Marriage Increasing in England.

Great Britain is fourishing. The
sure test is the marriage record sh hown
in the Registrar Generals annual re.
port just issued, in which it appears
that the rate is higherthan it has been
in twenty-one years. The Registrar
points out that marriage rate usual
ly keepsin close touchswith the value
Of British exports and imports. and
the price of wheat. Up goes trade,
and up goes the marriage rate! Not
exactly romantic, but eminently prac-
tical. It seems that widowers have
been in greater demand than widows,
for SO out 100 of the men married in
the course of the year we're widowers,
whereas only 50 out of 1000 of the
women who married were widows.
Nearly half of the bachelors and
spinsters were married between the
ages of 81 and 25. The favored age
for the re-marriage of widows and
widowers was between 35 and 40. In
one out of every 100 Of the marriages,
husband and wife could neither read
nor write, and signed the certificate
with their mark. New York Press.

PROF.. HENRI VAN TAssEL.

And before Stanley had recoveredfrom
his amazement, the owner of the name
stood, bowling, in the doorway.
"Oh, come in!" exclaimed Stanley,

first, I don't think I should have had
you come up, but since you are here,
perhaps you can be useful. Shut the
door, and lock it, too; I don't want tc

The person to whom these curt
words had been addressed obeyed the
concluding direction with the air of q
slave who acknowledges master; and,
coming forward, he dropped into a
chair to which Stanley pointed with
insolent Indifference.
Professor Van Tassel was q small,
dark, slender man of an uncertain age
that, according to circumstances and
the hour of the day, might have been
variously guessed at anywhere from
thirty to fifty years. Just now he
looked about forty; pale, with sunken
cheeks, longish, straight hair, gaunt
and hungry, with large, wild eyes and
an inexpressible appearance OF loss.
No one that ever looked at him and
was capable of putting into thought
the effect produced by his appearance
could have failed to be conseious OF
this curious sense of loss which he car.
ried about with him like an atmosphere;
to some it was pitiful, to others ridicu-
lous, and to others still. and by far the
greater number, it was perfectly inex-
plicable. To Stanley, who understood it
perhaps even better than the victim
himself, it brought sudden feeling
of triumph, as he thought of many
ways in which he could make this
wretched being useful.
"Well, old fellow, how did you find
me out?" he asked, in jocular tone.

learned that you had been staying
here for some time, that you had re-
turned day or two since from Chi

court to the pretty San franciscan

scalloped will be much seen in silks
and woolens.
There is no question that the silk
fringe which was introduced last fall
will be further used, and the innu.
merable narrow silk fringes, both on
the edges of scarfs, draperies, founcee
and small shoulder affairs, will have a
most broad use. These fringes will

A Cloth Costume a Necessity.

In spite Of coats and skirts, an en-
tire cloth costume remains necessity
in every wardrobe. There are so
many bewitching little short Jackets
that can be worn with any gown that
it is very hard to resist buying them.
They are almost without exception in
the Eton shape at the back, but with
long tabs in front, are made Of differ
ent colors in cloth, two shades OF gray,
the lighter shade being used in the
revers, collar and cuffs. In blue they
have facings of darker blue velvet,
and an outline OF black satin making
the revers still larger. Then there
are the short velvet coats, Of which
mention has been made before, and
few-as yet only very few-of black
cloth, entirely covered with small steel
beads, and made with black satin re-
vers heavily embroidered in steel and

which does away with the rude

out an apology to themselves for its
lack of elegance. Every room in the

DOCTOR CAUGHT MAPPING,
President of the Police Board
Neglected a Legal Tech
nicaIity.

In a suit of DR.. John D. McGill against
Captain Daniel NcWilliams, the tugboat
man. to recover s126 "A for medical SER
vices, Norman L. Rowe, the defendant $
counsel, questioned Dr. McGill's right to
practice medicine. This created a great
surprise. The Doctor has been practis-
ing here, and very successfully, for about
a quarter of a century. When. therefore
Mr.. Rowe alleged that DR.. McGill had
been practising all this time illegally, 1t
caused a shock.
Ii turned out that the Doctor had ne
elected to file his certificate with the
County Clerk, as the law requires, and
that he has, therefore. been technically
practising contrary to law. The omission
was remedied, however, on Saturday, Mr.
Tenant, Dr. McGilrs counsel, having
filed the certificate on Saturday. AS a
matter of fact, DR.. McGill filed his GER
tificate with the Board of Health when
he began to practice, but he did not COM
ply with the law Of 1885, which requires
a copy of the certificate to be filed With
the County Clerk.
Mr.. Rowe contended yesterday that the
doctors failure to file his certificate
barred him from suing any OF the
patients. Mr. Tenant held that the
doctor might be liable to indictment for
misdemeanor, but he was not prohibited
from suing for his just dues Judge
Nevius refused to permit Mr.. Rowe to
amend his plea and directed verdict
for the plaintiff for the full amount. MI
Rowe said he would take an appeal.
