Among the cherished memories of ,
certain charming old lady Is that of {
teacher OF her childhood, whose theory
OF life was reduced to simple princi
pie: Learn to read well, young la
dles-to enunciate distinctly, to modu
late the voice pleasingly, to interpret
the words Of the author with sympa
thy and understanding learn to read
well, and all other virtues will follow
1t Is possible that the requirement OF
all the virtues seems a slightly more
complicated matter than 1t did to the
old gentleman of seventy years ago.
Nevertheless, the advice Is not to be
laughed away, If only because it recalls
the days when reading aloud was count
ed one OF the most desirable Of the fine
arts OF life. This Is no reflection upon
the art of reading as taught in these
latter days; the question Is not of the
actual process, but Of the place that
reading aloud used to hold In family
life. Many gray-halred man or WON
an who never heard of round tables"
and never discovered that authors had
early or late styles, yet knows his Scott
or Thackeray or Shakespeare as few
young people of to-day ever know them.
In part, this Is due to the fact that the
held of reading now covered by young
people Is much larger than it was half
a century ago. A deeper cause lies in
the decline Of the habit Of reading
aloud. We have no time now to read
aloud, we say. Perhaps not; yet be-
fore we decide, might it not be well to
consider whether any other recreation
OFFERS more permanent pleasure or
greater enrichment to the life. Books
read aloud winter evenings about the
hre with the whole family sharing the
interest and the discussions, will hold
warmth of color which time will not
dim. Between their pages will lie
countless happy memories-a treasure
whose value will deepen through all the
years to come.

The Cars whole bureaucracy has for

In recent years, as all readers of the
papers know. it has become too com
mon among a certain class Of people
to have the marriage ceremony per-
formed under strange and unusual con-
nitions' as on platforms at county
fairs, On the top Of smokestack, etc.
The cheap notoriety that attaches to
this sort Of marriage destroys the sane
dty that should pertain to the cere-
mony and gives the unthinking occa-
sion to regard 1t as a joke rather than
serious transaction There is alto
Bether too much trifing with the mar
riage tie already without turning the
ceremony into a monkey show.
