Women Who Won't Marry.
phlttspnrg Dispatch.

Men marry the rattle brains Of So
ciety. They choose the pretty-good.
for nothing girls, for that is the kind
they like; they run after and marry
the liveliest girl at q picnic w a ball,
Though she may be holy terror" at
home they run after the belle and the
heiress, though she may be selfish
and spoiled, SILLY; they pass by the
jewels and take "the snide, for that
is all they know, and then, like
Adam. they blame the fruits of their
own folly on the woman. Twas ever
thus.
But, brethren we wish to break it
to you gently-there are women right
here at home who have their own
money to use as they please, who
have their own pleasant homes and
congenial occupations, who can, if
fancy seizes them, pack their trunks
and take a iaunt TO New Orleans,
slip off to Washington for few
weeks, take in the cream of New
York, or the balmy air of Florida; in
short, have royal time in any way
they choose, who call no man master,
and who wouldn't marry the best
laan that ever stepped in shoe leath-
err
This viii be shock to you, beloved
brethren, bat it is none the less true.
Women find pleasure and comfort
and happiness outside of matrimony.
1t is not hatteriug 70 man, but there is
a growing dissemination to marriage
among women. They are growing
more critical as ta the measure of a
man. He Will have to come up to a
nebler, higher standard, or in the

A CIeyer Dog.


The best authenticated Of all the sto-

public Mr. Arthur T. Reade, Score
tary to the Charing- Cross Hospital,
writes to the London Times to say that
Mt half-past 10 o'clock, one night a
rough terrier barked outside the door
of the hospital till he was let in.
When admitted he limped in, squatted
on the mat, and held up an injured
fore paw The house-surgeon came,
whereupon the dog followed him
at once across the hall to the accident
room, jumped at once, when invited to
do so, on the chair, and again held out
the injured paw II was dressed, when
the dog licked the hand of the surgeon
and loudly parked its gratitude till it
had to be turned out, showing great re-
luctance to leave Mr.. Bellamy the
house-surgeon, confirms this state
ment, and adds that Thursday the dog
came like any other out-patient to have
his paw dressed 1t is not known to

Saltpeter in Nevada.
New York Times

The saltpeter beds OF Nevada are
far better situated for the development
OF their deposits than the inter region
of South America, which is a desert
entirely devoid of water and all vege-
table life, and where the development
can be accomplished only by sur
mounting many difficulties; the pro
visions of the miners have TO be
transported from long distances; the
water supply for all purposes is con =
densed from the ocean water and
carried to the inter fields, while fuel
has TO be procured from the noun
tains in the South of Chill, In Ne
vada we are told, the saltpeter deposits
are in the vicinity of a rich farming
country with an abundant supply Of
water and food close at hand, and
the inter can be furnished at prices
considerably cheaper than that for
which the South American article
can be obtained.

Lassoing wild Elephants.

As soon as the Jungle had been to
some extent chopped and tramped
down, so as to give clear field for ac-
ton, half dozen tame elephants with
mahootS and noozers, were sent in to
nooze the wild elephants. The nooz-
ers managed with great skill the throw
inc of stout rope made into a loop
as the cowboy uses his lariat so as to
catch each elephant in turn by a hind
leo The rope would be made fast at
the other end to one of the Tune ele-
plants. As soon as the tame brute would
feel that a catch had been made, it
would start out at a cool, deliberate
and unconcerned gait in the direction
of the grand stand, where tyingup was
done, dragging behind it the captured
animal An elephant hauled along
backward by one extended hind leg is
at a serious disadvantage. 1t cannot
claw and hold on to the ground with
any great effect. About all it can do
is to below, and that it does energetic
ally and woefuly. Whenever one
made any great effort at resistance q
second tame elephant followed along,
pushing with his trunk the struggling
animal. Then each beast was tied up,
and some of them grew quite furious
One little fellow after being tied up for
twenty-four hours, was still so mad
about it that he would grow almost
frantic with rage whenever anybody
went near him. In two days more
work the whole herd had been tied up,
and the job OF subjugation began.
