et me glve you nn exnmple of her
frugality, and nllew ms te Uiku it from
n personal recollection. My mother has
a housemaid who has been with her
twenty-five years. Net long age, while
In France, I took aside tills old servant:
"I knew hew devoted you have been
te my mother," I said te her. "Yeu are
net strong, and I daie say you will net
wish te go into 6crvice again; but make
yourself easy about this. If anything
should happen te iny mother, I shall sce
that you are comfortable for the rest of
your life, llut," 1 said inquiringly, "I
have no doubt you have something of
your own by this time?"
Imagine my suiprise when I heard
her tell me she had saved ever 10,000
francs, all well invested, including ene
share in the Suez Canal company!
Since I have mentioned theHiiez canal,
why should 1 net teke the opportunity
for trying te explain the uneasiness that
was bome lime age created in France by
the British policy In Egypt? Yeu muBt
liear in mltid that the Suck canal was net
made by big capitalists. It was made
by the savings bank of France; by the
"old stockings;" that h te say, by the
small bourgeois, the working people nnd
the servants. When we reflect that the
riches of France nrise fieui the econ
omy imposed iqien evcry Fiench house
hold by the women, I might evon say
that the Suez canal is the weik of the
French women. This canal is essentially
a national entorprlse, nnd the least
French mechanle will tell you "we have
made the Suez canal." Yeu will llnd
very few French families possessing as
many ns ten shares. They nre spread
nil ever the country.
Well, let n few unscrupulous jour
nalists attempt te prove te the peo
ple that the English want te annex
or protect Egypt in order te seize
en the Suez canal, and you will
easily imngine the effect. What n pity
it seems that nations can only talk te
ether nations through their political
press! Whatn pity it is that the HritMi
peeple cannot let their Fiencli neighbors
knew in plain words that they admlin
them for the gigantic work they have
made, nnd that they will never dream of
being connected with the Suez canal
etherwise than ui geed customers te help
them get geed dividends!
Tliese same women of France did
something grander than tills. It wai
they who redeemed their beloved coun
try, nud paid off the Prussian eighteen

comes te her lescue, saves her, thrnwd
himself at her feet, nnd declares himself
her slave forever.

we speak of what he levej the better.
The beut excuse that can 1m advanced hi
his favor is that hia education, us I hae
attempted te explain in another chap
ter, does net prepare him for manhood.
Indeed, the French boy's change from
youth te manhood h like a sheeting of

te be free; hew can he be expected, ns a

Fiem tuetity te iwenty.five he seldom

a bad match. Ue has noticed a pretty
llttle milliner pissing every day nt the
same place. IIe has admired her; by
and by he fellows her, proposes matri
mony and marries her. The luients at
first grumble, will have nothing te de
with the young couple for sorae time,
and generally relent en the arrival of
thei first laby.
As a rule, the Frenchman does net
marry befere he has reached the nge
3f thirty. Frem thirty te thirty-five- is
the nje tit which he talte3 the gieat step.
Old bachelors nre net impervious te
Cupid's darts. Yeu often see Frenchmen
entering tlie holy estate for the first tlme
at fifty or sixty. Their decided leve for
geed cookery nud white linen frequently
beguiles them into marrying their cook
or laundress. These are the brides often
led te the altar by retired officers, and
inctallcd in apartments In seme suburb
of Paris.
The Frenchman has his characteristic
feature in common with men of ull coun
tries; vach time that lie loves, it Is for
v"
ever. When ftemta in tore, he seldom
Hees the length of committing suicide.
He does net go in for such extreme meas
ures; he generally prefers resorting te
homeeopathy! he loves "another." Like

