MARRIAGE REFORMS.
Advocated by University Professor
in Book Recently Issued.
I’lana Include State Supervision of All
Contracts and Liberul Divorce
Laws—Evils In the Social
Structure.
State supervision of all marriage
eontracts, uniform and liberal divorce
laws, the abolition of the common law
marriage and the education of the
young in sex problems are a few of the
reforms advocated in a new book
about to be Issued at the University
of Chicago.
The work, in three large volumes,
represents 12 years’ research work on
fee part of Dr. George Elliot Howard,
former head of the department of his
tory at the University of Nebraska,
and until recently occupying a similar
post at Leland Stanford, Jr., univer
sity. Prof. Howard is the most recent
addition to the staff of the lecture
division of the University of Chicago
"Our present dual system by whict
marriages may be solemnized by eith
er civil officers or clergymen, is not
the ideal plan,” says Prof. Howard.
"It is too complex and is an obstacle
In the way of the development of an
effective system of matrimonial legis
lation. It is awkward and thoroughly
Illogical to Intrust the execution of the
laws to two classes of persons; one
civil officers created by the state, the
other completely beyond such control.
The license system is also uncertain
and complex in many of its features.
“Radical reform in the admlnistrm
tlon of matrimonial ^gisiation is $
task for future l. „.Bitors. Every
county should be divided into districts,
for each of which a registrar should
be appointed to license, solemnize and
register all marriages civilly contract
ed therein and to license, register and
attend all religious celebrations ol
marriage.
“The lawmaker cannot reach th«
root of the divorce evil. It is planted
deeply In the social structure and is
tn a great measurs due to false senti
ment regarding marriage and the fam
ily, a sentiment which can only be
removed by more rational education.
Carefully drawn and uniform statutes
can, however, render conditions favor
able for the operation of this needed
social reform. We need new education
In the problems of sex and this in
struction should be given to the
young, not prudishly, but frankly, and
perhaps while the child is still in high
school.
“The fact that four of our states—
New York, Utah, California and Mis
s\3si ppl—have liberated themselves
by statutory enactments from the
common law marriage within the past
ten years Is of vast social Import and
’from It reformers may take courage.
Tn such legislation lies our hope of be
<ng able to free America from the
evils of the common law marriage.
“The trouble in a nutshell is that
there is less care exercised in the mat
ing of human beings than there is in
the breeding of fat stock. By exercis
ing care in contracting unions we shall
solve the so-called ‘divorce problem.' “
THE MYSTERY OF MEMORY.
A Postal Clerk’s Wonderful Feat
No Adequate Scientific Explana
tion of the Wonder,
The newspapers are telling of the re
markable feat of a postal elerlt who, in
a civil service examination, did not
make a single error In properly sorting
12,000 test postal cards, each represents
ing a post office In a certain territory as
signed. This was done at the rate of
13 1-3 cards a minute. Far more note
worthy is the memory of an expert pi
ano player, who will play an entire sea
ion’s concerts without a note of printed
music before him. His memory is so
oerfect that hundreds of thousands of
notes must be at the orderly and instant
disposal of the will. And this is com- 1
blned with a multiplicity of synchronous
recollections of timbre, tempo, expres
sion, etc.
The mystery is at present past the
hinting of any explanation, and this
fact Is as beautiful as it is appalling. It
shows us, declares American Medicine, :
how far we are from any real science of
psychology. Physicians note the
strange thrusting of disease among the
mechanisms of memory, the morbid ef
fects of some neoplasm or injury to parts
C|f the convolutions of the brain where
by some memories are lost temporarily
ok permanently, In part or completely,
wpile others are unaffected. Even this
lekves us in amazement at the Inscruta
ble complexity and methods of the tellu
lat machine.
But through these morbid Injuries
we catch tantalizing glimpses which
some day, properly studied and followed
up,\ may bring some psychologic physi
cian to an unraveling of the mystery.

REMARKABLE WEAPON.
■lewplpe Used by the Indian Sharp*
ahootera of Gniana Nicely
Contracted.
There are two kinds of blowpipes in
use among the Indians of Guiana. The
first, called the poocoona, is made of
the oorah reed. This remarkable reed
Is found in the Orinoco river only,
and then only at certain spots. The
oorah grows to a height of at least
80 feet, and the basal joint, of which
the blowpipe is made, is 14 or 15 feet
long, straight as an arrbw and without
a knot, says Longman’s Magazine.
