I live in his house, at his table I eat, I am known by his name through the town But the very word milliner gives him the blues, And he scowls if T want & new gown, He admires other ladies so airy and fine, In their laces and furbeiow collars, And wishes his wife had little more style— So do I—but I cant get the dollars, From morning to evening 1 roast, bake or broil, Till my face like a parchment is dried, And l::y hands are asted as the reddest of ects From the moulding of bread, cake and pie.

Marriages Among Victoria's Subjects. The marriages registered during the year 1885, says the Queen, numbered 15, giving a r 14.4 persons to every 1,000. This is the lowest marriage rate since civil registration began, and is equaled only once, 1879. * 1t is often often supposed, and' it has been stated in works of high authority, that marriages ine e as the |l)rim' of food diminishes. This is certainly not true at present in this count nd, indeed, th registrar- general s that the marriage rate has of recent years varied, not fnversely, but directly with the price of wheat; and this statement he illustrates a table in which he sets down the n rate for the twenty-six years up to the date of this book, together with the value a head of the population of the United Kingdom in exports and imports, the average price of wheat a quarter, and (during eighteen years), the amount’ cleaved at the Bank- ers’ clearing house for every head of the population, Of the 197,745 marriages celebrated in 1835, 139913 were sol- emnized according to the rites of the Chureh of Engfand. This proportion is slightly higher than usual. 'With regard to the births of the year, it may be no- ticed that they were in the proportion of 2.5 to every 1,000 of the population, the lowest rate since 1848, The male sex out- number the female by 455,800 to 483,461, though it is evident from the estimate already given that the females have a better chance of surviving, The Ma e of Cousins, Science: From the physician’s point of view, the ¢vidence from the animal world is impottant, Here there is almost consensus, that, while the effect of *“‘in- and-in breedin” is to intensify points, in the long ran i‘ is opposed to vigor of constitutioh. It is to be remembered that every breeder takes care to exclude any animal with any known morbid ten- dency, while, on the contrary, in the genus homo, as Dr. Clouston "remarks, there seems to be a “special tendeney for members of neurotic families to inter- marry.” The result of this will be that in some portions of the popnlation the offspring of such marringe will show the evil results of it to an unusual extent. And thus we fipd that in roral and espec- ially in mountainous distric! the population is small and fi comparative amount of idiocy is elsewhore, Statistio f @ ‘ o SUNDAY, MARCH 20. 1887.—~TWELVE PAGES. tion' is " inadequate on _the the motion to include it census returns of England was rejected ‘“‘amidst the scornful laughter of the house, on the greund that the idle curiosity ot speculative philosos phers was not to be gratitied,” in France the returns have given rise to various estimates (varying from 9-10 to 24 or3 per cent) of the frequency of consanguin ous marriages. Mr. . H. Darwin came to to the conclusion that in London 1} per cent of all marriages were between first cousins, in urban districts 2 per cent, in rural districts 2} per cent. If, now, we ascertain the ratio of idiots and insane patients that are the oftspring of such marriages to the total number o patients in the asylums, we will have some means of estimating the results of consanguinity. From quite an extended series of records it is concluded that tho ratio just referred to in the idiot asylums is from 3 to 5 per cent,hence “first cousin at any rate, are to some ex- ble to the production of idiot But this conclusion must be tempered by the consideration that in a number of cases of idiocy and imbecility othier causes for this condition are pres- ent; and this consideration leads Dr. A, Mitchell to the opinion that “under fa- vorable conditions the apparent ill effects of consanguineous marriag - quently alinost nil, while if the children were ill-fed, badly housed and clothed the evil might become very marked.” From such facts and figures Wwe may con- clude that first cousin marriages should, as a rule, be discouraged; but that, 1f close scrutiny reveals no hereditary weakness,neurotic or otherwise,the banns need not invariably be forbidden. subjoc in tho B Wedding Rings in Ye Olden Times. Jewellers' Weekly: It was a pretty custom, long ago, for lovers to exchange rings. The gentleman did not have to spend a months’ income for a pretty trinket for which he got no return, but he also wore and cherished a souvenir from his sweetheart. Chaucer describes a heroine as giving her lover a ring on which were engraved suitable love mot- toes, and receiving a like one in return. Shakespeare makes more than one allu- sion to this custom. In the “Two Gen- tlemen of Verona,” Julia gives Porteus aring, saying, ‘“‘Keep you this remem- brance for thy Julia’s sake.” To which he replies: “*Why, then, we'll make ex- cha here, take you this.” . 'gimmal” or linked ring was then invented which gave still greater force and significance to the custom. It was made of a double and often trivle link, which turned upon a pivot. It could be onened, showing three rings, A small hand was attached to eachouterrin g, which, when closed, caused the hands to clasp, inclbsing a heart which was af- fixed to the central notched ring. It was customal } to break these rings asunder in a solemn manner over the bi- ble. It wus always done in the presence of a witness, who kept the centre ring, the bethrothed couple reserved the two outside links, When the marriage con- tract was fulfilled at the altar the three portions were united and the ring used in the ceremony.

