In the majority of cases the man gives the woman altsolute control of the house- holil expenditure, and in doing so throws upon hier in very large degree responsibility for making or marring the fortune which he is trying to ac- cumulate. He knows little of the pet- ty details of expenditure, and nothing at all of ttie manner In which .saving can l)e.st be effecteil. Yet year after year he quietly deposits Ln bank the resulta of the woman's thrift, while jeering at l«>r laok of business capac- ity. Jle really Iwliaves that he made the money, and tj|«t if it had not tieen for his firm graan> on it, the woman would have spent it all. And, more singular still, tins woman seems inclin- ed to thinAt so fv-.»L Which is only an- other IllustratiiRb of the magnanimity of women, and the foolish way in which they pamper their husbands. But wKme men most know which is the real businet*s jMirtner in lihe do- mestic concern, and one wonders why knowing it. they .still keep up the old cry about wnnnen'.s ignorance of finaiu'e. Why da they habitually re- fuse in making their willa to name their wives, wh«im they have all their lives held resiiomeible for their sav- ings, aa executors of their estates t Why <lo laiwyeirs w|lw> oonf-iuJit their' own wives about their invest rnentiv Eund Who take theiLr advice no oonstant- ly w%ro' their clients againat leaving their property in the undisputed con-, Irol oi a woman ? Wlhy are our lawH aibout piroperty No rigidly drawn to prevent women from dlvupabting pro- l>€a"ly I We refune to believe tiat it 'm simply because women have a habit of loning their pookelHiooks, and so mAint ine.rfoir<»i 1>e so ni-jjtligent and Irajpruilenl Ihnt tluey are luoapable of properly taking rare of anytniing. It IS true tliat tliey do lo««e their pocket- their inclination to act upon instinct rather than upon reason, and partly to their liability to be deceived through the affections. As a rule, men want the property they leave not only to be seouirei, but to imareose for th* benefit of their heirs, and the tumid- ity and fcatttion of women constaintly prompt them to make investments wuth a view to the avoidance of losses rather than to accumulation. They have become so accustximed in house- hold expenditure to giving an account of the money committed to them, that they cannot rid them.selvee of the ham- pering efiect of the feeling, and so in- cline to wrap their talent in a napkin ii only it is secure. Again, w.bien they are tempted to invest for profit, they do so fi-om a kind of sex intuiticto, raither than from reason, or from a woman'.*" reatvon â€" Ibecause ; and they are frokn the .same im-- pulse very liJcely to turn back just when success might be achiev'^d. Last- ly, a woman is always susce^itible to attack by some one throujgh her af- fe<'tions,/ind can never quite bring her- self to l^lieve that the object of her af- fections will deceive her. No doubt the first two of these defects might be largely eradicated through training, and for many reasons it is eminently desirable that ^vomen should be taught at least the rudimentary principles of finance in the course of their educa- svstem FAMILIAR QUOTATIONS. rtie Beach aad Ih* Bar Are Kesponnlbts far Many of Tkem.

TURKEY S WAR INDEMNITY Nonie of Ihp Heavy Prcunlar; Tribale* af .Wedrra TImr* Impoted by Ike tirlar*. Turkey's original demand was for £T 10,000.000. but now may reduce It to £Tr),00O,0OO. The heaviest war Indem- nity of modern times was. of course, that paid by France at the clooe of the war with Germany. The hostiiitiei last- ed over eight months, and the total cost of the war has lieein estimated at £315,000,000 and 290,000 men. The Ger- man lotsH was set down at 45,000 men. who either were killed In battle or died of wounds or sickness. Besides the ces- sion of Alsaoe and Lorraine, France bad to pay Geniiany fiva milliards of francs, £ii00.000,000, in InsUlments which were allowed to extend over three years. The original demand of Germany was six milliards, or £40,000.- 000 more. Thiers strove In vain to save .Metz, but it was to his exertions that the reduction In the amount of the in- demnity was due. The itist o< the Ruaso-Turkisli war of 1877 tiae been Krtiiuated at aliout £190,(HH),U00 and 180,000 men on both sides. Between the declaration of war by Russia and the treaty of San Stefano nearly eleven months elapsed. By this treaty the Porte admitted itself indebt- ed tu Russia in the sum of 1,410,000.000 rubles, aliout £145,000.000, as indem- nity for the losses and expenses of the war. The items In the account were aa follows :-9«0,000,000 rubles. £92.000,000, for war expenses. 400,000,000, rubles, £41,000,000. for daiuiige done to the .south coast of Russia, ne.r expert com- merce, industries and railways; 100,000,- 000, £11,000,000. for injuriea caused by the invasion of the Caucasus, and 10,- 000,000. £1,000,000 for injuries suffered by ItiLssiau subjects and establishiiieuts in Turkey. In accordance with the Sul- tan's wisnee, howvvOT. and in consider- ation of the financial embarrassments of I he Ottoman Empire, the Czar mag- nanimously and wisely consented to ac- cept in substitution fdr about four- fifths of the total sum the various ter- ritorial ce.ssions sanctioned by the'lYea- ty of Berlin. This left a balance of JOO,- 000,000 rubles due to H.ussia by Ttir- kt'v. and with the exception of some 17.000.000 rubles the indemnity ia ow- ing still, the amount in O-tober, 1889, being neatly £31,000,000. gives was fo4 Lord ' be lie croeisedi ors, but they i bitter they bat they miii( of death." more than eioqil a wife and cluld| bath given hostages to fortuAe, for" â€" â€" â-  â-  THEIR DEBUTS.

