Most people have their weak spots.
Few are roundly normal. .Some slap
their friends on the back, some whistle
la public places, some keep barking
dogs, some speak monologues and think
they are "conversing" and so on, but
there is some hope for a tendency or a
habit that Is not deliberately designed
to be mischievous, such as the playing
of pranks on newly married people.
These Jocular outbreaks have under
gone various "refinements" and they
have now reached the point where a
honeymoon voyage has been anticipated
by a "bill of particulars" printed In
circular form and distributed among
the passengers of the ocean liner. The
discouraging thing is that the propen
sity does not "refine" itself out of ex
istence. It Is, generally speaking, as
perverse In Its latter day manifesta
tions as it was when the uncouth but
equally well-meaning country folks sur
rounded the house of the bashful bride
and groom on their wedding night and
made the time hideous with the beating
of pans and old, copper boilers with
what was called a "belling."
"It would therefore seem well, from
this point of view, to encourage early
trial marriage, the relation to be eu
tered Into with a view to permanency,
but with the privilege of breaking it if
proved unsuccessful, and, in the absence
of offspring, without suffering any
great degree of public condemnation,"
Mrs. Elsie Clews Parsons, a doctor of
philosophy, for six years' a lecturer on
ociology in Barnard College, daughter
of a rich banker and wife of a Con
fressinan, proposes this "startling re
form" in a book, "The Family," Just I
lued. "Trial marriage" certainly sounds
lensational. But as prosaic matter o,f
fact, the commonness, cheapness and
respectability of divorce has rendered
111 marriage "trial marriage." "It la
difficult to Imagine greater facintj la
the annulment of marriage than now
obtains in most of the States. No
"reform" is necessary to bring about j
precisely the condition. In effect, which
Mrs. Parsons proposes. The reform is
needed in the other direction. We
need to get rid of the feeling that mar
riage is a mere experiment Of course,
all couples at the time of marriage
expect to live happily ever after. Trial
marriage could mean nothing to them
at that time. People who do not feel,
for the time at least, that they can
take each other for life need no "trial"
to prove they are not fitted. The ab
sence of offspring during "trial" would
be a powerful cause of failure In many
marriages that might otherwise have
been successful. But that would be
nothing new. It is the case now and
always has been. Until there are chil
dren to tie the heartstrings together
there is no real trial of marriage. We
are too apt to forget that most of the
laws which operate toward successful
marriage are provided by Nature.
Human statutes provide for failure
and, alas! there are too many of them
already.
The coroner who investigated the
wreck on the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road near Woodville, Ind., In which
sixty-one Uvea were lost made a report
in which he fixes the blame in the
most positive manner. He finds that
the engineer of the first section of the
passenger train did not properly give
the required signals and note the re
sponses to them. Consequently he Is to
be held to the grand Jury for man
slaughter. But beyond that the system
by which the road was operated provid
ed no check for any such individual
neglect as that of which the engineer
was guilty, and consequently part of
the blame was placed by the coroner
upon the road Itself. There was ""a
time when it would have been unrea
sonable to ask railroads to Install elab
orate systems for the safeguarding of
their trains, because the traffic was too
light to Justify the financial burden,
and so light Indeed that the evil was
not great In those days when a wreck
of this character occurred all the blame
was properly to be attributed to the
guilty employe. Now, on many of the
roads which do the heaviest business,
the burden has shifted so that It is a
question whether the employe immedi
ately at fault is more to blame or
whether the greatest responsibility
falls upon his superiors who left the
door open to his carelessness. Before
long a time will come when the great
weight of the burden will be trans
ferred to the shoulders of the railway
administration, if Indeed that time has
not come Already. It Is purely a ques
tion of danger versus cash. The meth
ods of making such accidents as that
at Woodville impossible are well
known. Some form of the block sys
tem, especially the form which uses the
"staff" as an entrance key to each
block, would reduce the ordinary em
ploye's fallibility to a minimum. The
Woodville accident Is simply one more
reason-or, better said, It is sixty-one
more reasons why the railroad com
panies should be required to spend the
dollars which will save the lives. "

"I can always tell when I am get

traveling man. "When I am away
out In the country districts visiting
the small towns the sight of a real
blonde is rare. The hair of the ma

or red head on the streets. Their
hair Is often arranged becomingly, but
never with a Marcel wave. Their com

