The men who risk their
lives at the various life saving Sta
tions on our coast and on the great
lakes are not paid sufficient salaries
The clerks in the several departments
OF the government in Washington are
clamoring for increased pay. The boys
who man our ships in the navy are
asking for more pay and it is stated
that the main reason why the young
men of our country are So reluctant in
enlisting is the small pay allowed
them. The case of this is that the
cost of living has increased and wages
have stood still and have not advan.
ced with the prices of living. Rents
have advanced along with everything
else and the condition Of a poor clerk
on small salary is deplorable." The
pay of the rural mail carriers should
be increased.
