Marriage In Italy.

Why does the slgnorlna marry!
In seeking the answer to this ques-
tion, says the Italian sociologist,
Ferriani, I chose very young women
for my experiments, directing my
questions to ninety-fve between the
ages of fifteen and seventeen years,
scattered all over Italy, with the fol-
lowing results: Five answered that
they married in order to 60 out
walking alone, ten in order to have
good time, in contrast with the aus
terity of their life up to that time;
five in order to travel, seven in or
der to have homes of their own and.
sixty-one for no reasons at all in
particular. Three really didn't
want to marry anyhow, while only
four dwelt upon the joys of home
and housekeeping. Only four had
been educated properly in the school
of the household. To the majority
marriage seems to mean only free
dom from the convent-like seclusion
of the young girl, the getting out
into the great world and seeing
something of life.

THE PATIENT OYSTER.
It's Beard the Tool Nth Which u
Builds Its She'll Home.

There seems to be very little
chance for poetry to linger around
the luscious .bivalve, yet Keats WV
idly conjures up the pale silence of
the ocean depths with his reference
to the poor, patient oyster where
it sleeps" Patient indeed and i'm
movable in its ocean bed, yet not
always sleeping.
The body of an oyster is a poor,
weak thing, apparently incapable Of
doing anything at all. Yet what a
marvellous house an oyster builds
around his delicate frame!
For some unknown reason he al
ways fixes himself on his round
shell, never by his fiat shell, and be-
ing once fixed he begins to grow.
But he only grows in summer.
Inspect an oyster shell closely,
and it will be seen that it is mark
ed with distinct lines. As the rings
we observe in the section Of the
trunk of a tree denote years Of
growth, so do the markings on an
oyster tell us how many years he
has passed in his "bed" at the bot
tom of the sea. The way in which
an oyster grows his shell is a pref
ty sight.
The beard of an oyster is not
only his breathing organ. e., his
lungs-but also his feeding organ,
by which he conveys the food to his
complicated mouth with its four
lips.
When the warm, calm days Of
June come the oyster opens his shell
and by means of his beard begins
building an additional story to his
house. This he does by depositing
very, very fine particles of carbonate
of lime till at last they form a sub
stance as thin as silver paper and
exceedingly fragile. Then ne ADDS
more and more until at last the new
shell is as hard as the old shell.
When oysters are growing their
shells they must be handled very
carefully, as the new growth of shell
will cut like broken glass, and a
wound on the finger from an oys-
ter shell is often very dangerous

OUR BIG UNIVERSITIES.

Figures which show the surprising growth OF
the American universities with the influence they
incidentally WELD given by the Chicago Inter
Ocean which points with no little local pride to the
figures to the size of the student bodies of some
great universities. In the annual report of the
president of the Northwestern University, Chi
cago, the student population of the six leading
universities, as they rank numerically is given as
follows: Harvard, 5343 Chicago, 500; Michi-
gan, 400; Illinois, 43oo; Minnesota, 4o25; North
western, 1868.
A significant fact is that not only the total
attendance, but the proportion of men attending
Northwestern University has increased since in
tercollegiate football was barred.
OF the six leading universities in respect to
student population, five in the West, and
three of the five in Illinois. Out of 27 900 per-
sons pursuing higher studies in the six most popu-
lar educational institutions in the land, $4,000 are
in schools between Lake Erie and the Mississippi.
Nearly half, or 1900 are found in Illinois and
nearly oooo in Chicago.
Harvard maintains her supremacy in more
senses than one, and Massachusetts, with her
wealth of institutions for the higher education of
women still fairly leads the procession of the states
in the field of education, though the universities of
the West are coming to the front with giant
strides

THE UNWRITTEN LAW.

If the court precedent followed so faithfully
in the maodorous Thaw case, and now success
fully invoked In the Loving case, is to become the
established rule in the land, no mans life will be
safe from another man, murderously inclined, who
may be able to substantiate his claim that he heard
from some female relative story that reused him
to fury, believed it and acted without investiga-
tion.
The sanctity of the home must and will be pre-
served by all honorable men and by all honorable
means within human power; but human life also is
sacred. No mans life should be taken on the mere
unsupported word of another person, without in
vestigaton by the avenger or opportunity for de-
Tense There are crimes which almost put those
who commit them beyond the pale OF legal protec-
ton, but the crimes should be established beyond
reasonable doubt if homicide is to be invoked.
The slain victim of mistake, of misinforma-
ton, of blind unreasoning impulse is just as dead
as if there had been abundant justification for kill
ing. Even the "unwritten law should not be with
out its "due process" when it is invoked to deprive
a man of his life.

A Tax on Billboards

In the vigorous campaign against the

Civic association and ably assisted by the
daily press throughout the country. credit
for the most substantial actual results
thus far must be given to California. Los
Angeles has passed an ordinance impos-
ing tax of one cent square foot, anu
a court decision from Santa Clara county,
to the effect that a billboard may be de-
clared a nuisance Is a distinct advance
over any ruling thus far secured from
the courts. Billboards have hitherto been
successful in sheltering themselves behind
the specious plea that nuisance is NOT
a nuisance when II affects only the eye
and courts have held that objections TO
billboards were "esthetic" objections and
not subject to legislative action. The de-
cision referred to is the first strong evil
dence that this feeling Is passing out OF
the legal mind and foreshadows the time
when an offense TO the eye Will be re-
garded as much a nuisance as an onense
to the nose. 1t Is the first recognition OF
the right to prohibit billboards under the
police power. and should have the care
