display, which the student escapes. but thls very disposition toward refined home life and worthy companionship makes them more fastidious in their choice of 0 companion, and would seem by that much to lessen the probability of their marrying. The ability to ''get alongn without marriage, provided none that is for its own sake desirable offers, seems, in actual observation, to give full effect to this fastidiousness.
 It 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 regulates itself the men who seek their society are the ones who do like college women; and in any case, so far as we have been able to observe, the dislike is far more to college women in general than to Portia or Aspasia in par ticular, and does not seem to interfere es- pecially with falling in love with her. It is common enough to see intellectual men choosing wives of little mind or knowledge; but it is also common to see them, when older weiirying of the insufficient companion shi9, and consciously or uncensciously need ing the friendship of intellectual men and women outside to supplement it. It seemed, therefore, question whether it is desirable to society that the grade of marriages should be raised, at some cost to their number Overland Monthly.

Conntrr Peop1e of IndIa.

One can scarcely realize, when passing through much of this country, that it is thickly peopled. Onr sees large areas of cul- 5ivated lands but apparently no houses. But every now and then, half hidden among trees, one sees a mud wall ten to twelve feet high and covering, say, from 100 feet to 200 or 500 feet square. This mud wall con- tains a farm hamlet or village, and has within it little novels and COW yards for a dozen, twenty, or more families. Women and children constantly ask for ''backshishn (presents). They do it most good naturedly, and never get angry when we drive them off with a good humored thrust from our canes About the large cities the old ruins cover many miles more or less cultivated. Along the roads in these children by the dozen ran by our carriage crying ''baclshishn in all the tones possible to youngsters from or 4 years old up to 10 or more. Boys half naked, girls with rings in their ears and noses, and bracelets and anklets jingling. All have beautiful teeth, and grin and laugh and pat their stomachs to assure us they are quite empty. None are so poor that they do not put rings and bracelets on the girls. had a woman beg of me today, and yet she must have had on dozen or more of these orna- ments Much of the wealth of Q family is thus carried on the females. When necessity punches they sell or pawn them. The women are thus the bankers of the men. Carter Harrison in Chicago Mail

rrnnsition stnte of Monlan.

Women are in a transition state, which is developing new and stronger womanly vir- tues, but which has its own temptations and dangers. The whole condition of things has altered for women within the past thirty years. The home seclusioR snd protection of women, which is still -dITg to as the ideal, has become, in point of fact, simple itnpoS- sibility to fully third of the feminine popu- lation in thickly settled centers. A con stantly increasing proportion of women have no home except such as they make for them selves, and men who object to the sterner features of their rough and ready struggle with the world cannot judge them fairly until they sec them in the shelters they do contrive for themselves and others, and wit ness with their own eyes the softer feminine virtues still intact, while the character has been rounded out and gained strength and dignity that could have come to it through no easier experience That is the opportu- nity.
 The danger lies in the increasing emulation of the single woman's, the self dependent
 Foman's, success by the woman, married or unmarried, who has home duties. The self sacrifice of the daughter. the wife or the mother is the highest plane of womanhood still But the new possibilities of self sup port are exhilarating to the point of intexi- cation to many women. The wife whose husband grudges money for home expenses is aGlow with determination to make it for herself. I have seen cases where she left home and children to earn her own bread and butter sooner than bear with the occa- sional unreasonableness in money matters of the average young husband. Daughters are impatient of staying with the mother and baby brothers and sisters. They must write, they must go into business; they repudiate actual home needs. A little time will help all. Such change in the position of women could not be effected without ebullition. They have been going through period of rapid evolution, and will come out of it greatly advantaged. When they are steady on their feet again they will value rightly what they have gained, and be ready to do their share of the worlds work when called upon for it, and not insist upon trying when they have no call-New York Mail and Ex- press

Negroes of New Orleans.

'Ia negroes are instinctively polite, and,
 ',rcoie families, especially, many have at

 apt to be at least as long and their floral
 3ates as profuse as in similar assemblages

Negligence of Health.

American women of all classes are, as Q rule, sinfully negligent Of some of the duties which pertain to health, prominent among which is the one just referred to-exercise in the open air. The excuse that their many cares engross them, and that they, in conse- quence, have but little opportunity for leav- ing their homes, is scarcely sufficient The number who actually cannot enjoy each day an hours outing must be small, indeed, even among the class forced to work the hardest Not only do many women fail in this respect in their duty to themselves, but their young children suffer in consequence of the same neolect. From one weeks end to another during the winter not few of them keep their little ones in overloaded rooms-if not huddled around the kitchen stove-and the result is we find them, as spring approaches, weak, puny and ailing. In such families colds coughs, sore throats and the like are common affections.
 There is scarcely day during the coldest season when even the baby cannot be safely taken ont of doors. Mothers should under stand that upon the daily enjoyment of fresh and open air depends, in great degree, the health of their little ones, as well as them selves: it is, in fact absolutely indispensable to the well being of all. It is earnestly hoped that the growing interest in physical culture which is possessing the young of both sexes, will extend to the mothers of that 'stay at homen class, who certainly need it's influence as much as any other.-BOston Herald.

oTai,Iens of Today.

 They wear fannels, too, at whose thick ness their grandmOthers and great grand mothers would have shuddered, and without whose thickness they themselves would go shuddering. They bathe seven times, not to say SG5 times, more frequently and thor oughly than the departed damsels did; and they cit what they want, and not what some male individual Gdoring the ethereal, thinks is about enough for them to eat and remain delicate Enc dear departed ones believed that pretty pallor and interesting peaked ness and pipe stem belts were the chief re- luirements of personal appearance; the modern girls believe that firm muscle, deep chests, free motion, and ruddy color are the only wear-Harper's Bazar.

