Marian Life.

Whatever it's actual age, any life
now existent on Mars must be in the
land stage of it's development, on the
whole much higher one than the
marine, writes Percival Lowell in the
Century. But, more than this, it
should probably have gone much fur
Their if it exist at all, for in it's evolv-
ing of terra firma, Mars has far out
stripped the earth. Mars surface is
now all land. Its forms of life must
be not only terrestrial as against
aquatic, but even as opposed to terra
queous ones. They must have reached
not simply the stage of land dwelling
where the possibilities are greater for
those able to embrace them, but that
further point of pinching poverty
where brain is needed to survive at
all. The struggle for existence in
their planets decrepitude and decay
would tend to evolve intelligence to
cope with circumstances growing mo-
mentarily more and more adverse.
But, furthermore, the solidarity that
the conditions prescribed would con-
duce to a breadth of understanding
sufficient to utilize it. Inter-communi-
cation over the whole globe is made
not only possible, but obligatory.
This would lead to the easier spread
ing over it Of some dominant creature
especially were this being of an adj
vanced order of unbelievable to rise
above it's bodily limitations to ameli-
Grafton of the conditions through eX-
ercise of mind. What absence Of
seas would thus entail, absence Of
mountains would further. These two
obstacles to distribution removed, life
there would tend the quicker to reach
highly organized stage. Thus Mar
tian conditions themselves make for
intelligence.

Twelve thousand pounds left 10
charities by peddler's will, found in
an old silk hat, was the subject of a
resumed case in the probate division
OF a London court few days ago. An
old silk hat ESQ the story runs) was
lent by the testator, Polish peddler,
to William Thomas Wall, hairdres.
ser of Cambridge, that he might at
tend a funeral, and he returned the
hat directly afterwards. Subsequent
ly the peddler brought the hat to Mr..
Wall, saying, You may as well take
charge of it." After the peddler's
death his Will was found in the hats
silk lining. The president of the court,
in giving his decision, said the story
of the finding might seem a very re-
markable one, but in the probate
registry at Somerset House there
were just as singular curiosities in
wills. He came to the conclusion that
the will was established, and granted
probate of it, the costs to come out Of
the estate.

A MODERN young man does not

"A MODERN young man does not
think much of marrying says an
exchange. The o1d-fashioned
young man married before he did
anything else, but the new style
fellow does not seem to be smitten
on marrying, and puts it off until
he becomes too smart to marry,
and then spends his life as a mis-
cradle old bachelor. There are
dozens of girls in every community
so amiable, worthy, and pretty
that it is a wonder they are not
surrounded with young men with
matrimonial intentions, but it is
said that they are compelled to ask
their brothers to escort them when
they want to go anywhere. The
modern girl who has no brother, is
Ill very uncomfortable situation.
There was time when young men
courted the girl but they do not
seem to be doing much of it now.
1t the new notion continues, it will
be necessary to give up parties, be-
cause the young man will not attend.
They are joining clubs, and these
clubs are very often very decent
affairs. No liquor is allowed, as a
rule, but the young men spend
their time here in preference t O the
atmosphere of a home. 1t seems
that the women will be compelled
to do without the men. The men
have been abused so much for not
approaching the home" that
they are becoming surly.

pears that during the fall and winter
not less than $50 lives were lost off
the coast of New England and British

The Pathos of Fate.

The imperial glory that once was
Spain's long since passed from her,
and it is reported that pathetic and
tragic admission of the fact is to be
made in Madrid by dismantling the
Pantheon of the Spanish colonies and
dispersion of it's valuable collections
among the libraries and museums Of
the city, says the Boston Herald. The
site is needed for other purposes; the
fact political which the building SYM
bolized no longer exists; and the
sooner present and future genera
tions are rid of reminder of past
national waste and maladministra-
ton, the better. Thus the argument
runs. Greece, Rome, Carthage, Spain
and Holland, each have had their day
of empire on the sea. Will London
ever witness such a scene as Madrid
is to see? And Berlin after London?

No piece of American political furni-

of the republic than the undesirable
three-legged stool which the vice
presidential chair has become. The
founders put it in the best room, Sec
ond only to the presidents seat. Now
it is out in the back yard of political
favor. Yet it is an important Office;
the presidency of the senate is place
of power. Four vice-presidents have
risen to the highest office through
the death of the president. Three
others-Adams, Jefferson, Van Buren,
were vice-president before they
were president In the case of the
early vice-presidents, election to the
second place meant that they had been
candidates for the first place. And
what that really means ought to pre-
vail now; that is, no man should be
elected vice-president who is not re-
garded as good enough to be presi-
dent.
