v". without the hoc-mi ttanmi that
,'xl lank account gives, without !
f, aide "to k-- up with the pne-j-j
i" of those who are well dressed, well
t well situated and well oft.
nffularly enough, those who demand
tbes things who will not accept mar
Tied life without them are generally
not well supplied with this worM'sgootls.
People who have been rich all their lives
do not realize what it means to go with
out their luxuries. Dut people who have
been jMr know just the wretchedness
of having to wear patched boots and go
without lunch; of having to walk long
distances, because car fare "mounts up;
of having to refuse nice invitations, be
cause they have no clothes or no means
of returning proffered civilities. To
these, poverty is a bitter thing, and they
loathe it. Marriage, unless it means
escape from carping cares of this kind,
they eschew as a hopeless evil. Detter
endure those trials that we hare than
fly to others that we know not of, they
eay.
So thinks the everyday, gentlemanly,
good looking, entirely personable young
man of thirty, who draws an income of
from two to four thousand a year, and
is asked out all over because he dances
admirably and is good to look at, and
never does anything gauche. So. also,
thinks the pretty, well bred, well dressed,
moderately bright girl of twenty-five,
whose father spends six thousand a year
mad has five children. Both of these know
just the way they want their lives to go.
Ever since childhood they have associ
ated with companions who have had
more money than they have, and they
know how nice it is to be well off. To
be rich or to remain as we are, that is
their motto. "When we make the great
move, they both think, "we make it t J
better ourselves materially, or we don't
'make it at all.
They do not want to be millionaires,
but they do not want to be really pinched
anywhere. Their house must be large
-enough and be comfortable. It must be
well fitted up no "sheet by night and
tablecloth by day for them. There
must be servants enough to run it. This
girl who has always been comfortably
placed, but never" luxuriously has no
intention of binding herself down to do
mestic cares, of dusting her own draw
ing room and turning up hems in her
own table linen. No; all that must be
done for her. She has made her own
dresses and trimmed her own hats all
her girlhood, and she wants, when sua
marries, to change all that. Detter to
go on doing it in your own home, where
it is all yon have to worry over, than to
do it in your husband's, where yoa
have to keep the house and take care of
children as well.
Thus the 3-onng lady reasons and re
jects her suitors with a peculiar and good
humored indifference. She has made
np her mind that she will not marry a
man who has a cent under five thousand
a year, and is not above telling this to
the soupirants. who take the hint and
strive to realize the ideal. Tho yonng
lady is quite frank. She is not in the
least ashamed of her worldliness or de
sirous of hiding it under a veil of at
tractive coyness. She is not mercenary.
It is not riches that she demands com
fort, that is all. If she is comfortable
she will continue to be a very nice, at
tractive person, but if she has to scrimp
ana struggle and fight over ten cent
pieces, and turn her old clothes, and
have her shoes patched, she will not bt
responsible for her temper. She is a
fin de siecle to her finger tips sensible
where the might be romantic, practical
where she once would have been impas
sioned a person who is bound to make
a success of her life and keep it on the
lines that she regards as the best.
The young man of her kind holds pre
cisely the same views. Life with a be
loved object sounds very charming, but
it is not to be indulged in unless the in
comes of himself and the beloved object
foot up to from five to six thousand per
annum. The beloved object on three
thousand a year is too expensive a lux
ury. He cannot afford it. What might
have been a courtship dwindles to a
zuild friendship. Not infrequently he
tells the lady of his sad predicament and
how impossible a matrimonial alliance
would be on his salary. She condoles
with him and they become friends, for
no violent fires burn in their hearts and
friendship comes quite easily to them.
.Marriage would mean a series of sacri
fices that neither is willing to make
They would have to live in a flat in HaT

in Gotham the horror in which Harlem
is held or a second rate boarding house

Then come clothes and theaters. A
New York woman spends money lika
water on her clothes. She would mu ;h
rather be well dressed than well fed.
She must be well dressed to be np with

