Harper's Bazar : While it is dcgrailin to see a man marry for money simply , is still more degrading and foolish for woman to marry merely for money , thn showing herself willing to sacrifice a that is most sacred to woman for whn money can buy. How many a woma do we see dragging a rich , vulgar Inn band about who is merely an appendag to her diamonds. How many an educate woman blushes for her husband's gram inar ! Who shall portray that more tha Spartan endurance with which thes women Iddu the vulture despair whic is preying upon their vitals ? "With whn pardonable artllico will they blandl smile a smile like that of St. Agues ii the stake , or like the sunshine at a : overflowing volcauol" The sufferings c women who have married unuongeni:1 : men would fill volumes. The Kngliah aristocracy is full of tin sort of thing. A prctty.portionless Lad Sarah must marry money. How wei Airs. Oliphant paints the picture in he novel , "The Ladies Lindorcsl" the vul gar , dreadful man of whom his delieat wife is afraid , and who does not lean now to treat her , but who has enjoyci the double triumph of humiliating th poor aristocrats and seeing the dowage thrust her elegant girl under his dread ful nose. American parents have been known t force their daughters to marry men thoi did not love for money. We .si-e thei pale faces in the avenue.Vo nav American mammas who call drunken ness "youthful cscaoado , " vulgarity "bonhomie , " and licentiousness "th owmg of wild oats,1' if a man has i great deal of money. There is no HUO ! golden mirror as money ; it transmute everything Into virtue. However , some times tlio money disappears nnd the mai remains , then the unloving wife is , in deed , to bo pitied , for matrimony is , very hard road to travel at the best jsomc ono has lately written a funn booK , "How to be Happy Though Mat ried. " And the man who has marrici nn heiress whg turns out to have iv money , whore is ho ? Calculating Rome must now' work and work hard. Ver low men who have possessed a fortuii who lose it late in life , can make nnothe ono. It is the man whoso energies hav been stimulated early by necessity wh makes the fortune , and If that i lost can make another. Dame Nccessit Is a great school mistress , but she can d little for a circulating Komco who ha been disappointed. A circulating Koine who marries a vulgar heiress giuicrall cots his punishment in his life. Ho wi ! bo perpetually shocked with her maiinei her voice , her style of dress. She maven von take him to Europe , Ilirt with he Courier , and elope with : v Frtxneu uiarqui who turns out to be a barber. Such \e \ the worldly view of the urni riago question , such is the matrimonii money market , such the calculalin Romeo. Unman nature is not all vena But wo must recogni/e the growing dar gor of things. In America , where ever man lias a chance , where estate and till are not Inherited , wo should have n euch thing as the marriage do eonvcn ence. It Is , however , becoming to much of a recognized institution. No doubt the human heart is the snru in all URea frirolous , tragic , romanti * Bollish , oflM , everything by turns. Thei will always bo the elopement , the love match , the marriage for money , but tli last IB the- worst for the republic. MnrrlagoH In OroenlAiul. Ono of the Danish missionaries I Greenland states that sineo the mlssioi nrics have won the con faience of tlio ni tivos they have had a duty laid uuc them wtiich they never contemplated i the beginning of their mission. TJ preacher is not only the minister of tl gospel , but is invariably resorted to bol by young men and maidens , as the ma rimonial agent. A young man cornea I the missionary house and says to hiri "I want to marry. " "Whom ? " asks tl missionary. "Have you any ono 1 mind ? " ' 'Yes. " answers the loyer ; "hi she will not have mo. I want you 1 speak to her. " "Havo you spoken fi yourself ? " "Many times ; but shealwa1 TNol Nol' " "That Is nothing , " says tl pastor ; "you know the way of maiden Docs she like you } " "It is difficult i find out She will toll you. " The pa tor accordingly sends for the girl , wl cornea willingly enough , knowing whi the message means. "Well.my daughter. ho observes , "it is time that you shoul think , of marriage. " "I novcr mean * marry , " is her invariable and coi Yentlonal onswor. "That IB a pity , " saj the minister , "because I have a goo husband