Risks In Promising to Marry.

From the Pail Mall Gazette
1t is an interesting question of social ethics
how far the parties to a matrimonial ENGAGE
ment ought to disclose any skeletons they NAV
chance to have in their respective cupboards.
AS far as the law, however. is concerned the
question seems to be settled by the breach of
promise case which, after occupying Baron Pol
lock and special jury for several days, came to
an end yesterday. There is no rule of law, the
learned judge told the jury, "to compel any alb
solute or entire disclosure before lady accept
ed lovers Offer" and a man who promises to
marry lady without expressly making his
promise conditional does so at his own risk In
this case the risk has been very serious mat
ter, and the jury, acting apparently on Baron
Poilocks suggestion, that Ito lady in a ques-
tionable position the chance of good marriage
is doubly precious awarded the "exemplary''
damages Of g., $50. The defendant is a success
full builder at BOurnemouth, and, perhaps, can
afford to buy his experience dear, but he has
hardly shown much skill in erecting ''the tenn
pie of his love-" Baron Pollock was of opinion
that mo time had been wasted in Calculating a
social matter Of this nature and the case will
certainly have been useful if it puts elderly
lovers on their guard by reminding them of the
sympathy which "a dne-looking woman is sure
OF obtaining from British jury.

Children's Imported Dresses.

The princesse dress made up to repre-
sent separate waist and skirt with hip
1rapery is the design most popular
| here. and most often seen among the
importations for girls from four to
twelve years of age; for misses in their
teens different models are required,
and for little girls of two to four wears
there are various simple and full dress
es that have guimpes or yokes, or else
are in loose sacque shape. For the
princesSe dresses of large girls all the
rich materials used for ladies' dresses
are employed, and the colors are the
same dark shades of golden brown,
pigeon gray, ruby, plum-color, dark
green and deep sapphire blue. Bro
caded velvet in small figures is COM
bined with satin, and the plain velvets
have ottoman repped silks or satin
Surah and much lace, and the new
clasps and buttons and chenille trim
m:ngs are precisely like those worn by
women; the Moliere vest of satin Surah
is feature of many of these little dress
es; and there are Louis Quinze coats,
and cravats and pulled hip drapery in
the prevailing panier fashion. The lin
ing of the princesse dresses is of silesia,
and is the only part of the dress that is
continuous. The rich velvet is put on to
simulate n coat, and is fastened in front
Under the soft vest of gathered satin
eurah. This coat extends low over the
dips, where it meets bOX-plaiting or
kilt-plaiting that does duty as a skirt,
ind the seam that joins these is concealed
sy pulled drapery of satin Surah that
ends behind in large sash bow. An
ether princesse lining will have the
pigeon gray velvet which covers it from
one shoulders down cut to represent a
pointed waist falling on vertugadin
puff of plain velvet laid in box plaits at
.Ie top, and gathered below to droop
on the skirt of plain ottoman silk. The
sleeves of these new dresses are bout
FAINT at top and plain coat shape below,
or else they are slightly full their whole
length, and are gathered under the arm
few inches above the wrists. Garnet
and ruby are the red shades most used
in rich fabrics for small girls dresses,
and are prettily combined with pink

Of velvet ribbon on the left shoulder is
ON many of these dresses. A single
large pearl or metal clasp is put in the
sasn DOW on the back, and there Is
smaller clasp at the throat, and another

At Jacobs Well.

This is one of the few spots in Pales-
tine whereof all tradition concurs as 10
its identity. This makes it venerable.
And now we are looking down into the
well at which Joseph SO often watered
the flock of his father Jacob. The top
has been partly arched over, covering
little space around what we should
call the "curb" of the well. The
dragomen gave me his strong arm and
let me over this upper and outer rim
down few feet to point where got
nearer view of the depth below. Ex-
plorers who have measured it have
found it over hundred feet deep, but
a part of this has been filed up by the
stones cast into il.
But how came Jacob to dig such a
well? is question often asked. He
was close to the Vale of Shecbam, which
is full of streams. What need of boring
hundred feet through solid rock to
find what mile or two distant was run
ming away in exhaustless abundance?
The answer is that neighbors are not

THE DAIRY.

The breeders Gazette insists that
the material going into the manufactur.
of skim cheese is worth two or three
times as much to feed to calves or pigs.
Here is q straw that shows which
way the wind is blowing: lone of the
wonders of the Iowa State Fair last
week was the production each day of
about fifty pounds of butter from milk
furnished by cows on the ground. The
milk fresh from the cows was put into
the centrifugal milk separator, the
cream spun from the milk, and from
thence put into 4 churn and quickly re-
duced to butter" 1t is our candid be-.
lief that this method of separating the
cream from the milk will very soon SUI
persede all other methods. The num-
Der of these separators now being pur-
chased by the owners 0f herds of dairy
cows is quite amazing, Judging from
our own individual knowledge of late
purchases. Since these machines have
been reduced in size to the working of
less than single horse power, there is
no reason why any dairyman with
twenty COWS or more should be without
them-IHe DdirU