.shabby she is no longer of any impor

The Eye of Greek HtstuM.
Professor Ernst Curtius, the famous
Greek scholar and archaeologist of the
University of Berlin, announced a few
months ago that he had discovered that
the Greek Fculptors always made the
eyes of men fuller ami rounder than
those of women. -The alleged discovery
was"cou"Iered iiifportaiit.'as it was le
lieved that it would lead to a iroter
classification of many of the unidenti
fied heads of Greek statues. The Iioim-h.
however, seem to have been premature,
despite the fact that Curtius, who has
Ijeen called "The Modern Greek. fa
thered them.
Dr. Greef, of Berlin, in a recent lec
ture delivered licfore the Prussian Acad
emy of Science, declared that Curtius'
conclusions were wrong, as lie had found
Hat, narrow eyes those of women, ac
cording, to Curtius in the heads of
Greek statues of men. He had also
measured plastic representations of worn
en witlT large, full eyes. In nature. in
added, there was no difference In-tw 1 1;
tlie eyes of men und women. He h;.
examined recently in Berlin the eyes oi
a nunureu memiers oi eacu sex nn.i
had found that they were the same in
fchape, size and form. He thus upheld
the theories of Zinn and Sommerlin

Plenty of Game in Maine.
There h;is not been a year for some
time when game was as plenty and
when so little game has been killed
and uestroyed as during tne past win
ter. One rejison is that the snow in
many localities has not been deep, and
at the same time it has been hard, hold
ing up the deer and caribou and giving
them a chance to protect themselves by
flight. Another reason is that the
guides and hunters have learned that it
is for their interest to leave the game
alone, especially during the deep snows.
I have made it a point to see many of
them in the early part of the winter,
and tried to make them understand that
it is for their interest for us to keep a
good stock of fish and game, as they
would get more business during the
guiding season.
The most of the game that has been
killed the past winter has been killed in
the back settlements, hunters using
dogs to catch deer. There has been a
story of ninety moose killed near our
border line, in township 5, range 18. I
believe the most of this yarn is false. I
have been within a day's walk of the
township this winter and I did not learn
of any such business. In fact there are
not moose enough in that locality. It is
near the Canada line, and this same re
port comes from there every year. Cor.

Beekeepers and the Government.
Foreign bees without pedigrees may
be admitted to the United States free of
duty. The secretary of the treasury has
so decided. Until the last tariff bill was
passed bees from abroad came in gratis,
as "animals imported for breeding pur
ines." The McKinley law declared
that this ruling should only apply to an
imals "regularly entered in recognized
herd books. Accordingly, bees were
assessed 20 per cent, ad valorem, be
cause they had no pedigrees. The bee
keepers protested and carried their
point.
Some time ago the postoffice department
declared that bees were "unmailable.""
on the ground that they would be likel)
to sting people if they got loose. The
beekeeiers secured the recall of this reg
ulation, by proving that the packages
employed could not be broken. Wash

Little Fear of Indian Trouble.
A gentleman at Rosebud agency writes
that the reports of dissatisfaction among
the Indians there have been greatly ex
aggerated. Since his arrival there two
weeks ago he has traveled quite exten
sively through the various Indian camps
aud thinks the Indians never exhibited
a more peaceful frame of mind than at
present. Never did they take hold of
work more readily or more extensively,
and never did they take more interest in
the care of their stock than the past
winter, as can plainly be seen by the
condition of horses and cattle this spring.
So far as dissatisfaction with rations is
concerned, if there is any such, the white
employees hear nothing of it. Cor. Min

Confederate Coins.
There has recently been some inquiry
as to whether the Confederate govern
ment coined any gold. The question
was referred to the Hon. Charles C.
Jones, Jr., of Augnsta, who telegraphs
as follows: "The Confederate States, as
I now remember, coined and issued no
gold. A few experimental half dollars
in silver were struck, but they did not
pass into circulation. Charleston News

Neff is an old circus tumbler, and the
