odd lut Good.

Do not despise good article of fur
niture, says an exchange, because you
are told that there is somethi < a little
newer. Fashion has its vagaries. but
it is only the nouveaux richie who are
absolutely controlled by them. In
many of the best houses of the country
you will find little or no change in the
furnishing, although every article
saeaks of past generation. In Gen.
Logan's house in Washington, there is
not a room which does not recall DAYS
long since gone by, although the house
itself, an old fashioned one, is a recent
purchase. Indeed, Mrs. Logau's good
taste decided that modern styles would
not accord with the place, and she
spared no pains in finding the antique.
You may be sure, however, that every
article is good and substantial. They
were made in the beginning for long
wear, not to be changed as one
changes the style of the dress. And
there is no more comfortable, home
than this of the Logan's. Even those
who have spent thousands of dollars
where they have spent one, look with
admiration upon the quaint old man
sioa with its quaint old interior.
No house in these days can be con-
siCered quite complete without some
books and pictures. but these are
things not to be bought in haste or in
discriminatory. More than anything
else they speak of the merchandising
of the heads of the household. Ii is
not so much their value, but it is what
they say in their silent yet eloquent
way, of the intelligence. the refinement,
and the purity of thought which dicta-
ted their selection. One fine engrav-
ing is worth more than a dozen tawdry
daubs. Yet in these days good ,aste
may be gratiied in this direction with
out the expenditure of great deal OF
money.

Dissenter, and has done much by gifts
of money, as we'll as by speeches and
by personal influence, to promote

ity. Mr.. Morley early found in Parlia-

MIR. HowelI's Theory.

Mr.. Howell is advancing, through one
of his characters, a new theory about
marriages. 1t is that women should
wed with men who are not quite up to
them in intellectual development, and
one reason is, that woman has less
chance to grow after marriage than a
man, and another that she is more like
ly to lead him upward when the SUI
periorlty is on her side, while, when the
contrary is the case, he will grow away
from her, and all chance of intellectual
companionship is gone forever. That
is all very well from mans point of
view; but not so pleasant from a wo-
man s. And how about the old-time
legend of the pine and the oak? How
is superior woman TO ''look up to"
or clean upon her inferior husband?
And why is there not as much danger
that she may grow hopelessly away
from him, and even more, since the
animal part of her nature is much
weaker than that of man? Mr. How
ellis theory viii not hold water.
The better and truer way to make
happiness and contentment sure is to
have no very marked intellectual su-
periOrity upon either side. Ia nine
cases out of ten, it viii result in dis
satisfaction, unless there are qualities
of fascination that counterbalance all
intellectual attractions. Men are too
apt to look entirely to physical beauty
with little thought for what will pro-
duce the good comradeship into
which their later marriage wears should
settle. while women are more prone to
be won by strength, and often the
mere pleasure of being wooed brings
an affirmative answer to the questions,
so far as her future life is concerned.
An equality, physical, mental, and
moral, gives a much greater chance
Tor harmonious union than the con-
trary order of things. More especially
Is this true in these days, when women
are learning to feel that their place is
by the side of their husbands, and not
at their feet.
The same character that discOurseS
about this matter is also made 20 utter
the strongest argument against the
contamination of a marriage simply
because there has been an engagement.
1t is true that be+rothal should not
be entered into lightly or carelessly.
1t should be regarded as sacred and
not to be broken for trifing causes, but
there can be no greater mistake than
to take marriage vows simply because
it is expected. As soon as either party
becomes convinced that the sentiment
that prompted the entrance into the
engagement was o delusion, that mo-
meut the bond should be severed.
Neither can realize the best possibil-
ties of life, even if the one remains
true to the original feeling, and the
evils entailed by such a union are be-
yond computation. Better do what
may seem wrong now, than to commit
a far greater one by persevering when
love is dead in the heart.-T0led0

Crime n Europe.

London News: From the new
volume published ry the Italian Di-
rector of Statistics which contains
data from 1873 to 5S4. the following
figures are taken respecting murder
and manslaughter III the following
countries. The proportion OF individu-
ais condemned is fOI every 100, 900 per-
sons: In Italy, SIP; France. l56-
Belgium, 1.78; Germany. Ill; Great
Britain, 0.60; Austria, 224; Hungary.
6.09; Spain, 1888. Thus Italy, Spain.
and Hungary have the unenviable pre-
cedencc in murder. In Offenses against
morality Italy shows more favorably.
The proportion of persons condemned
for such otfenses is: In Belgium, 1J.II
in every 100000 inhabitants; Germany.
1403; France. 9.77; Austria, 918;
Hungary, 6.52; Italy, 81; England,
la; Spain, 0.9j. Germany occupies
the first place in robbery, the proper
tons being in round numbers: Ger
many. 222; Italy, l54; Great Britain,
147; Belgium, 12S; France, 112:-
Hungary, Y; Austria, 60; Spain, SO.
Taking all crimes together Germany is
at the top of the scale aud England at
the bottom. The volume, which is
compiled with care. shows that crimes
in Italy have sensibly diminished since
1880 The total number of condemna-
tons has decreased in ten wears from
1873 to 1884 from 69, 023 to 60. 543. and
the proportion for every 10000 in
habitants is reduced from p. 40 to 20. e.

a Cape BRETON Mermaid.

The fishermen of Gabarus, Cape Bre-
ton, have been excited over the appear
anco of a mermaid, seen in the waters
by some fishermen a few days ago.
While Mr.. Bagnall, accompanied by
several fisherman, was out in a boat,
they observed floating on the surface
of the water few yards from the
boat what they supposed to be a
corpse. Approaching il for the pur-
pose of taking it ashore for burial, they
observed it to move, when to their
great surprise it turned around in a
sitting position and looked at them and
disappeared A few moments after it
appeared On the surface and again
looked toward them, after which it
disappeared altogether. The face,
head, shoulders, and arms resembled
those of human being, but the lower
extremities had the appearance of a
fish. The back of its head was covered
with long, dark hair resembling a
herse's name. The arms were shaped
like human beings, except that the
fingers of one hand were very long.
The color of the skin was not unlike a
human being. There is no doubt that
the mysterious stranger is what is
known as mermaid. and the first one
ever seen in Cape Breton waters
