Make Marriage Engagements Public.
About the only practicable improve
ment In marriage is that suggested by
Kansas legislator, who is going to
introduce a bill compelling the publ
cation of marriage engagements for
80 days preceding the ceremony. This.
of course, is already the custom in
some circles of society, where mar
riage engagements are invariably
made public. Among the Jews en-
gagements are regarded as only one
degree less sacred than marriage It.
self. In Europe the laws of most
countries compel the publication OF
banns of marriage. so that the whole
community is made aware that matri-
mony is contemplated and any i'm.
pediment to the match may be dis
covered. But among a large majority
of people in the United States no
such provision is made. Hasty mar
riages are frequent, and even when
engagements are of some length they
are not always acknowledged. This,
of course. makes deception easy, and
even crime. A man may marry 40
wives, as Hoch did, says the Chicago
Journal, and unless some unusual cir
cumstance arises he may escape de-
lection. A law compelling the publ
cation OF marriage engagements
would undoubtedly lessen the evils
attending matrimony In this country.
If for 30 days before the knot is tied
the news were circulated and dis
cussed by everybody interested. many
bad marriage would be prevented
and much suffering would be avoided.
Marriage is a very important event
In human life, and the state should
take every means to make 1t safe.

California Architecture.

One glance at the long low corridor
Of Santa Barbara Mission, of Sar
Juan Capistrano; another at the solid
adobe walls of such house as the
old Morris residence in Los Angeles
and you know where the modern
American California found the models
upon which she has based many of
her most beautiful buildings. says

fathers from Spain had not built their
missions on that coast; IL their fol-
lowers had not built their adobe
houses surrounding the missions. the
Californian of to-day would have a
different style of architecture.

Appearances are deceitful at times
In regard to a person who is sup.
posed to be dead We have had sew
eral instances of the sort of late. A
woman who took poison woke up and
told the undertaken not to be SO
rough. A man supposed to be dying
in New York hospital jumped out OF
bed and whipped another man. A
woman in that city, after her husband
had shot her, made her husband think
that she was dead so that he wouldn't
shoot her again.

beneath the frost-curled foliage we see the clusters of dark blue berries.
 The lingering leaves are as beauti- full as the glossy fruit, and show all gradations in color from deep cad- mium to It's palest tints, with here and there a more sienna or yellow ocher tinge. The ginseng, member of the same family and of somewhat similar habit of growth, has berries of bril- liant red, and so this family, as we'll continues the scarlet theme that runs through so many of the autumn fruits.
 How intimately these late growths particularly the flowers, reflect the spirit of the season. The spring flowers so perfectly suggest their sea- son that a stranger without knowl- edge of the time which gave them birth, would still, by the appearance of the blossoms, associate them with the spring months. The prevailing color being white with pink and pur- pie fiushes, or faint and delicate blue is certainly suggestive of the dawn
  and of the opening year, while the autumn tints and shades are sugges- tive of the after time, of the sunset and afterglow. The rich red cardinal flower which comes in late summer is deepest in hue of all our wild flowers, and these later ones we have been considering are just as suggestive. The golden-rod's prevailing orange is sure- fly reflection of our autumn sunsets, and the blue asters deepening to pur- pie answer to the bars of rain-c cloud that accompany them. In the gen. tians this color deepens until in the closed gentian 1t Is so full and signifi- cant as to symbolize the darkening twilight of the year, the storm blue of the approaching night-clouds; while the yellow, fllmy stars of the witch hazel, which come still later, to close the floral season, are the faint lines of light, the last yellow gleams that break low down on the horizon before night and winter wholly close down.
