What is the ' real groulnd of this insistence it is dif- ‘ficult to say. It cannot lie wholly in the different mental constitutions of men and women, for that difference is not sufficient; to warrant so sweepâ€" ing a. charge. There are many women who rival men in their knowledge of 'mathematics, and who know perfect- ,ly well that a. supply of blank checks ‘ does not indicate a balance in the bank. i There are many. also, who do transact l i busineSS quite as successfully as do men who have not originally been trained to it. Look at the successful keepers of. boarding- houses, at the milliners and dressmakers, the proprietors of select schools, etc. In many of the larger stores in this country the heads of spa- the cashiers and bookkeepers, are women. and are said to be qulite as assiduous in their duties .quite as competent and more honest) lcial departments. lthan the majority of men. In Europe ’ half of the occupants of such positions ,are women. It cannot be charged, moreover, that; .women are less desirous of accumula- ll flan-than men. nor that they have any .special repugnance to moneyâ€"getting :by methods which do not: distinctly lower their social caste. As a rule, 1 they are quite aseoonomical as are men. Jand they often display a capacity for “he care of property, or at least for 'holding on toit, unequalled by men. iStatistics show that there are fewer { failures among women engaged in bus- .‘Lness than among men, which shows lthat they are more careful and less ‘ willing be take risks The fact is that unless her instincts are interfered with by her affectionâ€"for women have ,an incurable disposition to trust those jwhom they [likeâ€"a Woman is, nine times ;out of tens. better guardian of property than a. man. She is more, timid and [therefore more suspicious and cautious, her caution often amounting to a fevâ€" er of anxiety as to possible consequâ€" ences. In investments she loolks to pre- venting losses rather than to making Iprofits, and prefers four per cent. in- ]ferest with. absolute safety, to six per ‘cent. with any risk. She is always ‘scenting possible disaster, and will not recognize any margin between perfect safety and danger. It is this different business view~point that often makes her a. better guardian of preperty than the man. . Again, in the matter of thrift, which is as much a business quality as mak- ing gain, the woman is far ahead oil the man. She may be deficient in arith- metic, as the man declares she is, and unable to foot up a column of figures three times in succession with the same result. But all the same. she does keep an account of her expenditures through the year, while the man's resolution to do so goes to smash three weeks after New Year's day. And though she may habitually postpone adding up her no counts, she knows instinctively that she is keeping well within limits. She has had charge of household finance'for generations, the habit. has come down from mother to daughter, until stewâ€" ardship has become a. second nature to Iher. She inststs on getting a fair val- iue for expenditures, will beat. down the shopkeeper in a. way the weaker man could not bring himself to do, and Will go or send all over town in order to save five cents on some article of constant consumption. Indeed, it is difficult to write calmly upon this lphase of feminine finance. In the majority of cases the man gives the woman absolute control of the houseâ€" hold expenditure, and in doing so throws upon her in very large degree responsrbiltty 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 the manner in which saving can best be_effected.. Yet year after year ’he quietly deposits in banlk the results of the Woman's thrift, while jeering at her ludk of business capac- ity. (He really believes that. he made the money. and that if it had not been for his firm grasp on it, the woman would have spent it all. And, more Singular‘still, this woman seems inclin- ed to flunk so Mgr. thich is only an- other illustratieg; of the magnanimity of women. and the foolish way in which they pamper their husbands. But some men must know which is the real business artner in the do- mestic concern. an one wonders why knowxng it. they still keep up the old cry about women's ignorance of finance. iWhy do they habitually .re- fuse in making their wills to name their wives, whom they have all their lives held responsible for their sav- ings, as executors of their estates? Why do lawyers \vlhio consult Lbeizr‘ own Wives about their investments and who take their advice so constant; ly warn their clients against leaving their property in the undisputed con- trol of a. woman? “may are our laws about property no rigidly drawn to prevent women from dissipating- pro- perty? \Ve refuse to believe that it Ls simply because women have a habit: of losing their pocketbooks. and so initial; perforce: be so negligent and. imprudent that they are incapable of properly taking care of anything. It Ls true that they do lose their pocket- .