NEW PROBLEMS OF
 4 MARRIED LIFE Complications Aroused by Wo-
 man Who Works HUSBAND MINDS HOUSE If She Earns as Much as Man Should She Cut Income in Half for
 the Sake of Marry
 ing Him9
HUSBAND MINDS HOUSE

From the New York Sun.
 Marriage presents problems at the pres ent day which were never encountered in the past. Here is case in point:
 A young man and his betrothed were schoolmates and became engaged during their last year in the High school The understanding was that they should wait until he was able to marry.
 He left home and plunged into business life It was hard sledding for some years, but recently he pushed his salary up to the 5000 mark and was ready to marry.
 Meanwhile his Rosalind had not seen fit to sit down and wait for seven years for him to get ready to marry her. She had gone into business herself, and as she had both brains and good family con nections she is now confidential secretary to house which pays her $1S00 year.
 The man must ask her to cut her income in two if she marries him. He does not blame her at all for going to work but he does feel that his position is not an inspiring one to contemplate, for he must either ask her to cut her Income in two to marry him. or else let her go on work Ing TOT a salary dIter tue WSuuihS.
 Cupid and Pecunia have not yet settled their differences in this case. In similar cases they have settled it in variety of ways.
 A very few years ago one of the big dry goods stores employed woman as buyer for one important department She went to Europe four times a year, with all her expenses paid and big salary. In one of her trips she became acquainted with the purser of the vessel. and they made a love match of it.
 The business woman was delighted to give up her fine position and big salary to marry the man she loved and go to live with him in tiny place they pur- chased out on Lond Island. She was charmed with her little home and raised chickens and flowers galore: and when the baby came their happiness would have been complete but for her one great trouble.
 This was that her husband was away from her nearly all the time. She worried so about that that finally he gave up his place as purser on a liner and tried to get job ashore.
 Like a good many other men who have

neglectful. The little country of Holland, proverbal for its thrift. has spent two billion dollars In the improvement of it's waterways. Today that country is with out debt, the richest country in money per capita in the world. Antwerp's budget for this year calls for fifty millions of dollars for the improvement of her harbor Ham burg and Rotterdam with Antwerp, as the direct result of expenditures surpass- ing those made for river and harbor im- provements for our entire country, arc threatening London's supremacy as ports. To the excellence of the internal water ways of Germany Is ascribed much of her recent marvellous industrial progress
 What is promised at Antwerp shows by comparison how small is the allowance made annually in this country for rivers and harbors. For the past ten years the average annual appropriations for fortifi- cations have been something like S6,6O0. 000 for rivers and harbors, Sl9,25oO00; for legislative. executive and judicial expen- ditures. $24. TOO 900; for the navy, $669OO GOO: for the army, $69, 800, GOO; for the postoffice service, $127, 300 GOO; for pensions, $14S,2O0,- 000-an annual total for the seven items of about si6S, GOO 600. Of this amount the rivers and harbors which serve the na- tional commerce. received per cent. The appropriations, moreover, have been made in desultory fashion once every two or three years, with consequent disadvan- tages in the prosecution of projects.

BISHOP DANCED UNcLAD.
Philippine Prelate Endeavors to Emu
 late King David.

From the Manila Times.
 Queer stories of the carrying on of the Aglipayano bishop allotted to one of the Mindanao districts have reached Manila. It is reported that after hay ing looked upon the "cup when it is red" he endeavored to emulate the great King David in his terpsichorean act in Garden of Eden attire--only the reverend bishop did use a covering of sorts, as around bis neck he wore 9 gold chain. to which was suspended the cross of his rank.
 It is said by those who have just come from L.le town where the bishop piroutted in cross and chain that the revelry which abounded in the tempor- ary resting place was far and away be- yond the revels described in Boccacio's "Decameron." The dance he is report ed to have done in the altogether took place ma yard adjoining the house, before a large number of his church adherents.
 And through the ranks vociferating,
 he calPd his Trojans on"
 Among the many things the worthy bishop is reported to have done is the consecrating of muchacho to be a priest of the church. This was done. it is said. after the cup that cheers had been imbibed of freely but not too well.
 The name of the prelate has been withheld from publication only out of consideration for his cloth, such as it Is.

From the Scientific American
 - HARKS often attain a very large
 size along the Pacific coast, espe- > cially off the shores of Southern California Very recently a monster shark was captured by two Italian fisher men in San Pedro Bay that is claimed to be the largest fish of that kind ever caught in the world. Beyond doubt It is certainly one of the largest ever cap- tured anywhere.
 When drawn out of the water and killed this sea monster weighed 140O0 pounds It measured from tip to tip 92 feet, and the circumference of the body just for ward of the huge dorsal fin was 15 feet Across the fearful mouth-horizontally- when opened it was 2l2 feet, while from the tip of the snout to the point of the lower jaw 1t measured s12 feet the size of the mouth being large enough for two children to be comfortably seated therein.
 The sharp became hopelessly enmeshed in some 1500 feet of the fishermens net The net he speedily tore into strips, but In the giant creatures efforts to escape the strings and ropes were wound many times around its gills and the shark was held fast prisoner. Despite its long and frantic struggles for freedom the shark was finally stranded and killed with har- poons. The struggle lasted for more than an hour The monsters stomach was found full of fish. It was engaged in rob ping the net when it became entangled.
 So far as here known the largest shark yet caught was p feet long-10 feet shorter than the San Pedro Bay monster. In cap turing the latter the two fishermen had many narrow escapes from being snapped up by the creature. It made long, saw

Detailed Damages.

From the Kansas City Journal.
 Though Emma Cushing of Montreal Is heartbroken over the fact that J. M. Christie, a bank manager of Penticton, B. C.. has failed to redeem his promise of marriage, she has lost none of her busi- ness judgment. Miss Cushing has brought suit for s23.0OO damages. She says that Chrlstie's refusal to marry her cost her an illness and $20O doctors bill, that 1t caused her s5OO0 worth of mental anguish, etc, and that she had bought 5000 worth of wedding clothes and household furnish ings. The remaining item is this: 'Esti- mated cost of living for 25 years at $6DO per year. which would have been borne by the defendant as her husband had he married her, $l6,000.

 Now, see here, Johnny; you can't get job. and if you did you wouldn't earn more than one-third of what l can. 1T you are to go to sea l might about as well have no husband at all.
 Now, If you'll stay down here in the country and look after the baby and the chickens and the roses. I'll go back into my old place again; it's always wait ing for me"
 It was fixed up in that way, and the household is now running on that plan The man is the housekeeper and the woman Is the bread winner.
 In one of the largest and oldest clipping bureaus in the world the proprietors wife has entire charge of the reading depart ment. It began in 1898, when foreman left him suddenly and she came down to help him out. She liked the work and has retained it permanently.
