preston in the record of our divorce
courts. Persons of worthless or de-
PRAYED character cannot expect felicity
in marriage, and until young women
pay more heed to the qualifications for
the administration of household affairs
and young men more generally acquire
the habits which fit them for the enjoy
ment of home, the desire for divorC Q
will be often felt, even if it cannot be
gratifed. Mgr. Capel believes that par
ents ought to have more to do in marry
ing their children in this country, and
Miss Milford once remarked that she
observed that marriages de conUe1101ace
more frequently result happily than
what are knc WIN as love matches. The
fact is, as young people are now general
ly brought up, they are apt to discover
when they marry they are bound to per-
sons who do not understand the most
common duties which are indispensable
to the happiness of a family. 1t will
take something besides legislation to
cure the malady which is now the sub
ject of such general complaint.

Female Tenacity of Life.

fFrom the Toronto Globe.I
It appears from the gathered statistics
of the world that women have a greater
tenacity of life than men. Nature wor-
ships the lady in all its varieties. Among
insects the male perishes at relatively
earlier period. In plants the seminate
blossoms die earliest and are produced
on the weaker limbs. Female quadru-
peds have more endurance than males.
In the human race, despite the intellec-
tual and physical strength Of the man,
the women endUres longest, and Will
bear pain 70 which the strong man sue
cumbs. Zymotic diseases are more IA
tai to males, and more male children die
than females. Deverga asserts that the
proportion dying suddenly is about 100
women to 780 men; 1850 in the United
States In 1870 committed suicide, to 285
women. Intemperance, apoplexy, govt,
hydrocephalus, affections of the heart
and liver, scrofula, paralysis, are far
more fatal to males than females. Pull
mOnary consumption, on the other hand,
Is more deadly to the latter. Females
IN cities are more prone to consumption
than In the country. All old countries
not disturbed by emigration have great
majority of females in the population.
In royal families the statistics show
more daughters than sons. The Hebrew
woman is exceptionally long lived; the
colored man is exceptionally short lived.
The married state is favorable to pro-
longation of life among women. DIR.
Hough pIoclaims that there are from,
to per cent. more males born than fe-
males, vet there are more than 6 per
cent. of females in the living popula-
tions. From which statistics we conclude
that all women ought to marry, and
that as men are likely to become SO
scarce they cannot be sufficiently priced
bv the other sex.

Some Methods of Wife Getting.
From the Washington Post ]

The Wedding Day in all Lands T"
was an interesting subject, Judging from
the size and appreciation of the audience
which assent led to hear Prof. Otis Z.
Mason at the Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION rooms last evening. The pro-
lessor described the various methods of
wife getting and marriage which have
been practiced with success by the mem
bers of the human race from the lowest
state of civilization to the present time.
In Australia, when a young man is
particularly in love with a young lady,
he waits around until he catches her out
without her father or any of her broth
ers, and when he sees a good chance hits
her on the head with his club and takes
her home. OF course, when the old
man hears of it he is very indignant,
and turns the tribe out after the ardent
lover. The youth is then given a small
shield, and the girls father and relatives
stand off and throw boomerangs and
other dangerous missiles at him. If he
is generally disliked in the tribe, he has
to Jump around pretty lively to save his
life, but if he is considered "good
catch they manage to make 1t easy for
him.
A favorite custom in New Zealand,
when there are two suitors of toler&bly
equal pretensions, is that of pulling.
Each of the lnen seizes an arm of the
maiden and attests the ardor of his af-
lection by the strength with which he
tugs at it. It not unfrequently happens
that the girls arms are dislocated. The
man who loses then takes off his shoe
and gives it to the victor, to show that
he renounces all claim to the lady, and
from this custom, it is said by some, the
old shoe throwing at weddings was de-
rived.
When a young Polynesian negro
wants wife he goes to the damsel's
father and fixes on a fair price. He then
starts on years hunting and fishing ex-
cursion, during which he begs from all
his friends which he may visit, and al
the end of his trip takes his catch to the
desired father-in-law. The old gentle
man then either gives the youth credit
for the amount or let's him have the
girl and takes lien on her for the bal
ance.
In former times Swedish bridegroom
| went to the church accompanied by
about 100 friends and allies, who were
well armed for the occasion. These
constituted his "best men," and if the
girl was at all good-looking or wealthy
their prowess was generally put to the
| test. The "best men" of our day are
but shadowy remnant of those stall
wart orOornsmen

Washing Little Ivan.

The little mouschik is taught to be
very clean-once week. The Russian
creed requires him to battle every Sat-
urday, and he does so religiously, but
he does not see much water between
times, and sleeps by night in the clothes
he wears by day. Even the Russians of
better families often content themselves
with dry polish, instead of a wash.
Little Iwa1's bath would be a trying
thing for an English child First he is
steamed till he is half suffocated in a
hole under the stove, or in one of the
vapor baths, constructed ID rude manner
in all Russian villages. Then he crawls
out, and mother half browns him with
pailfuls of hot water. Then she pours
ice-cold water over him, or sends him
out to have roll in the snow, after
which little Ivan dresses with pride,
having had all the cleaning he will get
for a week.

AN ENTIRE FAMILY

Of Five Persons Dies Within Five Weeks.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, January 1.-THE
death of an entire family, consisting of
five persons, within the short space of
five weeks has created considerable in
quiry and excitement in the neighbor-
hood of Charming Avenue and Manches-
ter Road, near this city, where the re-
markable fatality occurred. It is con-
sidered all the more strange from
the fact that five physicians have
been called to attend the fam
lily, and that each of the patients has
died within few hours after the first
attack. The case has been investigated
by the board of health, and neither of
the officers of that body have so far been
able to give satisfactory solution of the
affair. The corpse of the last of the
family, Michael O'Brien, is now cofined
ready for burial at his late residence. A
babe died first, then the mother, then
two older children, a son and daughter.
It is thought the deaths may have re-
suited from poisoned food.

