A Smart Bootblack.

ltlrW-l'r lvrUu
The hoothlackSnmmr is Henry ljrom-
ley. and he is from the good old state Of
Massachusetts. He has followed the
business Of backing boots all his life
time, but some time ago the business
in the BAY state grew 50 dull that he
was reduced to backing boots for one
cent a pair, This was a little cheap
he thought, and So he conceived Il plan
whereby he could shneboOtS 50 cheaply
that he could get a large patronage the
old principle, "quick sales and small
profits" The following was his plan;
lie had large number of cards printed
which he sold for ten cents each. Every
card had ON it numbers from one to six
inclusive, which represented six shines
The name and place Of business of
every man to whom Il ticket was sold
was taken down in the hOotblack'S book
The bootblacl then called upon his
customers regularly and every time
he hlacked pair Of boots he punch
ed hole in the ticket of the owner
The plan proved very popular and the
business grew very large. A short
time ago the bootblack appeared in this
city, and, as he stated during the inter
view, he has found between 400 and
500 customers. His business has in
creased so that he now has seven boys
working for him. The plan of the lid
is well conceived, and if he continues
as he has begun he seems to be assured
of iirst-class wages for his work.

The Water Courses and Railways OF
France

New York Times
France furnishes Il valuable example
to the United States in the matter of
canals. The republic is not only COW
cred with Il network Of railways, but
its natural and artificial Waterways
are employed for transportation Of
freight to what appears to us Il marvel
OuS extent. The internal navigation of
France forms vast system connecting
the principal points with one another.
BY means of canals the chief rivers are
brought into communication. Paris is
the center of this great network of
rail and water. The length of the en-
tire water system is GOOOmileS, against
10000 miles of railways. Save 600
miles run by private companies, the en-
tire system is administered by the state,
The length of the canals is 5000 miles,
and their total cost is SljL 100000,
! The CanaliZed rivers made nayigahlc by
movable dams with side locks, have a
length of 1000 miles, and S4S,OOO,OOO
have been expended upon them. Nearly
/ S}O,OOO,OO0 have been laid ont ON the
mcanali2ed rivers since 1881. One of
the most important articles carried is
coal. All the rivers have tOw-paths
along their banks. The methods of
! tOwagr are various by men or horses,
or by steam tugs. Comparing water
inc with Il railway between two given
points, the former is usually more
crooked. One thousand feet by water
may he called equivalent to 500 by rail
Under these conditions the average
price of Il ton of freight by the two
ways is as two to three; the railway in
creaSing the price of transportation 81
per cent, but offering in return the aG.
vantage of speed. The freight iSahout
equally divided between rail and water
If the difference in the cost of carrying
one ton one mile, between rail and
water, be set at about One-third of Il
cent, and this be applied to the 1900.
100000 of mle-tOns annually carried
on the French rivers, the difference
would annually amount to $5,OO0,0O0; "a
most important economy in the reduc.
ton of the price of articles. Within
the last few years important improve
ments have taken place in the construc.
tion of movable dams and river gates,
and are still going on easily and with
comparatively little expense, permitting
the utilization of rivers hitherto un.
navigable. 1t is well to pay attention