The Inside of the reed is as smooth
as glass, hence the facility with which
the dart traverses it. Very little of
the reed is cut away, so that the pipe
is about 12 feet long, and is so strong
that when held horizontally there is not
the least bend in It.
The reed, having been carefully se
lected, cut and prepared, is inclosed
in a small, thin palm trunk, which is
split open for the purpose, scraped
thin as a wafer, and then rejoined with
the reed in the center. This palm, for
length, straightness and lightness, is as
remarkable as the reed. The whole pipe,
when finished, never weigh^more than
V/n or 1% pounds. Both the mouth, or
muzzle, and the breech are bell mouthed,
the bell pieces being fixed on.
There are front and back sights, the
latter formed of the curved teeth of the
dasyprocta acouchi, a species of rodent
somewhat larger in size than a
wild rabbit. Two of the insicors of
this animal are fixed on the breech of
pipe uj uican O Ul W Cl A. X lie ICC LU
being placed parallel to each other and
very close together, the §Ight Is taken
between them. Sometimes the fore
sight is made in the same way, but It
more often consists of the single sharp
tooth of a fish. It is placed about a
foot back from the muzzle, the back
sight being affixed four feet along the
tube, so that it is a considerable dis
tance from the eye when aiming. ,
The missile used with this tube Is
misnamed an arrow. It is really a
dartt scarcely larger than a large
darning needle, and with a point quite
as fine. The dart is made of the rib
of the coocooreete palm leaf, and is
so heavy that it will sink in water.
It is about seven Inches in length, not
thicker than a large needle, and the
usual number that an Indian carries
with him when shooting is from 350
to 500, ready poisoned, but not pre
pared with the necessary cotton plugs.
These darts are strung together
something like the reeds on which
soft cheeses are placed, and then rolled
on a stick and carried in a quiver,
points upmost, it being requisite to
protect them from every chance of
being broken or dulled. To protect
the hand when handling them the top
of the stick is furnished with a small,
wheel-like shield.
The fine points are given to the darts
by means of the teeth of the devilfish
(.serrasalmus pivava), and the cotton
with which they are plugged before
use is found growing wild. It is
bound to the base of a dart with
thread made of silk grass; this thread,
with wax obtained from several trees,
being largely used also In making the
blowpipe.
GROWTH OF INSANITY.
!■ the Large Cities It Is Increnslaa
and Experts Demand a
Change.
What change can be made in city life
to stop Its enormous production of in
sanity, yearly increasing?
Here is a question which is yet to be
solved, says the New York World. The
medical fraternity is at a loss for a gen
eral remedy; puzzled to find means of
overcoming the baneful effects of a
city’s activity on the general medical
condition. •
London produces 70 lunatics a week
and New York is almost as bad, and its
increase is greater proporionately. Ex
perts say that if it were not for the fact
that nature steps In and generally re
fuses to grant children after the fourth
or fifth generation conditions would be
Lai nuioc tuau iuc/ aic.
“The outlook for the future Is not
bright according to medical opinion, un
less the minds of the city people are bet
ter able within the next few generations
to adjust themselves to their progressive
complicated environment, unless bal
ancing interests and mental habits are
developed to overcome the unnatural
nervous tension of city life.
So complicated is the enviornment of
those who live in great towns, so many
ind so varied are the calls upon the
self-control and upon their effort-mak
ing powers, that their mental machin
ery is apt to become more complex, its
parts require more construction and ad
justment, and the whole machine Is
more apt to get out of gear and to suffer
derangement than Im the more primi
tive and less emotional life of even half
a century ago. It is not overwork that
\s the determining cause of the disturb
ance or mental equilibrium, but carking
care, worry and anxiety.
To the rich insanity is brought by in
dulgence in sensuous luxuries. To the
poor, who are at the mercy of every
economic crisis, whose financial circum
stances spell Indifferent nutrition, over
crowding and unmoral surroundings,
the condition of modern life bring de
pression and despair. The natural re
sult is that they attempt to drown their
sorrows in the flowing bowl. Alcohol is
the cause of one-fifth of the insanity in
males and of more than half of that in
the weaker sex.

GOVERNMENT BuES.
■«»r In sect* Belonging to the Agrft.
