HALLOWEEN PARTIES.

9 Miss Mabel Magnuson royalty en-
tertained eighteen of her friends at
a Halloween party last Thursday
evening. When the guests arrived
they were received by two ghosts,
who ushered tt EN- in and cared for
their wraps. After the guests had &C
customed themselves to their weird
surroundings, of such things as
witches, and grotesque jack-'o-lan-
terms, they played games and held

ments were served on small tables.

of the bearer and was gaily decorated
in orange and black. =.

Joy of Living.

The legitimate joy of living is the
prize of sanity, courage and sympathy.
The sight of all the ~preventable dis
eases and the moral disasters that are
a%voidable may, and often must, draw
a cloud over the day. The still, sad
music of humanity is not always sooth-
ing to those who hear it, and some
times makes ~cheerfulness seem Grim
inal. Yet the cheerful, happy souls
are the bringers of blessing to the
disconsolate and the victims of sin and
sorrow. Every human being has a
right to be happy if he can, and in
deed he is under obligation to set the
example to others who live under
darkened skies. 1t is a help and COM
fort to the down-trodden and the OPP
pressed to know that there is such a
thing as liberty, and that it is obtain
able. The sight of an innocent, happy
child will often bring comfort to a
sorrowful heart. He who is unselfishly
happy because he is at peace with him
self and attuned to the harmonies of
nature is in the proper mood to serve
his fellow-men.

FREQUENTLY FORGOT RING
Nervous Bridegrooms Overlook lmpor'

Substitute Sometimes Used.

This warning has been given many
times to the V bridegroom on
the morning of the great event of his
life. One would hardly think it nee
essary to remind a man of so impor-
tant a feature of the ceremony. Yet,
again and again has the agitated bride
groom found himself in the awful pre-
dicament of being minus the hoop Of

which sometimes ensue. In some in
stances, the clergyman has come to
the rescue. At n wedding, when the
bridegroom confessed that he had for
gotten the ring, the minister prompt.

pocket, handed the largest of the

who looked stupidity at the large loop

clergyman, said in a dazed fashion:

other clergyman, at a suburban "ed-
ding, supplied the suddenly discovered
deficiency by removing his eyeglasses,

offering the gold rim to the bride.

No Race of Giants.

The remains of extinct races Of men
which have been dug up furnish no
evidence of the former existence of
giants" nor does any race of men
larger than that inhabiting the north
ern parts of Great Britain exist at the
present day. We recognize a certain
size as that which is characteristic of
man and of various species of wild
animals, and we are accustomed to a
certain small variation in that size, SO
that individuals are somewhat Short
err or taller" But any large diver
gence from the characteristic height
amounting in the case Of man to a
third more or less than the average
or normal height we regard as alto
gether exceptional, and speak Of the
abnormally tall individuals as giants"
and the abnormally short Is "dwarfts."

EARLY MARRIAGE THE THING
DR.. Eliot Firmly of Opinion That 1t
Should Not Be Put Off Until
Middle Life.

DR.. Eliot, whose name was men
toned as American Ambassador in
London, is strongly in favor Of early
marriages. Here are his views:-
"You will hear some young man say,
4 cannot invite a girl who has been
brought up to do nothing for herself,
and to have every qualification and
every luxury provided for her, to
marry me, until I can earn an in
come which will enable her to live
with me in that way l have two re-
marks to make about that doctrine
that if a girl has been brought up in
that manner, the sooner she has a
chance to live differently the better
for her; and, secondly, that it is only
fair for a young man who loves a
young woman to consult her as to
whether or not she wishes to marry
him before he can carr a large in
come.
1.-The young woman has a clear
right to say a word on that subject
to the man she loves, and not to be
obliged to wait till he is thirty-five
years old before he asks her to marry
him. This is a matter of looking
ahead at a critical point in your lives.
Young men are not in the habit, per-
haps, of contemplating this aspect of
marriage. It would be wiser to do SO.
The sooner you begin to think about it
the better-first, because it will be
thinking about the most important
event in your lives in respect to the
development of your W characters
and to the happiness not only of your
selves, but of the women you will
marry, and of the family life which
will normally result"

opinion concerning the young man he
considered his rival, he had not exag-
gerated. Rose had given the
least encouragement to Marts adj
'vaces. In fact, she had never known
what love meant until Ralph Tilden
had come into her life.
The latter was a manly young fell
low, whom every girl might be proud
to attract. He had been recently ad-
,mitted to the bar; his first case in
court had been the defense of a poor
woman whose suit other lawyers had
declined because she could not pay
"a fee. Ralph had won the case, it's
"details got into the public prints, and
he had earned golden opinions as to
his professional ability and his phil
a%nthropic unselishness.
All unconscious of the deft plots
being woven to disturb their happi-
ness, Rose and Ralph passed some
pleasant hours. On the spur of a
vague suspicion regarding some of the
movements of the young attorney,
Mart fancied himself possessed of all
the attributes of a skilful detective in
running down his "clews," as he was
pleased to call them. He came to

First Civilization.

It was Egypt, in all probability, that
the condition we call civilization had
its rise at d time when the very idea
of writing was unknown to other ma
tions. An attempt is now being made
to show that the idea of the settled
and more or less orderly and peace
full social state to which we give the
name of civilization came from Chal-
dea, or Babylonia, where that sort OF
thing existed long before it was
brought to Egypt. But not as yet is
the theory clearly proven, though its
advocates r making some pretty
strong points in It's favor. So far,
however, the Land Of Egypt" holds
the title.
