LOVE MAKING IN MEXICO.
The Lover Must be of as Good Birth as the
Young Lady He Wishes to Marry.

As rule no one is received in an
exclusive Mexican home unless his social
caste is equal to that of the family he de-
sres to visit, and thenshe must needs be
presented and vouoh he'd for by friend in
whom the household has implicit conf
lance" writes Edward Page CASTOR of
"A Pair of Lovers III Mexico" in the
February Ladies' Home Journal. "a
sutton, therefore, is not admitted to the
residence of his inamorata on her invita-
ton alone, for the portero. in charge
day and night of the great oubly -bolted
zahuan giving entrance from the street
to the inner courts of the house 10 under
strict instructions to admit no one ex :
cept by order of the parents of the sem
orita whose audience is being o eagerly
sought. The young gentleman may
earnestly pound upon the massive brass
knocker for hours, seeking admittaloe.
but his knocking will not avail. So he
ana the lady of his choice must do their
distant love-making in the public view
and hearing until such time as the stony
parental heart shall have melted
sufficiently to grant him admission to
the family circle. Inside of the domestic
citadel the lady meantime warmly pleads
the cause of the unhappy one without.
extolling his constanoy and the many
other good qualities which she has
proved her faithful admirer to posses.
The day is at last victoriously carried, by
one means or another and the lovers are
allowed tha privilege of the parlor; but
they are never left alone, for the old
system of chaperonage is still rigidly in
vogue.
90 If the attentive lover desires the COM
pany of bis chosen one to the opera, or
upon coach drive. he must include an
invitation begging the presence Of the
father or mother, or more properly of
the whole family. Mexican families are,
unfortunately. given to the prompt NC
ceptance of such Invitations in cheerful
body, and the result is that the son-in
law-to-be and the destined bride, when
they appear in public, find themselves
mere members Of large box party at the
play, or full coach load of company,
for all OF which gayety the young matri
moDial aspirant pays the bills. The sane
tioning presence of the family gives for
NAL announcement that there is we'd

Mccausland' : Bicycle Opening,

H. W. MoCausland's annual bicycle
opening occurred Saturday evening and
was pronounced success, the stores be.
ing crowded the entire evening with
ladies and gentlemen, all admiring the
many beautiful wheels displayed. The
ladies' parlor is an attractive addition,
being neatly carpeted. with handsome
pictures adjoining the walls, and is espec-
tally for the display Of ladies' wheels.
The Indies are getting to be regular wheel
"cranks" and took rs much interest in
the many fine points and improvements
on the '97 mounts as did the men. Mr..
MoCausland has one of the largest, if not
the largest, display OF wheels in the state
and any one who cannot find q suitable
mount among his collection is hard to
please, for he has them from the medium
to the highest priced wheels made
During the evening cigars were passed
around among the men, and each lady
was given a neat little souvenir. Cards
were distributed, bearing the picture of
a young lady ooastinR down hill on
bicycle. By scraping small quantity
of lead from pencil with the point of a
knife on the glazed surface and rubbing
lightly with cloth, young man was
made to appear, looking over the lady's
shoulder, the two riding on tandem,
and showing the pleasure to he derived
from coasting ON a country road.
The opening will continue all this
week and every body is invited to attend.

OIney Will Write RooL

Olney Will Write a Book.
New York, March .7-The New York
Journal publishes this morning. under
Washington date, the report that ex-
Secretary Olney is preparing to publish
a book. The Journal says:
Ex-Secretary Olney will write a book
covering the period during which be oc-
cupied the Department OF State. 1t will
uphold the policy for which be stool,
and throw strong light upon certa n
unexplained passages of his diplomacy.
The book will not appear until tie
international complications with which
the secretary dealt have bsen settled. or,
at least, have reached a stage where they
will not be affected by the revelations.
That means a possible delay of Sc veral
years.
Mr.. Olney desires to 60 down to history
as "The Treaty Maker" The negotia-
lions of six go to the credit of his short
administration of 81 months.
OF most Importance for present oonsid-
GRAFTON will be Mr.. Olney's explanation
of his Cuban policy, more bitterly at
tackled than any other. From converse.
tions which the ex-Seocretary has had
with intimate friends, the development
of his book will to certain extent justi-
fy his remarkable pro-Spaniss course.
At any rate it is interesting at this
juncture when the explanation bears
some living relation to passing events.
1t should be borne in mind that Score.
tary Olney's strong mind and positive
convictions did not always harmonic
with the views of the President The
two frequently disagreed, but with two
exceptions the Secretary and President
escaped irrec onoilable clashes through
the exercise of mutual forbearanoe. In
relation to Ambassador Bayard and his
indiscreet statements to Lord Salisbury
concerning the attitude Of the President
on the Venezuelan affair, Secretary Olney
eudeavored to have him recalled. Fail
ing in this the Secretary succeeded in re-
ducing the Ambassador to figurehead,
and transferred all negotiations to Wash
ington. The dispute over Gen. Fitzhugh

considered himself insulted by the lat
ter's dispatches in the Ruiz and SCOTT
cases, and wanted the Consul General
ignomiuiously dismissed This the Presi-
dent would not listen to, and as result
Mr.. Olney failed to give Mr.. Cleveland
farewell greeting. He practically ceased
to be Secretary of State two days before
the 4th of March.
Secretary Olney dia not and does
not believe in the independence of Cuba.
He feared the erection of Haiti or Santo
Domingo on the ruinH Of the Spanish
Satrapy. The creation of planters

ST. Louis, March 27.-The river ut this
city is beginning to boom and if the rise
continues for several days. as now seems
certain, the flood will be above the

now registered is % feet. From the sud-
den rise it is believed that ice gorges on
streams tributary to the Mississippi have

Dangers of the Grip.

The greatest danger from La Grippe
is of its resulting in pneumonia. If
reasonable care is used, however. and

danger will be avoided. Among the tens

for La Grippe, we have yet to learn of a
single case having resulted in pneumo-

remedy is a certain preventative of that
