Men who marry beneath them often have a
moM uncomfortable t lino after the knot Is Mod.
However high may bo their own wk-uI standing,
they cannot compel society to see tho mutch
from their pivitil ef view. True, if they are
phlcky Mini persistent, and. whHt Is more rjwn
tlnl. If their wives have tact Hnd certain other
superior qualities wlileh make for social jxipu
hirlty, the pah" usually wins the fight In tho end.
, ,,r struggle Is opt to Ik a long and
tneiety never forget, even though It may consent to ignore
tho pit from which tho iioweoiner wns digged.
When a woman taken a husband from a lower social
plane than her own tho case If much more difficult. When
the man Is markedly beneath his wife she can, ns it rule,
expect nothing hut to he dropped by hor own set. She
turns over the most decidedly new leaf which is possible
to nn existence She stop (.'own from her own position
In soiiioly to that of her husband, and must adjust herself
to tho change of circumstances at best she may, an adjust
ment which Ik rarely effected without regret mid pain,
which ure likely to increase instead of diminish us time
pasps. Almost itliout exception. In ordinary ninrrlagos,
It is the husband who establishes the social lino for the
now household. If that Is higher than tho one to which tho
bride bun been accustomed she has the opportunity to rise;
(f lower, she must almost Mirely descemL
(nee In a great while, when a woman disregards (socie
ty and tJikes a husliaud from a plane below her own, her
wisdom Is justified by tho result. There aro men who have
sufficient force of character and enough talent, not to say
genius, t commund uncross, and to be, at) Napoleon said,
their own ancestors. Hut she who hopes for this takes
heavy risks; lucre is small chance of more than one Abra
ham Lincoln in a century.
'I'll law of life is that people must bo congenial in
order to dwell In harmony with each other, and love cannot
long endure utter incompatibility of tastes nnd tempers.
The unequal yoke must inevitably chafe Its wearer more or
less, and It Ih nut easy 10 smile and walk daintily under tho

WEAKNESS Of CIRClMSIAMTIAl EVIDENCE.
By T. P. O'Connor.
I 73
Here Is a strange ciie of
dence nt once overwhelming mid
the reign of Elizabeth a man named Frldoanx
was charged with tho murder of a neighbor. The
first witness testified to finding tho corpse of tho
victim, and beside It the pitchfork bearing IN
Initials of I'rideaux. The next witness deposed
that on the morning of the murder ho saw Pri
deaux pas his house dressed In a certain suit of
cotiies. Tour hours later, however, he saw Prldeaux,
then under arrest, wearing In court a wholly different cos
tume. Then and there lids witness taxed 1'rideaux with
the change of dress, which tho prisoner denied in n manner
so confused and s'liillllng that the magistrate nt once grunt
ed a warrant to search the accused's house, Tho clothes,
drenched In blood, were found concealed in the straw stuff
ing of a bed. A third witness testified to threats uttered
by I'rideaux against the deceased, with whom he had had
a deadly quarrel.
I'rideaux In ins defense said that as ho was parsing on
the morning of the murder through deceased's grounds he
saw a man lying, dead drunk as he thought, some distance
from the path. On lifting him he found that. It was his
neighbor, with blood pouring from two wounds made by
the pitchfork. Pildeuux adjured him to give the name of
ils assailant, but the mere effort brought on the death rat
tle am a discharge of blood from the mouth which deluged
Trideaux'a clothe. When he had laid the dead man down
i and had got over the first horror of tho thing, his own
peril occurred to him nnd hurried him from the spot In
uch haste to change his bloud stained clothes that he took
' by mistake the murdered man's pitchfork,

the Jury to withdraw to consider at length and leisure.
His lordship rated them soundly and sent them to a

were for an Immediate verdict of "guilty" were starved
into surrender by tho twelfth, the foreman, who doggedly
declared he would die himself rather than hang the pris

delivered a verdict of "not guilty," whlcji so Infuriated

my lord, I may tell you that I did not consent to finding

I agreed, "So do I. Most objeotlon

"It seems to me that the very things

thr.t anybody who does know could
tell thein they don't know."
I rested my head on my hand for a

"Give It up," I said finally.

