the miserable dungeon which served as

The examination craze has reached
heights of imbecility which its most ardent
initiators could hardly have dreamed of,
but if the maidens of Great Britain have
to pass an examination before they can
become eligible for the honor of a mans
hand, we fancy we should range ourselves
on the side of the angels and oppose the
plan with all possible vigor. The plain
fact is that the prettiest girls are no
toriously the stupidest, and If none but
the ugly girls could get married. what
ever result their ability might have on
the nature of the infant. it would not
take long before there were no types of
British beauty left to tighten the burden
