No Trouble to Marry.

'way in which a New England couple
were married over 50 years ago in a
small New Hampshire town ; j
The minister had a sawmill which
occupied many, of his week day
hours, and he was standing in the
.door of this sawmill one bright Sep
tember morning when a horse came
along the road which' wound down
to the milL On the horse was a
I- young man, a member of the minis
ter's congregation, and a pretty
young woman from one of the neigh
boring Villages, i :i
The minister looked at them for a
moment and then said cheerfully,
"Want to get married, I reokon?"' j
"Yes," replied the young man,
with an ingenuous blush. - j
"Do you take this woman for your
Wedded wife? Yoti needn't get off
the horse," said the minister. j
"I do, " replied the young man. ! '
. "And do you take this man to be
your wedded husband?" continued
the minister. C.
"I do, " said the pretty rider.

Two Monster; Beetles. - .
The largest bug known to the old
world entomologists, is the gigantic
Goliath beetle, which is found along
the Kongo river in Africa. Goliath
is upward of six inches in length
from the tip of his nose to the nether
end of his hard shelled body and
has a pair of gauzy wings folded up
tinder his arms, either of which is
aa larore as a lady's faoe veil. But
Goliath is a pigmy when compared
with the elephant beetle of Venez
uela, an entomological giant which
weighs nearly a pound and which
has a wing spread equal to that of a
mallard duck. Both of these bugs
are rare and very valuable. St.

A Case Consideration.
In Michigan Mra,- Morehouse was
lately nominated for state superintend
ent of public instruction by the Pro
hibitionists. The attorney general ox
Miohigan has filed an opinion that un
der the constitution of that state a wo
man ia ineligible to a state office. He is
also of opinion that a woman cannot
legally hold an office for which she
oanndt vote.
Tho point that a woman cannot bold
a state office in Michigan may, perhaps,
w noit rata na the constitution of
UTU TV v vev v-w i-
Michigan is peculiarly rigid. But the
general prinoiple that a woman cannot
hold an office for which she cannot vote
is wholly untenable; Naturalized citi
zens vote for- president of the United
States, yet only a native born citizen
oau be president. The office of state su
perintendent of publio instruction is al
present held by a woman, not only in
Wvnmine and in Colorado, where wo
men vote, but also in North Dakota,
where they do not ; !f
( Meanwhile tnose wno say wan : w
lack of suffrage entails no practical
grievance on women are invited to con
this case in Michigan. Here is a
woman arbitrarily j debarred from a po-
sition which she is abundantly comp
tentto hold, and which is acceptably
held by women in jother. states, simply
because under the constitution of Mich
igan that position must be held by ft
voter. Boston Woman's Journal. M

liermany possesses a lareocom-
mercial marine and nojaious trade,1
with a relatively grrfall extent of

