FRIDAY. JAN. 5, 1900.

As a general proposition it is distinct- Iy untrue that a married couple can live on less, or on the same amount, or or neariy the same as the young mar alone, very truly observes a writer ir the Chicago Tribune. There is a largo personal element in the problem, and it Is true that many young men with good malarirs never save a ilollar until after they marry, but that is neither a proof of their wisdom nor a confirmation of the fallacious aphorlsm above quoted It is true that if the young wife is a skillful honsekerper she can make thi ilaily expenses for food and lodging somewhat less than they would be at a boarding house of the same grade, But In order to do this she must have fur niture, utensils, and ali the parapher- nalia of a honsekceping plant. This re- quires enpital, and if the parlor and kitchen forniture is bought on the in- sta: ment play, the happy couple are like - ly to find themselves minus those arti. cles some chilly morning. As for rent, A married couple almost always starts out with more than double The amount of room required for a single man. so that the rent is more than ilnuhled. If both man and the woman are earning salaries or doing a full share of the joint labor at the outset, it must not be forgotten that this state of affairs may hot continue indefinitely. If the fam- ily of two hecomes one of three, the fal- lacy of marrying on a salary sufficient only for one will be still more painfully apparent. The test of whether a man can marry ou a personu salary Satte this: Can he save money on it? if he cannot save a few hundred dollars be- fore marrying he had better remain single. If his salary Is large enough to keep a family on, hut stil he cannot save, then his wife may help him get a bank account, hut the chances are that she wul simply be a wretched drudge. Many men learn to cut off their waste- ful habits after marriage, and this is the basis of the popular sophism nbou! two living on less than one, but the fal- incy remains a fallacy nevertheless. Many men find it impossible to live as Pronomically after marriage as before. and for there the cost of living is more than douhied. it all depends upon the man and woman, but it is always safe to say that a salary too small to save the cost of a household outfit ujun is too small to marry upon.

U'nele Fabian, an oid gentleman of co or who da y ris'ts Seth Water street, Chicago, says the judging of a watermelon without use of the "plug- ging" process is an art practically un- known north of Mason and Dixon's line.

"Ah believe dat in a gen'ral way," said the old colored man ns quoted hy the Record, "de no'th'u folks ah fu'theh ad- vanced 'n' de south'nebs, but Ah don' hesitate & secon' in saying dal dey don' know it all.

Queer matrimonial records have been discovered in Indiaus. One of the most remarkable of there is the fourteenth marriage of Aunt Folly Owens, of White river township, Hamilton county. Abe probably holds the Mississippi vai- ley multi-marriage best. She is only 60 years of age and looks as though she might outlive a dozen more husband . Aunt Poly was married the first time when she wan 15 years old, and was loft a widow two years later. Since then abe has averaged a new husband every two years. She bax procured eight or nine divorces. The rest of her bus- bands have died. She has only six ch- dren as the restof her inulti-marr'age career, but those six have as many of 1 ferent names.
