America has started a new idea. Some worthy citizens of the Great West -pro pose to found and endow a college for \ the education of- wives for tho world. VLadies who wish to reside m Paris, Rome, Milan, London, St Petersburg' even, are to be specially educated m the language, history, costumes, find cookery of the country into which one intends to try and marry. Certain* ladies, too, will be specially educated tor class marriages — as, for instance, a doctor's or a lawyer's wife. The promoters will not, it is said; go so far as to supply a wife to the King of the cnnnibnl Islands or to the Sultan ; but the idea has certainly a touch of humorous novelty about it. ,
