A CHANCE OF MARRIAGE.
RECRUITS FOR THE ARMY.

The boys stay in the asylum until
they arrive at the age of compulsory
military service. They then go into
the army, generally as musicians. They
are amongst the most intelligent of the
Spanish soldiers. The great military
bands of Spain are almost exclusively
made up from these Institutions.

so of Andalusia; to all excepting the
rich they mean work The streets,
cafes and other public resorts take
their places. The number of young
Spaniards who marry unless possessed
of fortune or marrying one, grows
less and less year by year. To marry
without wealth means struggle they
are not equal to.
For n wife they substitute a mistress
who, by her industry, assists in main
tanning their establishment. When to
prolong their partnership means work
for the man it is dissolved. This fea-
ture of Spanish life is by no means
insignificant, as is shown by the fol-
lowing statistical data taken from FL
Heraldo de Madrid of November "a,
1890. 1t says:
According to carefully compiled sta
tistics of this publication, it is cal
clllated that in Madrid there are 81, 900
persons living together as husband and
wife without being married. In Bar
celona there are %. 00G; in Malaga, a.
600; in Valencia, 13, 900: in Sevilla. H.

The given populate of Cadiz in
cludes the floating population of the
bay and the inmates of three CHART
able institutions. The citizen adults of
the city do not exceed $4,000; of this
number it seems that 5000 contract pu-
tative marital relations without con-
sulting church or state.

THE II.LEGITIMATE.
To care for the fruit of the foregoing
conditions and customs, there is in
every large city of Spain an institu-
ton called la Cuna," meaning the
cradle. 1t is generally located in the
most retired part of the city. Upon the
side least exposed to view there is a
turn-stile in the wall. 1t is easy of
approach, and anyone can stand before
it unseen and deposit in the stile a
newborn babe, ring an electric bell,
turn the stile' and depart.
Within are Sisters of Charity, who
care for the babe. In these places the
child stays until it is years of age,
unless sooner claimed.
1t is then sent to an orphan asylum,
where, if a girl, it is taught sewing,
embroidery, cooking and other domes-
tic duties. If these girls marry before
they leave the asylum, which they
leave at the age of II, they are given a
dover of 5000 by the government.
A CHANCE OF MARRIAGE.
Any young man we'll recommended
by his pastor an visit any girl he de-
sires to make his wife during her last
year in the asylum. The visits take
place at stated times in the presence
of the sisters who have charge of the
ward in which the girl may be at

domestic servants, their education be-

The HeliOgraph.

With all it's superiority in distances
the heliograph is too uncertain for sole
reliance. A passing cloud is sufficient
to interrupt the clearest signals, per-
haps in the critical moment of battle,
or sun haze may render invisible the
rays from the largest mirror, SO that at
any time without clear atmosphere
the system is useless.
1t is not known that the photographic
system has ever been i'll use on ship

for daylight signaling that approaches
its accomplishment in dry atmospheres
For night service at sea the flashlight
appears to be the best system of signal

casions the long bean of tie electric
searchlight thrown up on the sky has
proved effective for communication
when it was possible by 40 other means.

The Awkwasdnsss Of Being q Prince

The AWkW@sdnoss of Being . Prince.
The Prince Of Wales is placed by fate
in the most difficult position of any
English subject. Libeled necessarily,
continuously and Indignantly silence
is imposed OH him by reasons of state.
II he patronizes the drama, for the
neglect of which the queen is persist
emily blamed, the prince is depicted as a
trifler, who finds in the society of
mummers relief from the tedium of q
wasted life. If he encourages our ma
tional sports, he is profigate and is
compared with royal predecessors,
whose conduct would certainly not
commend itself today even to the
stanchest supporters of monarchy. If
he does not lavish money he does not
possess, he is said to be stingy. If he
makes an outlay ON church at Sand
bingham or a ball at Marlborough
House, he is a spendthrift. Unworthy
friendships are attributed to him with
men upon whom he has never set eyes
or with whom he may perhaps have ex
changed a casual word. II he plays a
game Of cards, he is gambler.
Fierce as is the light that beats upon
throne, the cruel and searching illumi-
nation of the princes life inficts on
him the disabilities and responsibilities,
while denying him either the power of
the throne or the privileges of q private
station. -Harper's Magazine.

Cate OF Diner Days.

The lot of the average nineteenth
century cat does not compare favurahly
with that of its ancestors. Everybody
knows that the early Egyptians held
the cat sacred, and any one injuring a
sacred animal was liable to severe pun
ishment. Among the ancient laws Of
Wales was statute which prohibited
the slaughter of cat under curious
penalty. The owner of the slaughtered
animal held it by the tip of the tail,
with its nose touching the floor, and the
slayer had to give him, by way of com
pensation, as much wheat as would
bury the entire animal out of sight
The grain was supposed to represent
the amount that the owner would lose
through the depredations Of vermiE by
being deprived Of the cat.
Saxony, Switzerland and other Eu-
ropean countries also had laws enacted
for the protection of cats, which were
regarded OF economic value. Now, how