•ultnrnl Department Swarm
to Uarlut,
Doubtless the only members of ths
government’s gignatic force of em
ployes who goto work before nine o’clock
a. m. and continue toiling until sun
down are the Italian bees kept by the de
partment of agriculture. These, the
smallest of our domestic animals, are
kept by the department for experimental
purposes and for stocking its various
substations, says the Washington Post.
Some time ago these government bees
discovered that Center maket was a
far better pasture than the flower beds
and vegetable gardens of the depart
ment, and there they resort every day,
to no small discomfort and annoyance of
commission dealers, hucksters, gard
ners and restaurant proprietors, whose
stock in trade the industrious little in
sects prey upon.
In some cities the rats and mice are
troublesome, and in others crickets,
grain insects, and various other bugs
prey upon the perishables, but Center
market Is the only market in the United
States where the most serious pest Is the
Insects which belong to the government.
They eat holes in the peaches, poach on
the grapes, gather honey from cante
loupes, and are the first to find the soft
spots In pineapples' and bananas. What
Is more, there are about Center market
a number of open-air eating booths, tc
which the bees resort In large number*
to collect honey from various sweet
dishes, particularly apricot, appiea.
peach, prune and huckleberry pie. The
funny part of It all Is that the commis
sion dealers, fruit handlers and res
taurant keepers are afraid to offer any
opposition to their Intrusion for fear
the plucky little Insects will resent It.
Hardly a week passes that some one
does not get stung by the government
bees, who object to rough handling and
treatment. With the juice and wax
which they collect from apples, melons
peaches, oranges, pineapples, grapes,
bananas and pies In the market, thej
lay up their store of winter honey. The
only time the restaurant keepers are
able to even up with these little pests Is
when they have a batch of hot pies or
bread pudding on hand. They It hap
pens accasionally that some over-hasty
government bee gets his feet scorched.
In such cases they hover about the plea
until they have cooled off, now and then
alighting on the crust to test the tem
perature of the tempting bait.
NEGROES SANG AT WORK.
Aad Entertained French Opera Slur
era In the Streets of New
Orleans,
The French opera singers were specta
tors of a picturesque street scene anight
or two ago in the vicinity of the old
French opera house, says the New Or
leans Times-Demoerat. Bourbon street
was being paved with asphalt, and the
work was being hastened so as to have
that portion of the street near the opera
house accessible for carriages by th<
time of the opening of the French op
era season.
On this account an unusually large
force of workmen were engaged, and in
order to push the work to an early com
pletion the men worked at night, huge
torches being used. In one block, be
tween St Louis and Toulouse streets,
giore than 100 men were working.
Every one familiar with the negro
knows that, in so far as he is able, he
sets his work to music. It is a fact often
marveled at that the negro, when he is
singing or chanting in a sort of rhythmic
mood, works with more ardor than under
different conditions. And if an extra de
mand is made on the negro workman ht
lings or chants the louder.
The members of the French opera, or
at least many of them, heard for the first
timd the real melody of the negro voice
that night It was that swishful, poetic
thing caricatured In the ragtime of the
stage, a certain subtle, indefinable some
thing which no composer has ever been
able to fit to the well-measured octaves
of musical arrangements. It was the
tuneful, heaving call of the levee, th#
mellow sunset cry of the cotton fields.
The flaring torch, the bustling hither and
l 111 L lid , UilC 11CCl v J tail tuo uupvuicuvg
of toil—all those things gave exquisite
tone to the setting.
Parugaay Tea.
There comes from Paraguay to the
Journal of Tropical Medicine news of
in apparently harmless beverage which
Is the sole stay and stimulant of the
working classes in Paraguay and the
Argentine Republic. It is often known
as Paraguay tea or mate, and an at
tempt made to introduce it into this
country some years ago failed because
—as we may guess—there were more
potent competitors in the field. It is
usually drunk as a hot infusion, through
« metal tube, but may be taken like tea,
with milk and sugar. Workmen take it
with them wherever they go and sip it
occasionally. Wood cutters will work
on it for five or six hours before break
fast, and the writer declares that, taken
at night, it makes nursing, study or wbat
doctors call "night work” real pleasure.
Analysis does not explain these results,
and lifelong and persistent use appears
to have no evil consequences. This
would be a good substitute lor the num
berless patent medicines which supply
ilcohol to women, or even, in attaast
one familiar case, cocaine.—London
Chronicle.
