The Now French Marriage Law.

There passed the other day ON to the
French statute book law which will
probably have Important results in the
history of many French lives. Ii Is
law by which any man or woman over
the age of thirty may marry without
first obtaining the permission Of father
or mother and without needing even to
go through the form Of notifying the
family of the event. Hitherto no
Frenchman, of whatever age. could
marry without his parents consent,
though after the age Of twenty five he
could bring the matter into court and
get a judgment upon 1t. But the pub
lcity of this proceeding has often been
sufficient to act as q deterrent. Many
Parisians remember distinguished
Frenchman, lately deceased, whose
mother refused her sanction to his mar
riage with II foreigner, with the result
that he and his tiancee patiently waited
till after his mothers death. On the
wedding day the bridegroom was sew
enty years of age and his bride consid-
erably over fifty.

About seventy years ago millions of
tons of earth, powders and gravel slid
from the side of Mount Katahdin to
Sourdnahunk stream, distance Of sew
en- miles, and damned the stream,
forming what is known to West Branch
lumbermen as Slide dam. A repair
crew of the Great Northern Paper COM
pany recently had occasion to remove
quantity of gravel from this deposit.
At a depth of ten feet they found the
trunk Of spruce tree bent like a bow,
the top held down by bowlder weigh
ing many tons. The trunk was sound,
but the bark and foliage had been re-
moved by the scraping the tree recelv-
ed when the slide occurred. Another
large tree with foliage intact was
found in the pit. The foliage of this
tree when first removed from the earth
looked fresh and green. as if 1t had just
been removed from growing tree, but
faded in a few hours.-Kennebec Jour-

Tn. Irish Potato.

Many great and good things have
had their starting point in Ireland,
but the Irish potato is not one of
them. So far as we know to the
contrary, the potato originated in
Chile and Peru and was taken to
Europe from Santa Fe. in America,
bv Sir John Hawkins about the year
1865. The first potatoes in Ireland
were those raised on the estates OF
Sir Walter Raleigh, who introduced
the culture shortly before his death
in 1918.

There is need of a "nationaP'
edition of the patriotic songs of
this nation, and it is proposed
that the Grand Army of the Re
public join hands with the Ma
tional Educational Association
and secure the publication of
such work. At present our ma
tiOnal songs, such for instance,
as THE Star Spangled Banner"
are issued in various forms, both
as to words and music, in accor-
dance with the theory or whim
of each publisher, and the diff
culties of training large choruses
to sing these songs, with which
every American citizen should
be familiar, is seriously enhanc-
ed. No more fitting organization
could undertake this patriotic
work than the Grand Army of
the Republic, and it is to be hoped
that the suggestion will be seized
upon with avidity.

making apertures of the four corners
at the intersection. In one of these
robins built a nest some time ago. This
fell under the eye of caretakeE who
got a pole and dislodged the nest. The
birds flew about dSconsolately for a
time, then went away. So far as any
