IS MARRIAGE populARq ?
The Question Answered by n Man who

The Question Answered by n Man who
knows What He Is Talking About.
a suspicion seems to be gaining cur
rencv in some quarters that the old, old
bank of love has failed, says the Bur-
lington Free Press. Because here and
there some private brokers' establish
ment has gone under the people are bc-
ginning to get fdgety, forsooth, about
the great international banking System
of sentiment.
Nonsense!
And yet, let us see. Marriage is get
ting TO be unpopular with the Mormons
and bigamists. Certainly they are an
unhappy lot, these fellows. We have
never yet met q man who married on
the strength OF divorce, or who had two
or three wives living in different parts
of the country, who was really cheer
full and contented individual.
Marriage in moderation is good
thing, but too much Of it-well, too
much of it is certainly apt to make a
man sneaking, misanthropic, round
shouldered and bald.
Marriage is also getting to be unpop-
ular with those who have had too little
of it. The bachelors and old maids
don't think much Of marriage-accord-
ing to their own showing Neither OF
them know any thing about it, OF
course, but that don't make any differ
ence. 1t simply gives the ill-disposea
Imagination big swing, and yet old
bachelors and old maids think that they
have q sort of oracular right to denounce
the marriage relation-just as much
right, perhaps. as the fox has to sit and
look up at grapes soured by distance.
Marriage is also getting to be unpopu-
lar with the men who collect statistics
of crime. 1t takes many a job out OK
their hands. and gives them more timo
than they relish to rule blank columns
and speculate on the degeneracy OF
primitive institutions.
Finally, marriage is getting to be un
popular with the anarchist, the UNDER
taker, the black-leg, the thug, tho
cynic, the hermit and the man who
would like to see tho world rolling
swiftly down to destruction like big
football. Yes, marriage certainly is am
unpopular institution with some per-
sons, but it is an institution that the
world is going to try to put up with foe
a little while longer at least.

Auburn Hair Has the ClIE

is the color above all Others in favor in
the world of fashion. The shade is
very becoming especially to women
with pretty shades Of complexion, olive
or fair, as the case may be. The au-
burn has the warm, bright glow of the
sun, without the unbecoming tendency
OF golden hair to exaggerate features
and make them look so much larger
Auburn hair is now in greater demand
than blonde hair ever was, and is gain
ing in favor daily. OF course, Patti is
the originator of the present style.

PRECIOUS METALS.

Conditions on Which Uncle Sam isuys Old
Gold and Silver.
II one has old gold and silver that no
desires to dispose of he can not sell 1t to
the Government at Washington, but
must send 1t to some assay office. How
ever, the assay Office will not buy it un-
less 1t is worth ut least 500, and the
chances are that an ordinary person will
not have as much as that to get rid Of in
lump. He will then, of course, 20 to
ono Of the dealers, found in every city,
who make business Of buying second
hand silver and gold. 1t is q curious
trade, and Q member of the craft has
told the jewelers. Weekly some curious
stories about it. l}1f 1st
II buy any thing that has gold or sill
YER in It," he said. "All is fish that
comes to my net-watches and chains,
rings and brooches, cuff and collar but
tons, spoons, forks, baby mugs and what
not. The value is computed at A cents
carat per pennyweight. That is not
/, difficult to understand. Suppose the
lump weighs 10 pennyweights and is
ascertained to be 90 carats. / multi
ply the number of carats by the number
Of pennyweights, which in this case
gives 200, SO I pay 200 times cents, or
80, for the old gold. Then send the
metal by express to the Philadelphia
assay Office and 1t sends me check in
return for its value.
"But, as said, can not sell less
than 500 worth at time, and SO for
ward lot together. 1t is good in
vestment, for tho assay Office pays me
about 10 per cent. more for the gold
than bought it for. There is no risk
and the money is quickly turned over.
"The Government does not buy silver;
but chunks of metal sent to the assay
Office are returned in the shape Of pure
silver bars, which are always salable in
tho market. Uncle Sam charges per
cent for the work. The reason for the
rule against buying less than 500 worth
OF gold Is that the Government doesn't
desire to redeem old watches and rings
for every body who cares to bring it
wornout jewelry."

THIRTY YEARS SILENT.
Mrs. MerriHeid's Adherence to the Vow
Provoked by Her Husband.

Provoked by Her Husband.
The death of Mrs. Susan y. Mcrritield
revives interest in ono of the most pe-
culiar cases ever known of vow or
silence made and kept thirty years, says
an Americus (Ga.) dispatch to the Phil
adelphia Times. In 1850 Mrs. Merit
field, who, it is said, was a little woman
of peculiarly bright and CHEEKY dis
position, was telling her husband OF
some occurrence, when he requested her
in a very surly manner to be silent,
adding that the sound of her voice was
hateful to him.
1t seems that Mr.. Merriicld, while a
good husband in every other way, was
in the habit of venting his displeasuro
when aroused by outside matters by i'll
humor with his wife, whose good nature
usually passed his testiness by, but on
this occasion she replied that as it was
hateful to him he should never hear
her voice again. And he never did, nor
did any other person ever hear it, for in
spite OF her husbands remorse and
remonstrances from friends and rel-
atives, Mrs Merrifield kept her
VOW, though she continued TO ace
the part Of good wife and
mother, fulfilling every duty scrupulous-
ly. She even bore three children TO her
husband after this vow was taken.
When communication was absolutely
necessary with those about her she used
slate, but reduced language OF signs ts
such perfection in governing her house
hold and children that ii was but seldom
that this slate was resorted to.
1t was thought that when her husband
died she would resume the use OF her
speech, but while she sat by his dying
bed, devoted and loving to the last, in
answer to his supplications that sho
speak but word to him, wrote on tho
slate with all the evidences of grief: II
can not, can not! God forgive and help
me. | can not"' But whether it was
that she found it impossible to break
her will and her vow, or that long dis
use had affected her organs so that sho
really could not use them, could not bo
arrived at but her family inclined to,
the latter belief, for it is said that while
on her own denth-bed she made distinct

children, dying with the seal of silence
