WON'T DISCUSS FINANCES.
Sweetheart and Lever ResSra-
lag the Wtse's Ino0@e.

There is one phase OF false modesty
in this world that should be abandoned
without furtner parloy. II is the great
reticence kept up between lover and
sweetheart regarding a fixed income
after marriage. Young people on the
brink Of matrimony refuse to allow
money matters mentioned. They shy
away from financial questions as il a
good American dollar were a rattle
snake.
If the pair would settle down to a
practical talk regarding an allowance
misunderstanding OF the gruvest sort
might be spared both of them later on.
1t is the dsty of every husband to
provide q suitable sum Of money for
the personal wants of his wife. The
man not willing to do this is unfit to
assume the responsibilities OF married
life, and the income insufficient to carry
out this arrangement should not be con-
sidered as a support for two.
There is not enough honesty along
such lines during courting days. II
may seem very harsh TO yank two soar
ing souls down from the clouds and
march them along the straight and
narrow way Of bread and butter OK
istence but it's only question of the
tumble bcfore or after marriage.
The higher the soaring the harder
the drOp.
Men p~t not half such fools in this
iss"ect MS women. They would be only
- gad many of them, to know just
how they are to stand in the allowance
business. No. indeed; ninety-nine
prospective brides out of hundred
would be insultcd il the subject were
broached to them. But these same
women, after maCriage, will get deep
bladders under their eyes from con
stsnt weeping over financial birker-
ings.
Swcothcarts and lovers, cannot you
escape long enough from the great
billing and cooing act to sensibly con-
slider ways and means?
a wife's personal allowance should
be gaugcd according to her husbands
income, and the social position which
che is TO assume. Then she would
know exactly what she could have and
what she must do without after she
has cast in her lot with her hearts
choice.
Every wife in this land is entitled
to an independent pocketbook. Just as
surely as her husband is entitled TO his

HIS SHIRT SHOCKED THEM.
why che Hotel FaIrmount Lost It's
UproariOusly ADpareled Aris-
tOcratic Head Waiter.

There is a new head waiter Of the
Hotel Fairmount, owing to a succession
Of sensations that marked the career
Of the first head waiter of the season.
The first head waiter Of the season in
summer hotel is usually a "bird."
Fairmount's first head waiter was en-
ployed without investigation OF his an
tecedents on account of haste. He
looked all right. Mrs Mills, the man
ager thought, being tail, smoothly
shayen, and having his blue-bnck hair
well plastered down over his brow.
Imagine the shiver Of distress among
the guests in the beautiful dining-room
when the new head-waiter appeared In
low-cut waistcoat and swallow tail, re-
vealing d broad expense Of red-Earred
shirt bosom.
Tt was one Of those shirts crossed by
broad red bars sinister, Fashionable
innovation Of years ago credited to the
prince Of Wales and subsequently worn
by prize fighters
Mrs. Mills discovered several pale
guests hastily leaving the dining-room.
What is the mntter?' she asked.
isn't the dinner ight?"
They threw up their hands in silent
horror.
When spoken 90 the new head waiter
was not amenable to reproof. lie In
sisted haughtily that his costume was
absolutely correct and similar TO the
taste of the prince Of Wales It was
only by the NEST supreme exercise of
authority that The tanning Of the shirt
was accomplished.
Next 10 shock the sensibilities Of the
dwellers in Fahmount was the head
walters development Of peculiar
dance step as he moved about the dir
ing-room, which the guests termed
doing the goose foot" His entree re-
sembled. in modified way. the deft
stage entrance Of Eritz. the emineRt
ycdeler. Again 10 was necessary ia
take vigorous measures.
Meanwhile the head waiter did not
grow humble. Instead be assumed the
air Of purse-proud guest and picked
for himself the best raom In the house
One cay he faxed to be present 10 look

il was under consideration whether o.

