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 »tetet ftMi lift tuft ftftftfti ift Wfcft tw* ft* *ftft f | F*Nftteft ftl# Iftftft ‘tel [fffitoMteto* ftl tftft ftp* *# I# ft# #■##• , Ift* ift# ftftteftftteft ft## fttftteftftft Ift ft* ’ I I tftft ftftNiftftft ft#### ftMP# ftftftP MM* ft#* I [ftftftftftteftl ft ft###### tm ft** ftteftft t#' s | j *4M ft tftft tftt Ift# tftft ftP 1 ft* fti* I fft#i «ft» ftftft-iMift ftteft** #• mm* |, ftftj lift Hum fttet HffW te #**#% ftft ftft tft I IMtffftfttftl Cm IHftft. | Ift H*tft'*> (Mm fMDtftPMffi ft!

"Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years she with stood Its severe tests, hut her vital or gans were undermined and death seem ed Imminent. For three months she coughed Incessantly and could not sleep. She finally discovered a way to 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 night i and with two bottles has been absolutely cured.

THE WAR (10E5 ON. No Cessation of Hostilities Till the ( Winter Sets in [Special to The Herald.] Washing.on. July 19.—Several con gressmen who have held a number of conversations with the highest govern- j ment officials declared this morning that they hardly looked for the csssa-, tion of hostilities until the winter. They ( understand that the attack on Havana : will not be made till the end of Oc-, loiter. One Hundred and Fifty Converts L. McConnell closed the revival ser vices which he has carried on here for nearly three weeks, last Thursday eve ning. The large tent In which the nn t ings were ire Id fell Wednesday might and the last sermons were held in the Methodist church. Mi. McConnell preaches in a way peculiarly his own. His thoughts are original, his illustra tions dear and forcible, and his ser- , mens are delivered with an eloquence and earnestness which seldom foil to bring sinner’s to Chrisr.

KANSAS TRAIN ROBBERY. Two Men Get S4OO and Kill a Farmer Who Tr!.-)d to Stop Them. Wichita, Kaus., July 19. —The pas senger train on the San Francisco line was held up and robbed at Andover, a I flag t,lotion nine miles east of here, on | Saturday night, by l>vo masked men. Four hundred dollars was secured from .the expires ear. One man pointed a six shooter at Express Messenger Davis. The otbet walked over to the safe which was standing open, and took out two packages of money. About $409 was in the two packages. The m. n then l-acked out of the ear. They es caped In the darkness, but not before Donaldson, who wns standing on tho depot platform, hnd tried to Intercept them, when the larger of the two men shot him. Then they made for a thick et cn the east side of the track anj rotl. - - away. Donaldson then fell,upon the- platform and died In n few minutes. A crowd quickly gathered and a dis patch -vos sent for help. Deputy Sheriff Duncan with a posse left at cnee for the sc’ne. The agent at Andover said that the men had been hanging around the deoot for some time, but just before -the train was dun nt 9.40 they loft. From his description It Is Frllcvod that they are the same men who held up the tcaln at Danville, Kan., -the other night. Their horses, guns and descriptions tally. One Is short and stocky, the other tall. The agent was nearly hit by a ball which crcashed through tho window. The tali that killed Donaldson passed clear through his body. The robbers made no attempt to go through the passenger coaches. Officers are hot ts ter them, but up to date no further n* forint; tioti has been received. ENGAGED TO THE SAME GIRL.

Efforts Likely to Be Made to Stimulate It* Production. New York, July 19.—Efforts are like ly to be made shortly to stimulate the cultivation of cotton in the Hawaiian ; islands, especially of aea (aland cotton. The general soil of the. country meets' perfectly the requirements of the sea] Island product, and tbe climate la cer ta.nly as favorable as any In the world. ] 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 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 per's Bazar.
