THE TOR

THE choosing of a wife Is one Of
the most important steps of life.
1t Is a matter which must not be
considered hastily. Sentiment must
not be allowed to run away with judg.
ment or expediency cover up the OBJ
legation which one owes to God and
Gods law. Where love is based on
something deeper than mere physi-
cal beauty, and on something higher
than mere human attainment: In
other words, where love includes in
It's inspiration and its expression the
thought Of loyalty and devotion to
God, then and then only is love a safe
guide. Sentiment and passion are not
love, and e~xpediency and convenience
are sign posts which point to the
matrimonial whirlpool OF disappoint.
ment and ruin. Man was Intended
for woman and woman for man, but
God intended that they should ba
mated and not mismated. What God
joins together Is eve put asunder.
IL was no secret in Israel that a wife
was being sought for the young and
handsome King Solomon. Since his
coming to the throne 1t had been
recognized as one of the important
matters requiring solution. With the
chief men of the nation and those
close to the king in the administra-
ton Of the affairs OF the nation It
was a question az TO where they
should look for a consort for their
king.
More than N OF the chief men OF
the nation secretly wished that his
W fair daughter might be the one
selected to be queen, but each with
becoming modesty. r~efrained from
openly advancing the claims of their
respective daughters, so that appar'
emily no progress was made in the
quest for a wife for Solomon.
And perhaps the N least con
cerned over the matter was Solomon
himself. His had been a busy life

Cosmos. Says this paper:
'On board a cruiser recently under

came necessary to make a hole in the
shutter Of a turret. The mechanical
processes commonly employed for

The Prjevalsky Horse.

valid and distinct species Of the genus
horse, without relationship to the ass,
though it has some features that re-
mind one of the Asiatic ass: but even
in these features, as the tail, for ex.
ample, the resemblance is closer to
the horse than TO the ass.
The results Of the investigation
were prepared for publication by Dr..
w. S~alensky, director of the Zoolog.
ical museum of the Imperial Academy
Of Sciences, st. Petersburg. The book
has just been translated into English
and published in London under the
title "Prjevalsky's Horse"
1t contains a number of pictures of
the captives, one of which is repro
duced here. The frontispiece shows
a three-year-old stallion and a two
year-old mare which are the prop.
erty of the czar.
The animals were mere colts when
they arrived in Europe and were not
prepossessing, for they did not take
kindly to the novel conditions, were
out Of condition and had ragged coats
and awkward gaits. They have now
reached maturity, have been we'll

mails.
Many naturalists have held the
opinion that the domestic horse Of
to-day was mainly derived from three
wild species. which have been named
the steppe, forest and plateau varie.
cites. The Prjevalsky horse is a rep
re~sentative of the steppe variety.
The Mongolians have made many
attempts to tame the wild horse, but
In vain.
All efforts to tame the animals that
have been brought to Europe have
also failed.
Thus far the horse will not submit
to man, is afraid OF him, and can,
o be rendered ~serviceable. Though
now accustomed to the sight Of hu,
mar beings, the %captives are very
badly frightened II a person ap,
proaches nearer than within two or
three rods OF them.
Still some facts are known which
in.icate that there is hope that those
horses may eventually be tanned. The
explorer Koslov about 40 years age
saw a colt OF six months belonging to
a chief in the Cobb that had been SC
far tanned as to walk peaceably in q
bride. 1t would permit itself to be

son of the chief to sit on its back
1t is ractically impossible to cap
ture adult animals on their native
plains. The Russians followed the
comparatively simple Mongolian meth
cd OF getting possession of some o.
the horses.
From time to time they could SCI
from afar that young colts had beer
added to the herd within a day or two
They %thereupon pursued the herd o
horses until the colts became so ex
hausted that they could travel NJ
further and then 1t was easy to cap
ture them.

Sunshine and Lemonade.

The hygienic qualities OF lemonade
have long been popularity celebrated,
and recent scientific research shows
that this pleasing summer drink de,

that in a lemonade containing six
grams per liter Of citric acid the
bacillus of cholera is killed In half an
hour, and that of typhoid in "a hours.
But when the same lemonade is per.
meated with sunshine, the cholera
bacillus perishes in five minutes and
the typhoid bacillus in two hours.

fury. 1t was the announcement of a book by a woman who has, appar-
emily, never thought, or dreamt, of anything beyond the sexual relations
OF man and woman. Another book came upon my table-possibly my
ul-luck-but it was another womans book that followed the account Of a
girl who visited country houses, and-wen, it was all dress and indecorum.
But this book was simply the story of a three weeks orgy of sensualsm.
And as turn over the other books that arrive, those Of them with a
womans name on the title page, | find that they are all concerned with
this side Of life. 1t is the side of life, you will remember, that such men
As Scott. Dickens, Thackeray, scarcely touched, and Stevenson-shall I
continue they could write stories that gripped the world without the
lure of lust. But "the woman intervenes" And the woman novelist,
such a am thinking of, reminds me of the nudge Of a schoolfenow

All about love! Love that is Legitimate, illegal, ilusory. The love that
fingers, the love that loves and runs away, but always loves. And whether
is love that is illegal or ilusory, the woman is always writing about il,
and turning her thoughts to that one point which she has regarded as the
central idea of the universe. When she begins to write she thinks Of
nothing else but of the central fact-the marrying and giving in marriage,
with all the byways and pitfalls that lead to or evade that excellent
result, But she is thinking Of it all the time. Her novels prove it, for
deal only with this love, and her incurion into fiction has meant that
the story of the animal side of the human being has become popular. In
fiction she has succeeded in degrading literature to the level that is &C.
casionaly reached in the smoking-room-as a joke.

of even better worth has been select

of even better worth has been select ed for the concert this week. Owing to the lack of out of door concerts during the summer, there are many in the city who miss such music, but who can now hear 1t each Satur- day evening at the Buckingham. This beautiful hall was built espe- cially for concerts and other enter tainments, and the work of the band shows up to much better advantage on the concert stage that 1t does in open air concerts. The concert pro- gramme will always be made up of light classics and novelty numbers which are bound to please all lovers of good music. These concerts will somewhat resemble those ordained in New York city, by Victor Herbert who has added much to his popular ity as composer and conductor by a series of sesni-classical concerts given weekly at Broadway show house. The dance last Saturday evening proved conclusively that a public dance in Waterbury can be conducted most properly and appeal to the public which desires to patro- nize such affairs. The crowd which gathered at the Buckingham was made up of lovers of good music good order and good dancing. Never has a more orderly crowd been col fected in the Buckingham and sell dom has there been a larger one. The dancing floor was crowded while the galleries were filled throughout the evening with those who came to listen to the excellent music and watch the dancers. An excellent concert programme has been ar ranged for Saturday evening which will be rendered from to g o'clock The standard of these concerts and socials has been established and the band intends to keep frat the same level or make it even higher and more desirable to appeal to the music and dance loving people of the city. The same door corps will be in charge of the same efficient floor managers whose good work added so much to the success of the last dance. As on the first night every fifth lady applying at the box office will be presented with compliment ary ticket.
