VERY ROMANTIC CoURTsHIP.-A dis
patch from Berlin says Elizabeth
Kronner, young woman of good fami-
ly and considerable beauty, was be-
trayed four months ago by the young
man whom she was to marry. He de-
serted her recently, and went to Wen
ma. Fearina to reveal her shame TO
her parents she decided to drown her.
self. She wrote q confession to her
mother, mailed the letter and then
jumped in the Havel, near Pichelsberg,
a short distance from this city. An
army officer, who had followed her to
the river bank, jumped after her and
rescued her. He placed her in cab
and started for her home in spite Of
her protestations that she could never
again face her parents.
While the cab was crossing bridge
Miss Kronner suddenly pushed open
the door and leaped to the roadway,
and before the officer could follow,
threw herself into the water. The ofli-
Ger went after her, overcame her strug--
giles to free herself from him, and
brought her to shallow water where;
the cabman came to his assistance and
dragged both, completely exhausted, to
the bank. After entering the cab
again. the officer proposed marriage
and Hiss Kronner accepted him. Mr..
and Mrs. Kronner gave their consent to
the marriage, and Friday the engage
ment was announced.

SAVED BY A DEAD DoG.-It isnot in
frequent that q mans life is saved by a
live dog, but here is an instance in
which dead dog served the same good
purpose. It occurred about four years
ago on the Air Line division Of The New
York, New Haven and Hartford vail
road. One evening an express train, of
which Edward Kenny was engineer,
turned curve between Rockiall ana
Middletown. On the track, only Il few
hundred feet ahead, he saw a man
walking along unconscious of his dan
Ger. 1t was impossible to stop the train
in time. so the whistle was repeatedly
blown and the bell rung, but the man
paid no attention to this. He was ap-
parently as deaf as post. When only
Il few feet away from him Kenny, who
had reversed the lever and done his
best to stop the train, turned his head
so as not to see the man run down.
Still he was dimly conscious of dark
body being struck by the engine and
Knocked several feet. The train was

search made for the man. He was
found covered with blood in gully be-
side the track. There happened to be
a physician among the passengers, and
after minute examination OF the man,
who turned out to be deaf mute, he
declared that he could not have been
struck by the train, rs his only injuries
were few scratches and bruises on his
hands and face \ further search was
made and resulted in the finding Of the
badly mangled body of big New
Foundland dog. 1t had evidently at

the train. been struck by the engine,
and thrown forward in such way as to
strike the man and knock him Off the

THE FAILURE TO MARRY.-fhe fail
ure of young men to marry has com
PEELED hundreds of thousands ofyoung
women to earn an Independent living;
but the divine plan was dat men should
be the bread-earncrs and that women
should be the centre Of the homes.
Whenever such fundamental law Of
society is violated retribution is inevi-
table. There are to-day upward of
100000 women in the United States
who make living by professional and
personal services, such as the practice
of law and medicine, the teaching Of
music and art work, clerical service of
one sort or another in government and
other offices, quite apart from the army
of Young women who serve in stores
and toll at mechanical labor. No one
who can look back over Il generation of
time has failed to observe the extent to
which women have become independent
bread-earners within comparatively re-
cent years, and particularly in those
avenues which education and refined
habits of life have opened up. 1t is,
in fact, a grave social problem where
this thing will end.
1t would seem that this, among other
causes, is accomplishing the purpose
which Nautilus aimed to teach; for the
inexorable conclusions of the statisli
clan show that the American and Cana
dian family is steadily growing smaller.
If the average number per family had
been as greatin 1890 as in 1860 there
would have been 100000 people in
the United States and 100000 in Cana

veaed. This is fact of far-reaching
Importance, and applies its force in
other directions than the subject Of this

Is there remedy? Certainly there
is none which can be easily applied.
