Touching Glasses.

The custom among the Germans OF
touching the glasses before drinking arose
at the time of the immense medieval
banquets of the nation A glowing cup"
was passed from lip to lip, to shoe that
ell were of one mind; but the Glowing
cup" was of necessity so large as to be
unhandy. In place of this, smaller cups
and glasses were given to each, and the
tradition of the Glowing cup was pre-
served by the clicking of the glasses.
The custom of having smaller glasses for
each is said to have arisen from the assas-
sination of King Edward. 1t was then the
habit of the Anglo-Saxons to pass around
a large cup, from which each guest
drank; ne who thus drank stood up, took
the large vessel in both hands, and raised
it to his lips. As he lifted the cup his
body was exposed, and the occasion was
seized by treacherous enemies to murder
him. This danger led to the adoption of
the plan that, as one drank, his next
friend was responsible for his safety dur
ing the act, and usually arose also and
stood with drawn sword.

Marriage Among the Kaffirs.

enough, but it seems the Kafir brides
have even worse hardships to undergo.
A Kaffir having fixed his affections
upon some female, acquaints his parents
with his intentions. They apply to the
girls parents, and if the latter do not
consent to the union fight is inevita-
bic. If the parents agree, the next pro-
ceeding is to appoint two expert female
negotiators who obtain access by strate-
gem to the house, with the object of
broaching the subject to the young lady.
They carefully avoid any sudden Of
abrupt mention of the awful subject of
their mission, but launch out in praises
of the man who seeks her hand They
speak of his possessions, his courage and
accomplishments. The girl, pretending
to be affronted at these remote hints,
grows refractory and runs away, tearing
the ringlets of her hair as she retires.
The female ambassadors, having got the
consent of the parents, drag her from her
concealment and carry her by force to the
house of her destined husband and there
leave her. She is compelled to live here
several days, silent and detected, refus-
ing food, till at last, if kind entreaties
do not prevail, she is made to submit by
blows to the union. The Katfir who has
the reputation of having committed
number of murders of Mohammedans en-
joys exceptional privileges; he is re-
spected by all the neighborhood, and ex-
periences little or no difficulty in procur-
ing wife. The Kaffir woman is doomed
to life of toll and drudgery, and the
husband can discard her whenever he
feels so disposed.

The Stamp Nuisance in Me1ico.

Mexico, like France, is cursed by the
stamp nuisance. Every contract, check,
official document and receipted bill of
merchandise over $50 in amount, must
have its stamp, the value of which varies
with the amount expressed on the face of
the writing. Postage laws are simply out
rageous. Letters can come into Mexico
from the United States for two cents, or
can be sent from Mexico to the States for
FIVE cents the half ounce, but the same
letter sent to any point within the Repub-
lie costs ten cents. This is fatal to any
thing like free correspondence among the
poorer classes and it certainly cannot be
as profitable to the Government as if the
rate per letter was lower-on the princi-

Wasn't it pleasant. o brother ninel
In those old days of the lost sunshine
Of youth-when the Saturdays chores wers
through,
And the Sunday wood in the kitchen, too,
And we went visiting, I and you,
Out to old Aunt Mary's2
1t all comes back SO clear to-day
Though am as bald as you are gray
Out by the barn lot and down the lane
We patter along in the dust again,
As light as the tips of the drips of rain,
Out to old Aunt Mary's
We cross the pasture, and through the wood.
Where the old gray snag of the poplar stood,
Where the hammering red-heads hoped
away,
Ard the buzzard raised in the open sky.
And lolled and circled as he went by,
Out to cid Aunt Mary's.
And then in the dust of the road again, !
And the teams we met and the eountrymen,
And the long highways with the sunshine
spread
As thick as butter on country bread,
And our cares behind, our hearts ahead,
Out to old Aunt Mary's.
1 see her now in the open door,
Where the little gourds grew up the sides
and DER
The clapboard roof-and her face, o mel
Wasn't it good for boy to see?
And wasn't it good for a boy to be

WORDS OF WISDOM.


Don't blame the world because the
thorns are found among the roses
A sound discretion is not so much in
dictated by never making mistake as by
never repeating it.
It has been observed that the man with
the fewest failings is the man most toler-
ant of those of his neignbors.
Beware of him who meets with a
friendly mien, and in the midst of a cor
dial salutation, seeks to avoid your glance.
Although it is dangerous 10 have too
much knowledge of certain subjects, it is
still more dangerous to be totally ignor-
ant of them.
Conquer myself Till thol hast done
that, thou art slave; for it is almost as
well for thee to be in subsection to an
others appetite as thine own.
Look not mournfully into the past; it
comes not back again. Wisely improve
the present; it is thine Go forth to meet
the shadowy future without fear and a
manly heart.
Nothing hinders the constant agree
ment of people who live together but
vanity and selfshness. Let the spirit of
humanity and benevolence prevail, and
discord and disagreement would be ban
ished from the household.
Life never seems so clear and easy as
when the heart is beating faster at the
sight OF some generous, self-risking deed.
We feel no doubt then what is the highs
est prize the soul can win, and almost be-
lieve in our power to attain it.

