never confess defeat, but fight while
they have breath left in them. Shortly

The o5t singular institution OF Da-
honey is the female army, or amazons,

certain when they were first introduced
as warriors, but 1t is thought that the
honor Of having organized the first band
OF these ferocious creatures belongs to
Agaiah, the fourth king OF Dahomey.

The habits of modern young men
are antagonistic to that prudence and
preparation which make it possible
for them to marry at twenty-five,
writes John Lambert Payne in an eX
haustive article upon this important
question in the Ladies' Home Jour
nal. There are many exceptions, Of
course. but it may be safely said that
a vast number OF the young men who
live in our time fill their spare hours
with exhaustive luxuries. 1t costs
them great deal to dress, and still
more to keep up their social engage
ments. In a score of ways they ac-
custom themselves to ways OF life
that leave no margin between income
and outgo. This having gone on I'M
til they are twenty-five, it then calls
for more resolution than many of
them command to begin the sacrifices
which accompany the saving of
money. Without money they cannot
marry. Not few greatly exaggerate
what it should take two sensible peo-
pie to begin life on, and hastily con-
clude that it would be impossible, on
an income Of 81 900, to start in COM
fort. So they put off marriage until
after thirty. or do not marry at all,
and it is well that such men should
remain single. We do not need any
such weak fiber in the coming gener-
alton.
