the merchant, "and you can see for

and the merchant cut one Of the precious
peaches in two, handed the baron one
half and ate the other himself.
"They are exquisite, indeed, said the
Baron; ''wrap me up these two, and he
placed 200-franc note on the counter.
81 beg your pardon, the price is 400
francs" said the dealer.
"Four hundred francs? Why, it was
only 800 when there was three peaches"
Precisely, sir; but IS there are only
two peaches left, they are rarer and the
price has naturally advanced. IF we
were to eat one Of the remaining couple
the survivor, being unique, would be
worth at least |, 900 francs.

Fraudulent Divorce Certificates.

business rs a specially should be careful
not to marry gain until they are certain
all is right. Other evidence than the
statements Of the interruptions attorneys

posed himself divorced in this way
.osteueibly through o Pittsburg court,
found to his disgust that the names OF
officials who have 10 existence had been
affixed to the apparently legal certificate.
Some months ago New York reporter
visited one of the divorce lawyers, and
after paying him certain fees in due time
received what purported TO be the legal
attestaton Of his separation from his
wife. AS he had never been married
the value of the process threEigh which,
he had passed can very easily be con-
ceived. There is no doubt that mary Of
tbs applicants to these shystars are as
bad as their counsel, but this does rot

Legislation is apparently needed in
several States to check this nefariors
practice, and it shonid be Forthcoming.

Taxes Levied Upon Bachelors.

It has been repeatedly said, and
written, that sin these days young men
cannot afford to marry" but with the
constant demands fashion makes upon
the bachelors purse, the married man
seems to have the best of it. An eastern
paper says: HE who is invited to box
party must pay his footing with at least
ten dollars worth of bouquet; Ger
man costs as much-while the assembly,
to skip at once to the most appalingly
extensive form in which the tax islevied,
may be made to cost almost anything,
since maGams as well as maids expect
tribute from all their faithful followers,
and make their entry fairly hidden be-
meath mountainous aggregation of
flowers" This reminds me of little
comedy, written in the early days of
women's ''rightism," and called ''The
Spirit of TO-" defining woman's rights
and privileges, the chief one of which
was to assess all unmarried men sixty
per cent. on their property for the
privilege of being a bachelor. The au-
thor little knew that his would-be satire
would some day prove truth, the only
difference being in the way the tax was
levied.

Truth About the DOG.

AS a matter of fact, the dog has all
seasons for his own, and goes mad just
when he pleases. 1t is mistake to
confne his suppression and limit the
bounty on him to any month in the
year. With very few and rare excep-
lions he is useless. There should be a
bounty on him all the year round Out
side the sausage he serves no purpose,
aud in the belief of many be is not al
together digestible there. He does not
even catch his own heas. He Tadiates
them rather. OF course, they catch
birds, but the bird doesn't bite or so
mad why not keep the birds and abol-
ish the dog Occasionally a dog saves
somebody from drowning, but if figures
could be had we would venture to say
they never saved anybody from drown
ing who did not turn out to be predes-
tined to some other death. No doubt
the st. Bernard dogs have saved some
people from perishing in the snow, but
history furnishes no record of anything
in particular that has been done for the
benefit of the race by tho persons saved,
and it is more than likely that they
would have had an easier exit if the res
cuing dogs had left them alone than they
did have finally. We do not recall All
instance where dog has indicated his
reason for being. The friendly dog is
always too demonstrative /; the unfriendly
dog is a dangerous nuisance, and the dog
that is neither one nor the other only
occupies space and generates heas.