GRANDFATHER.
How broad and deep was the fireplace old
And the great hearthstone how wide !
There was always room for the old man's
chair
By the cozy chimney side,
ind all the children that cared to crowd
At his knee in the evening tide.
Room for ail of the homeless ones
Who had nowhere else to go;
rbey might bask at ease in the grateful
warmth
And sun in the cheerful glow,
For grandfather's heart was as wide and
warm
As the old fireplace, I know.
And he always found at bis well-spread
board
Just room for another chair;
rhere was always rest for another bead
On the pillow of hig care ;
There was always place for another name
In his trustful morning prayer. .
Oh, crowded world with your Jostling
tnrongs!
How narrow von trow and sml) :
How cold, like a shadow across the heart,
lour selfishness aeema to fail.
When I think of that fireplace warm and
wide,
And the welcome awaiting all.

In Upset Land
S believe that none of you have pa
rents so troublesome as mine. I
am sure that It Is not my fault,
for I do everything In my power to
make life easy and comfortable for
them. But I don't ask you to take my
opinion of them. I'll simply tell you
my story, and you may Judge for your
selves whether or not I am unjust I
don't intend to exaggerate, only to re
late to you the events of an average
day, so that you may understand what
I have to go through with, about 305
times a year.
Take last Wednesday, for Instance.
Of course you know that our debatlng-
club meets Tuesday nights, and when
a fellow has the affirmative of such a
question as, "Resolved, That Circuses
Ought to Be Furnished Free of Charge
MOTHER WAS CRYING BITT
to the Citizens and Paid for by the
Government," it is something of a
strain on the mind to make a good ar
gument Consequently I was late to
breakfast next morning. Now, I don't
say It is right to be late to breakfast
as a regular thing, trat I do say that
there should be such a thing as Justlj
flable tardiness, and that my case came
under that head.
Well, what was the result? First
there was mother. She was crying
bitterly when I came down.
"I do think," she said, between her
sobs, "that you might have some con
sideration for your parents, Alphonso.
Here it is half-past 10 o'clock and the
parlor has to be dusted, the dishes to
be washed, the baking to be done, and
I don't know what!"
Then my father began.
"And here I've been waiting an, hour
for you to say good-bye to me," he
complained. "You know perfectly well
that I ought to be at the office earlier
than this 1" .
"I know It father, dear," I replied
soothingly. "But you needn't have
waited for me."
"But I can't find any of my papers,"
he said In a most Irritating whine.
"Where did you leave them?" I asked
calmly.
"I'm sure I don't remember,' he said
despairingly.
"If you would only be system
atic " I suggested as delicately as I
could, but he. Interrupted me.
'There you go again!" he said, any
thing but politely, I must confess.
"You are always telling me to be 'sys
tematic and orderly,' until I Just hate
the sound of those horrid words!" ,
"Come, papa," I said, a little more
severely than I had yet spoken. "You
ought not to be so snappish.' I spoke
only for your own goodf What Is that
bundle I see under the sofa pillow?"
"I don't know," he answered, sul
lenly, and not even looking towards
the place. .
"I suspect that It Is the missing pa
pers," I said. "Don't you think you
might go aud see?"
He went on, unwillingly enough. Of
course, It proved to be the very' thing
he wanted.
I don't see how they came there,"
he mumbled. . ' '
"Probably they went and hid there
by themselves," I remarked with a lit
tle sarcasm. . " .
"Maybe your mother put them there,"
laid my father.
"I didn't!" she replied, sharply.
"You did, tool" he Insisted. ..'
ul never!" she said, firmly. . "
"I kuow you must have!" he went
n.
"I did not I And you know I didn't

Here I felt that I must Interfere.

