The fearful simplicity Of Gods open
air thundered hymeneai IN full dia-
pascn while the two artistic tempera-
ments, as though native to that rarifed
atmosphere of ozonic purity were
blended in one soul of sweet, poetic,
well-nigh Promethean FIRE. 1t was very
picturesque.
Three iwecks-and they were not
three weeks Of sybaritie daintiness OF
flaming passion described in a lurid
best seller feverishly bought and read
a while ago-three weeks of simplicity
were enough for the hermitess. Either
she thirsted for the water brooks of a
more frequent society or simply tired
of having nothing more to sculp-or
scalp-than the hermit and few crags
which did not lend themselves readily to
her art.
Not every two of mates, the truth is,
can find an enduring perfection of &C.
stasy in the book of verses underneath
the bough, the jug Of wine. the. loaf
of bread, and the Thou in the wilder
ness. They need diversion from their
beatifc oneness. Perhaps If these per-
sons had had up little house party
about the time their three weeks ended,
if they had had a phonograph. or an au-
tonobile, or photograph album or
couple of slashing detective stories
week, they'd still be happy on Inde-
pendence Peak, perhaps driving a snug
trade in souevinor post cards.
The true conclusion about the pic
turesque couple is not that the artistic
temperament is any more anomalous in
the twentieth than in any other CEN
tury, but that two of them are too large
for any hermitage.

Plaia Duiy d the lliElia.

Secretary Of Labor Wilson set n
admirable example for the other mem.
bers of the Cabinet when he made i
known that the employees of bis de-
Ipartment could absent themselves from
the department for militia duty with
out damage to their efficiency ratings
as employees of the Federal government.
Secretary of Commerce Redfeld had
arranged several months previously
thar employees of his department might
be active militiamen without lowering
their ratings, but Secretary Wilson's
order is the first direct response to the
appeal of Secretary of War Garrison
to his Colleagues" of the Cabinet for
relief of Federal workers who were
about to be estopped from participa-
ton in National Guard service because
the absences from their civil duties
necessary to performance of military
functions practically destroyed their
opportunities for personal advancement.
Secretary Wilson's promp. accession
to the request of Mr.. Garrison, who is
seeking to afford through executive
acts needed relief which would be
provided but tardily through legisla-
ton, is very apt to be followed readily
by other department heads, both be-
cause Secretary Wilson's judgment is
thus made corroborative of Secretary
Garrison's, and because his decision
will call the attention of other officials
to the need of expeditions consideration
and disposal of this affair.
When considered there is but one
logical disposal of the matter apparent,
and that is an acquiescenee in the re-
quest of Secretary Garrison. As The
Herald mas previously ex-
planned, for the Federal government, as
at present, to practically deny its own
employees the right of participation in
a national and Federally recognized es-I
like the National Guard is
save on theory under
which employees of private establish
nents would properly meet with the
same denial.
Such a theory Is untenable as long
IS there is citizen soldiery.

MONKEY EXPERIMENTS.
May Develop Politicians, Orators
and Prima Donnas.

Monkey politicians and orators and
'simian" prima donnas may be a COM
mon thing in the course of a few years
IL an experiment to be made by scien-
fists proves successful.
According TO the Journal of the Ameri-
can Medical Association, scientists who
have struggled for years to prove or dis
prove the Darwinian theory. and inciden-
tally have worked out medical problems
and cures with the aid of monkeys. are
now planning to establish a monkey farm
on the Canary Islands. where the simians
may be closely studied.
Fear that in a few years the monkeys
will be almost extinct has caused the
movement for the experimental station.
Science and medicine would sustain a Sc
we're loss IL such a state of affairs should
exist. says the journal.
The ''primates'' are to be transported
from Africa and allowed to live in their
natural state. A study will be made of
their language and their ability to learn
to talk. gesture. and sing. They will be
taught color PERCEPTION. and the influ-
ence of certain colors upon the nerves OF
the monkeys will be studied and an at
tempt made to apply the same tests to
human beings.
One of the main studies will be the
hypothesis Or a double origin of man.
lne DeleI unlNersal AMONG sdNdBeS DelnB
that anthropoids living in the trees of
their front yards are not brutes, but
men like themselves.
The propagation of the simian Is an i'm
portant factor in the study of medicine
and the discovery of serums and cures
for human ills. Numerous tests have
proved. says the Journal. that diseases
which are prevalent in mankind exist
also in monkeys, and the simian will re-
act to, the test practically the same as
man.
AS an example, IL was a monkey which
first taught that bovine tuberculosis
could be transmitted to hum0n beings.
although not as easily. as in monkeys.
Four species of simians will be taken to
the Canary Islands. the gorilla. Chin
panzee. orang-utan. and gibbon. as these
have proved to have more human traits
than any other anthropsids.

The world can but admire the pluck
and spirit displayed by Thomas S. Nc
Nab, the ninety-fve-year-old swain, of
Weymouth, Mass, who plans to marry
Mrs. Alice Clark, seventy-four years
old, of Northampton. 1t seems that
the oyerseers of the poor, dubious as
TO McNab's future financial prospects,
are seeking to shatter his romance by
warning the prospective bride. McNab
says he is an expert in the fashioning
of automobile tools, showing. he is
strictly up to date, as every voting man
should be. His resentment at the in
reference of the overseers is, there
fore, but natural, and we should ad-
wise them not to go too far with this
hot-blood bent on n,atrimony.

New York County is making divorce
attractive, 10 husbands at least. Most
of the prisoners in Ludlow Street Jail
are there for failure to pay alimony.
The average membership of the "ali-
mony club" as the inmates are known,
is fourteen, and they live at the rate
OF $3.50 day at public expense. As
the sheriff says in an official report, it
would be cheaper for the county to pay
the alimony for the prisoners and set
them free. But think of the poor fel-
lows who have enjoyed case and lux
ury so long, being thrown upon their
own resources. With no homes to go
to, they might be tempted to marry
again..

ELDEST SONS INFERIOR.

Experts Contend.
Prom the Pan Mall Gazette

From the PGn Mall Gazette
Among the vested interests which are
threatened by this iconoclastic age is the
position Of the eldest son. In the current
issue OF the EuSeniCs Review We find a
variety of reasons for regarding the first
born as the inferior article. One might
urge upon general grounds that the
prentice hand of parentage would not
attain its greatest success at the very
outset And statistics are sdduced which
suggest strongly that eldest children are
below the average in physical and other
endowments.
A Danish authority has found by in
vestigation among consumptives that.
while one in six OF the whole community
is tuburculous. one in four among the
first-born exhibits that defect. Liability
to the disease seems TO diminish. in fact.

comptroller Edward NJ. Grou. ard James
I. Ashley In connection VITA the affairs
OF the Union Bank. of which hey were
president and cashier respectively.
ON April .. 1910. two days before the
bank closed It's doors. Grout and Ashley
verified the affidavit attached to the
quarterly report furnished to the SUPER
lntendcnt Of Banks showing the bank to
be entirely solvent with assets sufficient
10 pay its liabilities In full and a sur
PLUG of 100000.
When the bank was closed the State
Banking Department found that IL had
no surplus. that the capital stock OF
si.0O0.0o0 was gone and there was no
money to pay the depositors.
The motion to dismiss the indictments
was based on the ground that the evidence
received by the Grand Jury was INSULT
cient and that tho indcting body was In
fiuenced by other than legal evidence.
District Attorney Cropscy intends to
bring the case to trial before the Grim

month.