Indicator recorded an imperlous call
froR his room. Everybody waited
breathlessly TO learn what new horror
awaited the Hotel Fairmount.
He wants his breakfast served in
the room," was the report; 'Gnd he
wants chops, toast and coffee, with
| plenty of cream!"
This Was too much, and Mrs. MILL
advertised sor another head waitar. The
head waiter departed proudly. When
half way down the long promenade he
turned and hissed through his clenohet
teeth:

The Odd king OF ourioa was an en
thusiastic collector OF everything
strange or rare, and he spared neither
pains nor time nor money in adding TO
his treasures. A slight idea of the
value OF his collection may be gained
from the fact that it contained, among
other curiosities, Tic cloak OF Little Red
Riding Hood, nightcap Of ore Of the
Seven Sleepers; the tufret on which sat
Miss Muffet; the pail Of Simple Simon
chimney pot from the house that Jack
built, and picked peppers picked by
Peter Piper.
Now, it happened, one day, that the
king heard of.the treasure at the end OF
the rainbow, and nothing would do but
he must have that; and he forthwith
summoned the chancellor of the ex.
chequer.
oh, but really, your majecty," said
that functionary, there rs only just
enough money in your majesty's cof.
fcrs TO meet the expenses OF the state.
and we had TO raise a loan on Part OF
the regalia to get the peppers. 1t Is
against the law TO put an extra tax
on the people, or we might do il in that
way. Oh, dearl" he ended, ruefully:
III we can't, how can we2"
The difficulty Of the position only in
creased the kings desire lie passed
sleepless nights in consideration, and
then issued "A proclamation:
"Oyesl Oyesl Dyes! Whose shall
bring to his majecty the treasure az
the end of the rainbow shall marry bis
daughter, her royal highncss the peer
less Princess Bloochina. And may the
king live forcver!"
1t was indeed = most tcmPting prize,
for the lady was celebrated for her
beauty and goodness. Two princes,
four barons, lion tanner, thistle-sift-
cr, the owner of Jerusalem pony, and
score of otheC ndventurers immediate-
~ resolved to try their luck. but six
moHths OF hardship was quito enough
for the princes. As to the barons. they
travelled TO gether for company. but
continually squabbled over trihes-
such as who should go first. Some OF
the suitors thought the treasure was
far out on the ocean. and could not
reach IL for Eeasickness; others lost
themselves in wandering over the
mountains; and 80 IL fell ont that, at
tho end Of a year and a day, all but one
had returned 70 their homes and given
up the quest as quite hopeless.-A. f.

puN's REVIEW.
Peace Prospects Have Stimulating In
duence ON Trade.


! NEW YORK. Aug. 6.-R. C. Dun &
Co. : weekly review Of trade says:
Failures were in number fewer in
July than in either Of four preceding
years. and In amount of Liabilities
smaller than In any year excepting the
last. when July failures were the small
est in any month on record. Trading
failures were both fewer and I'm amount
smaller than in any previous year. Two
large failures OF real estate corpora
tions make up nearly a quarter Of the
aggregate this year. and few others
not connected with the general condi-
tion OF business make up over 40 rer
cent Of the manufacturing aggregate.
In the three full months since the war
was declared the failures in manufac-
turing and trading have amounted 10
only $4,000 more than last year and
have been smaller than in the same
months of any other year.
Prospects of peace stimulate many
kinds Of business. In spite Of records.
the impression prevails that delay and
hesitation have legitimately resulted
from war, and larger contracts are in
fact coming forward for iron products,
with a better general demand in most
industries. The volume OF payments
through all clearing houses was the
largest ever known in July, being s per
cent larger than in 1892 for the month,
and for the past week 1877 per cent
larger. Most Industrial works have re-
sumed after a shorter vacation, with
fewer participating than usual. A few
labor troubles only call attention to the
fact that this season has been remark
ably free from such hindrances.
In spite of a promise of $1,000. 600
bushels of wheat including 300 600. 900
spring this year the price Is 1ss cents
higher for the wcoli. The disposition
OF farmers 10 hold back their wheat for
prices more like those obtainable re-
Gently accounts for receipts S6 per cent
smaller than last ye2v, but exports. in
cluding -four. were 96i1, ,e4T bushels
against $3.50 725 for the same week last
year. and for FIVE weeks OF the crop
year 12.474.SS9 bushels. against 9s73, ,l92
last year. The visible supply Is ex-
tremely low, but exportssat the present
rate throughout the year would have
little lifting power II the crop is about
100000 600 bushels more than home needs
for seed and food.
Failures for the week have been 1876 In
the United States, against 237 last year,
and p in Canada. against 2s last year.
