Why should lovers defer their mar
riage a day longer than the time when
sis far as we mortals can discern th <
future , the prospect tof a conifortabU
home is reasonably assured. ' : asks Cy
rns C. Adams in Amslee's. It is sense
less to wait for the coming of afllueni
days. Their lives should be united
and each in his way should help t (
bring about the advent of easier time *
if they are ever to come. It is as fool
ish to wait for a larger income than is
really required as it is for parents tt
slave and drudge that their childrer
may enjoy a degree of affluence thej
have never known. This is the rocb
upon wh'ch the French nation has
split They are a frugaland a thrift
people. It is interesting to know thai
many of the tasteful , artistic and cost
ly products of France are made almosl
exclusively for the foreign trade. Two
thirds of the best chinaware of Llmo
ges , for example , comes to the United
States. A well-to-do Frenchwoman Is
likely to use a preparation of rice flour
as a cosmetic , leaving the delicate per
fumes and other toilet articles of Paris
for her American and British sisters
who are willing to spend more money
for such things. But the rich father ,
unfortunately , conceives it to be bis
duty to leave bis children richer than
himself ; if , on the other hand , he be a
poor tiller of the soil , it is disgraceful
not to educate nis son to a trade or a
profession so that the family name
may have a higher place in the social
s -ale. This deplorable ambition fixes
! . - " > n the family a burden almost too
greui to Inborne , and parents deliber
ately resti i'-t the number of their chil
dren. In large districts , particularly In
Northern France , families of more
than two children are rare. Many of
the young people , seeing the hard lives
their parents lead , defer their own
marriages in order to better their for
tunes , till at last even the desire to
marry : s extinguished. Parents and
children of all lands may well heed the
lesson in sociology that France Is now
teaching.
Nearly all our self-made men , lend
ers in the professions and in business ,
married young and on very moderate
incomes. Many assumed , without the
slightest trepidation , the responsibility
of supporting a wife on $1,000 a year
or less. These men usually have very
pronounced views on the inadequate
knowledge of the value of money and
how to take care of it possessed by the
majority of young moa and women.

LEFT AND RIGHT HANDEDNESS.
Explained by Anatomical Reason * for

It is a well-known faei that , the

to a preponderance of the left side of

This theory is borue out by well-
mown experiences of anatomists and

lumber of cases , a narrower pupil In
consequence of a more fllled-up coa

ipon closer examination a shorter con
struction of the eyeball. This furnishes
eason for the fact that In a > arge num-

of the left half of the brain Is explaii
ed very simply by the fact that n !

Make It a rule , and let it be strictly
observed , not to say anythiing about
the faults of another unless there is
absolute necessity for you to do so.
This necessity may arise , and your
own judgment can guide you about
the matter. It is always rash to talk
about the faults or evil doings of
others. Why , indeed , should you do
so ? You know yourself that you have
faults , few or many , and that there
are many things jou may have done
which yon prefer should not be dia *
cussedYeO. . then , exercise the
same otiAJity u others that you would
have extended to yourself.
Another thing to bear in mind is
that , if you talk of what is to the
disadvantage of another , what you say
will doubtless be repeated. Of
course , you may preface your remarks
by : "This is quite between our-
sevles " ' ' do not it "
, 'Pray , repeat ,
etc. But why should you imagine
that the person to whom you are
talking will be silent about that
which you cannot keep to yourself ?
