The dreaming maiden never figures as
a second wife in her love visions, how
ever she may figure in real life later on;
yet FIRST marriage often fits man to
be a far tenderer husband and more de-
voted lover. He remembers his first
wife only sufficiently to'recall his errors
and mistakes, and to avoid them in his
treatment Of his second. Most girls,
however, would prefer taking the risk
of his mistakes than deriving the benefit
of his experience.

The rise of the wife Of London's lord
mayor is another instance Of the demo-
cratic tendencies OF the times and the
overthrow OF the social nobility which
has so long ruled the world. She was a
chambermaid at fashionable hotel in
West Kemp, where David Evans, alder
man of the ward of Castle Raynard and
now lord mayor of London, used to stop
during the hunting season. He fell in
love with the pretty girl who waited
upon him, and In manly and demo-
cratic spirit proposed to her and was ac-
cepted. So now the humble servant is
elevated to one Of the highest posi-
tions in the worlds metropolis, and will
in the future entertain royalty and the
most distinguished men and women Of
the nations. .,
Her experience, however, is not
unique. The wife Of Jules Grevy, ex-
president of the French republic, was
his washerwoman before she sat in the
palace. Many women Of the highest So
cial prominence have risen from humble
surroundings. Ever since the days Of
King Cophetua, who made the beggar
maid his queen, there have been men
courageous enough to ignore the sneers
Of the lofty and to marry the women Of
their choice, in whatever circumstances
they found them. Brave old Andrew
jackson was proud Of his beloved wife
till the day of his death in spite Of her
homely manners and her unfamiiarity
with the ways of the polite world, and
his secretary Of war married the daugh-
ter of tavern keeper.
But at no time have men of promi-
nence picked their wives from the mod
est walks Of life with greater frequency
than at present, and the custom is grow.
ing. 1t is carrying out democracy in
earnest, and what is best Of all, the men
never seem to regret their choice. Chi

is to be produced by means Of boxes Of

solid state into the boxes, and these
are then plunged into hot water about

the water the boxes are wiped dry and

the soda solidifies, and as long as the
