Tho rich do not wed ; Ihey buy part- ners." Such Is the sweeping Tviiiark made hy 1'rofes.sor John Graham Brooks, the llarvard idslructor, wIk) wrote "Social Ltirest," und who hus now set all New York by the ears by saying various scathing things about Iho connection between luarriago and money. One of them is that "a ricli woman can buy a man next to Iho kingâ€" his grace the gartered Dukeâ€" as she svould a bit of blue ribbon over the roun cr," and another that .she can "buy a Urd, or a whole .shoal of dapper cowits and seedy biiroiLs, und get into .society." Ho go&s on to say things much mor« fculliing alxiul tho power the moneyed inaji has with women, "bccuu.so money ha< the singular power of purcha-sing anything a man wants. .Money lias come In to disturb tlio ennobled passion of love." Opinion In England as to tho tnilh ot PrcjftRsor Iiro<-)ks' retnarks seems to be pretty equally divided. ClIARACllin FROM LIFE. "1 must say I e.grec with the Am^eri- cans," said Mr. Horace Wyiidham, whose latest novel, "Heginald AiibcTOn, thi- Autobiography ot a Selfish Man," was roviewc<l the other day in the Lon- don Daily Mirror. "It Ls tho appalling lark of mmanco in tho prcscnl-day courtships thai giivo mo the ground- work for 'Meginuld Auberon.' In thai b<"/)k there are three 'money' marriages; that ol the heroine, and tho two mar- riages of the hero {if one may so dignify him), who allows hintselt tip go \i the liighest l;;dder. He is for sale thrcugh- •lut tho entire volume, and I may as well Bay, In my own defence, that I lo<ik the charact<M' from real life." Mi.ss Ulioda Brouglilon, than whom there was no more popular story teller It our youlhltrl days, nuiintains, how- ever, thuL there i.s no more buying and Mllmg in the marriage market l<j-day Ihan there was when she giive u.s "Hod IIS a Hose Is She" and "(i<xid-bye, Swoet- hearl, (Kiod-bye," as typical epi.sodos of tl\e life around us. "Of course tlioro are Instances hero nnil there of a man or a woman marry- Jng for money," she said, "but If you take Lnglish people, at any rale, I airi Cfrtam you v\ill find more niiirriHges out (f pure affection than for any suidid reason. , WOnSF, I.\ Uf'PF.R CLASSES.

Again ; "I'herc is a great deul of truth in l*it)fe.s.sol' Brooks' condetnnn- tion," a Ivoiidon West End clergyman said. "I am at times called ui>on lo ofll- ciale ill ceremonies which are pracliciilly notluiig inore thiin the surrender of yullifiil loveliness tor gold, or the pur- chase ol money with a title.

"I iim thankful to sav Ihiil these re- marks do nut apply to tho East F.nd of London," .siiid a liethnal (iivon mission- ary. "Wo may have separation orders, desertions, ap()euls, summonses for nuelty, but we have no buying und sell- ing in our marriages." HAIL NOT DlSSIl-ATEn DY GUNS.

When Vessel Went Down She Had 82,500,000 on Board-8500,000 Recovered. The latest Invention is a submarine f<r salving wiwks. and it will be used m an attempt lo salve II. M. S. Lutine, which was wreckrd off Terschelling Is- land, on the coast of Holland, In 1799. "The submarine is filled with a spe- ciaL internal apparatus," says J. Gur- nor Flood, of Ixmdon, England, who will bo engaged In the work. "It has regulators, by the aid of which the op- erator can control tho pressure of the aie inside, and so make it the same as lliat of the water. The bottom can then he opened with perfect safety, and the wreck examined with ease. "I have just returned from the wreck and I thhik that vvc shall be success- ful in our efforts. IT IS WELL MAI^KED, and is guarded by the local authorities. "There are, naturally, many difTicul- lios lo be overcome, one of the greatast Iting the conlinuul shifting of the sand around the vessel. At some times tho wreck is completely covered, and then <.U' work Is twice as hard. 'The Lullne now lies right in the centre of a number of dangerous sand- bunks, and some of the operations, winch have been frequent during the last century, have been attetided wilh less of life. "It is stated that when the vessel went down Ihero was bullion on tioarU to the value of $2;)00,000, but so far only $500,000 has been ivcovcred, and wo are now going to try to recover the remainder. "Unforlunalely, the weather handi- caps us Considerably, and during the v.'hole of this year we have not had one really favorable day. As can be CHsily iniaglne<l. when the .eea is rough the work is very dllllcult to carry out, and on one occasion, when an attempt wais being made with the aid of a div- inj, bell, the waves almost overturne<l it. DANGER .Vr A MINIMU.M. "With submarines the danger will be removed, but, nevertheles, on a r<:ugh day, the shoals of continimlly ni<ving san<l interfere wilh our work lo a great extent, and prevent our gel- ting (it tho wreck. "On one day, f<ir instance, the sand is all removed from alwjve the wreck, lul by the next it is fretjuenlly covered Ml again, and the work has to be be- gun all over again. "The Lutine now belongs lo Lloyd's and we have already placctl the order for the hiiildtng <if Uie necosstiry ap- paratus, so tliiil we shall begin .salv- li'M operations very shortly. 1 think they will be .successful, and that wilh llie suhniarine wo shall recover all the bullion still re.Tiulning in the hold cf l^e ship." HAVE SEAMKN LOST NERVE? Rea.son Assigned tor the Restoration of the Mast and Sail Drill. In consequcjico of rejiorls having been made to the British adniiriilly -A .soanien in .some of his Majesty's ships having rotusetl lo go aloft in rough Iweatlier, it has been decided lo rein- stii'le ttie oIU "mast and sail" system <,r iiisti'\ic'ioii in the harlwr training ships. This system was «b.:)li.shed iiboiit .sev- e'l years ago, ami .t-ith it went the old cruiser squ^adrvin, oonsisUng of ful- lyrlgged sleariiships, in which yoiilhs were sent lo sea hetoro l>eing passed oil' into 'Iho ships in the first line. The .si.iling brigs Nautilus and Liberty were also diSMiantlod. In the placo of this system a new one was inlMduced hy whi<;li boys were r.rst sent lo sen ,in the shij)S of the par- ticular senicc squadron, consisting « f llrst-cliuss armored cruisers. .Sail drill, running •aloft, and such Ihings Avere c<.n.siHiio<l to the limbo of the past, as l.iiving no place in nn age o"f steam und steel.

We have been train- int; our seamen in barracks for a gootl niiuiy years now, but a rully-rigge<l mast is to be ereijUxl In Iho grounds ot the Shfllley establishment, to 'ue fol- lowed, it is believed, by a similar molli- fication in Ihe training of youths when they pass out to sea. â- * JU.ST THE Oi'POSrVE.
