There is no reasO why American
girls should not marry foreigners, pro-
vided that at the time of their mar
riage they are very young, hence sus
ceptible to the new impressions. and
therefore more likely to assimilate
with the people among whom they
make their new home: above all, If
they truly love their husbands, because
love is the great leveler of rank, preju-
dices and differences of race and re-
ligion. as the history of the world has
shown.
For an American woman of mature
years, however, with settled opinions,
Independent and ligh-spirited, to con-
tract IL marriage with a foreigner
would he utter folly, because the inev-
table result would be that both would
come to grief at the first ma irimOnial
jar, simply because foreigners, with
out an exception. consider wolnen the
weaker vessel, beautiful creature to
lie worShiped. but to be kept in lead
ing-strings; as incapable Of self-go-
vernment. Man first and woman Sec
ond is their motto. Furthermore, their
ideas are more conventional than those
of Americans. and they do not deem
it advisable to allow their women as
much latitude as those in the United
States enjoy. Although man was ere
ated first and woman second. the mod
ern theory in America is that she is his
equal. his helpmate and not his in
feriOr. The Latin race consider that
mans sphere is the world and wOman's
province her home.
We would not take a narrow view
Of marriages between Americans and
foreigners, especially as the American
people are a heterogeneous mingling
Of people from all parts of Europe,

Is king in his own right, true, brave,
honorable and chivalrous, while every
woman finds a champion in him. In
no other country in the world is
woman so well protected by laws and
institutions as she is in the United
States.
One reason of so many unhappy mar
riages between American girls and for
eign noblemen is that both have mar
ried not from love. but from interest.
When one Of the hottest ties God has

because heaven frowns on such nm

There is no satisfactory way Of pre-

Off the punches Of smut, and Dnrying
or burning them. Dipping the seed in

does not iniurc the germ, but neither
does it prevent the smut in the case Of

other cereals. The smut of oats,
