When to Say No.

She should refuse him when she
knows his habits to be Incorporate,
for there can be no unhappier fate than
marriage with drunkard She should
refuse him when there is any heredi-
tary disease in the family, such as
consumption or insanity, which would
in all probability show itself and cause
infinite misery in after years. She
should re1Gse him when she sees he is
i'm the habit Of associating with bad
companions, who may lead him into
gambling, drinking and card playing
life. She should refuse him when she
knows him to be that despicable thing
"a male firt; she should reflect that
as he has treated other girls so he
may treat herself. and NO woman cares
to lay herself open to such treatment.
She should refuse him when she feels
she has, no love to give him. and not
marry as many, girls do, for home,
no marriage can be, truly happy with
out love to swecten the bonds. She
should refuse him when he is ,ropos-
ing to her for her money or from pique.
A girl can generally distinguish. real
love from feigned. and even If she.
cares for him should not lccept him
until convinced his motives are disin-
terested. She should lot refuse hin,
when she really cares for him and
knows him to be a steady, faithful
man, who will make her happy and
not cause her heartbreaks, which, per-
haps, one Of her, more brilliant lovers
might have done.-Blackburn (Englandl

Insulating Paints for Underground
Pipes.

There has been much talk of Late
about the electrical corrosion of un-
dergromd pipes. In some cities the
lead-covered telephone wires are seri-
ously injured, and in others the gas
and water pipes are principally in
and water pipes are principally af-
fected. The mischief is caused by the
return current Of electric railway lines.
The effect Of the current is to eat 8
series Of little cavities in the surface
of the metal, either lead or iron, as the
case may be, which gradually enlarge
until the metal may be completely de-
stroyed around the entire circumfer-
ence. While the leading remedy is one
which the railways are slowly adopting
as a matter of economy, without any
special consideration for the feelings
of the water works, telephone or gas
engineers, viz, the better bonding of
the rails, attention has been drawn to
a resource of known value A paint
has been in use for some time which
has an affinity for and becomes part
Of the suface of metals, 80 that it can
not be removed unless the actual sur
face of the metal is attacked; it also
efectually prevents the oxidation OF
the surface which it covers It is
claimed that by the use of this paint
the electrolysis of metals underground
can be completely prevented. The paint
is turned out in three grades, and a
coating Of each is necessary to make
the insulation Of the metal pipe o,
cable perfect.

TOO DARING FICTION.

The Harm That Some "AdvnnceP

Whether men like it or no, the fact
must be faced that it is women who are
now writing the really notable novels
In some cases, no doubt, the lad
yanced'' school of fiction has much in it
that is tremendously, even deplorably,
daring, but that some of the recent
stories of the kind are not only brill

BILE. cannot be denied. We may hold
with the hero of one Of the latest Of
these works that "this new craze for
advanced talk between the sexes is no
good" but I am quite sure that he is
wrong when he says that cts a pose,
mostly, as their smoking is, just done
for effect These new writers are
plainly in deadly earnest-which is the
one reason why it is wise not to ignore,
even if one cannot always agree with
their work.
The responsibility which these popu-
lar advocates of advanced views take
upOn their shoulders is enormous, ac-
cording to the Ladies' Pictorial. The
written word remains, and no one can
tell what it's result may be. An unhap-
