ionable Marriages.
In comprehensive article on weddin !,
etiquette in Harper's Bazaar occur the foi-
lowing useful items:
No one hour is more fashionable than
another for Il wedding. Many large wei

If wedding entertainment is to b.
given. it usually Immediately follows the
marriage ceremony, which may take place
either at church or at home, quite private
ly or in the presence of numerous friends,
who are also invited to the entertainment.

Writers of Famous Hymns.

1t seems singular fact that apparently
| nothing in Il literary way will relegate a
writer to Oblivion so surely as to be the
author Of world famous hymn. As in
stances of this the 3osi on Globe gives the
following:
Nearly every one mas heard or sung the
lines of 'Sball We Gather at the Riverf"
and yet how many know even the name Of
the author, much less the fact that he ID

Hour"
Hardly known and never recognized on
She streets of New York as she walks out
= Fannie Crosby, the author of countless
hymns. among them the famous one, Safe

1t is odd that the veil of obscurity should
seem TO he the inevitable reward of those
whose pens have given us the hymns which
have brought consolation and joy to sc
many thousands.

Future Outlook OF the Wool Tariff.

Abraham Mills in Boston Transcript
The situation winch confronts the wool
en- manufacturer is this In the near fH-
ture we are to have free wool and smart
reduction of the duty on woolens. This j.
as certain as anything human can be, and
the situation must be faced. Losses must
inevitably be made and the thing now is to
make them as light rs possible. This,
think, can only be done by getting the
Senate this winter to pass the free-wool bill
now before it, or to get a new Congress to
pass such a bill in extra session next spring
If this is not done and done quickly, all
Europe, and the continent particularly,
will run its machinery night and day, max
ing staple goods with the present cheap
wool and low wages and cheap money there
to be sent to America the moment the tariff
barrier is down. The amount of goods then
thrown in here will probably be large
enough to food the American market, per
haps for two years. The condition of our
wooden industry during this period will be
pi,iable. Many mills will be closed. and
the remainder will run short time. This
means Reorganization and great suffering
to both proprietors and workmen. Ii would
also prepare the way for the reimposition
of the heavy duties on wool and woolens,
from which we have, with such difficulty
and labor. just emancipatel ourselves.
In confirmation of this view we have
just learned from Europe that English
woods have advanced a penny pound, fine
woods are much stronger, the WOODEN in
dustry much more cheerful, and that the
Titus Salt Company, instead of going into
liquidation, is 10 resume making goods in
America. The immediate abolition of the
wool duty would put US on a par with the
European manufacturer as TO the cost of
the raw material and would advance it
smartly; and naturally, with Is 900, 900
people coming into the markets of the
world as customers and this is the only
way the American people will be able to
get any benefit from the protection of forty
per cent. which the new law will likely
allow him. If the bill be postponed to
say, July. %, there will be enough goods
made in Europe, before we can get as
cheap wool as our rivals. to swamp US
when we come into the markets of the
world at a much higher price for our raw
material.
