Why Some Women DO Not Marry.


A maiden woman used to attack
a new science or language every year,
and failing, from her lack Of teacher or
companion, would pile the textbooks
in heaps until walls of dusty volumes
shut in every room of the house. She
fell at last into state of semi-idiocy,
and wandered like a ghost around the
village, jabbering scraps of foreign
tongues which she did not understand.
1t is hereditary habit in certain
families for the women who have a
grief TO shut themselves into a siuCle
room, and remain there for ten, twenty,
thirty years, Nor are the morbid fan
cies of these women always gloomy and
sad. They live sometimes in an en-
chanted land of their own.
One whom I know, woman of SEN
suous temperament and motherly in
stincts, refused to marry a man whom
she loved because he had gone to live
in another town, and she would be
forced to leave the old house and half
acre which were the center of the
world to her. The courtshiD went on
for forty years, but she was true to
! the house.
Another drove her lover away on the
day of the wedding because she could
not bring herself to change the name
WOnson for any other He was rich
and she was poor: he remained faith
ful and ready as long as she lived. She
died at seventy. maiden Wonson still.

Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?

It is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder IS
the purest and strongest of all the baking powders.
Thepurest baking powder makes the finest sweet
est most delicious food The strongest baking pow
der makes the lightest food
That baking powder which IS both purest and
strongest makes the most d'gestble and wholesome
food.
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
Of the baking powder which viii give her the best
food with the least trouble?
Avoid all baking powders sold with gift
or prize, or at lower price than the Royal,
as they invariably contain alum, lime or SUE
phuric acid, and render the food unwhOissOms
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
ROYAL. which is absolutely pure.

him?" Thompson grew red with anger,

Because he took no for an an

which attract crowds Of men, seem to
attract quite as many women. Yet
the excess Of women IN New York is
comparatively small. The city has
IS women to every AZ men. while Brook
Ign has 20 women to every Is men, and
Troy II women to every 10 men. Why
should it happen that in the suburban
counties nearest New York there
should be more men than women? 1t
would seem that of the population
drawn by the metropolis to this end of
the state the unmarried men would
nearly all live in the cities, and the
jewellers in the suburbs would for the
most part be people with families.
fetthe suburban counties all show an
excess of men-I, 5000 in Westchester,
100 in Richmond. and 2, 300 in Queens.

A New Faetor IN Decoratlnn.

Aluminium has the property, when
used as pencil, of leaving an indeli-
bic mark on glass or any other sub
stance having a siliceous base. A de-
position OF the metal takes place, and
while this may be removed by a suita-
bic acid wash, the mark itself cannot
be removed by washing. Magnesium,
zine and cadmium have similar
property, but the mark Of magnesium
is easily removed; the application of
zinc requires wheel, and zinc and
cadmium tarnish. while aluminium is
permanent and remains bright This
property is susceptible of a variety Of
practical applications in decorating
glass.

Bronming.

"BrOmming" is the term applied in
California to the unearthly sound that
the ostrich imagines to be song. The
bird initiates his long neck till it looks
ike a big bag; he then lets the air out
again in three instruments. He blows
thrice thus in succession, making nine
roars in all. The performance is then
over for the time being. "Brom-
ming" is occasionally heard by day,
but more usually breaks the silence by
night, and is probably meant as a
challenge Two Of the herd are al
ways on guard while their companions
sleep. They take turns in this duty.

4 Long Shading Difference.

One of the oldest boundary disputes
in this country is that between New
Jersey and Delaware over the iuris-
diction OF the Delaware river opposite
New Castle and for some distance
above and below, New Jersey insists
that her jurisdiction extends to the
middle of the river there as elsewhere,
while Delaware claims jurisdiction at
that point clear across to the New
Jersey shore. Charles II granted to
his brother James, duke of York,
about the year 1888, q portion of the
Delaware peninsula. The grant speci-
ally gave James circular piece Of
land twelve miles about New Castle,
all islands falling within the circle,
and seemingly from the language the
bed of the stream. James gave the
land to William Penn, and this land
afterWard became the state of Della
ware. It is upon the language of
this grant that Delaware claims
jurisdiction over the whole river op-
pOsite New Castle. The matter was
once brought before commissioners
from the two states.
