Lessons I'm n aternaI Care.

The household department OF Our CONT
nent is edited by Helen Campbell, whose
words of advice and suggestion are always
golden, timely, and filled with wisdom. In
a late article upon Mothers and Daughters"
she says: Evening classes for women and
girls ambitious for self-improvement, yet too
busily occupied during the day to seek it
through the usual channels, have been for
some years part of the work of the New
Century Club of Philadelphis, an organiza-
ton which has sounded no trumpeis, but has
done steady and untiring work toward the
real advancement of woman since the hour
of its inception. To one of the chief workers
in this direction came q year ago the thought
of a course Of evening lessons On The physi-
ology and hygiene OF daily lie, 80 simply
put as to be perfectly intelligible to working
women, vet given by the best medical au-
thorities. There resulted fualy lectures on
not only those topics, but on nursing, the
care of a child from its birth and the neces-
sary action in case of sudden illness or acct
| dent. The hall, the entrance Zee TO which
was fixed al i've cents, was filed
with working women of all grades
of intelligence, who Listened with
an almost painful intensity 70 directions
which no human being had ever thought il
necessary or expedient TO give them. Mau-
nikins and various other mods OF iIlustra-
ton were freely used, and ssthe audience
passed out from the lecture IN the care of

mr. Merrick Ready 20 proceed.

WASHINGTON, November 3O.-Mr. Mer.
rick said to a Star reporter Tuesday that the
Star-route trial would certainly go ahead
next Monday. "There is nothing that
know Of" he said, "to delay it."
"May not the defendants cause delay az
they did before the last trial?" asked the
reporter.

rick; 81 don't know what expedient the de
Tense may adopt"
"Are Eot all the questions raised about
the indictment at the last trial considered
settled, so far as this trial is concerned?'
asked the reporter.
Il do not know what the Court will do"
said Mr. Merrick. "The Court has power 10
reconsider its action"

asked the reporter.

Mr.. Merrick; "all there is to say is that they
have been dismissed. All / know is thai

American Judgments of LaBEtry.

The criticisms passed by the leading jour-
mails of New York on Mrs. Langtry's imper-
sonation of "Rosalind," as telegrsphed to Us
last week by our correspondent in that city,
says the London Standard, will probably
strike people on this side of the Atlantic,
who have grown accustomed 10 hear rheat-
ricai critics 'just hint fault and hesitate
dislike" being admirably candid and
ouLspoken. One journal plainly affirms
that a weaker performance was never SEEM
Another declares that it is more imperfect
even than the most friendly spectator could
have imagined possible. A third newspaper
describes il as "hopelessly incompetent" aud
"exasperating," while, finally, a vet more
candid critic prouounces it TO be wanting
alike in genuineness, versatility, and brill
lance, and 20 be at once mechanical and
hammered. "Hester" showed the actress to be
without talent, and "Rosa lind" without prom
| ise." Obviously, whether the judgments
thus severely formulated be correct or not,
there is here no mincipg matters, no am
blgulty in the censure, no hesitation in The
verdict. We have a strong idea tn at a great
| many persons who have never been to Amer
lea, but who saw Mrs. Langtry on the stage
before she went there, would be unable
to deny that they feel there is
| substantial truth in this merciless con-
demuatiou. Yet did they ever utter it them
| selves? On the contrary, when this mere
novice appeared on the boards of one of the
most celebrated theaters in parts that ought
| 10 be attempted only by an expert, were they
not among the first either to suggest that her
acting was marvelously good, Considering
the circumstances" or TO deprecate the ap-
| plication, in this particular instance, of the
ordinary canons of criticism and the ordi-
nary scales of praise and blame?> II any
one takes the trouble 10 turn to the files OF
| most OF the London newspapers at the time
| that Mrs. Langtry appeared among us in the
| character OF an actress, they will find that
| the critics either discovered in her a rare
! aptitude for the stage, or suggested their
doubts upon the subject in so ambiguous and
roundabout fashion that the person criti-
| cised might easily persuade herself that she
| only required little practice to become one
OF the great mimetic artists of the sge. There
was no honest speaking out, no fearless ex-
preston OF conscientious disappointment and
disapprobation, such as we have quoted from
American newspapers. In society one heard
a certain number of persons protest against
the intrusion of an amateur of no special
gifts save of the physical kind upon the Eu-
glish boards; but they were few and far be-
| tween, and printed criticism lent them no
support; on the contrary, it rather came 10
the aid of those who declared that, given a
little more time, Mrs. Kendall might meet her
match and Miss Terry find rival.

L Fashionable Wedding I'm Queen
Anne's Time.

Ashton says that in Queen Anne's time
fashionable weddings were 30 expensive that
it became customary for persons OF modest
incomes to marry privately, and this custom
led 10 great number of illicit and illegal
marriages. The people OF the middle class
we're so averse to public weddings that they
were most often married in sludiously plain
attire.
"John Bridmore and Anne Sellwood, both
of Chiltern, All Saints, were married Octo-
Der II, IVA. The aforesaid Anne Sellwood
was married in her Smock, without any
Clothes or Head Gier on" Bot when
grand wedding was publicly celebrated it
was boiserous occasion. Old Missions
description of such one before bridal tours
were fashionable is worth republishing, es-
pecially since the same fashion now prevails
in certain parts of Western New York:
when Bedtime is come the Bridemen pull
off the Brides Carriers, which she had before
unty'd that they might hang down, and so
prevent Curious Hand coming too near her
knee. This done, and the Carriers being fas-
tened to the Hats of the Gsllsnts, the Bride
maids carry the Bride into the Bed-chamber,
where they undress her and lay in Bed. The
Bridegroom, who by the Help of his Friends
is undress'd in some other Room, comes in
his Night-gewn as soon as possible to his
Spouse, who is surrounded by Mother, Aunt,
Sisters and Friends and without any further
Ceremony gets into bed. Some OF the women
run away, others remain, and the Moment
afterwards they are all got together again.
The Bridemen Take the Brides Stockings,
aud the Bridemsids the backgrounds; both
sit down at the Beds Feet and fling the
Stockings over their heads, endeavoring 10
direct them so as that they may fall upon
| the marry'd Couple. III the Mans Stockings,
thrown by the Maids, fall upon the Bride
groom's Head, it is sign she will quickly
be marry'd herself; and the same Prognoslick
holds good OF the Woman's Stockings thrown
| by The men. Oftentimes these young People
engage with one another upon the Success of
| the Stockings. tho they themselves look
upon it TO be nothing bat Sport. While some
| amu;e themselves agreeably with these little
| Follies, others are preparing good Posset,
which Is kind of Cawdle, Potion made of
Milk, Wine, Yolk of Eggs, Sugar, Cinnamon,
Nutmeg, etc. This they present to the young
! Couple, who swallow it down ss fast as they
| can to ge; rid of so Troublesome Company;
| the Bridegroom prays, scolds, inlreats them
| to be gone, and the Bride says meier Word,
but thinks the more. Ii they obstiuately
continue to retard the Accomplishment Of
their Wishes, the Bridegroom jumps up in
