MARRIAGE IN PURITAN DAYS.

Customs That Seem Queer Enough
In These Luxurious Times.
From the New York Herald
The brides of time Puritan days-con-
slider 1t. We happy Easter brides of today
were solemnly adjured to wear:
Something old and something new;
Something borrowed. something blue.
They wtre seldom married in church,
often In the new house that was destined
to be their home, and you may believe 1t
was generally bleak enough to give an al
mest funereal aspect to the affair. 1t was
bad luck to look In the mirror after the
toilet was completed-even the godly maid
ems of that day were superstitious
The wedding gown. was first displayed in
public at meeting. Indeed, there was no
other place where the bride could surely
count upon finding all her friends together
The bride and groom and bridal party
opened the show by proudly walking in a
little procession through the narrow streets
to the meeting house on the Sabbath fol-
lowing the marriage. In Larned's His
tory of WiLdham County, Conn.," Is a de-
scrfption of such an amusing scene in
Brooklyn, Conn. Further public notice was
drawn to the bride by allowing her to
choose the text for the sermon preached
on the first Sunday Of the coming out of
the newly married couple. Much ingenuity
was exercised in finding appropriate and
sometimes startling Bible texts for these
wedding sermons The Instances are we'll
known of the marriage of Parson Smith s
two daughters, one of whom selected the
text, Mary hath chosen that good part;'
while the daughter Abbey. who married
came neither eating nor drinking, and they
say he hath q devil"

Rats Destroying Paris.

rVul FarlS Letter.
Quite a cry of alarm is being ratsed.
Paris and the Parisians are menaced With
destruction by rats. which are honev-con,h.
ing the city. and will soon start on an or
ganized raid. with a view to devorring xu
inhabitants. The municipal council is in
Voked to avert the impending catastrophe.
ana II Is suggested that a substantial re-
ward might be offered to any one who could
invent some practical process whereby these
horrid creatures might be improved off the
face or. rather. the depths of the earth. ere
worse befall. Setting manifest exapRera-
tion aside. II must be admitted that never
mas this nuisance assumed more forsnid-
able proportions than at the present date
Never before have the rats, within the
bounds of the Notifications, increased and
multiplied to such a disagreeable extent.
They TEEN everywhere, and the recent
floods and rains have rendered them mar
dcularly active. They emerge in their
thousands from the drains, and in out-of-
the-way districts scOur the streets in gangs,
anording fine sport to the policemen on
auty there at night who pursue them with
their sword bayonets, committing veritable
massacres. 1t Is, however in the neighbor-
MOOD OF the central markets and the Palafs
Royal that they most do congregate, as
well as In the slaughter houses Vendors
at the Halles do not know where to stow
their goods for greater security. and at the
abaftoirs havoc is played by the rats with
the carcasses which come ready to their
teeth. The demolition Of old houses. large
stables and the like for building purposes,
has deprived myriads of their former means
OF subsistence. and has turned them loose
on society. That something must be done
to keep this nuisance within certain limit
at least Is necessity which seems to be
generally recognized, but nobody appears
to be. as yet. ready with q plan Of cam
paign.
