Love and niiteracy in England.

Dispute all that the English education
acts have accomplished during the last
quarter of century, the men who, in
1894, signed the marriage register with
marks instead of with their names
were in the proportion of 46 per 900,
while the similarly illiterate women
reached Sd per 1000. The registrar
general states that in IA out of every
600 marriages both bridegroom and
bride signed with marks. That some
Improvement is going on is, neverthe-
less, made evident by the circumstances
that, unsatisfactory as the foregoing
figures may appear. yet, as compared
with those of 1898, the proportion OF
men who signed with marks exhibits
a diminution equal to eight per cent,
and that of women n diminution Of
5.3 per cent.-Chicago Tribune.
