EBENCH MARRIAGES.
MATRIMONY THE GREAT OBJECT TO
ALL GIRLS OF FRANCE.
Custom* In This Particular Hare Changed
Radically—At the Present Time the Per
sonal Inclinations of Young Women Are
Considered-
Miss Anna L. Bicknell is an English
lady who has had most unusual oppor
tunities for studying French life. For a
number of years she was a governess in,
the household of Napoleon 111 and re
sided in the Tuileries. For The Century
Miss Bicknell has written an article on
•'French Wives and Mothers.” Miss
Bicknell says:
The old manage de convenance, which
caused so much sorrow and consequent
evil in former days, when a girl was
taken out of a convent to be shown the
man to whom she was about to be mar
ried, is now a thing of the past. It must
be acknowledged, however, that mar
riages are still made up, often too has
tily and superficially, by nicely balanced
family arrangements and by the inter
vention of friends. Nevertheless, attrac
tion and repulsion are now taken into
consideration, and a girl is no longer
forcqd to marry a man whom she posi
tively dislikes. I could quote instances
in the very highest (historical) aristoc
racy where, at the last moment, after
the trousseau had been sent in (marked,
according to custom, with the united
initial letters of the two names elabo
rately embroidered) and all the social
preparations made, the marriage was
broken off because the bride had de
clared that she could not ‘‘get accus
tomed” to the bridegroom nor endure
the idea of seeing his face in her home
during her natural life. In one of these
instances the family lamentations over
the initials of the trousseau were really
amusing. Fortunately a substitute was
soon found whose name, like that of tho
rejected suitor, began with an X, and
the complications were thus happily
settled.
The great object of the French girl’s
life is marriage. From the time of her
birth her parents have prepared for this
event, and in many cases they have con
siderably straitened their income and
curtailed their enjoyments to make up
her dot. Every girl in every class is ex
pected to have something. Those who
have nothing are exceptions and consti
tute a minority of old maids. The girls
who from choice do not marry generally
become nuns, usually much against the
wishes of their parents. The old tales
of young women being forced into con
vents to improve the position of their
brothers are forgotten* in these days,
when, while no child can on any pre
tense be deprived of a share in the fa
ther’s inheritance, monastic vows are
not recognized by law. Nuns and spin
sters are exceptions; marriage is the
rule.
When a girl is of age to be introduced
into society, her friends and relatives
immediately look out for a suitable hus
band, whom it is considered highly de
sirable to obtain before she has reached
the age of 21, that she may not be pro
claimed fille majeure when the banns
are published. The principal considera
tions are equality of birth, of position,
of fortune, and in the last particular
the scale is usually expected to weigh
rather more on the side of the young
lady, especially if the young man, in
addition to sufficient present advantages,
can bring forward a number of relatives
not likely to live long. This is called
having hopes (desesperances—beaucoup
d’esperances). If the young lady with a
substantial dot can also show a satisfac
tory background of invalid uncles and
aunts, then everything is as it should
be, and the young people are brought
together with every prospect of a favor
able conclusion. It happens, however,
too often that they do not know each
other sufficiently, and that they are per
suaded to believe that tho mutual liking
is greater than it really is. Sometimes
this sort of undefined attraction ripens
into a deep and devoted love. When
this occurs, there are no more affection
ate wives or more faithful widows than
Frenchwomen.
More frequently, especially in the
higher classes, a sort of cool friendliness
springs up, where they see but little of
each other, and freedom is enjoyed on
both sides. The authority of the hus
band is less felt than in an English
household, jfhere is a sort of under
standing that in her home the wife is
queen and settles matters as she pleases.
But their best and warmest feelings
are awakened by all that concerns their
children. French parents are perhaps
the most affectionate in the world. The
interests and welfare of their children
are their first consideration, and won
derfnl sacrifices of their own pleasure
and enjoyment are made in favor of
their sons and daughters by the most
worldly men and women. These are
taken as a matter of course; no on?
thinks of doing otherwise or of seeing
any merit in such acts.
The mothers especially are unequal
ed. Nothing will stand in the way of a
Frenchwoman where her children’s in
terests are concerned. This love is so
engrossing that it swallows up every
other. They are more mothers than
wives, and if called upbn to choose be
tween allowing a husband to go alone
on a foreign mission or leaving their
children they would not hesitate. ‘‘Mes
enfants avant tout. ’ ’

DINAH-SALIFOU.
