Could Jump As Far as Ever.

In town just outside of Boston, where
the people generally live to good old
age, there is man of SO summers who
peddles out his own crop of apples around
the country every fall. On one of the
peddling trips last week the old gentle.
man was invited to take dinner, and had
just seated himself at the table when he
suddenly jumped up. Forgot to hitch
my hoss, by hokey," said he. He
skipped out Of the room like an s-year-
old boy playing hop scotch, and in an
other minute or two skipped back again
in the same lively manner and resumed
his seat at the table. ~Why Uncle -
said his host, you act as though you
were 30 years old instead of 49," ~Ohi
yes, said the old man, leaning back in
his chair, I'm just as young as I ever
was. Why. ken jump jest as fur as
ever could, only I can't light 80 easy"

A Study of French Life.

A good place to study French life is in
the market on the regular days Tues
days and Fridays. Along the sides of
the building are stalls kept by women
from the city. These are open every
day. The center of the market is occu-
pied by country people, who come in
but twice week. Some of the old
women take great pride in their stalls,
and decorate them with flowers of all
colors, while the fruits are laid in artis-
tic and tempting display. The whole
effect is most picturesque as one enters
at the far end of the market, the gay
and varied colors contrasting prettily
with the gray stone walls.
Women in their different costumes
walk about from place to place inspect
ing all before they buy. Ladies with
their maids to carry baskets harangue
with the vendors about prices and quail
ity. About the latter they are more
easily satisfied than they would be in the
United States. for there is very little
adulteration here. When one buys
sugar they are pretty sure of having the
real, pure article. and not something
half glucose. Everything is inspected
before passing the customs, and il not
good is thrown away. Eggs are very
fresh. and butter, although unsalted, is
usually good.-Havre Cor. Cleveland
Leader.
