"Does he know you?'' the attendant asked.

In a few moment tho president and the

FUEXCII MARRIAGES.
SENTIMENT CONCERNING PERSONS
WHO MARRY A SECOND TIME.
A Memorable Sorle of Sermon It u I en
of Good Taitu anil Ktl(jn;tte Simple
Attire of tho Ilrble Silver und Golden
AVcddiiiM.
French marriago cu?.toms nro now well
known, so far as they relate to first innr
l iagt;ri, but as regards second marriages very
little has yet been written. Perhaps these
marriages lack t l.o romantic clement w hich
in all human u.'Tiiir.- is tho sauce piquant that
"lilts tho flavor." This may explain why no
littl ) notice is taken of them. Thero is a de
cided dispo-ilion in Trance, to regard those
who marry en wondes mjees as hardened
pinners or as imbeciles undeserving, of sym
pathy. Tho jiopular .sentiment on thesuhjiM-t
is to tho effect that a person has only tho
right to bo born once, to marry once and to
die once. TLoh v. ho show a wish to undergo
any of these operations twieo nro sus;iected of
gourmandiz". It niuvt bo admitted, however,
that public opinion ro-pecting second mar
riages is much more generous with regard to
tho tuuu than with regard to tho woman.
There is a social and religious prejudice
against tho second marriage of women,
especially when t!ie-o havo reached middle
age and have children.
Tho religion f prejudice was remarkably
illustrated a few years ago by I'ero Didon,
who, in tho cour-e of t ho memorable series of
pennons that he preached in Paris, and which
obtained for him the severe censure of tho
general of tin; I)..:iiinicurii and temporary
relegation to !'. little island in tho Mediterra
nean as hw pi nance, attacked tho practice of
the second iiinrriago of women willi a vehe
mence that profoundly astonished thocongre
gat ion, among w horn were some people w ho
considered the sermon a grossly personal at
tack. The eloquent Dominican had not done
what tho I-ti:i proverb advises the discreet
cobbler to do -he had goue beyond his la'-t.
He hail no authority to uo a pulpit for abus
ing women who entered for the second time
the matrimonial state. Tho sermon was
printed iu exteu :o iu some of tho papers, and
made a prodigious commotion. People asked
why the Dominican father was so hard iqion
women and so lenient toward men. The ilis
cussion took a turn that was not exactly
theological. Xow, although Poro Didon was
very imprudent in expressing his opinions so
strongly, he nevertheless caught up and put
into wordj a floating religious idea, and ono
that is by no moans of recent date.
fiOOU TASTE AND KTIQUUTTE.
There are certain rules of good taste and
etiquette with regard to se-.-oinl marriages in
Franco which tiro usually observed by the
educated classes. Tho whole ceremonial must
be quiet and uiax-tentatious. The festive- pre
parations must bo on a modest scale. It is
not considered becoming for the bridegroom
and brido to appear very happy. They must
be soda to and calm, with an expression of re
cii' ilii;m:nt in their faces. Something is due.
to tiie memory of the dear departed. This is
especially tli" case if a lady is a widow. She
docs not. take from her linger the ring placed
there by her first husband. Her second souse
would bo considered a man of bud feeling and
bad taste if he objected to this mark of re
spect paid to his predecessor. Moreover, if
tiu lady has children the first ring must be re
tained out of regard for tho memory of their
father, and so-would be passing a slight upon
tiiem by taking it oif. If theso children
are grown up they must not keep aloof from
the wedding pirf v, but must be present at
the ceremony. They are not expected to
look joyful, but their absence would givo
rise to scandal. The religious services must
lie very simple .vithout floral decorations or
sinking. The widow at her second marriage
must not wear gray or mauve, for such colors
would bd sUiZ0olive of half mourning, which
her second husband might not take to be a
delicate allusion to himself. Rose color is
also forbidd -n, on the ground that it is too
gay. The headdress t-hottld be a black or
white niantiila, with a few flowers scattered
over it certainly not orange flowers, which
can only bo worn once on such occasions, nor
chrysanthemums and seabiouses, which are
termed "widows' flowers." A breakfast or
a dinner follows the religious ceremony, but ,
no ball is given in the etise of a second mar
riage. Silver marriages are very pleasing festi
vals in France. When a couple have com
pleted twenty five years of married life the
event is celeb rat-.'.l with all t'uo show of joy
and festivity possible. In the first place,
thero is a religious ceremony in church,
wiiih has a good deal of the outward form
of a genuine wedding. The lady is again
called the bride, and her toilet is superb, sup
posing her position in the world justifies it.
The flowers which she is expected to wear aro
large white ox eyes known in France ns
reines marguerites. The bridegroom wears a
dress coat. The pair are surroc.nded by their
children and grandchildren if there are any.
All relations are invited, for a grand family
muster is considered essential. A dinner is
given, followed by a bail, which is opened by
the newly remarried couple, the lady dancing
with her eldest son and her husband with his
eldest daughter. Golden weddings aro much
rarer thau sih ei weddings. Death only al
lows a very sm.-.ll proportion of married peo
ple to livo tfry years together. The cere
mony is the sr.me as in the case of silver
weddings. There are now great-grandchild- '
ren as well as grandchi'dren present, and the
old people open the ball with the eldest of tho
last generation of their decendants. Paris