for thco. " "Who is he" si asks. The missionary then telli her h name , although she knows it as well 2 he docs , and launches out In the lover praise. Ho is strong , good-lookini kindly ; ho caught two line whales who bis comrades took none , or whatcv * else can bo said to Ids repute , After tl catalogue of his merits has boon recite the girl replies : "But I thlnfc him " "Ah well " U . good-for-nothing. , , suys missionary , "Thou art not wise. There no lad can lling a harpoon as ho can. soon II nd him a wlfo. " Ho the wishes the girl a good day , affecting i believe that the interview is orcr. Bi Bho is sure to linger , and after a blus tinil a sigh , she whispers : "So it is pa tlcularly your wish , Herr Pastor ? I * ' not quite like him , " with a deep sig "but If you - " At this point si virtually hands over the business to tl minister , who has to toll her that si knows she loves the lad , that ho won not have come if she had not thought accepting him , nnd that nothing is wur ing but to ask thu blessing ot God. upc their union. The marriage , curious nnough , .usually takes place upon U very day pu which the1 brjdo.uas or pliatlcally protested that she will neve have the bridegroom. MulTrtlo Hill Marries n Pair. London ( Hobo : I have found a pl.ic In the Nebraska legislature , I have bee in the cattle business , acted as hunter t the Grand Uuke Alexis , and performed marnace ceremony. This last feat I not without Its humorous aspeet. I ha been elected a magistrate for the state c Nebraska , and was ono evening nstor ishcd by the visit of ono of the sergeant of the post who desired to bo ninrrlci There was no clergyman In the eountn ami I , as the representative of the lav was therefore empowered to tie tin : lei ing couple together. There was on awkward point , however. I had nevi ; performed a civic marriage or oven in slsted at one , and the statutes of N * hraska contained nothing in tlio way i form or directions. I therefore had pn force to rely upon my ingenuity on th ! occasion , and felt somewhat confused The time arrived , and with it the pair < lovers. I turned to them and said to th bridegroom : "Do you take this women to be you lawful wedded wife , to support and lov her through life ? " "I do , " replied the man. "And do you , " 1 said to the brid * "take tills man to be your lawful wedde husband ? " "I do , " said the woman. "Then join handsami know that I pr < nouncoyoutwo to be man wife , an whomsoever Buffalo Bill joins togethi let no man put asunder. " It was not perhaps strictly formal , bi it did well enough. The pair were mai ricd and were contented , nnd 1 believ lived very happily together ever after. I'ln Money I'or Wive * . Harper's Ba/.ar : Amen < r the poor , pa ; tlcularly the thrifty and industrious pool the woman of the household , bo she wif or daughter , has much more control i dispersing the daily or weekly wages tha women on a higher social plane ; men t brawn , when sensible anil Kindly , lira * lice a more generous rule of conjugi partnership than is usual among men c brain , though these hitter earnings at on such a scale of plenty that unless w look below the surface regulations am equipments of the home we fail to dh cover the false financial relation tiiat exist between husband an wife. I'or wives , as a class , hav no spending money , and are rarely coj ni/.ant of their husbands' true busines situation. Is this just to the being man ha.s promised to iionor as well as t love ? Women are accused of belli ; "mean , " and any one who has eve served on a collecting committee know how , in forming a li-t of possible &ub scriber.s , name after name is omitte with the remark , "No use iroing to hoi she never gives , " or "She has m money , " and yet the husband of "she' is invariably a man of means or ampl professional income , who payj extiava gant household and personal bills fo his family , usually with willing good nn turo. It is only when money is ahkud fo that a tightening ot the purse strings instinctively stinctivoly takes place , and the nn blush ing query is made : "Why , little woman what did you do with the $3 I cave yo last week ? " Wo have heard such question put to a beloved wife by a mai whoso 5early expenses were at lea- . $ 20,000 , and who the next week gave th wife valuable diamond oar-rings , an always encouraged her to dress uxtrava gantly and live luxuriously.

