had frequently heard of rice being
thrown at departing couples, but never
quite understood either its origin or
meaning. She made it her business TO
find out. After careful research she
learned that the custom was founded
by the Parsees. No one dreamed she
had exacted silence on the subject and
promise from her maid to fling a
handful of the cereal after her as she
left her fathers mansion. The maid
confessed when the mother discovered
a penciled extract reading thuswise:

Good housekeeping has far more to

young people dream Of, and Il is mel
anchoiy fact that love Is often killed by
bad cooking. without good housekeep-

will often dwindle and die, and there

upon themselves the duties pertaining

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Mr.. CARNEGIE AND THE TREATY.
CORRESPONDENT coRREcTs STATEMENT
AEp cRITIcrsEs HIS ATTITUDE.

AMI 1hAAA~AcES HIS ATTITUDE
To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Mr.. Carnegie in his letter In your col
umns OF to-day makes a mistake which is Gu
rious in person Of his large information.
He states that when Russia announced her in
tention 10 disregard the provision OF the treaty
oebarr1ng her from placing a fleet in the Black
Sea there was no objection from the other
Powers.
AS a matter OF fact. there was objection, and
Russia did not carry out her intention until this
clause in the treaty had been annulled by COM
mon consent at the London Conference OF 1871
But even if this event had been as described by
Mr. Carnegie. there is no parallel at all between
the circumstances under which the above treaty
and the Clayton Bulwer Treaty were made. The
treaty with Russia was made after Russia had
been beaten in aggressive war on third
Power, and the prohibitory clause regarding the
feet was a penalty exacted, AMI had no bearing
on the main features Of the treaty. On the
other hand. the Clayton E3ulwer Treaty was
made at a time OF profound peace, and II was
intended, as its terms clearly show, to be
solemn declaration Of principles to be observed
in perpetuity by the high contracting parties. not
only for their own mutual benefit, but, Incl
dentally for the interests of all nations.
Mr. Carnegie is professed friend OF arbitra-
tion save me from such friends! What is the
use of treaties Of arbitration and what is the
use of the decisions Of arbitrators, If solemn
treaties such as the Clayton -Bulwer Treaty
can be denounced by one OF the contracting par
ties against the will Of the other? Yours re-
