The Way to Get Married in England,

The present method of marriage MAX
ling in England is a curious one. Theo-
| retically. the young people settle the
whole business for themselves. but that
does not for one moment exonerate the
mother from blame should the daughter
make wrong choice. or fail from OBJ
stlnacy or want OF opportunity to make q
choice at all. If a daughter makes q
good match from a worldly point OF view
and is unhappy, there are always people
to say that the mother brought it
about. with a snobbisn motive. If. on
the other hand, she makes an unworldly
match and is still unhappy, her acquaint-
ance wonder what her mother was
thinking Of to let it be-
If the mother does her best to marry
h ne daughter well, from an honest belief
that she is working for her true happi-
ness, she, runs a risk of being said to
throw her daughter at every mans
head;'' if she lets things take their
course, she has "given her no 0nnortnn-
ity." "Opportunity" too often means the
turning of Demonstrating into a bust
ness. 1t is not uncommon to hear both
Of gayety in which they live as work.
and not uncommon either for one or
both to injure their health in the nursuit
Of so-called pleasure.
Among less fashionable people in the
country tnlngS are not very different
only there the healthier diversion of ont,
door games takes a larger place. In
these the mother, unless she is excen-
tionally young, does not often take Dart.
and is thus able to secure for herself a
certain amount Of peace. Outdoor
games, however. give no food for
thought, not even SO much as gayeties,
which are pursued under a roof. Those
who give half their time to them nrac-
ticially lead life which is only suitable
for children, and as, unfortunately. thev
have no longer any lessons to emnioy
their leisure hours, they are often un-
speakably bored. - 49,
The best excuse for this curious ar
rangement for the wasting of youth ia
its success. If, after three or fonr wears
thus spent, a girl either marries or finds
for herself, some rational employment,
no harm has been done. The thrae
years Of busy idleness may act as a ton
ic, setting up a habit Of happiness, and
possessing, even in memory, a certain
recreative value. But ten such years.
and from eighteen to twenty-eight is no
exaggeration Of the period often SO spe1,t
would have deleterious effect upon
the character Of an angel. Spectator.

HE DOUBLED IF.

Old Muggleton's five daughters were
The worry Of his life;
He thought an old maid each would be,
Not one Of them wife.
He found 1t cost lot Of cash
10 keep five girls at home,
ana no young men rolled UP to ask
The dears with them to roam.
And so he set his wits to work
And freely spent his pelf
In trying might and main to get
His darlings off the shelf.
And he succeeded: suitors came,
And fell into the trap:
For one by one each daughter caught
Some poor, unlucky chap.
Still Muggleton Is sorry, and
All through the day doth weep;
instead of just five girls, he has
Ten people now to keep.

Great Boom in Touring.

Although there is no Paris exposition
as many tourists are going to the CONT
nent this year as last. Compared with
1890, when touring was normal, there is
an increase of about 20 per cent. Paris
hotels have been full some time-and the
season in Switzerland is a good one. The
electric railway from Lefayet to Chamou-
nix, which opens this month, will doubt
less be appreciated by many who dislike
diligences. No resort has sprung into
sudden popularity, but people are going
increasingly to Sweden and Norway,
especially Norway; The difficulty is that
season is thus concentrated into very
short time:-London Express. -

have been given in his honor. The

Mrs. Burton Harrison gave her an
nual lawn .fete at Bar Harbor on Fri
day, and it. was an affair of brilliance
and originality that surpassed anything
Of the season. 1t might be described as
9Antoinettc.. The broad lawn at Sea
Urchins, which stretches TO the waters
edge, was the scene of the entertain
ment. Hundreds of flags tluttered from
the trees, and booths and May poles
decked the open spaces. Society was
present in gay costumes, every one wear
ing the garb of Sixteenth century i'm
presentations. Milkmaids, court ladies,
cavaliers and peasantry We're repre-
sented. The grand fete was opened with
gavotte and minuet, danced by sixteen
young ladies. Following the dance was
a one-act play, written by Mrs. Harri-
son, and called the COMEDY of the
Fair" The plot was the fable of

The Largest. OF All Animals.

OF all the uncanny creatures in the
animal kingdom the one whose. a cquaint-
ance is hardest to make is the blue
whale: the largest, of all the whales, and,
indeed, one Of the most colossal animals
living or extinct, known to science. You
will look in vain for him, in the zoolog-
ical collections, in menageriessor even in
museums. A brute, 80 feet in length
and weighing just as many tons, does
not lend itself to preservation or stufinc.
and the few skeletons Of him which do
exist give one no idea of what he is like.