‘men arises from the knowledge books. that they insist upon putting their loose change in these books. and than carrying them in their hands. But Consider that. they have no othcr way to.carry them. not being supâ€" plied With pockets like a. man, that they must ay them down at tune»~ and lflml they cannot always remember to take them up again. Were men simâ€" ilarly pockctless they would [use their money, too. and, We suspect do often lose it, but, without saying anything about it. Ln fact, much of their fine scorn out the innate imprudcnw of wio- that they are not much better in this re- spect themselves. The answer to the query must. then be. looked for elsewhere. and will be found. we think. partly in the exâ€" cessive cautionI of women, partly in 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 secure. but to increase for the benefit of their heirs, and the timidâ€" ity and caution of women constantly prompt them to make investments wutlh a. view to the avoidance of losses rat-her than to accumulation. They have become so acclistomed in house- hold expenditure to giving an account of fibre money committed to them. that tlhley cannot rid themselves of the hamâ€" pering effect of tshlc. feeling. and so inâ€" clinle to wrap their talent in a napkin if only it is secure. Again, when they are tempted to invest for profit.'t‘ltey do so from akind of sex intuition. rather than from reason, or from a woman's reason ~â€" lbecause; and. they sure from the same tm'- pulse very likely to turn back just when success might be achieved. Last- ly. a woman is always succeptible to attack by some one through her af- fections, and can never quite bring her- self to believe 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 women should be taught at least the rudimentary principles of finance in the course of their educa- tion. There is no sense in a system which makes a. knowledge of astron- omy rmuisite to a complete education, but which leaves girls ignorant of the commonest matters relating to the business use of money. But when that is done, We fear that woman will still be open to attack on her weakest Hide, and that her affection, which makes her the best possible guardian of the forâ€" tune which her husband is accumulatâ€" Ing, will always tend to make her an finalist/worthy custodian of it after his ea . .____...___._. TURKEY'S WAR INDEMNITY. Some or the lleavy Pecuniary Tributes of Modern Times Imposed by the Victor». Turkey‘s original demand was for £Tl0.000,000. but now may reduce it to $15,000,000. The heaviest war indem- nity of modern times was. of course, that; paid by France at the close of the war with Germany. The hostilities last- ed over eight months. and the total cost of the war has been estimated at £315,000.000 and 290,000 men. The Ger- macn loss was set; down at 45,000 men. who either were killed in battle or died of wounds or sickness. Besides the ces- sion of Alsace and Lorraine. France had to pay Germany five milliards of francs, £200,000,000, in instalments which were allowed to extend over three years. The original demand of Germany was six milliards. or £40,000.- 000 more. Thlers 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 cost olf the Russo-Turkish war of 1877 has been estimated at about 39190000000 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 Ports admitted itself indebt- ed to Russia in the sulm of 1,410,000,000 rubles, about 381450001100. as indem- nity for the losses and expenses of the war. The items in the account were as follows :-900,000.000 rubles, £92,000,000, for war expenses, 400,000,000, rubles, £41,000,000, folr damage done to the south coast of RuSsia, her expert com~ merce, industries and railways; 100.000,- 000, £11.000,000, for injuries caused by the invasion of the Caucasus. and 10.â€" 000,000, £1,000,000 for injuries suffered by Russian subjects and establishments in Turkey. In accordance with the Sulâ€" tan's wishes. however. and in consider- ation of the financial embarrassments of the Ottoman Empire, the Czar mag- nanimously and wisely consented to aer- cept in substitution folr about four- fifths of the total sulm the various ter- ritorial ce-ssions sanctioned by the Trea- ty of Berlin. This left a balance of 300.- 000.000 rlubles due to Russia by Tur- key. and with the exception of some 17,000,000 rubles the indemnity is ow- ing still. the amount in October. 1889, being nearly £31,000.000. ‘ THEIR.

