One Period In . Chinese Gtri's Life When
She Ia Praised.
The following letter was written by
q Chinese in China, who desired the
daughter of neighbor as wife for
his son:
ION my knees beg you not to despise
this cold and common request, but listen
to the words of the matrimonial agent
and give your honorable daughter to
my slave Of a son SO that the pair,
bound by silken threads, may have the
greatest Joy. In the beautiful spring.
time shall offer wedding presents and
give couple of geese, and let us hope
for long and continuous fortune and
look forward through endless genera
tions to the fulfllment of genuine love.
May they sing Of plenty and have every
joy. On my knees beg you to con-
slider my proposal favorably and throw
the mirror-lilse glance of your eyes on
these lines"
To this letter the father of the bride
replied that he would ''attend to the
portion of his poor and poverty-stricken
daughter, that she might not be with
out bedclothes, cotton clothing, hair
pins and earrings. Therefore, it was
to be hoped that the couple would have
constant fortune"

MERCHANTS ANDCRAFT GUILDS
A Sort of Trades Union That Existed In

A Sort of Trades Union That Existed In
the Twelfth Century.
During the twelfth century merchant
guilds arose in all the towns Of impor-
tance in England, and in the next CEN
tury a further development Of town
life took place in the rise of craft guilds.
These associations were composed of
the artisans engaged in a GER
tain industry in particular
town BY the growth of popula-
;ioa. i is evident that when the
merchant guilds had attained their
E.'2t c22. my there would be consid-
cradle number of persons dwelling in
the town who would not be eligible to
membership of the guild either as land
holders or as the heirs of guildsmen.
Many of these would be skilled in some
pursuit or calling; and naturally they
would adopt the best means of secur-
ing their rights and protecting their in
terests by taking common action against
the rest of the community.
The earliest craft guilds were those
Of the weavers and fullers of wooden
cloth, says writer in the Westminster
Review The guild of bakers is nearly
as old, and that of the leather dressers,
or corvesars, dates from about the same
period. At first there was struggle
between the merchant guilds and the
craft guilds, as the one body naturally
strove to retain its monopoly of the
government of the town and the other
endeavored to share in it's municipal
privileges. But the circumstances of
the time were such as to quick
ly unite the two bodies in COM
mon resistance to the tyranny of
the sovereign power, or Of the great
feudal lords. In turn, the monarch
found it good policy to foster the towns,
both with the object of developing their
wealth, and SO of acquiring source of
revenue for himself, as well as of bring
ing into existence factor to counter
balance the overgrown power of the
mobiles.

One of the old fogies who spend their
days compiling disagreeable statistics
says that mustaches are more common
among women now than formerly, and
that fully eight per cent. of the women
are thus adorned. This is nonsense.
Probably this curmudgeon's eyebrows
are 80 thick and overhanging that every
thing he sees appears to have whiskers.
In the countries Of the Latin race
Italy, France and Spain-women with
mustaches are plentiful enough. There
is the queen Of Spain, for one. She
does not mind it, for women with
downy lips are admired In those parts
Of the world Among nations of the
Teutonic race, ON the contrary. there
Is squeamish distaste for them,
probably because they are SO rare.

A FIGHT TO THE DEATH.
How Two Warriors In the Interior Of
Africa Settled Their Love Affairs.

How Two Warriors in the Interior Of
Africa Settled Their Love Affairs.
Even in the interior of South Africa
jealousy will induce men to fight. If
two Matabele warriors offer the same
number of cows to the father of belle
for her possession, arms are resorted to
to decide the superiority of one or the
other, and one of the combatants is
usually killed in the contest. One of
Maj. Won Wissmann's officers accidental
ly witnessed such duel and described
it as follows:
''Toward sundown while resting near
an immense bowlder of the Ingogo
drift we were suddenly disturbed from
sleep by yelling and noise of clashing
arms Looking up saw three Zulus
jumping around and belaboring each
other with thin sticks. asked my
servant Tom what was the matter. He
replied this was duel for a woman.
Upon sign of the umpire, who watched
the fray, motionless, the sticks were
changed for clubs, and another set-to
with this formidable weapon followed.
Suddenly another sign was given, the
clubs were thrown away and both ran
in different directions. About thirty
yards from the former position both
turned and lifted the assagais, throw
ing them at each other. One of the
Zulrs had approached our hiding place,
behind the bowlder. SO that l could al
most touch him. Just as he lifted his
spear for second throw his adver-
sarys assagai hit him in the breast.
Without sound he collapsed. The
other-the victor-returned to the kraal
to fetch the woman, now his"

NATIONALITY IN EGG EATING.
Curious Racial characteristics Noted h
New York Restaurants.

