was not to free the unmarried from legal
bondage that the long hard fight was
made in this country. for the laws did not
discriminate against the spinster with
especial injustice. whatever social custom
might have done. Practically all of the
beneficent changes in the statutes relat-
ing to women, In the last half century,
have been made to protect the wife from
the husband. Most OF the inequalities
which still remain affect only married
women. The one who remains single has
little to fear.
There is not a business partnership OF
any kind that could survive under condi-
tions which placed one member of the
firm under the absolute domination and
control of the other. By what logic then,
can we expect it in a partnership where

and firmer basis.
While modern conditions OF life allow
men and women innumerable opportuni-
ties of meeting, these are of the most
superficial character and do not permit
the long and thorough acquaintance which
always should precede marriage. The
latter brings many disillusions even to
those who believed they had the most abb
solute knowledge of one another, and
they often repent at leisure to as great
a degree as those who married in haste.
Society in the so-called middle and upper
classes permits the unmarried to meet
only under artificial conditions, at balls
receptions, dinners, teas-devoted to small
talk with the accompaniment of music,
flowers, gala attire and crowds of people
all attractive and delightful, In a way,
but affording no chance for a study OF
character, temperament. tastes and ideas.
Yet on such acquaintance as this the
young folks marry and set about to face
the great problems of real life. That,
under such circumstances, more than 80
per cent. of marriages prove so endurable
at least that the parties make no effort
to have them annulled is greatly to the

may make some women so exacting in
the choice of a husband as 10 prevent
marriage altogether, they do not deter
constantly increasing number of men from
marrying. Men themselves are continual
ly raising the standard for wives. and Wo-
men are striving to reach it, but no sooner
has this been done than they themselves
fix a nobler standard for husbands. Thus
each assists the other to rise, and ootn
attain a higher level; while the nearer
that of the woman approaches that or the
man the greater becomes his respect LOT
her. In the realm OF education she mas
gained hundred-fold in his regard since
he has learned that her mental powers
are not inferior to his own. This is equal
ly true in the business world, since she
has demonstrated her capacity IN its many
and varied departments. The logical con-
clusion, therefore, cannot be evaded that
there must be a corresponding increase
of respect when she takes her rightcI
place in affairs of government.
This evolutin is developing not only
women, but men, and it is producing
greater mutual regard than ever has ex-
listed in the history of the race. Eventu'
ally this attitude must extend to the re-
lations between husbands and wives, with
the inevitable result that, in the fullness

GERMANY'S INDUSTRY.
Measured by the Consumption OF o
and of Iron 1t shows Adj
vancemenf-

The year book of the German Mari
time union for 1901, quoted by Con-
sui Hossfeld, at Trieste, in a report to
the state department. regards the
consumption of coal and iron as the
most reliable measure of industrial
activity in Germany. The consump-
ton of coal rose from 4,T47 pounds per
capita in 1896 to 5.1s5 pounds in 1885,
and of iron from 271 pounds per cap
tia in 1896 to 500 pounds in 1s9s. The
revenue derived by the kingdom OF
Prussia in 1898 from the produce OF
its forests amounted to $19,27S.OOO, an
increase of nearly $4,000, 900. as COM
pared with 1896. The growing con-
sumption of meat. sugar and beer is
also mentioned as an additional sign
of economic prosperity. Consul Hoss~
field says that while the average per-
son in Germany contented himself
with 1873 quarts of beer in 1896. he i'm
creased his allowance to 131 quarts in
1898. The freer use of animal food
is shown by the larger revenue de-
rived from the meat tax, the increase
being estimated at fully IS per cent.
in the space of two years.

HOUSE Is EXPANDING
Apportionment Bill Just Passed
Gives Membership of $50.
Act VIII Not Go Into Eject Until After
the Third Day OF March, 1003-
Table Showing New APP
p-orffoumcnt.

Under the terms of the apportion-
ment bill, just passed by the house,
the membership of 3S6 goes into ef-
feet after the third day of March,
1903. The congress elected last No
yember goes into office theoretically
on March 4 next, and expires by Inn
itation with the conclusion of the
third day of March, 1903. That, which
is the Fifty-seventb congress, OF
course. has a membership of 357. The
congress TO be chosen under the new
apportiobment of $50 viii be elected
in November, 1902, and although the
term of office will begin on March 4,
1903, the meeting viii be held the
first Monday in December following.
1t is believed the senate will undoubt-
eddy pass the apportionment bill pre-
viding fer 3S6 members of the house
inasmuch as that number prevents
any loss of representation by any sin
gle state, and thus there is scarceIv
any chance for a combination
against il.
The system of apportionment is I'm
doubtedly fair, whatever may be
thought of the wisdom of increasing
the membership of the house. The
number of ESQ is arrived at by taking
the ratio of one representative TO
194,1s2. This gives 800 representatives
on an even division, but it leaves four
states with no representative at all
and p having remainders which are
more than one-ha,f of the ratio.
These are added so as to make the
total membership 3s6. This is net
the system recommended by the cen
sus Office ard used by Mr. Hopkins.
1t is what is known as the compound
ratio. which recognizes all majority
fractions and which entirely elm
mates all the curious ~paradoxes seen
in the census Office method.

house by states uader the new appor-
tionment- is as follows:
