Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE Copyright, 1908, by Edwin A.Nye

TRUE MARRIAGE. Said my young friend: "I tell you It requires a brave man or woman to get married nowadays." MWby?" "Lock at tbe divorce courts! Note tot articles running in tbe magazines, such aa 'Why I Left My Husband,' or 'Why My Wife Left Me,' or Tbree Weeks Married and Out.' and so on." Does look dangerous. But Ton must remember tbe story of a happy marriage is not "news." It is only tbe failures tbat are "played up" by the newspapers and exploited in magazine articles. In tbe first place I believe tbe average person expects too much from marriage. Do not fancy tbat tbe state of matrimony Is the New Jerusalem let down out of heaven. If you do you will be disappointed. And, for that matterDid you ever have any experience of pleasure, long dwelt upon, tbat came up to your expectations? Does anything of that sort "pan out" according to anticipation? Marriage Is no exception to the rale of things human. Marring means adjustment. When two persons begin to live with each other they discover tbat each mast give up something. There must be in the household tbe two bears tbe old woman spoke of bear and forbear. Tou may be happy though married. Bearing each other's burdens, forbearing each other lo love, letting each

day take care of its own problems, not expecting too much, bravely facing tbe

future that la the plain way to marl tal harmony. "What about love?" you say.

Tbat is first of all. of course. But

.love, mind you love tested by mar

riage Is much more than sentiment

and kisses.

Real love, the love that abides, It

long suffering and kind, seeketh not Its own. Love Is devotion. Love is self sacrifice. Love Is great respect for tbe other self. AndIn true marriage you will discover that ten years from your wedding day your devotion toward, your greut respect for. your high affection for. your loved one is teu times greater. And so on through tbe years.

Fashion In Names. A reaction is taking place from the Marjories and Gladyses and Irenes of tbe lest twenty or thirty years. Nowadays aa often as not such grand prefixes as these are tbe peculiar property of tbe servants' hall, white the good old faabloned names of Miss Austen's days are returning to favor. The same holds good In a lesser degree where men are concerned, nod It is a relief after being fed up with Lancelot and Erie and Vere to find friends and relations willing to go back to the Henry.

This Js My 48th Birthday

Safe Crossings.

Right now seems a very good time for the council, the mayor and the board of works to consider the grade crossing. Only one thing keeps it from being all that we could wish for. Mr. Nettleton Neff who represents the Pennsylvania Railroad in Richmond is about to leave. His successor will not be familiar, as he is with the local situation, the temper of the people and the way in which things are looked at and accomplished. From that, point of view we wish that Mr. Neff might have the handling of the grade crossing problem in Richmond. But if this is taken up right now his successor will commence his stay in Richmond on January 1, knowing from the first that the people of this town want safe crossings.

Some negotiations are already going on between Mr. Neff and the city with the view of making crossings safer. Arc lights and gongs and the like are proposed. We can say in advance without any heat, what everyone must realize, that in the long run these must be considered mere temporary makeshifts. We should rather look at this from the viewpoint that Richmond and its railways are both permanent institutions and investments. Richmond will be here a hundred years from now and as far as we can see the Pennsylvania railroad is not likely to have to discontinue its advertising slogan of "Look At The Map." It will cost more live years from now than it will today to straighten this all out. The Pennsylvania Railroad is the most reliable and progressive of the railways in the country. It is always looking ahead and planning far in advance. Its attention at this time la directed toward the portion of the country in which Richmond is an important railroad center. Millions of dollars are being put in between here and Indianapolis. And all this time no accurate data has been accumulated here on the attitude of the Pennsylvania Railroad toward Richmond. We have simply accepted it and paid our freight bills and gotten into an occasional squabble over this and that. All this time Richmond has grown as a railroad center. It seems to us that now is the time for the city of Richmond to begin a constructive and progressive policy toward all the public service corporations with which it is dealing and in the case of the Pennsylvania railroad what is most needed is accurate data. Mr. Neff is, we understand, already communicating with the Pennsylvania in regard to track elevation and grade crossings. When this information is received we hope that it will be complete and well developed. We have reason to believe that the company knows approximately what the expense would be and that if this information is taken as a basis the city can shape its policy now for some years in advance. .The changing of the grade of the yards in the heart of Richmond is no light undertaking. If the grade were changed how much would it have to be changed and how much would the city have to depress its streets ? For what distance would the yards and tracks have to be raised? Would it be cheaper to raise the grades of the streets and throw overhead roadways across the tracks? Could the present yards be altered in shape so that the expense would be decreased? What would be the expense of erecting a substantial bridge over 12th and 8th streets? How soon could the Pennsylvania effect any one of these various things? And then, after this information had been accumulated and digested the city can come forward with its preferences and the eventual compromise be made. The time is here for the investigation of the work done in other cities. Information ought to be gathered from such sources as the Survey and Railroad commissions both of this state and others. This grade crossing feeling in Richmond is not a mere outgrowth of the accident which occurred at the 12th street crossing in Richmond last summer. The demand for a safe crossings has always existed but it has remained stuck in the throats of a great many men who are too tired at night from their work which lies across these very tracks. They have depended on their employers and city officials for action which has been very slow in coning. We firmly believe that this subject is one which the Pennsylvania Railroad will take under careful consideration if it is approached with all the fortes which this city could swing into action signifying that the people here really want it placed before them in every aspect with the idea of making the crossings safe for the many citizens who cross and recross. Mayor Zimmerman as the mayor of the city has done well in coming to the front as have the other city officials. We have confidence in Mr. Charles' ability to look after the city's side of this formidable engineering task. But, moreover, we have the greatest confidence in the growing tendency of all the citizens here to take up a public measure and to consider all the facts in the case. Mr. Neff can tell his company that the people here are impatient only with those public service companies which are secretive and treacherous and which have no real conception of public service. Mr. Neff can also tell his company as witnessed by the new station in New York and the improvements between here and Indianapolis not to overlook the many minor improvements between here and Cincinnati as conclusive evidence of a desire to meet Just such a situation as this case presents. For the people of Richmond are very patient with those who give them a square deal.