- •
The Ludlcroi, Adventure* of • Negro
King In Gay Part*.
Dinah-Salifou, formerly king of the
Nalous, died a few days ago in the Mili
tary hospital of St. Louis, In Senegal. It
may be remembered that only two sov
ereigns visited the French universal exhi
bition of 1880. Dinah-Salifou was one,
and the shah of Persia, the luxurious
Nasr-ed-din, was the other. They met one
day at tho exhibition. The shah looked at
his black cousin from head to foot and
then turned away in contemptuous silence,
• much to the surprise of the poor negro
monarch, who felt inclined to call him
out The shah, however, compensated for
the affront by presenting him with a mag
nificent saber, which Dinah-Salifou im
mediately suspended to his belt It was
the happiest day of his life, as Joseph
Prud’homme would have said. But, alas,
his happiness did not last long! There be
ing some doubt as to the authenticity of
tho African potentate, no reception was
prepared for his arrival, and lie had to
lodge in a small furnished apartment.
Every day our negro king, accompanied
by his queen, a corpulent lady dressed in
savage fashion, went out in an open cab
to visit the sights of Banis. Behind the
royal couple carnet their suit, which was
composed of half a dozen natives, all at
tired in what may be described as rags
and tatters, and grinning like so many
gorillas. His majesty knew nothing of
the French language beyond a phrase
which he had learned, and which he em
ployed on all occasions, from grave to gay,
from lively to severe. “Suis tres content”
(I am very contented) ..was the universal
phrase in question. One evening Dinah-
Salifou, together with his wife and at
tendants, went to the theater of the Porte
St. Martin. Tho king was dressed in a
long robe very much like a dressing
hat which resembled a wide awake,
with a tall crown, rod babouches, and by
his side tho saber which the shah had given
him. The queen wore a white dress, with
a necklace made of colored beads, and a
small hat of red and yellow velvet. As
regards their suit, they put on for tho oc
casion caftans of various colors, greasy and
patched up. One of the dignitaries had on
a pair of red trousers which evidently be
longed at one time to some French soldier.
Another was the treasurer of tho king
dom, who was considered to be a distin
guished personage.
His African majesty was a tall, well
built man, as black as ebony. Tho queen
was also tall and not without a certain
grace. But she was not so black as her
royal husband. The manager of the thea
ter did honor to his royal guests by plac
ing them in one of the prominent boxes,
from which they were able to sco tho whole
audience. “Suis tres content,” said the
king, showing his tongue and indicating
thereby that ho was thirsty. Beer was
brought to them, and as they drank it tho
orchestra struck up a “bamboula,” which
delighted them beyond measure. Tho per
formance passed off all right, save that tho
queen fell asleep and set to snoring so
loudly that she had to bo removed to a
back seat. The king preserved a more
dignified attitude. Upright and immobile,
with his right hand on his saber, he fol
lowed the representation. Now and then
he looked at the audience, and a few cries
of “Vive Dinah!” were raised, whereon
he bowed gracefully and exclaimed,- “Suis
tres content!” The news soon spread that
Dinah-Salifou and his suit were inside,
and in a few minutes tho theater was be
sieged by a large crowd curious to sec
them. When tho dark monarch appeared
at tho door, ho was greeted with all sorts
of cries, to which he responded by clap
ping his hands. It was some time before
tho royal couple and their attendants could
bo pushed into cabs, but, alas, such was
tho crowd that it was impossible to move
on. Tho police were powerless to clear the
way, and renewed cries of “Vive Dinah!
Vivo les morioauds!” echoed on all sides.
Dinah-Salifou seemed at first to be agree
ably surprised and shook tho hands of all
near him, exclaiming“Suistres content!”
but on seeing tho crowd jump on his cab
and take other liberties with himself and
wife he began to feel uneasy. Suddenly
he rose in great wrath and glaring fero
ciously at the crowd around him cried out
louder than ever, “Suis tres content!”
which, of course, only increased tho mer
riment of tho spectators. His fury grow
ing greu: r, he wanted to draw his saber
and charro tho crowd, but unfortunately
tho weapon was intended for show only
and had no blade. But for that some dis-
. aster might have occurred.
