reacAi.s Pedestria,ism.

The fastest profession in Paris is that of teaching timid females and ot- hers how to walk about the streets. M. Pierre Brousset who reads his newspaper assiduously, was struck by the number of accidents which daily occur by bedestrians being knocked down by automobiles and autobuses. and the Idea occurred to him that quite a decent living could be got by start. ing school where people would Do taught how to avoid these vehicles when crossing the streets. M. Pierre Brousset, who is . tall. handsome man, with . military bearing. has already . large number of pupils. and he can be seen with them at different periods of the day crossing and re-crossing the streets at the time of tho busiest traf- hc. My system" says M. Brousset "is simplicity itself. I merely teach people the rules of the road. Most accidents are caused by people, especially ladies, losing their heads and darting about in all directions until tho poor driver does not know where to steer his ma chine. My pupils are taught to bear strictly in mind the rules of right and left When first starting to cross the road look to your left for the vehicles coming in that direction; when once in the middle of the road. look to the right for the same reason.

 Morgan VI Italy.
 The inspection of Pierpont Morgan's yacht by the officials of the Italian customs at Venice has caused great amusement throughout Europe, al- though the millionaire himself was much annoyed by it What is not so well known as the report of this search now is. is that the incident arises out of a duel between MT. Morgan and the Italian Customs dating from some years back. Up to now Mr. Morgan has all through had the laugh on his side. When the famous Ascoli cope was of fered, to Mir. Morgan. 1t having es- capped the eagle eye of the Customs and | art commission. MT. Morgan bought 1t. He then. as is well known. made . par fcei-of it. and returned 1t without in- surfing it or even registering 1t to As- coli. The King decorated him, but the Customs people and the art commits | sioners were excessively angry and avowed to have revenge. which they have been trying to effect ever since. but without any more satisfactory re- suits to them than the failure just recorded.
