HappIest Nation on Earth.

It is generally conceded that the hap
piest people on earth, as whole, are
the French. They are happy because
they are contented, and one con-
spicuous reason why they are con-
tented is because the great mass OF
them live in their own homes. Not
more than 80 per cent. of the French
people rent the quarters they live in.
They are, indeed, the best sheltered
people in the world. Though there are
only SO, 900, 900 of them they have 9,OOO,-
600 dwelling houses. This, as will
readily be seen, provides a house for
every 20 persons, another conspicuous
exhibition of French thrift. In Amer
lea in 1890 there were 5.45 persons to
every dwelling; forty years before, or
in 1850, 5.94, or nearly six people to
every dwelling, and yet in France the
population is much more dense than in
this country. There are on an average
1877 people to each square mile, while
in the United States there are but 81,
and in the north Atlantic only 1O7 to
the square mile. In the United States
in 1890 only AIS of the farms and
houses altogether were owned by the
occupants, the remaining 52.5 per cent
being occupied by tenants and those
occupying the same at rental. OF
the homes in American cities and viii
lagos, 63.2 per cent. are rented houses.

ROMANTIC MARRIAGES.

Hhe Usual Result of Young People Ignoring
Material Condition.
Marriage in the old world is gener.
ally matter of arrangement; is COM
Quoted, more or less financially, on tho
basis of what is called common sense
Marriage usually results in the new
world from personal affinity. from sorno
Intense form Of emotionalism, indie
pendent of material conditions or fa-
Vorlng circumstances. We Americans
are more romantic, connubially. than
any people under the sun. We are
gradually growing less so as the repub-
lie ages, but we are still inclined to
consult our feelings rather than our
reason in choosing mates.
Romance is an excellent thing in
Enatrimony, but it may be carried too
far in determining the question. When
1t survives matrimony, and is found to
be a large ingredient in it's composition
after years of continuance, it is as
beautiful as it is9commandable. It is
greatly enjoyed by the married, and
warmly admired by their intinlates.
But, as a rule, the less dominant. a;o-
nance is in making match, the larger
Is it's influence after sobriety has set in.
Young persons will seldom believe
this, however, and they have to learn
IT, therefore, by painful experience.
They declare that they love, and love
Is, in their partial opinion, sufficient
warrant for any conjugal enterprise,
even in the face of the most adverse
fortune. Where love is, faith and hope
are, and to the three comb ined every
thing desired is possible, and most
things certain. They are in a state of
ecstasy, and the hard world is moulded
and mellowed by their enraptured Wis
ion.
They obstinatcly refuse to accept as
true the assurance that wedlock must
depend for it's outcome on prosaic facts
and figures; that it belongs as much to
arithmetic as to sentiment; that love
itself may not always withstand pinch
ing perjury and the trials it begets.
Those who would tell them so are pro-
nounced doubters and cynics, and their
warnings pass like the breeze. Alas!
how many couples have discovered,
when tco late, what terrible prophets
those doubters and cynics hare prored
. to be! They would not heed when they
should have needed, and the time has
passed for regrets and contritions.
But there are always new couples as
confident and as obdurate as the old,
and there will be while the years go
on. Such couples are convinced beyond
refutation that hearts and pulses that
leap together are an earnest of the fu-
ture, and a solid ground for co-opera-
tive hOusekeeping.-Ha Bazaar.