A STRANGE PLANT.

The Drinking Orchid and Its Fruitless Search For Water. "The strangest orchids I ever saw," said a naturalist, "live on the edge of a lugoon on the ltio de la Plata live,' 1 say. for surely uo animal is more alive than they, and among them I first realized the pathos of a plant's immobility, the cruelty of its roots that biud it forever to one spot. "These orchids had each at the center or axis a long stein a half inch wide and n quarter inch thick. They grew on dead limbs overhanging the lagoon, and now and then when in need of water they uncoiled their axial .stems, lowered them three or four feet to the stream and when enough water had been drunk coiled the stems up again as a tape measure coils up on its spool. "A strange sight that still and tropical afternoon a silent, sun drenched lagoon, a scarlet blaze of orchids and here and there those slim, supple tubes descending to driuk. satisfying themselves, then coiliijg up again. "But what impressed me most was a mass of faded orchids that continually and restlessly let down their tubes in vain, for the stream had fallen, and hence the tubes descended upon dry ground. It was pitiful. The orchids were dying, but with what strength was left to them they lowered and drew up their tubes. They felt feverishly and weakly for the water that wasn't there. "A sad sight a sight that brought home the pathos of the immobility of olants:" Exchange.

PIETRO MASCAGNI.

Pletro Mascagni, the celebrated com

poser, was born in Leghorn, Italy, December 7, 1863. His origin is humble In the extreme, and he owes all his success to his own efforts and his own genius. His father was a maker who Intended his son to follow one of the learned professions. Even as a child, however, his inclination toward music was evident, and while a lad he began composing. Me was encouraged by an uncle, who sent the boy to the Milan Conservatoire. Young Mascagni, however, did not take to the restrictions of study and soon left the "schools to join a traveling opera company. For some years thereafter be led a wandering, careless existence, and made very little headway. In 1886 however, he married and settled down, and devoted himself to the teaching of music. Then he wrote "Cavalleria Rostlcana." and at once became famous. The opera luuv: been performed In Italian, Oeman.-French. English

The air we breathe, the food we eat, the liquids ire drink, all pass through it. It is very easily affected by cold, strain, exposure, etc., and Sore Throat is therefore one of Our most common ailments. Strangely enough, it is also one of the most neglected. Sore Throat is a very serious matter, for the whole system is in danger in consequence of it. Every Sore Throat patient is a candidate for Ton&ilitis, Quinsy, Diphtheria ano other serious or fatal diseases, all of which can be prevented by the timet v cure of the Sore Throat by the use of TONSILINE. If taken in time a dose or two will do it. TONSILINE is made to cure throat diseases and nothing else. It is the one remedy for this purpose sold largely in the United States.

The one most important thing to remember about TONSILINE is the fact that it really does cure Sore Throat. 25 cents and 50 cents. Hospital Size $1.00. All Druggists.

Save the Babies. INFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that of all the children born in civilized countries, twenty-two per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year ; thirty -eeven Eoent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and ons-hslf before 7 are fifteen I We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a. majority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity, they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of Cbas. H. Fletcher. Castoria
