It is too soon to make a correct estimate of the record of Woodrow Wilson .as president. 'Were the estimate to be made now he would probobly be de- scribed as a high-minded scholar who was more of :t theorist than 21 -practical statesman, and was temperamentally heit to hold the office of president at a time when even a Lincoln would tdten be in a strait 'twixt two or more courses Which were open to be taken. His anxiety to keep his country out of the war has ever been a counterpoise to his desire. to maintain at all costs the code t'if international etiquette which he has so strenuously advocated with his pen, and lais repeatedly created the impression of vacillation and weakness.

The following are a few interesting facts about marriage: -.- Some marry for the sake of a good companiou and never discover their mistake. This is fortunate, Never marry a man for bis reputation It is /labia to be only a reported affair, borrateed from his ancestors. Many marry to spite someone else, only to learn that they themselves have the worst of the transaction. Marriage is a lotery full of chances; herein lies its fascination, All like to chance it, because everyone likes to min a prive. The most affectionate people before marriage seldom hold out in the same proportion after the knot is tied. It is better philosophy to commence only as yttu would live afterwards. From the matrimonial market the saints of Isiah sexes were culled long ago, Do net expeet to marry one, \\', '211122) is sometimes the realcause el unhappiness in the married relations of life, Ina the majority of 112 stances the case le reversed, and she is really the true character in It.

Roumania herself Is A geographical anomaly, and it is very curious to Bad a Latta enclave In Eastern Europe surrounded on all sides by Slays and Hungarlans-for not only do Roumanians speak a Latin tongue closely resembling Ital- ian, but in spite of all admixture with Slays, Turks, and Phancerlote Greeks, they retain to this day strong signs of their 'tall= blood. Rou- mania is the modern descendant of Trajart's Ronlan colony In Dacia, sad the explanation of the Roumanians in the tuleowina and Transylninia lies in the fact that Trajan's prov- ince included both these districts and was sancta larger in extent than the. modern kingdom of Roumania, But apart from this ancient tie, Rou- manians set 125 a more modern claim, to the Bukowina. For the kingdom! of Roumania was created in the nine- teenth 8021201'from the union of the' two provinces of Moldavia and Wal- lachia, which was formerly Turkish. The Bukowina was once a part of Moldavia and, indeesi, Suczava in the Bukowina was once the Moldavian capital, When Catherine declared war upon Turkey the Russians oc- cupied the 13ukoevina in 1 7 6 9, but' they restored it to the Turks when peace wa.s made in 1 7 7 4: Austria had been much perturbed by this oc- cupation and made great show of her anxiety for its reetaution to Turkey. But this friendliness was by no means disinterested, for she prompt- ly set up an intrigue to secure it for herself, and in. 1777 the Porte ceded it to her, Since then it has remain- ed in Austrian hands.

Some men belonging to one of the. battalions of the Ring's Liverpool Regiment are billeted in an empty house, and have to sleep on a straw mattress on the floor, with the win- dows wide open, according to orders.
