The new marriage law In Pennsylvania has
been approved by the governor and goes into
enect on the first Of October. 1t provides that
no person can be married without a license
from the clerk of the orphanss court of the
county In which the marriage is to take place
and minors must deposit with the clerk the
consent of their parents or guardians The
checks to hasty and easy marriage contem-
plated by the law are in the interest of sound
morals, and should show good fruit In fewer
divorce cases and domestic scandals.
This Is emphatically Harvard year, as her
students have carried all before them on land

Waste of Bullets In War.

Our readers may have seen or
heard the statement that it takes a
soldiers weight in lead to kill him in
battle, and they may have consider
ed it to be merely a rhetorical hy-
perbole, suggested by the obvious
fact that comparatively few out of
the whole number of shots in war
take effect. 1t seems, however, that
the assertion, which originated with
the famous Marshal SAKE, was prov
e1 by Cassendi, after careful math-
ematical calculation, TO be no exag-
geration, and, with all the improve
ments that have been made in mus
kets aud the art of using them effec-
lively, it is still not far from the
truth. At the battle of Solferino a
com parison of the number of shots
fred or the Austrian side with the
number of killed and wounded on
the part of the enemy, shows that
seven hundred bullets were expend-
ed for each man wounded, and 4, 200
for each one killed. Now, as the
average weight of the oall used was
thirty grams, it must have required
at least 100 Kilograms, or about 277
pounds of lead to kill a man. In
the Franco-Prussian war the great
slaughter caused by the needlegun
among the French shows how much
superior that firearm was to the
Austrian carbine; but about 1900
shots were fired then to accomplish
the destruction of single soldier.
1t is found in practice that great
majority of the wasted bullets go
over the heads of the enemy; hence
resort is sometimes had to to the ex-
pedient of pressing down, by means
Of staff. the muskets of a platoon
about to fire, sergeant being de-
tailed for the service. When the
shots are aimed at an isolated SOL
dier, the chances against him are, OF
course, greater; but even then the
waste of lead is sometimes enor-
nous. In the Franco-P Prussian war
according to an officer who witness
ed the performance, q French com
pany of chasseurs fired for quarter
OF an hour at large German
mounted sentry posted on hillock
about three hundred yards off. Full
four hundred shots we're fred before
either man or horse was hit. A re-
ally expert marksman would prob
ably have pickd off the man at the
first attempt, or certainly at the sec
ond.

Hints for Young Ladies.


Do be natural poor diamond is
better than a good imitation.
Do be retieent; the world at large
has no interest in your private af-
fairs.
Do avoid causes of irritation in
your family circle: reflect that home
Is the place to be agreeable
Do observe: the faculty of obser-
vation well cultivated, makes prac-
tical men and women.
Do try and be sensible it is not
particular sign OF superiority to
talk like fool.
Do be ready in time Tor church /:
if you do not respect yourself suffi-
ciently to be punctual, respect the
feelings of other people.
Do, sometimes at least, allow
your mother to know better than
you do; she was educated before you
were born.
Do be truthful do avoid exagger-
alton if you mean mile, say a
mile. and not a mile and half; if
you mean one, say one, and Dot a
dozen.
Do be contented martyrs" are
detestable; a cheerful, happy spirit
is infectious you can carry it about
with you like sunny atmosphere.
Do try and be accurate not eniy
for your own sake. but for the sake
of your sex the ineapaeity of the
female mind for accuracy is stand
ard argument against the equality
of the sexes.
1 Do avoid whispering; it is as bad
as giggling both are to be condemn
ed there is no excuse for either enc
of them; if you have anything to
say, say it; if you have not. do hold
your tongue altogether; silence Is
golden.
4 Do cultivate the habit of listen
ing to Others: it viii make you an
invaluable member OF society TO say
nothing OF the advantages it will DC
to you when YOU marry every man
likes to talk about himself; good
listener makes delightful wife.

Among the anecdotes illustrative
OF General Frank L. Blair's iron
nerve and anhinching courage relat-
ed in the ST Louis Republican is the
following.
The campaign Of 1868 was attend
ed with a great deal of sporadic kill
ing and bIoodshed, and IL was u
dangerous thing for Democrat to
speak as Blair and Phelps spoke
throughout the State. In one OF the
Southwestern towns a coterie of Re-
publicans swore that Frank p. Blair
should not make a speech IN that
town. On the night in question the
courthouse was filed with an angry,
excited crowd, through which Gen
eral Blair rapidly made his way to
the 'front.' Arriving at the stand be
drew with his right hand a navy re-
vol-er and laid It down, saying:
Fellow Citizens-I have come 10
talk to you of the political issues
now agitating the country"
Here he drew from his left hip
pocket another revolver, and placed
it as carefully on the desk, eontinu-
ing without interruption
And | propose to address you
without fear or faver.n
Thence be plunged into his argu-
ment, hurting the bitterest inyectives
against certain measures, but max
ing no reference to his revolvers.
He spoke nearly two hours amid
the proioundest silence.

a War Reminfscence.

Over In a jersey town at Mount
Holly Is the grave Of patience Bar
mum. Patience Barnum was a
Quaker girl and heroine, and no
grave Is more entitled to the recogni-
ton of decoration in this section.
She gave her life for the Union. No
strength or charm can be added to
the simple tale of her sacrifice. A
young physician in Philadelphia
was betrothed to Patience Barnum
when the war broke out, and their
wedding day was fixed. He also
was Quaker, and was enthusiast
cally loyal, and be was among the
foremost to volunteer his service in
defence OF the Union. Months went
by, and he was Ni,h his regiment
in the thickest of the most bitter
fights. One day news came North
that skirmish had left some of his
company dead and others wounded,
and that be was among the missing.
" hen the dispatch reached the girl
who had been voting to become his
wife, her whole life changed as in
the twinkling of an eye, and she
suddenly developed into mature
woman. The next news that came
convinced all the young soldiers
friends that be had been killed. But
Patience did not sit idly and help
lesslv down to wall. Before even
her closest relatives were aware of If,
she had volunteered for the war.
She found her place in an ambu-
lance corps. and they who loved her
at the North lost sight of her Who'll
~ ere many weeks went by. She
was far South she was in the van
Of the regiment with which her hero
bad marched away. There came a
furious fight one night and a rebel
town was captured-a town with a
prison pen-a Libby on a small
scale. When victory was no longer
prOblematical, but assured to the
Union troops, blazing fagots were
thrown upon the roof of the crisp
and seasoned old prison, and the
Union soldiers confined there SEEM
ed doomed. But the rebels were
routed in time, and half suffocated
by smoke, the prisoners were final
ly brought cut to the open air, TO
their brethren, and to sight of the
old flag oree more. In the throng
4 of emaciated beings saved. was that
young Philadeiphian whom long
ago Patience Barnum's heart had
given up as lost Foremost among
those 10 meet him was Patience
Barnum. How she came to the
front SO quickly not one of those ex-
cited soldiers knew. But she was
there, and there was ecstacy in two
bosoms IN that moment, but only for
a moment. Down from a neighbor-
ing woods came the bullet of some
still defiant rebel. Its victim was
Patience Bsrnum. Many tear

Still unwedded, the man she loved
