opposed marriage Settlements.

Just before John G. Calhoun's mar
rage he had long talk with the legal
counsel Of his sweetheart's mother re-
garding Floride's marriage settlement
and directly thereafter, says George
Wolsey Symonds in The Ladies' Home
Journal, wrote to his prospective moth
er-in-law on the subject: From preju-
dice or reason 1 have always been OPP
posed to marriage settlements. / think
experience and reason prove them to
be unfriendly to the happiness OF the
marriage state and that they tend to
produce pecuniary embarrassment. In
that state there should be one interest,
one happiness and one destiny. That
entire confidence which is reposed by
female in the object of her choice in
placing both her honor and her prop
erty in his custody gives rise to the
most sacred and tender regard. A
marriage settlement implies distrust.
1t is no safety against inevitable acct
dent. 1t is guard against the i'm
prudence or misconduct of the hus-
band only. If successful in life, there
is no benefit in one. If unsuccessful,
what more disagreeable than to have
property, but not to be able to pay just
debts? 1t would to me be wretched.
1t would be splendid poverty"

Forgot Her EnrIi.h.

A young Russian woman who has
only been for a few months in this
country is an intrepid speaker of Eng
lish and is constantly telling her
friends that she has mastered the Ian
guage in this short space without any
difficulty whatever. The other after
noon when she called on a society belle
she was shown at once to the boudoir
of her hostess and found that young
woman in charming negligee costume.

sian maid replied viyaciously in her
pretty accent. II would not do SO; no,

Then there was an embarrassed
pause, and the American had just COM
menced in constrained voice to talk
of the weather when there were signs
of wild excitement from the Russian.

Ordinarily the animal is quiet enough.

that she ceases to be a purring cat and
becomes fiend incarnate The other
morning the tigress was In an extreme
" bad temper. When her fancied en-
envy stuck a mop in through the bars
to clean her cage, she sprang at him,
growing in thunderous bass. Nearly
everybody in the crowd stepped back
involuntarily. The keeper placed an
iron bar in the cage Mt the great cats
feet and went on with his work, while
the animal snarled in impotent rage
and drew back her upper lip oyerstwo

She doesn't seem to be fond of you,"
ventured bystander.

came here eight years ago. A day or
two after she arrived had to punish
her, and she has never got over 1t.
She watches me all day out of the cor