Mrs. Harrison is busy, active woman
every minute of the day, says a Wash
ington letter to the Pittsburg Times. She
sees to every household matter demand
ing her attention, and is especially fond
of visiting the Conservatives. When
her grandchildren are here they are
always with her. Now that they are
absent she has leisure to give to her
painting, the last new books and maya
zines, the pile of daily papers and her
mail
This latter burden is not quite as great
as during the first few months of her
White House residence, but it is amarvel-
lous job yet TO get through with each
day and not allow any accumulatiOns.
She drives out often in the mornings
downtown on shopping excursions, and
goes in and out the business store with
out exciting the least attention from any
body. But generally for the shopping
expedition she takes the Office carriage
and has one of the servants to drive her,
and consequently is hardly ever recog-
nized.

MOrganatic Marriages.

In morganatic marriages the regular
ceremony is performed, except that the
man takes the woman's left hand instead
of her right. The word is very old in its
meaning. The ancient Germans used to
give to their wives, the day after the
wedding, certain limited portion of
their estates. This was the morgen- gabe
In course of time it came to be that only
inferior wives received the morgen -gabe
Then those inferior wives were welded
with inferior ceremonies, known as the
morgen-ehe; a woman so welded was
termed morganatica. From this word
we get our expression, "morganatic mar

The English girl, observes traveller in
the Boston Herald, is romantic and sub
missive. While as full of sentiment as
the ideal love letters tied with blue rib
bons, she still regards man as her lord
and master. She rarely dreams of dis
putting the supremacy of her husband,
father, or even brother, and her privilege
and pleasure are to minister unto them.
She is so affectionate in her home circle
that the average man has only to be adj
mitted there to straightway fall head
over heels in love with a girl who wor-
ships her brother, is forever kissing her
fond father, and disputes with her sisters
the honor and delight of warming the
paternal slippers. Even when of ''high
station" she takes her turn in making the
tea and preparing the toast and superin-
tending the breakfast generally task
which mamma relegates to her daughters.
The English girl breathes this engaging
air of domesticity. Man doesn't say,
''How she can waltz how well she
looks at the OPERA how she surpasses all
the other girls in the cotiilionl"
No matter to what advantage she may
appear in evening dress under the soft
radiance of the wax candles, what the
most inveterate bachelor whispers to
himself is this: ''By Georgel what a
wife she would make And what a
homel"

Buffalo Bin on French Courtesy.

In a letter to the Chicago Inter Ocean,
Buffalo Bill writes concerning French
politeness: 1t is genuine courtesy. and
while the forms of conduct may appear
extravagant to some Americans, it seems
to me that they are genuine expressions
of regard. I cannot help feeling that
the French are extremely hospitable and
generous. That is, they do not condemn
a man before he is proved guilty. They
willingly takes his word for what he is,
and do what they can to promote his in
terests.
A great deal has been written in the
past about the Frenchman's fckleness, his
love of display, etc. I have not found
this judgment justified by my expert
ence. have been concerned here in
giving an entertainment characteristic of
certain features of American life We
do not parade in spangled clothing, we
have no grand scenery, no spectacle of
the ordinary kind; in fact, nothing has
been done to give any artificial effect to
our performance. We appear in exactly
the same costume in which we rode
about the plains, and every feature of
our properties, to use theatrical term, is
of the plainest description. Do the
Frenchmen dislike it, accustomed as they
are to seeing a wealth of splendor in
their public entertainments? Not at all.
They are deeply impressed with the plain
genuineness of the exhibition we give.
In all our experience 1 have not known
people who came more repeatedly than
the French TO see our representation.
They take pairs to inform me and my
associates of their appreciation OF the
homely features which We bring into the
foreground.
All this would seem to show that the
French are anything but superficial in
their observations. They care more for
the plain, rough representation of the pi-
oneer's life than for the gaudy glitter of
the circus. Further than that, they cor
rectly appreciate the individual features
the Wild West. They understand what
we arc about when we endeavor to illus
trate the life on the plains of years ago,
a manner of life, indeed, that has not yet
entirely gone out of existence.
