Widows Three Tests,

A smart widow at a country house
was telling the other day that there
were three courses through which
every woman should put man before
she married him. These were eating,
Laughing and kissing. "A mans laugh
tells a lot" she said. eff it is hearty
and merry he is good tempered; if loud
and empty it means he lacks feeling.
Beware of a greedy man. 1t will be a
case Of feed the brute all the time.'.
And, according to her, kissing was the
most important test of all.

The Great MARI
borough
By REV. THos. B. GREGORY

TT was 202 years ago that the
Great Marlborough was hand
ed his walking papers by
Queen Anne, and the most illus
trious man In the world. bowling
his head to the storm, felt as did
the old Cardinal Minister of Hen
~ the Eighth--"Oh, how wretch
ed is that poor man that hangs
on princes favors."
John Churchlll---for such he
was to begin with-just plain
John Churchill-was one of the
luckiest men that ever lived. If
fortune ever had a darling, a pet
ted, pampered favorite, upon
whom she delighted to pour her
richest favors. 1t was Churchill.
All the Graces, all the good and
kindly Angels. all tho gracious,
smiling Fates seemed to camp
about him, and, when he moved,
to follow him with their ever
renewed and never failing bene-
dictions.
And in a way this seemed to
be all right, for Churchill, In an
important sense, earned his illus
trious honors. He was selected
by his Government to beat down
the oppressive rule of Louis
Fourteenth, and he performed his
task to perfection: and in crush
ing the power OF that high
headed old despot, he did England
and the whole world the service
that can never be fully appre-
ciated.
AS general Marlborough is
almost without a peer. He never
lost a battle, never besieged a
city without taking It, and never
undertook anything in a military
way without accomplishing 1t.
Measured by the ideals of his
time. he was a great MANN
fact, the greatest man-and it
was only right that he should
have his splendid reward.
But John Churchin reappeared
in the Duke of Marlborough. and
John Churchill, while very great
man, was anything but a good
man. Selfish. INSCRIPTIONS, I'M
feeling. stranger to high prin-
ciple, and never knowing the JOY
OF great and noble enthusiasm,
il was only natural that his for
tunes should crumble.
The old lncorruptible Integri-
" seemed to say in the case of
Marlborough: Without intending
or wishing It, you did much for
mankind. You smashed the ar
mics OF the Reactionists and by
your splendid victories paved the
way for modern liberty and prog
ress, and for this you shall have
your Ducal crown and splendid
palace. But because YOU were
always mean and selfish, think
ing more OF John Churchill than
OF humanity ana right. YOU shall
have taste OF humiliation with
it ala dash OF mud on Your
splendid honors,"

Germany's Great
Fresh Air Project
By EDWIN MARKHAM.

TN Elmer Roberts' instructive
book. "Monarchical Social
. ISM" sent out by Scribner's,
l find record of a scheme that
could we'll be put into effect on
the outskirts of some American
cities also. It will appeal to all
of moderate income:
"The passion Of the town
dweller for the country, the town
dweller of modest income, causes
the large towns and cities in Ger
many to be encircled with what
looks like the shanties of squat
ters in the West. Around Berlin
are zones of open fields divided
into tens of thousands Of plots of
fifteen to twenty yards square,
often larger, which are let for the
summer to people of the city.
Each rectangie Is a miniature
country place. The skilled work
man, the small storekeeper, the
professional man of moderate in
come rents one of these little
farms and builds tiny house
upon It. He is expected to build
this house himself, and it Is con-
sidered bad form to call in car
penters or professional help. Two
hundred dollars spent on a house
would be extravagant, and the
building, with spring repairs,
lasts for years.
II know nothing like this in
other countries. There must be
q hundred thousand Of these i'm
provised villas in the environs of
Berlin, each the fresh-air base Of
a family, plot set on plot with
footways between, in groupings
called arbor colonies. 1t is said
as political pleasantly that
these are the only successful
colonization projects Of the En-
pire.
The people who can not go
away for long to the seashore or
to the mountains find in these
daylight settlements that contact
with green things and sunshine
and air means health of spirit and
reconciliation to the arid life of
the city. The tangled spirits OF
the factory or shop-driven en-
ployee are quieted and rested and
'tonicked-up" for the battle OF
the next day. The mental eff
fects on the grown people are as
obvious as the health and fun
that the children get.
The German nature cult apart
from sport has a deeper infiu-
ence probably upon the whole
nation than among any other
people. School children are taken
into the country one or two days
every week by one OF the teach
ers and taught the names and the
meaning OF things they see.
Troops OF boys and girls, each
with lunch box or knapsack,
walk for miles into the country,
through the public forests. learn
ing the names of the plants, the
animals and the birds, and how
they grow, the simple outlines of
mineralogy, and the components
of the earth, The children have a
fine day in the open air and grad
ually learn to understand ana TO
love the fields and the woodS,"

RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS,

H. c. G.-The words from Ar
ticle II, amendments to the Con-
stitution OF the United States, "A
wellregulated militia being nee
essary to the security of a free
people, the right Of the people
to keep and bear arms shall not
be infringed." evidently have a
community meaning; but they
also carry along with them the
right Of the individual to safe
guard himself and his house by
keeping himself armed with the
necessary means of defense. The
laws against carrying concealed
weapons, now on the statute
books OF most of the States, is
a matter quite foreign to the
broad principles of the right Of
keeping and bearing arms.

