The NInrriarcabIe Age.

The "marriageable age" varies great
ly. In Austria man" and woman"
of fourteen are supposed to be capable
of conducting home of their own. In
Germany the man must be at least
eighteen years of age. In France and
Belgium the man must be eighteen and
the woman fifteen. In Spain the In
tended husband must have passed his
fourteenth year and the woman her
twelfth. The law in Hungary for Ro-
man Catholics is that the man must be
fourteen years old and the woman
twelve; for Protestants the man must
be eighteen and the woman fifteen. In
Greece the man must have seen at least
fourteen summers and the woman
twelve. In Russia and Saxony they are
more sensible. and youth must re-
frain from matrimony till he can count
eighteen years. and the woman till she
can count sixteen. In Switzerland men
from the age of fourteen and women
from the age of twelve are allowed 10
marry. The Turkish law provides that
any youth and maid who can walk
properly and can understand the nee
essary religious service are allowed to
be united for life.

Funny Toot.ache Cures.


Before the days of dentists, and when
people generally believed in the value
Of charms, there were ever SO many
mysterious ways of preventing tooth
ache. One of these was to dress the
right side of the body first-right stock
Ing, right shoe. right sleeve, right glove.
A favorite plan in Scotland was to draw
n tooth, salt 1t well and burn 1t in full
view on glowing Goals. In Cornwall
many save their teeth by biting the first
young ferns that appear. The custom
Of catching common ground mole
cutting off the paws while the little
creature still lives, and wearing them.
is traced to Staffordshire. England.
Some. people who are fond of exercise
believe that walking twelve miles-no
more, no less-to get a splinter OF the
toothache tree that grows particularly
well in Canada and Virginia will drive
away the worst nche and pain that ever
tortured a poor tooth. The belief that
toothache is caused by a worm at the
roots is prevalent in many pa. OF the
world. hence this cure: Reduce sew
eTal different kinds of herbs-the
greater variety the bette TO powder,
Put glowing cinder into this powder
and inhale the incense. Afterward
breathe into cup of water. and the
worm will be gone forever.

Colonel Grant resigned his com

pssisted his father in the preparation
pf his memoirs-that great work OF
fhe lamented general, written during

his country. Colonel Grant had filled

'the fact of his distinguished lineage.
recommended him to one of the great
political parties of New York. and in
'lSs7 he was nominated for the office

political complications of that year,
Colonel Grant failed of an election.
However, in 1888. the following year.

work required boldness. decision in

ran In and out great number OF
times. Captain John Wilkinson made
twenty-one successful runs inside of
twelve months, and not in n fast

ties would invite loss was made appar-
ent In great number of instances
when the steamers were almost
thrown away by bad landfalls. or by
the captain or crew willing at the

WHO WILL PAY ir7
Question as to Whether Corporations Can
Shift the Burden to the Consumer. =

Question rs to Whether Corporations Can
Shift the Burden to the Consumsrs. :.
An Interesting question In connection
with this law Is how far the new taxes
VIII be really borne by those who pay
them In the first Instance. and to what
extent they Will be shifted to the
great body OF consumers. The act IA
cilitates the shifting of tile tobacco
tax by providing for packages contain
Ing one-slzth less than those formerly
used, and doubtless the customary size
of glass of beer will also be re-
duccd In many cases. On the other
hand, the tax on patent medicines and
other proprietary articles is almost too
small to increase retail prices, except
by checking In some degree the ten
dency to sell these goods Mt cut rates.
The act specifically provides that the
lax ON sleeping car and parlor car
tickets is to be paid by the companies
issuing them. and there seems to be
little chance that either this or the tax
on bills of ladlng will be shifted; but
the tax on passage tickets to foreign
ports will doubtless be found to in
crease the expense of trips to Europe
this summer. OF more importance Is
the effect on prices of sugar and oil,
Of the tax on gross receipts of refn-
cries. Professor Sellgman. In his work
on "The Shifting and Incidence of
Taxation" says, at II plain that tax
on monopoly gross receipts can never
be shifted" because prices of monop-
oily articles are already such MS to pro-
duce the maximum PROFITS. From this
reasoning II follows that 80 far ns the
Sugar Trust and the Standard Oil
Company are monopollsts and not sub
ject to the laws of competitive trade.
they will have TO bear the burden OF
the taxes levied upon them. But IL Is
never safe TO predict The precise re-
suit Of tax or of any other one OF the
many elements which determine
prices. 1t is possible. for example, that
the prices OF sugar and oil might be
increased temporarily in the present
emergency for the purpose of discour-
aging resort to the gross receipts tax