'[ "The mold of a man's future Is In his own bands. I'be remedy Is wor.se than the disease. I'here la no- thing makeei a man, suspect more than to kxuny little." "Wives are young men's mistresses, companions for middle age and old uifn's nurses." John Selden is the author of the inv- mortal sayings. "Old frii^nds are l««t." and "Syllables govern the world," while Jeremy B«ntbam. the eminent judicial writer of tlie present century, has giv- en to up: "It is th«» greatest good to the greatest number which m the meas- ure of riQ^ht and wrong." The saying "When roughs fall out honest men get their own" fell from the 1(1)6 of Sir M. H^],<», when sitting on the jiulU:ial bencli, atid the saving, "The greater the truth the greater the libel," was first tittered by Lord Mans- field in his raincity of Chief Justice of England. Lord Brougham, speaking In the House of Commons, in IH'ZH, ilrst gave utteranc« to the saying, "The school- master is abroad." The full paragraph of the speech rums thus: "Ine school- niaster is abroad, and I trust more to him, armed with his primer, than I do to thb Boldiier in full military array for upholding and extending the litiertiea of the coujntry." i Fielding, whiise unique knowledge ol biuivu nature was largely derived frooi his exiieriewe as a police magistrate bos encircled our literature by the say-, ing, "Fxn'e and scandal are the beet BAveeteners of tea." Nor has the origination of well-knowa sayling lieen confineil. so far as legal circles are concerned, to those who have passe<l away. Aimustiail Birrell. Q. O., M.

' NEW MOTOR FOR WAGONS. A LlKhl Elerlrlc riiglur liivrateaThat Will Propel Vehirlr* si Ibe Bale of Twenty Nlle« â- â-  Hour, A perfected horseless carriage, it ia announced, will soon be turned out from the worlks of the General RIectrio CVxupany. ita Lynn, Mass. The experts at the factory, includiing Profs. Thamson and Lemp, have beenl ejiperimentlng for several years on aa electric motor to propel carriages ov- er streets. The experiniemts have been oonduited with gr*at secrecy and in a separate temporary bui,ldimg. Visilora were never allo>ved to enter. 1 The motors will be plaivd on the rear axle of the wagons and,' based on the experiments alrea<ly made, it is as- serted that a speed of twenty miles an hour can be maimtnined. The motor will Iw ruh by storage batteries, and in this cx>nnection anotn- er valuable itiventlon has been made. It it) said that the e.\(pert electricians have discovered a meithod of storing the electricity, whereby the enormoua weight of the Itatteries heretofore used is done away wiith and in its place are sulislituted n few cells, stored with a great amount of ele^'tricity. These cells are very light, and their added weight will necessitate but slight ad- diition to the strength of «n ordinary carriH^e. i The motor itself weighs bnt little. A gear will co»inect with the wheels of the carriage, ami the two front wheels will be so arrang»4 that they can be turned at will by the o(>erator or driv- er. Th» steeriltg attachments, con- nected with the front wheels, will be vexy simple. f ^ ^'