His misfortunes, however, did not end
here. A little’ ragamuffin, more audacious
than.the rest, seized hold of his majesty’s
crown and made off with it. The king
was about to descend from his carriage
and pursue tho urchin, but his queen kept
him back by tho tail of his caftan. Tho
disorder was now complete. A strong
force of police, however, soon arrived, and
tho crown was restored to its owner. Tho
crowd then made way for the royal vehicle,
and Dinah, who had recovered from his
indignation, saluted them. Tho latter
again shouted “Vivo Salifou!” while the
black monarch responded with cries of
“Suis tres content!” and so ended the royal
adventure.—Paris Letter in London Globe.
Funds Locked Up In Chancery.
The receipts and transfers into the su
preme court of judicature (England) dur
ing the year ended Feb. 29, 1896, were
£15,883,257 Is. Id. This sum, added to
the balance in hand on March 1, 1895,
makes a grand total of £76,768,417 Bs. sd.
After payments out of court to successful
claimants and others amounting to £17,-
035,648 14s. lOd. there remained in hand
in cash and securities on Feb. 29, 1896,
the large balance of £59,732,768 Bs. 7d.,
exclusive of a large item under the head of
“Foreign Currencies.” The proportion of
this balance which may be classed as “un
claimed” is not stated, but no less than
£2,827,822 13s. sd. has been appropriated
in the absence of claimants to various ob
jects. The consolidated fund is liable in
respect of this appropriation in the event
of legitimate heirs at any time substan
tiating their claims. The number of suit
ors’ accounts is 49,924, of which some
5,000 relate to funds unclaimed between
1720 and 1877
Tho funds in the supremo court of judi
cature (Ireland) on Sept. 80, 1896, were
£5,381,218 4s. Bd. In the chancery divi
sion there is a largo sum of unclaimed
money, but the exact amount is not stated.
More than £250,000, part of such un
claimed funds, has been appropriated to
ward the cost of building the law courts
and law library in Dublin.—Chambers’

GLORIES OF VENICE.
Among Them That of Dreaming thf D*J»
Aaay In a Oordola.
It Home In these day is too warm for
comfort, if Florence ia an oven perfectly
unbearable, there is one spot in Italy which
is as near perfection as one can hope to
find in this world. Venice, Venice the
golden, is in the height of its glory tn
these warm, summer days, when one can
float about all day and half through the
night in a poetic but at the same time
admirably comfortable ■ gondola, when the
sun deepens the tints of sky and water and
gilds the fairy like palaces, when the man
dolin and guitar tinkle until dawn under
the window of some fair inamorata, when
the Lido is a long strip of gold laved by
the refreshing sea, and the harshest sound
to be beard is the human voice—when, in
fact, life in Venice is the apotheosis of tho
doloe far nlente. .
However, if one be energetic there are
other ways of amusing oneself in the
Queen City of the Adriatic than by lotus
eating. The cases, chantants and other
wise, are in full swing, the theaters are
open, the social world still lingers, the
usual attractions to sightseers are open,
and there is the International Art exhibi
tion, which quite merits more than one
visit. Take, for example, the Japanese
exhibits, those delicious landscapes with a
blending of colors all their own; fascinat
ing, tender little women, and gems of
bronzes in which the Japanese have reach
ed such perfection, reproducing animals
and flowers with the most scrupulous ex
actness. There are examples of Japanese
art of the end of the eighteenth and be
ginning of the nineteenth century, espe
cially of the well known artists, Hokosal
and Otamaro. In utter contrast are the
British painters represented, and especially
the Scotch group, while the Russians, and
under some aspects the Austrians, have
distinguished themselves. Connoisseurs
in Italy, who until lately clung to old
prejudices, have been obliged to cast them
aside and acknowledge the pre-eminence
of these schools. In April there were 80,-
000 visitors to the exhibition, about 2,800
a day, and from all sources, sales of cata
logues, etc., (22,220 have been gathered in
during that month. The municipality of
Venice has bought 33 pictures in oils,
three statues and one water color for a
sum of $20,000. So far the Italian gov
ernment has made no purchases, much to
the indignation of the Venetians.—Pall
Mall Gazette.
The African Cook.