show that they were much t he same as the

that limo was used as it is used now, and that

AGAINST SEWER GAS. 3
WARNING WORDS CONCERNING OR
DINARY DRAIN OR CESSPOOL AIR.
Kvil tflVct "Which Aro Cumulative Iu
the Human fcyntcui The Wont Gmm
Ofton Odjilei Kartlt . Closot Twu
Sanitary Injunctions.
Sewer gas is not a t-implo substance of uni
form composition, but it varies in its consti
tuents at different places and at different
times, while its effects are not always tho
same upon different individuals or under
changing circumstance. Ordinary drain or
cesspool air, in its usual state of dilution, is
not deadly, otherwise nioht American house
holders would always bo ill. Tho fact that
thousand of por.-.on aro living amid leaky
drain pipes, without serious annoyance,
proves that some forms of sewer gas are less
hurtful than others.
An ordinary privy is harmless, but a tight
cesspool, even if it contains only kitchen
grease, may creatu sufficient poUon to des
troy a whole family. Is'ot long since throe
men were overcome on entering a cesspool at
Newark, M. J., and two of them died from
suffocation. At Cleveland, O., a similar
catastrophe occurred.
Tho bad odor of sower gos is duo mainly to
sulphuretted hydrogen, which causes debility,
boils and similar skin diseases, but onu may
breathe this compound in tho chemist's
laboratory with impunity. If a i erson, how
ever, is exposed for h long time to such influ
ences tha effect is cumulative and may ren
der him loss liable to rusist infection.
On tho other hand, habit may exert some
influence in the mntter. Any ono on entering
a crowded theatre or school, or a room filled
with tobacco smoke, will feel discomfort and
hardly bo able to brettho, yet iu a few min
utes tho senso of annoyance will disappear
unless tho person has very delicate lungs.
Men working in sewers feel no bud effects
from their surroundings, and persons actively
occupied aro less liable than others to suffer
from breathing sewer gas. Plumbers com
plain mostly of rheumatism caused by damp,
but they aro often sickened by inhaling foul
air when working over open drains. Women
und children and others who ltad a sedentary
lifo are most subject to this poison.
Sewer gas may be created whero thero is
neither a sewer nor a cesspool. Every inch of
waste pipo that has been long coated with
grease, soup or slime will evolve offensive
odors unless it is well flushed or ventilated.
Certain forms of bottle or reservoir traps are
oaly miniature cesspools. So long as thero is
a ehanco for filth to putrefy foul air will bo
thrown off. All the elements for fermenta
tion aro present in waste pipes be at, moisture
and animal matter. Ia an ordinary basin
waste tho hot water, soap and scurf from tha
skin are sufficient material to utart deconupo
sit ion.
Much also depends upon the condition of
the individual. If in robust health he may
live unharmed for years amid unwhole-omo
conditions, but if prostrated by a slight ill
ness, or depressed, by worry or futigue, a
single whiff of sewer gas may bring ou seri
ous results. A slight cold, iu that case, may
develop into diphtheria, or an ordinary fever
assume a typhoid form.
Tho risk of breathing sewer gas is not from
the amount of bad odor perceptible. The
worst gases aro often odorless. To quote a
high authority, "there is always danger in
breathing sewer air, and this danger is not
in proportion to the amount of bad odors
present, nor can it always bo overcome by
being much in the open air. The danger is
not so much a great probability of evil as a
small probability of great evil."
Many persons are uot susceptible to bad
odors; others think such odors are not harm
ful unless they are very strong. Still others
become habituated to smells which, to a vis
itor, seem very offensive. A faint, fetid,
nauseating odor, which comes in slight puffs
from a wash basin or bath overflow, ia al
ways to be feared. A stench, as from a
barnyard or swill tub, is merely annoying.
It is not asserted that filth alone can create
disease. Foul pig stys do not generate ty
phoid fever, nor is a simple stench unwhole
some. It is fermenting or putrescent filth
which is dangerous to health, and the infec
tion is believed to be due to specific germs of
disease, which have been transmitted from
some patient through the agency of air,
water, niiik or other food.
Whero dependence is placed upon cesspools
these must be made tight to guard against
the change of soil and well pollution, and
abundant ventilation must bo provided. All
cesspools are abominations and makeshifts at
lest, and the sooner they are aboliohed tho
better. Almost any other method of sewer
age is preferable. Earth closets are practica
ble in small communities or single dwellings,
while what is known as the sub-irrigation
system may be applied in homes which now
depend upon cesspools.
"Ventilate!" "Ventilate I" "Ventilate!"'
should be rung into tho ears of every house
holder. One cannot have too much air within
his drainage system. Air is nature's disin
fectant and surpasses all others. It i3 a safe
guard against leaks, rat holes, cracks, evap
oration and tha ordinary wear and tear to
which all mundane things are subject Let
the interior of drains be constantly purified
by a steady current of atmospheric air pass
ing through them, and diluting their con
tents, and there ncsd be no anxiety about
6ewer gas.
Col. Waring's "Perfect Sanitary Formula"
embraces two injunctions: First, to allow no
organic decomposition within tho dwelling or
within drain under unhcalthful conditions;
second, to allow no drain air to enter the
house under any circumstances.
I would add to these tho following: Drain,
purify and ventilate; eradicate every hint of
dampness from the site and foundations; do
not store up anything capable of decomposi
tion, within or about your dwelling; let the
hidden things bo revealed; use plenty of hot
water, soap and elbow grease; let the broom
and scrubbing brush be the scepters of djmes
tic supremacy; take nothing for granted, and
remember that eternal vigilance is the price
of health, as of liberty; distrust amateur ad
vice on matters of health; test all things, but
hold fast to that which is good r.nd in accord
with common sense. Charles F. Wingate in
Youth's Companion.
Resident Foreigners In Fehinjj.
All foreigners reside ia the Tartar city, but
tho glimpse we got of it was not more en
couraging than what wo had seen beyond its

