less than one-third of its size, and shortly after
this the French got hold of it. Boaaparte re-

The railroads of both Holland and Belgium
nav very cheap fares, and those of Belgium
are the cheapest in Europe. The rates are
about three cents per mile for first class, two
cents for second, and one and one-half cents
for third class travel. Almost all trains have
the three classes, and the second class com
partments are good. The 'roadbeds of Bel.

A BELGIAN MILK A Il

The dogs or Belgium and Holland work
about as hard as the women, but if / were
to be born in Belgium, and had the choice
only between being a working dog or a work
ing woman, l would choose the lot of the dog.
Tie dog gets a rest when his cart stops, the
woman seems always busy. These dogs are
as a ruiz a shaggy haired variety of
mongrel They are strong and angular and
they pull their loads without growing. Often
three or four are harnessed up together and |
have seen nobby little rwo-wheeled carts con-
tanning four heavy men pulled by three dogs.
Many OF the carts are small t9so-wheeled
hand wagons, which have a bar behind for
pushing, and this is manipulated by the
woman vegetable seller or peddler. The dog
in this case is harnessed under the cart and
he pulls away with all his might whenever
his mistress orders.
Iiie milk of the Belgian cities is peddlod
about by women in dog carts, and your
average milk peddler is quite a picturesque
object. She wears the costume of the Belgian
peasant woman of the better class, with
Q white cap covered with a straw poke bon
net, q bright plaid shawl folded across her
bosom and tucked in at her waist, a long
dress and an apron. Her car is fearfully and
wonderfully made, and its wide earlike flaps
fall down over the front of her shoulders.
She carries a measure in her hand and her
dog is always well satisfied to sit or lie down
when she stops for her customers.

These Belgian peasants have among them
some very good looking girls, and when
young they make quite a pretty picture in their
Shaker-ilse bonnets and their Furitan.like
caps. remember one, especially, who had
evidently come into Antwerp with her father.
Doubtless a prosperous farmer, to do some
shopping. She was about 16 and her cheeks
had the dark, rosy tint common to these
people, who are ever favored by the breezes
OF the Nortk sea. Her hair was black and
glossy, and it hung down in bangs over her
forehead, above two. as gently beautiful soft
hazel eyes as | nave ever seen in any drawing
room. Her cap was of the whitest. the rib
bons of her bonnet a bright cardinal and
black plaid, and her bright red dress was
hiied In With a square bosom of white plated
linen, a large loose collar was clasped under
her, chin by u big breastpin of gold, and a
Tine gold chain suspended a jet cross over her
bosom. Her lips were as red as those of
hnoen's beauties in the Antwerp galleries.
ana her form was as plump and round as that
OF the models of this great Belgian master.

in no other country. 1t is that of the aen-

This aoggerel OF the old saw seems to he
the rule in both Holland and Belgium.
Susan B. Anthony and Henry Bergh should
spend a summer in the low countries of
northern Europe. Susan would go back
thanking her stars that American women
have as many rights as they have, and Henry
would applaud America as a country noted
for its g~entleness rather than for its cruelty
to animals. In Belgium and Holland the
dog and the woman seem to do more work
than the horse and the man. / saw here in
Antwerp to-day a delicate woman of forty
years sitting on a stone pile in the hrolllng
sun breaking stone with a heavy hammer.
She was clad in a cotton gown, and her small
feet were covered with heavy wooden clogs.
Her head of brown hair, into which the silver
was creeping, was bare, and her sad face,
bronzed with the burning rays of the sun
was wrinkled and worn. 1t was not a coarse
face, nor one / judged that could not under
favorable circumstances have been refined
and loving. But the light was drowned out
of it by hard labor, II she did not
smile as she looked YEARLY up at me in re-
spending to a question about the way. You
may see women here and in Holland helping
dogs to pull carts, and sometimes they are
harnessed themselves in company with the
dogs. They carry great ioads upon their
heads, and doaii sorts OF manual labor. Not
many weeks ago there was a scandal in
Europe as to the c~ruelties practised upon
them IN their work in the coal ,uines, and /
see them digging in the fields, loading hay,

Pail Mall Gazette.