Flirtation is net a French pastime. A
few married wemen may Indulge in It;
but girls, whatever may be said te the
contrary, very seldom de. A wemau
who fill ted would pass in France for
giddy, net te say fast; she knows her
countrymen tee well for that. She is
nware, when she coquettes with them,
what she is exposing herself te.
If French girls felt inclined for n little
flirtation, hew could they indulge in It?
Geed heavcnsl What would her mother
nnd father &ay if they saw her taking n
walk ljy herself during the day if it
enme te their knowlcdge that n young
man hail actually dared te whisper words
of leve Inte her car befere he had laid
bnre his heart nnd made n clear state
ment of his finances te them in the first
place? Even when he has obtained con
sent of the parent, nnd his visits te the
liotise where his fiancee, resides are ter
milled, the young ceuple nre net allowed
te see each ether even for a moment
without the prcsence of a third party.
The pleasant operation familiar te Eng
lish levers by the term of "spooning" is
absolutely unknown te courtship as
practiced in France.
As seen as two young French peeple
nre in leve they want te dle, unless their
parents immediately consent te their
marriage, which Is very seldom the
cose. Well, te whli te dle under these
circumstances is a trifle irrational, but
leve and reason seldom go together. Of
ceurse they never de die. Tf.ey llve nil
the while, nnd nre almost inclined te
think that In leve matters plain sailing
is net se sweet or se roiuantle ns obsta
cles te overcome. What lovely letters
crossed leve suggests te them I Letters
invariably written nt midnight French
levers never write by day midnight,
"when all Is in rcpose around them."
Letters full of "All Is known; we nre
lest! Wliat will lecomeof us? Ahl for
get 1110 ns been ns you can; we shall
nuver be each ether's. As for me, I
shall die of it; I knew I shall. Then
you will marry another woman. I will

cemetery nnd lay a bunch of violets en
my tomb. Yeu knew, beloved one, that
violets are my favorlte flowers. Yeu
won't forget that, will you? 1 weep, 1
weep and I weep. Farewell!" And this
shiver giving letter, hew te pest It the
following day? Tlie peer child cannot
goeutalono. The housemaid Is coaxed
nnd bribed. She becomes the confi
dante. She pests the letter, receives the
nti3wcr, aud plays the part of love's
messenger.
Cupid may delight In mystery, but
Ihls is net business. However, things
ceme right in time, ns we shall see pres
ently. When the Frenchman in leve has an
oppei Utility of making a viva voce dec
laration te the mistress of his hcait.hu
generally sets about it In theatrical
fashion. He gees down en his knee.
New, n man, except he be very young,
with irrepreachable features, can scarce
ly afford te de this; he runs n thousand
risks of appearing ridiculous and show
ing hh llttle defective points. While he
is en his feet, that small bald spot en the
top of his head is net noticcable, nud the
uiipiotmesqiie male nttlre of the Nine
teenth century leeks well enough. But
let a man who is no longer n slim Apelle'
get down en his knees, nnd pour pas
sionate protestations te a woman with
the slightest sense of tiie ridiculous,
nnd I maintain he Is running a risk of
killing what little tender sentiment she
may have for him. His fnce Is red, or
perhaps purple. with the unwonted ex
ertion nnd excitement ns he warms te
his subject. Out of this ml face gleam
two eycM that show nil their white.
All the tlme the little demon of ob
servatien may take inventory of till these
blemishes. Ne, no; a man should net
allow a woman te contemplate liim in
such a Borvile attitude. I Je should net
abdicate his dignity in going en his
knees te implore favors that the dear
fellow is probably destined te pay enough
for.
All this puts me in mind of a play of
Emile Augier, in which nn aristocratic
lady relates haw she was saved from a
foolish entanglement of her affections by
her lever geiug down en his knees and
declaring his passion, lie had en bis
nese n little wart, which nt euliuary
times was scarcely noticeable; but us the
peer fellow grew moiennd mere carried
away by his fervor, redder and redder
grew this innocent little excrescence,
till tit last the comicality of the thing
struck her, nnd she could lfeTlielp burst
ing out laughing. "That wart saved me!"
she exclaims, te the delight of her lady
friends en the stage and of the audience.
Let us new ceme te matrimony. 1
have already said that young peeple in
France cannot marry without their
parents' consent, nud that nt no matter
what nge. However, when a man is ever
twenty-five and n gill ever twenty-one,
they may compel their parents te give
them that consent.
This extreme measure Is cry seldom
resorted te, for it has te I .'e t'..- f Tin of
a summons thieugb a notary; but ic
leutlesa parents sometimes wish te ie ie
ceie such summonses, in order te be
tible ene day te tell their childicu, in
ease the match should prove an unhappy
one, that they wash their liaudsef it. As
uoeu ns the young lever is accepted by
the gill's parents he h icceived in the
family; net, however, en terms of in in
liuiaey, nu in England. He pays frequent
but official visits, brings presents te the
young lady, many of which ufferd him
the opportunity of conveying te her a
little billet deux. The day befere the
wedding he brings thoceibcilie; that is
te say, a casket containing valuable pres
ents of lace, juwclry, etc. The contract
of marriage, settling money matters, is
signed befere a notary and in the prcs prcs
eneo of the relatives and the most inti
mate friends of the bride nnd bride
groom. As a rule, they tire married by
the mayoref the town en that day. The
real wedding is a religious ceremony
that takes place the following day in the
morning. j
Peeple with a llttle pretension te style
have for many years followed the Eng
lish fashion of going away for the honey
moon ns seen ns the wedding breakfast
is ever. But twelve or fourteen years
age such was net the practice; high and
low spent their wedding day much alike;
that is te say, as the lower middle classes
still de.
This is hew the eventful day is passed:
The morning U like the proverbial
Apl ene, all smiles and tears. The i
process of the elaborate teilr.fr. is Inter- ,
rupteu nt every moment by tender em
braces. JIaiuma, between the pause of
the petticoats, must clasp her dear Fifltie
in her arms, and libten te her assurances
that "she can never, never be se happy
as she has been with her dear petite
mere," at any rate net happier. But
neither tears nor embraces have hindered
the-IitJJe white robed figure from being
decke-fsy ,.flvctiveJv.
At last-vj are quite ready, and the
bridegroom linving arrived, the bridal
party sets out fprchuich, the bride and
her father occupying the first carriage,
and the bridegroom and his future mother-in-law
the bccend., Tlie friends fob

