ETIQUETTE OF WEDDINGS.
Points to Be Observed by the Bride
Regarding Invitations and
Her Presents.

The fashionable wedding invitation
is a voluminous affair. First, there is
the invitation to the ceremony, en-
graved on note paper, which is folded
once, and with this are inclosed the
card for the reception, the card for adj
mission to the church and the at home
card of the young people, If the time
and place of their at homes are de-
cided on, the exception being that they
are not. If the wedding be out of town
il is the correct thing to inclose also
memorandum of the trains to take, and
If special car is provided for guests,
card of admission to such car is in
closed.
OF course, one can and does econo-
mize by engraving the time and place
of the reception upon the invitation
sheet, but this is not considered good
taste, the correct thing being to have
separate card for each separate thing.
If the marriage is private announce
ments should be sent to every one who
would otherwise have been invited. If
these are sent out by the parents of the
bride it should be done Immediately
after the marriage, as she is no longer
one of their household after she leaves
it with her husband. If the announce
ment is later, it should be sent in the
name of the couple. If the newly~inaS-
ried pair have decided on a day or days
at home, card for those days is in
closed with the announcement.
The bride acknowledges her pres
ents as soon as possible, using paper
with her new monogram. Paper for
this purpose with new seal is usually
provided beforehand by the bride
groom. A letter of thanks is not neces-
sary, but the note must contain few
well chosen words in the brides own
handwriting. Cards with a sentence of
thanks are not considered good form"

TEE SHIPS RUDDER.
Construction of Its Two Parts and
the Difference in the Strain
That Comes Upon Them.

The rudder of wooden ship is COM
posed of the stalk and the backing,
which are so joined together as to form
in effect single piece. The complete
rudder is coppered, to protect it from
worms, and then, besides being practi
cally all in one spiece, it has that ap-
pearance also.
The stalk is the part to which are
attached the pintles, or pivots, by which
the rndder is suspended and held in
place, these going through eyes set in
the ships sternpost. The stalk runs up
through the stern of the ship, and to
its head is bolted a cap to which are
attached the ropes by means of which
the rudder is controlled. The backing
is the blade part of the rudder.
By far the greater strain comes on
the stalk, and the greatest strain of
all comes on the head of the stalk-the
rudder head-where it is held. The
stalk is made of the wood most likely
to stand the strain, carefully selected,
sound, well-seasoned oak, while the
backing is made of spruce or hard pine.
The stalk is of u single, solid, massive
piece, stout as an oak tree, and indeed
of the dimensions of small oak
something that a man can pin his faith
to, if he can have faith in any wood
while the backing or blade is, like many
modern wooden masts, built up. 1t
would be difficult, if not impossible, to
find trees that would yield planks big
enough for the purpose in single piece,
and the built-up backing, made of
pieces of selected wood, can easily be
made of ample strength to withstand
any strain that will be brought upon it.
As to the stalk, stout and solid as the
oak may be, the head may be twisted
by the force of a tremendous blow from
u wave upon the rudder, or, under the
repeated strains of long use, the head
may split, and so make the stalk use
less. Then the rudder is taken out and
fitted with a new stalk. A suitable
stick is selected and worked down to
the proper size and form, and very prob
ably the old backing is attached to it,
The life of n rudder stalk would proba-
bly, be ~ to ii years. The backing
might last as long as the ship.-N. Y.

PROPHETIC SPANIARDS.
A Warning of Coming Events on the
American Continent That Was
Given in 1888.

| | inclose you extract from communi-
cation made by Count Amanda to the
king of Spain shortly after the treaty
OF Paris in 1888. The count, among
other things, says: 1.-THE independence
Of the English colonies has been ac-
knowledged. This is for me an occa-
sion of grief and dread. France has few
possessions in America; but she should
have considered that Spain, her inti
mate ally. has many, and that she is left
to-day exposed to terrible shocks. y
This federal republic is born pig
my, so TO speak. 1t required the sup
port and the forces of two powers as
great as Spain and France in order to
attain independence. "A day will come
| when it will be giant, even a colossus,
formidable in these countries. The first
movement of this power, when it has
arrived at its aggrandizement, will be
to obtain possession of the Floridas in
order to dominate the Gulf OF Mexico.
After having rendered commerce with
New Spain difficult for us, it will aspire
to the conquest of this vass empire,
which it will not be possible for us to
defend against formidable power es-
tablished on the same continent and in
its neighborhood.
"Your majesty must relieve yourself
Of all possessions on the continent of the
two Americas, preserving only the
islands of Cuba and Puerto Rico in the
northern part and some other conven-
lent one in the southern part to serve as
seaport or trading place for Spanish
| commerce. In order to accomplish this
great thought in a manner becoming
to Spain three infants must be placed
in America-one as king of Mexico an
other as king of Peru and the third as
king of the Terra Firma. Your mai
esty will take the title of emperor"
While the above is remarkably
prophetic, it also discloses the innate
cowardly instincts of the school of
Spanish statesmen to which the late De
LONE belonged.
Strikingly in contrast with the views
of the count is the deliverance of En-
lilo CASTELAR,, Spain's enlightened states
man. On June %, 1871, in the Spanish
cortes, he said: America, and espe-
cially Saxon America, with it's immense
virgin territories, with it's republic,
with its equilibrium between stability
and progress, with its harmony be.
tween liberty and democracy, is the con-
tinent of the future-the immense con-
tinent stretched by God between the
Atlantic and Pacific, where mankind
may plant essay and resolve all social
problems. Europe has to decide
whether she will confound herself with
Asia, placing upon her lands old affairs,
and upon the altars old idols, and upon
the idols immovable theocracies, and
upon the theocraries despotic empires,
or whether she will go by labor, by lib
erty and by the republic to collabornte
with America in the grand work of uni-
versal civilization"
Spain has gone counter to the policy
Of her eminent statesman, and now
finds herself beyond the pale Of civiliza-
ton, with complete realization of the
warning words of 17S3.-John C. Will
