Marriage in France.

Nine. Belloc-Lowndes says that tho
average Frenchman has a totally DIFF
ferent idea from the average bach
elor as to what should lead to mar
rage. He knows, or believes he
knows, that the violent attraction dig
nified in that country by the name of
"love" is often a very passing feeling,
and therefore lie looks for more last
ing qualities-above all for suitability
Of age, good temper, health and many
other minor qualifications which
there play scarcely any part in de-
termining the preliminaries to a mar
riage. He expects that the woman
chosen by him will be able to bear
her part of their future household ex-
penses, but 1t may be truly said that
the average sensible Frenchman
would far rather have a small dowry
with a pretty, thrifty wife, than .
very large fortune with a plain, ex-
travagant damsel.

THE PERSISTENT CYPsIEs.
They May Be Driven Out Of a Coun-
ty, But They Are Sure
to Return.

"Such as wake on the night and sleep
On the day, and haunt taverns and ale
houses, and no man wot from whence
they coma nor whittier they CO." So
quantity describes an old English stat
ute against the gypsies. Ever since the
year 1880, says a writer in the London
Standard, Great Britain has tried to get
rid of this strange people without APP
preciable success. Every year OF so
some county is up in arms against them,
yet they persist in returning, and appar-
emily thrive under persecution.
The gypsies are popularity supposed to
come originally from Egypt, as their
name indicates, but their origin is traced
farther east than the land Of the Nile.
| Wherever they come from, they are a
separate people, a tribe quite by them
selves.
They appeared in England about 1906,
and rs years later Henry VIII. ordered
them to leave the country in 16 days,
taking all their goods with them. IAN
o%utlandish people," he called them. The
act was Intellectual, and in 1852 Eliza
beth framed a still more stringent law,
and many were hanged.
But what numbers were executed"
says one old writer, yet no%twithstand-
ing, all would not ~prevaile, but they
wandered as before, uppe and downe."
They got into Scotland and became an
intolerable nuisance. Both in that
country and in England legislation
proved quite Intellectual. The acts grad
ually fell into desuetude. Under George
w. all that was left. of the ban against
the gypsies was the mild law that any
person telling fortunes shall be deemed
q rogue and a v~agabond."
"Gypsies are no longer a prescribed
class" says a recent writer. Probably
the modern gypsy does little evil beyond
begging and petty theft, but his deter
mination not to work is as strong as
ever, and it seems curious that an indus
trial people like ours continues to toler-
ate a horde of professional idlers." How
numerous the horde Is may be gathered
from the fact that the number who win
tered in Surrey n veal was estimated
at 10000.
The language as we'll as the life of the
gypsy tribe has a tenacity Of its own.
Many of their words have taken firm
hold in a h~alf-slang, Indispensable
way. Shaver is the gypsy word for child.
Pal is pure gypsy. Codger means a man.
Cutting up is gynsy for quarreling, and
cove stands for that fellow"