en) who knows nothing nbent it Thl
being duly administered, the company
proceed te tlie vestry, and no sooner are
they thcre titan mamma falls again en
the neck of her sweet child, and again
gives way te her feelings. Indeed,
by this time the event is felt te be
a great ene all round, and one
that demands much outlet for the feel
ings. Everybody kisses everybody else,
nnd tlicre is a gencral chorus of felicita
tions. The next item in the pregramme
is the wedding breakfast, a simple affair
given in the family appartcment te the
members of the family only. If the fa
thcr lives in Paris, nnd his purse will ad
mit of the carriages being retained all
day, the bridal party drive te the Dots de
Boulegno or Vincennes te pass the nfter nfter nfter
noen; but this tlme the young ceuple
nre net separated, nnd mamma has te
hand her daughter ever for the first tete-n-tcte
with Adolphe. It is awful te think
of, but she has te bear it.
The most festlve part "of the day's pro
ceedings comes in the shape of n dinner
nnd ball nt a great restaurant. Te this
entertainment acquaintances te the num
ber of a hundred or two nre frequently
Invited. Of ceurse, in the case of a bride
taken from n home large enough te ad
mit of it, this takes place in her parents'
rooms. At midnight, when all are en
gaged in the whirl of a waltz, Fiflne is
discreetly led nwny from the ballroom
by her mother and an old lady of stand
ing of the family, but net befere the
bridegroom has had e whispered intima
tion of her departure from the Hpaef the
laly who is new signed nnd scaled his
mother-in-law,
Tills Inst part of the comedy Is the most
solemn of nil. Arrived in the home
which Is te be her daughter's abede
henceforth, of ceurse the dear soul can
not help feelinir moved ence mere, nnd
this time terribly. Tlie process of the
morning's toilet Is reversed te the same
accompaniment of tears and embraces.
The honor ,of taking off the garter Is
claimed by the old lady (generally nn
mint of the bride). Adolphe, punctual te
the whispered rendezvous given him in
the ball room, nrrives, nnd it is mamma
who comes te open the deer te him.
This sccne may be mero easily imagined
than described. The moment is nwful
for all concerned. The peer mother
throws herself into her son-in-law's arms,
nnd, with nil the fervor of her heart, ex
horts him te take care of the treasure
she has handed ever te him and make
her life a bed of roses. Aud she gees.
Adolphe and Fiflne nre happy at last;
and new we will take leave of them nud
wish them long happiness nnd pros
perity. Thcre is something te be said in favor
of ill this.
The ceremony of matrimony is the
proleguo te courtship, instead of the epi
logue, as It net unfrequently is in couu ceuu
Uies where society imposes no restric
tions upon engaged people.

