FRENCHMEN DON'T TRAVEL.

M. Bonvalto, the distinguished ex-
plorer. is constantly eXhorting his fell
iow-countrymen to travel, ard his ap-
peals are once more leading to a re-
view OF the reasons which render the
average Gaul so averse to adventure
beyond his own frontier, says the Lon
don Telegraph. How does it happen,
y is asked, that so few, even of the
younger generation of Frencbmen, dis.
play any inclination to see the worE.
although at their age, many Anglo
hnXons have already been round il?
Two main explanations for these
s'ay-at-h0mc propensities are volun-
;eered. One is that people in France
rarely trouble themselves to learn for
c1gn languages, SO that they are like
f'sh OUT OF water when they go abroad.
Another Ia that they arc absolutely ig-
a?rant OF the, practical side of travel
And have little idea OF the articles that
