What to Marry On.

To marry for love and work for
silver is quite right. but there should
be a reasonable chance of getting
work to do and some provision for
rainy day. 1t is only the stupidity
which is without anxiety that COM
placently marries on nothing
week." and that "uncertain-very!'
And yet such flying in the face of
Providence is often spoken of as be.
ing distinguished and heroic, and the
quiverfuls of children resulting from
it are supposed to be blessed. AS If
it We're a blessing to give children ap.
petites of hunger and thirst, and moth
ing to satisfy then.
On the other hand there is some
truth in the saying that "what will
keep one will keep two" There are
bachelors who are so ultra prudent,
and who hold such absurd opinions as
to the expense Of matrimony that, al
though they have enough money, they
have not enough courage to enter the
state. Pitt used to say that he could
not afford to marry, yet his butcher
bill was so enormous that some one
has calculated it as affording his serv-
ants about fourteen pounds of meat
a day, each man and woman. For
the more economical regulation of his
household If for M otI,or roocoo bo
should have taken to himself a wife.

The Chicago fire swept over an area
Of 1875 acres every hour.
It destroyed the homes of 100 people
every minute.
1t was the most terrible confederation
In the history Of the world.
The loss in property was million
dollars every five minutes.
Nearly $4,000 buildings were reduced
to ruins in IS hours, II every min
ute!
Over two hundred millions OF prop
erty destroyed!
A hundred thousand people rendered
homeless in day.
A great painting of the Chicago fire
now belonging to Reed & Gross, Of Chi

Nearly 1000 pounds Of paint and

would have required over twenty
years to complete.
