FRENcA-BASouE WEDDING.
Matrimonial Ceremonies Among Peas
ants in Southern France.

Matrimonial Ceremonies Among Peas
ants in Southern France.
The daughter of a metayer named
Jean Marie lived with her father. a
widower, her brother Pelho, her sis
ter, and little brother in the village of
Sare, near st. Jean de Luz. They all
alike worked upon the land. A young
neighbor, Juan Coche, very recently
proposed to her, but Pelho objected on
the ground that he was not a fine
enough fellow to take his fair share
in the farm work of the family. The
girl threatened to go into service, and
thereupon the match was allowed to
come off in due course. The fiance
found the money for an extensive
trousseau, which was made up at the
girls home, taking six hired women
and sewing machine seven days to
finish. AS they were to live in the
girls fathers house, no furniture was
required. bridesmaids were as always
chosen from the girls living in the
next dwelling house in the direction
of the church. Two days before the
wedding two live sheep, well washed
and adorned with ribbons, was sent by
the bridegroom's father to the girls
house, TO be killed for the feast Next
day in the afternoon there was a lot
OF gun firing on the part of Pelho, and
during its continuance a procession Of
girls arrived, each bearing ON her head
a decorated basket containing gifts
of bread, chickens and wine from
neighbors. They went into the girls
house, were fed and danced all the
evening. The brides father contrib
uted 60 pounds of beef, and the broth
er skin of Spanish wine (Which sure
ly never paid duty), as their respective
offerings in aid of the wedding feast
Next day, at 8 a. NJ, in pouring
rain, the wedding procession marched
under umbrellas to the maire, where
the civic marriage took place, when a
paper was handed to the bridegroom
authorizing the religious marriage,
which was celebrated afterward. None
of the girls would sign the register,
nor the husband, probably out Of
mock modesty. This, by the way,
shows how faulty educational statis-
tics, derived from the personal of reg
listers, are apt to be. The fee of the
cure was francs so centimes and a
bottle of Rancio wine. After the cere-
mony the wedding party adjourned to
the cafe nearest the church until mid
night. when the dinner took place at
Jean Marie's. lasting until o'clock,
at which no one except the bride, who
had once been in service. used knife
and fork. The cook and waiting
maids were cousins and aunts of the
bride, and got the middle piece of the
splendid cake, which, like all the food,
did honor to Basque cooking. The old
men became merrier than did the
young ones, singing and smoking.
Then dancing began to the strains of a
hired Observation-Disclosures Mag

man when he awoke from slumber one
morning recently. He was momenta-
riiy not altogether certain of his own

was gone. What did it mean? Then
it dawned upon his mind that he had
been giving fellow a severe thrash
ing in his dreams during the night.
Everything corresponded exactly ex-
cept his recollection of his opponent.
who, he had dreamed, was some one
else beside himself. But in reality he
had been fighting himself. His better
self must have fallsn into conflict
with his worser self 1t was a sort of
Mr.. Hyde and DR.. Jekyll case. He had
vivid recollection of striking his op-
ponent (himself) some very severe
blows about the head and face. And
he remembered. too, that he had

was the other fellows tooth. He is

himself any more bodily harm.-Un-

A pathetic story from real life is related
by an esteemed friend, who recently visited
a distant city and looked up the home of
two former schoolmates whom he had not
seen for thirty-fve years; they were broth
ers, and he found the older one at home
with the gray-haired widowed mother.
The first glance into this home, the in
mates of which he remembered with joy
and ga lness convinced him that the de-
mon of strong drink had wrought havoc
within its walls They talked over bygone
days, which seemed to caused the sad
hearted mother to consider them the hap
piest of her life; her son was under the
influence of liquor, and this being apparent
caused the poor mother to be uneasy in
the presence of the visitor; just as he was
leaving the Younger son came in, reeling
drunk. Victims of the traffic we license,

just such homes are all over our land, and
