USELESS EXPENDITURE.

At funerals and weddings as conducted
nowadays, money is literally wasted in os-
'tentatious display, which is always objec-
tonable, but particularly 30 at funerals.
Very often, too, they involve expenses which
the survivors are poorly able to meet, and
which entail distress and sometimes dis
honor Still, the natural feeling that i'm
pels the iavishing of honor upon the newly
dead is very strong and hard to be con-
trolled. Too often the conscience of the
survivor smites him for his neglect or
wrong Of the dead while living, and he
wishes to make compensation. 1T is the
last thing that can be done, let us do it
WELL" is the thought. But this feeling
should be kept within proper bounds. An
evidence of good sense is to be seen in the
growing simplicity of our wedding festivals.
1t is becoming considered in rather bad
taste to permit, at the weddings even of
our most wealthy people, the profuse dis
plays, either of apparel, jewelry or bridal
presents, that were deemed the correct
thing few years ago. A quiet, elegant,
but inexpensive wedding is now becoming
the rule, in the best circles rather than the
exception. This is all right and shows
wholesome tendency to practice thrift and
economy.

A UNIVERSAL MARRIAGE LAW.

The United States deeply needs the boon
9 universal marriage law. AS the ma
ton at present stands there are different
marriage laws for almost every State, SO
that when Mr.. and Mrs. Smith become
married in one State and divorced in another
it is difficult for third party to say with
certainty what their position is when they
go to third. The profound questions i'm
plicated in marriage and divorce are rem
Tered still more profound when this i'm
nense diversity of law on the SUBJ ject comes
10 be taken into consideration. Take up
the case we have just alluded to. Say that
Hr. and Mrs Smith after having been
married and lived together for seven years
should take it into their heads that the best
thing they could do was to part, meaning to
get divorced. Suppose that no cause ex-
isted sufficient to warrant divorce in the
State in which they married and are now
living, though one or two reasons could be
found which, in the adjacent State, justi-
lied divorce. Suppose that Mr.. and Mrs.
Smith removed to the adjacent State and
remained long enough time for the di-
vorcc laws to be capable of operating upon
them, Suppose those laws took effect,
and they were divorced, would they, upon
to the first State, be any more
divorced there than they were upon leaving
it3 Could either party legally marry
again within that State? Or, marrying
again in any other State, would such re-
marriage be recognized as legal in the first
State ? And 80 through the various COM
plexiies.

England has not foot Of land on the
continent of Europe excepting Gibraltar,
and probably never viii have; but every
Englishman who sails into the harbor OF
Gibraltar, and from the deck Of the vessel
looks up the sloping sides of this rock,
three miles long, feels and knows that it is
worth more than any kingdom on the con-
tinent. He sees at glance that the power
which this holds the Mediterranean.
He sees how impregnable it is, and that all
the navy of the world could not take it.
He sees the line Of granite wall stretching
along the water, from the perpendicular
eastern face around the western side and to
the northern face, surmounted by eighty
ton guns, pointing in every direction.
From the deck of ship in the bay is the
best place to get good view of the fort
ress. The town consists of two parts, both
situated on the western side near the wa
ter. The residence for civilians and for
business is on the northerly end of the
western side. Then comes the parade
ground; then beautiful park called the
Alameda, with walks, miniature lakes,
bridges, rustic seats, and trees and flowers
of all kinds; and then on the southwesterly
side are situated the houses of the officers
and garrisons for the soldiers.
The town of Gibraltar is the civil
ians' quarters-is built on the slope which
rises quite suddenly from the western side
of the rock. Street rises above street, for
hundreds of feet and in the evening,
when the houses are lighted, it has much
the appearance Of the old town of Edin-
burgh viewed from the lower town. 1t has
population Of about eighteen thousand
composed of all races under the sun, anil
clothed in every garb known to mankind.
The largest portion of the people are Ro-
man Catholics Then the Jews come next
in number; they have four synagogues
The Protestants are next in number, and
then Mohammedans. The inhabitants are
traders and smuggling seems to be chief
part of their business. Eight thousand
pounds of tobacco, besides immense guam
titles of other goods are smuggled
into Spain from Gibraltar annually, and
when it is remembered that one of the
chief sources of revenue to Spain is tobacco,
it may be seen what a thorn in the side of
Spain is this English fortress. These goods
are carried of from Gibraltar in small
boats, at night, to the coast of Spain,
where the contrabandists are ready to
receive them and carry them into the
Mountains, and thence to all parts OF the
1ingdom.