The streets, ungraded and unpaved, are dust
swept iu winter, and quagmires in summer,
with green suffocating pools in the hollows,
that would create a pestilence ia any ether
climate. The heavy cart wheels siuk into
bottomless pits during the wet season, and
people have actually been drowned in the
streets. The odors then beggar description,
nor are they improved ia the dry season,
when, to lay the blinding dust, the sewers aro
opened, and every afternoon tho liquid from
them is dashed recklessly about by means cf
a long pole with a bucket at the end! Gar
bage and slops are thrown ia front 6f the
houses, and the city scavengers, dogs, rag

GOT THE BUCK FEVER."
An Amatenr Hunter's I'imt Shot at m
Detr Too Slow 911 Trigger.
Did you ever hear Frank Levan tell Lis; ex
perience with that deer up tho country when
he was determined not to get the "buck
fever I" Well, Frank went up iu the moun
tains with a crowd of old and new hunters.
All preparations having liecti made, the deer
sluyers went out to look for fresh vrninon.
They succeeded in wounding a deer that af
ternoon and killing two more, tin old hunters
doing tho work. Daikness coming on, tho
hunters concluded to wait until next morning
to Fearch for the wounded deer. Accordingly
next morning they started on the truck of
the deer and followed it a long way until
they btrr.ck u small stream between two high
bill;. Here ths cantum divided the party
into squads of two and three and gave them
directions as to how they should proceed in
order to come up with tho deer.
As it happened Devan wus ono of tho men
placed on the left of tho stream and was or
dered to bo oxtrce'ely careful to avoid all
noi.so and excitement and above all not to get
tho "buck fever." Frank proceeded lo carry
out his instructions mid walked along the
stream with the pace of u snail and the trend
of a fox. Having gone as far as ho consid
ered it his duty to go and seeing no signs of a
deer or other animal he stopped beside a large
fallen tree to survey tho laudscaiKj o'er.
Stepping 011 to the log ho was engaged in a
careful scrutiny of tho surrounding hills
when ho was impelled by some iuwurd feeling
to turn his eyes iVehind him. From that mo
ment he was transformed from an ordinary,
discouraged hunter into a hero, for ho byheld,
not thirty feet from him, a live deer thatstood
looking at him and flapping its largo eurs as
if it wished to discover by sight and sound
the nature of tho object before it.
Never having had such an experiences be
fore Levan began to think that ho was going
to have smile fun and tho honor of killing his
first deer. Ho was armed with a rillo of
about live pounds' pull, but ho had never shot
one of those guns off. Deliberately und qui
etly he drew the rillo to his shoulder and took
aim at tho deer's head, saying frequently to
himself, "You're my meat." Having aimed
several times at the deer's head ho concluded
that he would not run tho risk of missing it
and have tho boys laugh ot him, so ho low
ered tho gun until the sights were aimed for
the heart of tho deer, and ho continued to
point tho gun at tho deer and remark:
"You're my meat,"' for a minute or more,
being under tho impression that the animal
was good to stand in that position for a day
