Elizabeth Balch, author of the much
praised replies to Prosper Merimee's
''Lettres a une Inconnue,' tells the al
most forgotten story of the boyish
quarrel between Cromwell and the little
prince whose death-warrant lie was to

One of the cleverest things in the
number is the short drama. Sir Rat
A Comedy written and illustrated by
Oliver HEREFORD. Though tiny BIT, it
is most amusing in its way. And there
are other good pieces which call for
their need of recognition, for instance,
"A Story of a Horse, by Capt c. A.
Curtis. and "A Race with a Wooden
Shoe" by Frederick f. Darlington.

The German customs and ceremonies at
tending betrothal and marriage differ widely
from ours. Prior to verlobung or betrothal,
the intercourse of young unmarried people
can, as a rule, only take place in the presence
or by the express consent of their parents,
and German ladies have often explained to
me their establishment that in America as
they have heard, young ladies not betrothed
were permitted to receive and accompany
young gentlemen without parental attend
ance Betrothal, indeed, is often the first
stage of real acquaintance, the intercourse OF
the contracting parties before that being OF
comparatively formal character. The YER
lobung is generally considered more i'm
portant act than the trauung, or marriage
and the breaking off of an engagement causes
more scandal than a 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 whore they like, and on
social occasions are treated much the same as
husband and wife.-Magazine OF American

How to Wash Windows.

There is right as well es wrong way to
wash windows. | generally choose a dull
day or such a time of day when the sun is
not shining on them, which makes them dry
streaked. Take q soft brush and dust them
well inside and outside, and wash the wood
work well with warm water and small
quantity of ammonia mixed with it before
touching the glass, and by all means never
use soap. Linen cloths are also improper
things to Use in cleaning the glass, as they
always leave a deposit Of lint. A small
chamois on pointed stick is the proper
thing to wash them with, and then wipe
them thoroughly dry with a cotton rag or
paper-St. Louis GIobe-Democrat

ever, for some reason or no reason, the queen
changed her mind, and the ukase, which
every one had by this time seen, was issued.
The fact is that the alteration Of the rules
is really step backward. Hitherto lady,
whose application TO wear a high dress
was supported by medical certificate, has
obtained permission as q matter OF course,
