the same courteous eivilify % Of old.
Your coachmAn, starting in the evening,
finds himself wifhouta match 10 light
his lamps; he stops st 6 stand, asks for
one and receives it with as much polite
ceremony as If giver and receiver were
dukes. 1t 10 little matter, but il IL one
in which the Anglo-Saxons have some
thing to learn.
The features of rural scenery in France
have been less noticed than the attrac-
tons of Paris. Indeed French country
life is hardly known at all to mere tour
lists, who pass hastily from great city to
great city, many never stopping after
they have quilted the capital. In con-
trast with English and American fields,
there are practically no fences. Multi
tudinous farms lie alongside, with their
crops disposed in narrow ribbons OF
wheat, oats, sanfoin, potatoes, turnips,
hemp, and, in the South, vines, with no
boundary that catches the eye. The va
riety of color is great, and the effect to
the eye is pleasing, but the arrangement
suggests the smallness of tbs farms and
the multiplicity of proprietors. Ma
chinery does little, the hand does most.
In a ride of nine hours by rail, in harvest,
only one reaping. machine was seen. One
consequence of this arrangement is the
utilization of every foot Of the soil. Earl
Russell once described Irish fences as
earthen Notifications, along the road tops
of which q carriage might be driven.
There is an improvement in this respect,
but there Ia room for more. No such
waste occurs here. A mans wheat
drops it's heavy heads over the carrots of
his neighbor, without bit Of unsightly
or useless soil between.
The absence OF cattle from the fields ID
less agreeable feature. From Paris to
Dion, a run of over three hundred miles,
in only two Instances were cattle seen
feeding. One could understand the
heavy back-loads of grass, vine-leaves,
and the like, being carried home by the
women, who certainly take their full
share, apparently, in the labors of the
field. The cattle have to be provided for
in their sheds. In q few cases flocks of
sheep were seen in patches from which
the crop had beer. removed, q man on one
side, and dog on the other defending
the crops from them. Poor thingsl they
looked embarrassed and uncomfortable,
very like company of Saxons making
believe to be at their ease in the dreary
interval that precedes public dinner.
One would rather see them ranging freely
over the green expanse, as on the Eng
lish downs, or the Scottish moors. II
they think at all in France, they no
doubt feel that, like bipeds in many
places, "they are governed too much"
One misses also the birds which give
90 much pleasure in an English landscape.
Even solemn add reverend crow in his
spotless black, or pair of magpies with
their look of self.satisfed impudence,
one prefers TO the total absence of birds.
Under the impression that they were mis-
chievous, the departments once set a
premium on the heads of small birds,
and their determination was effected.
Then ID was found out too late, that in
obtaining their aboard" che feashered
visitors paid for their slodgings By de-
strOying the insects. But the evil was
done; and 10 10 easier 10 drive q good
