How Maids of Honor Are Selected and
 Some of Their Duties.
 Maids of honor are chosen by the queen herself from among the daughters of peers, who if not themselves connect cd with the royal household, are per- sonal friends of her majesty. 4 letter ia always sent to the parents of the young lady requesting that as q personal favor to the queen she may be permitted to attend at court. As the position is un- deniable and the salary is e300 Il year, the request is invariably accepted, and the newly chosen maid receives from the lord chamberlain the command for her first wait D
 Tho first thing brought to the maid of honor is her badge, which is a min iature picture of the queen set i'll bril- liants and hung from q ribbon. Just before the dinner hour the maid of hon OF in waiting has to stand in the corri- dor outside the queens private apart ments. She carries a bouquet, which on entering the dining room she lays at the right hand of the queen s plate
 The maid of honor sits at dinner next to the gentleman on the queen right. This rule is, however, relaxed when royal guests are present.

Mixed Marriages.

Having in mind the somewhat notorious
( failure of the marriage of the cultivated
/ New England white woman, Miss Cora
/ Belle Fellows, TO the Indian, Chaska, one
can hardly help asking the question
mentally, how much better will the mar
( riage of that other New England woman,
Miss Mayo, to a negro porter turn out, Our
dispatches gave the details of the misal-
lance. The bride was a society young
woman of Aiddlesex, VT, is cultivated
and comes of a family well enough to do
to be able to visit Saratoga Springs dur
ing the season. The groom is black, a
laborer, the porter in a hotel. Presum-
ably he is as coarse as the average negro
occupying a similar position, and with
no more appreciation of the obligations of
his new relations than the average of his
race 1t is impossible that the marriage
should have had other effect than to de-
grade the young woman. The man was
her inferior; she can hardly respect him
as she would if he were her equal
and as a husband should be res
Pected. She may think, while the nov
city lasts, that her black spouse is para
gon, and give him kind of hero worship.
But with time the novelty will wear
away and the woman will be disillu-
stoned. --.~------r
In the case of Miss Fellows, she was
quite sure she had married one of ma
lures noblemen; her Indian husband was
SO big and brave and devoted But
shortly after the advent Of the second
little hafbreed pappoose, Chaska de-
serted his educated white wife and ran
away with an indian wench who didn't
know one letter. from another. was inno-
cent of the use of soap and probably never
eombed her hair in her life And Miss
Fellows, OF. Mrs. Chaska, has now to sup
port the kids and hide her sorrow as best
she can
1t Is gratifying to note that there are
few places outside of New England where
marriages between whites and blacks
may take place. In nearly all of the
southern states. and in of the north
ern states, there are laws prohibiting
such unions under heavy penalties. 1t is
interesting to note, in this connection,
that Louisiana is one of the few southern
states that haveno anti-miscegenation
law, Notwithstanding that for the last
ten years or SO efforts have been made to
pass such a law. The white people have
been in possession of the state govern
ment for seventeen years, and the state
legislature during that time has been
almost altogether white. Nevertheless
bills Of the kind referred to have failed.
Last week, however, the state Senate
passed and anti-miscegenation bill, and
the New Orleans papers are using their
best efforts to induce the House to pass it
also.

Prootor,s Sheer Argument.

Senator Proetor's dry wit and his early
Sunday school training were combined yes
terday in speech upon the tariff which was
an oasis in desert of .dreary talk. says the
Washington Post. tits not the first time that
the Vermont senator has brought a smile to
the faces of his colleagues by his keen sense
of humor
The first recorded attempt to break down
the interests of sheep husbandry he gan
was when Cain slew his brother Abel who
was "A keeper Of sheep The motives and
purposes which actuated Cain we're plainly
the same as those VIII CHI aetuate his followers
to-day. 1t was jealousy of u preferred and
protested industry
Apparently ooliyious to the ripples of
laughter, which now stirred the usual Quiet
OF the Senate chamber, Senator Pro.tor con
tinued:
Cain was 'tiller of the ground, and
brought OF the fruits of the ground an offer
Ing unto the Lord. This offering might have
been OF rice. of cotton, or of sugar, the record
does not state. More laughter But Abel
brought OF the ttrstllngs of his flock and of
the fat thereof to the Lord, and the Lord had
respect unto Atel and to his Offering. put
unto Cain and his offering he.had no respect.
The punishment melted out to Cain fairly
toreshadows that which win be melted out by
the people to the promoters of this measure.
The mark shall be set upon them and when
the time of retribution comes they will say
with Cain, My punishment is greater than I
can bear "
Then the senator quoted any number of
Biblical references to sheep. as Abraham and
his eve lam, at Beersheba and the attempt
OF jacob to improve the breed after his bar
gain with Laban He emphasized the fact that
David was with thes sheep when Saul sent for
him, and finally he strung together dozen or
more verses from the Bible to show that the
Lord was always fond of sheep and that he
put them upon his right hand while the goats
went upon the left.
And after this scriptural introduction the
senator made an earnest plea for the preser-
walton OF the merino sheep in this country.
