ABOUT WOMEN.

Gone goOse-Mr. Costing, who
married St. Louis Duck last week.
1t was the Detroit Free Press
that gives publicity to the fact that
Maria Lovejoy, of Fond du Lac, is
now pushing her fourth breach Of
promise suit, and the railroad has
had to put an extra train on for the
benefit of young men who want to
get out of that town.
A Boston man and a Titusville,
Pa, maid had a little quiet dance
all to themselves the other day
He did the dancing while she APP
piled the cowhide, and he doesn't
dance attendance on her any more.
Neither does he insult Titusville
ladies as much as he did.
A little girl, who fell off Long
Bridge and nearly drowned, was
rescued by young man. 1t is
consoliDg 20 think that as the child
is only five years of age the usual
denouement may be averted, but VIC
advise the young man to emigrate,
or she will go for him as soon as
she is old enough, and girls do
grow so fast in this country.-Sau
Francisco News Letter.
There have been three White
House weddings since 1920. In
the Green Room, Miss Maria Mon
roe, daughter OF President Monroe,
to Samuel l.. Gouverneur of New
York. The second was Miss Liz
zie Tylcr, daughter of President
Tyler, to VIM. Walter, of Virginia,
in l843, in the East Room. By a
coincidence, the eldest son of this
couple married the youngest sister
of Mrs. Jefferson Davis, at the Elk
ecutive Mansion in Richmond, du-
ring the Rebellion. The third was
that of Miss Nellie Grant.
A girl confessed to the crusaders
the other day that she had permit
ted sixteen men to kiss her, and
the horrible creature gave the
names of the men. Several are
married men, and a flutter has been
occasioned in certain circles. That
girl never heard of the sentiment

As in the community of busy bees
the insects formerly called 'neu-
ters' are known to be imperfectly
developed females, so British dis
ciple of Darwin surmises that in the
process of evolution the woman's
rights movement will result in the
production of "a sexless species of
humanity. But how this future con-
summation is to be reached in the
desuetude of matrimony he fails to
explain, forgetting that the apiary
maintains queen bee to lay eggs
for the cutirS hive.
One of Queen Vietoria's sons
having married the only daughter
of the Gar, way should not the on
ly available daughter of Queen
Victoria bp married to the only a.
valuable son of the Car? No one
being able to give an answer to this
cOnundrum, the betrothal of the
Grand Duke Alexis and the Prin-
cess Beatrice is spoken of rs q very
probable event. The young man
is twenty-four years old; the young
lady is only seventeen; but early
marriages are often the most hap
Ply. We give our consent When
Alexandrowna married Alfred she
was allowed to retain her own re-
ligion; but if Beatrice marries Alex
is she will have to abjure her faith
and accept his-that is, if he has
any. If religion among these PEG
pie was a really serious thing this
might be unpleasant, but probably
they regard it as a matter of little
moment.
A new use for Bradshaw is told
by the New Orleans Picayune: are
those gay widowers and middle
aged gentlemen of New Orleans a
ware that the young ladies to
whom they pay attention are in the
habit of appealing to Bradshaw for
statisticsy Such is the fact, at any
rate. Only few days ago we
heard one of the most innocent
looking of girls say, with refer
ence to certain elderly gallant of
her acquaintance, ooh, l know;
Bradshaw puts him down at Sl5,-
600. It's "a good thing to sub
scribe to Bradshaw. Several prom
ising mesalliances have been pre-
vented by information received in
this way. Notlong ago a stern pa,
rent instituted inquiries touching a
party who was seriously affecting
his daughter. The party looked
well, talked well, cut a tremendous
figure, and was atmospheric to a
degree seldom seen except in no.
tel clerk; but Bradshaw said: bad
lot; no money; fond of liquor; plays
cards Sunday; has a wife and five
children West; once forged his an
cle's name, but got the matter qui-
eted on account of the family
Bradshaw's candor is appalling
