Ithas alwavs been a standing problem in social mathematics at what ages girl should get married. The afternoon teas of many gen erations have heard it discussed by matrons who married at all ages and by maids who have been ab!e to wed at none. In the en cyclopedia of social ethics it re mains unsolved, but of late science has stepped in to settle the ques tion with statistics. The best time for a woman to marry, says such medical publica tions as the Hospital, is between 24 and 3G years of age. Very early marriages are sildom de sirable for girls, and that for many reasons. The brain is immature, the reason is feeble and the, char acter is unformed. The considera tions which would prompt a girl to marry at 17 would, in many cases, have very little weight with her at 24. At 17 she is a child, at at 24 a woman. Where a girl has intelligent parents the seven years between 17 and 24 are the period when both mind and body are most amenable to wise discipline and best repay the thought and toil devoted to their develop ment. This may be scientifically cor rect and all that, but we have a theory of our own about this mat ter. We think it is a good deal like Webster said of eloquence. "It depends upon the man, the subject and the occasion." In other words each individual case furnishes its own rule. J. G. Holland puts it about right in his uPoy Path:" "There comes a time," he writes, "in each maiden's life, where she stops and looks around for a mate. " Some women stand there for years. Others marry and soon surprize their friends with the wealth of wifely and womanly qualities their satisfied natures unfold." The time for girls to marry remains yet for Infants and Children.

Sullivan and Kilrain must feel like kicking themselves and also their managers for selecting a spot in Mississippi for the recent fistic battle, since they have learned that Texas not only has no law against prize fighting, but encour ages it by providing a license law for that purpose. The last legis latureofthat state passed a law on this subject, of which the main section is the following: "For every light between man and man, or between men and bulls, or be tween dogs and bulls, or between bears and dogs, or between bulls and any other animals, or between dogs and dogs, $500 for each per formance." In referring to this law, one Texas paper says that it was passed for the express purpose of inducing Sullivan and Kilrain to settle their difficulty in that state, but for some reason the managers of the fight were not informed of the existence of the law until after the fight, and the Mississippi officers were hard on the track of the pugilists This is particularly unfortunate for the two principals who are now in the clutches of the law, and will have to expend quite a sum of money and probably a term in nrison before the majesty of x . the law is satisfied; whereas, had they known of the Texas law and taken advantage of it, they could have deposited their $250 and fought as long as they wished with perfect security and serenity. Texas is the onlv state in the 't-t ji . i i : (I ,T, i : union mas legalizes prize ugnting, There are other states, however, that have no law against such en counters, but they do not openly encourage them.

"Beloved flock," the parson said, then caused and wiped his eyes. "As pastor and as people we most sever tender ties; l'ye a call to go to Blanktown to be their chosen pastor: A call so loud to disobey, I fear, would grieve the Master. Replied the spokesman of the flock: "Al though loua tne can may oe We'll call you louder to remain; an X for Those Blanktown people offer you we'll give to Keep you nere. We trust you'll hear a voice divine, our call s so loua ana clear. With sobbing voice the parson said: "My I'll stay with vou, beloved ones; to heaven's will I bow. So let us sing 'Blest be the tie,' and sing it clear and strong; To leave you when you call so loud would be exceeding wrong: Tnen in his study sat he down, imlir.p a letter to Unto the church at Blanktown, Thus did 'I've wrestled o'er your call with praye;the T.nrd hida m fcn flfav And. consecrated to His work.

And it was so that there occurred a serious railroad accident in this country; whereby many people were gathered to their lathers. And the next day there came to the palace of the Caliph a director of the railroad on which happened this accident, and after bowing to the ground he lifted up his voice and said: "O, most wise and just Caliph, the rails spread on us tramps had pulled out the spikes with their teeth, but we knew it not Of a certainty the rails did spread on us. Behold, it was the act of Allah!" "So?" answered the Caliph, as he stroked his beard: ''truly I grieve to hear that the rails spread But Allah is good. Mesrour," he continued, turning to his execu tioner, "hehead this man at the fourth hour witliout fail." And it was so that at ten min utes after the fourth hour his body was delivered to his friends. And the next month there was nnni hpr previous accident on an other road whereby more true believers were cut off, even as may be the enemies of the Prophet. And the day following tbe presi dent of the.road knocked at the palace gate and was admitted by a slave. And when he was come into the presence of the Caliph he prostrated himself and said: "There is but one God, and Ma homet is his prophet! Most wise and inst (Jalinh. we had an acci- dent on the Demascus Short Line, 0 A , and many true Mussulmans are slain. Allah is good! Behold, there was a washout, and our en gineer wist.it not, but plunged in at the slow rate of sixty Christian miles to the Christian hour. See, I weep that such things should be!" "Indeed!" answered the mighty Caliph; "so there was a washout that ye wot not of. I suspected as much. Mesrour, when the faithful go to noonday prayers be head this man who was ignorant ot the washout." And, behold the true believers were even then passing to me noonday prayers, and Mesrour took the president to his studio and finished up the job in time for late prayers himself. And on the tenth day ot the eighth month, on another road, there was still another accident, and a score of true followers of Islam bit the dust And the next or of. f W nineth hour after rmd- uaj cu Children Cry for pitcher's Castoria. night the Board of Directors, and 'resident, and a General Manager or two, and three Vice-Presidents knocked and prayed (hat they might make speech with the most wise and just Caliph. Ana he suffered them to enter and they fell on their faces and worshiped him, and then the president spake saying: "Commander of the faithful, Mahomet is mighty, and thou are tiis true vicar on earth. By the beard of the prophet there has been trouble with the Mecca lim ited. Great Caliph, many of thy subjects are no more. Thus it was: The locomotive was a new one and it became frightened at a bicycle and snorted a couple of times and jumped into the ditch. Truly we knew not that it was one of these skittish locomotives. O, mighty son of the prophet, we rend our shirts that it is so. But the ways of Allah are mysterious!" "Mesrour," said the Caliph, "it seems to me that I have heard this story before." "You have, son of Mahomet," "The engine shied on them well, vou know the old prescrip tion give 'em the same razzle dazzle 'em!'3 And the great Caliph, who was wise ana gooa as ne was great, took up the blessed Alcoran and read its words, but ere he could finish a page they were razzled. For Mesrour never let business accumulate on his hands. And it happened that there was no more accidents in tne lana 01 . . t i t n the commander of the faithiu even unto this day. The other railroad folks took the hint. But in closing it should be said that this is a far country indeed, being a great many days' journey from this country. N. Y. Tribune. HOT MILK AS A STIMULANT. Mrs. Hayes always declared that a Derfectlv adequate substitute for liquor when needed as a stimulant could be found in hot milk, and after any cold or wetting eJif o-avfi this in nlace of wine or whisky which others wouli have considered necessary. This is, by the way, a custom of Mrs. Cleve land's also, who discovered, after the fatigues of the many long and wearisome receptions she was obliged to go through, standing for hours on her feet and shaking hands with hundreds of people, that nothing would restore her so quickly as a cupful of boiling milk in little sips as hot as it possibly could be taken. The Washington girls caught the idea from her, and find'ng how quickly it helped them after a hard day of calls and social duties they began to substi tute it for the various malt prepa rations they had been in the habit of taking, or the hot wine and water which their maids usually administered when they came in too tired to dress for their ext en gagement. Edison pronounces the invention of an electrie railway that is capa ble of a speed of 200- miles an hour to be the greatest conception since the telegraph. It is claimed that the cars can be so constructed as to carry passengers from New York to Chicago in five hours HoweverTthe owners-' of the patent expect at present only to build as mail and exriress line between these two cities that its success may be thoroughly demonstrat ted.

A company of English and French bankers have acquired a concession from the' Sultan of Turkey for this enterprisey and liave had their preliminary sur veys made. It is a purely busi ness undertaking, induced by the increase of travel .during recent- years, lhe road wilt approach Jerusalem from the northeast passing through the valley f Je hosaphat and by the, tombs of the1 Kings, entering the city through Herod's Gate. The route south of Jerusalem, to Behleheff, has- not vet been surveyed, nor has the site for a depot in Jerusalem been selected. The gentlemen who are interested in the enterprise say that as it will be largely a tourists road care will be taken to provide strictly first-class accommodations. Coaches of American build are to form a part of the rolling stock. including probably drawing-room and Pullman cars. There is some curiosity express ed among the speculative as to- the effect of such an intensely modern fact as a railroad with its tim schedule and steam whistle upon the reverential influence which envelopes the pilgrim to Palestine, It is probable that this effect will be slight. The traveler whose pious spirit has not been- ruffled by the Turkish tradesmen- and beg gars of Jerusalem will probably not mind a steam engine or two.
