Cooks coupons we should feel safe
we should be as comfortably lodged as
possible.
There is one thing that we could
not depend upon. and that was the
trains in the southern countries. The
good intentions of the companies are
not lacking. No, they simply find it
impossible to carry them out. On an
italian timetable we read this re-
markable statement, Such a train
leaves at $50 but the passengers had
better be ahead of time as the train
may start earlier or later than the
scheduled time" We generally found
it to be considerably later. Such
proved the case the afternoon we
started for Italy. We left in order 10
reach Ventenvlle, the frontier town, at
nine O'Clock, but we did not succeed in
reaching that city until three O'Clock
in the morning.
We were glad to go slowly, for on
one SIDE we had the Mediterranean
and on the other the Maritime Alps,
and as we went through the French
Riviera we could see the different OBJ
jects of interest almost as plainly as
if we had been driving. The only
other occupant of our compartment
was a pleasant English lady, who had
travelled much, and knew the customs
and manners Of Italy and the Italians
She impressed it upon us to crowd to
the windows at each station, SO tina,
passengers looking in would think the

would go on to the next car. We found
it worked much better than tipping
Even after night came on, the full
moon shed such a radiancy over the
entire landscape, that it was as light
as day.
At half past one we reached the
VIGOROUSLY famous Monte Carlo, and
at that hour the people We're going and
coming as if it were day. Although
the place was gorgeously Respondent
with palms and stately villas, we had
no desire. to stop, but hurried on t.

One morning when the weather was
more suggestive of summer than
tempestuous March day, we left
Avignon on the seven o'clock train.
bound for Marseilles. The scenery was
fort, then some precipitous cliffs
sheltered the Rhone in its downward
plunge. and here and there in some
quieter stretch a ferry-man plodded
back and forth.
At Aries We noticed the arena, the
old Roman theatre, now used for
French bull fights. Unfortunately we
were out of season for these bull
fights but we had them graphically
described to us. Pictures of the cruel
Spanish sports naturally come to ones
mind at the mere mention of this word,
but the bull-fights of southern France
are harmless diversions, more stupid
than cruel. If city has an arena like
the one which we passed at Aries, the
bull-fight takes place in it, otherwise
the townspeople improvise one out Of
barrels and kegs The bulls are
brought in the night before from some
ranch, generally in a closed wagon, but
sometimes on special occasions, they
are driven through the streets, and II
the bulls ever chance to break away,
they return to the place from whence
they came.
The bull-fght itself IS more like
some Fourth Of July game, than
wicked pastime. a rosette is fastened
between the bulls horns by Il wire, and
in this rosette there is often five
dollars, ten dollars or even larger
sum. The object of the game is to get
the rosette or cocasde as is IS called,
and so get the money. This has to be
accomplished while the bull is running.
Sometimes the men are armed with
tridents, and again they are not.
Someone has said OF the game
It's nothing at all. They just turn
the bull loose in the arena, then they
turn the populace loose. First the bull
chases the populace, then the populace
chases the bull It's nothing much
Nobody ever gets hurt"

PAPER TRUST.

Mr.. Watkins, a member of
Congress from Louisiana, dur
ing a speech in the House this
week, denounced the paper com
bine and urged the removal of
duty on wood pulp. If such a
duty were removed, wood pulp
would come in great quantities
from Canada and the forests of
the United States which are be-
ing rapidly denuded, would be
longer preserved and the efforts
to renew and keep up the for
ests which havo the attention of
the Forestry Commission would
be promoted. ''One of the hydra
