married a medical student. Matches made under such circumstances are by no means unknown to the divorce courts. In the Denver case Mrs. Sachet continued to endow her student with her worldly goods until her means were exhausted. When everything she had was gone, dissensions arose. She sued for divorce on the ground of non-sup- port, but the court gave MT. Sachet the divorce, the wife's inability to fulfill completely the ante-nuptial pledge figuring ill the decission.
 "That husband can, by promise before marriage, obtain release from his obligation to support his wife and even impose on her a duty to support him seems, of. course, a striking feature of the case. But more striking fea- ture is that such decision is possible in a state like Colorado, where the women have been voting since 1893. "
 Of course such a decision would be impossible in Connecticut where brutal man alone is the law maker. Here the husband is bound to support his wife. Do Suffragists wish to carry their efforts to their logical (Colorado) con- cluSiOn

Diaaontent.

Success is n disease. if the reason ing of those who give the identical def. milton for poverty is to be followed. An excellent preventive is idlcness or inertia: another is satisfaction. Find the man who is satisfied and you need look no further for human putty. Con- tent breeds Indias and Chinns. Dis content sends Maylowers across oceans not the sullen discontent that does nothing, but the discontent that mani fests itself in striving to better con ditions, the discontcnt that means hard work and plenty of il. Some firms are so c0ntented with the volume of busi- ness they have that they do nothing to int rease it. But the discontented com pctitor is doing something, as the first firm generally finds out before going into bankruptcy. You 70 ahead or you go back in this world. You cannot stand still. Satisfaction too often means just that-doing nothlng.-Philadelph Ledger

Juna and Matrimonv.

The first people to adopt the month of June as sacred to Hymen. the god of marriage, were the ancient Romans, who considered June the most propi- tious season of the year for entering upon matrimonial relations. The Ro- mans held that June weddings were likely to be happier than alliances con- trncted in any other month of the year, especially if the day chosen were that of the full moon or the conjunction of the sun and moon. They also held that of all months May was to be most avoided. as in that month newlyweds would come under the influence of spir- its adverse to happy households. These ancient marriage superstitions were re- tained by the Christians in the middle ages, and even today June is consil- cred by many to be pre-eminently the month of marriages. - Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph

Glaciers Tn Nebraska.

Many of the physical features Of eastern Nebraska were produced by sheets of ice that invade the region during and after the earlier stages of the great ice age. At the opening of the glacial epoch the great Keewatin glacier spread soutLward and covered large parts of the Dakotas, Minnesota and Iowa and extended thence into eastern Nebraska. where it was prob- ably several hundred feet thick. This first stage of s,aciation was brought to a close ny the melting of the ice in warmer interglacial time or stage the Aftonan.
 X remarkable asscmblage of animals invaded the region after the ice had disappeared. and the bones and teeth of many of these animals have been found in the Aftonian deposits Of western Iowa. The late Professor Samuel Calvin identified the remains of horses, camcls, stags. elephants. mastodons. mammoths and sloths. When these animals lived in western Iowa the climate there must have been comparatively mild and vegetation very abundant.-Geologic Survey Bull letin.

When Dreams Come True.y

"When Dreams Come True" the musical play by Philip Barthol Dmae comes to the Mahaiwe Theatre, Great Burlington, on Friday night, direct from long engagements i'll New York, Chicago, Boston and Philadelphia. "When Dreams Come True" is new show to the country at large. the first year having been spent in the above mentioned cities, which fact answers we'll for our own theatre goers.
 "When Dreams Come True" is de- scribed as a musical comedy of youth, and as the twenty-four members of the chorus are still in their teens and the majority of the principals still under the thirty mark, it would appear that the managers of the company have made an effort to be consistent in the personnel of their organization.

Poisons In Warfare.

There are many substances which may be employed to poison or asphyx- fate an enemy, either by tempering the wind or by use in projectiles. Hydro cyanic acid, known as prussic acid, is so poisonous that mere breath of 1t means instant death. Sulphuric an- hydride when brought in contact with air combines rapidly with moisture ab- sorbed from the air, producing sul- phuric acid. Thrown in a bomb with just explosive charge enough to dis rupt the bomb and scatter the sul- phuric anhydride, the air for n large space about the explosion would be at once converted into dense fog of sul- phuric acid. Liquid ammonia similar ly employed would instantly so fill the atmosphere with ammonia as to stran- gle all persons in the immediate vicin- ity.-Brooklyn Eagle.

WaIpole, kniaht of Garter.

When Sir Robert Walpole was in- stalled knight of the garter in 1T2G he was the only commoncr. with one OK ceptiOn, to whom the honor had been given since the reign of James I. The honor apparently was regarded as so great that Walpole had to apologize for his audacity, which he did in this fash ion: "Is ambition imputed to me? Why, then, do I still continue a commoner- I who refuse a white staff and peer age? I had, indeed, like to have for gotten the little ornament about my shoulders which gentlemen have so repeatedly mentioned in terms of sar- castle obloquy. But, surely, though this may be regarded with envy or in- dignation in another place. it cannot be supposed to raise any resentment in this house, where many may be pleased to see those honors which their ances- tors have worn restored to the com mons. s."-London Chronicle.

SUFFRAGE-PRO AND CON
Pro-.

One of the good results of the suffrage agitation i'll this state is the greatly quickened interest that is being taken in school matters by the women. Both suffragists and anti -suffragists agree that when once the ballot is conferred on women it is their duty to use it although this is duty that has sat lightly on the shoulders of enfranchised men, and there is no legal obligation to fulfill it. In the past the women have not lived up to this bligation-neither suffragists nor anti suffragists, but with the new sense of civic responsibility created by the active discussion of woman suffrage, the former indifference is passing away. In many of the small towns applications to be made school voters are received up to September 16 two weeks hence-and judging by the number of these applications already filled, there will be large increase in the school vote at the next election on school matters.
 Woman suffrage is again to be we'll represented at the Connecticut Fair in Hartford which opens on Labor Day. There will be suffragist exhibits, the voiceless speech, much sale and distri- button of small souvenirs, and open air speaking at frequent intervals during Fair week. There will also be suffrage demonstrations at the other county and local fairs through this month and next.

STEEL SHARES STRONG
IN PHILADELPHIA
Warwick Iron and Cambria
Heavily Bought - Storage
Battery at New Top.

Before business began on the local ex-
change this morning a prominent down
town house received heavy orders from
several New York brokerage offices to
buy Cambria Steel at the market. The
result was a sharp upspurt in the stock
at the outset. There was also large New
York buying of Electric Storage Battery,
which was reported as coming from In
terests connected with the new submarine
building company which is the outgrowth
of the Electric Boat Company. The stock
made new high record for the year,
crossing 6S.
The sudden interest in local issues taken
by Wall street is doubtless largely due
to the widely printed accounts of immense
war orders coming to the Philadelphia
district This has naturally turned the
traders attention over there to the pos
sibilities OF various issues here As n

be largely held by New Workers..

LONDON MARKET IRREGULAR

the trading on the Stock Exchange today.
The markets had the weekend appear
anCe, and the attendance was small The
tone of the gllt-edged section was hard.
War loans were the most brisk, and
showed firmness. This was in the face
OF the request by the treasury to the
public. to use the notes more freely in
stead of the gold. This, In view of the
action of the treasury, is interpreted as
forecasting further exports of the pre-
cious metal to the United States. Home
rails were weak The success OF the

ence issue Of the London and Northwest
ern Railway limited was doubted. The

that the dividend would be maintained
at the meeting in Montreal next week.
Grand Trunks were quiet; there is some
uncertainty as to the full distribution OF

lacked steadiness. The evacuation of

change. Argentine rails were fiat. The
