MANY WAYS TO GET MARRIED.
All Kinds of Licenses and Special Per

There are very many ways OF getting
married under the marriage laws OF the
United Kingdom.
To begin with, the couple may choose
the religious ceremony of the denomina-
ton To which one or both belong. Or
they may be married at the Office of a
rCglstrar-that Is a civil marriage. Or
they may go through the civil
and the religious one. Many people do.
And that makes three methods of get

An Investment in Trees,

Members of the Art association and other
civic organizations of Springfield have begun
campaign locking to the establishment of a
city shade tree commission for their city, under
the administration of city forester. Rock
Island residents, reading of their enterprise,
are bound to mingle their good wishes for its
success with signs for that time when the
condition of our municipal finances will permit
Rookie island itself to take such step. Little
municipal money is expended upon trees in
Rock Island. What well-adorned streets it has
it owes entirely to individual initiative and in
telligence. Unfortunately not every city prop
erty owner is qualified forester, competent
to Judge Of the best trees for planting, and of
the care they should receive in order to full
fill their purpose. The result is seen in many
an addition in which permanent value was sac
rificed to temporary expediency; where quick
growing trees are proving to be as quick in de-
caying and are marring rather than identifying
the surrounding property. Trees and care of
trees are not only the surest agents of city
beauty, but the cheapest Any other device
used for the adornment OF street usually
costs more in initial installation, and invariably
more in maintenance. Money spent upon a
city's trees bears interest in the pleasure and
comfort of its people, and in its reputation
among strangers The time is coming when it
will be more literally expended

A New Literature.

discussion is taking place in England
whether a new literature has not arisen, or
is not arising in the United States. In one
sense everything that is great in literature is
new and in another sense nothing that is great
in literature is new. Yet it is easy to UNDER
stand what is meant by new literature 1t is
literature which may be derivative from prev
ious culture, but it is not initiative of the modes
of expression used by the culture to which it
owes its origin A very competent critic de-
clares that such literature is arising in Ameri-
ca. He declares that o. 4enry is the father of
it, possibly because o. Henry's work was the
first in which he recognized this quality of new
ness and to which he could not forbid the title
of literature.
This leads another critic to call o. Henry
"a vulgarized, blatant, hiccupy edition of Bret
Harte, Mark Twain and Artemus Ward" This
it may be observed is just the kind of language
which Shakespeare narrowly escaped and
which could have been applied and no doubt
was to his predecessors whose roarings in
melo-dramatic vein are admittedly little diff
fcult to any cultivated taste Whether a new
literature is being born in America or not it
will not do to beg the question by declaring
that any books produced here may conform to
modes and forms already in existence in order
to be literary.

The Physieleey Il Sweating.

ne fhySf0leey u SWeoem8s :
The skin excretes practically the
same substances the kidneys ex-
crete, save that these substances In
the sweat are insignificant in guam
tity as compared with the kidney
excretion. Many years ago, before
we learned that the quantities of
urea, ammonia, uric acid, amino
acids, creatinin, chlorides, phos-
plates and sulphates excreted in
the sweat were insignificant. there
was belief that the skin could or
would vicariously take up the work
of the kidneys, and sweat-baths OF
various kinds we're much employed
in the treatment of diseases in
which the kidney function was
much impaired. Now we know bet
ter and the sweat-bath treatment
has been discarded by most physi-
clans.
In the excretion of just one sub
stance is the function of the skin
atsall comparable with that, of the
kidneys, and that substance is pure
water. Ordinarily from five to six
pints are excreted as sweat daily
The only other substance excret-
ed by the skin in anything like the
quantity excreted by the Xidneys is
common salt. OF this there is or
dinarily excreted through the kid

half an Ounce) daily, and through
the skin about two grams (one-half
teaspoonfuD daily.
Sweat may be alkaline, neutral
or acid, but it is usually slightly
acid. The acid character is due to
admixture with the sebaceous or
oily secretion of the skin.