or two. At last having made up his mind to
pull tho trigger, Frank steadied his nerves
and mentally congratulated himself upon not
getting the buck fever.
Then, ho says, he pulled that trigger back
at least threo inches, and just us he began to
fear that the trigger was made of elustic and
would never stop going backward tho deer
gave a bound liko a football struck by a tX'O
pound man und landed half way up the side
of tho mountain. At tiie same timo Levan's
arms went t;y and tho rillo was discharged in
the air, the bullet passing over the mountain
into the next township. When tho other
hunters came to help cut tho deer up Frank
told them that he hadn't bit it, as ho only had
a snap shot and had no chance of killing it.

A Coming Financial Napoleon.
Banks are viewed as public conveniences
and receive their charters as such. They have
got to be quite personal iu their utility, how
ever. Excepting in the smaller banks it is
next to impossible for a man with moderate
means to open an account unless he happens
to be backed by influence tho bank does not
care to antagonize. 1 went recently with a
friend of mine who wanted to open an ac
count in a state bank that does a heavy busi
ness in private accounts for tho tradesmen
and wrealihy people in a good neighborhood.
My friend is a beginner in business, to whouf
an account is a necessity. He had $2,000,
chiefly in checks, to open fire with. The
president happening to bo away ho fell into
the clutches .f the cashier. That magnate
listened to his overtures disdainfully.
"How much do you wish to open an account
with?"' he asked.
The sum was named and tho cashier mani
fested open amusement.
"Tho fact is," said he, "that we do not care
to handle such small amounts. Besides we
do not allow an account to be drawn under
000. We would like to oblige Mr. X." tho
gentleman from whom the would le depositor
brought an introduction "but, really"
At this juncture the president of the insti
tution nrriveed, and, happening to be a
personal acquaintance of my friend and my
self, he did the duty his underling would havo
evaded. I asked him whether they were in
the habit cf declining to ojien accounts on
small deposits when tho depositors were
reputable men engaged in legitimate busi
ness. "Never," he said emphatically, "small ac
counts are troublesome and unprofitable, bufc
I regard it as a duty to take them hi when I
believe the depositor to be a w orthy man who
needed our conveniences. My Crst bunk ac
count was $200."
This banker, who appreciates his duty to
the public, is, I believe, a man of TO years,
who never dreamed of speculating on the
street. His ambitious minded managing
man is under 40, and may yet be a young
Napoleon of finance. Alfred Trunible in

one cherry tree, but that was tho sum paid
f cr one iu Santa Clara county. It was re
quired to bo removed to make way for tho
New Almaden railroad. The owner de
manded 900 for it; experts were appointed,
and it was proved that the tree had for years
yielded the ownertrops of fruit which sold
for sums equivalent to the interest on the
amount, claimed. By a compromise $GO0 was
accepted for tho tree. This will give our
eastern friends some idea of the value of fruit
trees and the profit derived from them in
Santa Clara valley. Reno (Nev.) Gazette.
