MATRIMONIAL FUNDS.
America Is Behind other Countries in
This Respect.
New York World.

New York World.
Are American girls better equipped for
securing husbands than the young women
of foreign countries? Or would the Amer
lean spinster resent interference with her
lot? Or hasn't the country walked up TO
the fact that with certain amount or dis
Greet assistance the institution OF marriage
might flourish even more happily than IL
does?
AT all events, America is far behind other
countries in providing funds from winch
matrimonial prizes may be drawn. In Ger
many, for instance, they are almost en-
barrassingly generous in this regard. In
the town of Haschmann; Tor instance, a
financier. realizing that beauty IL an at
traction hard to overcome, mas PROVIDED
that, out of the income Of fund not less
than $50 shall go to the ugliest VINO may pc
married in any year, and the cripple who
becomes a bride shall receive $50. The four
women not under forty who have been more
than once Tilted by lover receive, When
funds permit, $50 each.
But the trustee can vary from this rule
to give large rewards whenever necessary to
induce some one to marry an unusually
ugly girl or one whose deformity is spe-
cial drawback.
Great Britain is far in the lead in putting
such a prize on matrimony. The late Mar
quis of Butte. millionaire, established a
fund for the benefit of the women of Car
diff, in Wales. To commemorate his silver
wedding in 1897 he presented the town au-
thorities with 5000, to be held as trust
fund, the interest from II each Year 10 De
paid to whatever pair of Cardiff lovers could
satisfy the trustees that they were most in
need OF the fund to help them establish a
home. The young woman must be of good
moral character and her lover of good re-
pute, sober and industrious.
The first endowment under the fund was
made the next year, when a years inter-
est had accrued. nursemaid and a
young man employed in local paper fac
tory satisfied the requirements, were ad-
judged lovers and TO have the capacity OF
becoming useful members of the commun-
ity, and they were consequently awarded
the prize, which amounted to $40.
Dowries for orphan girls are provided
by another fund.- mysterious in origin.
which is distributed by the acting gov
errors of the endowed charities of st.
Georges in the East, London. This
amounts to $3.50 every year. and can be
divided as the trustees see fit, with the
aim of assisting as many girls as possible.
The benefits from ii, however, never fall
below $50 to each girl, and often reach $50.
None can receive aid from this fund until
they can satisfy the trustees that they are
able TO perform the various duties of a
housekeeper, are suited to make good
homen akers and are in love with men who
are steady and Industrious.

LO! THE GRAPE FRUIT.

Ofhand IL seems that IL might be the result
OF a crossing long ago of the lemon with

turned all their efforts toward increasing
its size and improving its flavor. However
that may be, the fact is that every year the
grape fruit seem to get larger and better.
And though some of the efforts made 70
dress them attractively for a table appear
these endeavors shows a decided gain over
what we knew about adjoining the fruit ten
years ago. Some, to be sure, are already
cropping in darkness on the subject but
they will reach the light yet, and more
than likely turn out startling compound
that will have favor at once.
First. il will be remembered, we used

Who would ever suppose that the hya-

root, for which society people sometimes
pay Dutch florists as high as 600 gulden for
a single plant could ever become a nui-
sance? But this is just what 1t does in its
wild state. In Florida Ii grows so rank
upon some of the rivers as absolutely TO
block navigation and logging and the
United States government has been called
upon to wage a war Of determination
against ii.
1t is said that for several months past
the upper part of st. Johns river has been
closed entirely to navigation because these
tropical plants pack so closely that even the
most powerful steamer is unable to break
through, and that in some places there is
such a solid growth that it Is possible for
people to cross the river them II will
perhaps be remembered that some wears

resort to drastic measures to clear the bay-

which has opened subscription for
the erection of a monument. Already
the response has been so generous
that Nj. Jean Leon Gerome, the illus
trious French sculptor and artist, has
been given carte blanche, the only
command issued being that the me-
mortal must be of the finest mate
rails.
He has promised it for the early
part of 1902, but the unwilling will
not take place until the spring days
come and the weather is warm
enough to permit of lengthy and
elaborate ceremony.
The monument is a striking piece
of work. The principal figure rep
resents a dying eagle with one wing
broken and dropping by its side, and
the other extended but pierced with
bullets; one claw firmly grasps the
French flag, while with the other the
mortally wounded bird defends the
colors on which are inscribed the
words: "Austerlitz" and "Eylau."
The eagle is of bronze, and stands
on huge bowlder of marble over
which the flag droops on one side,
and on the other will be carved an
inscription, the exact text of which
has not yet been decided upon, but
it will contain the date of the battle
of Waterloo, and in few brief sem
fences tell the results of the strife
and also state that the monument
is lovingly dedicated to the greatest
general France had and to the noble
men who so courageously and gall
lantly followed their leader.
The eagle measures two meters in
height, and the extending wing three
meters, 25. The entire monument,
with pedestal and bronze, is Is me-
tiers high and is very impressive.
