EARTH ILL BE A PARADISE Chicago Educator Says Pres ent Century Will See Utopia Realized. CHICAGO, Feb. 6. A prediction that Americans are soon to bo citi zens of the dream ot ages and that our democracy is to blossom into a "Kingdom of Heaven on Earth," is mado br Professor W. B. Elkin, of the University of Missouri. He has recorded his opinions in the Ameri can Journal of Sociology, the Janu ary number of which was issued re cently from the University of Chicago press. The prophesy is made in an article, "The Problem of Civilization in the Twentieth Century." The author believes that in the century the earth will become many times more fruitful, the population of the globe will lncreaes many-fold, transportation will be cheapened and finally "a heaven and new earth will appear." , Before arriving at these Utopian conclusions Professor Elkin Insists that many changes must be made in the country's organization. Ho in sists: "1. That every village and city must have a public physician who must not only cure people, but keep them well. "2. That the government must supply who will glvo legal advice free. "3. That the clergy must take a brace and quit imitating. "4. That the colleges should print nnd edit the newspapers. "5. That insurance should be a function of government. "C. That railroads should .charge no more than one-fourth of a cent a mile. "7. That the cook question must be solved by gigantic eating clubs. "8. That labor must keep on organizing." MARRIAGE CONTRACT 12000 YEARS OLD A REVELATION Shows Wives of Ancient Egypt Con trolled Money Matters and Es tablishes Pharaoh's Reign. TOLEDO, O., Feb. 7. A marriage contract over 2000 years old, discov ered in a tomb near Carlo, Egypt, nnd now in the collection of tho Mu seum of Art, Toledo, O., has, it Is announced been deciphered by tho ogyptologists at tho University of Strassburg, Germany, and found to be, from a historic standpoint, ono of tho most Important documents brought to light in recent year3. George W. Stevens, director of the Toledo museum, says: "Tho papyrus establishes a period of an Egyptian Pharaoh whoso tinio of roign has been hitherto unknown, nnd gives us documentary evidence of tho exalted financial position ac corded to married women In Egypt threo centuries boforo Christ. Tho lost Pharaoh whoso period of reign is established is Khabbasha and tho tlmo is 312, B. C. "From the translation it is estab lished that in caso tho wife repudiat ed tho husband sho nllowed him to take back half his dower. Tho Egyp tian husband not only received noth ing from tho bride, but had to put up n bonus to mnko hlmsolf a matri monial possibility. Tho document shows that in caso of a separation ho was allowed by his wife to tako but one-third of tho monoys they should have acquired together dur ing tho tlmo they wero married." LEAP YEAll ADVICE. I am llttlo lato with my leap year editorial, partly because there doesn't seem to be any noticeable increase in marriage licenses and partly because I don't know what to say, anyhow. A littlo wholesome advice, perhaps, and a few kind words of warning, will bo about all, I guess, after which a couple of the brethren will pass tho contribution boxes; and then wo will sing a hymn or two and the meeting will adjourn. Ladles, before you ask your sweet heart to give up that priceless treas ure, single blessedness, ponder over I the matter. Don't rush in and dare him to marry you without consulting his parents or the Btars. Many a young man has boon yanked from a happy home where cares abounded not and where llfo was one grand, glorious panorama of gladness, to an existence of toil and privation and misery. See to it that your incomo will support him in tho regal splen dor to which he has been accustomed before nsklng him to bust the homo ties and go out with you Into a sor did world of which ho wots not a wot. Think twice or three times be- foro you lead him to the marriage halter, Look Into the innermost depths of his gentle, trusting heart and If it beats a note or two out of tune, never never ask him to get up and build the early morning fire, or somq day his heart will beat rag tlmo and he will kick the bucket with more or less alacrity. Stay at home nights as of ten as possible for when tho lights are dim and low and mice and men gang aft aglee, and several other blood-curdling noises are getting in their work, and you return home to find youd loving and lonesome hus band in tears and tho cat in the gravy dish, you will never forgive your self. Try paddling your rolling-pin. Many a poor husband has been driv en out into the world by harsh meas ures where a little kindness practiced here and there would teach him to admire and even respect you at times. Avoid pouring hot grease down his back whenever possible. This has a tendency to make him nervous and excltablo and will eventually cause him to chew tobacco. When you are wiping up the floor with your beloved husband and slamming him against tho red hot stove and knocking the spots off him generally and throwing tho remains Into the spittoons, just remember it was not always thus, and no matter how much money you have swiped out of his pockets he is still your husband. Try and keep all his love In the family. If you can't hand lo it all n your business, train the hired girl, for no fairer flower grows than a husband with tho rose-bloom-of lovo on his cheek and the love light In his mouse-colored eyes. Jacsonvllle Post. THE PARADISE OF THE "BOOZE FIGHTER" Horn's u Problem: Who Paid For tho Cow boy's Whiskey? A London paper, which Is far enough away to bo safo, started a Mary Ann problom thus: In tho .United States tho Mexican dollar has nn exchange vnluo of 90 cents.
