French View Of MarrIaas.

The French, guided by reason, a.
they would say, regard the institution
of matrimony as rational regulation
of the fact of sex, as a compromise
between the rights of the individual
and the rights of society. The man
Obeys, but under protest; he is will
ing to sacrifice his liberty SO far, but,
beyond that point, he regards self
tabnegation as fanatical ssceticism.
Marriage, under French usage, says
H. d. Sedgwick in Atlantic, is part
nership, in which such matters as
character, tastes, education, birth and
property are to be considered; con-
tracing families scrutinize the pro-
posed bride and groom as If coming
up for admittance into a club. They
look at our custom Of marrying for
love with amazement, as We should
look at a grocer's cart that started
on its rounds at 80 miles an hour.
Our system confines its view to the
romantic dreams OF youth, and re-
CARDS matrimV rather as holiday
cruise'than voyage of life. We may
err in our endeayor to regard men
and women as disembodied spirits;
and yet VT cannot but think that the
French err in their resolution to be
sensible and regard men and women
as a1fmals taken in the tolls of soci-
ETY.. Our theory may look too far
into the future; theirs fingers too far
in the brutal past.

MOTHER AND SIX LITTLE ONES
EE6CUEb FROM FLAMES BY A
BRAVE POLICEMAN.
Blaze Threatened Entire Block In a
Tenement District Of New
York City.

New York, Jan. "A serious hre
broke out in West Fifty-third- street
and ten building had been destroyed
or were in flames. The fire at that
time was gaining rapidly, threatening
the entire block.
Several engines were deserted, as
the firemen could not get within 100
feet Of the FIRE.
Tenants within a radius Of half a
dozen blocks were ordered out to
avoid possible danger to their lives.
Eight OF the burned buildings were
tenement houses and the greatest con-
fusion ensued while the inmates were
escaping.
Hundreds Of policemen were called
out in an effort to preserve order.
Fireman John Shay was fatally IN
jured by a falling wall.
The burning Of a dyeing establish
ment was accompanied by explosions
OF chemicals, rendering greater the
danger to the iremen and helping to
spread the flames.
IN imminent udHSeT VI HIS llle, n
trolman Patrick Sully made his way
to the top floor Of burning tenement,
where he found a mother and six chill
dren huddled together and helpless
from fear. Unaided and in repeated
trips ne carried the whole family to
the street.
Later the fire was spreading, and a
hundred horses released from a burn
ing stable, and ungovernable from fear,
were running through the streets.
To add to the confusion thieves be-
gan looting the burning tenements.
They were fired upon by the police,
but with what effect could not be
known.
The money loss will be about $3.50
900. It is believed that at least three
people will die on account OF injuries.
One fireman was probably fatally In
iVred, a woman horribly burned and a
negro shot through the head during a
clash between white men and colored
men.
