1t suspects everybody else; 1t Is a
country where the maids are not per-
mitted to know without what they
learn from Within, and the wives do
not inform within what they learn
without. The worst of it is that this
corrupt condition, being in the hands
of a restless, artistic, vivacious people,
is communicating the surrounding
nations. Thus hypocrisy, the formal
verisinlilitude of conformity of one
faith and innocence in one marriage,
has deveured France. --Goh in the
Cincinnati Enquirer.
Very Mixed Relationship.
There have been a good many sup
positions marriages between persons
nearly related, in order to show the
involved relationship which would be
caused by such marriages. A mar
'riage which took place at Eatontown
on Sunday mixes up relationship
about as oddly as the queerest hypo-
thetical marriage so far heard from.
The bride in this ease was Miss Ella
Clayton, and the groom was Albert
Phillips. The groom is fifty4siK years
old and the bride two months short OF
fourteen years of age.
A few years ago Cyrenius Clayton,
the father of the bride, who was a
widower, married daughter of Mr..
Phillips, the groom of Sunday. By
the marriage of Mr.. Clayton's daughter
on Sunday to the father of his wife,
Ella Clayton, the bride of Sunday, be-
comes her fathers stepmother-in-law.
Mr.. Phillips daughter, who married
Mr.. Clayton some years ago, also be-
comes her fathers step-mother-in-
law. Each Of the men is the father
in-law of the other, and each of the
women Is the stepmother of the other.
Each man becomes his daughters
step-son, and each OF the women be-
ome the granddaughter of herself,
and also becomes her own grand
mother. There are many other com
plicated relationships arising from
this marriage, and when children are
born to either couple the relationship
will become four times as complicated.
The marriage between Mr.. Phillips
and Miss Clayton was performed by
the Rev. DIR. franklin, of Shrewsbury.
1t is said that the Eatontown clergy
men refused to perform the marriage.
Deacon Eseck Wolcott, of the Second
Advent Church, to which all the par
ties belong. not only refused to per-
form the ceremony, but demonstrated
against the marriage. Mr.. Phillips
daughters, who are at home, also OPP
posed the marriage.-AS6ugy Paqb

A Bright Farm Girl.
Miss Jennie Slack, aged sixteen
.. L. AH
years, residing in the blue grass region
of Iowa, lear Nillisca, has this season
planted and cultivated thirty-five
acres of corn, besides milking six COWS
night and morning, and helping in
other work about the farm and house
hold. The corn Us in splendid condi-
ton for a big crop, and the young
lady who raised it is said to be fine
looking, intelligent, and none the
worse for the hard work she had done
for her invalid father, who was unable
to pay a hired man to do it himself.
Such girls make good helpnaeets for
worthy and industrious young men,

Pray hold your breath yet a mo-
ment. The votaries of folly have not
as yet followed their Egyptian proto-
type to the length of melting down
their gems.
On the contrary, they cling to them
so tenaciously that they have adopted
the fad of wearing them, even when
they lie down by the surf and take a
sun bath on the beach. They get the
credit OF prudence, too.
La former seasons robberies of bath
houses have been numerous. This
year a sagacious belle, with a pint of
Jewels, evolved the idea that her gems
would be safer on her person than If
left in the bathroom, or even given
into the custody of the bathhouse
keeper. She might have left them in
the safe in the hotel Office, to be sure,
but in charity it may be assumed that
this simple idea never entered her
head. In any event, the spectacle
that she presented on the sands, with
the limitations of herred-balred bath
ing dress, eked out in spleffdor at
least, with diamonds and sapphires,
struck the rest of femininity as SO att
tractive that in just about two days
she had a score of companions
Any of these heavy breakers that
| plunge upon the steep beach would
make short work of a diamond neck
lace, on sapphire earrings, or a tur-
! quoise bracelet, if it were given half
a chance, but it isn't. The lovely
creatures are wise in their day, and
the furthest any of them will dare go
in her coquetry with Neptune is to
| permit the playful foam to run up
over her dainty bathing slippers. But
they make a picturesque exhibition
| posing on the sands, with gems spark
ling in their ears and round then
threats and on their fingers. They
know the value of their stage, too
and are making the most of N.-Nea