Pail Mall Gazette.
The Widdln correspondent OF the
St. Petersburg Novosti sends to that
newspaper the following account of a
young Bulgarian girl who took all
active part i'll the late war against
Servia, distinguished herself at
Slivnitza and at Prot and received
two crosses for bravery. Previous to
the outbreak of hostilities she joined
a company Of militia-such compa-
nies were then forming in various parts
OF Bulgaria-and accompanied it to
the southern frontier in the hope OF
there meeting with the enemy. Dur
ing some time she managed to con-
ceal her sex, for her comrades took
her to be q youth with an effeminate
face, of which there were many such
to be met with among the militia.
Only the commander of her company
knew her secret; she was obliged to
disclose it to him when the company
set out upon it's march, and he ap-
pears to have loyalty kept it to him
self In all exercises, parades and re-

declared war against Bulgaria, the
heroine took part in the forced march
into Servia, fought at the battle oi
Slivnitza and joined in the attack
upon Prot. During the fight she did
all she could to encourage her COM
rades and they, in return, unanimous.
ly voted to her the company's medal
for bravery. When in consequence OF
the war coming to an end, the militia
was dispersed, she went to Sophia,
and was there presented to Prince
Alexander, who awarded to her a
second decoration for bravery. She
then returned to Widdin, her place ol
.domiciIe before the war, where she
acts as servant to an old lady.
She says that should the Servians
begin another war she will again fight
them but in her woman's attire, for
it is not worth while to change ones
dress for such an enemy.

A tall citizen of Virginia walked into
police headquarters recently and de-
clared to the officers in charge that he

had participated in dynamite ex-
pedition. He evidently expected the

The man who tried to rob me actually
had the audacity to strike me, sir, in
the face. He thought l had money,
but mistakes will occur to anybody
He was simply in error. But. sir, he

judge grew confidential as he continu.
ed. "You see, / could have defended
myself, sir, under ordinary circum.

DISCRIMINATING the Mackerel.

A writer in the Bo ,ton Journal, urg-
ing the enactment OF the bill before
congress prohibiting the taking OF
mackerel during their spawning sea-
son, says that ifsomething is not done
to protect this most valuable fish
during that period there is but one re-.
suit to follow, and that is extermina-
tion. Twenty-Five years ago the catch
depended upon the caprice of the fish,
because they were almost wholly taken
by hook and line, but with the intro
duction and universal use of the purse
seine the fish are ''gobbled up" hun
dreds of barrels at time. It is now
the practice of the fishermen, their
fleet consisting of from 100 to 200
sail, to 60 down nearly in the latitude
OF Cape Hatteras to meet the fish as
they advance northward to their
spawning grounds. Each ofthese ves-
sells operates from one to two purse
seines, every one of which is capable
of taking from ten to 500 barrels at a
"shot"; each barrel contains from $50
to 200 mackerel, and every female
contains from $4,000 to $50, 900
eggs. Allowing one-haf the contents
OF each barrel to be female, it is found
that with every barrel Of fish killed
during their spawning season there
is also destroyed about "a, ,OC0, 600
eggs.

from Sing Sing, ". A slip taken
from q newspaper was pasted at the
top of the letter, which stated that
during that year there was a large
number of widows i'll Gloucester oc-
casioned by the loss of lives among
the fishing fleet. The letter says:
"The thought occurred to me that
there might be some one among these
widows who would like a good hus-
band. l am q widower, no children,
sound and substantial, the owner of
two good farms, also hotel, and
have considerable personal property,
so that / have the means to take care

Secretary Stanton and Governor
Yates.

John Moses in the Chicago Tribune.
When we entered the Office of the
sturdy secretary was at once struck
with his brusque manners and rapid
style in the dispatch of business.
Several governors had already been in,
Kirkwood being there when we entered.
He talked to the latter as if he were
the subordinate officer OF country
militia company. ! saw by the storm
that was gathering on the face Of
Yates that it would be just as well
for the secretary not to attempt any
kind OF "foolishness" with him.
When Kirkwood left, turning to Yates,
the great secretary said: "Well, there
is another of them gone; l was in
hopes had gotten rid OF you govern
ors-what do you want, Yates?"
"By Cd, SIR" exclaimed Yates, "1
won't, in the first place, to be treated
like a gentleman. | would like to have
you understand, Stanton, that am
the governor OF the state OF Illinois,
and as such am entitled to be
respected. I'd like to know what
would become OF you or this war but
for the support OF the loyal governors
of the free states. | did not come
here to beg for anything, but to in
form you, as the head OF the war Office
OF the government, what are the just
demands of the state of Illinois, which
l am here to see respected
1t looked blue for minute, but
there was no further trouble with
Stanton. He apologized to the gov
ernor, and explained that there had
been an unusual amout OF friction in
his Office that morning, and that the
governor must overlook his abrupt
ness and apparent want of courtesy.
Before they parted, Yates and the
secretary were on very friendly terms,
understanding each other all the bet
ter on account of the little disturb
ance at the beginning OF their inter-
view
