Fur.

Fur, after some years wear, will look
much improved if cleaned with new
bran previously heated in the oven.
Rub the hot bran we'll into the fur with
a piece of flannel, shake the fur to re-
move all PARTICLES, and then brush thor
oughly. The fur will clean more easily
if the lining and wadding are first re-
moved, but such removal is not abso-
lutely needful. The fiat, oily look which
mars the appearance of the neck portion
of furs long in use is mostly if not
wholly removed by the means of hot
bran. Rub the fur the wrong way, this
meaning in this particular INSTANCE the
right way.

A CURIOUS FRENCH CUSTOM.

Finistere Weddings.

The Basfanel and the Part He Rays In
Finistere Weddings.
Marriage customs in Finistere have
remained among the peasants very much
what they were centuries ago, and their
old fashioned ceremoniousness is not
their least interesting popularity. The
Breton peasant of today has an almost
religious respect for these notions Of pc
lite manners which have come down to
him from his fOrefathers Of the midd lie
ages, who, as far as they dared imitat-
ed the etiquette of their princes or near
er feudal lords The basfanel, who, with
stately bows and old fashioned phrases,
performs the delicate office of asking
for girl i'll marriage ON behalf of the
suitor, is really acting the part CT a
matrimonial ambassador. But the bas-
fanel'S functions do not end here.
When the bride has been undressed
and put to bed by her maids, all the
wedding party reasonable in the nup-
tial chamber, which is more often than
not the kitchen and general room. Then
the basfane steps forward and on be
half of the whole company he addresses
the final fluctuations to the young cou
pie.
This courtly parsonage is almost IN
variably tailor. His habit of going
from house 10 house In the exercise of
his calling-the rural tailor seldom
works at home--euables him to become
the best informed man concerning the

district He is great favorite of the
women, because he is to them an un-
failing fountain of local gossip and
scandal Their liking for him causes the
men to despise him, but they neverthe-
less have recourse to his services as an
intermediary whenever the need arises.
Such is the basfanel, name more sug
gestive to the Breton of ridicule than
respect. Temple Bar.
