It Rained Bait

From the New York World.
 ''Im truthful man. sighed Capt. Will liam Duffy, commander of the ferryboar Bayonne City. which pRes between Bergen Point. N. J., and Port Richmond, Staten Island, when the boat docked at Port Rich- mond. 'I say I'm a truthful man, but when the colonel hears of the experience I had he'll send me word I'm nature fakir and add my name to his Ananlas club.
 Wed just left Bergen Point when we ran into a severe snowstorfn and high winds from the north. After the snow stopped we had what thought was fall of hail. This continued for five minutes. Then I went on deck and discovered we had been in a storm of sand worms.
 Yes. sir; that's just what they were sand worms. The decks were slippery with 'em, and I gathered up two canfuls to prove to the colonel or any other doubter of my word that I speak the truth. Here they are. Look at 'em,' and

girls. who are the sl75o girls and who are

girls, who are the s175O girls and who are
 the 2000 girls said MT. Grundy.
 "Often young man is keenly distressed
 to discover. when it comes to the point that young woman about whom he has
 been thinking a lot has 5000 in her head
 when he only has $500 in his pocket" he
 said. Besides preventing a great deal of
 unhappiness, it would be extremely use full if as soon as girl began to capture his affections he could ascertain from the register whether she was within his com pass. If he discovered that her ideas were too high for him he would be able to give up the thought of marrying her before they had got too fond of each other. Similarly a girl on the register
 would know if young man began to pay her attentions that he had an income, or prospects of obtaining one, sufficient to maintain her in the standard of comfort she expected.
 q do not see that ladies would be shy of coming forward and stating their fig
 ure, provided that the vicar has sympa- thy and understanding, and is popular with his pensioners. One can consult any
 bodys will for one shilling at Sommerset
 House. Why not make this, which is really far more important to peopfc, U
 matter of public record also? The register need not necessarily be an affair organized
 by the church. It might be a state or
 municipal register, kept, say. at the town
 hall"
 The attitude of a considerable propor-
 tion of the parishioners before whom
 MT. Grundy explained his idea was friend
 ly to the vicar, but hostile to the scheme.
 The ladies, who were more numerous than
 the men, made various pertinent objec- tions, vigorously expressed. 'Tt is all very well to talk about $1500 a year girls, but it depends upon who the man is,'' said one. T might be disposed to marry one man with $500 year. but should want $25O0 with another and 5000 with a third" She held that far more vital question than ''When can a man afford to marry?" was When is he fit to marry?"
 There was considerable vigor about an- other lady who seemed to be not exactly
 bubbling over with approval for man.
 kind. "A young fellow is much nicer
 after he has been kicked about the world
 bit," she said, and added ominously "It saves the wife the trouble of kicking
 him into shape afterwards
 This, most men would hasten to agree,
 Is beside the point.

 Andrew Carnegie, at recent dinner in New York, said of a certain labor trouble:
 ''It is silly of employers to pretend, in these troubles, that they are always in tho right Employers are often in the wrong; often unreasonable. They often-like Mrs. Smith-Jones-ask impossible things.

Inventions by Royalties

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
 One of the eight daughters of the Arcn- duke Frederick, the eldest brother of the Dowager Queen of Spain, is taking out a patent for a new form of candle. She is only following the example set by seV- eral other royalties. The most successful of these is the Grand Duke of Oldenburg, who has patented screw which has been adopted by several German shipping com panes. Prince Henry of Prussia holds the patent on an invention for prevent ing the clouding of wind screens on motor cars, and his nephew, the crown prince has patented q special form of sleeve link The Kaiser is credited with the invention of brake for automobiles, but up to the present this has not been patented.

ment of the minimum income the. man who approaches them with a view to mar riage must possess, is the latest develop ment in the relations or the sexes. The new scheme was inaugurated at a London church the other evening by the vicars the Rev. Grundy, in an address to a large meeting of parishioners, and despite the vigorous controversy which the proposal aroused, it succeeded to the extent that before the evening was over at least one young lady's name was down on the list with definite statement of the amount for which she was prepared to marry; S750 a year was her figure, pro- vided that she loved the man and he loved her.
 The scheme developed out of the follow ing proposition advanced by MT. Grundy before his parishioners:
 That 1t is better for the state, society. the home and the man that he shall marry as soon as he is able to afford a wife"
 The question then arose as to how a man was to know when he was able to afford a wife and how he was to know what precisely was the opinion of the girl he had in view as to the minimum marrying wage. Hence the scheme for a register which should state the facts: 'T am prepared to keep a register which shall show to the men who are the $l50o
