RUSSIAN GIRLS.
They are Made Much of and Marry
YOung-Men in the Majority.

The daughter is a great pet in Rus
sian families, perhaps because there
are generally more sons than daugh'
tiers. Take the younger members OF
the imperial family as an example,
and we find twenty-five grand dukes
and only seven grand duchesses; and
this may be stated to be about the
average proportion in most families.
The necessity for men in the rural
districts as assistants in the agrlcul-
tural labors OF their fathers, has given
rise to a saying: "One son Is no son;
two sons are half a SON; but three
are a whole on"
Notwithstanding the pride and sat
isfaction with which the birth OF a
boy is hailed, the little girl is the a
ling, the object of the tenderest alice
ton aud care of parents and brothers,
not to speak of other adorIng rela-
tives. Much is not expected OF her In
tine way of assistance in the family,
she is INDUCED as far as their means
and circumstances permit. and sne
takes it quietly and as her due. u 1t
is rarely that she does not voluntarily
and tacitly contribute her share in
helping her mother. Her occupations
are much about the saIne as those OF
all European girls, but parish work
in Russia existeth not for her.. Il
cannot have classes at Sunday schools,
as religion is taught by priests or dea-
ons.
1t would be thought quite extra
ordinary and improper were a young
unmarried girl to visit the sick or
pool in towns, but in villages Ii is
sometimes done under the direction
of or grandmamma. She Is
undoubtedly fond of pleasures, likes
to be well dressed. and generally
adores dancing. Music is not the
Russian girls forte, nor is solo sing
ing. Most of the institukas, though
they thoroughly understand the
theory of music, play like a child of
twelve; of course there are excep-
tions. but it is seldom you find a girl
able to play a quadrilie or polka eff
hand.
Girls marry very young III Russia,
and there are very few of those most
estimable individuals called old maids.
There are no colonies for the Russians
to run away to, and statistics show
that the births of boys much exceed
those OF girls.
Long engagements are not approved
of, they seldom last longer than a few
months, during which time the hancee
is the mistress of the house. Her girl
friends assemble to help sew the
dowry, the sewing afternoon gener-
ally ending in a dance after tea, when
the bridegroom drops in with a few
bachelor friends. Another wedding
is thus often arranged, and so on,
little by little, till, like the fifty-one
cards in the game of ''old maid, they
pair off, and one, generally of the
sterner sex, is left--forlorn.-EngEish

M'ADOO ON LAWYERS.
True Legal Light Must BE n shrew
Man of the World.

h True Legal Light Must BE n shrowd
Man of the World.
The Newark Sunday CAL recently adj
dressed to a number OF gentlemen a
conundrum as to what constituted a good
lawyer. This Is the reply received from
ex Congressman McAdoo, Who'll a lawyer
himself and ought to know
The lawyer faculty at its best consists
largely in the ability to get surely aud
quickly. by the application of certain
principles. to the very heart OF a question:
aud in the power to clearly and couvinc-
ingly state its solution. To discern, dis
cover and appropriate the fundamental
principles of the science of law, while re-
curing persevering and wide ranging
study, IS, TO a great extent, II natural
gift. more or less developed in individual
minds.
Constant practice and special education
will enable a man to perform feats Of
dexterity; construct puns, solve conum-
druns. make rhymes, collect for a speci-
hc inquiry the syllabuses of reported law
decisions, but God makes lawyers aud
poets.
In addition to this gift, or faculty, the
everyday successful lawyer must a a
wide and accurate knowledge of men and
things, the result of unremitting study
and observations; his quick. active facul
ties must apply with unerriDg precision
his knowledge and well tested infalible
axioms to the discovery of truth, justice
and equity,i in all the multitudinous diver
sified, tangled affairs of mankind.
In the actual trial Of the cases he must
be able to concentrate ali statements and
direct all inquiry to the essential point or
points in dispute, and to separate false
issues and irrelevant discussions from the
true and central line of investigation with
the unquestioned accuracy of a correct
chemical analysis, and TO skillfully a
shall his facts, use with great discretion
and ability the right TO examine wit
nesses aud dissect, expose or overwhelm
his opponents and correctly estimate the
mental bent, feelings, prejudices. judicial
fairness, or lack thereof, IN the part of
the court or jury, or either of them. He
should be conservative. without being
retrogressive or timid, following prece-
dents, not so much because they are old,
az that they are wise and carry more
weight than contemporary opinion, be-
cause the personality Of their authors, or
the occasion of the origin, is removed
from the frictions and p%artisanship of the
preseLt.
With the true lawyer the great aim is
the attainment Of justice, the discovery of
truth. these ends being best subseryed by
mistaken and courageous fidelity to his
client, whose contention IL is not his
province to condemn, unless it is mani
testify false or contrary to law.

