In the West, where men are in the ma- jority, the unmarried women are appealing for legislative tion against bachelors. In South Da- kota towns the spinsters have gone so far as to advocate the chloro- forming of bachelors over the age of forty and to pass resolutions that “all unmarried men are good for is to act.as pall-bearers.” E Simmultaneously come the statistical reports from various States that the percentage of births is diminishing and that the ratio of divorc Fp Feoognized occupation. The shifting of wives by rich husbands with Bi established percentages of compensation is so frequent that the sanction of the divorce courts is obtained as a perfunctory form. ry The news comes from Springfield of a further novelty in the matrimonial line. Not all husbands * who desire to shift wives are rich enough to provide 4 alimony sufficient to meke the wife agree to a legal } “separation. A Springfield woman wanted another woman's husband for her own, and overcame the obstacle of lack of means on the man’s, part by her- Self furnishing the money necessary to buy off the wife. No other country has such unfettered matri- monial customs as the United States. The girl and man arrange matters by themselves, the parents’ it being taken for granted. There is no re. ‘fo think it over. There is no restriction on the hours during which a pemMarriage ceremony may be performed. Clergymen sit up nights.with a hone connection to make marriage speedy and easy. i In France the consent of the parents has to be obtained before minors can marry. This insures that the business and social standing of the parties shall approximate and leads to the building up of more | Congenial households. In Engtond the performance of the marriage “ceremony is restricted to the daytime. Midnight marriages are pro- MeRibited. To marry persons in a state of semi-intoxication is illegal. Sentiment is necessary to make married life successful, but it is : or reliance as the sole foundation stone. An excess of sentiment be fore marriage almost always results in a reaction afterward, Pastor ior desire is the worst of all reasons for getting married. Under the free ‘ unhampered American system a preity face, a be coming dress or a sentimental evening results in m: rimony without proper consideration, which such 2 importent act should always involve. Paradoxical as it may seem, to make marria more difficult would probably make it more popula It certainly would make matrimony more successf and diminish the number of divorces.

No boy ever started life at worse Advantage than did this little pauper, John Rowlands. Few men have accomplished more. june 5, 1907. When he was thirteen Rowlands was set to teaching the younger chile dren of the place their lessons, and for three years continued this thankless task, Then, In 1857, when he was only sixteen, he found he could stand {the mise ¢, Uheventful life no longer. His spirit craved adventure, and there Js scant adventure In teaching the alphabet to poorhouse walfs. Rows lands had heard stories of America, the land of promise, beyond the seas, and resolved to try his luck in the newer country. He shipped as cabin boy, and landed in New Orleans, penniless, but with efough ambition to make }up for lack of cash. He looked for work, and attracted the notice of @ rich merchant named Stanley. The merchant adopted the lad and gave him his own name—Henry Morton Stanley—by which Rowlands ever afterward coye The youngster’s future seemed assured, But fate ordered it other wise. His benefactor died, leaving no will. The adopted son was thus left as badly off as when he first landed in America.

He wandered to Callfornia, visited various Indian tribes, and, in 1861, at the out In Civil War. {break of the Civil War, enlisted in the Confederate * army. He was soon taken prisoner. On his release he joined the United States navy, did gullant service and was promoted to the rank of ensign. But the ending of the war (in which he had bad the unusual experience of fighting on both sides) again threw him out of em. ployment. He drifted to the Levant as a newspaper correspondent, went to Abyssinia with Lord Naptfer in 1867, and won fame by sending back the news of the latter's brilliant victory ahead of the official reports. In 1869 his real career began. Some years earlier a great and good Englishman, Dr. David Livingstone, had gone to Africa as a missionary, | His task of penetrating unknown regions and establishing mission posts there gave Livingstone the taste for exploration. Africa in those days was indeed the “Dark” Continent. Much of its interior was wholly unexplored, Maps bore blank spaces representing thousands of mes of unknown African territory. Now and then some daring American or European woulg plunge into the jungle, never again to be dof. The geography of most of the “back country” was incorrectly c! ngstone had opened up many dist and at last embarked upon a far more extensive march then ever before. From time to time news of his progress reached the coast, Then all tidings ceased. In 1869 no word had been received cone g him for more than two years.

But bis tron li, b rm, unchangeable purpose could not be weakened by filnesa, » drove the party onward, past almost impassable difficulties. If he did not spare his men he surely did not spare himself, And, in November, after ong months of ceaseless marching, he came upon Dr. Livingstone at Ujiji, Jon Lake Tanganytka. |°" “Xhother man, winning co great a triumph, would probably have made some melodramatic speech of greeting to the object of his search. Bug Stanley calmly walked up to the missionary, bowed and said with polite indifference “Dr. Livingstone, I presume He and Livingstone made explorations together of Tanganyika Lake, and made other important dis overies. In 1874 Stanley went again to Africa, where he explored the equatorial lake region, was the firat man to sail clear around Nyanza (Lake) Victoria, and to prove {t the large.t tresh water body on earth; to trace the ‘ongo River from source to mouth, to chart Lakes Victoria and Albert, and to pre the latter to be « tributary of the Nile.
