Tbat continent may now prepare to get Itself connected with us by pipe line. The Dowager Empress of China and tho boxers seem to have forgotten that lesson taught by the powers not so very long ago. Decidedly the worst thing about that ontl-klsslng movement In Virginia Is that It originated In an assembly of men. A New York City magistrate says that women have a legal right to smoke. The average man would not object to their smoking so much ns to their habit of Raring up. Montreal physicians have discovered that electricity will cure consumption. This makes the fifty-seventh consump tion cure that has been discovered dur ing the past six months. Why will peo ple still Insist on dying of consumption? A literary excavator has' dug up and revamped the old charge tlint most of Alexandre Dumas' novels were really written by his staff of secretaries. If there Is any foundation for the charge It would pay most of our modern nov elists to try the secretary plan likewise. Dr. HIUIs says: "I sometimes think that the only hope for society Is to get all tho authors In n corner and shoot them for a generation, till we could assimilate what we already have." It may be recalled that Dr. HIUIs has added something to the mak ing of books himself. There Is nothing In all this world quite so Irritating as overassumptlon of responsibility. Irresponsibility can be better tolerated. The man or wom anthere Is no distinction of sex In tho matter who goes about the world seeking whom he or she may rebuke, the person who Is charged with a mis dlon. Is of all men most inUery-inaklng. He chants with Titanic, glee. 'The times arc out of joint," and there Is no lamentation In his declaration that be Is born to set them right. When one loses command of himself and throws the reins upon the neck of passion, he may have for the moment a certain enjoyment In the license; but there must surely come a reaction of regret. When be Is calm again, and the fit has passed away, every serious per son must be ashamed of what be said and what be did, of the maimer In which be gave himself away, and the exhibition he made of himself. II.' will recall the amazement on the faces of his friends, and the silence which they adopted as a protective measure, and the soothing language which they used, as If they were speaking with a baby, and the glances which passed be tween them. He will not soon be thought the same of with them as he was before this outburst, nor will be have the same claim upon their confi dence as a sound and clear-headed man. He has acted like a fretful, peev ish child, and has for the time for feited his title to manhood and the place of a man. It takes little to cause divorce In these days. Almost any excuse will serve. Hut It has remained for the Postmaster General of the United States to furnish a cause that Is valid and widespread. Ills order forbidding man and wife to hold clerkships In his department has furnished the divorce mill much new grist to grind. Many clerks prefer to give up their marriage relations rather than their pay. It Is always easy to get another husband or another wife, but It Is not always easy to get another good Job. One woman clerk, drawing $M00 a year, an nounces that she and her husband, who draws $1,800, have decided to part "He has always spent his sal ary," she says, "and I have always spent mine." Neither cares to spend less. The only alternative Is divorce, and divorce Is cheap and easy. It would bo Interesting to know by what curious reasoning a man and woman, divorced, will bo any more satisfac tory to the Postal Department as clerks than they are married. If there la any sense In the theory that mar riage robs a woman of the right to be a wage-earner, then there Is good senso In the universal tendency toward di vorce, not only In the PostoUlco De partment, but everywhere else. There nro conditions that unfit a married woman for regular employment out side tho homo. Hut no such condition lies In marriage Itself. Many childless wives, with little turn for household duties, may do as excellent service as women that are unmarried or divorced. Mnny wives are Justly proud of the ability to maintain their own resources, and even contribute to the household fund. It Is a laudablo prldo and a worthy ambition. Tho government U la small business when It makes a sweeping discrimination against these. If the government Is to throw Its own ponderous weight Into the scalo at all, It should bo on tho side of wedlock, and not ngnihst It. Of course, It Is easy to say that a marrtnga which holds together so loosely Is better ills solved, llut thtf loss of half the family Income Is no small ntntter, especially when the whole of It has barely suf- need. Tho country mouse envies the city mouse. Tho country wife thinks wwi longing of tho concerts, tho theaters, tho tempting shops and the cougculat people of the city, and compares mem with the solitude, the drudgery, nnd the -poverty of resource offered by vn tngo or farm, llut the country woman has ono treasure tbat many of her city cousins may well covet. Sho takes It for gmnted-as she takes the sky, tho air nnd tho music of her children's voices; to a great many city women It has becomo a lost dream. It Is a homo a real home, where the chairs and the dishes nnd tho beds and tho walls nnd tho roof belong to tho family whero a new curtain or n new rose bush Is a permanent ncqulsltlon; where even Inconveniences are problems to be solved, not miseries to be endured. Tho city family of moderate means Is driven moro nnd more frequently to tho boarding house, tho hotel or tho apartment house. Ono Is scarcely net tor thnn tho others so far as the gra clous ntmosphere of homo Is concerned Poor nnd expensive service, high rents In tho cltv. railway expenses In the suburb, the perplexities of market and kitchen and furnace nnd sidewalk ais mnr more nnd more the men and worn cn In the city. The boarding house offers relief, nnd tho tired housekeeper flutters to It. as a moth to tho candle, regardless for the moment of what sho Is losing. When sho realizes that her home has gone, tho whole family may have acquired tho hotel habit, a habit as. pernicious as It Is permanent One after another the unselfishnesses that flourish In n homo have dropped away. In their place have come a passion for case and a cynical disregard of the finer sacrifices of domestic life. This Is the dark side of the picture. Life may be well lived anywhere, but It Is a deeper truth that a real home Is the best soil for tee cultivation of family love and of mutual helpfulness. There be many who have been wont In times past to cast a sympatnetic tear In pity for the lonely spinster, be cause of the dire fate that made her spouseless. The facts seem to show that these tears should nave Decn sneti tor the bachelors Instead. The bachelor's the one to be pitied, not the maid. How often have we heard It said that the spinsters, some of them at least, cry out. os they we,nd their lonely way through life: "Anything, good Lord, will do," All of which Is a misconcep tion of the real state of affairs. Instead of the maid saying, "anything will do,' she Is clearly entitled by the over whelming argument of numbers, to say, "Let's see tne siock. it youve got nnythlng that suits, well and good; otherwise, take It away. For there are others." The census shows that there are In the United States, 0,720,770 bach' clors of marriageable age, and only 4.103.440 spinsters above the age of 20. Who's the Joke on If It Isn't' on the bachelor? There wouldn't fie enough of the fair sex to go around If the law required all men to be 30 before at lowed to marry and fixed the nge of girls at 17. Think of It, 2.531,333 men In this country who couldn't buy Eas ter bonnets for their wives If they wanted to, even after every maiden In the land bad wed. Just exactly that many women have, by the good offices of the census man, been translated from the unenviable class of those who "would but can't," to the ranks of the "can but won't" It has given a new dignity to the feminine unyoked, a new status to the unlinked lass. There are. It seems, one and three-fifths men for every woman, leaving out the widowers, who are sometimes as much given to mnrrlage as their never-mated brothers. For a decade, or more, girls can pick and choose, glean and garner, turn down right and left, play with many hearts with Impunity, while men are having a llfe-nnd-death bargain couuter scramble to get a wife before the supply gives out.

