PARISIANS LOVE FLOWERS

Il would be difficult 10 ascertain how
much money is spent in the twelve
months on flowers in Paris, but some idea
Of the colossal dimensions Of the traffic
may be gathered from the estimate
formed by competent persons that every
year the purchases OF flowers made by
the Paris market IN the single department
OF the Alpes- Maritlmes amount TO nearly
three and a quarter millions sterling,
A typical example Of the orders re-
celved on occasions by Nice and adjOin-
ing towns is furnished by the sums spent

WOMEN OF PAGAN IRELAND.
Property Rights of wives RecOg-
nized Before Advent of st. Patrick.

Property Rights of wives RecOg-
nized Before Advent of st. Patrick.
From the Ecclesiastical Review.
The pagan Irish were fierce and proud.
but at the same time remarkably Just and
pure. Those who wish TO verify this
statement have only to look up the old
Rrehon laws, the legislative code that OBJ
tanned in Erin long before and long after
the advent of st. Patrick.
These laws with very few exceptions
we're found good enough to govern the
land after the reception Of Christianity.
St. Patrick saw nothing to change in
them, except the religious features bear
ing on the old Druidic worship. For the
rest he left them as he found them. and
they continued 70 be the legal guide Of the
Irish nation even down to the seventeenth
century.
Among their most noteworthy features
are their sense of justice and fair play
and their eminently high regard for the
domestic relationship rights Of women.
the mutual protection Of husband and
wife. the reciprocal duties OF parents and
children, &C BY way of proof or illus
tration, we give a passage from the
"Senchus Nor"
I'm the connection Of equal property
If with equal land and cattle and
household stuff, and if their marriage be
equally free and lawful the wife In this
case is called the wife of equal rank. The
contract made by either party is not a
lawful contract without the consent of
the other. except in cases of contracts
tending equally to the welfare of both
Each of the two parties has the
power to give rejection and feast accord
ing to their respective dignity"
In case Of separation ample provision
was always made for the wife's future.
If. for instance, her portion at the time
of marriage was equal to that of her hus-
band. she was entitled TO half of the
property which they held at the time
Of separation. If the whole property be-
longed originally to the husband she re-
ceived one-third at the separat ton. If it
was all her own before marriage, she
took two-thirds.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.
FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW


There never can be but one opinion
concerning good manners In civilized
countrfes-they are the means OF plac-
ing our associates at ease. They may
not be the fashionable code, but they
are the only one worth considering Wheh

seat. he grade Of lis manners Is beyond
question even though he may eat with MS
knife and be unfamiliar with the use OF
the table napkin.
That thing actually occurred the other
evening, as did an incident which re-
fected little credit upon row of men
occupying an entire side of street car.
They were all men from the better walks

A National disgrace

The idea Of a negro and a
white man m eeting IN a ring to
pummel each other, certainly is
foolish, but nothing inscompafi-
son to the people who will
spend thousands of dollars to
zee the disgusting contest. In
this age of culture and Chris
tlan civiliz alton, to think the
people will 50 far forget their
character of gentlemen, as to
exhibit themselves as .thump-
ers" for money. There is moth.
ing great, noble, or human, in
the exhibition, and a law should
be enacted to imprison any
man who enters into contract
to fight in the ring. That God.
IN his wisdom, has created one
man able to stand a little more
pounding than another, is true,
or one man with more physical
strength than another, but why
make animals of themselves to
entertain the public? Such
conduct should receive the con-
demnation of Christendom, and
should be punished by such
heavy penalties as would for.
ever prevent such disgraceful
meetings. No such meetings
should be suffered to take place
under the flag of Uncle Sam.