o this disgraceful talk 1 Father, I'm
ashamed of you ! " The idea of speaking
so v to your own wife. 'Mother, you
should know better than to answer him
when he says such things !"
I finally bade him good-bye, called
him back to get his papers, which he
was leaving at home, and .at last saw
him off. , '
"Now," said my mother. "I hope we
shall have a little rest! Men are so
fussy about the' house!"
"I think that is hardly a proper
way to speak," I objected. "Don't say
things that you might be sorry for.
Suppose anything should happen to
papa, how you would regret your care
less, heartless words !" ;
"I didn't mean any harm," said my
mother, beginning to whimper again.
'There, don't cry," I said, hastily.
"You are so sensitive; the least thing
sets you to fretting. Dry your eyes,
and set about the housework I"
She took up the duster and went to
work reluctantly enough. But as she
went on she became Interested and
soon I beard her bumming a little tune
to herself as she went about the parlor
polishing the what-nots and making all
the little bric-a-brac as neat as pins.
"Now, I'll Just get away to school
before there's another trouble," I re
marked, and I left the house compar
atively cheerful, though a little vexed
at the thoughtlessness of my parents.
When I came home to luncheon, I found
that the table was not even set '
"How is this, mother?" I asked. I
was disturbed, but I resolved not to
blame her unless she were really at
fault -
"The cook has gone away," she re
plied, sitting 'with her apron to her
eyes. I had found my mother In the
kitchen. '
"Indeed!" I remarked. "Why was
that?" ,
"It's her day out" said my mother
disconsolately.
"Oh, is that all?" I exclaimed, much
relieved; "I was afraid it was some
thing serious."
"Is that all?" repeated my mother.
"Yes; that's all. And It's enough, too!"
"It isn't polite to repeat my words
over In that way," I reminded her,
"but as I see you are not in a very

about that now. Can't you let me have
some luncheon?"
"There Isn't a thing in the house,"
she replied helplessly.
"Not a thing in the house !" I repeat
ed in surprise.
"There !" my mother retorted, "who's
repeating things now? You just said
It wasn't polite!"
This rather nettled me, 1 admit
' "No matter," I said sternly, "why
Isn't there anything in the house?"
"I forgot" she said, slowly.
"You forgot!" said I, reproachfully.
"Do I forget to go to school and to
get an education to do honor -to my
parents? What would you do If I for
got?" -V ..; '; i .;,
"I don't know," said my mother, In
a very low tone. , .
"No, of course you don't know," I
said, not unkindly, for I saw she re
pented of her fault "Never ' mind.
Let it go. I dare say you will remem
ber next time."
t When I returned home in the even
ing I found that her good temper was
entirely restored, so I said nothing
about the little misbehavior of the
morning.' Until after dinner nothing
occurred to disturb the serenity of our
home. I was busy over some difficult
problems In compound Interest a most
Interesting and delightful subject so
I was very willing to give my father
permission to pass the evening at a
friend's house.
- At about 9 o'clock he returned In a
peevish mood.
"I don't see why we can't have
things as nice as the Quinns do!" he
said, discontentedly, as he came in and
threw his overcoat upon the sofa and
put his high hat upon the table just
where It chst a heavy shadow upon my
papers; ; . . v . ' .
"Probably," I rejoined, "It Is because
Mr. Qulnn when he comes home at
night hangs his overcoat neatly upon
the rack and puts his hat where it
belongs!"
"Hang it ! I'm tired," exclaimed my
father. -
"No," I replied firmly, "I shall not
'hang If but you can take your hat
and your great coat and bang them
where they belong." V :. ?
"But I-
he began.
"Go at once!" I said In a tone that
admitted of no delay, "or you shall go
to bed,' sir!" ; v ;;
Then he went As he came back,
somewhat subdued, I Inquired:
Now, father; I should like to know
in whas respect you think the Quinns'
home so superior to our own?" -
"Well," he' answered, rather unwill
ingly, "Johnny Qulna lets his father
sit up until 11 o'clock."
"Indeed!" I said. "And would you
like to look like Mr. Qulnn?"
"What's the . matter with Mr.
Qulnn?" asked my father, sulkily.
"Come, you must not use slang," I
said. "You know very well that Mr.
Qulnn Is thin and pale and anything
but strong, while you are rosy and
bright and ready for your work."
"But it's all work, and 'all work and
no recreation makes Jack's father a
dull man' you know the proverb,"
said my father in a whining tone.
"Nonsense!" I answered, laughing.
"Remember the other proverb : 'Early
to. bed now like a good business man
father win the prize.' Come, father, go
to bed now like a good business man
and let me hear no more of these fool
ish Quinns. I do the best I can for
mother and for you, and you must try
to do me credit"
They seemed sorry for their ill-humor
during the day and kissed me
good-night affectionately.
After I bad .finished my -problems I
made up my mind to write out this
account of my day's experience, so
that other parents may see how much
trouble they may thoughtlessly cause
their children. I could not help think
ing as' I shut up the house and went
to bed myself what a queer world it
would be if children should act toward
their parents with as little considera
tion as my parents show toward me.

