An Association is being formed in Berlin of marriageable ladies desirous of protecting themselves against improvident and unhappy unions, The Association will do itebestto investigate the social, moral, and financial condition ot any gentleman proposing marriage to a member, and decide whether his offer should be accepted. One of the biggest women on record "has died in Paris. She vras known as the “ Phenomenal Female,” her real name being Yictorie Tautin, and her age only nineteen. Mdlle. Tautin was not a giantess in height, but her girth was enormous, and it took eight strong men to lift her out of her chair when she used to he conveyed for exhibition to a music hall. The individual who engaged her found that she did not pay her expenses, owing to the coat entailed by her transit to and from the cafe concert; so Yictorie retired from public life and lived quietly with her parents. Lately she had an attack of erysipelas, to which she succumbed. Her funeral was the event of the day in the suburban locality wherein she resided, and great interest was manifested by the neighbours in watching the preparations for the burial of the poor “ Phenomenon,” whose remains were carried to the hearse, and afterwards to the grave, on the shoulders of ten of the most robust men in the employ of the Company of Metropolitan Undertakers,
