A Bride Of Two Years.

England can furnish instances of child
marriages, not perhaps TO any great ex-
tent, but as young as any to be found
in eastern countries, where such mar
riages are almost of daily occurrence.
The youngest English bride on record
is, beyond all doubt, a daughter Of Sir
William Brereton, who in the Sixteenth
century was united III bonds of holy
matrimony, when only two years Of age.
to a bridegroom who WAS only her senior
by one year. In this case the children
were carried into the church. and their
elders spoke for them. Subsequently.
when the pair reach years of maturity,
they ratified the strange tie. IL this in
stance the object was to carry out a
desire to unite property.-All the Year

1t cannot be denied that there is
serious and general disappointment
at the results of popular education
up to this date. In spite of all efforts
to make education universal. all
classes complain more than ever be
fore of the general conditions of so
ciety. Yet after two whole genera
tons it seems as if some increase of
genuine reasonableness of thought
and action in all classes of the popu.
lation ought to be discernible.
Many persons. however. fail to see
in the actual conduct of the various
classes of society the evidence of in
creasing nationality. President Eliot

Our Puritan fathers wore shoes mod.
erately peaked. About 1850 square toes
made their appearance. In the reign Of
Mary, who died in 1863, there was a
proclamation issued that no person
should wear shoes ever W. inches wide
at the toes. Square toes began to lose
favor in 1857. In our newspapers from
1916 to 1875 round toes became more
common, and peaked ones less. accord
ing to descriptions given of shoes on
runaway slaves and servants. From
1881 shoe toes continued in IA small pro-
portion and became mostly pointed.
This shape lasted nearly a hundred
years. Square toes began again in 1925,
and in 1885 were succeeded by round
toes,-BOstOn Herald.

For many Years Johns Hopkins"
has been a familiar name in the
land, yet comparatively few persons
know anything of the man whose
name adorns the hospital and uni
versity--his legacles to Baltimore.
He was born on a farm i'll Anne
Arundel county, Nd. in l79s, OF
Quaker parentage. When quite a
young mar he came to Baltimore and
was soon established in business. He
was a bold but judiciOus operator.
In those days coffee and sugar
usually sold at auction; they would
be put up in lots. and. if the buyer
saw fit, he would use the privilege of
taking the whole as his successful
bid. This Mr.. Hopkins often did.
thus monopolizing the market.
He encouraged young men starting
in business. and would indorse their
paper for a commission. which they
cheerfully paid; and having. AS he
had, remarkably keen judgment, he
seldom lost, or rather his gains far
exceeded his losses. He made great
deal of money in Baltimore and Ohio
stock, in which he had great conf.
dence, buying it at low prices and
holding it until his prophecies were
fulfilled.
When he was young he was in
love with a first cousin. but owing to
family opposition he never married
her. Johns Hopkins lived plainly
and simply. dressed in the Quaker
style, was rather blunt in manner.
but at the same time his uprightness
and rare business talents wen the
respect of the community. He died in
December, 1873, in his house in town.
Besides the millions that he left for
the hospital and university, his
several nieces and nephews received
legacies, and he provided literally
for his sister, who survived him.

4 Mania for Decoration.

There are Frenchnen. according to NJ.
Simon. who collect decorations just AZ
others collect postage stamps. In GER
tain official positions it appears the one
thing is hardly more difficult than the
other. Il knew he says, two public
officials who had this i~noffensive mania.
One was fat. The chain on which he
hung his medals spread across his ample
chest and struck downward and was lost
to view in his wais,cuat pocket, in the
interior Of which the imagination pic
tured further honorary insignia. The
other was thin, to his great disgust, and
he cJuld only exhibit some thirty deco
rations in a row. Some one advised him
to wear a double line, just as unruly
~convicts wear IA double chain. He did
SO. and he was quite right. His breast
was a collection of all the animals of
creation in gold, silver and enamel. 1t
