MercenaFy Marriages.

In this materiali>tic age much is said
in favor of so-called mercenary mar
riages. In justification of them It is
urged that as the rich may inspire An
honest affection quite as readily as the
poor, it is the part of wisdom to select
Il matrimonial partner from the more
fortunate class. So the romantic beings
who live to love, and TO whom love is
life. this seems hard reasoning: but
there is no doubt that money mitigates
many unhappy marital conditions. and
even if one repents of his choice 1t IS
better, as Thackeray wittily said, to.
repent in a coach and four.

A boy Of 16 and a little girl were
walking down a street Of a New York
town a few weeks ago when the girl
suddenly screamed, and her companion
saw that Il wire hanging from i pole
had brushed against her face and scar
ed it. Grasping the wire in his hand to
pull it away from the child, he dropped
dead at her feet. Investigation show
ed that Il wire from the telephone cir
cult in falling had crossed an electric
light wire. and thus had become charg-
ed with the powerful current. Ignor-
ant of all this, the boy had, with man
ly instinct, sought to relieve the child.
1t doubles the sadness of the result to
know that if his instinct had been
trained to modern conditions, he would
have caught the child away from the
wire instead of touching it himself;
and that the sacrifice of his life was
needless. The extraordinary preva-
lence of the electric wire imposes the
knowledge Of two facts upon every
person bordering upon civilization,
facts which have to do with life and
death. for oneself and those about one.
The first concerns prevention. Every
man, woman and child should be
taught to avoid touching wire hang
ing in the air or lying upon the ground.
The probabilities are that it is harm
less. The possibilities are that it is
deadly. 1t may be ''alive" in itself: or
it may be so lightly charged as to be
harmless in itself but deadly through
having fallen upon live wire. Who
ever sees a hanging wire should trace
its source. and if il seems dangerous.
keep guard that no person Or animal
touches it. and report it instantly to
the authorities. Prevention is better
than cure, but every one should know
also that person struck down by elec-
tricity is not invariably past resuscita-
ton. Several extraordinary cases are
on record where after even two hours
of seeming death latent life has been
revived. A young electrician in Pitts
field, Massachusetts, accidentally re-
ceived in his body three times as many
volts as are used in putting criminals
to death, and lay apparently dead. For
tunately there was one near by who
knew enough to insist on experiment.
ing with the methods used in restoring
the drowned After time which
seemed eternity the breath came with
fiutter and increased in strength till
the man was restored. Both of these
incidents might be multiplied; but they
are sufficient if they impress our read
ers with the vital facts of prevention
and cure in electrical casualties.
