phla wadding, tha other day. breams almost a riot. People fought for Mate; fought some more to lay hands on cot flowers, which they carried away as souvenirs, and the bride was tramped on by the admiring throng un/ll her costly dress was ruined. Then there lathe old shoe and rice and practical Joke series. must be endured by the newly wedded, because, forsooth, thsre are thousands of condemned idiots In the world- In New Brunswick ths guests danced about the wedding coach, the horaee ran away, the bride fainted and much property was destroyed before the frBntic animals were stopped. In Stratford, Ooan., some of the wedding guests threw rice at a newly wedded couple, others threw boots snd shoes, and still others threw bricks and paring stones. In New York there was so much goodnatured hilarity at a swell wedding that the.papers were impelled to publish a llt|Iot the injured after the crush. There was a Pittsburg case where k groom was stolen from bis bride snd paraded in an animal cage; a Philadelphia instance where the bumortsU causafj the arrest of the groom. “Just for fun.” The fact that the young wife had hysterics, followed by a fit of nervous prostration, only added a keen edge to the merry Jeet There ie an Increasing number of those who ary secretly wedded, and only inform society months later. You cannot blame them. The Cincinnati Post says there doesn't seem to be any logical reason why a wedding should not be conducted with at least as much decorum as the average prize

who applied for employment aa teachers were required to conform to eertaBi a tankards of physical symmetry, like those set forth on the weighing machines, to which no one ever conforms with all doe respect to the original genius that evolved the rale at Chicago, we have never been able to see any necessary connection between a woman teacher s efficiency in the classroom and her physical excelleqcles or defects, so long as shs has energy enough to get through with the work. Patience, good nature and motherly Instinct enough to appreciate a young child's mental state are qualities that are as likely to be associated with superfluous flesh or too short suture as with the Ideal of Greek sculpture. It Is to be hoped tbst the Chicago experiment will be generally regarded as conclusive.

A Report from Cancer Experts. Cancer was among the diseases diagnosed In the Talmud 20 centuries ago. Before that far-away period it bad been a scourge among men and it is a scourge to-day. There has been progress In the treatment of the malady. Cures have been effected, usually by the aid of the knife. But despite the tireless Investigations of the moat brilliant men In medicine and surgery the cause and many characteristics of cancer remain among the mysteries Two years ago the cancer research fund was established in England with about 1500.000 In hand, and with the prince of Wales as president The fund experts have Just reported on their work for a year. They deny that clvjllxatlon has brought about a spread of cancer. The disease, they say. pervades animal as well as human life. It is not an infections trouble, nor Is It caused by a parasite. Radium has no enratire effect upon It A denial that cancer as a malady Is on the Increase is apparently positive in England. But In the United States cancer claimed 17.296 victims —a death rate of 60 per 100,000 of population—in the census year 1900, as against 9,410, a rate of 47.9. in 1890. How would the experts explain that? aska the New York World. The fupd doctors annoance the discovery of a, serum from which good results ate expected. Their report is one of prog- -— Perhaps, since their wortc la going on continugualy and is directed by the beat intelligence, their message may be accepted aa one of good cheer:-*They surely have the anxious best wishes of all the world.

Tha ▼alas of Publicity. The Wall Street Journal says It |s dear that there must be cultivated in this country a higher ethical standard as regards the use of statistics. The art of accounts must be so developed a* to disclose rather than to conceal. The manipulation of figures should be made aa Immoral an act as tie stesllng of money, for in the essence one Is as dishonest as the 'other. The railroad company which manipulates its figures so as to make tbe operating ratio appear less than It really is. and the bank which manipulates Its statement of deposits so as to conceal tbe amounts due other ihstltuyons, are alike sinning against JJghL Both are guilty of wrong toward tbe public. There will come a time when all headr of corporations will be as scrupulous In tbe presentation of tbe exact facts as regards their financial operations as they are now in seeing that every dollar paid in and every dollar paid out la scrupulously accounted lor.

Jersey Safely Republican. That New Jersey is safely Republican one has only to analyse tbeofficUl return* in the Cbnnress election of 1902. Out of ten districts the Democrat* carried three, -with pluralities aggregating 13,856. Seven districts gave the-Bepnblican* pluralities of 82.733. or 19.877 over all In the Stale. Excluding Mercer, the ten counties in the three districts In South Jersey gave 17,262 of tbe total pluralities. Mercer, on tbe political map. Is on tbe border of Central Jersey counties and the southern tier. In tbe election two years ago it irare lauiaing a plurality o'. 2.988. V this were figured the returns from Sonth Jersey this section wpul 1 make a showing of SO.Srtinf tbe 32,733 Republican plurality In tbe Stitte (or Congrrsemm.

One of the distinct features of tha age is the tendency to return to agriculture. Where a few years ago tbe farmer boys were rushing to tbe cities to crowd tbe profeeaions, there i» now a decided move in tbe other direction. The natural reaction that must always follow a movement radical In some tneasure accounts for the disposition to return to eofl for a livelihood, but there a Tbe agriculturalist baa come a professional man. tbe college and tbe university have added a special ccnroe for his benefit, and give him a degree.

Tbe Cincinnati Post says tbe dispiritla bor wbich bent tbe forms of tbe elders and sent tbe lads scurrying cityward has ‘been lightened by devices that better accomplish the end sought. Tbe long hours ere shortened, and tbe fanner finds time to indulge in tbe enjoyment of life. - This new condition, added to the fascination of independence, has turned many men from other professions toward the country, carrying with them the mannerism of their class until the extermination of the chin whisker U threatened by the Prince Albert coat
