40 shillings, and the only way he could
expiain this was a man would pay most
any price TO be buried after he was mar

WIDOWS WE'RE THE CHOICE.
"A noticeable feature of our ancestors
tastes was their prelilection for widows,
said the speaker, land some fascinating
widow usually carried off the prize: az
instances ] might mention Washington
and the widow Custis, Jefferson and the
widow SHELTON Madison and the widow
Todd. Well could a Southern poet say
OF the widow:
.'.She is modest, but not bashful.
Free and easy, but not bold
Like an apple ripe and mellow,
Not too young and not too old.
Half inviting, half repulsing,
Now advancing and now shy,
There is mischief in her dimplc,
There is danger in her eye

THE ART OF REToUCH1NG.
some Of the Wrinkles of PhOtoG
raphy Brought to Light in
London Court.

Some wrinkles" of photography
were brought to light in the South
wark county court, where a profession
III and an amateur fought out their dis
puted accounts. says the London Iele-
graph. According to the former, the
charge for retouching photo depended
upon the subjects face. His honor sug-
gested that if the physiognomy was a
long one it would cost more 10 retouch
the photograph than that of a person
with a short, small one, and an expret
agreed. adding that some people have
so many frecklcS or wrin kles that they
give lot of extra work. Judge Add
son said he supposed that in some cases
they had to take out such defects and
everything else person didn't like III
order TO make a portrait acceptable, and
the professional concurred. Counsel
went even further and suggested that
not only had imperfections to be taken
out, but nonexistent beauty to be
added.
From this it may be gathered that,
while photography is witness of truth,
the artist is often a hatterer, and as
such expects to be paid. His honor
took the photograph in question and
gazed at it, and then had a good look
at the person present in court whom it
was supposed to represent. After
long inspection of both he said that at
last he understood the art of retouch-
ing and gave the judgment, which
showed that he considered the laborer
was worthy of his hire.

A curious case will come before the
law courts shortly. Some weeks ago u
young doctor and n girl Ct 10 put an end
to their hres in one of the suburban ho-
tells of Vienna. Having no money left
they bequeathed their jewelry, which
they described as '.imitation," and a
watch and chain specified as Of Abyssin-
ian gold to the chambermaid who wait
ed on them. The latter, not Mt all de-
lighted with this worthless and i'll
omened fnery, handed II over to one of
her snbordinates. Then followed the
discovery that the trinkets, so far from
being counterfeit, were genuine. and
OF the costiiest description. their value
amounting to no less than 1000. Re
morse not unnaturally overlook the
original legatee, who had so recklessly
parted with her bequcst, and she has
entered an action against her friend to
recover the goods or their worth on the
ground that the gift was made through

EDUCATION In SPAIN,
From the Following Account Ii

Is Its Absence.

| 4 contributor to the Revue Inter

n few pages the farcal system Of sec
)ndary education in Spain. The schools
II question are the so-called provincial
institutes, where boys between the ages
| # ten and sixteen are instructed and
examined in 80 subjects, seven of which
have been added to the list by a recent
lecree Of the minister of education
viz: Political economy. common law.
history of Spain, literature, history of
art, bookkeeping, and industrial and
agricultural technics. The minister
also recommends visits to the museums.
but, as the writer remarks, in nine
times out of ten where the institutes
are situated, the only museums are the
churches with their wax images. The
boys work from three to four and half
hours day, and the newspapers are in
n rage over such outrageous disregard
for the life and health of the Spanish
youth. The deplorable condition of ele-
mentary education in the kingdom may
be inferred from the status of the com
mon school teachers as depicted in n
recent number of the Padagogische lei
tung. Out of $4,000 teachers, in round
numbers, included in the last census,
nearly 5000 were receiving $50 or less
annually, 5000 were paid from $50 to
si00, and the salary al only loco
to more than $3.50. But the
worst Of it is that thousands of these

tracts entitled them
