MEN'S MARRIAGEABLE AGE.
Old Subject DUcnssed From a New Point,
of View. ""
It is a singular fact that the discus
sion of matrimony in all its aspects is
always made relative to the woman. It
is as If she wns the most Interested of
the two persons in the case, nnd had
looked upon marriage in the light of
an achievement, upon whose laurels,
she could rest for the remainder of her
life. Tho age at which she should
achieve matrimony is gravely dis
cussed; also her qualifications for that
picturesque institution of society.
Yet marriage is not a one-sided affair.
There is a man in the case. What of
him?
At what nge should a man marry?
This experiment of home-making con
tains as many complex elements, some
hiddcn.Eomcappirent.forhimnsforthe
woman. Much of its success depends
upon the way he has. approached it,
and the way in which ho hasapproached
it depends upon his age. A man at 34
will see differently und act differently
from his manner of seeing nnd acting
at 24, that is, if he has developed in
mind and character during the Inter
vening ten years. Broadly speaking,
the marriageable age of men should
not be placed under 25; not alone be
cause men under that njro are not, as a
rule, in a financial position to marry;
chiefly because they have not sufficient
maturity of character to judge wisely.
Judgment is, indeed, out of the ques
tion in those tender years between 19
and 25. The man is a boy whom the
world has not yet taken into its confi
dence; and in spite of its absence of
idealism the wisdom of the world is a
necessary wisdom. Goethe (although
not by any means an exampic to be
held up to young men) was wise"
when he did not allow his youthful
love for Frederika Bremer, the coun
try pirson's daughter, to lead him into
marriage with her. He realized, per
haps, with the intuition of genius,
that love can nevpr make up for the
absence of intellectual sympathy be
tween a man and a woman. Men who.
are not Goethes marry at 21 or 22 the
object of boyish love, only to find, as
they mature, that the wife, by her lim
itations, can be a housekeeper, but
never a friend.
This dees not imply that men do not
marry rashly after 30, but that they are
less likely to marry solely because
they happen to be "in love," a sopho
morlc experience which has never
known to occur more than once to tho
samo person. N. Y. Commercial Ad

There was a new baby in the family
a funny, little helpless crc3ture that
five-year-old Myra and three-year-old
Burlon admired with a condescending
wonder. That mamma sat all day in
a chair in the room with the baby, and
did not wander all over the house, as
was her custom, they also learned as a
surprising fact, to which thev soon be
came accustomed. They liked, how
ever to play in the room with mamma
and the new baby, and they were not
always quiet "Children," said mam
ma, one day when they had been more
than usually noisy and she was tired,
"if you are not more quiet I shall
punish you." Myra regarded her
mother some time from across the
room with a thoughtful air. Then sho
turned back to her play an 1 to her

The Singing hliad.
A reader of the Republic residing at
Bcntonvillc, Ark., writes as follows:
"I read your 'note' on 'vocal fishes' in
Notes for tho Curious on September 12
and wish to say that along the coast of
Florida and Georgia I have often heard
the musical notes of what the old fish
ermen call the 'singing shad.' They
differ from the common shade in being
smaller and also in the formation of
their mouths. Their singing is pleas
ant at first but soon grows monoto
nous, owing to tho fact that it is a con
stant repetition of the same sounds."

"And who is your favorite poet?"

Then he ran. He feared that sho
might want to sing to him. Cleveland
