French "Niqhts of. the Road"

An account of a journey on foot through rural France, Is given in liar per's Weekly by Harry A. Franck. He soon fell into the company of two French tramps, who begged their way from farm house to farm house.
 The ways of my companions, says the writer, would have made them laughing stocks to American roadsters. They looked forward to no three full meals day. The hope of "set-down' never intruded on their field of vision. In fact, they considered that the world was going very well with them If they collected daily sous enough for one or two lunches of bread and wine. Yet wine they would have, except for breakfast, or they re- fused even to eat bread.
 Like almost all who tramp any dis tance in France, they played the mer- chant" and were much surprised to learn that I ventured along the highways of their country without doing likewise. That is, they carried over one shoulder a bundle containing a couple of dozen of cheap shoestrings, a few packages of thread, needles, thimbles and similar arti- cles in demand among rural housewives.
 The demand was really very light. They did make a sale of two or three sous worth here and there, but the market value of these wares was their least important utility. By carrying them the miners evaded the strict laws against va grancy and the soliciting of aims. With out the bundles they were beggars; with them they ranked as ''peddlers." It was a ruse that deceived no one, not even the gendarme But 1t satisfied the letter of the law.

THE WAITING HABIT. MT. MacWhackt Hopes MacWhackt Junior Will Never Contract.

'I suppose it's fact" said MT. Mac Whackt, that about the worst habit one could contract Is that of sitting down and waiting for something to turn up.
 "Ive known lot of men that have had this habit, but I have never known one of them to have anything come to him yet. Of course, there's chance of a mans being struck by lightning, but if you take the total population of the world and divide by the number struck you would find that the chances of one's being struck are very small. and the chances of anything coming to a man who is waiting for something to turn up are great deal smaller still.
 .'You see, as I tell my son. William MacWhackt, Jr., something; that is to say the something that we are always looking to turn up, is really not, as you might say, thing of migratory nature that Is, not thing that seeks people In fact, one' of it's chief charac- teristics consists in its inclination to

stick somewhere, generally more or less far off, in which 1t is like gold in its raw shape, which lies buried in the earth at Q great distance, where we must go and dig for it and dig hard if we want to get 1t. Measles and various other afflictions come to us, but not so, rule, with something, meaning prosperity, which we must go out and seek.
 ''So I tell William that hope he won't join the great army of those who sit down and wait for something to turn up. He might be struck by lightning, but the chances are so much against it that 1t would be a terrible waste of time to figure 'em out and there wouldn't be anything coming to him then.
 What I hope Is that William will get out and look and dig for what he wants and not sit down and wait and perhaps he won't find the competition as keen as perhaps he thinks, for really there are not such an everlasting lot of steady, stick-to-it diggers. There's a chance for every man that means busi- ness.
 And then I tell Willie that if he doesn't get the biggest prize in the whole world he'll get something, and some- thing worth having, if he'll only get out and get to work among men in the places where the diggers are found
 That's what Pm hoping William, Jr..

suggested that a dead albatross was dead albatross, no matter how it died. Listen and I'll tell you something. You reckon times have changed; it's all steamers and submarines and the like. Well, was quartermaster aboard liner not so long ago" He mentioned a ship whose fate is still fresh in most peoples minds. There was young spark of an army officer aboard, a decent enough lad, but all minimizing. He was a crack shot; used to hang bottles on the davit heads and shoot them to bits. He didn't often miss, but after bit it got too tame. Then we got down into south attitudes and the albatrosses began to show them selves. This was better than potting bot ties. He used to shoot them-using a rifle only. 1t was fine shooting, mind you, hitting albatrosses on the wing with rifle bullets Lots of chaps said it wasn't right but fat lot he cared. Well, what
 happened? No need to tell you. But ths

SHOOTING THE ALBATRosS.
Discouraged by Sailors, Who Vet XIII
 Them in Other Ways.

From the Baltimore Sun.
 Ever since Coleridge wrote the Ancient Mariner it has been looked upon as a sine qua non that to shoot an albatross means death or lifelong misery to the shooter. The superstition holds today is perhaps one of the strongest beliefs extant at sea.
 Catch them with hook and line, poison them, dig a needle into the birds eyes, but shoot them-never It means sor- row and anguish, and those who believe most keenly have facts to substantiate their beliefs. As, for instance:
 Gall it tommyrot, do your" said an-

railroad world which were attributed nished another topic for the skepticaA to dwell on and thus raised apprehen- sions in the minds of previous specula- tive buyers of stocks.
 The course of events abroad has fur- nished material for interested conjec- ture by all financial interests and some of the problems are believed to be approaching solution. Turkeys ac- ceptance of the Austrian indemnity for the annexation of Bosnia and Her. zegovina was regarded with great satisfaction. It Is believed that the issue of the Russian loan in Paris this week will help to enlighten the motives of the Bank of France for its unprece- dented accumulation of gold. If this policy shall persist after the Gotation of this loan. it is feared that grave un- eastness will be caused from the infer ence that future political troubles are provided against by this policy Gold continues to go out from New York as an indirect result of the situation abroad and also. 1t is inferred, from a redundant condition of our own cur- rency.
 The gold exports. the new call upon national banks for return of $25,0O0.- 0Oe of government deposits. the ac- cumulation of cash by the New York trust companies in preparation for ad- ditional reserve requirements. and tha large fiotation-of new, bond issues which continues in New York. have made no impression on the New York money market, which continued to re- lax through the week.

AUSTRALIA TAKES NOTICE.
Interested i'm Great Water Power of Unlted Stntea.

United States.
 Washington. Jan, 17-(SpeciaD-Th Bureau of Manufactures has made pub lie report from United States Consul Baker at Robart, Tasmania, one of the provinces fin Australia, in which 1t is shown that the people in that part of the world have taken notice of what Is being done In our own country to utilize water power.
 They heard of the great plants that have been established at Niaga "a. and probably also have had an inkling of the possibilities at Mussel Shoals on the Tennessee river as estimated by some of the eminent engineers Power plant bills for many other rivers in the United States are pending in Con gross, and although President Roose- welt vetoed the Rainey river bFl last session 1t was passed notwithstanding his objections
 Consul Baker states that in the pro- vince of Tasmania, there has been con- siderable development at the city of Launceston, where a portion of the water-power available in the South Esk river is being used by the muni- cipality for the electric lighting of the city The power station Is located about two miles out from the city. There are over thirty miles of streets lighted by electric lamps and business houses and private houses use the cleo tric light largely. Electricity Is also used for motors and heating appli- ances. The municipal council of Laun- cet Launceston has so far spent $SOO.- 900 in constructive work.
