FRANCE W OF
AS SHE IS.
Habits and Customs of the French
People Today.
SOME VERY PECULIAR LAWS-
Relating to InsuranceanJ Marriage
—A Prosperous Country—An
Interesting Interview.
Augusta Chronicle.
Mr. Charles P, Pressly, formerly
deputy consul to Bordeaux and
also vice and deputy consul at
Marseilles, France, during the ad
ministrations of President Cleve
land, is in the city, a guest of Col.
T. G. Barrett, on lov e Broad ,-treet
Mr. Pressly was stationed in P'rance
as Uncle Sam’s representative for
seven years, and is thoroughly fa
miliar with the habits and customs
of the French people. Mr. Pressly
went into the consular service ex
pecting to make it a lifetime busi
ness. A gentleman of unusual
ability, he prepared himself for the
service and when appointed was
well equipped for the position to
which he was appointed. Under
the constantly changing adminis
trations, however, the position of
consul or deputy is one of uncer
tainty. Each one of the two great
political parties has so many men
to reward that the personnel these
foreign positions is constantly un
dergoing changes. In speaking of
this matter yesterday to a Chron
icle reporter Mr. Pressly said he
thought these consulate positions
should come under civil service
rules, and that applicants should be
required to stand a competitive ex
amination. “I can say this unsel
fishly now,” said he, “as I am no
longer in the service. It is folly
to appoint men to represent this
government in countries the lan
guage of which is unfamiliar to
those appointed. Such practices
bring our country into disrepute
among the nation. And then, by
the time a man has mastered the
language and has acquainted him
self with the duties of the position
he occupies, he is succeeded by
some one who nas an these mings
to learn.”
‘ “Tell us something about the
customs of the French people—
their laws, habits, etc.,” said the
reporter.
“Well, many of the customs
which seemed very strange to me
when I first arrived became very
commonplace before I came away.
It would be hard, in a brief news
paper interview, to give many of
these peculiarities. I will mention
one singular law in reference to fire
insurance. If a man rents a house
he must have it insured in his own
name, as a matter of protection to
himself, even though insured by
his landlord. If it is in a thickly
settled community he must take
out two different policies on the
houses of his next door neighbors.
This is called a neighbor’s risk. If
a house is burned, on which there
is a policy of insurance standing
in the name of the owner, the pol
icy is paid and the insurance com
pany sues the tenant for the amount
and makes him show cause of the
fire. If caused by any of his own
or his family’s or servant's careless
acts he must pay the claim. If his
neighbor’s houses are burned he
must pay for them also. It is to
protect himself against these con
tingencies that a man insures. The

“ I was a great sufferer from female
weakness and had no strength. It was
impossible for me to attend to my
household duties. I had tried every
thing and many doctors, but found no
relief.
“ My sister advised me to try Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
which I did; before using all of one
bottle I felt better. I kept on with it
and to my great surprise I am cured.
All who suffer from female complaints
should give it a trial."— Mbs. Rock

Rapids, Mich.
From • Grateful Newark Woman*
“ When I wrote to you 1 was very
sick, had not been well for two years.
The doctors did not seem to help me,
and one said I could not live three
months. I had womb trouble, failing,
ulcers, kidney and bladder trouble.
There seemed to be such a drawing
and burning pain in my bowels that I
could not rest stoywhere. After using
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com

