ENGLISH ENGAGEMENTS.

Engagement Season.

Why British Maidens Strive to PrOlong the
Engagement Season.
English girls seldom marry before the
age of twenty-five or twenty-three.
Some marry we'll at the age of thirty.
A marriage in England is not arranged
in few days, or even in few months.
A young man Of about twenty engages
himself to a young lady of, say. eighteen,
and the lovers remain engaged for three,
or even five. years. These are the wo-
mans good times. During the engage
ment she enjoys almost all the sweets
of married life without any of its
troubles, and she is free. Sometimes
she does her best to make the engage
ment last as long as possible. She pre-
fers to murmur words of love to her be-
trothed to shutting herself up with hi m
in some semi-detached cottage wherein

butter and coal. On the day she is
married she is settled, as they say in
England; that means she is established.

think, on the contrary, she can enter it
with more confidence than can her sis

my. Women in Englapd know nothing
at all about their husbands business,
no more than clerk knows about the
private affairs of his employer; and it is
even difficult matter for her to. say
whether he is making fortune or on the
verge of bankruptcy. When her hus-
band dies an Englishwoman who has no
fortune may become gOverness. a
housekeeper, or nurse. That is ser
vitude. An Englishman gives his wife so
much a month for household expenses,
andso much for her wardrobe-her wages
as it were. She evinces no surprise
when she learns one fine morning that
her husband is taking her to sumptu-
GUS abode, nor when she learns that
they must move some evening in the
dark without making any noise. She

SALMON CANNING.

How George Francis Train Started Ore.
CONS Great Industry.
The salmon catching industry in Ore
gon is attributed altogether to a sugges-
ton of that queer genius, George Fran
els Train. Some years ago Train was
to deliver a lecture in Portland, and in
the afternoon before he was to speak en-
gagged in salmon fishing. He met with
great success, and was amazed at the
quantity of the great fish in the river.
He could talk of nothing else, and beg.
ged the lecture committee which had
engaged him to allow . substitution Of
salmon for the subject of his address in
place of the one announced. This the
committee would not agree to, and
Train began the speech announced in
the advertisements. He got along
very well for half an hour OF
so, and then the attraction of the
theme uppermost in his mind proved
too much for him. He left his original
subject and began to talk about salmon.
He drew 3 salmon on the blackboard;
he declared that the people before him
were neglectins a mine of wealth close
beside them; he told them that they
ought 10 begin salmon canning at once;
that it was the coming great industry Of
the region; and that if they did not
move quickly in the matter others would
come in and seize the prize. He be-
came eloquent, and the lecture ended in
a grand, wOrdy panorama showing .
salmon-colOred future for the country.
One or two men in the audience. though
discounting Trains prophecies. were
impressed with his ideas. and resolved
to carry them out in q practical way.
They organized company, and the
salmon-canning industry was begun

THE DUBIOUS MAN.

Positive Conviction Thing to be Coveted
BY Young Men.
Ny son. if you can be positive am
glad of it. like to see man positive
that he knows what he knows. l am
glad to hear you talk as though you
knew all about it. I do admire q posi-
tive character. Alas. therein do lack.
1 am not skeptical, but am not posi-
tive man. I am not really positive
about scarcely anything. l have been
taught from childhood that two and two
make four, and I believe it, but if you
rush at me and cross-question me and
corner me about it, will have to own
up that all l know about it is what the
teacher told me. l don't think my
teacher would lie about little thing
like that. If it were q question of mil
lions now. there might be some tempta-
ton to slip in q thousand or two on .
poor ignorant fellow who didn't know
anything about it. I am not positive
when America was discovered nor who
discovered it. There are claimants all
the way from the lost tribes Of Israel
and Eric the Red down to Oscar Wilde.
How am l to know? l am not even
positive when ] will pay my debts. And
this grievous lack of positiveness lis
there such q worldly makes me dread
controversy. I had rather give in to
q positive man o week than dis
pute with him ten minutes, be-
cause he is positive about every
thing and l am positive in nothing.
Why, even after he has silenced me l
am not positive that he is in the right.
l am not even positive that he is posi-
tive. He says he is, but don't know.
So wait-I am very patient. and often
it happens, may say it always happens.

WINGED now. YOU pig headed old colossus
of ignorance and presumption? The
next time l tell you y thing is SO you'll
know that it is SO, whether it is or not.
That's triumph for you, my boy. But

of positive conviction. Do you Guilt
vate positive character, my son. And
when you know it about all come down

KISS THE BABY.

The following poem, written for the Detroit
Fro Press by Mrs. NJ. L. Rayne, has been sci
TO music, and promises to become popular
song:
Don't forget to kiss the baby
Ere you hasten on your way;
IT'S a trifie to remember,
But twill brighten all your day.
1t will linger in your presence
To encourage and to bless,
And you'll wonder at the magic
In babys soft caress.
Don't forget to kiss the baby
Where the laughing dimples grow;
Cheek or chin, or pearly lashes,
Whence the fearful dew drops flow.
Wrestle with the little darling,
For its blessing as of old
Jacob wrestled with the angel,
Nor will it the gift Withhold.
Don't forget to kiss the baby,
Heed those little pleading hands;
Give IL of loves dainty service
All the food its sou demands.
All time will not always linger,
Baby hood is but a span,
Years may change or death may hover,
Kiss the baby while you can.
REFRAIN.
Don't forget to kiss the baby,
Life is full of toll and fret:
Take the sweet before the bitter,
Don't forget; don't forget.
