Brooklyn last night. The jury was

Saturday, in the meantime inquiring
into Weinberg's mental condition.
Insanity was the principal defense

Similar testimony was given by

signs Of their order, it spells misery for
both parties.
The second reason why the marriages
between the cultured and the uncultured
are disastrous is because shame Stays love
quicker than anything else on earth.
Somehow, our own Judgment in matters
of the affections does not suffice. We
have to have the o. X. of our little world
upon our beloved. When q woman has
to blush at her husbands social blunders,
when man is mortified by his wifes
lack Of knowledge Of what to say and do,
and when she looks uncouth amidst
the women of his old set and his family,
then they might as well kiss Cupid
goodbye, for he's getting racey to de-
part.
OF course in these unequal matches
the one who has had tho better advan-
tages always thinks that be or she will
bridge the gulf by raising The other to his
or her own level, but only in the rarest
cases is this optimistic plan ever accom-
plished
Men and women who have grown to
mems and women's estate, have their
habits of speech and manners so in
grained that it is almost impossible to
change them. 1t can only be done when
the individuals, themselves, realize their
deficiencies and are humble enough to be
willing to be taught, and ambitious
enough to bend all their energies towards
learning. This marvel can be accom-
plished especially with women, who arc
naturally more adaptable than men.
Two of the most elegant women know
were crude, uneducated girls whose hus-
bands had them trained after marriage
by tutors who taught them from how to
dress and which fork to use, to speak
good English and read good literature.
AS general thing, however, the
woman who has been beautiful enough
to capture q husband above her own
rank In life, or the man who has had
ability to raise himself above theHlevel
to which he was born, are too egotistit
to be willing to learn. They admire
themselves so excessively that they
think no improvement is necessary, ano
they affect to despise the rehnements
which are not theirs by inheritance.
And, especially, do they resent any
criticism from their husbands or wives
and this is natural and inevitable becaus,
the one person in the world in who's,
eyes We wish to think ourselves alto
gether admirable is the maneor woman
to whom we are married
1t is dangerous experiment marry
ing out of your class. 1t is better to wet

PUTTING UP THE TOMATO.

With tomatoes in the homo garden,
every good housekeeper should plan 70
put up at least few jars Of Ahis de-
licious vegetable. There arc many
ways Of canning it, the following being
two OF tho best.
Tomato Paste. (This il splendid to
u.c in soups, stews, with veal outlet,
fried chicken, or in any other dish
which needs rich flavorinG) Wipe one
half peck Of ripe tomatoes and remove
the blossom" from tops. Squeeze them
to get out al OF tho juice possible
keep the juice for soups, then place
the vegetable in an agate saucepan with
four large peeled and sliced onions, q
large bunch of parsley cut fine, and
salt and pepper TO suit individual taste.
Put on O moderately hot FIRE and let
cook until the tomato skins separate,
then pass the mixture through a sieve.
Let drain in a cheesecloth bag for sew
eral hours, then spread the cooked and
sieved pulp on clean plates and dry
thoroughly. In hot, dry climate this
drying process is done in the sun; but
in colder or damper climate it j.
done in a stove oven, in low tempera-
ture, with the oven door ajar. Turn
with wooden spoon, as the pulp dries,
and when thoroughly dry put the pulp
in bowl with very little good olive
oil. Work it with spoon, adding more
oil If necessary. A perfect tomato paste
is thick and shiny--not liquid. II
should be merely damp. Turn it into
glasses which have been "sterilized

A young woman who is wei bred, and
college educated, and who has been used
TO good society all her life, has fallen in
love with q nan who is what we call
"sof-made."
He is a splendid chap in every way.
He is Landscape, clever, energetic, enter
prising, magnetic, generous, with the
irresistible attraction that strong men
always have for women. But this man
literally lifted himself out OF the gutter
where he was born. He has no educa-
ton. He does the sword swallowing oct
when he eats, and his grammar is thing
to make one shudder even in these days
of linguistic slsckness, and slang.
Wherefore the girl is exceedingly
troubled in spirit. She appreciates all
that is wonderful and fine in the man
She is caught up in the glamour and the
romance that surrounds ono who is q
soldier of fortune, with the courage to do
and dare She loves him and wants to
marry him, but she hesitates because
she is afraid that her affections will not
be able to survive the assaults made
daily and hourly upon her taste by one
who eats peas with his knife, and says,
II done seen"
think the young woman is wise. Love
is killed far ofteper by pin pricks than
it is by the sword. It is easier to overlook
a few big offences than the little daily and
hourly transgressions that get upon ouI
nerves. 1t is wrong, Of course, but true,
that moral lapees are not 90 disencbant-
ing to US in our fellow creatures as lapses
in grammar and table manners.
Matrimony, at its best, is great dis.
peller of illusions, and it is hard to KEEP
up the romantic attitude towards thos<
who feed like pigs, or to keep in mino
the virtues of those who commit assault,
and battery upon the English Language
every time they open their mouths t.
speak. Therefore, marriage between
those who have not the same standard:
of conventions is apt to be dangerous
experiment.
So far as my observation goes, such
unequal marriages are almost Away:
failures. have seen many cultured anC
refined women marry rough diamond
men, but almost invariably such MARI
ages have brought unhappiness to both
parties.
And have seen many highly edu
Gated men, captured by pretty faces
marry ignorant girls who were untutoree
children of nature, and these marriages
were also disastrous.
It seems to me that there are TIVE
reasons why these marriages are Away
bound to be foredoomed failures. Til,
, first is that the great basic law of happi
ness in marriage is congeniAity. Lik
calls to like, and after one has had one

, tracted one for while to stranger, on
turns back with sigh of contentmen
to ones own kind.
A woman wants q man for her stead,

the same code Of conduct, who speaks th
same Language. A man wants that kin
