Why. Plain Girls Marry.

A lady who had seen much of the world was asked on one occa- sion why plain girls often got mar
 ried sooner than handsome ones; to which she replied that it was owing mainly to the tact of the plain girls, and the vanity and
 want of tact on the part of men
 ''How Go you make that. oatP' askel gentleman. "In this way, 3 answered the lady: ''The plain girls fatter the men, and so please their van ty, while the Handsome ones wait to be fattered by the men, who haven't the tact to do it. " There have been cases, however, in which the situation here has been rev ersed, and even ugly men have succeeded in making themselves so agreeable to young ladies as to be come their accepted suitors Here Is case in point: When Sheridan first met his second wife, who was tken Miss o ,le, years of dissipa- tion had sadly disfgured his once handsome features, and only hi, brilliant eyes were left to redeem 5 nose and cheeks too purple in hue for beauty. "What a friyht!" ex claimed Miss O5le, loud enough for hIm to hear. Instead of being annoyed by tie remark, Sheridan at once engaged fer in conversation pat forth all his powers of fascina- ton, and resolved to make her not only reverse her opinion, but actu, ally fail in love with him. At their second meetiu5 she thought him u5- Iy, but certainly fascinating. A Week or TWO afterwards he had so far succeeded in his design that she ,iecI,reI she could not live without him. Her father refaseI his con sent unless Sheridan could settle Sl5,OO upon her, and in his usual miraculous way he found the money. Star.

Choosing a sweetheart.

Choose your weetheart carefully wisely and tenderly, my dear girls, says U writer in the Ladies' Home Journal. Remalnber he is to be more than even. this to you some day-he Is to be your husband, for surely you are not one of the girls who nave a sweetheart here, ana one there, and gives little love t, tais one and little to that one, until when the real one appears the perfect bloom Is gone from the peach and she cannot give him what he offers h r. You girls know very quickly when man means more than ordinary friendship! for you. You have an instinct that tells you that this big, good-Iooking fellow has come sweet-hearting, and that that Is the time for vou to study him little bit. Thiuk out if his temper and yours are certain to gree well to5ether; think out if bls tastes and yours are alike, or if they can grow to be so, for you know, little women, if you want tu be happy in your married life, you must learn the great and wonderful virtae of aIaptibiIity. You must choose your sweetheart as you do a new gown. so that he Mill wear well; but you want him for longer than a winter; he last fast through the long summer day and throu the winter ones, and before yoI put your hand in his and tel him that you are willing to Ii ght out the bat tlo of life together, think it all over well and remember that you are choosing your sweetheart not for a day or year but for all through life and please god, if you love each other enough, for after death.

The decline in beef values in England last week is quite a seri- ous affair for this country, but is simply what i2,ht have been ex- pected from the rush of cattle on tat market. A reaction will soon come if receipts are cut of. That country Is short Of cattle and its consumption is large. The losses sustained by exporters will uatur- ally cause lessening of shipments for time, at least, as losses are greater than the amount of freight paid. Better pay for the room con traUted for without using 1t and let values come back than to continue excessive shipments. Thirty days ought to regulate this matter. Owners of beef steers should hold back supplies for time so as to give the home market a chance to become stimulated. d.-Stockman.

The fact that the Supreme Court of Maine, in a
test case made up for the purpose by Republican
politicians. has 1nvaldated the naturalization
papers issued by this court [Biddeford police
court on the ground that 1t has no Clerk within
the meaning and intent Of the Federal statute y
because its Clerk Is called Recorder, shows how
far partisanship OF the lowest kiEd may sway
even Judges upon the highest bench OF that
State.
The above is from the New York Times, a
paper which processes to possess all the
Mugwump virtues of independence, truth
fulness and fairness 1t seems an additional
proof of the fact which the public long ago
discovered that Mugwump paper can
beat the party paper out of sight in misrep-
resentation and unfairness. The Supreme
Court of Maine has never taken the ground
that the Biddeford Municipal Court has no
clerk within the meaning and
Intent Of the federal statute be-
cause Its clerk is called recorder. What the
Supreme Court has decided is that the Bid
deford Municipal Court does not have clerk
within the meaning of the federal statute. A
recorder is not a clerk, and the Times could
readily discern it il it would take
the trouble to examine the statute which
creates that court That act makes 1t the
duty Of the judge to keep the records of the
court, and he must certify to the records be-
fore they are legal evidence in the courts.
The Judge is the clerk. Now as long ago as
1854 it was decided by the Federal Judges r.
B. Curtis and Sprague, in the Circuit Court
of Massachusetts, that court in which the
judge was clerk was not competent to nat.
uralize under the Federal statute. Judge
Webb Of the United States District Court for
the Maine district, followed that decision in
the Biddeford case, and the Maine Supreme
Court has also asserted its correctness.
