A Good Way to Learn French.

Arthur Souau Doyie, III the outiook-

that original French edition of Vernes early
novels, which was illustrated more SPLEEN

of his author, and there was something
vague, grand and suggestive about these
fine pictures which appealed irresistibly to a
boys imagination and made him feel that
he must in some way another-even by
going the extreme length of reading the
story in foreign tongue-find out what it
was all about.

Greatest Smokers of Europe,
From Pearson's Weekly.

From PEARSON Weekly.
The Hollanders are, perhaps, of all the
northern peoples, those who smoke the
most. The humidity of their climate makes
it almost necessity, and the very moder-
ate cost of tobacco renders it accessible to
all To show how deeply rooted is the
habit, 1t is enough to say that the boatmen
OF the trekschuit, the aquatic diligence of
Holland measure distance by smoke From
here, they say, to such and such a place it
is, not so many miles. but so many pipes.
When you enter a house, after the first
salutations, your host offers you cigar:
when you take leave he hands you an
other, and often insists upon filling your
cigar case.
In the streets you see persons lighting a
fresh cigar with the burning stump of the
last one, without pausing in their walk and
with the busy air of people who do not
wish to lose moment of time or a mouth
full of smoke. Many go to sleep with nine
in mouth. relight it il they wake in the
night, and again In the morning before they
step out of bed. 1t really does appear that
smoking is for the Dutchman a necessary
vital function. Many people think that so
much smoke dulls the Intelligence Never
theless, If there be a people, as Esquiroz
justly observes, whose intellect Is OF the
clearest and highest precision, it Is the
Dutch people.

Italy's Industrial Advance.

Not many people in the United States are
fully aware of how rapidly Italy is ad-
vancing in industrial Importance. In some
ways northern Italy has in the last ten
years shown promising development In
industrial way is to be found any
where In Europe The never-failing water
supply of the snow-topped mountains is be-
ing utilized by the electrical engineers in a
way which promises to convert northern
Italy into great industrial state. Nowhere
in Europe is there a population better fitted
to aid in an industrial development. The
people deXterous, quick to learn and
industrious, and up to the present time the
general wage scale compares favorably
with that of any competitors which they
have to meet The result of these favor
able conditions has been, for instance, the
development of the silk industry at a rate

In Germany. Spain and Holland textile
goods are made out of wood, and it is prob-
able that this industry will soon spread to
France. The process consists in making
the wood-pulp pass directly through a me-
tallic plate with a number of Sits result
ing in the formation of thin ribbons, which
pass from the slitted plate directly to ma
chine which twists them, transforming
them into very regular threads of any de-
sired size. The wood-fiber threads thus
produced so by the names of xyloline, silva
line and licella; they are classified by num-
Der like the other threads in use Mixed
with hemp threads they have been used to
make towels. These mixed fabrics readily
admit of washing. dying and printing; the