The gentleman is noth- ing if not severely pr: al in many things, and no ly in his opinion of the matrimonial relation, When he made up his mind to get married, he took a her short cut to the consummation of de- termination, and, addressing the lady by her christian nane, voiced his proposal in the following uniaue st; I con- sider marriage a purely business transac- tion; there is no love or nonsensc about me; now, with this understanding, will gid way of putting this all- important query “appreciably low the temperature in - that vieimity, for a few minutes, at least, and the lady is not to be blamed for the immed “No” given in answer, ‘“‘Very well,” sud Mr. Ieicle, “'suit yourself.” The lady, evi- dently regretting her hasty ative, immediatery retracted with, “Yes, I euess [ will have you,” and Cupid, hay- ing completed his task, packed his quiver and hastened to a warmer climate to get thawed out, leaving “Two souls with but a single thought, two hearts that beat as—" well, as they always did, each thum ping away on 1ts own ac- count, No Longer Fashionable, Kissing the bride ata wedding is no longer fashionable, so the clergymen who off s at society weddings in future will miss the labi isite. “‘In- ys the latest ook uette, kissing in public is no longer permissible in good society, and a reserved and re- fined womanhood has heen long in re- bellion against this usage without having abolished it until quite recently. This public may be her own invited and wel- comed guests, but all the same she ob- jeets to being kissed in their presence, and very proverly. Indeed, few brides are willing to have their veils raised and thrown backward until they have left the church. This, also, is in excellent taste.”’ Another old favorite is also gone. “Thank you!" has ceased to be etiquette. Read the new rule: *‘A gentleman al- W lifts his hat when oflering a service to a lady, whether he is acquained with her or not. It may be the restoration of her dropped ’kerchief or fan, the receiv- ing of her money to pass it to the cash- box of u cur, the opening of her umbrella as she descends from a carringe—all the ame; he lifts it before he of! ice, or during the courtesy, if p N She bows, and, if she chooses, she also smiles her acknowledgment; but she does the latter faintly and she does not speak. To say *“Thank you!” is not an excess of Igment, but it has ceased to be ~ % % When a gentleman lady upon whom such an attention he always lifts his hat and says, ‘“Thank you!" I'he etiquotte of the street has mnot changed “much. Between intimate friends it is immaterial which bows first, but in all other cases it is the lady’s plac to recognize the gentleman, and it is his rerogative to respond. A carefully red lady will never be capricious in her public recogmtions of gentlemen, nor will she be demonstrative, Self respect withholds her from expressing any private sentiments of dislike in her public greet- ings, although she may refuse to recog- nize an acquaintance for good and sufli- cient reasor Her recognitions will be fully polite or they will not be made at all.” Even thodagh alady be effended toward a gentleman, he must not pass without raising his eyes. Etiquette per- mits a gentleman when driving and he can not toiach his hat to make a cordial bow. [f riding n the saddle, he may lift his hat or touch its rim with his whip. accompanies Cost of Breakinug a Heart, A pretty Pallsh maiden named Maria Luchminski had been playing sad havoe with the hearts of several young Polish gentlemen residing at “Nan- ticoke, ~ Pa.
