NOVEL READING.
An Excessive Amount of It Is Declared to
Militate Against Marriage.

An Excessive Amount of 1t Is Declared to
Mnitate Against Marriage.
A writer in a monthly review, dis
cussing Mr. Balfour's Foundations Of
Belief, !" takes occasion to say that solid
books, dealing with the great problems
of mind and morals, are no longer read
except by few specialists. That an ex
elusive diet of novel reading is extreme
ly debilitating is proved by one series of
facts which are observable in every part
of the civilized world. Men and women
among the reading classes no longer
marry in anything ike such numbers as
they formerly did. and the reason is
that they have no pluck in them to face
lives of Spartan simplicity on limited
incomes
The result is disastrous to women, in
asmuch as it prevents many of them
ever marrying at all For if woman
does not marry when she is young very
few men care to marry her when she is
middle aged Men marry i'll middle life.
but they do not marry women of their
own age They marry young women.
The physiological moral is that it would
be vastly better for both men and wom-
en- to read novels for recreation only,
and when at work to read solid books
which really exercise and develop the
brain In practice the result Of this
would be that both men and women
would have better and stronger brains.
They would marry earlier and with more
courage. They would face the world
more hopefully and successfully, and
they would become the parents Of whole
somer, healthier, happier and more ca
pable children. English Paper.

A unique occupation for a woman is
reported from Berlin. The proprietor Of
a large brewery there received a request
from Russian lady to be shown the
interior arrangements Of the brewery.
After looking at various processes
through which the golden beverage has

tails Of the pneumatic machinery in the
malthouse. which proved 20 the brewer.
to his great surprise. that she was per
fectly familiar with every detail Of the
entire complicated machinery. Upon in
quiry it was learned that the lady, n
Russian countess. had n large acreage
Of barley growing ON her estate. and in
order TO increase her revenue from this
source she had built brewery. which she
managed all alone. She was interested
very much in the pneumatic mailing
apparatus because she could not get
skilled labor necessary for the produc-
tion Of malt ON her Russian estates.
Tasting the product Of the Berlin brew
cry. she stated that her own beer was
not much inferior 20 the German prod
net. When a few days later the brewer
received some samples Of the lady's
Russian beer, he pronounced IL excel
