The FreemasOns have resolved to take
a more energetic part in politics. At
the last assembly in the hall Of the grand
orient Of France the conduct Of certain
members IVES discussed who had shown
a disposition to act with the. Clericals-
Masonic deputies were censured for vOt-
ing endowmsnts TO church institutions.
There were several protests, some con-
tending that it was too soon to insist
upon the separation Of church and state,
as that would make the Radical party
unpopular. These protests were hOoted
down, and several MasOns thereupon re-
tired from TIE order. Carried on by this
same spirit the Masons passed a resolu-
ton to vote for all reforms necessary
for the final evolution Of the republic, !"
for the separation of church and state,
for the suppression Of the public worship
system and {, the embassy to the Vati-
can, and that each Mason should have a
civil funeral
There was a general insistance upon

and street corner, and the suppression Of

Why No1eIists DO Not write Plays

Ouida has contributed an article TO
the series being printed in the Pail Mall
Gazette on the subject of why novelists
do not write plays. She says that the
French style allows a wider latitude in
situations. A French audience appreci-
ates an intellectual character and esprit
Of the play which an English audience
finds unintelligible and tiresome.
Ouida adds that if Racine and
Moliere were alive they would write
plays for Mounet Sully and the
Coquelins. Were Shakespeare and
Sheridan alive they would certainly
write poems and novels. An audience
capable of accepting Mary Anderson as
a tragic actress Is incapable of knowing
good from bad. English audiences are
uncultured. With few exceptions Eng
lish actors and actresses act i'll. They
never merge themselves into the char
acter they represent. These, according
to Ouida, are the reasons that have kept
writers Of eminence of the English
stage since the days of Lytton.

A ouain. old Austrian custom.

The quaint old Austrian custom of a
bride being cast off, as it were, by her
countrymen when she takes to herself a
foreign husband, was an interesting fea-
ture at the recent marriage of the Arch
duchess Louise of Tuscany. The arch
duchess entered the church followed by
long train of royal and noble Austrian
ladies. They stood in a semicircle
around her until the moment the bride
groom placed the ring upon her finger;
then they turned and left her, for she
was no longer a acountrywoman Of theirs.
For a moment the princess stood alone
unattended; then a number of Saxon
ladies ranged themselves behind her
she had become a Saxon.
At the marriage Of Marie Antoinette
this custom, which in her case was OBJ
served only on the French frontier, had
a pathetic denouement. When the Aus
trian ladies attempted TO leave the new
Dauphiness of France she refused to be
left, and as if foreseeing what her fate
would be in her adopted country clung
TO them and entreated them to take her
back 10 Austria again. Actual force
had TO be used to separate her from her
t.endants.-Paris Letter.
