Probably the best time for the
average civilized woman 10 marry
would be any age between twcnty-four
and thirty-six. 1t is not said that no
woman should marry earlier or later
than either OF these ages; but youth
and health and vigor are ordinarily at
their highest perfection between these
two periods. Very early marriages
arc seldom desirable for girls, and that
for many reasons. The brain Is inn
mature, tho reason Is feeble. and the
character Is uniformed. The consid-
erations which would prompt girl TO
marry at seventeen would in many
cases have very little weight with her

what Men Ike In Women.

There Is a certain something, which,
for want Of better name. is called
womanliness. and il Is that which

men like in women.
Men like. in the first place,
amiability in women.
They like pleasant appearance.
They like the doing of little things

They like disposition 10 speak

They like knowledge OF how TO dress
well, which, by-the-bye, doesn't mean
conspicuously. Men are most at
tracted by good material. plain
draperies and quiet colors; not by
snowy colors or designs.
They like intelligence, but they pre-
fer that the heart be stronger than the
brain.
They like a compauion--a woman
who has sufficient knowledge OF the
world and its ways 10 talk well with
them. who Is interested in their lives
and their plans and in their hopes;
who knows how TO give a cheering
word, or 10 listen quietly and by n

TARIFF PRINCIPLES.

Why the Mckinley Bill Will Furnish No
Relief TO the People at Large.
One fact in practical economics should
be fully understood, and that is that
where tariff system is tho chief
source of nations revenue and is
properly arranged it will of necessity
give all needed protection to the in
dustries of country. In order to do
this, however, a few essential points
must be carefully observed:
l. All raw material that can not be
raised in the country should be free.
2. Raw material raised within the
country should mover have more than
enough duty to counteract the him
ORANGES in our own production.
s. The tariff should be as small as
possible upon things that enter into
family living.
4.~The highest taxes should always be
upon luxuries and the lowest upon COM
forts.
Observe these initial rules and it be.
comes an easy matter to so appor-
tion the revenue as to afford Incl
dental protection to ali American in
dustries. Unfortunately the tariffs of
this country are so arranged as to ignore
every one of these foundation principles.
There is large list Of free material,
it is true, but in most cases they are
upon things which do not enter largely
into our own productions. The single
prominent exception is hides, and this
it is proposed to remedy by the impo-
sition of duty, as proposed in the Nc
Kinley bill. The Pennsylvania manu-.
facturers say: "Give us free ores and we
will sell our iron and steel in Liver.
pool" The woolen manufacturers say
give us free wool and dye stuffs and we
can compete with England and Ger
many in the markets of the world.
With free wool and dye stuffs American
carpets can be mado as cheaply as they
are in Europe. Most of these wools
that are desired free are of kinds that
are not raised in this country and the
dye stuffs are not raised here at all.
The present tariff is square in the in
terest of the manufacturer and against
those OF the people at large. The Nc
Kinley bill will furnish no relief-Chi.
