HARDER TO MARRY

In recent discussion among some of
the young ladies about to conclude
their education, so far as it is given in
the public school system of this city, of
the question of adding q four years
course at one of the universities. a
symposium worthy of the Twilight club
was had. The relations of advanced
culture to the life and influence of
women in society were considered in
many and varied phases. The most
notable and effective point adverse to
the collegiate course was made by a
bright and vivacious member of the
party. She said she had thought of
going to a neighboring college, and
would enjoy the course, but had decided
against it for the reason that she had
discovered that the higher education
was virtual barrier to matrlmony.
Figures were adduced from maya
zine article showing that in the
case of the New England col
leges the records kept show that
in the twelve years after gradu-
alton, the limit of the matrimonial Pc
Rod, virtually less than One-fourth of
the educated ladies married: and in
cases where the education had been III
strictly female institutions, without
mixture of the sexes, only 14.S per cent
married before passing into the desue-
tude of the spinster state. Some figures
of New York institutions also were
given of a very similar character. 1t
was shown that this was not chiefly due
to the lack of marrying men, as those
who stopped short of the higher course
had at least so per cent more chances Of
marrying. The young lady was frank
to say that she believed in matrimony,
and was Old-fashiOned enough to hold
that 1t was, in theory at least, the ideal
state for woman. She was. not specially
SolcitouS about her own fate in this con-
nection, but did not propose to diminish
her chances by the loss Of four years.
She was ambitious. IL she went
through the higher course she would
try to keep up with the male intelIects.
Her observation was that men
were slow to marry woman who
seemed to be brighter and know more
than they did. Then the higher educa-
ton was apt to give the girls a distaSte
for domestic and household duties.
Even the few years in the high school
had in her own case made the hume
sphere less acceptable to her. Others
of the company insisted that the young
woman of to-day should fit herself for
self-assertion and support in life, with
out regard to marriage. That might be
accepted as a possible incident, but
should not be sought; or, at least,
should not be regarded as essential to
usefulness OF happiness. Still, it is in
timated that the number who will take
the further course was considerably

A DOMESTIC pRO.J,EM

The question of domestic help is one
of the social problems that is constantly
rising up in the home economy and
becoming more perplexing. The theory
that the influx of girls from the hardy
population of Northern Europe had
made made it pleasant and easy Of Solu-
tionin the cities of the Northwest is
being dissipated. The earlier supplies
drifted into matrimony, and their places
are not made good Somehow it is be
coming vastly easier for the culinary
expert to find home of her own and
fair sort of husband, than it is for the
girl who dislikes the kitchen role so
much that she will take harder life and
poorer wages in some Office or shop
work A girl who has reputation of
being good cook and industrious
and nice about the house can have
the pick of large class of Well-to-
do husbands, even if her face is
not gotten up for professional
beauty. Down in Florida there has
been an organization formed to import
a batch of thousand girls if they can
get past the labor contract rulings. The
Philadelphia ladies are trying to solve
the difficulty by club named the New
Century, that proposes to pick the
kernel and adjust things to the situa-
tion 1t has made up purse of $1,000

CoMING TO sT. PAUL.


The Paris exposition perhaps had
something to do with the popular fad of
going or sending somebody to Europe
as compliment. 1t is to be hoped the
| Chicago fair will help reverse the situa-
ton ana make it the thing to follow the
sun. Old world people could help out
] their education very largely in this way.
Churches and societies compliment and
afford recreation for some favorite or
devoted toiler in their interest by max
| ing up purse to send him abroad. The
newspapers. in their proverbial I'M
selishness, broaden this kindly act into
| the full orb of philanthrophy. A st.
Louis daily, and perhaps others, allow
the public to elect the party to enjoy
| the beneficence. One of the selected is
to be lady clerk who has the favor of
| the voters. No particular objection ap-
pears to the trip to Europe, as it
is in the fashion, and there is
real enjoyment and inspiration in-a
| swift run over the ocean in one of those
mighty steamers. But one phase of
this recent disposition is worthy of
special commentator. Some of the
Wide-awake and enterprising local pa
pers in Illinois and near the lower Mis-
SiSSippi have a modest substitute or inn
provement on the Old-World tour. This
is trip to St. Paul during the sessions
of the National Educational association
in July. One Of these is the Inteli-
gencer, at EdWardsville, Ill. 1t speaks
Of the gathering as one that teachers in
all parts of the country will wish to
attend, and proposes to pay the fare and
expenses of two teachers from that
county. The local public is to select
the two. all persons III the county hav-
ing votes. The picture held UP of the
attractions Of such an excursion is not
colored, but plain truth, as the follow
ing paragraph from it will indicate:
aside from the Importance of an in
terest in the meeting, the trip to st. Paul
will be most delightful summer eX-
cursion. The trip up the Mississippi
river is an interesting voyage, and the
scenery along the banks is said to sur
pass in beauty and variety the famous
Rhine. st. Paul is one of the most
picturesque cities in the world. 1t is
jobbing center and manufacturing
point. 1t has business blocks which are
striking for architectural excellence.
The drives along the bonlevards are
beautiful. The numerous lakes i'll close
proximity, among which are White Bear
and Minnetonka, are noted. Only a few
miles distant are the falls of which
LoNGFELLow sang so sWeetIy the
famous Minnehaha"
That is all familiar TO local residents,
but it is we'll to look through alien eyes
at times and catch new realiZations.
When the common disposition to 90
somewhere for enjoyment is operative,
it is well enough to have in mind the
fact that Nature has done some of her
best and most artistic work in this re-
gion, and made it unsurpassed as a re-
sort for health and pleasure in the sum-

