Marriage in the Philippines.

In no respect will the domination, or
even the influence of the United States
in the Philippines work for good more
than the social life of the people. An
American minister who has recently
returned from the islands is the author
ity for the statement that the priests
have for many years charged the ma
tives no less than $40 for performing
the marriage service. As the average
native under Spanish rule was able to
earn about = a month "when times
were good'' and he had regular EN-
ployment, it is easy to see why common
law marriages have always been the
rule rather than the exception. 1t is
safe to say that among the first reforms
introduced in the islands is one that
will have direct bearing upon the
sauctity of the marriage relation

SOME LITERARY LIONS.
Personal Traits of the Leading Eng.
lish Novelists.

There is an interesting group Of nov
elists in London, whose society is
sought by men aud women Of fashion
They are made much OF wherever they
go, and are petted and hattered with
social attentions.
Rudyard Kipling is one OF the least
manageable of the literary lions. He
has the restless energy Of man who
has been travelling and working in
many lands. He dislikes compliments,
shuns society and prefers to live quiet
ly and to see only u few intimate
friends.
Thomas Hardy is great favorite in
London, but is seldom seen there. He
lives in the country and is one Of the
most modest among literary meu. He
rarely talks about his own work, and
seems surprised when strangers meet
him and greet him as a great literary
artist.
Hall Caine, like Thomas Hardy, pre-
fers the country to the town, but he is
more intense in his manner and more
selEcentered in conversation. He talks
well and is a dramatic story-telier.
When his attention il fixed upon his
own work and personality he is least
interesting, and is wholly at his best
when some keen mind diverts him
from himself and interests him in what
is going on in the world of ideas
]. NJ. Barrie is shy and retiring
man, who has been drawn into social
life against his will. His conversation
is bright and pleasing, but it must al
ways be forced out by those who are
with him. He is modest and reserv-
ed, and content 10 remain in the back
GROUND ifany one else wishes to talk.
DIR. Conan Doyle is as tall and stall
wart as Mr.. Barrie is short and insight
ficlnt in appearance. He Is a sinewy,
vigorous giant, with a bluff. hearty
manner and a strong voice. He feels
at home among men, takes an interest
in cricket and field sports, and carries
himself like a man of the world who is
conscious of his ability to hold his
ground.
Sir Walter Besant is also burly
Englishman, with loud voice but
h cares less for society than DR.. Doyle
d les, and is more of student His
favorite topic is London, which he
knows more intimately in all IFS storied
associations than perhaps any other
Englishman.
George Meredith is the most intel
lectual of all the English novelists. He
is happiest in his own library in the
country with an old friend who can
talk intelligently about French and
German literature.
The most accomplished man Of the
world among English novelists is
Anthony Hope Hawkins, who revels
in dinner parties and receptions, and
is great favorite in social life. His
manners are most agreeable, and he
has ready wit and boyish flow Of
spirits.
Novelists, like artists, are as different
in manners and tastes as they are in
their methods and ideals. Their strong
individuality makes them interesting
people to meet. So persistently are
they sought and lionized that they find
little time for serious work in so great a
social centre as London, and are COM
PEELED to live outside in the country

Origin of an Old Saying.

The saying, "ThOse who live in glass
houses should not throw stones" orig
mated at the time when the crowns cf
England and Scotland were united. At
that time many Scotehmen went to
London to live.
The Duke of Buckingham, who lived
in palace known as the 'Glass House"
hated the Seotchmen, and organized
parties to smash the windows of the
houses in which they dwelt.
BY way of revenge a number of
Scotehmen broke the windows in the
Dukes palace.
The Duke complained to the King,
who replied; "Steenie, Steenie, these
wha live in glass houses should be care
fu' how they fiing stanes."

Work and Women.

Chicago Journal.
Have the men who complain that
women are driving them out Of en-
plOyment been getting the cart before
the horse? Have they been driving
women into employment by persist
emily remaining bachelors and refusing
to support them?
Ishungry, stingy man really to blame
and is he undergoing at times the pro-
voking sensation of being hoist with
his own petsTd2
A New Orleans contemporary sug-
gests that the tendency Of women TO
usurp the employment Of men is
chargeable not to the perverseness
Of women, but to the selfishness Of
men, and that an excessive number Of
bachelors makes necessary a cores
ponding number of self-supportiDg wo-
men.
The bachelor often says he can't sup
port wife because the competition Of
women is cutting down his wages. In
our eontemporary's view the bachelors
wages are being cut down because he
won't take wife. 1t is worth consid-
ering.
If the latter proposition is true, it s
fair. y woman has just as much right
to be independent as a man has to be
single. The question seems to be, who
started IL?
Possibly the woman did, just as she
started the original trouble long time
ago, after Pitheeanthropus Ereetus had
disappeared from the scene and man
was making his celebrated debut. II
she did, the bachelors grumble has at
least the sanction of antiquity as well
as the approval of the benedict, for its
ancestor was the ancient and cowardly
grumble of Adam, who was a married
man
But is Il great, bold, strong, maseu-
iine grumble, or does it partake, to just
a trifiing extent, of the chicken-hearted
poltroonery of its Adainite ancestor?
We don't want to disturb business by
preeipitaiing a rush Of the bachelors to
marry every unemployed woman who
is not already married or engaged. But
it seems clear that the fault in this mat
ter IS not altogether feminine. If the
selfsupporsing bachelors of both sexes
would hold a convention to consider it,
they might discover where the real
fault lies, and come to an understand
ing that would be mutually beneficial.
