he said despondently, as he rose to go
about his work.
We'll, we Will hope for the best, at any

about putting tn4 breakfast room in or

sunshine seemed less bright as she gaZed
lovingly about the rooms that had become
SO dear to her, because of the many hap

doubly dear now that there Was possi

thing bright and pretty, and where we
have taken SO much comfort" she said
mournfully. sob, if | only knew some
way by which the money could be raised. y
Mechanically she took up newspaper of
recent date, when her eye rested upon the
following notice:

gazed around the room at the lovely pot

everyone who saw them to be the finest

lay the pretty beds just ready to plant for
the season with all kinds of seeds. Il

at the thought OF the good the money

When Ralph came in to dinner his wife

next morning to the editor OF the floral

essay, determining, however, to be very
careful not to let her husband know any
thing Of what she was doing, in order to
surprise him should she succeed.
That evening as Ralph passed his wife's
workstand, he noticed letter; he picked
it up and saw that it was addressed
in his wite's handwriting to Lester Huges,

A DANGEROUS PEST.
Remarkable Traits of the SO-CaIIed
White Ant.

Commenting on the ravages of the So
called white ant on the timbers of a Balt-
more church, Prof W. G. Johnston, Mary
land state entomologist, is quoted by the
American as saying:
THE insect is one of the most peculiar
known to science. When at work ii always
avoids the light. 1t has the remarkable
habit of tunneling a board or piece Of
timber completely, making the interior
series of galleries, while the exterior
would appear perfectly solid. Instructive
ly, it never perforates the exposed surface
of board or timber, unless IL is for the
exit of the winged forms. These mines
often extend the entire length of a TIM
Der or board-from twenty-five to fifty
feet. When passing from one place to
another where exposure would be neces-
sary, the insects build a covered tunnel,
or runway, out of the particles of wood
which pass through their bodies. This
substance looks like sand, and to the av-
erage observer would be mistaken for it.
The fact that these pests undermine tim
bers in this manner makes their presence
exceedingly undesirable. A sill or post
might look perfectly solid when, in fact,
it would be a mere shell as indicated by
some pieces of fence railing taken from
a board fence near the church. Outside
the rail looked solid, but when cut open
there was exposed innumerable irregular
tunnels, separated only by the thinnest,
delicate partitions
There seems to be little or no doubt
that sills in the Sunday school room OF
the church are honeycombed In this man
ner. Fortunately, however there can be
no danger of a collapse of the floor in this
instance, as the timbers are imbedded in
the sand, there being no cellar beneath.
entire IF he mill
soon be torn out, and the breeding places
of the pests thus destroyed. The old fence
and outbuilding will also be torn down
and the lumber destroyed by burning BY
this heroic treatment hope before anoth-
er breeding season comes on we can exter-
inmate the pest entirely.
Although this pest at times is a serious
thing, dc not think in this instance there
need be any alarm. II Is perfectly harm
less to persons, and can be handled with
out the least danger. There are many
cases on record where large timbers have
been reduced so that floor collapsed
without the least warning. floor in the
shops of Mr.. Alvin Clark of telescope
tense fame, gave way some years ago,
and when the cause was ascertained 1t
was found that the main supports, which
were of wood, had been completely mined
by these pests. Another instance of this
KIND occurred a few years ago in the shops
OF the mechanical building of the Ohio
State University, where a heavy post set
in cement, was found mined in the same
manner. In Illinois. in 1894, the pest was
found mining the shelves and books in a
Store room where public documents were
kept in the state house at Springfield.
Many other instances could be cited but
these will suffice to show that this IS
serious pest and of grave Importance.

into prominence. The discussions that are

The "marriageable age" varies greatly.
In Austria a man" and woman of IA
are supposed to be capable of conducting a
home of their own. In Germany the man
must be at least IS years of age. In
France and Belgium the man must be IS
and the woman 10. In Spain the intended
husband must have passed his 14th year
and the woman her 18th. The law in
Hungary for Roman Catholics is that the
man must be IA years old and the woman
u; for Protestants the man must be Is and
the woman IS. In Greece the man must
have seen at least IA summers and the wo-
man u. In Russia and Saxony they are
more sensible, and youth must refrain
from matrimony till he can count is years,
and the woman till she can count 16. In
Switzerland men from the age of IA and
the women from the age Of II are allowed
to marry. The Turkish law provides that
any youth and maid who can walk prop
erly and can understand the necessary re-
ligious service are allowed to be united for
life.

generally 1t has a taste.
When a man and woman join hands
at the alter, they contract an alliance
not only with each other, but in an in
direct way perhaps, with their respective
families. Many do not attach much i'm
portanee to this fact, but it is a. fact.
nevertheless, that no amount of sophistry
can explain away.
A young woman has promised to marry
the man who appeared to her possessed
of all the attributes that make up man
ly man.
She has long made up her mind. hoy
ever that Johns sisters are loud and
his mother impossible she wonders how
such people can have a son and brother
like dear john and after marriage she
intends keeping them at a distance.
The wedding day arrives, and she hears
Johns mother calling her daughter but
to her ears it does not imply much; is
only one of the forms to be gone through
on that happy day.
Then comes the honeymoon time, and
for two whole weeks the bride has Jonn
all to herself. No thoughts of his rela-
tons obtrude themselves on that blissful
time.
When the couple return to town to take
up their abode in the coy home that
dear john has prepared, Mrs John finds
herself greeted by her mother-in-law and
sisters-in-law, as well as by her own
mother and quiet schoolgirl sister. The
two latter, however, are quite overshad-
owed by Johns relations, and Mrs John
resents the fact in her heart.
AS the days go by, she discovers that
her people-in-law show no disposition en-
tirely to relinquish Johns society because
he has married a wife. He Is still the
son and brother, although he has become
a husband, and the first frown that she
remembers TO have seen on his brow is
caused by a petulent remark of hers that
she wishes his sister Flora would stop
somewhere else than with them. while
her own home is shut up during the tenn
porary absence of the rest of the family
Notwithstanding the grudgingly accord
ed acknowledgment that there can be no
real doubt about the courage of the indiv-
ual members of the Seventh says the New
York Tribune, the general verdict of So
ciety, of which for so many years it has
been considered the representative regi-
ment, is severe in regard TO their late ac-