The Acoras, who are employed right
down the whole west coast of Africa,
thanks to the valuable education given by
the Basel mission, as cooks, carpenters
and coopers, cannot resist fishing, let their
other avocations be what they may. A
friend of mine the other day had a new
Accra cook. The man cooked well, and
my friend vaunted himself, and was con
tent for the first week. At the beginning
of the second week the cooking was still
good, but somehow or another there was
just a suspicion of a smell of fish about the
house. The next day the suspicion merged
into certainty. The third day the smell
was insupportable and the atmosphere un
fit to support human life, but obviously
healthy for flies.
The coek was summoned and asked by
her Britannia majesty's representative
where the smell came from. He said he
could not smell it and he did not know.
Fourth day, thorough investigation of the
premises revealed the fact that in the
back yard there was a large clotbeshorse
which had been sent out by my friend’s
wife so that he could have his clothes
aired. This was literally converted into a
screen by strings of fish in the process of
drying—i. e., decomposing in the sun.
The affair was eliminated from the do
mestic circle and cast into the ocean by
seasoned natives, and awful torture in this
world and the next promised to the cook
if ho should ever again embark in the fish
trade. The smell gradually faded from the
house, but the poor cook, bereft of his
beloved pursuit, burst out all over in boils
and took to religious mania and drink
and so had to be sent back to Accra, where
I hope he lives happily, surrounded by his
beloved objects.—Miss Kingsley in Na
tional Review.
Netting the Native*.
Here is a good yarn explaining how
whalers get native crews:
“When a whaler is fitted outfrom home,
she takes her officers, boatswains and a
few foremast bands and steers for the
western islands (Azores). Arrived there,
a boat i? lowered and a box of new boots
put in it. Tho crew pull ashore into some
convenient little bay surrounded by woods,
and, landing, they open the box of boots
and stand them all along in a row. Then
one man begins at one end of the row and
pulls all the boots on and off again one
after the other. They then board their
boats and pull off around the point out of
sight, and the natives, who have been
watching them from the woods, come
down and try the boots on. When tfeje offi
cer in charge of the boat thinks they have
had time enough to be fitted, he comes
back, and the poor ’Gees, being unable to
run with the boots on, ore easily captured
and carried off whaling. I know th|s to
be a fact, for the whalers told me of it
themselves.”—“On Many Seas,” by Fred
erick Benton Williams.
Foul Breath and How to Treat It.
Foul breath comes from several causes
—viz, digestive disturbances, bad teeth.and
certain forms of catarrh. If foul diges
tion, it comes from the stomach, and in
that case the stomach should be washed
out or otherwise sweetened and a mild
diet adopted until the stomach clears it
self. If from the teeth, it usually cornel
from a cavity in which food lodges and
decomposes. This is deleterious to health,
aside from being disagreeable, and should
be remedied by consulting a good dentist.
If from catarrh, it is generally the atroplc
kind, in which there is usually a good
deal of dryness to tho throat The secre
tions become morbid and cling to the mu
cous membrane, decomposing and form
ing a crust, usually In the posterior nares,
or vault, of the pharynx. This Is a very
troublesome form of catarrh and should
lead to a consultation with a specialist A
spray of peroxide of hydrogen mixed with
water, equal portions, will destroy all
odors. An applioation of carbolized vase
line has also been found to be of great
service.—Home Doctor.
Golden SUenee.
On one occasion Mr. J. M. Barrie found
himself sitting at dinner beside a literary
celebrity with whom he was well aoqualnt
ed. After the conventional salutation,
Mr. Barrio turned to bis companion and
asked:
“Do you feel like talking?”
“No, I do not,” was the prompt reply.
“No more do I,” answered Barrie. And
It is told of the twain that neither ex
changed a word with the other during the
whole progress of the'dinner.

JAPAN'S WOMEN.
They Have Been ■ Organising to Secure
Ffaeir Bigfate.
“The Japanese Indies are really organis
ing at last. They are beginning a strong
movement to amend the Japanese laws so
that a Japanese gentleman that supports
another woman besides hi* legal wife oan
be arrested. The law* an now one sided
—yes, very much one sided. The Japanese
husband oan have as many outside wives
as he pleases; not regular wives, you un
derstand. Japan law lets the husband
marry only one wife. Otherwise be Is
guilty of bigamy, same as here.”
This announcement of woman’s inde
pendence in the land of silent wives and
maidens that won’t be kissed came
recently at the Hotel Ryan from S.
Kishi, a young attorney of Tokyo. Mr.