HUNGER AND THIRST.

Some interesting experiments have 70
Gently been made by the medical faculty
Of Michigan University, in order to deter
mine the seat of hunger and thirst in tn.
animal system. A dog was chloroformed,
after having been fed hearty meal, and
while the musculo-membranous reservoi,
for food was largely distended, an incision
was made through the abdomen, over tn,
large cuvarture of the stomach, into thai
organ; then a silver tube, a quarter of an
inch in diameter and an inch and hall
long, was inserted in the cut, the other end
of which was then corked up. The tube
has half-inch fanges at both ends, the
inner fange serving to keep the tube in its
place while the outer fange closely shuts
the exterior
The dog still lives with stomach perma-
nently on top; in fact, the operation in no
way affects the health of the mastiff, al
though in undergoing the severe ordeal to
which he is now at times subjected in the
interest of science, hunger compels him to
eat about six times as much as formerly
The result of the experiment proves that
the seat of hunger is not in the stomach,
neither is the seat of thirst in the throat,
but that they both reside in the system at
large. The dog was permitted to eat
hearty meal, which was Immediately taken
from him, via tube. In few minutes af-
ter recovering from his fright, he would
eat an equally large quantity Of food, and
60 on to any extent.
Again, he has not been permitted to eat
anything for say twenty-four hours. Food
would then be injected into his stomach
through the tube. Notwithstanding his
stomach was already full, the animal would
at once gulp down more food; but if suffi-
cient time was given for the injected food
to enter the system, he would then refuse all
that was set before him. The conclusions
arrived at from these experiments find con-
frmation in the fact, which has often been
observed, that persons suffering from thirst,
although the parohed sensation il appar-
emily limited to the throat, find immediate
relief upon entering bath or even from
lmmersing the feet in water.

DEE CULTURE I'm EGYPT.

The Egyptians exhibit great skill in their
manner of cultivating the bee. The flowers
and the harvest are much earlier in Upper
Egypt than in Lower, ard the inhabitants
profit by this circumstance in regard to
their bees. They collect the hives of differ
ent villages on large barks and every pro-
prietor attaches q particular mark to his
hive. When the boat is loaded the conduc-
tors descend the river slowly, stopping at
all places where they can find pasturage for
the bees. After having thus spent three
months on the Nile the hives are returned

as when there is widow in the case the
party of the other part is supposed to
have but little to say about the matter,
why, nothing can be inferred, favorable
or otherwise, from these examples. A
man may marry, and even marry wild
ow at that age, and still not turn out to
be great general or astronomer.
Wm. Penn married at 2S, Lord Nelson
at 20, Burns at 80, Chaucer, Hogarth
and Peel at 80, Sir H. Davy at SO, Aris-
totle (who is supposed to have known a
good deal about these things) married at
S6, Sir VIM. Jones at 81, Wilberforce at
3S, Martin Luther was some married at
AZ, Addison more or less at A, Wesley at
46, Button at the age of SIS, and the late
DIR. Parr made matrimonial venture by
marrying widow at the age of l2o. It
may be said of the vigorous old centen-
marian, however, that while this was not
his first marriage it proved to be his last,
and the inference is rather unfavorable
against marrying after man is 120 years
old. Still in vast number of cases it
would be advisable for young men to fol-
low DR.. PARIS example, avoiding the in
discretions of his early youth.
To those who believe in the influence
of example the foregoing list will be val
liable. If they desire to be statesmen,
warriors, poets and philosophers, artists
or scientists they must follow in the
matrimonial footsteps of the illustrious