RIGHT KIND OF EXERCISE.
Some Practical Advice" that Everyone
p Should Have.
The kind of exercise that lilts the
mark is the kind a man likes for Its
own Bake; and the kind a man likes
for its oyn sake has something of the
play spirit In It the life and go of a
good game. The good a man gets out
of a good horseback ride in the park is
something more than what comes sim
ply from the activity of bis muscular
system or from the effect of the con
stant jolting upon the digestive organs.
There is the stimulus to the whole sys
tem which comes from his filling his
iungs with fresh, out-of-door air. There
Is the exhilaration of sunshine and blue
sky and of the wind on the skin. There
Is the excitement of controlling a rest
ive animal. All this makes the phe
nomenon a complex ' one something
much larger than the mere term exer
cise would Imply. A man could sit on
a. mechanical horse In a gymnasium
and be jolted all day without getting
any of these larger effects.
The best forms of exercise will call
the big muscles of the body Into play
the muscles that do the work. This
gives bulk effects. It reaches the whole
system. Playing scales on the piano,
though exhausting to oneself and oth
ers, does not belong to this class.
Exercise should not be too severe.
Many ambitious people injure them
selves through trying to accomplish too
much along this line. Where the mind
la already tired the body can only lose
by a few moments of vlofent exertion.
Exercise breaks down tissue, exhausts
nerve energy. If any good Is to be
gained from It this body waste must
be repaired. But when the system Is
already exhausted, it cannot afford an
additional -expenditure. A city man
with a conscience is in danger of mak
ing too hard work of his exercise when
ho takes it at all. World's Work.

For years the agricultural production
of the United States has beeii steadily
Increasing and during the last three or
four years this Increase has been by
leaps and bounds. Last year it was

000,000 for 1904 and $4,480,000,000 for
This enormous production has called
forth many pessimistic statements. We
have been repeatedly told that such a
pace could not long be maintained ; that
diminished yields and agricultural de

reached its highest point in 1905, but

It is hard to make a nomadic Arab
believe that a white man can by any
possibility know anything about the
desert especially so to persuade him
that the lines and letters pn the trav
eler's map convey any accurate inform
matlon' which will guide . him on hla
way. Interpretation of these mystic
symbols, says the biographer of Henry
Clay Trumbull, gained " that famous
mission worker something of the repu
tation of a magician when he went' to
find Kadesh-Barnea, the "place where
the people of Israel, rebelled against
Moses.- ' " ,.,...t :v
'Ayn Qadees was the. modern name
of the place he sought'' When he asked
his Arabs If they could lead him thith
er) they Steadfastly maintained that
they had never heard of it
"Oh, well," said Mr. Trumbull, know
ing, what pride the Bedouin, has in his
knowledge of the desert, "the trouble la
you don't know your own country as
well as J know It We ought to change
places. You give me bakshish and I
will show you the country.
"To-morrow morning we will go to
'Ayn Muwayleh. We will go past that
Then we will turn off from the track
to the right ;, We will go down that
way about one hour. There we will "find
one, two, three wells. Beyond them
will be flags and rushes growing. Then
a little farther on we shall, find more
wells. That Is Qadees. You don't
know it but I do. Give me bakshish
and I'll show it to you."
There was consternation among the
Arabs. They discussed the matter ex
citedly. Then their spokesman cama
; "Mr. Trombool, he said, "It tell you
now' the true, honor bright They tell
me true now on' the Koran.' They know
that, place you tell them, bulj.they no
call.it that name. They no call that
Qadees. They call It Qasaymeh." ; 1
It flashed across Mr. Trumbull's i
mind that Bartlett, who had preceded ,
him and whose map he was following,
had been deceived-by the Arabs.
"Very well," he said. "But do they
know where Qadees'is if this Is not It?"
The spokesman knew yes, Indeed.
What is more, he knew there was no
use wasting time trying to fool a man
who could describe the desert paths as
this one could; so forthwith they turn
ed from the main road, and over a most
difficult trail made their way to a place
which, It was evident at a glance, was
what Mr. Trumbull sought, the place