THE FIRST LICHTNING-HOC A MPSSBRC fop 1'nrn Donlli by Elct trlclty Losses br IilghtnlitKn Electric JFrrn.lt Sparks anil Flashes. Klcctrlolty At the Toronto i\tilbltlot Electricity is to play im important rmi attlio combined Dominion and Indii1 trial Exlilbition to bo hold nt Toront from the Gth to the 17tn of Soptoinboi noxt. Tlio railroad connecting the strce car terminus with the grounds will b again operated by electricity. The locci motive , designed and constructed undr the supervision of Mr. .T. J. Wrlch manacor of the Toronto Klectrio Ligl company , and which did such good ser vice last .vnar , will again bo < ised. In prorcmrnt * suggested by the expcricnc of former years will bo introduced an the generating power increased , so ths ft speed of at least forty miles an hour I expected to bo attained. High speed ! rendered necessary owing to the grer number of passengers to bo carried in limited time. The electric engine per forms the service in a manner that n oilier motor could possibly do. llorsi1 are out of the question , and the smok and dirt of the steam locomotive , on road of this description , would make i decidedly unpopular. C The grounds and buildings will b lighted by 2"iO arc lights , besides incai do'rmits , furnished by the Toronto Klee trie Light company , the Hall Klectri company and tins Uoval Klcetrio com puny , of Montreal. Previous to the ail vent of oh'utricity as an illmniiiatin , agunt , the exhibition was essentially daylight one , the ground- and building ha\iug to be closed hi sundown. At th present time , however , the aspect c attains is entirely changed. The dircc tors find that tno evcniiurs are the nios popular , especially with those whose oc cupattons make it inconvenient for then to visit tlio exhibition in the dav time Some of the best attractions are reserve ! for the evening , and , indeed , often re quire the aid of ttio electric light ti properly display them. The spcetaeula piece , "Tho Last Days of I'ompeii , " produced ducod la t 3'car , was rendered intcnsel realistie by tlio Hashes of light from foil powerful arcs placed in parabolic rellec tors and foeu.-sed on the scenery , which witli the performers , extended a distune of a hundred and sixty yards fron wmp to wing. Another feature o the exhibition , which will be re peated this year , was tlio illnmin ated fountain. The columns of water an arranged to shoot into the air from i rockwork ba.se , and are intermingle ) with hundreds of spravs from revolvins sprinklers. Concealed in the rookwon is a chamber for lh operators , who ari protected from the falling water by gla lenses , opposite to which are plaoeu thi electric lights in powerful rellectors each with a slide in front composed o strips of variously tinted glass. The ef fret NJmarvcloiisI.v beautiful , the col \unns of water appearing like liquid lire and the sprays are illuminated with con tinually changing rainbow hues. Thi Toronto Electric Light company havi also on the ground a Star iron tower , 12. . feet high , which carries twelve 3,000 c p lights , and besides casting a brillian glow over the park below is a conspii nous object formiles around , and can in seen across the lake for a long distance The main tower of the principal build hit ; composed of glass and iron at an attiludi of ir > 0 feet , is illuminated by lights ii ruby tinted globes. These produce i novel effect through and around tin building. Vantllntlnn by Electricity. One of the most novel systems of vcnti lation yet devised has recently been in Mailed in the Bijou theatre , ita.ston , b ; tlin Anioncan Ventilating company Fresh air is earned through small pipe to every seat by the aid of a Spragu ejcetrio motor , located under the auditn rium , connected with a large blowe wliicli furnishes the supply of air. Th largest restaurant of Messrs. Russell i Sturgis , on Washington street , is suppliei with the sr.mo system. The supply o air can bo regulated by the occupant o each scat. The KltHt IjiKlitnliiK Rod. La Lnmloru Electriquo : If we are ti believe an Austrian paper , the first light ning rod was not constructed by Frank 1m , but by a monk of Seuttenborg , ii Bohemia , named Prohop Dilwisoh , whi installed an apparatus Juno 15 , 1754 , ii the garden of the curate of Prendit : ( Moravia ) The apparatus was compose * of a polo surmounted by an iron rod supporting Uyelvo curved branches nm terminating in as many metallic boxr filled with iron ore and closed by a bo < c wood cover , traversed by twuiity-sovoi iron points , which plunged at their bast in the ore. All the system were unitoc to the earth by a largo chain. The en cmies of Diwisch , jealous of his success a the court of Vienna , excited the peasant of the locality against him , and under tin pretext that his lightning rod was th * canso of the great drought , they madi him take down the lightning rod whicl ha had utilized for six years. What 1 most curious is the form of this firs lightning rod , which was ot multipl points like the one which M. Melseu af tuward invented. Cost of Kluotrlc Baltimore American : Mr. P. W.

