welfare.
Bordeaux, in southwestern France, is a large
city of 100000 inhabitants and situated a river
navgable for the largest ships. 1t has a fine
wharf, magnificent bridge and a large shipbuild-

Bordeaux is a rich city. 1t has 4 900 wine mer-

a large shipping point by boat and rail. It has
many large buildings, particularly its theater rail-

streets beautiful squares and parks Its residence
houses are attractive and convenient Bordeaux

of more than 900 inhabitants, is the second

Paris the largest city the continent of Eu-
rope, situated on the River Seine, with popula-
ton of 2 800 900 inhabitants, is doubtless the
most beautiful large city in the world AS a gen
eral thing it is built up solidly, with buildings
quite uniform in size and shape. The city has
numerous squares, about which remarkable
structures in size, architecture, elegance and
venience. Some of these squares have handsome
columns, statuary etc Many attractive small
parks are found in the city and very large ones
outside. The boulevards are wide, well paved
and are Systematically extended through the
whole city for convenience of travel and traffic.
These boulevards are almost constantly alive with
carriages, cabs and omnbuses and their sidewalks
and crossings with pedestrians, The electric ON
nibus or motor has about driven the horse con-
veyances out of business.
The river Seine, running through the city. has
been made a thing of beauty and service. In the
summer it affords the passengers on its boats cool
and otherwise pleasant transportation. 1t re-

every sort for making money. Booths with all
manner of things for sale, side shows of many
kinds with displays and curious things to enter

that made II appear to the best advantage from
sea or land but It did not seem to be in con-
venient place for worshpers of the city. At
the entrance of one of the smaller docks
harbors is a ferry unlike any other in the world
that / have seen. There are iron steel towers
at both sides of the entrance. A very long iron
steel truss bridge is constructed over the
trance and supported by these towers at a great
height that vessels with the highest masts can
go under it. From this bridge truss there are
wire ropes rather iron fastenings that go down
to the fiat ferry boat, which was drawn back and
forth over the entrance by power exerted on the
bridge above. The ferry moves along very
smoothly and quickly, carrying a large number
OF vehicles and passengers. Marsees has a large
traffic i'm business and passenger travel.
Nancy in northern France is a quaint and
hOmelike old city with population of 1O2,96O
inhabitants. 1t has large and handsome cathe-

attractive. 1t is large and surrounded by many
