Popularity of Etchings.

Etchings are the demand in the art
world, and for the time, oil, pastel and
other works are cast into the shade by
the number of etchings to be seen in
the stores. Public taste has increased
in this direction, and, of course, the
art trade has turned its attention to
supplying it A dealer must carry a
costly stock and iberality in the dis
play of the number of valuable goods
is the feature of art dealing in these
days. A five thousand dollar case of
unframed etehings is not uncommon
now. Not only has this class of pict-
ures come widely into use for orna-
ment, but the custom of collecting
them for portfolios has grown. Many
of these are now marked artist proofs
of the best workers. American and
foreign. Energetic Eastern concerns
have pushed the business until the
most excellent etchings are now OBJ
tanned. This branch of art has made
mare progress in the last few years
than any other.-.St. Louis Globe-Deaa-

EDUCATED WOMEN.
DoesThsir Learning Decrease Their mat
rimonlal Chances,

DoesThsfr Learning Decrease Their mat
rimonial Chances,
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 the
text oftenest quoted, but Vassar is only
one college, and it is better to take the
register of the Associated Collegiate
Alamne, which contains the names o.
659 women, graduates of the Ia lead
ing women's colleges and co-edueation-
al colleges in this country. OF these
women. III are married, less than "a
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
in which the woman is
totally imposed upon as to the charac-

ter OF her love, are particularly un-
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
happy marriage; that any influence
toward the losing of domesticity and
drying up of unselfish affection through
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
ship makes them more fastidious in
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, when older,
wearying of the insufficient companion
ship, and consciously or unconsciously
seeking the friendship of intellectual
men and women outside to supplement
it.-Orerldnd Monthly.

The Result of Merit.

When anything stands test OF fifty
years among a discriminating people, it is
pretty good evidence that there is merit
somewhere. Few, if any, medicines have
met with such continued success and pop
ularity as has marked the progress of
BRANDRETH's PILLS, which, after trial of
over fifty years, are conceded to be the
safest and most effectual blood purifier,
tonic and Alternative ever introduced to the
public. 49,
That this is the result of merit, and that
BRANDRETH's PILLS perform all that is
claimed for them, is conclusively proved
by the fact that those who -'egard them
with the greatest favor are those who have
used them the longest.
BRANDRETH's PILLS are sold in every
drug and medicine store, either plain or
sugar-coated.

A RECIPE FOR SWEEPING CARPETS. think hear the reader making fun of the above heading, and exclaiming ''The idea of 8 recipe for sweeping a carpet T" But that is just what mean to say. If there is an abomina- ton of domestic life it is the hired girl who will not sweep clean. Of the four girls that have employed in the last twelve years, only one knew how to sweep well. At the three I was always getting provoked for just this notice because I found fault with her for this one thing. After she went I purchased a carpet sweeper and used it myself until maiden number four was engaged. She was Yankee, Vermonter, tall, tough, and ter rible as an army with dish cloths. Her name was Celestia, but she pronounced it like ssSlasher, !" and slasher she was, and is, for still she reigns among us. T. did not fancy her at first, and in my heart of hearts, de
 termined that she would never suit me in the world. She came on Monday and she washed well She ironed on Tuesday and magni6ed the fiat irons. Wednesday I sent her into the parlor to sweep, and in few minutes went down to oversee her; she had set the carpet sweeper on the mant' e-shelf, and was sprinkling my carpet with water that looked as if it had come out of the mop-pail. O, how angry I was. My elegant carpet doused with slops! 70, git out!" Celestia exclaimed, coolly, ssthat won't hurt yer floor hver!" That was too much, and told her to consider herself discharged. "Wal!' she said, and went to her room, while I went to mine. At noon, when went to show John where the damage had been done, to my sur- prise found that that part of the carpet which had been swept was brighter than it had been for months. .sWhat wuz it2" Ce. lestia said, when called on her for an expla- nation. .Why, nothin', only put Pearline in the water to lay the dust. jedgin' it wud clean out of the wash-tub as we'll as in it l'
 And, dear reader, she was right, and that is the recipe.> It works like charm, injures no carpet, and is fne-just try it. 1cM.

THE Rockville Journal suggests the name of E. o. Dimock of Holland for the speaker ship of the house. MT. Dimock is good parliamentarian and could we'll fill the place. The name of John H. Perry of Fairfield is also mentioned. MT. Perry was candidate for speaker in 1881, when Wm. 0. Case was chosen, and has had considerable legislative experience. MT. Dimocks friends, if they act on the suggestion of the Journal, will have good grounds for their advocacy of that gen. tleman's election to the office.

IT seems now probable that West Virginia has elected republican governor Gof-by 8 very slight majority. It is reported that the democrats will contest and demand re-
 ount. If it is true, as reported, however, that in one county, which returns l, ,49O ma jority for Cleveland, there are actually 1,2OO voters, the probability is small of any ques- tioning that will invite an investigator of that matter. The electoral vote of the state, and probably also the legislature, will go to the democrats by slender margin. Two weeks after the election eight southern coun- ties had not yet returned their official count.
