AMERICAN WIVES ABROAD.
a Highly Uncomplimentary Picture Drawn
by u Londoncr.

Here. is the way a writer describes
what happens after a rich American
girl has succeeded In capturing titled
Englshman for husband:
when the marriage festivities are
over the honeymoon over, and the reali-
ties of everyday life on the march
again. what sort of a wife does the
Anglo-American bride develop into, as
a rule? In cases where the dowry Is
large and the devotion not great. TINS
question is of little Importance. In
big house there is little room for clash
ing, and, If the circle Of friends be only
wide and lively enough. husband and
wife will hardly have time to grow
sufficiently familiar for either love max
ing or quarreling. Supposing. however,
that the husband should be so unfortu-
nate as to have conceived any real al
fection for his bride before marriage,
and to have evolved any hope that she
would develop into the companion,
friend and sympathizer, who is the
ideal wife and helpmate, he is certain!
doomed to severe disappointment.
"He will find that there is no domestic
side to his spouses character. Neither
her education nor her life has been call
culated to encourage in her the IN
stincts of the mother or the housewife.
She has no desire for children; less in
clination has she to be troubled with
them if they come. She cannot be
bored with household details She con.
fines herself to issuing orders to we'll
drilled dependents, rates all misper-
formance in loud key, and checks the
bills with the acuteness of lawyer
clerk. She has no taste for home life.
on the contrary, she counts every morn
ing wasted that she spends at home,
and would die of ennui were she con-
demned for long to be the sole society
of her husband.
"Very quickly he will find that her
theory of life comprehends only an end
less round of gaety and perpetual
circle of expenditure. The country is
effervescence of the bridal return, when
the house is filed as rapidly as it emp
ties, and the neighbors are all in actiN-
ity to welcome the bride. But when the
long evenings set in and 1t is no longer
possible to tear about all day, and the
landscape assumes the gray hue of win
Ter, very soon she tires of it. grows rest
less and discontented, while her natur-
ally strident voice assumes sharper
and more disagreeable note. So at last
the country seat is left to take care of
itself and the couple hastens to Lon
don. Paris Cairo or Monte Carlo, where
she is soon herself again. The end of
this is sure to come sooner or later.
THE husband grows tired of the home
that is no home, the wife who is no
companion except for other people ana
the new friends. whose faces there is
barely time to get to know by sight.
He returns to his work. his sports or
his dissipatious with renewed ardor, and
profoundly regrets that he did not mar
ry in America where incOmpatibility of
tpmperment is valid ground for d!-
Vorce london World.

world The war was succeeded by an era
of speculation in Berlin. Stocks and real
estate jumped upward. and II was so until
the panic of 1873, when there was a coll
lapse. The city soon recovered, however,
ana IL is now one of the most prosperous
of the world. The same thing Will be re-
peated in Tokyo. Prices Will advance, and
real estate is bound to 90 up. An era of
speculation will probably follow, and the
man who goes in now and sells out quick
will probably do we'll The japanese have
their stock exchanges. and their water
works stock. their railroad stocks and their
newspapers. Many of the companies have
been paying big dividends, and this is es-
pecially so of the banks.
Electric Possibilities.
The seaports have been steadily growing,
ana real estate in these ought to be good.
Take, for instance, Yokohama. 1t was a
fishing village when Commodore Perry first
came to the country. 1t has now pop
uatiou of more than 10000 and it is n town
of water works, gas and newspapers.
Electric Railroads.
Tokyo has now more than 100000 people
and the probability is that IL contains more
than million and a half. 1t is only four
teen miles from Yokohama. through a
thickly settled country, and an electric
railroad built between the two points would
undoubtedly pay.
At present there are no electric roads In
Tokyo, and there are no street car lines in
Yokohama, The field for electric railroads
is practically uncultvated. and by the new
treaty II would be possible for Americans
to engage in such work outside OF the

treaty ports. Take the town of Osaka in
the central part OF the empire. IL has
with its suburbs, 100000 people, and there
is not an electric railroad in 1t. 1t lies
sixteen miles back from the seacoast, and
is connected hy railroad with the town OF
Kobe. Kobe was very small at the time
that Japan was opened, but by the census
OF 1890 II contained lS6,00O people. An cleo
trlc railroad between Kobe and Osaka
ought 10 pay. This part OF Japan is one
succession of villages, and only few miles
west of Osaka Is the great city of Kioto,
which was for years the capital of Japan,
and which is now as big as Washington
or Cleveland. If an electric line was
stretched from Kobe TO Osaka, and thence
on 10 Kioto. It would strike Villages at
almost every mile of travel and 1t would
accommodate population OF fully 100000
of people. The Japanese are great travel
ers. They make long excursions over the
country TO visit the most sacred temples
and shrines, and mel hundreds Of families
walking along the road from one sacred
point 10 another The railroad cars are
well hlled. and these electric roads would
pick up many parties out on these trips
of religion and pleasure combined. As 10
uhe electric light field, that is also great.

and cities. There are few gas plants. and
