Charm Of French Rural Life
by FRANK PREsBREY.

Normandy and Brittany towns
have quiet sweetness in which the
strident call of commerce and the
hustle and noise of our American
towns are strangers. Wherever COM
mercial activity comes in the charm
goes out. There is little striking in
the contrast between the country and
the small towns. You leave the brill
liant colored peoples in the fields to
meet the tinlid, open eyed children in
the village streets, and you simply
exchange the peasants working at the
roadside for the white capped women
knitting in their doorways, and the
men, wooden saboted and clad in
blouses and baggy trousers at their
work. There are no striking con-
trasts between country and village
such as we are accustomed to in
America. A Normandy or Brittany
village Is but cluster of houses and
matched rooted cottages, picturesque
ly set amid the trees and fields. OF
course the larger places lose from me-
cessity the pastoral features OF the
villages, but in them You see nothing
of the broken down and often filthy
outlying sections observable as you
approach most American cities. If
the section is one OF poverty it will
be picturesque--not made hidcous
with the dumpings of empty cans and
the towns refuse. Neatness and at
tempt at identifying are observable
everywhere. Even in the country we
found the edges of the roads and the
rows of trees often trimmed with
care. No family is so poor that it
cannot have some bright flowers in
window boxes and a greater variety
in the always present little garden.
One of the most notable features OF
both town and country is the absolute
lack of idleness. Thrift and indus
try are written everywhere. This is
characteristic of the French people,
and it shows in their Governmental
balance sheet, for France has not one
cent of bonded Indebtedness held by
any one except French people. When
Bismarck levied a war indemnity on
France after the Franco-Prussian
War in 1870 it was paid tout of the
stockings" of the masses with a
promptness that surprised the world.

COLLEGE GIRLS TOO TIRED.

Does a college education tend to-
ward the decadence of the collegiate's
religious interest? is the question
now being asked by the authorities
of Wellesley College. {.
For a long time it has been re-
marked that, while the girl student
took an interest in almost everything
else, and was success at ALI sorts
of athletics, theatricals and other
such diversions from the prescribed
course Of study, she was merely luke
warm as to religion. She could man
age to pass her examinations, and
even with honors Nothing was too
abstruse to battle her in that, and in
rowing, basketball, golf and tennis
she ever was an enthusiast. But
when it came to attending chapel,
she did not even get up make be-
lieve" interest to help herself along
in the stern path of duty.
She simply funked.
1t didn't need statistics to show
the college its backsliding. But when
Miss Sue Barrow, president of the
senior class, had them compiled and
duly presented to-day, the actual fig
ures sent little SILVER of horror
coursing down the college spine. Out
of the 1881 girls in the college, it
has been found that only 206 have
been attending services in Houghton
Memorial Chapel. The senior class

The direct act of throwing is ac-
complished by bringing the arm back
with sort Of snap, working every
joint of the arm from shoulder to
wrist. The girl throws with her
whole arm rigid, the boy with his
whole arm relaxed.
Why this marked and unmistaka-
BILE difference exists may be explained
by the fact that the collar bone in
the feminine anatomy is some inches
longer, and set some inches lower
down, than in the masculine frame.

The Sulky Advance.

Between the sulky with which
Flora Temple astonished the world
and that of the present year there is
as much difference as between the
bone-shaking velocipede of forty
years ago and the modern bicycle
evolved from it. Various expert
ments have been tried. The horse
was formerly in front Of the axle.
Then came the plea of arching the
frame, SO that his hooks in action
would be under the drivers seat. The
bike wheels were a distinct advance,
but the high seat still remained until
experiments with wind shields showed
to what an extent atmospheric press
ure was factor in making or mar
ring records, and since the new CEN
fury set in there has been a steady
gain in construction. Not more than
fifteen years ago sulky seats were as
much as fifty inches from the ground,
While the latest models are less than
thirty and range in weight from
twenty-eight to thirty-five pounds.
Shafts have been heightened and
seats lowered until the driver can no
longer look over the back OF his
horse, but to either side to watch the
course. While this increases the dan
ger, 1t reduces the pull against the
wind, and is expected to be point.in
favor of the new records to be striyen

THE PLAGUE OF LETTERS.

Talking to the League for Political
Education yesterday morning on
THE Plague of Letters" Miss Agnes
Repplier declared that it had added a
new horror to death,
ct is considered not unreasonable
in these days" she said, ito give to
the world the private letters of per-
son who has attained any degree of
eminence early enough after his death
so that his nearest relatives may real
ize profit from them. Your children
will publish your love letters, your
wife will publish your anxious inqui-
ries about the baby's measles. Your
most trivial communications will be
considered precious documents and
printed in a book. Nothing delights
us so much as tie chance to read
something not intended for our peru
sal.
English and American editors
usually try to justify such publica-
tions," Miss Repplier pointed out.
They say it is necessary to the pro-
per understanding of the mans char
acter, but the French make no such
pretences. The editor of Victor HUI
go's love letters says in effect: We
are particularly fortunate in getting
them, because the author devoutly
hoped that they would be de-
stroyed. :"

policemen as they pass. Mrs Roby
suggested the salute in an address
before a woman's club. 1--WE think
too little of our policemen" she said.
"They protect our homes and often
endanger their lives in our behalf.
Their calling should stir out patrio-
tism, and every child should be
taught to salute the star which the
policeman wears"
