oWn-Sarnh Bernhardt's Adventure.
From the London Truth.
1 have had some interesting chit-chat
with the head of Belgo-Dutch Custom
House. He related to me how at his from
tier station he had tiff with Sarah Bern
hardt. She had been a good deal spoiled
at The Hague, and refused to alight from
her saloon carriage. The refusal was not
made in her voix dor. The underling
who had had TO deal with her went to his
chief, who approached her, hat in hand.
and almost bent in two He acted as
though she were entitled out of her the
alter to the royal honors due to her on
the stage as Marie de Neuborg This did
not mollify her. AS he could not use
force, as though she were a French dep
uty or an Irish M p, he went to the
railway station master and required that
S. BIS saloon carriage should be unoc-
cupied and run into a siding This was
done, with the effect that she alighted
and gave the customs director piece of
her mind. He might have ordered her to
be searched, but he did not. However. to
prevent her carriage staying all night in
the siding, she declared that she had
nothing on her or in her boxes liable to
duty.
AS the train bearing the accomplished
actress steamed out of the station she
started up, and standing at the window
fit lie pied de nez. You know the gesture.

Some Marriage Dangers.
From the Humanitarian.


1t will astonish many people to be told
that a marriage contracted in England
between an Englishwoman and French
man, even If solemnzed in a church
here, is not necessarily binding unless
the needful formalities demanded by the
French law have been complied with by
the husband.
The English marriage binds the wife, at
least in England; but the Frenchman
may, should he desire to do so. release
himself from all obligations by returning
to his own land, where should he not
have complied with the requirements of
the French Code, he is in a position to
make another marriage which shall be
lawful-the contract with the Englshwo-
man being null and void.
Under such circumstances 1t may be
useful to explain what the French Code
demands of Frenchmen who wish to con-
tract legal marriages with natives of an
other country.
First, should a Frenchman be under
the age of twenty-five, he must obtain
the consent of his parents, in document
signed before a notary public Unless he
obtain this consent he cannot contract a
legal marriage at all.
Should he wish to marry between the
ages of twenty-five and thirty, he must
still ask the consent of his parents by
making what is called the "acte respect
ueux" three times at stated intervals.
After he is thirty he must stir repeat
the request for parental permission to
marry, but need only wait one month be-
fore contracting a marriage.
Nor is the matter entirely disposed OF
so. The banns must be published; first,
in the Town Hall nearest to the place In
which he may be living, If in France. or
at the nearest French consulate should he
be living abroad. Secondly, at the office
of the Mayor of the town in which he
was last domicled in France. Thirdly, in
the town where his parents are domiciled,
IL he is under twenty-five years OF age.
