A Dark Outlook for the Girls OF the Mid

A Dark outlook for the Girls OF the Mid
die Glass.
The decline of matrimony in Eng
land, according to the London Tele-
graph, has of late years been very
marked, more especially among the
middle and upper classes. Nor are the
revelations that are occasionally made
in the divorce court of nature 10 en-
courage the more prudent and eligible
young men, and those who would
make the best husbands, to be In any
hurry 10 enter into the enjoyment Of
connubial bliss. II Is some relief 10
middle-class families soverburdened with
an excess Of daughters that the oppor-
tunities for girls earning their own liv-
ing appear 10 be on the increase; but the
competition for paid employment ac-
ceptable TO young ladies Of the middle
classes Is every day growing moro
severe. The prospects for middle-class
girls In the immediate future appear,
therefore, 10 be anything but bright,
except 10 those who are not afraid OF
work. There are thousands Of young
men wanting wives In Australia and
America, where there are few wives to
be had There Is q career open 10 the
surplus female population Of England,
II they can only manage once 10 get 10
the other side Of the globe.

Pine Tree Which Stood In PennsylvanIa
Long Before Columbus Landed.
Ever since the days Of the first set
tiers In the Pike county (Pa.) back
woods, tree known as the great
pine" has been landmark In Green
township because OF It's immense
height, the tree towering far above all
the other trees In the pine forest that
then covered the Pike county noun
tains, says the New York Sun. In the
clearing away Of the pine timber,
which was the main pursuit OF the
woodsmen for fifty years or more, this
lordly tree was left standing, and thirty
years ago 1t became the sole relic in all
that region Of the great primitive forest
of pines, and since then has been ia
nous throughout northern Pennsylva-
mia as "the last pine" The natives had
always regarded the ancient tree with
great veneration, but the land on which
II stood passed into the hands OF alien
owners and one day recently they had
IL cut down. The tree was found TO be
three hundred and seventy-two feet in
height, and the infallible record Of the
rings Of its stem showed its age to be
four hundred and sixty-two years, so
that II was respectable tree sixty-two
years old when Columbus discovered
America. 1t is perfectly sound from butt

A FALSE POPULAR NOTION.
The Woman Lobbyist In Washington Said
to Be y Fiction.

Tho Woman Lobbyist In Washington Said
to Be Fiction.
There are some fictions concerning
the capitol at Washington. Among
them is one that the woman lobbyist Is
a power, and that her wiles and arts
are successfully employed on the most
eminent statesmen in congress, writes
H. L. Nelson In Harper's Weekly.
1t Is true that there are women lobby
lists, and that some Of them years ago
were eminently successful There is
nothing, however, so false as the idea
that the woman lobbyist is a frequent
spectacle, or that she has now any in
fuence whatever on congressman or
legislation. The average congressman
is respectable and self-respecting man.
1t must be borne In mind that most
members of the house Of representa-
tives and Of the senate come from rural
communities, and, as rule, no man
can be chosen from a rural community
to respectable public position who
does not, at least apparently, walk in
the paths of propriety. 1t may be that
his reputation is false, but he is intent
on preserving it, at all events, and con-
sequently "it would not do" in the lam
guage of those who understand the full
value of propriety, for u man who
counts on continuing to receive the
favors Of rural constituency to be
seen very often in conversation with q
professional woman lobbyist Nor
would the subject on which she desired
to converse with him be likely to inter-
est him If he were man of position
and character. No one who is in the
habit Of doing business with the ma
tional legislature or whose affairs are
Of sufficient Importance to demand eau
ton and intelligence in their transac-
iton would employ a woman lobbyist.
The first friend he met, if he had no
local attorney, would warn him off.
Sometimes poor, broken down,
wronged and inexperienced claimant,
with justice on his side, and with
story Of wrongs received from the red
tape system prevalent in Washington,
will fall into the hands of the fair
harpy, who will rob him of his spare
cash and leave him stranded and disap-
pointed; for II anything beyond the
natural indifference of congressman is
needed to defeat just claim, it is the
effort of q woman lobbyist.
