Marriage in France.
The future marriage question which
ia being discussed so promiscuously in
current literature, not only serves as a
target for the tiresome “new woman
Jokes." but is receiving the serious
consideration of thinking minds. The
French marriage of today has been se
verely criticised on (his ride of the At
lantic. especially in Its dowry feature.
The selection of the husband by the
parents of the wife meets with objec
tion also, but there is something to be
raid in favor cf It. French parents
generally having the welfare of their
daughter at heart, which Is only nat
ural. do not think of imposing on her
a husband for whom she has no pre
dilection. A girl cf IS in France, hav
ing a very limited experience of life.
Is apt to be deceived in her estimate cf
men. and her parents. with that knowl
edge of the world which time alone
can give, guide her In her selection.
Besides, there are other considerations.
The family ties are stronger than with
us and the daughter can no more en
rating herseif from father and mother
than they can of scoavating themselves
from her. The husband from (his rea
son Internes as much a member of the
family as if he were a son. This causer?
them to exercise prudence, lest he who
proposes to en*er*the family may dis
turb its harmony. Surrounded by such
restraints, and a social calamity as an
elopement with the coachman is rare.
One of the most object 100 a bio features
of the French marriage is that it is

Another great discovery has been

country. "Disease fastened its clutches

gans were undermined and death seem
ed Imminent. For three months she
coughed Incessantly and could not

recovery by purchasing of us a bottle
of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con
sumption and won so much relieved on
taking the first dose that she slept all

absolutely cured. Her name Is Mrs.

Washing.on. July 19.—Several con

that they hardly looked for the csssa-,

“The rising might become very ser

“On ihe other hand, if hostilities with

Peace Negotiations.
"J believe that peace negotiations are
far advanced, but not proceeding

tions are unacceptable, so much so that
a successful conclusion seems to roc to
be far off, unless intermediary powers
sueceeed in overcoming the difficulties.
“I understand, but do not affirm, that

is acting similarly for Spain.

"Britain hopes to be rewarded by a
bite out of the cake, such as the crea
tion of a port at Tarifa, or an exten
sion of territory at Gibraltar. Britain
does noihing for nothing. As to Aus
tria. that power has consentod to de
■ fend our interests, owing to the rela
tionship between the queen regent and
Emperor Franris Joseph.
“There is another black spot on the
horizon, the possible refusal by the
Icortes to ratify the terms of the treaty
|as agreed to by the government. Then
the imbroglio would be indeed com
plete.”
He Has Resigned.
"Do you know if It is true that the
ministry has handed its resignation to
the queen?
“Probably within a few days, if peace
negotiations are not successful, the res
ignation of Sagasla will be officially
announced, fn that case a new cabinet
iis ready. Its principal members will
be the Duke of Almodovar, Senors Na

That, too, being the cotton of highest l
consideration in the markets, It Is the ■
specY'ti to which the Hawaiians nat
urally direct thrlr entire attention. ]
One of the best experiment* at sea Is- 1
land eolton raising in tue Islands was
begun Sept. 1, 1896. Tlw» seeds were;
deposited In the ordinary garden soil;
of Honolulu, and the plants cultivated j
in the same ay ss a field of cotton |
ould be worked in the South. The hills,!
or stalk stands, were three feet apart
each way. About tbo second week In
January, a little more than four
months after planting, harvest began.
The yield In ght was then an aver
age of over 10 bolls, or pods, to the
stalk—five times what Is, in the South,
considered a good crop. Harvest con
tinued until about March 1. In the
meantime new blooms and new pods
were constantly appearing.
DR. ANDREWS RESIGNS.
He Leaves Brown University for Good
Prof. Wheeler to Succeed Him.
■providence, R. 1., July 19.—Dr. E.
Benjamin Andrews ha* resigned his
place as president of Brown university,
his letter of resignation having been
received by the Rev. Dr. Anderson,
secretary of the board of trustees. The
letter, while not given out for publica
tion, Is a brief note addressed to the
corporation, saying that he resigns In
order to assume the duties of super
'eitendent of schools of Chlcogo. The
resignation is to take effect at once. A
special meeting of Ihe executive com- |
m it tee has been railed for today to
consider the matter.
The general Idea seems to be that no
definite nctlon will be taken looking to
the selection of a successor to Dr. An
drews till the regular annual meeting
of the corporation In September. Prof.
Wheeler of Cornell seems to be the fa
vorite candidate at this time, although
the Rev. Edward Judson and the Rev.
W. H. P. Faunee of New York are
both spoken of. The Rev. B. 1,. Whit
man, president of the Columbian uni
versity. Washington, is also mention
ed .
Dr. Andrews was elected president of
Brown In 1889. There has been more
or less friction almost through his en
tire administration, and his resignation
is received with relief in many quar
t*r*. .

On Rag Carpetings.
There Is so age of progreaaton in rag
J carpets, as In the more elaborate wirka
I <<f life. One may even go Into the
.mountains and learn many new things.
There the old women, who for years
J have been carpet-weavers, no longer
sew their woolen oand cotton strlpa to
gether for their rag balls, hut follow an
I Ingenious method of sitp-knotting two
lends together
j Cut the rags In strips 'about one-half
jlnci* broad. Knlp near each end of each
strip a UttM slit or opening large
[rereugh foe % rag strip to slip through.
Place the sllta of two strips to lie Join
ltd one over the other. Take the oppo-
I site end of one of them and pass It
j through both silts; pull the loop to-
I get her gently a.ul firmly: then it holds
]as thread never can. The mountain
eers of Maryland use thia plan in prei
,’A<nte!tY> the viWtlme style with satis
faction.
Extremely pretty tugs for the hath
room are made by htvvlng Italia of whlta
cotton strlpa woven upon a blue thread.
These ruga should be three yards in
length, and have fringe at the blue
thread at each end.
They wash easily, antff are very pret
, ty. ond quite repay the trouble of cut
ting up all the old bits of white cot
ton, which would otherwise descend to
the rag bag.
But all these simple fashions are not
to he mentioned in connection with tha
beautiful “catalon'' made by the weav
ers in QMebec, They manufacture the
most beautiful and 1 artistic carpets or
hanging* out of cott-re scraps, and It
Is well to know, now that there Is so
much travel Into tbe Queen’s domtnlon
In summer, that the Quebec weaver*
will work for » trifling price any quan
tjty of colored cotton, imto beautiful de
signs. It is not necessary either that,
the cotton goods sholl be prepared Into
strips for them, as there is no nddl
tlonal charge for cutting and piecing
out the balls. Quebec also makes a
specialty of silk portieres, and Its work
ers take the utmost pains in their com
binations of colors. Rag corpentines
have been called native American ta
pestry, and sometimes in out of the
way corners one comes upon an unex
pected display of native tnste.— Har
