The wedding Reduced 90 Figure.

stStlstician in New Jersey, with
the lack of delicate feeling common to
his kind. has gone into the question
Of the marriage process from a purely
economic standpoint. He finds that the
1873 Jersey weddings celebrated dur
ing the year have cost about 50. 9S5. 900
in outfits, social functions. honeymoon
trips, fees. presents. etc This is
an average of $1SS and few
odd cents per wedding. The expenses
OF the courtship period are classed as
incidentals, ana they range from $50

making an average Of something like
$50.
1t is doubtful whether the marital
cause is benefited by such tabulntions
as this Jerseyman has made. One likes
to feel q differentiation of cents from
sentiment. The bringing of cold fig
urcs into the nuptial field seems to car

may be more than a failure-even a

Eccentric woman,s Hobby.

Lady Constance Mckenzie is one
of the most aristocratic women in Eng
land. She has won for herself quite
a reputation for eccentricity and is
adding to it day by day.
Her hobby is handling pet snake,
and everywhere she goes the snake
has to go with her
OF course. the snake is a very small
one, but still it is Il snake, and as many
people have an aversion to reptiles
no matter what their size. this fad of
Lady Constance's has aroused much
comment.
The reptile lodges in the bodice of
Lady Constance's dress. and the latter
plays with it ON occasions as if IL were
a piece of jeweiy. She feeds it upon
fish and insects, and says the reptile
is possessed of more intelligence than
many of her acquaintance.