TESTING THE PRESIDENT.

1t comes from semi-official sources at
Washington that the president has sig
nif1ed his intention to approve any sill
yer bill that congress may pass. While
he prefers the WINDOW plan. he will as
sent to any other that congress may
agree upon. In that barrenness of
everything which partakes of the nat
ure of policy, it is really gratifying to
observe that the president has at length
lost sight of himself long enough to per-
ceive that the people, acting through
their representatives, have some rights
which merit executive respect.
Undoubtedly the old-time influences
of Wall street have been brought to
bear upon the HARRISON administra-
ton in the hope of checking all legisa-
ton in the direction of free coinage.
This influence manifested itself in the
formulation of the WINDOW bill. which
was only cleverly devised scheme to
demonetiZe silver under the plea of
creating market for silver bullion.
But when the majority party in con-
greSS broke away from the president
and his minister of finance and pre-
scented more honest as we'll as more
liberal silver scheme, the Wall street
magnateS took comfort in the thought
that the executive veto was their final
safeguard. Now that this illusion is
dispelled, we are at a loss to know what
scheme the gold bugs will devise to
head off the silver agitation. Perhaps
they may rely upon the magic power of
gold when applied to the pockets of
a half-doZen or more senators who will
have to be bought off.
AT all events, we are anxious to have
congress pass liberal silver bill. Just to
put President HARRISON to the test, to
determine whether or not he has the
moral courage to resist the blandish-
ments of Wall street, and the independ-
ence of character to assert himself in
opposition to the leaders of his own
party. He has the reputation of being
bull-headed man, but bulIheadedness
doesn't always mean independence or
loyalty to convictions. If congress will
pass such silver bill as Senator S TEw-
ART will fix up, then the president will
have chance to demonstrate whether
he is with OF against the people.

SUNDAY CHATTER.
will Be a Cool Summer

: 1t is of considerable interest to many
people to know whether the summer is
to be cool or excessively warm. There
has been no philosophy developed that
is much OF uccess in iocaliZing the ex-
tremes of temperatures. but if it is
shown from extended records that the
aggregate of heat in the twelve months
is substantially the same in each year.
the summer must necessarily be cool
one on the average. Sergeant Dunn
says this is the fact. He is the New
York signal service officer who told the
New Orleans people about the flood
that came afterwards, and is credited
as about the best authority in weather
matters. He finds that the average of
the seasons is rarely more than five
degrees apart. Since Jan. there has
been gain of us degrees of heat over
the average of similar periods in former
years. This surplus must be diffused
ever the summer, and will make the av-
erage cool period unless the record is
broken and all confidence in nature lost.
Last summer was cool, after Eaiid win

that the usual rule will be followed this

sized pickerel hook. This hook he
baited nicely with small but choice
piece of grounding meat. He placed
this carefully on the ground in hollow
and hid himself behind stump few
feet away, holding the other end OF the
Irvine in his hand. The Irvine was COW
cred with dead leaves and twigs.
West waited an hour and then saw n
big red fellow stealing down the slope
on the other side of the hollow, trailing
a splendid brush The fox steathily ap-
preached the piece of meat by circling
around it, each circle drawing him
nearer and nearer. Finally he bounced
upon 1t, seized it in his mouth and started
away with it. He had taken but step
or two when West gave the line strong
jerk.
The hook caught in the fox's Jaw.
and, in spite of the ground and lofty
tumbling he INDUCED in, he couldn't
tear the hook loose or break the line.
West managed to tangle the foX's legs
in the Irvine until the animal was as
helpless as fly in a spiders web. He
then killed the fox with a club. Since
then West has captured three foxes III
