1mnroving West Africa.

The French are just beginning to de- velop their West African provinces Ihey are laying out railroads in French Guinea and deepening the harbors. They nave built a jetty about a thousand feet long at Conakry the capital and chief seaport, and they are cutting wagon roads into the interior
 In Dahomey there are 5000 natives now at work on a railroad which will event. ually extend through the country to Lake Chad, and there connect with the line across the Sahara to Algiers. Fifty miles or this road has already been con structed, and the work will be steadily pushed. Railroads are being built in the French Congo. and also from St. Louis. in Senegal. eastward.
 These West African colonies are un- healthy. Dahomey is hot and malarious and the French Congo is noted for it's levers. The French can never develop the country except by native labor They understand this. and are acting accord ingly. They have set out plantations in Dahomey some distance back from the coast, and are raising cotton there for shipment to France. The cotton is bet ter than the American, and I am told that it brings a higher price in Europe. Cotton fields have been laid out in the French Congo and elsewhere. The labor Is cheap. costing not more than 10 or 20 cents day. In some of the colonies the people are very industrious.

French is the Desert of Sahara. They claim to own the whole western half of 1t. having a territory about half as large as the United States proper, comprising hun dreds of oases and the best caravan routes. A big trade is carried on across the French Sahara from the rich coun- tries of the Soudan south of it to Alge- ria and Tunisia. and it is now proposed to build a railroad over these sandy wastes. This railroad will be about as long as from New York to Salt Lake.
 It will go from the Mediterranean south ward into the Sahara, and will then branch out. one line going to Lake Chad where it will connect with a line to Da- honey and the Atlantic. and the other going In a southwestwardly direction to Timbuktu and the regions of the Upper Niger. The road can never be more than a military one, and 1t is doubtful whether it would pay its running expnesse.
 To-day all travel across the desert Is by camels. The beasts are raised espe- cially for freighting, and there Is regu- lar business of breeding them for cara van travel. There are freight animals and passenger animals, the latter having a gait as easy as that of a good saddle horse. A good riding camel is worth $100 and a good freight animal can be bought for $50. Many of the caravans have 800 camels, 5000 camels coming every year across the Sahara to Timbbktu. These caravan routes are as well laid out as railroad routes. There are no special

this delay have been afforded frequently when freight despatched by the Ameri- can line has been discharged in New York and the ship that brought 1t has reloaded and sailed for Southampton again before the bills of fading for the import cargo have arrived by slower British boat one of John Bulls mail steamers.
 If the United States were to follow the British system it would ship all it's man by the vessels of the American line. which provide weekly eailings from New York to Southampton. So far from doing this. however, Uncle Sam invariably sends out his mail by the best available boats. The result is that mail is despatched from New York five times week instead of twice as from England; and if six-day boat is sailing on the same day with . nine-day boat the former carries the man, which is again in strong contrast to the English system.
 The United States authorities hays un- ocean mails by the establishment of sea postoffices on certain steamers in which postal clerks sort the letters and make them up in convenient packages as 10 done on railway mail cars. The British postofice never has joined in this effort. although the work of the sea postoffices frequently means gain of from six to eight hours. sometimes even mora. in the delivery of letter.
 As further improvement in this di- rection. the United States officials of the postofiice have just arranged with the American line to change it's sailing day so that hereafter its ships leave New

Washington, Nov. 14 190S.-The heaviest and most important international malls in the world are those between New York and London and as the largest and swift est steamships in the world are those plying on the great Atlantic highway the mail service judged by any standard of the past is highly efficient. It Is pecu- liar fact. however. that the mall trav- cling eastward across the Atlantic. that Is from the United States to Great Britain. makes better time than that travelling in the opposite direction. This discrepancy Is due not to quicker voyages in one di- rection but to the difference between the British and American way of handling this particular branch of public business.
 It Is obvious that the efficiency of the ocean mail service depends on two things; frequency with which they are despatch tant as the first. for 1t is evident that three sailings week of seven or eight day boats would give a better service than one sailing of a five day boat since two thirds of the mails would reach their destination more quickly.
 This Illustrates just the difference be- tween John Bull and Uncle Sam when acting in the capacity of International postmaster. The English authorities. who are particularly solicitous to prevent any money from their mail service going to help American shipping. have regarded the foreign mall service as tool to help exclusively British companies. while the American postal officials look upon 1t as purely business enterprise. as any

 In America their services are unre- munerated and often unappreciated, but In the Celestial empire this is, not the case, for the thrifty Chinese has found means of turning a natural talent into a means of livelihood.
 In China elderly ladies are regularly employed as gossips. and they are well paid. It Is usual for them to go round to the best houses beating drum to announce their arrival and to offer their services to the lady of the house as en- tertainers If their offer be accepted they sit down and tell the latest news the choicest scandal and anything which they think may interest their hearers. Should their stock in trade prove very delectable they very likely go away with a handsome present in addition to their regular fee. which is at the rate of 25 cents an hour. Some of these profes- sional gossips have large number of clients whom they visit at regular inter- ValS.

CLEVER LITTLE sTORIEs.

Some years ago a Haitian general wrote to Paris optician. fiattering him. self that a successful eye would secure for him Haitian decoration. devoted his utmost intelligence to the production of a splendid glass optic Six months elapsed; a small box reached him from Haiti. A cross glittered in his imagina- ton, but to his horror. within folds of cotton, was his original eye, accompa- nied by the following note "Sir: The eye you forwarded to me is of tint that resembles that of the Spanish flag and am too patriotic to wear any but the color of my country" The optician pro- ceeded at once to the admiralty, there to ascertain the colors of the Haitian flag and then manufactured a scarlet and green eye. which he forwarded.
 A balloon ascension was about to be made in Brussels in the presence of King Leopold by a French aeronaut, M. Ma dar.

letters will be sent on the American line from Southampton but comparatively few people will take the trouble to study the sailing schedules and to provide this special direction.
 The English papers have frequently criticised this system of sacrificing the convenience of the business world to the profit of British steamship companies and the London Express recently published a table showing that the postofflce au- thorities frequently sacrificed a day or even two by sending mails by such ships as the Saxonia and Ivernia when one of the crack American liners. as for example the St. Louis or St. Paul. was sailing on the same day.