I bad difficulty in restraining myself,

Besides we had broken off our en

"What do you tnonn?" she demand

"Sorry! Thought it was a riddle, you

Jane stamped nor root. She was
weiring very dainty shoes, I noticed.
"No one can call me unreasonable,"
she began.
"I wouldn't advise them to," said I.
"But" Jane continued taking no no
tice of my remark "in this Instance I
consider your conduct outrageous.''
Here she threw out her arms in a
manner too graceful to be believed un

rocks and a tortoise shell cat for sup

"Upon my word, I don't know what

I felt very nervous.
"I did seo tho Times," said Jane,
with all the severe dignity of which
she was capable.
It occurs to mo that It Is astonishing

LAWYER WHO WAS A TERROR.
strange Character of John Tajrlor of
the Karly Arkansas liar.
At the last meeting of the Arkansas
liar association, says Law Notes, the
president, (ieorge B. Bose, delivered
nn Interesting address on "The Bar of
I'inrly Arkunsns," In which he set him
self the task of rescuing from oblivion
v.onie members of the early loaders
uf the bar and reconstructing the con
ditions under which they worked.
Among them Is represented the curious
figure of John Taylor, whoso plctur
'.'siuo and terrible character might well
furnish a hint for n modern Sir Walter
Scott. If ho were fortunate enough to
possess u successor to the great novel
ist: John Taylor was only a sojourner in
Arkansas from 1S37 to 1R44, but he was
so remarkable a tnnn thnt be should
not be forgotten. Everybody who
heard him agreed that in .capacity for
invective, for withering, blistering, en
venomed eloquence, he excelled any
human being thnt ever spoke, and thnt
he seemed possessed of a demoniac
power. He wns a tall, lank, red-haired
man, repulsively ugly, with little groen
eyes that glistened like those of a
snake, nnd with a fashion of licking
out his tongue that was strangely ser
pentine. He talked to no one save on
business. When he settled In Little
Uock, whither he had come from Ala
bama after he had been defeated In
candidacy for the United States senate,
all the bar called on him, but he re
ceived them with repelling coldness,
and returned no visits. He had u wife,
but nobody ever saw her wonderful
thing considering the small size of
Little Uock nt that time.
During the seven years of his so
journ he never crossed nny man'
threshold, and no man crowned hl.
In riding the circuit he always rode
alone, permitting no companionship,
and while In nttendnnce on court he
would, if the weather permitted, live
In a tent pitched in tho neighboring
wood, where he might not have to look
on the hated face of bis fellow man.
Y'et this modern Tlmon, a thousand
times more embittered nnd malignant
than he of Athens, was a devout
Christian, assiduous In his attendance
ut church, and nlwnys speaking with
Intense religious conviction. But this
strange, Invisible wife did not appear
even on the sabbath.
As u lawyer he was a terror. His
knowledge of lnw was prodigious and
his memory of authorities almost su
poihumnn. He could write out any of

Canary Hird in London.
The recent sale In London of u pair,
of canaries for 70 has directed public
attention to the "boom" now raging lu
these diminutive pets. Since King
Edward took up the hobby of ennury
breeding prices have been steadily ris
ing, and iu many instances birds hnve
changed hands for four times their
weight iu gold.
Tho most expensive variety nre
those with crests, or topknots, of
feathers. Perfect crested canaries are
very difficult to breed, and they uro
subject to blindness, the crest being
cultivated to such nn extent that it
grows over the eyes nnd hides even
the beak. Trices for good "crests"
range from 5 to 10.
Norwich plainhend canaries are far
more popular, but do not realize such
high prices. At Huddersfield show re
cently a young bird, in its first season,
was sold by nuctlon for 5 10s. Mack
ley Brothers, of Norwich, whose last
consignment of canaries to New York
numbered 5,000, havo sold several
plulnheads at prices ranging from 13
to 23 nploce.
Plulnhead Norwich are bred almost
exclusively for color properties, the
most highly colored specimens invaria
bly heading the list. For the purpose
of enhancing the nntural color large
quantities of cayenne and other pep
pers are imported from Spain and giv
en to the birds in a preparation of egg
food. For first-class Yorkshire cana
ries there is a strong demand, but
prices ure not so remnrknble, the high
est reported being 30 for a sprightly
young fellow exhibited nt the recent
