or ideal or aspiration in common be-
tween them. Inevitably they quarrel,
inevitably they come to hate each 9TH
er. Inevitably the bonds between them
come to be the letters of prisoners.
And only too often the disillusiOned,
heart-hungry woman meets up with
man that is her real mate, and then
there is divorce and affinity scandal.
Better to Wait.
The late marriage has so much bet
ter chance Of being a success than the
early marriage that 1T would be worth
while sending girls to college Just to
put them in a place where they wOUif
be safeguarded until they reached the
age of discretion. if the college gave
them nothing else save protection
Also the college girl, being older
and wiser when she marries than the
ordinary girl, goes about making a
happy home more definitely. If she
gets nothing else from the history she
has studied she has acquired a few
so she does not trust to luck, but to
skill, in looking after her own hus-
band and keeping him fascinated.
Not all OF the credit for making the
college wedding grand sweet song
belongs TO the woman A lot Of it
goes to the husband of the college
girl Undoubtedly she gets a very su-
periOr brand, for II takes one of the
finest to qualify for the job.
The ordinary, average man would no
more think Of proposing to college
girl than he would put his head in a
lions mouth His vanity wouldn't
suffer him to- Nothing on earth could
induce him to marry a woman who
knew as much as he did, or perhaps
more, and who would be able to size
him up for what he was. He would
know that he couldn't swell around
her, and puff out his chest and pre-
tend to be sir Oracle He couldn't
patrOnize her, and pooh pooh her opin-
ions. He would have to listen to
them with respect, and treat her as an
equal.
Therefore he marries little Fluffy
Ruffles who sits at his feet before
they are married. aTs1 hurls flattery at
him with shovel and tells him how
great and wise, and big, and strong he
IS, and after they are married Quarrels
with him until she packs her trunk
for Reno.
The man who deliberately picks out
a college woman for a wife is not a
conceited fool who marries to get
woman to minister to his egotism.
Neither does he expect his wife to be
a slave or a plaything. He marries to
get companion. He treats his wife
as an equal He is broadminded. and
tolerant, and liberal, and perhaps any
kind Of woman could live peaceably
with the sort of a husband that the
college woman gets
At any rate the showing of the wo-
mems colleges in the matter of divorce
IS an unansWerable argument in favor
OF the higher education Of women. It
makes the college girl the preferred
risk in matrimony

The Genius of Invention
q GARRETT 2. sERVISS

THE partial unveiling of the uyS-
terry of the atoms showed that
man was coming into close
touch with forces capable Of transform
ing life upon this planet. Every leader
Of science has recognized this fact and
has bent his energies 10 pushing Eor-
ward the advance. Let man once get
the key to unlock the iuimitable forces
Enclosed in the atoms Of matter which
surround US on all sides and he viii
achieve a command over nature such
as the widest dreams could not have
represented TO his prophetic soul
The energy locked up in single
gram of matter is equivalent to that
furnished by the combustion Of more
than 100000 tons of coaI"'
That is the astonishing and universal
testimony Of science at the present
moment.
A few plain sentences will clear the
situation. We utilize the energy OF
coal and other fuels by fastening their
combustion. II is that fastening which
creates mechanical power. Force is
what moves matter; work is measured
by force multiplied by space, or the
distance over which the force acts;
power is work divided by time. The
less the time the greater the QuOtient
coal, by which their energy is released,
goes on with extreme slOWnesS in ma
ture and yields no useful power; but
when we cut the time down to a small
fraction by burning them the power
becomes very great
Now, all matter is radioactive or
can be made so, and radio-activity. like
combustion, is a process by which en-
ergy is released. But natural radio
activity is an extremely slow process.
A bit of radium, containing hundreds
of millions Of times more energy than
a ton Of coal requires 1850 years TO
develop half its hidden force. The
power is therefore negligible. But
hasten that process, as we hasten the
consumption OF coal, and the power
thus placed at our command would
be without limit. Make radiO-action DO.
its work quickly, and energy without
bounds viii spring forth like a genie to
do our will.
The great chemists have almost got
their fingers upon the spring. but yet
IL escapes their touch. There is dan
ger that the wave Of progress may
lose its force before the critical dis
covery is made, and then the world