IMPOSSIBILITY or SOCIALISM. nr Nor. Dr. mill i, ot Hrmout. Clares. Oroollrn, Massing Individuals Into a compact body will never better our country. If we want n great State wo must have great Individuals. We can never got n great republic out of n compnny of vngrnuts, rowdies, people who nre willing that others should work for them. That Is why socialism la ouo of the great evils threnteiilug our na tion to-dny. Its growing strength Is It has elected four Mayors In New Kn- gland nnd unless check Is put upon It It will elect forty In the near future. It Is a trust which paralyses the Indi vidual far more thnn the other trusts which weigh ngalust the country's Interests. It divides up until what Is par celed out Is unsatisfactory to nil who have a share In tho division. Sumwso there nro forty houses In n block, nud Instead of ench man owning one for himself nud keeping It In order ench ninn owns one-fortieth of the house ho lives lu ami oue-fortleth of ciuh of the others.

Br Mil Tapper nrnrd. "If a man has got enough ahead to go to a hos pital when he Is sick he Is a fool to get married." said a man who had learned wisdom from experi ence. Most men would, without being sure of the hospital, leave them-elvos even tu slckuess to the mercy of the landlady rather thnn marry, It they believed that ibe woman was taking ac count of stock In this business like fashion. It Is a marvelous thlug that sentiment holds Its own at nil lu the face ot the trcnuudous pressure put upon It to surrender to financial expediency. Vet It does hold Its own to nn extent which makes this cold-blooded slander Inrgely uncalled for. Couinierc.al marriages ixlst they are not n matter of course. Among the parasite class of women, the Idle, helpless daughters of wealthy or burdened daughters of wealthy or burdened men. only good fortune can save a woman from thinking of marriage as a change of bankers which must be prudently consldend. Thank heaven all women are not parasites. The majori ty of husbands are poor men on an Income so small that the women who marry them will not be unduly tempted by dazzling perquisites. The "home" may tempt, but It will be the sentiment of home and not Its upholstery. The op portunity to work bard for board and clothes would be available without selling oneself for the privilege. , The shoe of existing Industry p'nehes chiefly for the poor In the uncertainty of continued employment, and hence among the more prudent sentiment and mnrrlage sometimes are denied for conscience sake. Whatever the station In t life, the commercial side of marriage sooner or late makes Its appearance, no matter how the Indlvldunl may seek to free himself or herself from It The Independent working woman Is Ibe greatest safe guard against the mercenary marriage.

Classed aa One of the HanJsouiest Vladncts In the World. Some engineers think the Kctten suspension bridge at Buda-Pestb Is the finest viaduct In existence. It does not begin to be as big as the Brooklyn bridge, but In symmetry. In masslvc- ness, in artistic adornment the one Unking Duda and Pestb Is a beauty. It cost 13.000,000 and was completed In IBM. That for Brooklyn was modeled from this one. and was built twenty years afterward. A cantilever viaduct Is the latest thing to make another which they rested.
