German ENGAGEMENTS.

The German customs and ceremonies at
tending betrothal and marriage differ widely
from ours. Prior to verlobung, or betrothal
the inter course of young unmarried people
can, as rule, only take place in the presence
or by the express consent of their parents
and German ladies have often explained to
me their astonishment that in America. as
they have heard, young ladies not betrothed
were permitted to receive and accompany
young gentlemen without parental attend
ance. Eetrothal, indeed, is often the first
stage of real acquaintance, the intercourse of
the cont acting parties before that being of
comparatively formal character The YER
lobung S generally considered more i'm
portant act than the trauung, or marriage
and the breaking off of an engagement causes
more scandal than divorce. After engage
ment, the parties engaged are braut and
brautigam, but cease to be such after mar
riage Once engaged they may accompany
each other when and where they like, and on
social oc casions are treated much the same as
husband and wife.-Magazine of American
History

/ have pursued my studies of labor in Can
ton largely in company with Consul Sey-
mour, and went yesterday to see the -four
ing mills which here compete with our
MinneaI oils millers. They consisted of q
series of mill stones, one lying above another
and two constituting q mill; the motive
power was a water buffalo, the ugliest species
of cow chat God ever made, and the driver
was half naked coolie. A dozen of these
buffaloe5 and coolies and two dozen stones
made up the big establishment we visited,
and it s in this way that a greater part of
Canton's flour is ground. The rudest Of ma
chinery only is permitted in China. The
people viii not allow steamboats, to go on the
rivers Ia the interior, except in those places
laid down in the treaties, and the small cargo
boats which do the trade Of the canals have
paddle wheels which are turned by gangs of
men, ani the other boats are moved by oars
and sails Any one in travelling through
China can perceive the ignorance Of the peo-
pie as 10 labor saving appliances, and the
learned DR.. Macgowan, who has lived in
China for nearly half century and to whom
l am indebted for many Of the figures and
facts of this letter, tells me that q free press
would dc more than anything else to bring
the cot ntry to an acceptance Of the best
things in our western civilization. Frank G.

Woman's Works in Fiction.

1t is women who write most of the English
and American novels, though men still ply
that industry, and it is women who are most
popular in their novels. What has sold SO
well as Uncle Tomr' Who in France was
read so Inuch as George Sand! or in England
as Charlotte Bronte and George Eliot? or in
Sweden rs Fredrika Bremerl or in America
as Miss Alcott, or now in all countries as
Mrs Ward! No wonder that these great
successes and many others that could be
named Tempt women to write many poor
novels and some good ones, the majority be-
ing mediocre, however, or neither good nor
had. But mediocrity in a novel is now
much higher in quality than it used to be-

A lady friend of mine has for several
years been troubled with bumps and
pimples on her face and neck. for which
she used various cosmetics in order to
remove them and beautify and improve
her complexion, but these local applica-
tions were only temporary and left her
skin in worse condition.

Romantic Story of Clara Morris Lea

Romantic Story of Clara Morris Lean
from Obscurity Into Prominence
John w. Norton, in the St Louis Globe
Democrat, says: The appearance of Miss Clara
motifs, the greatest living emotional actress.
In st. Louis this week is my excuse for telling
the rom intic story of her miraculous bound
In single night from the obscurity of a
minor member of the DAILY stock company in
New York to the pinnacle of fame, 1t was
after Miss Morris had closed her enpaeenents
at Cine innati, where she had been Success
sively leading lady Of Macauley's Woods
Iheatre company and Bob Miles company at
the old National, that secured her an engage
ment with Daly's company, in September.
1910 They were on the eve of producing a
dramatization of Wilkie Collins Man and
"lie, and Agnes Ethel, who was then the
relgnlne New York favorite, was cast for the
intense and trying role of Annie Sylvester.
Miss Morris had assigned her very small
part, with perhaps a dozen lines She was
much aggrieved thereat, and was thinking
seriously OF canceling her engagement and
accepting an engagement at New Orleans.
Then here occurred an accident that was
the turning point in her life Agnes Ethel.

possibilities of the role assigned her. 1t was
impossible to go on, and DAILY, in despair. ap-
pealed to one after the other of the ladies of
the com pany to assume the part, but they all
evaded accepting it, until, in despair, DAILY
asked Miss Morris would she try it. He in
tended TO fake" through the week and then
change the bill. No announcement was made
of the change, and when an immense audi
ence gathered on the opening night there was
great d satisfaction because Agnes Ethel
was not in the cast, and there were demands
for return of admission money at the box
office
The unknown girl came on and not a hand
was heard. All the other members of the
COMPANY had received the usual first night
greeting. The minutes went on and Miss
Morris Lad done nothing to attract attention.
until at asst her opportunity came in a single
brief, lnipassoned scene with her recreant
lover, Godfrey. The audience was dazed for
a moment but as the curtain fell they awoke
to such storm of applause as had never be-
fore been heard within those walls. The
blushine, timid genius, who had arisen from
sick bed to make this effort to demand rec
ognltion at the hands of u New York audi
ence, was called before the curtain four
times and her progress through the play was
an ovation. The next day the town rung
with praises of the new Cushman from the
west, and Clara Morris had taken the place
at the head of her profession in her line of
acting, which she has held undisputed ever
since

/ Licenses Kick Up q Rumpus.

The list of licenses published last even
i1gt took many people bysurprise. Some
nRe fchants object to them very strongly.
MhSy say that in the east licenses are as
soeIated with police supervision and that
tiB degrading to business houses to be
ia0tiected to them. They say that the ex
AMPLE of Helena and Benton should not
count, because this city will be largely
peopled by eastern people and should
make "new departure in taxation as
sin nother things. The opposition even ex-
toalls to territorial licenses and it is pro-
0led to ask the legislature to take that
into account. 1t is urged, in kindly spir-
tthat licenses will tend to repel business
men who might pay the same amount Of
tSxes in any other form without grum-
bling. They contend that tht taxes are
Institutional inasmuch as an Ameri-
can citizen has the right to earn an hon
sest living anywhere without let or hind
rance from local authorities, who, If they
saW fit, might impose licenses that would
exclude new houses, as well as profes-
$si0nal men, who at the start might have no
money to spare for the purpose Of llcen-
~: Licenses have few or no defenders
1tissaid that the people would pay near
the like amount in any other form Of
taxation, and that licenses reach some
people who would pay nothing if they
were not imposed. Grave inequalities
\ are also pointed out. Thus, territorial
banks, such as the Bank Of Great Falls,
spey $40 per quarter, while national banks
aIs exempt, being federal institutions.
Bs4Ae latter, OF course, pay taxes to the
Untted States, from which Montana banks
4 IN exempt, but it is claimed that in local
matters all should be on the same foot
inG. The city fathers should hear and ex-
anime all complaints and redress them.
