Not unfrequently both men and
women expect more from marriage
than it is in human nature TO
Weld. In the romantic counting
days the love making is fresh, and sweet,
and all engrossing. and the unrefiecting
innocents are deluded inlo the belief that
the bonds of matrimony are alone needed
TO secure them a life of love and JOY at
che high fever heat of the warm, youth
full moments. But such an anticipation
Of heaven on this earth cannot be. The
heat must cool down and the intoxication
Of love sober into the tranquility of
friendship. II is great matter TO get
safely through the cooling process. The
danger is that, when it begins, one, or
other or both, ignorant that its cause lies
in the nature of things, may throw the
blame on an innocent partner, and in his
or her sweet heart sigh over the awful
misfortune of dreary union. This
would not happen SO frequently as it does
if, as is not often the case, the husband
and wife were to sober down at the same
rate. As a rule the lady will hold on to
the tender love making much longer than
the gentleman Ii is the man that cools,
and the wife that is broken-hearted
Among the causes of evil lying nearer
the surface there is our system of court
ship, which seems as if especially design
ed for mischief. To be kind and atten-
tive to the object of ones affection is
natural on the part of both man and
woman. But. according to custom, the
gentleman must do all the wooing, the
labor of love making falls to him, and as
a rule, he does not spare himself For
weeks, for months, for years, he worships
at the feet Of his fair one with compi-
ment, fiattery and endless attentions. He
seems the slave of her smallest wish. In
all this there is much acting, often much
conscious acting Marriage is the drop
ping of the curtain; with it ends the
merry but in its consequences, melancholy
farce And when he sees the effect of
the play, he sincerely wishes it lad never
been. The attentions cannot continue.
Nor is it desirable that they should.
Yet in getting them for a time, women
are taught to expect them forever. The
arrangement is cruel to women. 1t is
like the practice of first spelling children,
and then furnishing them for being
spoiled.

vol. Il, p. 411) The extraordinary prolong-
alton of life in this case may be attributed
to the retention of the heat Of the
body by the Don-condscting power Of the
chalk, aud TO the retention of its moisture
by the ssturation of the air in its immediate
vicinity, and restriction of its movements.
As might be expected, the old can live
longer without food than the young. Ia
youth, the growth OF the body causes more
rapid consumption of nourishment, and the
supply and the waste are more quickly got
rid Of; further than this, the nervous system,
though more buoyant in youth, is less
stable, so that the young perish quickly
quickly when the supply Of food Is cut of,
from the want OF sustaining power in the
nervous system. This was illustrated in
the recent case OF csnnibslism, the boy being
in dying state when the men, so far as
their muscular power was concerned, were
strong enough to accomplish the terrible
deed they died.
In the case OF the Welsh fasting girl, death
took place after deprivation of food for eight
days. During the first few days she was
cheerful but later on il was found that she
could not be kept warm; she then lapsed
in to a state of tor Dor, from which she could
not be reused, and died.
Four men and boy were imprisoned in a
mine from April IL to April 10; they had &C.
cess to water, but no food, between those
dates. When liberated they all recovered,
the damp atmosphere and their access to
water being powerful factors in their aid.
Another curious fact to be observed in
those who recover after prolonged starvation
is their unwillingness to be questioned on
the subject, and their inability to give any
coherent version Of their suffering and feel
ines. showing plainly that the mental power
was too torpid to take impressions at the
time. In herecent case of csnnibslism their
sUgering was aggravated by intense thirst,
but they seem to have been able to give a
4rxfA IF
alton, which is not usually the case.
The history of starvation points to this
fact, that the moral sense dies before the
physical being; and some interesting intel
ligeuce may be gathered by study of this
subject in its broadcast basis as a national
question, where Ii relates to the intellectual
and social qualities OF race in ill-fed and
well-fed countries.

HISTORIC AUTOGRAPHS.

a Remarkable Collection Gathered by -
Senator's Wife-A Book FILLED with
Distinguished Names and Polite eenti.
ments Inscribed by Statesmen, Warriors.
and Literateurs OF the Last Hair Century.
Philadelphia Press.l
An extremely rare and valuable collection
OF autographs is that now in the possession
of George G.. Evans, q clerk in the highway
department. 1t is embraced in small vol
ume Of fifty pages, delicstely tinted IN vsri-
Gus colors. In point of historic interest Ii is.
perhaps, not equaled by any other single
collection. The book is the property of Mr..
Evans amt, Mrs. AunR L. Evans, the wife
of George Evans who was Senator OF the
Unit. d Sfaiss from Maine in 1884, and was
for DiTe years member of the National
House Of Representatives. Mrs. Evans, al.
though not over ninety years OF age, is well
preserved, and enjoys the exercise OF all her
faculties. Her collection of autographs in
cludes all Of the great statesmen OF the
country who were in Congress in 1884, and
has been much sought by curiosity hunters,
but she has steadily refused to give IL up for
publication. Many OF the men who inscribed
their sentiments in this little book left repu-
tations that arc f0ndly cherished by the
present generation, and that will forever
live in history.
Mrs. Evans, at the time her gifted husband
was in Washington, was leader in society,
and her acquaintance was almost universal,
extending ss IL did. to actors, distinguished
foreigners, and men OF letters. The auto
graph album was in those days compare
lively new institution, and the collection of
names aud sentiments was novel and an
easy task. 1t was q source of equal pleasure
to the 20 herer and the contributor.
On the opening page Of the book appears
the name of JohR Quincy Adams. The
bandwritirg marks a hesitating pen that at
several stages in its progress narrowly es-
capped the dreadful calamity of a blot. Mr..
Adams wrote:
