MARRIAGE BY SaLVATIOnTSTS. The Sc >0 Is In the Interest of Both Reogion »ni Morality. Tbe Salvation Army has carious ways of ils own for setting on. But for its great success liicse vva>s might be ridiculed and e\<u condemned as they were at hrst. Kidicule. however, has inussed into appreciation and the methods of tbe army are now' studied by sociologists and philanthropist* to

good advantage.

'Hie frequent marriages among the members of the arm., have been a subject of comment. It has seemed as if the institution were a veritable matchmaker, caring quiie as much for things iu this world as for ihoso in the next. The Army has what might be termed a school of courtship, pre sided over by u colonel and his wife, each of whom holds classes on set days and gives :alks on the responsibilities of marriage. Anil why not? Many of these people tiro drawn from the shuns and from the most Ignorant classes. They have little appreciation of the riVlpousihilities of life and the significance of the family relation. Anything that w ill toud to a better sense of marrjage and domestic duties is to be commended. The Salvationists know that nothing conduces more to morality than health ful. happy marriage, and they make a 1 specialty of it, so to speak—not lor the sake of matchmaking or for the fun of the thing, bat to promote mo:

ality and religion.

Common sense leads the Army to note these facts and go to work in regard to it in a businesslike way; to give instruction as to the meaning of marriage its duties and respondh Hies, ita pitfalls, its illusions, as Well as its joys and safeguards. It is singular and reflects on our civilization that although marriage is Hie niosi important relation ii|xin which man ran enter, it is one to which little attention is given by way of study and preparation. It has been thought that somehow these things take care of themselvi s Tbe fallacy of such reaKonlng, or want of it. is seen too often in tho results, especially those which show up in divorce courts. It is not necessary to agree with Felix Adler and hold that liappiues* is not the object of marriage, but it is desirable to understand will that marriage meatis something else than tmalloved bliss. The Salvationists an doing tbcif part toward making th< matter cleat and it would be well i' all other re!:.: i.is organi/.ations were equally efficient.—Chicago Chronicle Ten M llion at Pauper Line. “Ten rr.'.iiiy. people are n :ir the pauper lino in the ITtited Slates."

“Thi ^e people are unable to earn I enough to get the necessltb t of lift i and tuaiiita.n piivsic^i efficiency. T1m > are depende:.t to a . renter or It ss de-

gree upon charity.

••The fact that ten million people are in this condition now iu fuitl' prosperous time is appalling for the future Of these seven mi’ lion work vvhen thej can get If. but they are living on wage- which will barely support them when they are at work, and any slignt misfortune makes them d'-pcndtiit upon cliarity. Children to tho number of 3.300.000, arc included in tln.->e figures.” t Hoben Treat Paine, the Boston phi!- | anthropist, tal es issue with Mr. Hunter. and says that he cun hardly believe there are as many paupers ns Jrtr. Hunter declares.

The Papal Flag. Tiicifepu; flag is comparatively un fatnilidf trou-ide of tbe Eternal Citv. The war flag of the defunct empo.al power of the Pope was wb * and in its center stood figures of .-it. Peter and SL Paul, with the cro. keys and tiara above them. The flag of the merchant ships owned by the subjects of the States of the Church is a curious combination, half yellow- and hall white, with the design of the crosc- j keys aud the white. In the banner used by tbe Crusader King of .lerusn- • fetu. Godfrey the only tinctures introduced were the two metals, gold and Hirer, five golden crosses being placed upon a silver field. This was done with tbe intention of malting the device unique, as In all other cases it is deemed false heraldry to place metal on metal - t' lieago Journal. Hugo's Five-Legged Trousers.

ON THE PARIS BOULEVARDS.

An Extraordinary and %o(mopelltan Procession. The crow As that »it before the l . ris cafes on pleasant revnintu are solicited to buy a great variety of p.oveltiee by sidewalks peddlers. Acrobats appear at short intervals Mint do their tricks ou carpets laid on ibe sidewalks quite as they did in the days of Quasimodo. Newsboys (who are always croupy men. and t.ever boysl thrust before the irils sojourners at the outdoor lahles poles to which folded copies of the evetilag papers are fastened, showing the name headings, while they niter raucous chatit, “l-a Pa trie!" "La Presse!” Now and then an outlai der passe# In his native garb—an Algerian. * Turk, a Hindu, a Mexican, a Buffalo Hill Indian, a prince from Dahomey but nobody utters a note of surprise. 'the genuine boulevardier betrays no admission of wonder. He is as stoical as an American aboriginal. Sensational women glide by with a panther tread each advertising aome personal charm by unique shape of dress or choice of ornament. Their fates are buried fn point, like Impressionist pictures. Numerous are children offering some popular delIcacy for sale in baskets. It is what v *■ call hazelnuts, only green and In the burr. The bonlevardiers shuck them aud e.it them unripe Th< re is a low pitched melange of voire#, but you detect no one indiviilu.i! speech t sc'-pt as now and then a smiling pair of men stride by. or a vivacious couple and the ever familiar twang vibrates with the utterance of Kansas City or Chicago. Firgt Aid to the Injured. Fainting is a loss of consciousness due to the diminution of blood supply to the brain. It occurs most frequently in vycak, sensitive women, but may alro occur to men as well. It usually occurs in crowds, or in crowded hall#, theaters and churches, where the atniosphcre is dose and the air foul. Painting usually lasts only a fevv minutes and the person recovers immediately when taken out into the fresh air; however, there are cases where it lasts much longer, sometimes for an hour or more. The first ..id treatment for fainting is usually very simple. Take the person out into the fresh air, lay them flat on Uj. ii back, with the head lower than the feet. This can be done by grasping the feet and holding the body so that the head hangs down, or take an ordinary straight back chair, turn it over so that the back forms an angle with the floor and place the person on life back of the chair, with the lit .id hanging down. This position with tbe head hanging down favors the (low of the blood back to the brain All tight ciothiug about tin* neck and waist should be unloosened. Smelling salts or aromatic spirits of ammonia applied to the nostrils, cold water sprinkled on the face, chest and hands, helps to bring the person to—Dr. H. H. Hartung, in National Magazine.

Trade in Reptiles. The trade in snske skins does not at first thought suggeai Itself as one requiring large capital or very complicated organization, at least in this country But in the far East things an* different. The Java Reptile Skin Company has been incorporated In the island of that name, with a capital of $40,000. Branches will be established in a number of places throughout the island, where live snakes will be purchased from native hunters, Great stress is placed upon buying the reptiles alive, since the si;in is much more valuable if the snake is skinned while it is yet living, Live snakes 12 to 18 feet in length bring good prices, while dead snakes arp a drug on the mirket. The woman who wears with pride a handsome snake-skin card case will probably not give o thought to tho fact that the material was stripped from a living snake. Ever since the episode in Eden some few thousands of years ago snakes have apparently had no right to having their feelings considered.

• OUT-OF-SORTS.”

A Printer’s Trade Term, The Origin Of Which Is Not Generally Known. In a printing office they sometimes, ! n setting up a large amount of type, use up nil their supply of a certain letter. Extra letters are known as "sorts”, and when a printer is "out of sorts” II means that he is not In a very amiable mood; the expression is often used by those who have no idea of its origin Lncle Josh has lately received a copy of a rural paper published in Kansas, in which the follow-

ing statement appears:
