3 AN IMPENDING EVIL.
Observation t'pon tlie Annual Drx-rcase
In tlio Number of MRrrlaj;r.
A social reformer, who is as precise
in his statements of facts as he is expert
in the. manipulation of tinres, reports
as the result of the investigation that
the number of marriages is decreasing
every year. Wo have just cause for
alarm if the report is true. Certainly
the choice of a wife is a subject full of
piquant attraction to a romantic young
man who has sown his wilil oats anil is
saving his earnings and longs for the
comfort and slippered ease of a home
of his own. The difficulties of court
ship, however, are perplexing, arduous
and real. In Knickerbocker times the
knot was securely tied after a bluff
proposal and the young married couple
were ready to start housekeeping with
a barrel of potatoes, a blunderbuss and
a family Hible. Then life was idyllic
and full of romance and song. Hut
tcmpora mulanlur and they change for
the worse, in most respects. No longer
do the married pair llutter through
life on wing-? of romance. The chief
bond of interest that unite young lovers
in this mercenary age i a Government
four percent. The domestic tie is so elas
tic, divorces so easily procurable, the
feminine heart is so tickle withal, that
eligible young men feel morbidly t-by
about exposing themselves to the mat
rimonial noose and would as soon
think of slipping a halter around the
neck.
The rule of woman in masculine at
tire anil eoiniiion sense shoes is not a
pleasant spectacle to contemplate. But
if the girls of the Republic are not mar
ried oil' in some way, old maids of the
most virulent type, in various stages of
physical decline, will be clamoring for
their rghts with exceeding vigor and
persistency, and who knows whether
there will bo enough green tea and
scandal left to go around? Already
the census table shows a deplorable in
crease in their number. They are or
ganizing crusades against the most
cherished institutions of mankind.
If for no other reasons than the above,
human ingenuity should devise some
method of facilitating proposals and
tightening the love knot so there can
be no e-eape. Cynics seoff at the mar
ital relations. Idle dictations ;u-o de
stroying the confidence of young peo
ple of romantic temperanwut in one
another. Sir George Campbell lias en
deavored to prove that there is no such
thing as love; that it is a psychological
delusion. So long as these ideas pre
vail, no easy-going youth will feel like
sacrificing the frolic and fun of Bo
hemia for the martyrdom of the do
mestic circle. lint legislation can rec
tify the evil. The law-maker.s should
take the matter in hand. They can
make courtship a civic duty which the
individual owes to society, and enforce
it by law. Were men who persist in
remaining single disfranchised and di
vested of their property, and were
women who refused to marry shut up
in convents anil denied access to the
fashion magazines, the aggressive type
of maiden lady who delights in agitat
ing social and political reforms, would
gradually disappear and an ominous
evil would be averted, an evil that all
sensible people would seriously deplore.

HINTS ON IRONING.
ICelluble Infiiriiiiitlou Itolittiiii; to This IMlU
cult l'urt of l.-iui.Ury Work.
Every housekeeper should acquaint
herself with the general rules necessary
for ironing. It is difficult to g!ve di
rections how to iron well, as experience
is the best teacher, b.it there are several
things to be observed in doing the work
to which strict attention must be given.
A strong table of suitable size, and a
light ironing board, also a bosom board
should be provided. Irons of three
sizes are convenient, and should always
be kept clean, and smooth; ashes, salt
or brick dust are good to clean irons,
and wax rubbed occasionally on them
will serve to keep them in good order.
The sheets and table linens should be
ironed first, then the shirts. First iron
the shirt all over, wringiiiir a clean
cloth out of warm water, and rub over
the bosom, which should be rapidly
gone over with a clean hot iron, then
the plaits should be raised, and ironed
again, then dampened with water or
polish, and ironed with a polishingiron.
Fine thin dresses, or other soft articles
that do not need polishing, should bo
ironed on a soft blanket. Embroideries
should be ironed on the wrong side.
Always have near a bowl of clean
water, so any spot imperfectly ironed
may be dampened and ironed over un
til smooth. Ladies' Home Journal.
A Story From Chicago.
Tlio woman who remarked tuat with
one servant your household work is
done, with two it is half done, and with
three you have to do it yourself, doubt
less thought she had said a neat thing.
Hut, according to a gentleman of Chi
cago, electricity is the only satisfactory
domestic servant. lie has litted up his
house with electrical apparatus that does
every thing. It wakens him in the
morning. After that all he has to do is
to press knobs. With one pressure the
lire Ik lighted, and on goes the kettlo;
with another his hot water is sent up
stairs. Electric scrubbing brushes keep
every thing nice and clean, and an
electric page-boy opens the door for
wallers and tlio morning's milk. Phila

A writer in the Boston W says:
"Some years asro I noticed for the first
time a frail young girl who had taken
her position as a candy seller in a door
way, upon a particularly cold street.
1 marked her appearance, with a sigh,
feeling sure that the severity of a single
winter would consign her to an early
grave. But what has been the result?
She has sat in the same place over since,
and instead of going into a decline she
has improved in looks year by year,
and is now positively robust."
Fifteen years ago G. L. Larnie was
scalped by the Sioux Indians in the
western part of the then Territory of
Colorado. Monday he wandered into
Waco, Tex., sick, weary and without
money. He had been roving about in
the mountains for fifteen years. His
wounds are still open, and when he lift
his hat and raises the bandages he pre
sents a ghastly spectacle. Many old
frontiersmen gathered about him, and
the old Hash leaped into their eyes as
they listened to his pitiful story. Steps
are being taken to permanently relievo
his necessities. Denver 2'ribunc.
"The blizzards out in Dakota are

of these storms without running the
risk of losing their way in their own
yards. One can not seo three feet
ahead in a Dakota bliz i d, and if he
once loses his bearings l.e is almost cer
tain to drift out upon the prairie and
perish before assistance can reach him.

built in a shipyard. It s as tall as a
