Germany is ahead in novelties of a charitable nature. In the town of I-l‘aschmann prizes are offered yearly for the men who will marry the ugliâ€" est and most ‘crippled women, and for the women over forty years who have qeen jilted at least twice. The money was left by a big financier, who, realizing that beauty is an at- traction hard to overcome, made a provision in his will that out of the income of the fund not less than $80 shall go With the ugliest girl in any year, and the cripple shall receive $60. The poor women over forty who have been jilfzed by a lover reâ€" ceive, when the funds permit, $50 each, but the trustee can vary this amount, and, at his own discretion, offer a larger prize to someone who will marry an unusually ugly girl, or one to whom Nature has been speci- ally unkind. 45,â€"..â€" lfARD DYING MULE.
