Limits to Marriageable Age

10 ~ tSCoOb0 SAkCe
1t makes considerable difference in
the matrimonial advantages of a per.
son where he may have been born or is
citizen. This remark applies with
peculiar force to the minimum age
which renders a union legal 1t in a
measure implies the consent Of parents
or guardians in all the instances cited,
although once united the law sustains
the marriage maugre dissent Of the
parents. etc. In Austria fourteen years
are looked upon as sufficient to entitle
a person Of either sex to take on the
burdens of matrmony. Germany re-
quires the male to be 1S and the female
16. In France and Belgium the man
must be 16 and the woman Is. In Spain
the intended husband must have pass
ed his fourteenth year and the woman
her twelfth. The law In Hungary for
Roman Catholics Is that the man must
be IA years old and the woman II; for
Protestants the man must be 1S and
the woman Is. In Greece the man
must have seen at least fourteen sum-
mers and the woman twelve. In Rus
sia and Saxony they are more sensible,
and a youth must refrain from matri-
mony till he can count fourteen years
and a woman until she can count six
teen. In Switzerland men from the
age Of 15 and women from the age Of
IL are allowed to marry. The Turkish
law provides that any youth and maid
who can walk properly and can under
stand the necessary religious service
are allowed to be united for life.

Remarkable photographs Of the "rina
nebula" In the constellation Lyra have
recently been made ut the Msndon OBJ
servatory near Paris. These pictures
show q great deal Of diffused nebulous
matter inside the ring, but none outside,
while in the center appears the image
Of star. This star can also be seen
with q telescope. But the drawings Of
the ring nebula made by Herschel in
1888, by Lord ROsse In 1874, and by
Trouvelot in 1873. show no star there,
and Monsieur Rabourdan thinks this
may indicate that changes are going on
In the nebula; such, for instance. as the
formation Of a solar body within the
ring.

Useful Hints.

It is a good plan to burn pine tar oc-
casionally IN a sick room, as ii is an
excellent disinfectant and 1t also in
duces sleep.
The teeth should be brushed up and
down rather than across from one
tooth to another. as the particles to
be removed are generally between the
teeth. Remember also that the in
sides and tops Of the teeth need
brushing as much as the outside.
When anything has been spilled on
the stove, or milk has boiled over and
a suffocating smoke arises. sprinkle
the spot with salt and it will quickly
disappear.
1t is important to remove tar, wheel
grease. etc. from wash goods before
placing them in the suds. and soap
should not be rubbed first on any
stain, as II will tend to set 1t. To re-
move the tar or grease from white
goods rub with oil of turpentine and
soap. alternating with streams Of wa
ter. For colored cotton and woolen
goods. rub lard thoroughly into the
spot and let 1t lie until the tar seems
loosened, then treat alternately with
oil Of turpentine. soap and water. Silks
may be treated carefully in the same
manner. using benzine instead of oil
Of turpentine.

diagram here given not only shows
the bones, but the distribution of the
blood vessels. Interesting features
clearly demonstrated are the rich capil-
larry plexus, which nOurishes the deli
cate organs Of touch at the tips of the
fingers. and the peculiar rings or loop
Of the artery leading to the thumb,
whereby that member may be easily
extended without risk Of breaking the
vessel. At the top of the fourth digit
n ligature had been tied and the con-
tents squeezed out Of the vessels (the
hand had been amputated). The nutri-
ent artery, so called because 1t feeds
the bone, is seen just between the two
bones Of the arm, to each Of which 1t
gives of a branch. At the palmar ends
Of the finger bones little fat plates may
be seen. separated by small spaces from
the main parts of the bones. A medi-
cal man can by this means determine
the age Of the body Of a young person,
because he knows that at a particular
age certain bones have or have not
united.

recently that the word gargoyle has
found its way into our dictionaries,

a few years ago. But now 1t Is not
only included, but chosen for illustra-
ton, in Photographed works that are
enlivened with wood cuts. This ad-
vance in public estimation Is probably
the result Of the exceptional wave In

had not been diverted from falling OF
their roofs into the foundations Of their
buildings, but so treated these discharg-
Ing spouts heads from their cutters as
mentation. The application Of the term
gargoyle to these contrivances Is said
to be due to the dragon-like character
that was at first given to them, coupled
with the fact that there was a particu.
lar dragon known by that name that

Those who have studied the subject
aver that many Of them are fine works
of sculpture and they are often so
adroitly placed as to bring out the
salient points Of a fabric and conduce
to its pleasing effect. They were EN-
ployed from about the middle of the
thirteenth century, and were gradually
improved in form and delicacy of de-
sign and execution. At first they were
somewhat short and thick, but after q
time were made longer. to project fur

of tears choked her utterance, and she hid
her face against his shoulder.
Standish pressed her closely to him, and
murmured some half articulate words Of
comfort. She felt his heart beating
strongly against her own, and was con-
scious that she could stay in those dear
arms forever, half because of the weary's
childs desire to be comforted; half from
the passionate woman's love for the man
who had been everything to her from her
childhood.

 The captain looked down at the long table.

That rod broke, and, in breaking, it damaged other parts of the machinery. Doubtless you heard the three thuds which it gave before the engine was stopped. At present, it is impossible to tell how long it will take to repair the damage. However, even if the accident were serious. we are right in the track of vessels, and there is no danger"
