French Shopping Manners.

A feminine writer In one Of the cur
rent magazines contrasts the lot Of the
American woman most unfavorably with
that Of her French sister in certain
phases Of everyday life. and especially
felicitates the latter that she is so fire.
auently accompanied by her husband on
shopping expeditions. whereas the former
rarely-very rareIy-is so blessed and made
glad.
We do not know that this IS because the
French have better shopping manners
than we on this side the Atlantic, but 1t
may be so. We had hoped ours were no
worse; but that was quite as far as we
dared to go. Certainly the temptation to
the American man to go shopping With
his wife is remote IN the extreme. in all
the usual circumstances II shopping
were merely the carrying out Of a pre-
arranged prOgramme-the consummation
OF a plan carefully thought out before
leaving home-we have no doubt Il would
be very nice. and husbands generally
would willingly and even Interestedly par
ticipate therein. But It IS not that way;
albeit we speak It much more in sorrow
than in anger. The average American
shopping expedition is a rushing, strenu-
Gus, battling. exhaustive AFFAIR: charm
ing enough in every essential detail to
womankind. mayhap, but calculated se-
riously 10 upset masculine poise and. we
fear. good nature as well. Woman shops
precipitately; with a perfect knowledge
that She is on her way. but with no de-
tail knowledge as TO Just exactly where
she is going. nevertheless. She has her
favorite marts, 10 be sure; she knows
where she gets a square deal. and all
that She seeks out such places-then
she scram5les.
We suspect the French 90 about their
shopping In a more orderly and Ieisurely
manner than We do We are prone "a
consider them an emotional people; and
we would expect them 70 approach their
undertakings Of this persuasion pretty
mucn after the fashion we employ. And
yet. If French husbands are given TO &C.
cOmpanying their wives on their shop
ping efforts. we are disposed 10 conclude
that the exact reverse must be true. We
reason not so much along theoretical
lines as by analogy. and in the light OF
I experience and example
We half way suspect. too, that the
French woman has decidedly the better

manner indicated by the writer whose
words we have been led 20 consider.

A Stnrk,s Nest.

From the London Globe
At a time when the stork is so much
in the minds OF people, especially Of the
Dutch. the following details concerning
the structure and contents Of a stork'
nest, investigated on the summit Of the
Cathedral OF Colmar. in Upper Alsace.
may be of interest: The city architect
has just delivered public lecture there
on "StorkS and their ways" he de-
scribed a stOrk's nest, which was about
thirty years old, II measured six feet
across and was five feet in height, il
weighed sixteen hundredweights. or over
three-quarters OF ton. and il was such
solid mass that II had TO be broken
up by using a pickax- The nest was
made or tw.gs Of wood and clay. and the
materials filed twenty-four sacks. The
walls Of the nest We're found to contain
seventeen ladies' black stockings, five
fur caps, the sleeve Of a white silk
blouse, three old shoes, a large piece OF
leather, and four buttons that had be-
longed TO a railway porter's uniform.

Athletics at the Naval Academy.

The Navy Department is IN receipt OF
some important recommendations which
have been made by a special board com
posed Of line and medical officers. who
have been giving consideration TO de-
sirable changes in the method Of physical
exercises of midshipmen. The report of
the board is a surprise TO the service, in
that II is a document Of radical recon-
mendetions. Perhaps this was considered
necessary in order TO emphasize the need
Of an improvement in the way Of training.
The military-naval establishment seems TO
have become the object of abnormal re-
quiremeuts in this matter OF physical
training and test and the midshlpmen
are evidently not 10 escape. Conservative
comment, operating as a check TO IN
bridled enthusiasm, Is that in the remarks
by the superintendent Of the Naval
Academy. Capt. c. J. Badger. L. S. n.

system Of training can be improved, It
ought not TO be so increased as to inter
fere with the studies and professional
training OF the midshipmen. He says very
Pertinently in his comment: Remember
that the Naval Academy is for the train

It IS evidently necessary to call atten-
tion to that function Of the Naval Acad-
envy in these days. when there is such
a disposition 10 make physical training
more conspicuous than other forms OF
preparation for the duty devoIving upon a
commissioned officer Of the United states
navy. It is Well to have the inquiry.
which has just been conducted, and to
obtain views, no matter how emphatic or
radical they may be. Out Of the agitation
and discussion will come. It Is safe to
