No young woman, having proper
regard for her own subsequent health
or that of her offspring, should marry
before she has arrived at maturity-in
this country usually between 20 and
% years of age. A man reaches his
full development later-betwecn % and
80. There may very well be differ
ence of 10 years between husband and
wife. The former ought to be in his
prime at 40, whereas the latter at the
same age is commonly-well, not quite
as fresh looking as she was. And
what husband is there whose wife is
still dear to him but desires that she
should prolong her good looks into his
old age ? A too early marriage, by
bringing in its train ill-health, soon
causes young wife to look carcworn.
The power to be spiritual by interest
ing in other ways may exist, but still
good looks never fail to exercise pow
erful sway over the household, and a
woman, even when married, should be
careful to retain her bloom and come
illness, if only for her husband.-Phil-

A DOMINO PARTY.
A BOSTON Family Gets an Invita-
siou and Studies the Game.


When one begins to " go into So
ciety" he ought TO have thorough
coaching upon the things that are
done in society. Ii he does not he is
likely to make as odd a mistake as
a suburban gentleman did whose case
has come by accident TO the List
ner's" knowledge. This gentleman
settled himself into the seat with a
friend the other day on the train COM
ing into town and remarked:
"Do you know how to play domi-
noes?"
Well, little"
Wish you'd give me some idea
how it's played. You see, my wife
and have been invited to domino
party next week, aud we don't know
any more about the game than cat
knows about astronomy"
"a domino party, eh? Why, don't
you know that isn't the sort of domi-
noes that is meant?"
"No! What is it them"
"Why, a domino party is a kind OF
masked ball, and the dominoes are
the masks that the people wear"
"Shol You don't tell me !"
The idea OF fifty or sixty people as
sembled at an evening party. and al
gravely engaged in playing dominoes
was SO funny to the person who hao
given this information that he con
tinued to smile all the way into town

A Charity Patients IncurabIe Pas
sion for an Insane Girl,

The words Disturbing the peace )"
written opposite the name of w. A.
Webster on the police station register,
convey to one who reads them not the
remotest idea of the wealth of ro-
nance, love, pathos, misery and de-
spair contained in the facts which led
to their inscription. Webster is a
poor, harmless fellow who had the
misfortune OF breaking his arm few
weeks ago. There is no place for him
in the charitable institutions, and be-
ing without means he was sent to the
poor house.
While there he made the acquaint-
ance of Viola Richards, an insane
girl, whose father lives in this city and
is unable to care for his child. What
there was in the girls character TO at
tract a man in his right mind is a
mystery. She was the most demented
person in the house. Despite this fact
Webster fell violently in love with
Viola. He talked to her till he was
husky in language which she seemed
to understand, for when he asked he
hand in marriage she bestowed it with
out condition and seemed happy in
his love. When Webster's arm had
healed, he was told that he must seek
work. With fearful reluctance he tore
himself from the embrace OF his be-
loved, and came to this city to earn
money enough TO begin life upon. He
shoveled coal, ren errands, did any
thing and everything he could to
bridge over the abyss OF poverty
which seemed to yawn between him
and the girl he loved.
Time, frugality and industry added
to his store. Recently the last coin
necessary TO make up the sum which
he regarded as competence fell into
his eager palm.
He had So.
With rapid tread he sought the
poor house and his love. At the door
he met the matron, Mrs. Mahoney, TO
whom he confided the deep secret OF his
soul. His bright dream was lunacy
to her. She forbade him to attempt
to take the girl away. His love turned

the girl; would take her far away
from that wretched place and restore
her to herself Mrs. Mahoney was
obdurate. Webster swore. He stamped,
threatened and swore again. Mrs.
Mahoney sent for the patrol wagon,
and Webster, with the love light of
his eyes dimmed with tears, was taken
to the City Jail He told Judge Burke
the tale OF his love and his woe, but
the Judge would not rejoice with him.
On the other hand, he told him that if
he didn't stop monkeying with the
crazy patients at the poor house he
would send him where bread and
water would be his only comforters;
where his only nocturnal visitors
would be alive, and phantom Violas.
Webster, crushed, awed, Inundated
and lonely, promised that he would
not trouble Viola more. He would 60
to some foreign cline and bury his
sorrow in. The Court told him 10

poor farm. The police think that
Webster is as crazy as his luny love-

CONCERNING NAMES.
They do Make n Difference when
You Run for ONCE.