premium rates are very low, how
ever, and the obligation is not as
burdensome as it .would seem.
This law has a tendency to decrease
fires very materially, as it makes
tenants and servants more careful
than they would be otherwise.
“Another peculiar law of the
French people relates to mariiage.
If a man desires to marry, he must
produce the written consent of both
parents, if living, and certificates of
their deaths, if dead. No matter
how old a man may be this
law makes no exception to his
case. It applies to both sexes
alike, and causes much annoyance
to foreigners who desire to inter
marry among the French, as it is
frequently difficult for a foreigner
to produce the necessary papers.
“France is a prosperous country.
Its farms are exceedingly well
tilled. A man who owns 20 acres
is wealthy. The cereals are grown
and vegetables are produced in
abundance. The princip 1 diet of
a Frenchman is a little cheese, a
pone of bread and a bottle of wine.
Good wine can be purchased for
Bor 10 cents a quart. They eat
meats only on Thursday am 1 Sun
days—the fete days. The schools
do not observe Saturdays, but the
fete days instead. The farms are
tilled like gardens. Our own In
dian corn is not as generally cul
tivated as it is in America. Roast
ing ears are not eaten, being con
sidered poisonous. Sweet potatoes
are not extensively cultivated.
Neither are squash and okra.
“The wheat crop this year was a
failure. One feature of the French
laws is that when any one of the
staple products of that country is
a failure, the tariff is removed
from that product, which is admit
ted.free. The tariff on wheat has
been abolished for this year, and the
country is being supplied from the
United States and other coun
; r es. ’
Mr. Pressly is an interesting
talker. He has promised us a
series of articles at a later date
which will be well worth reading.
MARRIED MAN-
Miss Sadies Drown Jilts a Million
aire on Principle.
Washington, June 27. —Fiction
itself has hardly produced a more
dramatic climax to a romance than
the marriage to-night, of John F.
McComas, a clerk in the Land
Office, to Miss Sadie Florence
hi \J W ii, U OiO LV_ iv, x 1 /\J C tOr J v/iiii ii ,
Drown.of St. Louis. In defense of
a principle the bride sacrificed an
immense fortune, for six months
ago sTe pledged herself to marry
on this same night James Kr r,
heir to the vast estates of his la
ther, the millionaire soapmaker.
Until June 1 the relations be
tween Mr. Kirk and his fiancee
seemed of the most amicable kind.
But on June 6 Miss Drown had an
nounced to all her friends that she
had resolved to marry another man.
Mr. Kirk had been married before
and divorced. Miss Drown said
she would never marry a man who
was then paying alimony to a di
vorced wife.
Miss Drown announced that she
was engaged to John F. McComas,
a clerk in the Land Office of the
Department of the Interior. She
Said she would marry him in the
same church, on the same day and
at the same hour she had contracted
to marry Mr. Kirk.
Mr. McComas for six months
had been the neighbor of Miss
Drown. He had known her only
that long. On the day that she jil
ted Kirk he found her in tears.
He insisted on knowing the reason.
Miss Drown told him, and he ask
ed her to marry him, She hes
itated and then agreed. To-night’s
wedding was the result.

Was in the Business-
It was on a Cleveland street car
that a well dressed man carried his
hand to his jaw now and then and
uttered a stifled groan. After a
bit a fellow-passenger had his cu
riosity aroused and brusquely que
ried;
“Toothache.”
“Yes.”
“I’ve been there and know all
about it. If she’s holler and has
the jumps, it ain’t no use fooling
around. W hat you want to do is
to go to a dentist.”
"Um! erusha, but how it aches!,”
“Go right to the dentist and have
it yanked out. Man with the
toothache always feels a little
scared about having it yanked, but
that’s all imagination, you know.”
“I’d lather be shot," groaned
the sufferer.
“Oh pshaw! Go to some dentist
who gives laughing gas and take
the tooth out without you knowing
it. I pledge you my word it wont
hurt any more than paring a finger
nail.”
“Um! What a liar. Go away
from me."
“Why, man, I pledge you my
word that you'll—”
“Don’t talk to me. I know nil
about it! I’ve been a dentist my
self for the last fifteen years!’
“Oh you have” growied the
other as he backed away. “Well
that’s different. It will not oulv
seem to you as your blamed old
head was being pulled off vour
shoulders, but . o r jaw will ache
two weeks after, and I am durned
glad of it, too!”
The profit of a gold mine de
pends, not on the amount of rock
crushed under the stamps but up
on the amount of gold which can
be extracted from the rock. In a
similar way the yalue of the food
which is eaten does not depend on
the quantity which is taken into
the stomach but upon the amount
of nourishment extracted from it
by the organs of nutrition and di
grestion. When these organs are
diseased they fail to extract the
nourishment in sufficient quantities
to supply the needs of the several
organs of the body, and these or
gans cannot work without nourish
ishments. The result is heart
“trouble,” liver “trouble,” and
many other ailment. Dr. Pierce’s
