Why They Married,

REASON GIVEN BY NUMBER OF BEN
EDIcTs IN A NEW YORK TOWN.
From Tid-Bits.
We lately sent out postal
cards to the married men of a
small town in western New York
with the inquiry, "Why did
you marry" We give a few of
the responses:
That's what I've been trying
for eleven years to find out.
Married to get even with her
mother, but never have"
Because ] was too lazy to
work"
Because Sarah told me that
i've other young men had pro-
posed to her."
"Ihe old man thought eight
years courtin' was almost long
enough
II was lonesome and melan-
choly, and wanted some one to
make me lively. N. B.-She
makes me very lively"
II was tired O. buying ice
cream and candies and going to
theaters and church, and wanted
a RESI-. Have saved money"
"Please don't stir me up.n
"Beca 1se | thought she was
one alolg thousand now /
sometimes think she is thous-
and among one"
Because II did not have the
exper ence / have now"
"The governor was going to
give me his foot, so / took his
daughter hand"

per than a breach-of-promise

"That's the same fool ques-
ton that my friends and neigh

Frost in Midsummer.

1t seems to lie quito settled that 1856
shall be marked all throughout by cx-
ccptlonal outburSts of cold temperature.
1t began with remarkable and pro-
longcd fall of the thermometer which
affected every part Of the British Islands.
1t has continued month after month be
low tho mean for the season, and already
there have appeared prcmonitory symp.
toms of the coming winter in the form
OF severe frost in the north of Scot
land. This frost is not only rare, it is
absolutely without a parallel in the
month OF July. There does not appear
to be single instance of the thcrmOmc-
ter being noted below the freezing point
III any part of Scotland in July previous
to this year. In the carefully kept reg
listers OF temperature at CullOdcn, which
extend over the greater part of this cen
tnry, the lowest point touched by the
thermometer in July was 80 degrees, on
the 10Th Of July, 1875. But, in 1886, Mt
the sea level at Wick, OH the Doth of
July the thermometer touched 30 de-
grces, and inland throughout the county
OF Caithncss even lower readings arc re-
ported. This fall of the thermometer in
the North of Scotland is evidently con-
nected with general and most rcmarka-
ble cold wave, which includes within its
sweep pevcry part of the British Islands. In
London the thermometer only touched
the average maximum temperature
for July on three days between July 10
and 30, the three days being the 10Th,
2lst and ODD, and on the 2Sth the maxi
mum recorded was only 81 degrees, the
lowest maximum for any day in July in
the course Of several ycars.-Pall Mall

Thread from MILK Weed.

American inquistivcncss and ingcnui-
ty united have produced thread made
from the blossom of the common milk
weed, which has the consistency and
tcnaclty of imported flax or linen thread,
and is produced at much less cost
The fibre is long, easily cardcd, and may
be readily adapted to spinning upon an
ordinary flax spinner. It has the
SmOothncss and lustrc Of silk, rendering
1t valuable for sewing machine use. The
weed is common throughout this com-
try, but grows proluscly at the South
The material costs nothing for cultiva-
ton, and the gathering is as chcaply
done as that of cotton.--Dry Goods

Tobacco In France.

Some interesting particulars are pub
lishcd by Nj. Paul Leroy Bcaulicu in the
Economist Francais with regard 10 the
manufacture and consumption Of tobacco
III Franco. He quotes official figures,
which show that while the quantity of
tobacco grown in France itself was about
l0,200 tons in 1850, it has been gradually
increasing until it is now nearly double
that quantity, while the revenue which
tho State derives from it hes increased
from 'e3,55O,OO0 to nearly ,Cl3, 200, 600.
In other words, while the quantity of
tobacco grown has only doubled, the
profits OF tho State, or, in other words,
OF the manufacturers, have nearly quad
ruplcd. The great increase in profit is
explained by NJ. Paul Leroy -Brnulieu
upon the ground that the expense of
manufacturing an additional quantity OF
tobacco is not anything like that Of The
first establishment Of plant and mntcriul.
Tho cultivation and manufacture Of to.
bacco has been government monopoly
since 1914, and, with the exception of 4
brief interval during the Revolution, has
remained so over since. In this conucc-
ton, M. Paul Leroy -BcAulicu gives the
following figures, showing the quantity
OF tobacco consumed in the different
countries of Europe, and the rate Der
100 inhabitants is, according to him, us
follows: Spain, ITO pounds; Italy, 12S
pounds; Great Britain, 1873 pounds;
Russin, lS2 pounds; Hungary, 2O1'
pounds; Denmark, 22l pounds; Norway,
800 pounds; Austria, 273 pounds; Ger
many. 336 pounds; Holland, IlS pounds;
and Belgium, $50 pounds. In other
words, while in Spain little more than
one pound per head is consumed, nearly
double that quantity is consumed in
France, three times as much i'll Germany,
four times rs much in Holland, and five
times as much in Belgium.

The Railways of the World.

The lines Of railways in the five divisions
of the earth cost, in round numbers, SIG,
600, ,000,0 900; and would, according to
Baron BOlb, reach eight times round the
globe, although it is but little over have a
century since the first railway worked bv
steam was opened between Darlington and
Stockton, Sept. q, 1925, and between
Manchester and Liverpool, Sept. Is, 1880.
1t is shown that in France, previous to the
existence of railways, there was one pas.
sengcr in every 335 600 killed, and one out
OF every 10000 wounded; whereas between
1875 and 1875, there was but one in 5, 178,-
$50 killed, and one IT, $50, $50 wounded: so
that we may infer that the tendency TO nc
cidents. is yearly diminishing. Railway
travelling in England is attended with
greater risk than any other country in
Europe. A French statistician observes
thatif a person were to live continually in
a railway carriage, and spend all his time
IN railway travelling, the chances of his
dying from railway accident would not
occur till nc was 800 years old.

THE LATE Dn. HAYNE,
A South Carolinian Who Lived on Ills WIro's

[From the Philadelphia Times !

Years ago Julia Dean, q very pretty and
engaging actress, was great favorite.in all

mircrs in her train. Having mind and char

She was somewhat ambitious socially and
accepted him, having no idea that gentle

one who had heard his vaporingS would
hayc believed him other than the cmbodi-
mcnt Of the most sensitive honor and most
majestic chivalry. When he pressed her
to hasten the wedding day she gave us Il
reason for dclcrring it that she had certain
theatrical engagements to fill, and that she
was anxious to complete these before
changing hcrn0mc. But he was so persistent
that she yielded ut last, and was delighted
that his love was stronger than his much
vauntcd pride. She regarded it as an cX-
traordinary concession that he should be
willing to permit his wife, known to be
such before the world, to act even for a
few months. When her engagements had
expired he showed, to her surprise, no OBJ
lection to her entering into now ones. lIcl