Tilings have greatly changed since
that exact nnd most impartial observer
La Bruyere drew the following picture
of the French peasantry two hundred
years nge: "Yeu see," said he "certain
wild animals, males and females, about
the land, dark, livid, naked, and all
burnt with the sun, bound te the soil,
which they dig and stir with unflagging
patience They seem tonrticulate words,
nnd when they stand up they shown hu
man face, and, indeed, they are ncie

their (Jans, where they feed en black
bread, water and roots. They Bave ether
men the trnuble of sewlug, digging and
reaping, nnd deserve net te lack of that
bread which they have grown."
Today the French peasant lives in his
own cottage, cultivates his own field,
and demands nothing beyond peace and
fine weather. Ne doubt this cettage of
his would appear te an American tour
ist te be lackin;; of many comforts. It
is rarpctless, it is true, but it belongs te

fruit of labor and economy; he is satis

strength, because the prospect of eating
his own bread near the deer of his own
coltnge when his strength is geno makes
him happy. Se be works steadily, un
ceasingly, with n wife who isa true help

of new worlds te conquer. The surging
passions of great towns nre horrible te
him, IIe wants te be left alone, nnd
cries for peace at the top of his voice.
Se eager is he after this blessing that
In 1891 his leprcscntutivcs in parliament
upset the first Ferry ministry by a ma
jority of ;!.V5 te 09 en account of the ex
pedition te Tunis, although that expedi
tion had been highly successful from n
military point of view. In 1832 the
Freycinet ministry was defeated en the
vote of credit which they asked te en en
uble France te join with England in an
tiruied intervention in Egypt. In 18S3
the second Ferry ministry was upset by
a majority of UOO te 140 en account of
the Tonkin expedition. Se much te
show hew aggressive the French nation
is! The permanently aggressive nations
are the nations where the peeple me op
pressed and wretched. Militarism is net
compatible with national prosperity and
happiness. The prosperity of the com
mon people, nnd the r.e they nre learn
ing te make of liberty, are the great facts
wlfcich will tend te make France n nation
mete and mero peaceful, The French
peasant miglit well express a wish that
tlie government should still impreve his
position; but he is quiet, nnd no govern
ment thinks of him particularly. If he
were te make ns much neise as the Paris
workman, he miglit be listened te.
The real pretender in France is net the
Cemte de Paris or Prince Victer Napo Nape
leon, net the Due d'Aumale or Prince
Jereme; the real pretender is the Parts
workman. If you speak te him of "the
people," it is he, aud he alone, whom he
supposes you menu. The millions of
quiet peasants, laborers and ether rural
toilers he totally ignores; he is the "sov
ereign people." The Parisian workman
is net satisfied with the old cry: "What
Is the capitalist? Everything. What
ea.ht he te be? Nothing." His new cry
is: "What Is the workman? Nothing.
What ought he te lw? Everything." A
member of the commission appointed by
the lata French parliament te inquire
into the Paris workman'! life, asked one
of them te get up the budget of his fami
ly expenscs.A.Vr-ter describing minutely
all the necessaries, the wis kmnn put
dewn: "Fer music ItalW, theatres, dis
tractions thtee hundred francs." And
en th uember of parliament suggesting
that the last item might, pcihnps, le re
duced, the Paris workman Indignantly
reterted: "De jea thiel, that we nV"-;;-iug
te llve like brutes?"
The present hocse of deputies ia all
occupied with the question of employer!
nud employed, granting ene by ene nil
the demands of the latter. Nobody
seems concerned nlxmt the rural pepti'
latlen, by far the most interesting of all.
IIew-Ji tlmt? Simply because the peas
SC9C$S!!
ants ue net neiu stormy tnevnags, oepiW
sjxuk or erecting barricades, and art
quiet, peaceful, IndastrietM, sober and
law abiding people. The peasant has
the sun, and if his harvest ia destroyed
by the frost, the hall or the dreueht. il
is for him te make the best of it whits
the Paris workman gees te the musk
halls, smokes cigars and talks politics.
Suppose the country engages in war, thl
Paris workman assumes a uniform and
sings war songs, but the peasant sees his
land laid woste and his cettage burned
down; and this is why you will under
stand that he feels it his duty te hate th
Uermens in a theoretical way, but hopes
and trusts that he may net live te see tin
day when he or his sons may be called
upon (e avenge tlie disasters of the ter
rible year 1870.
A great prejudice imposed upon Eng
lish speaking peeple en the subject el
France, and one which I should very
much like te destroy, is the belief in the
Importance of our Anarchists. This be
lief Is kept nlive by a few journalists,
who leve te fill their columns with the
sayings and doings of French Anarchists.
The Anarchists! Well, we keep thl
article as the English and Americans de,
and they are about as important ns theirs
France, honest, economical, hard work
ing, ignores them. They nre no party,
no power, in the state. They are net
represented in our parliament. I bclicvi
that the German Anarchists alone, of all
the parties owning that gcncrle name in
Europe, have n true representation in tin
legislature.
If the French are industrious, they
nre net se in the same way as the Eng
lish. The French never, or very seldom,
nllew themselves te be completely nb
serbed by business. They nlways sc)
apart a certain portion of tlme te tht
nmenitles of life They are ns serious ai