edly injureber trade, but upon that
sho i3 not dependent for her na
tional existence. She has lahd fron
tiers across whioh she can always
import any food stuffs and other
Bupplies which she. cannot produce
for herself. By stopping her sea
borne trade we might I cripple her
financially, but we oould scarcely
hope, if she were in, a determined
mood, to bring her jto her knees. To
do that we should have to destroy
her fleet, to seize her naval ports
and perhaps even to -undertake the
landing on her shores of a largo ex
peditionary force, i I do iiat desire
to insist upon the expeditionary
foroe. ' I will contemplate only the
destruction or capture of her fleet
and of her ports and the shipping in
them, and I would ask,' Have we
sent to sea and indeed do we pos
sess suoh a naval 'force; as could
affect those end$? The answer must
be in thetnegalife.r ! i !
The German boasts, both in tbe
Baltio and in the North sea, are sur
rounded by shallows, and, are, even
in the most favorable oiroumstanoes,
difficult bl approaqlj for. large ships.
In war time, with buoys removed
and lights extinguished, it would be
impossible for ironolads drawing"25
feet and upward as all our modern
ironolads without ;;exoeption ; do to
get within the longest gunshot ) of
Wilhelmshaven, Hamburg, Kiel,
Stettin or Danzig.l where alone, un
less we could persuade the German
fleets to come out into the open, we
could expect jto deal a staggering
blow. . ' i - ; ? . i ' . -t -To
dream of attacking German
coasts and harbors, fortified as they
are, without thej. cooperation of
ironclads would be sheer folly even
if we had the co-operation of a land
ing force. Yet wo have not today a
single light draft ironclad fit for
operations within range of modern
guns or herself carrying guns of
that sort. For years 'past we have
built largo ironclads and no others.
I have ! nothing to urge against the
large ironclads. Other things being
equal, the large ironclad should be
more formidable and more safe in a
fleet action in deep water than the
small one. But that is not the only
point to be . considered in thinking
of a war with Gerntany. j
We all recollect the futile appear
ance Off the German coasts of the
French fleet in 1870. Germany sim
ply sat still behind her sand banks
and her forts and' did' almost noth
ing, until at length the French, buf
feted by a hard Winter and perplex
ed by the coaling! problem; began to
grow weary of the enforced inactiv
ity and went home again. As Ger-
many did with France in 1870 so
might she , elect jto do with: Great
Britain in 1896. j If she did, we
should find ourselves condemned to
fill a comparatively passive role, and
we could do nothing decisive unless
late in the day wo set about building
ships of the types whidh ought al
ready to be well represented in our
navy, but which have not a single
exponent. Nineteenth Century. t
. i .'The Cost of Belitjfon. ;. '
Both as a purchaser of materials
and supplies and as an employer the
church has ! important relations to
business. It is manifest, therefore,
that the -financial affairs of the
church must be on a j large scale
when all its interests are considered.
It takes $10,355,000 annually to pay
the bills of the Protestant Episcopal
church, $23,863, 000 to pay those of
the Methodsit 'Episcopal church,
nearly $14,000,000 for the expenses
and contributions of the Presbyte
rian church (northern),! $11,673,000
for those of the regular Baptists and
$10,355,000 for those of the Congre
gational denomination; making an
aggregate of $88; 000, 000 every year
contributed by ip, 768, 000 members
an average of f $8.16 per -member.
The grand total for all denomina
tions could hardly be less than $150,
000,000, and it might be many mil
lions larger, Most of this is made
up of voluntary contributions. Tho
value of church buildings, lots and
furniture in 1890 was about $680,'-;
000,000., It is quite probable that it
is now fully $800,000,000. Forum.

V - The Hygienic Value of Spnpa,
"In a family where soup begins the din
ner and the dishes following are of a con
centrated nature the soup should be light,
clear and warm, : not necessarily nutri
tious," writes Mrs. 8. T. Borer in ladies V
Home Journal, telling how to make vari
ous kinds of soups. "But where tsoup is to
form the entire dinner it must be of a
nourishing j character. 1 As water cannot
dissolve the fiber of beef,' and the fiber of
beef holds the larger part of the nourish
ment, a beef soup, cloar and beautiful
though it may be, is not nutritious.
The albumen is- soluble In water, of
course-but as clear soup is boiled this
coagulatcs the albumen and Bpoila the bril
liancy. SO we clarify and strain this out,
thus robbing the liquid of every grain of
nutriment.: From a hygienic standpoint,
then, this Is necessarily served at te Be
ginning of .the meal, the ohject being to
invite Into the stomach the gastric secre
tions before the entrance of the solid food.
While the fashiori of a dinner soup Is al
most entirely in this .country uu jv
the few,' the masses, if they would only
stop to consider the hygiene of the fashion,
would follow quickly," !

COTTON MARKETS.
By Telegrapa to the Morning Star.
New York. May 12. Tbe cotton
market showed considerable irregularity
to day, selling off lid the afternoon but
rallying partially later in the session,
with the market finally steady at a net
decline of 15 points- The early weak
ness in cotton was due primarily to very
disappointing cables from Liverpool in
view of tbe advance that took place in
our market yesterday afternoon. At the
same time crop accounts, while more or
less conflicting, bad a bearish average
during the iorenoou- Later in the ses
sioa there was some raliy on less lavoi
able weather predictions, pointing to in
dications of showers all over the cotton
belt within the next twenty-four, hours.
Much of the time )une and July con
tracts held a firm relation to the general
market, owing to j continued interest
shown by ; American spinners and ex
porters in spot cotton. During the af
ternoon buying on Southern orders was
a feature, while room traders met the
demand without hesitation. At the
weakest interval the market today
showed a net loss o 47 points.

hour and then the . bears went in and
were still batting in an irresolute way at
the clcse. the score standing c in their
favor at tbe call of time. Crop damage
reports caused tbe early strength and
realizngwas the principal reason for
the decline. Corn was a shade easier and
jc lower in the end. Oats also lost a
trifle, but averaged firm. Provisions
were rather weak, but the changes in
prices were In the end very slight, . . -
