EDUCATED WOMEN.
DoesTheir Learning Decrease Their Mat
rimonial Chances,

Eihoniai CtAfHccSt
The discovery has lately been made
that but a small per cent Of the women
who have graduated from colleges in
this country are married. and the
question of the effect of college learning
upon domestic life seems about to be
as gravely discussed as was the now
dead one of its effect upon feminine
health. The Vassar catalogue is tho
text oftenest quoted, but Vassar is only
one college, and it is better to take tho
register of the Associated Collegiate
Alumnn, which contains the names Of
659 women, graduates of the Ii lead
ing women's colleges and co-cducation-
al colleges in this country, OF these
women, III are married, less than ~
per cent of the whole. Any extended
personal acquaintance with educated
women, as with educated men, shows
that the emotional nature tends to
grow with the cultivation of the intel
lectual, but at the same time to be-
come less hasty and uncontrolled.
Feelings are deeper, but based more
upon sound judgment. Partly for this
reason, and partly because the college
graduate is necessarily not a very
young girl, reckless marriages, or
marriages in which the woman is
totally imposed upon as to the charac-
ter of her love, are particularly I'M
known among them. Again, personal
acquaintance can give but one answer
to the question whether college life re-
places the domestic disposition in wom-
en- by ambition; and that is, that on
the contrary the quiet aud earnest
pursuits of college develop to
unusual strength in them the taste
and fitness for home life and for
the occupations and companiOnship OF
a happy marriage; that any influence
toward the losing of domesticity and
drying up of unselfish affection through
a students ambition seems to be in
finitesimal as compared with the same
influences through the ambitions OF
society and display, which the student
escapes
But this very disposition toward re-
fined home life and worthy companion

their choice of a companion, and would
seem by that much to lessen the prob
ability OF their marrying. The ability
to "get along" without marriage, pro-
vided none that is for its own sake de
sirable offers, seems, in actual obser-
walton, to give full effect to this
fastidiousness. 1t seems evident, too,
that many men dread or dislike
the idea of college women; but we
doubt If this affects their opportunities
of marriage perceptibly, for it regu-
lates itself-the men who seek their
society are the ones who do not like col
lege women; and in any case, so far as
we have been able to observe, the dis
like is far more to college women in
general than to Portia or Aspasia in
particular, and does not seem to inter-
fere especially with falling in love
with her. 1t is common enough to see
intellectual men choosing wives of lit
tie mind or knowledge; but it is also
common to see them. WHOM older,

The Happy Thought Put Into Pract
nv 4. nefroff Mother.

by Detroit Mother.
A Detroit lady, whose friends live
abroad, had her baby's picture taken
and sent dozen cabinet-sized photo
graphs to Europe. Before they went
she showed them to friends in this
city.
''How perfectly lovelyr' they all ex-
claimed; lit looks like fancy picture.
What beautiful child! l should loUe
to see himn'
This from friends who either had not
seen the baby or had forgotten how he
looked.
One lady, whose senses were quite
acute, was reedy with a startling sug-
gestion.
THAT child isn't yours, Mrs. -;
the photographer has made a mistake.
Why, he doesn't look bit like your
little Harry"
"H-u-s-h," said the quick-witted
mother, Its all right. You know
Harry's hair isn't long enough TO make
pretty bangs, and he really hasn't a
nice nose, and / borrowed a baby just
his size a real little beauty, isn't he
and he has all of Harry's clothes on,
and his little ring. Aren't the EN-
broideries lovely? Isn't that little cap
just too sweet?n
But are you really going to send
this picture away?n
''Of course / am. They'll never
know the difference, and isn't he
lovely? Why, Harry wouldn't take
half as pretty n picture, though he is a
darling. But you know want some
thing extra nice to send over there"
If this happy thought should include
grown people it win not be half q bad
idea. Then professional beauties
could sit for homely women and the
science of photography would have
achieved a lasting fame. After all, it
is generally the likeness in a picture
that condemns it.-Detr0u Free Press.

JUSTICE IN MEXICO.
A system Not Totally Unlike That OF the
Famous Judge Lynch.

Famous Judge Lynch.
Another important criminal trial in
Mexico has ended in the speedy execu-
ton of seven robbers. 1t was a very
short trial, the procedure was exceed
ingly simple, and the judgment can not
be set aside on appeal. These are
great merits and the system of juris-
prudence that gives such results can
not be bad one. and therefore, though
we indulge ourselves i'm many preju-
dices against things Mexican, we must
concede that they are ahead even Ofthe
great State Of New Jersey in their
speedy defense of life and property. The
Mexican tribunal which tried this case
was apparently strickly military, per
haps a sergeant and half a dozen files
of men. 1t is not common for men of
this sort to be learned in the law; but
this is an advantage that Mexico pos
sessess over other countries, and is due
in part to the exceeding simplicity OF
the law applied in this case. which is
called the LEY de fuegO." or law Of fire.
Originally this was perhaps the ordea
dered away and got itself confused with
that primitive infiictioh OF penalties
known as running the gauntlet The
accused persons were not compelled &c
handle red-hot iron nor promenade
barefoot through miscellaneous assert
ment of heated hardware, as was done
formerly in Spain. Indeed the soldiers
handled all the fire, and had it in their
guns. The eulprits were given the
chance 20 run while the soldiers opened
fire on them. with the understanding
that il the soldiers missed any man,
and that man got away, il should be
held a. proved that that man was in
nocent; but every body should be re-
garded as convicted who was brought
down by the soldiers fire. They were
all found guilty. It will be noticed
that this system is not totally unlike
that of the famous Judge Lynch.-N