The Evening Post aims at too high
standard Of journalism to believe
that there is any political point in
calling Senator Chandler Bill"
Nicknames express affection. Sher-
man smiles graciously when the army
boys call him Uncle Billy" and
Sheridan will ever be known as
"Little Phil" Lee was Uncle
Robert, +" while Jackson's bomely and
rather absurd name of Stonewall has
become historical. II takes us back
to crusading times when men were
called the lion-hearted and knights
with the iron hand.
Lincoln was known as Abe.
Honest" his critics used to say, to
distinguish him from the rest of the
party. Buchanan was called Jimmy,
but Jimmy, like Sam, is generally a
term OF familiarity, rather than en-
dearment. Mr.. Blaine's name of Jim
has always inteTfered with his presi-
dency. How much better would be
Aristides. 1t is fortunate that WASH
ington was not, like Tilden, called
Samuel Jones. Think of Samuel
Jones Washington, the father of his
country, or James Gillespie Bona
parte, French Emperor
Cleveland was wise in dropping
Stephen. Steve Cleveland would be
as bad as Andy Johnson. Suppose
in burst of patriotic enthusiasm
Congressman Harvey Watterson, Of
Tennessee, had named his son Pat
rick Henry Watterson Think OF
Paddy Watterson as lord-in-waiting to
Mrs. Cleveland, or anything, in fact
but Alderman from Battery ward.
Mr.. Randall suffers from Sam, which
does very well for hummingbird like
Sunset Cox, but it is hardly up to Mr..
Randall's stature. When we think OF
Mr.. Hill as a candidate for the presi-
dency the inevitable Dave is against
him.
If Senator Chandler had been
called Jefferson or Hamilton, or even
Zachariah, it might have distressed the
Evening Post, but his fame would
have been more secure. There is u
good deal Of material in those old
ilCUIth hdInCb, uiAACoo OANtPt
jeremiah. But Melchisedec, Aaron,
Methuselah, Amos, Isaac = even
Jacob-are safe names, and ladies who
expect to have their sons in the can
vass for the Presidency should select
them.
The question is serious, and should
be discussed by some thoughtful
body OF intelligent ladies like the
members Of the Sorosis. Only re-
fined and unselfish women would
think OF it. A paper by some thought
full, far-seeing member of the Sorosis
on "The Names of Babies With a
View to Their Candidature for the
Presidency" would go far toward
developing wholesome opinion on
what appears to be trivial, but is
really an important question.-N. Y.

The Faithful Dogs OF Dakota.

Many lives have been saved this
very severe Winter in Dakota, where
there have been terrible blizzards, by
the faithfulness of the dogs.
We quote one instance which oc-
Cured near Huron. Mr., Chambers,
with two sons, nine and eleven, went
to water cattle, Mr.. Chambers on foot
and the boys had horse. The father,
seeing indications OF a storm, sent the
oldest boy home. Mr.. Chambers and
Johnny undertook TO drive the cattle
home, but were soon bewildered and
lost. The father made a place for
Johnny in the snow, and wrapped him
up the best he could. Then the father
and St. Bernard dog got into the
snow beside him. Johnny knew his
father was cold, and urged him to go
on to the shelter of trees, but he
would not leave the boy The father
was fast freezing, but conversed with
his son as follows: Now, Johnny,
you pray and l will pray, and then |
know God will take you through all
right" They prayed, and soon after
the father died.
The boy, entire y covered mp except
breathing place through the snow,
laid still. The dog stood sentry, and
afforded the cue by which the bodies
were found by the searching party
Johnny thinks his father had not been
dead half an hour when found
Johnny's feet are slightly frozen, alsc
his fingers, but the doctor thinks he
will be fully restored in short time

Three Husbands.

Ada Montrose, aged 26, proposes
sing young woman, was arraigned in
the Plainfeld, N. j., Police Court re-
Gently, on complaint OF David Curan,
of this city, who charged her with
having three living husbands. Curan
in his complaint alleges that he mar
ried the prisoner at Newark ON No
vember last, and that he lived with
her until February 3, when he learned
that she had two other husbands liv-
ing, number one being John Wilkes
Thomas of Greenpoint, whom she
married ON November II last, and
number two being John Bowman, OF
Plainfeld. The prisoner claimed that

THE FRESHEST Fad.

