A Girls Ideas of Marriage.

A young girls ideas of marriage are
very nebulous and underlined, writes
Mrs. Burton Kingsland in the fifth paper
in the series. IA Daughter at Sixteen"
in the October Ladies' Home Journal.
She rarely looks beyond the prestige"
of being engaged" the trousseau, the
wedding festivities, the novelty of being
the mistress of home, and the adored
being whose periections are the constant
theme of The ideal young husband. Her
Imagination rarely carries her farther
than the first year or two of married life,
when the novelty having passed, she
must fall back upon the character of the
man she has chosen to build her happi-
ness upon.
Parents know how fieeting the passions
of youth sometimes are, and how they
fall in inharmonious conditions. They
know that where the girl loves the ideal
she creates, rather than the reality that
exists, there will come time Of awaken
ing, and her love may die, though the
bond remain.
Worldly considerations are stronger
with the old than with the young, and
most common parental objections are on
the ground of insufficient means.
"All for love, and the world well lost, ]"
has always been the lovers creed, but the
parents forsee that when man feels the
weight of a family upon him, whom he
can barely support, depressing influences
set in. His health fails perhaps; care and
anxiety rob him of the youthful attrac-
tions that won her heart; he may becom Q
querulous and exacting, and love itself
have hard struggle for existence.

THE GOLD AND THE VALLEY.

The Nevada City Transcript says that
that made the Sacramento Valley what it
is to-day. Dogmatic assertion. Not q
line of proof to that end can be adduced.
The Sacramento Valley is what 1t is, so
far as man has operated upon it, by rea-
son of the hard licks put in by farmers,
orchardists, levee- builders. men of
energy, pluck and grit. The homes in
the Sacramento Valley are not homes
built by the money of hydraulic mining
capitalists. They are not the product of
the slickens that has filled the drainways
Of the valley until the rivers run upon
ridges.
Some of the finest cultivated land in the
valley was snatched from the flood of
sIickens and walled in by enormous
levees constructed at valley cost to resist
the assault of the hydraulic mining down
pour. There is not valley town or city
that owes its existence or prosperity to
hydraulic mining, or the gold of the
mountains. The latter, as taken out, has
either been reservoired in San Francisco
or shipped away to foreign parts. Very
little of it stayed by the way, and less still
adhered to the fertile lands of the Sacra-
mento Valley. Those lands have been
thrice or more taxed by law and several
times voluntarily to provide means of
resistance to the flood of debris that
hydraulic mining has sent down, and that
still comes on in menacing volume.
Everywhere mining is the temporary
and agricultural and its kind the perma-
nent industries. The latter produce
homes and stability, the former ruin and
insecurity. No, there is not demand,
neighbor, that any wrong shall be done
to you or yours, but simply that you and
yours shall not do any injury to the val
ley, the rivers and the bottom lands.
Mine, by all means; get out the shining
ore: excayate the yellow dust from its
deep clayey bed, but in doing SO do not
throw the dirt over your shoulder upon
us. nor construct flimsy dams and at
tempt to make us believe that these will

New York, as dainty as flower, and he

PEOPLE who are SO very sympathetic
with Nicaragua should pause to reflect
upon the history of the petty States of the
lesser Americas. AS matter of fact there
is nowhere in historical records accounts
of such cruelties as are practiced in pesce
and in war by these same Central Amer
icas. They are in state of perpetual
revolution. When at war they are cruel
to degree that shocks the sensibilities
of the world. They are forever in debt,
and the most of their bonds are held in
the London market. They were glad
enough to get English coin for their
needs. and gave liens upon their customs
revenues as security for payment. Eng
land therefore in seizing the Custom
houses really depreciates the Central
American bonds held by her own peo-
pie, and puts off the payment still longer.
We are not more kindly to the British
than they deserve, but common sense
should prevail, and fair play be accorded,
even to England.

| Those who have travelled much by
rail are more or less acquainted with
the hot box. A hot box, as it is COM
monty called really means hot
journal bearing or hot journal, or
both. 1t arises sometimes from the
use of poor material in the bearing,
sometimes on account of imperfect
casting, and sometimes from too great
weight upon the bearing producing
friction and heat.
There are now far fewer hot boxes
than formerly. Some of the heaviest
cars are now carried upon six wheeled
trucks, thus distributing the weight
of each end of the car upon six jour-
nal bearings instead of four, and re-
ducing the danger of excessive fric-
ton. Better materials are used and
the workmanship upon them is better,
weights to be carried are calculated
more nicely, and greater care is ex-
ercised in operation, so that the hot
box is not what it once was. A man