A pEMoRALIzED DOG CORPSE
The Joke Played on French Military
 Men by an English Officer.

The Joke Played on Trench Military
 Men by an English Officer.
 An amusing story is told ill connection with an English officer, who recently passed through Belfort, a well known fortress in France. Provided with letters of introduc- ton to the officer in command, he was treated with great distinction, and among other interesting experiments he was invited to witness the efficiency of ''the dog corps" their training quarters being at that strong hold. The dogs are huge animals, mainly of the staghound and collie breed, crossed with the English bull dog. To strangers they are very ferocious, and every day they are shown soldiers in German uniform and are expected to fly at them, being at first withheld by a strong chain. This lesson being thoroughly learned the dogs are taken to the outposts near one of the small redoubts that environ the city, and each one is attached to senti- ncl. Sometimes a sham German creeps up of saunters along The dogs fly after him with such zest that, as rule, the soldier has o take to the nearest tree for safety.
 The English officer appeared to be much leased with the result, but was very sccp- .cal when the Frenchmen claimed that they 5uld send the dogs from the outpost to ad- 'anced patrols with messages and receive an .aswer in due course of time. The English an doubted the statement to such a point , b lead to an animated discussion, and -aSer for Q punch and cigars, the expert .1sct to be made on the following morning. .,e French officers came to the rendezvous carts especially constructed for the trans o.tation of the dogs and wrote their mes .lscs and attached them to the collar in -lall poclletbook. The Englishman looked il with quizzical smile and appeared highly :nused. when, under instructions, the dogs .irted off at run to various points on the ivanced line where were stationed the ?trols.
 Tho hounds ran true for couple of hun d yards, when, to the astonishment of the '-cIlchmen, they all broke off at tangent ,i.l began running round in large circle in state of furious excitement. The instruct us went to investigate the matter, but could e no reason for the dogs strange move 'c;its. After some trouble and delay they aIe brought back to the starting point and ..e again released, with similar result.

 "Only one person should go with child when it is to be photographed, said camera artist. 'Instead, several Ieople are apt to accompany it, ? he continue l.

Three or four persons in the room only serve to distract the youngsters atten- tion and lessen the chances of obtaining a good picture
 ''No attempt should be made to get child photographed in any but bright weather. The middle of the day sthe best time for sitting. Children should always wear light colored frocks when sitting for pictures. Light tones harmcnize with their complex ions and photograph in less time than darker hues. Navy blue, seal brown, dark green, wine color, maroon and cardinal all take dark. Light green, brown, scarlet, gray and purple take light. Rose color, lavender, yellow, and pale blue nearly white. In white material the cream tint is more desira- ble than pure white. Black silk or velvet take as dark as ink.
 ''It is as easy to get good pictures of chil- treii GB of grown folks fl people would attire the little ones in suitable colors and simple style, not make them nervous before they reach the studio and leave them entirely to the operator after they are there. Grown people would secure more satisfactory pict ures of themselves, too, if they'd trust more to the operators judgment and less to their own. People ought to think about the de- tails of their dress and hair arrangement be- fore they come in front of the camera As rule the more simple the attire and coiffure the more pleasing and natural the picture. Proofs should never be examined in bright light, as they fade so rapidly. It's no guide to the photographer to send back two or three proofs with the message finish from the darkest one,' or the ightest one,' for they arc all liable to be of the same shade when they reach him.

THE ROCKIES.
Around the camp fre,s glow,

Around the camp fires glow,
 Wild, dreamy, clear yet low, Starts the gay song from crag to crag ascending Along the mountains bold,
 Through still airs keen and cold. Deep voices with the rivers music blending. By laughing waves beset
 The shores vexed pebbles fret, While the bright stream, it's flashing spunne di viding,
 In nipples plays awhile
 Around each rocky isle, Then slips away into the shadows gliding. Now, as our flown words fade
 Through murl1y glen and glade, A thrillish hush on every stirred heart falling, Comes silent calm profound,
 Save for some forest sound The gales sigh, wolfs cry, or, in amorouscalling The lonely elk's low note,
 Now near and now remote Like weird eeolian tones in distance dying. Sweet as a lover's Iute,
 Soft as 0 low breathed flute, The cooing echoes from the rocks replying. Who would not ever be
 Thus careless, wild and free, All life by day, through long nights soundly sleeping,
 As trustingIy we rest
 On loving Natures breast, Famed by the night winds wings about us sweep ing?
 How lovely is nights noon,
 Lit by the silver moon Through leafy waving branches softly gleaming! While the calm stars above,
 Like bright eyes looking. love, Gaze pensive down upon us fondly dreaming.

What to Tcnoh ChiIdren,

There is an old saying here in Scotland that ''Wc should so far before we bring home aI ill tale of ourselves" I do not think it wise for Q mother to relate the bad ne5ses" of her children, especially are these very modifying for other little ones. Nothing can be moro foolish than the indis- criminate praise sometimes bestowed on children by their parents, their faults made evidence of "smartness" and what of good l 2ols they may possess magniied ad nausea to themselves and others.
 Mothers, teach your children to deserve .commendatiCa. but not for its own sake. Commend them for faults overcome, for perseverance in distasteful work, for acts of self-denial, but do not overdo it. Teach them that truth, honesty, unselfishness, are right and natural, bringing their own pleas ure ill their exercise not qualities to be ac .r.o,l by much painful sacrifice, and severe qualification of natural instincts.
 CIil,tfen should be early taught to amuse si'olisalves. It is hard upon mother who
