THE VICES OF BRITTANY.
Strange Condition of Inhabitants
Who Are So Near to the Great
French Capital.

Having spent two summers in Brit
tany, find myself wondering that one
can be so near and yet so far from civ
ilization; that in this day and genera
ton, in a country whose advanced
thinkers lead the world, there can be
people SO ignorant of all that makes
life acceptable to an enlightened peo-
pie. Their semicivilized manner of life
and thought, however, will not be
changed until the new generations are
taught in public schools that life is
made up of duties which each godly,
person owes to himself.
Take, for instance the thing that is
| next to godliness-cleanline The
Bretons have not the least notion of
what it is. To get into their home,
which more properly should be called
huts, one must step through deep
mire of muddy manure, which rots
there from years end to years
end. The pigs live with the people, and
if the cows and oxen do not it is be-
cause they either cannot get into the
doors or they would take up too much
room in the small houses.
The children grow up like little saw
ages until they are put into the hands
of sisters to be taught their letters,
then the teaching that concerns soul
and body is done by sisters who know
little about life, health, the discipline
ing of minds, the teaching of truth and
righteousness hardly more than the
parents of these children do. Thus
generation after generation goes on
with the same habits, with the same
| vices, utterly ignorant of progress, of
enlightenment.
Drinking in Brittany is scourge,
says correspondent of the Brooklyn
Eagle. The soberest have their days
in which they usually get dead drunk.
In Pont Aven l had woman come an
hour in the evening to do some work.
She told me from the beginning that
| she could not come on Thursdays be-
cause she was obliged to go and get
| her husband from the marchand de
| vim, for that was the day he got drunk.
| You will find common bedroom in
each house in which the whole family
sleep. 1 have seen these rooms with
bed in each corner in which mother,
father, grandmother and grandfather
and six small children sleep and the
| pigs and their family had sty in the
middle of the room. And yet it is said
that Brittany is a moral country; but
doubtless their idea of morality is a
| broad one.

Wanted a Receipt.

An old colored nanny who was
taking her first ride in the trolley
cars saw the folks seated near her
get transfers when they had paid
their fare. When the conductor came
for her fare she handed it to him,
and he passed on. Then nanny
called out: "Say, yo' man, why fo'
yo'. dom glib me a receipt To- my
money same as yo' glib dem white
folks? Yo' ought. to be 'shamed o.
yo'sef to treat po' ole cullud woman
dat er way."-Baltimore American.

Cattle for state Fair.

Secretary Randall of the Minnesota
state fair has returned from Chicago,
where he met the directors of the
American Shorthorn Breeders associa-
ton and the American Hereford Breed
ers' association, and with each of these
organizations he arranged for another
exhibition of cattle and auction sale,
to be held at the Minnesota fair in
September.
In each case the arrangement for
1902 was duplicated. This means that
$4 900 in premiums will be offered for
Shorthorn cattle at the fair this year,
and that like amount will be given
for Herefords, but it also means that
the display of cattle will be larger
than in 1902, and that the number OF
heads offered for sale at auction will
be much increased.

overlook so many of the Greedy
party.
EYES," said the former explorer to
a New York Herald reporter, when
the subject was referred to, II have
completed arrangements for another
effort to reach the pole, and expect
to leave for the far north as early
in the spring as possible. Mr.. Nc
Donnell is constructing an airship
which 1 believe will make the trip
comparatively easy. We can go to
the SEVENTEEN parallel in ships, and
after establishing provision camp
at that point, can start north in the
airship. There is no reason why the
distance between the SEVENTEEN par
allel and the pole may not be over
come in such ship, for in the light
of recent achievements in aerial navi-
cation the probabilities are all in
favor of a successful voyage over
Arctic ice and snow. I have exam
ined Mr.. McDonnell's working model,
and believe the ship when constructed
will perform every function that the
model represents"
Lieut.. Lockwood and Sergts Fred
ericks and Brainard were detailed to
make the famous dash for the pole
when it was discovered that it was
impossible for the entire Greedy
party to proceed further north, ow-
ing to the exhausted state of so many
of the men. The three reached a
point 394 miles from the pole, and it
was the experience in this section
that has convinced Fredericks the
hardest part of the undertaking was
accomplished before reaching the
eighty-third parallel, and that, had
they been in as robust condition as
when they first reached the Artic re-
gions, they could easily have reached
the pole.
1t was the revelations made on this
trip and between the eighty-frst and
eighty-third parallels that have
caused Sergt. Fredericks to turn
again to the far north. for upon them
he has built theories which he be-
lieves can be fully verified, and which,
if demonstrated to be true, would be
the grandest heritage that he could
leave his children. This theory is
nothing more nor less than that the
country at the eighty-third parallel
was once inhabited by people far
advanced in civilization, and that as
the pole is approached the climate
moderates and Immediately around it
there are all kinds of vegetation to
sustain animal life.
He also believes that the people
who once lived at the eghty-third
parallel have moved further north to
escape the increasing cold; that these
people now inhabit the country i'm
mediately around the pole, that he
has actually seen the city in which
they live, and the hills and Wales,
covered with verdure, on which their
cattle Craze and which they cult
vate.

BEvERIDGE AU NATURAL.

The spectacle of Senator Beveridea
dead broke in a restaurant in Fort
Wayne, with no one in the place to-
identify him and laboring under the
suspicion of being a deadbeat seeking
TO obtain meal under false pretenses,
is, in the circumstances, little short OF
fascinating. When it is explained THAI
1t all came about through the loss of
the money which he placed in his
pocket when he left home, and when
it becomes fixed in the mind that this,
happened to Beveridge, there is much
less cause for sympathy than for
amusement, not to speak of felicia,
ton.
The story, as it is published in the
newspapers. indicates that Senator
Beveridge acted precisely as any other
man would have done in the same
plight. In the parlance of our Metho-
dist friends. that is a blessed assur-
ance," and it reveals the senator from
Indiana in an entirely new light to the
world. 1t is more than gratifying to
learn that Mr.. Beveridge was dressed
in an cid suit of clothes, that he wore
a. slouch hat. and. heaven be praised.
that he was without waistcoat. AS
no man with civilized instincts ever
without a waistcoat, it is inferred that
Beveridge has been seen at least once.

ment of that style and pattern

being asked what he thought of Bev-
eridge. replied: He is all right, but he
was pulled too SOON" Now, while this
has the sound Of a good epigram, it
nevertheless fails to state the truth.
The thing that is the matter with Bev-
erlGge Is that he is overdone. With his
really handsome and interesting face
ami his symmetrical figure ne would
be all the more attractive If he could let
loose of certain suggestion Of Tur-
reydrop, MIR. Dickens master of de-
pertinent" which the youthful senator
unoonsciously conveys. Beveridge is
always boxed up too tight in his clothes
and he seems to depend too much for
Importance on the stiffness of his col
lars. He is able as man of his
age can be. and as clever as any per-
son you will come across in a days
travel. Put somehow, he gives one the
impression Of being stilted and enor-
mouSly Self-consciouS.
The public which greatly admires
Beverage. will realize all of the delic-
ious quality of the picture of this Adj
mirab bic Crichton of Indiana, clean
strapped in a Fort Wayne restaurant,
dressed in careless and seedy style,
and so acutely annoyed about being
taken for a deadbeat as to forget all
about everything else. Heretofore the
public has regarded Senator Beveridge
with admiration. Henceforth it will
regard him with affection.
