Courtship in Germany.

"tWhen a girl has arrived at what is
considered a marriagable age in Ger
many her parents invite young men to
the house, writes Charlotte Bird, of
"Girl Life in Germany" in the July
Ladies Home Journal.
'"Two or three are invited at the same
time so that the attention may not seem
too pointed. But no young man il ever
invited unless he has called at least
once, and thus signifed his wish to have
social intercourse with the family. If
he call several times in too close success
sion il is taken for granted that he has
Intentions and he may be questioned
concerning them. Generally an en-
gagement is made public as o. as the
arrangements can be made. This ia
done by means of newspapers and for
NAL announcements on cards. The man
supplies a plain gold band ring for each.
This 10 worn during the engagement on
the ring finger OF the left hand. From
this time the contracting parties are
bride aud bridegroom. Among con-
sentative people even the ~afinauced
couple is scarcely allowed to be alone,
a .chaperon being provided whenever
the people go out. A bethrothal may
last several years, until the bridegroom
can become settled in life, but in most
cases the marriage soon takes place.
Just before the marriage the banns are
published in the church, either on two
Sundays, or if the time be short, twice
on the same day. In the latter case a
notice Z posted in a public place MOTH

Cottonwood Outlook.

The quiet operations OF the people
who have taken hold of the copper
properties in the Cottonwood district
are OF the greatest significance. Their
plans were carefully laid and several
groups of valuable properties were Sc
cured. And the fact is well known that
there is much ore of a high grade in that
district.
Col. Taylor in speaking of the outlook
for that section emphasized M point
that was well understood he said that
there was no question abont there being
plenty of ore. He was speaking at the
time particularly of the iron and copper.
But he said that better transportation
was needed.
1t has been well known for some time
that several parties were figuring on
running a road from some point on the
Central Pacific through that mining
country. This has been H~itchcock's
plan and Col. Lowe has been making
reconnaissance with the same object in
view.
4 branch line has been talked of from
Mill City, and also from Wadsworth.-
Lovelock Tribune.
In the meantime Churchill will bond
for 100000 for the road to come this
way and coin talks.