WHAT IS INSTINCT?

T. F. M.-Instinct is a generic
term comprising all those facul-
ties Of mind which lead to the
conscious performance of actions
that are adaptive in character,
but pursued without Necessary
knowledge OF the relation between
the means employed and the ends
attained. It Is hardly necessary
TO remark that sometimes in
stinct" comes SO close to "rea-
son" that it is almost impossible
to distinguish between them.

subject of motherhood for her

Expunges Stiffness.
Mrs. Winifred Harper Cooley.
president of the Associated Clubs
of Domestic Science, was in
clined to back up DR.. McNutt's
conclusions.
Mrs. Cooley says that the
higher education for woman pre-
vents silly sentiment from TAX
ing her captive and lettering her
with an approximately indissolu-
BILE marriage.
Mature does not contemplate a.
lifelong partnership" says DR..
Anna Shaw, land it is not at all
likely that a woman Of intellec-
tual attainments will marry a
man who is mentally common
place"
The tragedy of marriage often
turns on the fact that while the
man and woman start in on an
equality, the woman gets incar-
cerated in a kitchen, is deluged
in housekeeping details, and
swamped by society, while the
man goes ahead and Intellectual
ly evolves.
So at 40 or so this man and
woman are strangers to each
other.
Marilla Kicker, attorney at law.
says that the smallness of fami-
lies is principally on account of
the bad habits of the men.
And for these small families
we should be thankful. Nature
attends to this herself.
Men show women how to
smoke cigarettes, drink elevated
spheroids, gamble at cards, and
to go on speed limit rides in
search of joy. These lobster pal
ace devotees fear baby as a
calamity and a scourge, and, hap
PLY, God, being good, babies do
not come to them.
While, perhaps, 1t is true that
more women go to the hospitals
than men, the usual fact is that
these women are sent to the hos
pitfalls through the sins of the
man, not the woman"
Constantly.
The Conservation Commission
appointed by the United States
Government states that there are
constantly in America three mil
lion sick people who are con-
stantly idle. These people are
sick simply because they have
violated the laws of health.
My experience leads me to be-
lieve that more men violate the
laws of health than women, and
/ have lived a good while, and l
have lived with my eyes open
excepting when I have been
asleep.

Bv EBERT HUBBARD

a TABLE of interesting sta
~ tistics has been put out I'M
officially, from Philadelphia
with intent to show that the high
er education Of women tends to
race suicide. The original basis
of these figures was a thesis
worked out at length by a Rryn
Mawr graduate.
We have been told that gossips
lie like epitaphs; and certain it
Is that figures prevaricate. If
you don't believe it, ask your
tailor. Mark Twain says you can
prove anything by statistics, pro-
vided you select the right ones.
Let an individual start out with
intent to prove a point, and he
can find figures that will back
him up in it.
Logic is an instrument for en-
trenching a prejudice. At least,
that Is what Miss Gildersleeve,
dean of Barnard, AYERS on being
interviewed.
Says Miss Gildersleeve: "All
these figures prove Is that young
women graduated in 1912 haven't
as many babies as the women who
were graduated in 1900"
Miss Gildersleeve is of the opin-
ion that the higher education
postpones motherhood. That is,
instead of the girl marrying at
10, she marries at 25 And this,
Miss Gildersleeve thinks, is
move in the right direction.
AS DR.. Stanley Hall says, DE
lay adolescence" so Miss Glider
sleeve says, Delay motherhood"
Miss Gildersleeve quotes Hugo
De Vrtes, the eminent biologist,
who says, THE best qualities are
reproduced only from mature
stock"
Better Quality.
DR.. Sarah J. McNutt, a dis
tinguished authority upon med
ical topics, declares emphatically
that it is her opinion, after study
ing the subject for many years,
that a woman who has had the
advantages of the higher educa-
ton will probably not produce as
many children, but her children
will be Of a better quality, and
more likely to live to attain and
to become.
For instance, a woman marry
ing at % will probably have, say,
three children, as against six or
seven, as our grandmammas did.
The fact that a woman of %
is pretty we'll sobered by life,
tanned by time. and has moulted a
few illusions, will cause her to
bring to bear a greater degree
of common sense than If she had
dived into domesticity, totally in
nocent Of the depth of the plunge.
The educated woman of % will
not marry a drunkard, bounder,
rounder or a man who has no
sympathies with her intellectual
aspirations.
Women who marry under 25,"
says DR.. McNutt, ARE usually an
mated purely by sentiment, emo
