seats a man in livery opened a pair of
large folding doors at the back of the
table and announced, Monsieur lie
Maire," whereupon all present stood
up. The mayor, a dapper gentleman
with waxed mustachios and in evening
dress, with his badge of office, consist
ing of red silk scarf across his chest,
then entered and bowed to the people
present. The clerk proceeded rapNly
to oenumerate our names, and the various
contracts and certificates of which 1
have spoken, after which the mayor
read over to us that part of the Code
Civil relating to marriages and the OBJ
legations which the law imposed on the
contracting parties. This done, we
wer asked IL we consented to take
as husband and wife, and on replying
in the affirmative the mayor said. "Au

book in brown cardboard cover, en-
titled "Livret de Famille." In this

occur in the family, and l noticed that
the number of spaces allowed for births
was six, but | am not aware If this Is

HOW TO ROAST BEEF.
Temperature of the Oven--A Prime
Pot Roast.

When beef is to be roasted, it should
be placed in a very hct oven at first,
so that the surface will be quickly
Drowned, thus making a coating by
which the juices of the meat will all
be retained. The temperature OF the
oven should then be lowered and the
meat cooked slowly and be frequently
basted, unless it is in a covered pan.
The time allowed for roasting a large
piece Of beef is usually twelve minutes
for every pound and twelve minutes
for the pan, writes a contributor to the
New York Sun, and authority for the
following:
To prepare piece of beef for roast
ing do not wash it, but wipe it off with
damp cloth. Place it in a baking
pan, rub some beef drippings over the
top and dredge the top and sides with
flour. Put in the pan couple of spoon
fuls of drippings. Water should not
be added If you wish the roast to be a
nice brown, and do not add the salt
and pepper to the pan until after the
surface of the meat has been well
Drowned. Remember that after the
first twenty minutes roast beef requires
moderate oven and baste the meat
frequently with its own drippings from
the pan. If there Is danger of the
gravy growing too brown or cooking
away, a little beef stock may be added
to the pan, and frequently Gill of
cooking wine is added to the pan in
the last twenty minutes of cooking,
giving the gravy a delicious flavor.
When the roast is sufficiently cooked
remove it to a heated platter and make
the gravy. First turn off the top
grease from the liquid in the pan, and
If there is not sufficient liquid left add
a little stock. Lightly dredge the pan
with -four and stir over hot fire Sea-
son with a spoonful Of some sauce and
more salt and pepper, If needed. Strain
into a heated gravy boat and serve.
For pot roast get a short, thick
piece Of the cross rib of the beef and
lard it with little strips of clear, fat
pork. Put the pot in which the meat
is to be cooked over the fire, and when
it becomes hot put in the beef and
brown it, turing the meat until every
side is Drowned. Add half dozen lit
tie onions, two tablespoonfuls of toma-
toes. a bay leaf, a little chopped pars-
| ley, three cloves, a dozen whole black
peppers, two garlic buds, and q cup of
/ starch. Place the pot where the meat
will just steam and the liquid simmer
for three hours, keeping the pot closely
covered. one hour before serving add
| two carrots, sliced thin, and another
cup of stock, If it is needed. Remove
the meat when done TO a heated plat
ter and season the sauce with salt and
pepper and a teaspoonful of Worces-
tershire sauce and rub II through a
coarse sieve. Pour the cause around
| the meat.

Preserving Cut Flowers.

Alex Mcclellan of Newport, r. l.,
writes to Meehar's Monthly: 'In.the De-
cember number of the Monthly, page 2i0.
appeared an article on Preserving Cut
Flowers recommending the placing OF
the stems in cod water. Much better re-
suits can be had by using warm water, 1.
e., water of higher temperature than
that usually known as lukewarm. An
other important point in getting cut fow-
ers to keep fresh is to put the stems into
the water the instant they are cut from
the plant. Let any one who uses cannas
for cut flowers try the experiment, and
note the difference"

Anew Idea Just from Paris.

The bottoms of sleeves still continue
to be trimmed and there are multitud-
inous ways to do 1t. One new idea just
from Paris shows the bottom OF the
sleeve fiared out suddenly at the wrist
to form a bell-shaped piece that fits
ever the hand to the lowest point of the
thumb. These are lined inside with the
trimming material or some contrasting
silk. The bell is prettier cut I'm one

arate and stitched on II necessary, as

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
From the Sun.