you go into a shop at dinner time 1
speak new of the small provincial tewm
you may run the risk of receiving very
little attention, or even none at all.
I remember ence It was at St. Male,
In the summer I entered a hatter's shoe
at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. A vr?i
dressed, lady like girl came out of ths
back parlor and inquired what I wanted.
"I want a straw hat, mademoiselle,'
I said.
"Oh, that's very awkward just new!"
"Is it?"
"Well, you see," she said, 'my brothel
Is at dinner;" nnd after a pause of a few
seconds she added: "Would you mini)
culling again In nn hour's time?"
"Net at nil," I replied; "I shall be de
lighted te de se."
I was net only amused, but struck with
admiration for the Indepet lence of that
worthy hatter. After a few years' resi
dence In England, a Utile -ctne of that
description was a great treat.
An hour later 'I called again. The
jeung girl made her second appearance.
"My brother waited for you for quite
ten minutes," she siiid te me; "he has
geno te the cafe with u friend new."
'Tem sorry for that," I said; "when
can I see him?"
"If you step ucress te the cafe, I am
sure he will be happy te ceme back and
attend te you."
I thanked the young lady, went te the
cafe, and introduced myself te the hat
ter, who was enjoying a cup of coffee
and having n game of dominoes with a
friend. IIe asked me te allow him te
finish the game, which, of ceurse, I was
only tee glad te de, nnd we returned te
the shop together.
Anether time, I happened te be In a
little Nerman town.
Having broken the glass of my watch,
I inquired who was the best watchmaker
in the place. It was a M. Perrin, I was
told.
I made for M. Perrln's shop. The shop
was closed, nnd the shutters up.
Outside was stuck a card, en which I
icad:
" M. nnd Mine. Perrin are out of town;
they will be back en Tuesday."
It wa3 Saturday. M. and Mtne. Per
rin were enjoying a holiday.
I admired their independence, and
waited till they returned te have my
watch icpalred.
Nobody wants te knew the time in
Normandy, nnd for three days I did as
my happy compatriots.
In business tlie Frenchman is probity
Itself, as a rule, and his punctuality
would almost make an Englishman
stnila He may rather hamper his com cem com
mcrce by attention te trifles, but when
he sells j ou something you may take it
for granted it is what he represents it;
for he is jealous of his geed name as a
tradesman or manufacturer, and likes te
hear compliments of ids goods. IIe
likes the meney made out of them, of
course, but that is net an absei bing point
with him. He is satisfied when he lias
made a modest fortune, and moves en
te make loom for another man. Se that
he lui3 enough te give his never very nu
merous children a sound education and a
geed start iulife, ami procure the modest
comforts of life, he is content.
And this is hew in France you see the
geed things of this world mero equally
divided than in England. Thcre tire few
colossal fortunes; but in the provincial
towns pauperism is net known ns un in
stitution, which makes up for it. I de
net hesitate te nlllrm that net only does
the small Fiench bourgeois net covet
wealth, but that he is almost afraid of it.
He prefers comfort te luxury. IIe con
siders $1,500 a year a very snug Income.
When his government securities nssura
him this sum, he knocks off work aud
prepares te make himself happy and
comfertablo for the rest of his life.
Yeu may well imagine hewaiiuining it
is te hear some times thatthcgoed fellow
has the leputatieu of being unmanage
able and icvolutienary.
He is 6e easily mnuagcable that every
time we have a new ministry he says te
his neighber:
"I see M. So-and-Se Is made prime
minister; de you knew who he is?"
"Net I," nnswers the neighbor; "I had
never heard his name befere."
And both seemed te be concerned
about the new ministry nbnut us much
ns I nm concerned about the ministerial
crisis in the Sandwich Islands. He is se
easily manageable that for peace' sake
he will end nre things that would reuso
nu Englishman te rebellion. He has the
geed fortune te llve under n government
that leeks after him and sees te ull his
little wants, which makes and sells him
fireproof cigars, matches that have
"struck" that is te say, which obsti
nately refuse te strike and that keeps
Ids public- accounts and carries them te
the fourth decimal, a luxury which costs
him a geed fourth of his revenue in per
sonnel and red tape, but which saves the
treasury at least half a crown per nu
llum. The centimes column is guaranteed
exact by every government clerk in
France, and thus it is that Frenchmeu
get consoled for the little errors which
occasionally occur in the column of the
millions. Tlie Frenchman is kept in
order by a legion of Chilians in uniform,
from the prefect down te the omnibus
conductor, who takes him under his pro
tection, demands his fare with an uir of
command, and sets him down at his des
tination ns if he were n parcel. What
ever his government is, he is constantly
complaining of it; but tlie dear mau
our lit te knew that nations have the cev