Kishi having practiced some time in his 1
own city, resolved to venture forth into
western lands to sec how it was possible
for lawyers to make an honest living in
Europe and America. The study of this
intricate problem detained Mr. Kishi six
weeks in San Francisco, throe months in
Milwaukee and some weeks in Chicago.
He has now arrived in St. Paul, where he
will enter the law department of the Great
Northern railroad and remain several
months. Eventually ho will proceed to
Europe.
“Formerly," continued the smiling,
White toothed law pilgrim, “that is to say,
up to 25 years ago, a Japanese gentleman
could have as many informal wives as be
wished.' He was rather proud of them and
showed them in public. Now sentiment
has so changed that ho keeps them hid
away. He would be thought very Immoral
to exhibit them la public. Yet he cannot
bo punished by law, but this exception in
favor of the men Is likely to be done away
with. There is a commission now revising
our civil code. That code ia based upon
the Code Napoleon, not on the English
common law. Our commercial code, how
ever, is modeled after the commercial code
of Germany.
“But it Is natural for woman to want
lees than man in Japan. Wo consider that
she is equal to man in quality, but not in
quantity. That is the way wo express it
And she is always by nature different
Man is strong, rough, brave. Woman
is weak, gentle, gracious, timid. She
must attend to her homo. Man must go
out Into business, Into government, Into
war. We do not mix occupations as you
do here. For example, the men ride bi
cycles In Japan very much more now than
before, but the women—never. A woman
astride of a bicycle! It would bo too rude,
too bold. She should be at home, not
showing herself upon the streets.
“Her costume? Oh, it is almost always
Japanese. Years ago, perhaps ten years,
one of our cabinets thought they would
help Japan abroad by persuading our peo
ple to dress like Europeans. Evon the
court ladles began to wear foreign dresses.
But tho cabinet went down. The women
took back their native costumes. Now a
Japanese lady most always wears her an
cient costume. We find that your dresses
are not convenient, as our women sit
about on the floors of our little houses.
But the Japanese men are using the Euro
pean clothes very generally in our cities—
that is, for business in government offices
and in the professions. But when the
men get home they take off these clothes
and put on the good old Japanese robes.
Then we are comfortable.”—St. Paul Pio
neer Press.
“Arranging” a Landscape.
The composition of a landscape photo
graph requires as much care as any other
picture, though beginners in photography
usually think that a landscape, being com
posed of stationary objects, cannot be ‘Ur
ranged” in any special way. This is true,
but if the landscape cannot be moved the
camera can, and by shifting it a little to
the right or left an artistic picture may be
made of what would boa most uninter
esting scene if the point of view were not
well chosen.
In a general landscape view the camera
should be adjusted so that the horizon line
will bo about a third of the way from the
top or bottom of the picture. If the hori
zon line is nearer the bottom than the top,
there should be plenty of clouds in the sky
to give variety to the picture. In case
there are no clouds in the sky they can be
printed Into the picture from a cloud neg
ative.
The line of the horizon should never
run straight across the picture, but must
be broken up as much as possible by ob
jects which rise above it
According to artists' laws, the lines of
a picture should either run diagonally or
be arranged in a pyramidal form.
It the lines run diagonally the tallest
objects should be at one side of the pic
ture, and if they are to bo in pyramidal
form have the tallest point a little to one
side of the center of the picture. By mov
ing the camera a few feet either way this
effect is easily obtained.
A picture should never be divided In the
center by any prominent object, like a
tree, a house, etc. Pictures of this kind
are very trying to look at, giving the effect
of two pictures on one card.—Harper’s
Round Table.
Hopelea*.
A Mr. X. wished to have a telephone
put in his bouse, but his aged mother vig
orously protested against it. “Robert,”
she said, “If you bring one of those dread
ful things In here I’U never close my eyes
for fear It may break out and sweep us all
into eternity, and us not a bit the wiser."
Mr. X. tried to persuade her that It was
a most harmless instrument, but she said:
“No, no. Look at the thousands—aye,
millions—of poor Hindoos it killed last
autumn." “Why," exclaimed he, “that
wasn’t a telephone, mother I That was a
typhoon.” But the timid old lady lowered
her spectacles, and, looking at him over
the rims thereof, said: “ You need not try
to make a fool of me, Robert. I perhaps
don’t know very much, but I do know
that the typhoon is the emperor of Japan. ”
Mr. X. gave it up as a hopeless case.—