Curious Racial characteristics Noted IN
New York Restaurants.
The philosopher who is to discover
the ponderability of mans "gray mat
ter" by the way In which he eats boiled
eggs is not yet risen among us, but It
only requires the ordinary powers of
observation and moderate acquaint-
tance with the restaurants Of New
York. says the Sun of that city, to dis
cover that there are some very curious
and clear indications Of mans nation
ality to be gathered from watching
the way in which he performs this func-
ton.
To an Englishman, it will be seen,
there is but one way in which to eat
boiled eggs, and all other ways are
heathenish and an abomination. 1t Is
necessary, in the first place, that his
eggs be medium boiled-three and q
half minutes is the standard, tower
marked time-and then brought to
table in q napkin, with bread and but
ter, spoon, pepper end salt, and an egg
cup. Not one of those heavy, parti-
toned things, of thick iron stoneware,
with goblet-lilxe arrangement at one
end and smaller depression at the
other, but delicate little article of
white china, with a plain gold band
around the edge, narrow band 1t
should be, or, perhaps, little spray of
light tinted flowers painted on the
sides. Into this cup of comfort the egg
slides deeply, just leaving sufficient
amount of shell above the rim to be re-
moved, and to remove this shell there
is but one true method of procedure.
The shell must be dainty Clipped with
the spoon, and the fragments must be
removed with the same utensil. There
are some people who brutally cut of
the top of the egg with knife and
plunge the spoon at once in medias res,
but these are generally persons" and
are by no means representative of the
true and insular art of egg eating. It
is allowable, under certain conditions,
to use the fingers to remove the broken
fragments of the Clipped shell, but the
use cannot be commended as good form.

WANT WHAT THEY CAN'T GET
How q Certain Little Human Weakness
Affects the Furniture Trade.

How q Certain Little Human Weakness
Affects the Furniture Trade.
"John," said a furniture salesman, the
other day, to the mover whom he had
summoned, "this bedroom set is sold.
but it is not to be delivered just yet,
Move 1t out of the salesroom at once
and store it somewhere until want 1t. :"
"What's the use of moving it until you
send it up to mep" asked the purchaser,
idly. "Why don't you leave 1t where it
is?'
The salesman, says New York ex-
change, uttered queer little laugh
and said:
at is evident that you were never in
the furniture business, or you would
not ask that question. If I should
mark that set sold and leave it here
in the salesroom in plain sight It would
probably lose us several good sales"
"How SOP" asked the purchaser, with
IN unbelieving look.
'It illustrates universal weakness of
human nature" laughed the salesman.
Everybody wants what he can't get,
and there is nothing quite so attractive
to the average buyer as piece of fur
niture that somebody else has bought
before he came around. If left that
bedroom set out marked sold half a
dozen persons would say before night
that it was exactly the set they wanted,
and when they heard there were no
duplicates they would fuss around en-
viously and nothing else in the estab-
lishment would satisfy them.
Eventually they would go off dis
contentedly and buy elsewhere, though
the chances are that if there were no
sold tag on the set none of them
would give it more than a passing
glance, while q fair proportion of them
would purchase other sets. 1t Is a lit
tie human weakness, that is ALL"
So arises one of the tricks of the
trade. When dealer sells piece of
furniture of which he has no duplicates
he hustles it out of the salesroom as
quickly as he can, lest it lose him other
trade. But when he sells piece Of
furniture of which he has duplicates
he puts big "sold" tag on it and
leaves it in open sight as long as possi-
BILE for bait to others.

ABOUT GUT GLASS.
The Kind That Ii In Vogue and How -
Take Care of It.

The Kind That Il In Vogue and How -
Take Care Of It.
Imported cut glass is now rivaled by
the American production at price
which, though high, is considerably less
than the foreign. Owing to the great
amount of work required in cutting
and polishing and the large percentage
of breakage while in the hands of the
workmen cut glass must always be val
uable. Once, while watching the
process at an American factory which
turns out some Of the finest in the
world, saw salad bowl break just as
it was receiving its final touches, and
this without any fault OF the artisan.
On the piece had already been expended
enough work to bring the value of the
article up to forty-five dollars. Of
course, the labor was totally lost.
The two finest kinds of glass, Bo-
hemian and Venetian, are named from
the countries in which their manufac-
ture has reached high degree Of per-
fection. In the Venetian the beauty
consists in the delicacy of the material
and form. Its production requires both
technical and artistic skill in glass
blowing, while the Bohemian is dis
tinguished by richness of ornamental
tion through polishing and engraving.
After the rivalry of England in add
ing mixture of lead to flint glass,
by means of which was produced
a substance superior in brilliance
and transparency to the Bohemians,
the continental workers set to
work to regain their supremacy.
This they did by discovering how to
make colored glass, or rather by redis-
covering the old process and popular
izing it. As result we have to-day
the Bohemian and Carlsbad glass,
which is beautiful, though sometimes
made gaudy by ornamentation of So
styled ''jewels"-that is, imitation of
pearls, rubies, emeralds and garnets in
colored glass. The result is often q
brilliant medley that will hardly bear
inspection.