accuses iim aomiQistrauen or doing let
much for him. Well, he is quite right,
but be does net attempt te de anything
himself. As a clever writer en French
manners said, "lie is taken charge 'of,
bag and baggage, by the government cm
his travels, and carefully looked after ia
his demicile as if he were a child." Ths
man clothed in government uniform as
sumes that arrogant, not-te-bc-quca.
tiened air which would send an English,
man into fits.
When the English appoint n new gov
ernment official, it is another servant
that you add te your household. When
we French nppelnt a new Government
official, it Is a new master that we glve
te ourselves ie snub us or te bully us.
I have an interesting illustration of
this:
Twe young chemists (ens English, the
ether French) were in partnership in
Paris, and ene day made up their minds
te start afresh in Egypt. Each wrete te
his consul in Caire. The Englishman's
letter ran thus:
"DEAn Sin I am about te open busi
ness as a chemist in Caire. Will you be
geed enough te tell me what are my
chances of success in Egypt, and what
formalities, If any, I should have te com
ply with before entering upon the under
taking? Yours truly,
"JenN."
By return pest he received n most po pe po
lite letter containing all the detailed in
formation he wanted.
The young Frenchman wrote:
"MeNBinun le Censul QcxEitAL I
nm desirous of setting up as a cheralsj
in Caire. Dare I hepe that you will
spare a few minutes of your valuable
tlme togive me such information nnd
odvice as you may consider likely te be
of use te me? With many apologies for
intruding upon you, 1 have the honor te
be. Monsieur le consul general, with
gicatcst rcsieci, your meat obedient and
humble cervaut, Jacjui:s."
Tills letter wus written four years
age. The dear fellow is still waiting for
that consul's reply. Of course, his Eng
lish friend is new established in Caire,
comfertublo and prosperous, doing a
rearing trnde in pills with tlie new pro pre
teges of her Britanteic majesty.
