Unmatched Marriages..

Race and color prejudices. always
stronger in this country than in En-
rope, have prevented many such mar
riages between American girls and
Asiatics as are described 10 an article
on the subject on the tWentY-third
page of to-day's Press. Of those
which have taken place, some have
been happy; but it is true of most of
them, as our contributor says that
their story has been one long life
tragedy
Even an Englishman is less con-
siderate of his wife than an American,
expects more from her and comedies
her less in return; a European gives
his wife less than an Englishman in
respect, in reverence and in daily
care and consideration, and an Ash
attic simply carries the parallel still
farther. The practical lesson is that
an American girl is wise if she seeks
wedlock at home 1t may not bring
happiness; but it is more likely to
than anywhere else
Rank confers certain definite adj
vantages, particularly for a woman
wrapped in social interest; but where
a foreign marriage does not bring
that, an American girl who marries
a man of middle position abroad, and
particularly on the Continent, is ex.
tremely apt to find herself hampered
by a thousand conventions, bound
down to trying economies. and OF
much less personal weight and i'm.
portance in her husbands eyes aud
his family's than the wife Of On
American husband.
This is -thousand-fo more true
of an Asiatic marriage, fortunately
so rare as scarcely to need considera-
tion. But in all marriages the one
glaring mistake of our American so
ciety is to forget that the surest and
only safe foundation of happiness In
married life is a common training,
common friends common social habits
and a life before marriage, as well as
after, as much under common condi.
tions in essential particulars as posi-.

Looms family the boy in the NOW.

FIERY EYES.
Queer Experience In Owl Hunting In Far
On Patagonia.

On PATAGONIA.
Why do cats eyes shine in the dark
while mems eyes do not? The author
Of Idle Days in Patagonia" raises
this question without answering it
He shot and wounded an eagle-owI,
and the sight of the bird, he says.
was one of the greatest surprises with
which nature ever favored him. The
owls haunt was an island overgrown
with grass and tall willows. Thither
Mr.. Hudson went toward evening.
and found him upon his perch watt
ing for sunset He eyed the intruder
so calmly as almost TO disarm hhim,
but hunters of specimens have a way
Of hardening their hearts. Mr.. aud-
son fired; the owl swerved on his
perch, remained suspended for few
moments, and then slowly futtered
down.
found my victim stung to fury by
his wounds, and ready for the last
supreme effort Even in repose he is
big, eagle-like bird; now in the un-
certain light he looked gigantic ia
siZe-a monster of strange form and
terrible aspect.
Each particular feather stood on
end, the tawny barred tail spread out
like fan, the immense tIger-colored
wings wide open and rigid, so that as
the bird, that had clutched the grass
with his great feathered claws.
swayed slowly from side to side, just
as snake about to strike sways his
head, or as an angry, .watchful cat
moves its ail,-first the tip of one,
then OF the other wing touched the
ground.
The black horns stood erect, while
in the centre of the wheel-shaped
head the beak snapped necessarily,
producing sound like the clicking OF
a sewing This was suit
able setting for the pair of magnifl-
cent, furious eyes, on which I gazed
with a kind of fascination, not I'M
mixed with fear when / remembered
the agony suffered on former occasions
from sharp crooked talons driven into
me to the bone.
The irides were Of a bright orange
color, but every time I attempted to
approach the bird they kindled into
great globes of quiyering yellow flame,
the black pupils being surrounded by
a scintillating crimson light which
threw out minute yellow sparks into
the air. When ] retired from the
bird this preternatural fiery aspect
would instantly vanish.
The question as to the cause Of this
fiery appearance is one hard to answer.
We know that the source Of the lu-
minosity in owls and cats eyes is
the light-re1ecting membrane be-
tween the retina and the clerOtic
coat of the eyeball; but the mystery
remains. When the bird / particu-
larlY noticed that every time re.
tired the nictitating membrane would
immediately cover the eyes and OBJ
scure, them for some time, as they
will when an owl is confronted with
strong sunlight; and this gave me
the impression that the fiery, fash
ing appearance was accompanied
with, or followed by, a burning or
smarting sensation.
I have lived great deal among
semi-savage men. have often seen
them frenzied with excitement their
faces white as ashes, their hair erect
and their eyes dropping great tears OF
rage, but I have never seen in them
anything approaching to that fiery
appearance of the owl.

His thoughts had run still deeper.
He felt as if he were a coward, and
in his humility he saw things in a
clear light To have dwelt jealousy
on himself, to have stickled for his
small rights and sulked over his
small wrongs-it was unworthy a
brave boy.
But to work with willing spirit;
to feel and to show manly concern
for his employers interests; not dog
gedly to study how little he could do,
but how much, cheerfullY to realize
the truth that money truly earned
is more than barely earned; and to
work out a worthy destiny with
strong and ready nands-that would
be worth while.
He felt as does one who has made
pleasing discovery. A happy thrill
passed through him.

He Knew the Story.

"Supposing," said an upholstery dealer
to candidate for vacant position,
"that lady came in and asked you il
you had any chenille curtains, what
would you say?"
The new man smiled CHASTITY smile.
Imagining the scene and drawing long
breath, he started in. Eyes, ma'am," SAYS
he, 1--WE keep chenille curtains. This
way, please. Here's something rather
handsome. You don't like the pattern,
eh? Something in smaller? All, yes.
This way. please. Brighter, eh? Yes,
ma'am. This way, please. There you are.
A doorway, see, and with little red in
it.
"As understand you, then, you wish
q small figure chenille with little red
in it. How's that-$S.50? Too high?
Something cheaper, ell? With dado
and wide as possible. Something for
about $3.50?
LAS understand you, then, you wish
a asmall figure chenille bright with bit of
red in it--S4.50 chenille curtain, wide
and with dado? That as near as can
come to it. Not enough individuality,
eh? How's this one? Not sufficiently
forceful in its pensiveness, eh? Some
thing to harmonic with a sage green
rug that your dog lies on and combine
with the flare from an open grate-some-
thing moody and thoughtful, eh? Some
thing suggestive Of repose?
"As l understand you, then, you wish
a small figure, bright with bit of red,
$3.50 chenille curtain, for doorway,
wide and with dado, with beery,
sleepy, don't-wake-me- up till morning
sort of style about it, to harmonic