7HE women's colleges are calling
attention to the fact that the
higher education Of girls ap-
pears to be a specific for domestic
misery. The records Of Vassar col
lege show that not a single graduate
of that institution has ever figured
in the divorce courts, while the other
WOmen's colleges make almost ds good
q showing, the number OF divorces
among their alumnae being almost
negligible
This should settle the ancient fall
lacy that TO give q girl a good edu-
cation untitled her to be a wife, for
these statistics certainly indicate that
II the college girl does not marry as
frequently as her sisters, she stays
married more often.
Many explanations may be offered
Tor this phenomena. The most OBJ
vious, Of course, is that the trained
reasoning power Of the college woman
is better fitted TO solve the domestic
problem than the undiscipHned mind
InaJ therefore she can more success
fully guard against the conditions arts
ing that lead TO divorce.
A Learned Profession.
In reality making a home IS a
learned profession No woman can
bring TO this great task too broad and
profound knowledge, because II in
cludes every other art and science on
knows of chemistry in cooking, all
that she can acquire Of higher math-
ematics in trying TO check the multi
plicauon of butcher and grocery bills,
all that she knows Of languages to
make herself Ineligible to the Hildas
and Steenas and Francescas and Do
lOres that pass through her kitchen.
She viii need all OF her knowledge Of
hygiene and germ theories in steriliz-
ing her baby's bottles; she will need
all OF her law to settle the disputes be
tween her children; she will need all
Of her philosophy to keep a serene
cOuntenance on those days when the
maid leaves with the clothes in the
Washtub and the stove won't bake and
the grocer doesn't show up and uneX-
pected company comes TO dinner; and
she viii need all Of the self-contrOI
that q thousand colleges could teach
her to hold her peace in those situa-
tiOns when single word viii precipi-
tate a family row
It is not only conceivable, but inev-
table that q woman who has been
taught 10 think and reason. will be
the captain Of her soul under cOndi-
tons that would send another woman
Into Mysteries. Also college life gives
girls the education Of association with
other people, which is just as Valu-
able as anything to be learned from
books 1t teaches women TO be com
radely-a virtue which women seldom
possess
Another reason why the college wo-
man is less apt to make the sort Of
marriage that ends in divorce than
her stay-at-home sister is because she
marries so much later in life. The
college woman practically never mar
ries under %, and by that time her
character is formed, her taste settled,
and she knows what she wants and
requires in a husband
A girl Of IS or 20 will marry a man
because he dances the twostep well:
because he has a black mustache, or
looks like a clothing advertisement
picture Then when she comes to her
self, when she is a woman grown, she
finds that she has made a colossal
mistake, that there is not one thought

DISFIGURING ECZEMA

Nose Covered with Them. Very

Ny nephew first showed signs Of eczema
On the middle finger, and it came out ike
q blister. His mother thought he had gotten
Z burn IN some way unknown TO her. and she
treated it as such. He must have rubbed his
face with that hand, as it then broke out on
his nose the same way. When the blisters
broke, they shriveIled up and formed scabs.
dis nose was covered with scabs, and It was
very itchy. He was badly disfgured with un-
slightly scabs At first, his nose was sore,
and = gradually became worse so his mother
took him to the doctor. He gave her some
preparation, and told her 10 rub the scabs
OF every day, and anoilt the affected part
with the medicine he gave her.
The man must have been insane, as thar
was extreme torture TO the child who was
only two years old at the time, and that
was two years ago. Well, we decided that
that treatment would have TO end. I sug-
gested Cuticura Ointment and they bought
il and put it on freely every day for two
weeks. He had the eczema for four weeks
altogether, but was getting gradually worse
until they used the Cuticura Remedies, and
he was cured in two weeks. He most Ger