From the Sun.
An old housekeeper says that there
may be many new liquids for freshen-
Ing and Frightening carpets, but she
has yet to find anything that will do
better work than OK gall. Use one gill
to n gallon of cold soft water, stirring
the OK gall into the water with a stick.
With soft brush rub the carpet maxi
ing white lather. Two persons should
do this work, one following the other
and washing the lather off with clear
water. The water should be changed
often, and then the carpet should be
rubbed with clean cloths until dry.
Many spring cleaners do not know
that an old carpet scrubbed with COM
mon yellow soap and hot water and af-
terward with clean cold water will be
wonderfully improved.
Among the crosses many housewives
have to annoy them Is a bathtub of un-
inviting appearance I'm n room that
otherwise looks fresh and clean after
the spring renovating. The tarnshed
surface may refuse to become bright,
no matter what cleaning materials are
employed. BY being your own work
man you may at a trifling expense,
make the tub quite desirable Procure
small can of common paint of any
light color desired, a can of enamel
paint of the same color, and a good
sized brush. Cut eight or ten inch
pieces of yellow soap into bits, and put
it oyer the fire to dissolve in a couple
of quarts of water Fill the bathrub
wit hot nd in, n
generous handful of powdered borax
and the dissolved soap. When the
water becomes cool enough to put the
hands in it, scrub the surface with a
brush, letting the water run off as the
work is done. Again partly fill the
tub with hot water and scrub it with
the brush and sand soap to make sure
that al greasy particles have been re-
moved. Then rinse it in clear hot wat
er and thoroughly dry. Cover it with
two coatings of the common paint. let
ting enc thoroughly dry before putting
on the second coat. Then give it sew
eral coats Of the enamel paint. This
paint will dry more quickly than the
other, and the bath will no longer be
an unsightly object. Care must be
used not to run very hot water into
the bath alone until the paint has
hardnpd.
Have you ever used dried lima beans
for that well known and desirable dish,
pork and beans? They are excellent.
These beans are also very nice baked

BEFORE MARRIAGE IN FRANCE
Formalities That Must BE Gone
Through Before the Mayor Ties the
Knot.
Pal, Mall Gazette.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
In the eyes of the French law mar
riage is entirely a civil contract. 1t
does not recognize a marriage celebrat-
ed in a church or other place of wor-
ship, nor will any priest or clergyman
ofticiate until a certificate of the civil
union has been presented to him. 1
myself have recently undergone the
painful operation Of being married in
France by this civil process, and it has
seemed to me that, instead of beneVo-
lently assisting to crown the happiness
of loving couples, the law places every
possible barrier to keep them apart.
The plain narrative of my own expert
ences may be found of interest.
My wife is q Frenchwoman, an or
phan, and % years of age, the only near
relation that she has living being her
maternal grandmother. l myself am
British subject of full age, resident in
France, and had we both been British
subjects we could have dispensed with
the formalities of French law and been
married without trouble before the
British consul. The first step / took
was TO go to the Marie, or town hall
of the district in which l lived, and in
terview the functionary who was in
charge of the Bureau des marriages" 4"
This official was an asthmatical old
gentleman with a troublesome cough
who was none too gracious in regard
to my suggestion that / wanted to get
married, He glared at me through his
glasses as though | were a criminal
upon whom he was about to pass judg-
ment. or at the very least an applicant
for parish relief He condescended to
inform me that, although / was 20
years of age, he should require the
consent in writing to the marriage of
both my parents, as well as that of the
Parents Of my tiancee, before even the
banns could be published. But" l
objected, II am a British subject and
my fiancee is an orphan, and Of full
age"
"Then you will be dispensed from oh
tanning the consent of your parents If
you can get your consul TO give you a
certificate stating that, as a British
subject, IL vii! not be necessary for
you, according to the laws of your
country. to obtain the consent of your
parents to your marriage. AS for
mademoiselle, your tiancee, she being
an orphan, we shall require the certifi-
cate of decease OF both her parents
and the consent in writing of her
grandparents, if living"

MARRIED AT LAST.

At last the eventful morning came,
and contrary to the forebodings of the
asthmatical old gentleman, there was
no hitch. The room where the mar
riage took place was beautifully paint
ed in white and gold, with bust en-
blematic of the republic in a prominent
position. At one end was a raised plat
form, with table for the mayor and a
row of gilt arm-chairs facing the table
for the parties about to be married and
their witnesses; then a barrier COW
cred with velvet, and, below the plat
form, row of seats for the friends of
the parties, and for those who might
care to be present-the law requiring
that the public shall have free access
TO all ceremonies such as marriages,
public competitive examinations, and
so on. The civil marriage was a very