Time was when girls did emulate
The festive kangaroo;
Twas as the Grecian bend, that gait
Long since gode by, we knew;
But worse than that barbaric style
Is this that's all the talk
The latest fad Of fashion is
A waggle for o walk.
The English stride, the graceful glide.
How rocoeo they arel
The ladies all fall into line
When Paris gives the pas;
The edict has gone forth. Each dame
And damosel bestirs
Her lovely self to learn forthwith
To waggle in her furs.
The springy step that poets sing
Is anything but chic;
A carriage natural and FREE
Would make the French folks sick,
What tho she makes herself guy,
And eke holy show.
A leader Of the ton to-day
Must waggle, don't you know.
What fools these mortals bel And, o,
OF all the fools on earth,
Who so provokes the mind Of man
To diabolie mirth.
As does the fool Of fashion. whom
No ridicule e'er balks,
Who puts monstrous hustle on,
And waggles ~ she walks!

MEN OF MANY WIVES.
Some Curious Things that Carter
Harrison saw I'm SIAM

Polygamy is universal, and one sees
at the theater a man in the dress cir.
Gle Of men, while his wife or wives
and slaves (female) are in the
women's circle. All classes chew the
betel-nut, and at the theater each fam
lily has the betel-pot and spittoon.
The latter is carried by slave, who
hands it to the ladies' when they wish
to spit.
The betel-Dut is astringent and
somewhat intoxicant. 1t is chewed
in connection with a paste made Of
lime, tobacco and pepper leaf. 1t not
only blackens the teeth, but cracks
the lips and so Injuries the gums that
the teeth are caused 10 protrude and
look shaggy.
The King, Princes and common
people are alike slaves to the nasty
habit, and half the women have their
mouths injured, il not abs olutely dis
torted by il.
Otherwise the women are decidedly
comely, having fine forms and good
gaits. Women and men dress so
nearly alike that | could hardly dis
tinguish one from the other for several
days, for all wear short hair.
The dress is cloth called "pan-
oong," about two feet wide, wrapped
around the waist, with one corner
drawn between the legs and caught in
girdle at the waist. This makes a
sort OF flowing trousers, falling to the
knees.
a gentleman wears a coat (sacque)
closely buttoned 10 the neck, with
long stockings and low shoes. The
common man dispenses with the coat,
stockings and shoes. The woman
generally allows the panoong" to
hang like petticoat, and wraps about
her breast girdle, leaving the upper
part of the bosom and shoulders bare,
and none wear shoes. Many Of the
working women dispense with the
girdle entirely. The great mass OF
people, even in the city, go bare-legged
and bare-footed. This is universal in
the country.
The women appeared 10 be indus
trious, and perform much more than

The afternoon of the day preceding
the late terrible accident on the Hud-
son River railroad at Spuyten Duyvel
Pass-well named, indeed-two souls
with but single thought, two hearts
that throbbed AZ one-were linked in
matrimony in the lovely city OF Bing-
hamton. A bridal trip over the Al
bany and Susquehanna railroad to AL
bany and thence to New York was
planned. II was carried ont as far as
going TO Albany, where, in the pala-
tial Delevan, the pride of the Lelands,
they passed the first night Of their
married life.
The next day was spent, until near
noon, in visiting the State Capitol and
looking through its grand apartments.
Then the new-made husband pro-
posed to continue their trip to the
city OF New York, on the Chicago
express, which was TO leave on the
Hudson River road right after their
early dinner hour-at 2 40.
To the surprise Of the husband, the
bride objected to going any further
from home.

:" A dream which woke me this morn
ing, and which cannot drive from my

you, but | feared you would call me a
nervous little thing, and laugh at me. "
81 do not believe in dreams as
omens of good or i'll, my darling" he
said. "Tell Inc your dream, ho%-
ever"
81 dreamed this" she answered.
1--WE were in an elegant palace car
There were fair women and brave
men all around us. One noble-look
ing, gray-haired man spoke to you and
told you your joy carried him back
over thirty years through a series o.
bright memories to his own wedding
day and trip Suddenly we heard Z
crash, then quick as thought the cal
was all ablaze-on fire You clasped
me in your arms, while | saw tina
good old man fall, fainting in the
blaze On every side | heard shrieki
and felt the hot breath OF the flames
come iiercely into our faces. Then

mere dream. But do not go any fur
ther. Stay here week ii YOU desire
but when We travel let it be towar(
home"
My little wife is foolish TO heed 8
dream as ominous," he replied. Blu
her first request shall not be denied
We will keep our room hore, and se'
how we can enjoy life in Albany 10
another day at least"
They did so, and the very mex
morning at breakfast the bride, horror
stricken, read about the very seen,
her dream had pietured-how a nobl
gray-haired man of wealth, "A Senator
had perished in his own car; how tn,
bride Of a day, fair being like her
s'lf, had died in the flames, clasped il
young husbands arms.
" Let us go home-go right hom