The Bench and the Bar Arc Responsible for Many of 'l'ltt‘m. Liout. Col. Dulbiat‘, Erna Stflnxec‘valive member in the present- British R‘ouse of Commons for Central b‘inslmi‘y, has just presented to the public an exceln lent “Dictionary of Quotations.” bu Which he has. been at work for upward of five years. Reference to chapter and verse for eat'lll quotation has been given. and a glance at the index of authors will prowl in a way that is at once convincing and gratifying how largely llm members of the bar and of the judicial bench have contributed to the authorship of the famous phrases which have become familiar in our mouths as household words. Sir Edward Coke and Blackstone are highly technical writers, bud Col. Dulâ€" biat: has successfully laid both the "Third Institution" and: the "Commem- taries" under contribution. To Coke We! owe the. familiar expression, “A man's house is his castle," while Blackstone gives us flue uelleknowu axiom, “Man was formed for society." Lord Bacon, who had "chosen all knowledge for hi..- province," is as might beantil‘ipa tell, the author of many faulâ€" iliar quotations. Hare) are a few: “A: crowd is not company. and faces are but a. gallery of pimtutres. and talk but a tinkling cymbal where there is no love." "A main in. bull what he knowcth." “A. man's disposition is never known till he be crOssed.” "Children sweeten lab- ors. but they make misfortunes more bitter they increase the cares of life, but they mtttgrate the remembrance of death." "Discretion of Speech is more than eloquence." “He that bath a. Wife and children hath given hostages to fortune. for they are impediments to greaten‘terprilses, either of virtue or mlHChlef.” "Knowledge is power." ‘ Lookersâ€"on many times see more than the gameslers." “One. foul sentence doth more. hutrt than many foul ex~ ample-s." "Praise is the reflection of virtue." "Reading maket‘h a. full man. conference a ready man, and writing an exact man.” “Some books are to be be tested, others are to be swallowed. and some few are to be chewed and di- gested.” “The knowledge of man is as the waters, some demanding from above and some springing from beneath, the one informed by the light of nature and the. other inspired by divine reve- lation]: “The mold of a man’s future is m. hls own hands." “The remedy is Worse than the disease.” “There is no- thing makes a man suspect more than to know little." "\l'iVes are young men's mistresses. companions for middle age and old men's nurses." J olin Solden is. the author of the im- mortal sayings, “Old friends are best," and “Syllables govern the world,"while Jeremy Bentham. the eminent judicial writer of the present centuu‘y. has giv- en to up: “It is the. greatest good to the greatest number which is the meas- ure of right and wrong." The saying “When roulghs fall out: honest men get their own" fell from the lips of Sir M. Hale, when sitting on the judicial bench, and the saying. “The greater the truth the greater the libel," was first uttered by Lord Mansâ€" field in his capactty of Chief Justice of England. Lord Brougham. speaking in the House of Commons. in 1828, first gave utterance to the saying. “The schoolâ€" master is abroad." The full paragraph of the speech ruins thus: "The school< master is abroad. amd Itrunt more to him. armed with his primer. than I do to the soldier in full military array [or upholding and extending the liberties of the coulntry.” . l Fielding, whose uluiquel knowledge of human nature was largely derived from his experience as a police magi-strata has encircled our literature by the say izng, “Love and scandal are the best sweeteners of tea."

A Light Electric Famine Invented ’l'lmt “’lll Propel Vol-Ides at "10 Rate. of Twenty Miles an Ilnur. iA perfected hol‘seless carriage, it is announced, will soon be turned out from the works of the General Electric Company. in Lynn. Mass. The experts at the factory, ivncludilnzg‘ Profs. Thomson and Lamp. have been experimenting for several years on an electric motor to propel carriages ov- er streets. The experiments have been conducted with great secrecy and in a separate temporary bui-ldilng. Visitors were never allowed to enter. ( The motors will be placed on the rear axle of the wagons and, based on the experiments already made, it is as- serted that a speed of twenty miles an hour can be maintained. The motor will be run by star 6 'batteries, and in this connection anot - er valuable invention has been made. It is said that the expert electricians have discovered a method of storing the electricity, whereby the enormous weight of the batteries heretofore used is done away will). and in its place are ‘substituted a. few cells, stored with a. great amount of electricity. These cells are very light. and their added weight will necessitate but sllglll‘ ad- dition to the strength of an ordinary carriage. . The motor itself weighs but little.