Education in India.
From London Times.l


1t appears from inquiries into the sub
sequent history of 3, OLA Indian students,
that, although their parents, OF what
ever caste, had for the most part been
connected with agriculture either as
landlords, tenants or laborers, the sons
invariably showed a great aversion to
the pursuit of agriculture In any form;
and as the primary system of education
was mainly intended for the agricultural
classes, this fact is very noteworthy.
The statistics show that while the num-
Der of agricultural parents was 81 per
cent. and of non agricultural 80, that of
the sons was q per cent. agricultural
to 70 non-agricultural. Mr.. Nesfield,
the inspector of education, believes that
at the rapidly developing rate of Hindoo
boyhood his muscles have become re-
laxed and his constitution enfeebled by
sedentary life, so that he is unable to
follow hard labor under the sun; and
the same desuetude of manual labor at
an impressionable age makes him disin-
clined or unable to take up any form of
skilled artisan work, of which his father,
although unable to read or write, Is by
constant practice in HE youth master.
In support of this theory Mr.. Nesfeld
gives list of seventeen leading hands
in the Dude and Rohilkhund Railway
workshops at Lucknow-men employed
as filters, turner's, blacksmiths, brass
molders, etc., and some of them having
seventy to eighty men beneath them.
Of these seventeen, only one was able
to read and write, the other sixteen be-
| ing wholly illiterate.

ance and dress which made him laughed
I at In his younger days. He seems to be
little bashful on new acquaintance, and
is not at ease with the good manners of
ordinary society, but this shyness be-
co1aes familiarity when he feels sure of
his company.
AN Albany law court reporter gives
this picturesque portrait of Mr.. William
NJ, Evarts: /" He was dressed in what
might be called the style of the antique
renaissance. His trousers were orna-
mental in cut and modest in color;
black vest cut low enough to display an
expanse of immaculate linen, and was
ornamented by plain gold watch chain
with horse shoe pendant. His hat was
black, of the Prince Albert style. His
neckwear displayed a dislike of new
modes. Over an old-fashioned stock of
black silk, reaching we'll up toward the
chin rolled starchless collar, compile
ting picture suggesting the portrait of
some statesman of half century ago.
There was quaint dignity about the
famous jurist which, withaI, formed
pleasant study for those of the rising
generation present"

FOUND DEAD ON THE PRAIRIE.
Sad Fate of Amelia Olsen at Chicago
The Scene of the Struggle.

Sad Fate of Amelia Olsen at Chicago
The Scene of the Struggle.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, January 16.-The dead
body of Amelia Olsen, good looking
Norwegian girl, aged 10, was discovered
in lot on the corner of Chicago Avenue
and Leavitt Street, this morning by
Charles Flint, of Ashland Avenue. The
corpse was removed by the patrol
wagon to the home OF the
girls parents. at $50 Thomas Street.
Miss Olsen was a seamstress and worked
for Miss Emma Carlson, dress maker.
There was an open prairie IN the locality
where the body was found and 1t is sup
posed that while going home last even
ing she was seized by some men,
dragged to an out-of-the-way place,
strangled, outraged and abandoned.
There were no marks of violence on the
body, except at the throat, around which
her veil was tightly drawn. There were
no evidences of q struggle at
the spot where the body was dis
covered. An empty liquor flask was
found near by. The girls clothes were
drawn up about her waist, leaving her
person exposed, but there were no evil
dences of rough treatment on her person.
From the position of the body it was
evident that she had been dragged a
considerable distance. The police have
no clue as to who perpetrated the
foul outrage. They say that a
number of hard characters live about
the corner of Chicago Avenue and Lea
witt Street, but suspicion points to no
particular person. Although there were
no signs of a struggle having taken
place where the body was found, yet
there are marks of scuf1e at the nearest
sidewalk. The girl had lover, but no
suspicion attaches to him. The
driver of a West Chicago Avenue car
that went up at o'clock last evening
say that girl answering to the descrip-
ton of Miss Olsen got off the car at
Leavitt Street. The driver of the 9:52
car says that Miss OIsen's mother and
sister came to look for her on his car,
being evidently alarmed by her failure
to return home at her usual hour. The
autopsy on the body of the murdered
girl was held late this afternoon by DR..
RIuthardt

Fiction and Divorce.
From the New York Mail and Express.l

A shrewd New England theologian
once intimated that sour bread is the
chief cause of conjugal infelicity, but
DR.. W. NJ, Taylor, of the Broadway
Tabernacle, said from the pulpit on
Sunday that novels which give a heroic
glamour to lascivious characters have
far more to do in filing the divorce
courts than is commonly supposed.
Multifar1ous forces are evidently work.
ing in modern society for the separation
of those who have bound themselves to-
gether by the most solemn of human
contracts, and the frequency of divorce
has become so alarming that throughout
the nation there is earnest inquiry as to
how the evil may be abated. An at
tempt to establish national marriage and
divorce laws is urged by many who
ought to know that there is no consti-
tutional ground for such statutes, SO that
an amendment to the constitution would
be required to compass the result at
which they aim. Numerous other re-
formers are endeavoring to secure the
adoption of uniform marriage and di-
vorce laws by all the states, and the
success of their scheme is much to be
desired.
But legislation alone cannot remove
the matrimonial ills which now find ex-
