There ar about matrimony many amus ing things, sees only by Una wbo have tha aaua of humor that will enable them to perceive a Joke en themselves, and tha keen vision that will not lat them look paat things aa tby seem to be to ulnga aa thay are. Ona feature that It universally ac knowledged to ba tunny la tha pert of tha marriage aarvlea In which tha brVU ta hoard promising to "obey" tho groom. 8ha won't do It. of course, ao why maka bar perjure herself? And why should she? la net marrlaca a partnership? But that point has bsen discussed ao much lately that wa caa let It pass. Stilt there ara other aranatnc phases relative to tha conjugal estate, "With alt my woldly goods I thee en dow!' declared a bridegroom with much (action at a wadding I attended. I have a leir control of my festuree. ao 1 did not smile. But I knew the girl- pretty tittle stenographer wbo had been engaged to this fellow since aha and he bad left school. They had waited for seam years, hoping that Henry would "gat. a job" that would warrant their marrying. But he didn't Ha waa a retting atone and went from one situation to another, re taining nona 80. at mat. when ha ob tained a job at II a week, and suggested that tha girl and ha many aha to keep on with her work aa stenographer and typewriter-It waa a virtual proposal that they marry and tot bar support them both. Some girls are foolish when they are In lave, so aha agreed. I happened to know that It was her money that bought tha wedding ring. ., Tet-"Wlth aU my worldly goads I thee endow!" ha repeated, with aa much fervor aa It ha were a mil lionaire and aha King Cophetua'e beggar ' maid. Ha owned hla own clot bee, haying purchased them himself, but his wife couM not wear those! They ara still married. In spite of the divorce fashion so popular now. He has another situation at the same wages aa before, and aha haa had a "raise." But ha talks of "my apartment" aad of what ba does with his income. Tea, it Is funny: Another very amusing feature with re gard to matrimony ta that each party to the contract which ta the result of a mar riage for lore seems to feel that love will last right on forever, no matter how much it ta abused, beaten or starved. That Is tha attitude, of married couples and their frlende until a rupture cornea and they and those wha know them arc made aware that If they ever did love eaoh Questions Bf EDGAR IXC1EN LAKKIX. Q. "What I tha cause of tha trade winder' . A The earth rotate en Its axia from west to east; and to a man north at the equator, facing the equator, from right to left, or opposite to tha motion of tho hands of hla watch, bald with baek toward the equator. And tha gen eral movement of tho entire masa of air around tha earth la la the same di rection. If not, then the equatorial re gion would be torn by a wind from tha east Mowing at a rata of MM mile per hour. Air In tho tropical sons is therefore carried from west to east along with the earth s surface of land and asa. But tha beat at tha sun ex panda the ahr aver these areas, make It rarer, and this causes It to rise tar above other layer of greater density: then eaol air tram tha north aad sooth temperate so nee rushes Into tha vacancy, and wind would blow straight toward the equator from both north and eouth ware It not for the rotation of tha earth. Tha surf see of tha earth at the equator move eastward with a velocity of seven teen miles per mlsute and at the latitude of tha Lowe observatory aaly fourteen and ene-half mllea per minute, and leas still at Ban Francisco; and this la the eastward speed of tha air also.' Then the air at varying eastward speed of from aay, twelve to sixteen miles per hour moves into ah- moving seventeen and, owing to tha great fundamental law of Inertia.

And tho people whe have killed Mm go on their indifferent way. till another humoroua thing about mar riage la that, no matter now much boss couples quarrel and disagree, ther eall each other affectionate names. -Dear, you ara unpardoaably careless!" exclaims the husband. Or "Darling, to heaveo'i sake do stop talking long enough to give ma a chance!" Or "Sweetheart," plead ingly, "don't make a toot of yourself!" Does It sound exaggerated T Perhaps t la, bat anty a little. Have wa net all seen a look of animosity In the area of hus bands and wives who have, nevertheless, gotten so into tha habit of addressing each other by pet names that they keep up the custom even hi their quarrels? Surely It Is a custom that b mora hon ored In the breach, the kt tha oaeerv ance. If the self-supporting wife of a stingy man has humor she will smile to herself when her husband reproves bar for ex travagance In her manner of dressing her self aad the children. If aha is wise sha will not art him sea her smile, nor will sha ssy anything In tha hops of opening his eye. She will not even remind htm that he la supposed to provide for bar and hla sons and daughters, and that aa ha falls to do this, sha surely haa a right to doth herself and her offspring aa she pleasea There are some things that a woman cannot aay to a man and etui live In any ambiance of peace with him. aad there ara soma thtaga aha haa na right to aay. If huaband cannot support hla fern fly, It would ba creel to remind blm of the fact aad If be will not support them, the reminder would but Incur his enmity. 80ms features of marriage ara amusing enough aa they are without adding to the Irony of the situation by quarreling with tha man to whom one la bound by church and state. Marriage la either comparatively happy or actually . silseraM, There la no medium, even though wa talk aa If there were. If on la happy, let ona thank heaven and make the most of her good fortune: but It one la unhappy, aa ap preciation of the ridiculous phases of tha condition may become a saving clause. J in Science regarding the nature of Ufa, what It is. nor of it causa or origin. Wi cannot even think of life, and cannot compare It to anything within range of all human experience. It la fact that If wa seano compare any discovery with anything known w cannot gala knowledge of the discovery. I may add, no traoo of a duo to the nature of anything whatever baa yet been detected. However, the word "yet" faintly implies that man may yet stumble upon some now hidden clue, re vealing what something la, It la. thought that If it could be found what electricity Is. the nature of other entitle eeuld ba discovered. Here Is trouble, tor I bava printed a hundred times that nothing ex ists but electrons. Q--Is anthropology the knowledge science of man an exact science? Or what la tha present state of this setonear A This la a difficult question. Anthro pology would be supposed to tell ua of our origin. Nothing la now known of tke origin of man. The science of man In cludes ethnology, anatomy, physiology, eraniology, montoiogy, sociology, aad the llka-all In a gigantic study of science. AO of these ara now la a atata of ehaoa. Mathematics Is the only study not chaotic. Sa little hi known regarding man that anthropology Is not yet a adenoe.