A MCBIAKO l-'or Pnrn. Now York Correspondence : In tl general cable olllco on Broad street , tl cable man was complacently exunilnii his moustache by the aiu of a vest pock mirror , when a man walked in and sai "I want to send a cablegram. " "Whom to ? ' "Para , Hra/.ll. How much ? " ' 'Three dollars and forty cents. " The stranger paused relluctivoly , an then suggested : "You allow ten words , I suppose r" ' Ten liddlesticksl" retorted tlio cabl man indignantly. "You can send : many words as you like , but you wi pay $3.40 for each ami every word , it eluding address and signature , " "Great heavens !

London Times : A number of very in tcresting experiments have just bee made with .such electrical machined a arc employed in industries , witli th view of determining under what condi tion tiiey may become dangerous. Thes have been conducted by M. D'Arsonva who has already established the fact thn what is truly dangerous where these ma chines are used is the extra current tha occurs at the moment thu current i broken , and in order to annul this cxtr current ho proposes to interpose a snric of volta-meters containing acidulate water along the conductinw wire. Th new arrangement now employed is a once more .simple and otlicicnt. It cor sists of a V-sliapod lube made of an IE sulating substance , which , alter bein tilled with mercury , is interposed in th main current. In order to close the lal tor it is only necessary t turn atap , which is arrange similarly to the tap on a gas pipe. 1 tliis way the machine is unprimcd will out its being able to trivo an extra cm rout spark. Another arrangement is nls made use of , a glass tube being iillci with mercury and dipped into a reservoi containing the same substance. Thi tube is provided with a ground stoppet tins not only permitting thu siipprcssioi of the extra current , but also interposini any sort of resistance in the current. Ai though these details appear rather tecli nical , they relate to a mo.st hnporUn niatter. The use of electrical machine U increasing , and it is of practical use t know that currents are not dungcrou until a power , of 500 volts i readied. It is also of intere. ' to know that the mechanist of death , varies with the nature of tli electricity used. Thus , with an extra cut rent , or with alternating currents , thor is no anatomical lesion , and the patien can usually bo brought back to lif through the practice ot artilicial respir. turn employed in cases of drowning. Th discharge of static electricity from bai teries , on the contrary , causes a disoi ganixation of the tissues that render fruitless all attempts to restore life. Gas nnd Electricity. Boston Herald : In a paper read bofor a recent meeting of the Ohio Gaslight : i sociation , the point wns made that th gai men might as well acknowledge tha thejtirno has gone by when they can , will any serviceability to themselves , or ; down the use of electricity as a lightin ] medium. History , it was said , testifies ti the fact that nearly all new invention have , to pass through the ordeal of dia couiagement ami opposition before th world is willing to admit of their stabil ity but as the electric lighting of to-da1 gives better satisfaction to the public thai it did four years ago.it is evident that thi form of ligtiting has come to stay , am that improvements and economics m i are likely to continuously go on. Iloah ? in ; < this , the author of the paper roferrei to insists that the gas men 'should lose n time in utilizing the demand for dee tricity. They are in the lighting business and must supply the desires of their pat rons , what ever else may bo. As a nianu facturor who had been making a specia kind of goods for a large customer for i series of thirty years would , at the end o that time , deem it the best policy ti change tlio form and style of the good if his patron required it , rather than le him go elsewhere to purcha o his sup pliet , so the cas companies , if the light consuming public desire to have clectri city , should be ready to moot thit nev demand. Indeed , the authority that wi have referred to seems to bti of the opin Ion that this is only the beginning of i change that must take place In the ga : business ; that the time is conunf when all light will bo by one form 01 another of electricity , and that thu com panics will use their pipes , mains and ga1 plant generally for supplying fuel gas t ( the public ; for the steam generated foi electric lighting only occupies a' portior of the twenty-four hours , and the sanu l.oilers can bo used during the balance o that time in making water gas for fuo purposes. By this combination , it is be lieved that the dwellers of large town1 and cities will be .supplied with thu lies and most convenient