AMarried woman,s VIII,

must call careful attention to the
fact-sometimes unfortunately over
lokcd-that If woman makes will
before marriage, the fact of her mar
riage makes the will worthless. This
is the common law rule, and still pre-
walls in the large majority Of states. In
Vermont and perhaps some others, mar
riagcs does not necessarily invalidate
woman's will, but unless one is certain
of the point in her own state, she should
attend to the matter by making a new
will Immediately after marriage, and,
if possible. securing her husbands con-
sent to it written and signed on the doc
ument itself. This consent is not every
where necessary. but is always wise: in
Massachusetts it is absolutely neces-
sary if by its terms the will cuts off any
claim which our law gives to Wild
over on the estate of his wife. mans
will, at common law and in the major
ity Of states now, is not invalidated by
his subsequent marriage alone. but if a
child is born the concurrence of the
two events makes his will also worth

THE DowRY QUESTION.

Good Health and the Ability to Save Money
the Best Gift wife Can Bring.
England is agitating itself over our
dowry question. Shall or shall not an
American maid be turned over to her
husband with naught but 1.-The pres
sents," her trousseau and a fve-dollar
bill for a dowry? Shall she and must
she have certain sum placed upon her
head ere she be considered eligible for
the matrimonial market?
When the question of money steps in
the old American independence idea of
true love steps out, and the whole sys-
TEN of marriage and giving in marriage
becomes un-Americanized. TO the
marriage is a nice thing, and when the
maiden brings wealth to her husband
it is a mighty nice and mighty COM
Portable thing for all concerned. But
to that same orthodox American mind
the consideration of money fades into
nothingness when compared with the
weightier one of love.
Unless She were possessed of physical
and intellectual sympathy for the man
whom she was about to marry, our reg
ulation American girl would feel as il
she had been bought for a price, or bar
tered for the dowry which had been set
upon her.
Sooner than place herself voluntarily
into such state of affairs our true blue
girl would skip off in secret with the
man of her choice and work her fingers
to the bone to keep the wolf and sheriff
from the door.
"But could not true love and dowry
travel together?" asked our English
cousins.
They could--but they seldom do.

Entomologists have determined that
The severity Of winters is not destruc-
live to insect life. Larvae may be frozen
stiff and yet they will revive with the
return Of warmth. Dumblcbees and

even more tenacious Of life. Wacht-

bc subjected to cold 40 degrees below
zero. be powdered with u mortar, and
yet be capable of transmitting diseases.