Journalistic Petty Larceny.

The great metropolitan fakir is to
the front again this morning. 1t dec

Smiths Tenure of Office Bill.
srecidI to the Jersey Cay Ne,os
TRENTON. March II, Saskatchewan
Simeon II. Smith has played a good joke
upon his Democratic colleagues. He In
troduced a bill Monday night with the
businesslike title, IAN act concerning
the compensation and tenure of office
of certain officers" No one thought
anything of the bill and 1t was sent to the

spread over the faces of those who readit,
and in a short time the whole House was
laughing at the bill.

How to Be Attractive.

Girls who wish to make themselves
attractive, especially to the opposite
sex, sometimes talk too much, some
times too little. 1t would be a diff
cult matter to decide as to which is
the more at fault, but l should say
the one who talked too much. For
men, above and beyond all other
animals, like to hear their own voices.
The girl who will sit quietly beside
them, quietly but sympathetically,
with one word thrown in for their
hundredth, and that to the point,
will, in the long run, be esteemed by
them above all others.
To the married man a woman may
talk as much as she likes; to the
bachelor a girl may not talk as much
as she likes. She must even be con-
tented to let him talk, while she looks
on and admires, or pretends to do so.
1t is not so terrible an ordeal as it
appears; il has its revenges. Having
listened until the last prayer at the
wedding ceremony is completed, she
may then like the worm turn and
declare herself the one to be listened
to for the remainder of her existence.
The girl has a great deal in her
hands, but the wife has a great deal
more.

This Tax Bill looks Better.

After their experience with the big
tax bill the people will be slow to give
approval to anything in that line
without mature consideration. Until
the text of the bill is carefully
analysed, and the absence of jokers
verified, approval will be suspended.
The summary sent to THE JERSEY
City News by its Trenton cores
pendent as well as those published in
this mornings Trenton papers of the
substitute for the Commission bill, it is
fair to say indicates that the bill is
good so far as it goes. 1t seems to
make little progress, however. towards
bringing the habitual tax shirker to
time. II the bill prepared by the
Commission went too far in trying TO
enforce this reform, that is no reason
why the new one should fail to do
anything in the premises.
Some of the clauses may be EN-
phatically endorsed without fear of
error. One of these is that which re-
lates to the taxation of mortgaged
real estate. 1t practically extends
the operation of the Five Counties
act to the whole State, and is thus
practically sound. The power of
supervision and equalization granted
to the State Board is also to be COM
mended. There is good reason to
hope that it will cause the work of
the assessors to be done with mor
reason and less caprice than at pres
ent.
So far as we can gather from the
synopsis, there is nothing hurtful to
corporations in the bill, and nothing
which tends to embarrass business or
drive capital out of the State. In
this respect it is a huge improvement
on its precursor.
We wish the bill well. We hope it
will bear the test of rigid examination,
and will prove to be in such
shape that the Legislature can
safely pass it. Tax reform is
the primary need of this State, and if
some advance is made this session the
people will consider the money spent
by the Commission we'll invested, for
even If its own particular bill is not
adopted, such legislation as is secured
must be regarded as the result of the
ventilation of the subject during the
past year.