forms ol light and and hunt at a minimum of expense IIOSSCH by St Louis Globe-Democrat The larg * number of lo-wes of life and property b.i lightning every year suggests atteiitior to the fact that no aecurato and apprnxt niiituly complete statistic * ) of deaths am : damage bv lightning have ever been pub lished. Mr. II. F. Krof/cr , of St. Louis Is at work upon such a compilation , anil when the rceord of 1837 is. completed hi proposes to publish what Im thinks wi ! bo the won complete record over made Mr. KretXcr has just received a n-porl from the state board of health of Massachusetts chusotts in vcrlliention of his statistics They report nivon deaths from llghtninj. during 1830. Lightning damages in tin east arc not as heavy an they are In tin middle anrt western elates. The Jpss tt life and property throughout the Unitei States each' year aggregates an liurnonso sum. An Klrctrlo frenk. Special Correspondence of 'the Globc- Domoerat : Yesterday afternoon Mr , Harry Pomberton , living about ten miles .southwest of this city , Holden , Mo. , started n youth by the name of Smith to llolden with a mule team to haul out a load of lumber , the wagon having no bed on the running-gear. When the boy passed by the Neal farm , n few miles south of lloldon , ho noticed a rain storm off to the northwest , apparently ten miles away.but overhead there were only n few scattering clouds. Without any premonition whatever a bolt of lightning from the heavens struck onuof the mules and killed it in its tracks , nnd stunned the other one , knocking it down and laming It for a few hours. The boy was not hurt , and the only damage to the wagon was the breaking of thu coupling pole. The electric ball passed into thu giound under the team , tearing several holes in the earth. A Hoy's Iend Impervious to n tlolU .Mlddlotown ( N. Y. ) Sjiecial to No\r ork Herald : A wonderful escape from death by lightning occurred on the farm of John \ \ . Cowser , six miles north of lids place , at 4 o'clock yesterday after noon. Farmer Cowsor's fifteen-year-old son was at work in tlio haylield , a heavy thunderbolt being close at hand , when a lightning bolt descended among them , striking tlio lad on top of the head , and leaving him unconscious and apparently dead on the ground. It was found that the bolt had made a hole an inch in di ameter In tlio crown of the boy's hat.and had then divided , passing down to the earth on each side , splitting open one leg of his trousers and on the other sldo tearing the shoo from his foot. About an hour later the boy returned to con sciousness. This morning ho is around tlio farm apparnbtly fully recovered from the shock and complaining only of : v slight soreness of the muscles of his legs. ChnapiicHS of Electric Ijlchtn. Western Electrician : Rochester , N. Y. , has just contracted with three olcctrio light companies to light the city for live years. The cost of lighting the city for u series of years past has been In the neigh borhood of * ( JO,000 to 1100,000 annually. Until 1831 the lighting of the city was done by gas nnd kerosene. Since that year electric lighting has gained n strong foothold , and year alter year has seen larger and larger districts of the oily il luminated by electricity. The total amount of the contracts with the three companies , without figuring on any in crease in the number of lights , is $ a91S88.3o ! , which is an average of if5',25l.85 ' ! per annum. These figures are significant in the showing they make in the fetcauily increasing popularity ot the electric light , anil are especially signifi cant in view of the fact that the three electric light companies have bo n in competition with three gai companies. Fibblpir About Their \Vnlst Klzes. Writing of waists , it has often occurred to mo , when reading "dress exchange columns , " that women in mentioning the size of their waists , never seem to get beyond the regulation 23 inches. Occa sionally 1 notice some courageous indi vidual announces that she measures Sli inches , but beyond that no ono seems to dare to go. Oftener than not , wo see 18 , 19 , 20 and 21 inches severally quoted as beiiiK the waist si/.o. Now , ono cannot help a feeling of uncer tainly that in countless cases this does not represent nature's standard. It Is too uniform by far.for the great mother delights hi variety , never more openly expressed than in relation to the human form divino. Alas , the divinity of shape is often destroyed by foolish f6lks. who think some reduction of si/.o absolutely essential to beauty. I am sure anyone who has noticed the fact I drew attention to will see that between twenty-three and twonty-olght inches there is a great gulf lixed , and that very few unmarried women will confess to inturinediato nehes.