A Ton Of Truth,

Why is it that, In a majority of cases,
the newspapers, in recording anything
pertaining to continental countries that
involves a mention of weights or
measures, employ the terms used by
the metric system? The metric system
is undoubtedly the best one in use, but,
unfortunately, it is not thoroughly I'M
derstood in this country, and the general
ity of readers are all at sea regarding
the significance of the word. If an
American take any interest in a German
flagstaff, he wants to know how many
feet high it is; or if he desires to know
the weight of a French pig, pounds
alone will convey the desired information
to his mind. IF he is obliged to read OF
meters and kilogrammes, he utterly fails
to grasp the idea. The staff may be
miles high, and the pig may weigh tons,
the same may be said Of the employment
of words and phrases in foreign Ian
guage. No American is 80 cultured that
he cannot understand at least equally
well an idea conveyed in plain kings
English, with this exception, that there
are words and phrases IN foreign tongues
that are practically untranslatable, and
whose force would be lost In an attempt
to render them into English. But these
words and phrases are generally familiar,
and in common use in English converse
ton. Such words and phrases are Of
course allowable. But the use Of a
French phrase that can be understood
only by one versed in the French I'm
guage is snobbish. The journalist who
INDUCES in the practice OF peppering his
manuscript with foreign words run
great risk. The intelligent compositor
may make sad work of his best efforts,
and it is dangerous to repose unlimited
confidence in the prOof-reader. 1t Is no
evidence to the mind of the reader that
che writer is possessed of any particular
erudition because he is able to handle
Latin, Greek and French freely. Any
body, with dictionary of those Ian
guages at his elbow, can do the same.
What the general reader wants is plain
story, plainly told, In words that he can
understand Boston Buget.

Sensible Advice.

There is nothing like their own home
for married people, and especially for
young married people, even if the wife
shall have to cook and sweep the floor
and clean the windows. 1t she be a
healthy girl the exercise will do her
good-and no young man who has to
labor for his living should marry a girl
that is not healthy, strong, and willing
to do her own work while they are too
poor to hire servant. This thing of
marrying girl that you have to hire
another girl to take care of is not a wise
thing for poor young man to do. He
should look out for a girl that is broad
shouldered, strong in muscle, having of
course other virtues. The ideal girl, the
consumptive, tight-laced, party-going,
piano-playing, French-talking. fashioAa-
Bile girl, can be no proper wife Tor him.
This language the girls may think uu-
kind, but it is not. 1t is better for girls
that are not fitted to be a poor mans
wife to remain with their parents than
to become such. It viii be better for
their lovers, too, and better for society.
A girl then that does not know how to
cook fairly, or who would not when
necessary cheerfully cook for her hus-
band, ought not to marry any but "a
rich man-and no poor man should
marry her. If, then, girls without "a
dowry are content to marry young men
who have only their fond hearts, their
good name, their strong arms, their an
bition to make their wives happy, and
their hope to work up to a competence
through frugality and industry, these
girls should know how to cook-and
they ought to be ashamed to marry. any
such man until they have learned the
art of cooking. For such girl to
marry such man would be neither
more nor less than social fraud, unless
she shall before engagement inform him
fully of her ignorance on this subject.
It is WE'LL then, to have these schools of
cookery to which girls whose mothers
have not taught them the art can So and
learn-and we hope that the day is near
at hand when girls that are candidates
for matrimony will pride themselves
more on their ability to cook a good
dinner than ON their ability to dance,
sing, play, or fool away precious time on
less useful things. Then the world will
be better and the people in it viii bo
happier than they are now, and, the
youth that shall be born in the land will
be of greater bone, tougher sinew, and
of purer blood. = Unk1l0lG1 Ea'c7tdRgc.

The Bank Of England,

The Bank of England is governed by
a Board of Directors, a Governor and a
Deputy Governor. The Board Of Di-
rectors is, in fact, self electing. The
offices Of Governor and Deputy Governor
are given in rotation; the Deputy Gov
ernor always succeeds the Governor, and
usually the Oldest Director who has not
been in Office becomes Deputy Governor.
Tt is usually about twenty years from
the time of mans first election that he
arrives, as it is called, at the chair; ac
eordingly Bank Directors, when first
chosen by the board, are always young
men. Some of the Directors retire an
nually, but by courtesy it is always the
young ones; those who have passed the
ehair-that is, who have served the
office of Governor always remain; the
young part of the board is the fuctuat-
ing part, and the old part is the perma-
nent part. The elder members of the
bodrd-that is, those who have passed
