WHAT SHE WANTS TO KNOW.
She Wants to Know How to Make Both
Ends Meet on SIG psr Week.

Among the young women who ask
important and sometimes perplexing
questions of the Philadelphia Times is
one who wants TO know what kind of
young man she should marry. Her par
ticuiar anxiety is to know whether it is
safe for q girl without money to marry
a man without trade. 1t is rather I'M
usual for girl in love to look so far
ahead rs this, or to take such a practi-
cal view of life. Few of them ever look
beyond how they will look at the we'd
ding, or whether it would not be better
to have the services at home, in church,
or whether, rs a matter of romance, she
ought not to run away.
The trouble with the young woman
in the present case is that she is engaged
to nice young man who never learned
a trade. He.thought it was much nicer
to take a clerkship, where he getss$16 a
week and where the work does not soil
his clothes. The young woman has been
studying this question with rather more
philosophy and good judgment than
the sex is usually. credited with. She
fears that clerkships us n general thing
do not pay wei, do not afford much OPP
portunity- for adyancement, and are of
less certain tenure than almost anything
else. She finds that the young men who
early learn tradesAgood, honest. useful
trades seem to have more ambition.
are sturdier and better directed.
The yonng womanhas clearly reached
a sensible conclusion. The subject
about which she inquiries is not alto
pether new Tt has been Diseased in
these columns before. It is always in
teresting, however. Girls cannot be adj
yised that itswould ben misfortune al
ways to marry clerk, but it must be
apparent that the better dependence is
upon a man who has the discipline and
the advantage which sie thorotIgh
knowledge of a useful trade gives. 1t
is rare indeed that the skilled workman
is out of employ, and unusual skill and
ability find ready recognition in every
department of labor. 1t is the misfor-
tune of too many of the, girls of this time
that they prefer young men whose work
is such. that they can always wear good
clothes

Not O. Stupid Youth,

A San Francisco millionaire, hoping
to encourage his promising son in ways
of thrift, promised to give him two per
cent "A month interest upon any money
that he might save outsof his spending
allowance and deposit in the paternal
treasury. The young man was getting
800 week for pocket money, and prom
ised to show his appreciation of his faith
er's affectionate offer. He began to
make deposits without delay, and kept
the practice up with remarkable regu-
larity The old gentleman noticed
presently that the deposits exceeded the
whole of the boys allowance, but ac-
counted for this by supposing that he
had saved some. money previously. Be-
sides this, he received money frequent
ly from his mother So the fond par
cnt reioiced in the saving disposition
that his son was displaying This con-
tinued until the boys deposits assumed
such Dimensions as to demand an ex-
PLANTATION 1t then turned out that most
of the money that he. had been deposit
ing had been borrowed Inasmuch as
he was drawing interest on his deposits
at two per cent month, and was pay
ing only ten per cent year for them,
he had found that business decidedly at
tractiye and profitable.

ReeiDr6city,

The next Congress viii certainly take
measures to Tetaliate Sn Germany for
excluding American pork. There can
be no doubt that Germany has the right
to exclude anything she pleases from
her border The United States govern
ment has the right to do the same. An
impolite man once told Il gentleman that
if he. the former, was as big fool as
the Hitter, he would tie some old iron
about his neck, and slip off at the end
of wharf where the water was twenty
feet deep. When the gentleman heard
this remark he reached out from the
shoulder and knocked the otSer party
about seventeen feet up against wall.
The Sinittrn party SWING on to his head
with both hands. and calculated in
monrnful tone OF voice: why all this
madness? Is not this free country,
cant man say what he thinks?n To
which the other replied: You are just
right. This is a free country. You can
say what you please. You can use your
mouth as you please, and i II use my
fist as | please. Where there is SO
much mutuality. there is bound to be
some reciprocity
This is precisely the case with Ger
many. The Germans have the right to
exclude American pork, and we can
exclude auOlLeFaIeu tTefDldn WINES anu
many other artieleS that are imported,
for where there it SO much reciprocity,
there should be some mutuality.
The talk in Germany about the un-
healthness of American pork is all
bosh, but the German government is SO
hard pushed for an excuse to show its
hostility to this country. that we should
not be surprised to learn that Prince
Bismarck's sciatica. and Kaiser VII
liam's old age have been caused byAmer
lean pork.-Terus !Siftinqs.

Well, without continuing this
