(south Bend. Ind, News-Times)
 When this feeling of spring gets into the air. isn't 1t about time to go into the country and cut a cane? Any kind of cane will do-an alder stalk or wand of hazel. Then climb upon the rail fence, facing the sunshine, and whittle it smooth.

Duty on Personal Baggage.
Philadelphia Inquirer.)

It is to be hoped that the reported intention of the treasury department to permit wider latitude to returning tourists in the matter of personal baggage will prove to have official sanction. Heretofore passengers were permitted to bring only wearing ap- parel or toilet articles for their own use, and persons bringing in d piece of dress goods or suit length to be made in this country had to pay full duty. Under the reported new ruling travellers may bring presents for res latives and friends in the form of table linen, gloves, cloth. household goods and the like to the extent Of $1O0, providing the goods are not for sale.
 All tariff laws arc difficult to exe- cute with precision, but as long as congress in it's wisdom has seen fit to make an exemption to the, amount of $1OO for returning Americans the pro- visions should be construed as liberal ly as possible In the case of persons of moderate means great part of the pleasure of a trip abroad con- sists in bringing home little presents to friends and relatives, and it seems perfectly sensible that these things should be included in the $100 ex- emption.

the end of forty-e eight hours. Until January 24, 1895, when the meteoric parliamentarian died of paralysis at the age of forty-six, it was a col laboration of brilliant minds and in tense ambition and congeniality of tastes that accentuated the sharpness of the contrast when Mrs. Cornwallis- West found herself "yoked with an unbeliever in the things to which her radiant, impulsive personality was given. Ingratiating manners, a mili- tary bearing, good looks and facile tongue she found poor substitute for the marriage of true minds that had been hers; heart-sick, she re- gained her lonely independence and resumed her name impetuously for feited. >.
 Hers is the story not of one woman merely, but of many. On every hand today one observes restless chafing under the restrictions matrimony i'm poses, or precipitate entrance into unblest alliances only to suffer wretchedly from the mistake before legal processes retract, though they cannot retrieve 1t. Apostles of new social freedom find ready disciples among those who, as George Meredith would say, have "not yet rounded Cape Turk" and are at heart polygamic. Some married persons maintain the hollow fiction of a union for appearances sake. They continue to travel life's common way together. not because their affections constrain them, but merely to avoid the scandal of a separation. If the habit of di- vorce increases, the day may como when there will be no scandal, nor even polite surprise. It is for earnest men and women everywhere to set their faces sternly against the deg radiation of the highest and holiest of human relationships, that the sweep ing tide may be stemmed ere it is too late.
