The Girl of To-Day Does Not Wed Until

The Girl of To-Day Does Not Wed Until
She Is Nearer 20 Than 10.
The observant mortal must Ger
tainly have noticed among other
things that the marrying woman of
to-day defers her wedding until a
much more advanced season in life
than did her grandmother or even
the girls of decade ago, says the
Philadelphia Times. The question
arises: What is the cause of this
putting off that time so many de-
clare is the end of all wOmen's exist
ence?
Perhaps mothers arc more sensible
in these days and the young daughter
is not thrown upon the world. either
in a social or more wOrkaday fashion
until she has had thorough school
ing. which means in these days OF
long terms a communion with books
until she is over twenty-One. The
girl herse If may be wiser in her day
and generation and realize that gay
cites and tie happy-gO-lucky exist
ence before marriage must Of neces-
sity come to an end when she is led
to the altar.
Then, again. this is an age Of indie.
pendent women. They enter the
field of labor with men and find in
such occupation less time for senti-
ment than was allowed the lacka.
daisical girl of the past. 1t is our
earnest conviction that many girls
have been led into the error of fool
ish marriage through lack OF occu.
patton. Busy, active, intelligent
women have no time and less incli-
nation for the making OF rOmances.
They are absorbed in art in music,
or in more humdrum occupations
that return an excellent remunera,
tion and which they are too wise to
give up until they are certain that
the man who asks them is able to
compensate for all that they put away
for his sake.
Many woman defers marriage be-
cause she feels that her duty lies at
home in the care Of IN aged father or
an invalid mother or helpless broth
ers and sisters who depend upon her
alone for support Perhaps some one
argues that all this tends to the es-
tablishmcnt of vast spinsterhoOd.
but let us whisper that after all when
the right man comes along, when
real love creeps into the heart and
willy Cupid makes his presence felt.
then it matters not what speciOus
argument may have been advanced
heretofore, engagement and marriage
appear to be the truest art and the
noblest duty, for after all we are but
women and are governed more by
the heart than by the brain, indie
pendent and seIf-reliant though we
think ourselves,

Like a Brave Man.

John Weitzel was one the boldest
pioneers of West Virginia. "A man
absolutely without fear" one of the
chronicIers of those times calls him.
The manner of his death was worthy
Of that eulogy. In the pursuit of his
occupation, that Of hunter and
surveyor, he often undertook long
journeys alone, "a reckless pro eed-
ing when time and place are cOnSid-
ered,-and was never accompanied
by more than one or two friends.
One day while returning in canoe
w tn one companion from an eXcurS-
ion to Middle island Creek, he was
hailed by a large party of Indians
and ordered to put ashore. Without
making any reply he headed the boat
for the middle Of the stream, and
with his companion, made every effort
to escape.
The Indians fired on the instant
and one of the bullets struck Weitzel
10 the body. Seeing at once that the
wound was mortal he ordered the
other man to lie down in the canoe,
and then, with renewed vigor, though
his life was ebbing fast, he ulIed for
the u oste shore.
The Indians fired another voiIey,
but without effect, and before they
could reload the boat was out OF
range. 4 Weitzel ex ir soon after
reaching the bank, and was buried by
his companion. His grave may be
seen, marked by a rough stone on
which is traced in rude characters

Horses are Practically Unknown

Horses are Practically Unknown
Col. Dodge in his Riders of Many
Lands has pointed out the curious
fact, not generally understood, that
the horse is a comparatively recent
factor in Egyptian labor or transpor-
tation. He was unknown on the
banks of the Nile until the coming
of the Shepherd Kings about l''oO
years before the Christian era, ana no
representation OF the war steed, CT OF
the horse in any capacity, is to De
found in the more ancient mountains
in the land of the Pharaohs-
MEven to this day the camel IS
much more familiar object on the
plains and in the cities of Egypt, both
for riding and as a beast of burden;
and he is not infreQuently seen drag
ging the pillow, sometimes hltcned 10
an OK. sometimes hitched 10 an ass,
now and then hitched to man sery-
ant but generally hitched to one OF
his own species. He is in every ca
pacity in which he is found invari-
ably more useful than ornamental,
and he is never amiable. Whatever
he does is done in an ungainly and
ill-tempered manner. His driver does
not find him tractable OBJ ect before
the pillow, and how uncomfortable he
is under the saddle nearly every llv-
ing American witnessed for himself
last year in the street called Cairo as
it was exhibited at the Worlds Fair.
1t is all very well for travellers to
talk of the docility and of the sagac-
ity of the camel on his native sands;
to say that he is to the Arabs what
the reiedeer is to the EsQuimaux and
the Laplanders-the principal source
of their happiness. No doubt he
does furnish them with food, with
raiment, with fuel, with tents, with
domestic utensils; unquestionably he
does transport them from place to
place. carry their merchandise, pillow
their lands; he certainly does enable
them to make war upon their neigh
bors, and assist them in defending
their wives and their children and
their household gods.
But heiis anything but docile, even
if he is sagacious; and the unsuspect-
ing American traveller, whose coat
was eaten off his back. and whose
flesh narrowly escaped being con-
sumed, by the principal source of
happiness of one particular Arab in
the streets of Luxor last winter, is
inclined to believe that the docilitY
of the camel is greatly exaggerated,
and that his sagacity is somewhat
misapplied. -Harper's Weekly.

Since the veil has fallen into par
tial disuse. the Turkish woman has
also departed. Marion Crawford tells
us: The yashmak is not what it was
ten years ago. and has almost ceased
to hide the face at all. Strict as the
SuItan'S ordinance is. there is not
the slightest pretense of obeying it,
and, in the great majority OF cases.
a thin white veil barely covers the
forehead, and is but loosely drawn
under the chin. The cross-band
which used TO cover the nose above
the ewes has entirely disappeared. or
is worn only when ladies appear in
public at such places as the Sweet
Waters or in their Kaiks on the
Coded Horn and the BosphoruS L:

great illusion has disappeared from
the streets OF ConstantinopIe. There
was something very mysterious about
it. Black eyes never looked so black,
and deep. and liquid as when seen by
themselves, as it were. between two
bread bands OF opaque white. In
those days, every yashmak yelled an
ideal beauty, very different from the
ugliness of the pale and fiaccid feat

discloses. One is inclined Co doubt
