CanaIboats In Franco,

Comparatively little Of the traffic in
the longer French canals is moved 9th
erwise than by horses. There are a few
steam freighters, which carry half a
million tons a year, most of it between
Paris and Rouen. and one some canals
are regularly organized towing sys-
TENS. But the great part of the haul
ing is done by horses and with so
much economy on the part of the barge
owners that the government has had
to provide by regulation that every
barge must have 'power" enough not
unnecessarily to block traffic. Every
barge also must have a crew of two,
zone of whom must be a man." So
runs the regulation. So nearly every
French barge is the home of "a more
or less happy couple, whose charcoal
fire pot scents up the air along the wa
terways with the preparation Of the
endless meals.-Boston Transcript.

The First War Correspondents.

In a sense Julius Caesar was a war
correspondent, only he did not send
his Commentaries piecemeal from the
"theater of war;" but indited them at
his leisure in the subsequent peace
time. The old Swedish In~tsaigencer
Of the Gustavus Adolphus peyiod was
genuine war correspondence, publish
ed, indeed, tardily compared with our
news of today, but nevertheless fresh
from the scene of action, full of dis
Effectiveness, quaint and racy beyond
compare. The first modern wal CORE
spondent professionally commissioned
and paid by a newspaper was the late
G.. L. Gruneisen, a well known literary
man, who was sent to Spain by the
London Post with the Spanish legion
which Sir de Lacy Evans commanded
In 1887 in the service of the queen of
Spain. But this neE departure was
not followed up, and no English paper
was represented in the great battles of
the first and second Punjab wars.

like climbing a mountain. She rolls
over and takes another nap instead of
jumping out of bed, glad that she is
alive. During the day she takes a
rest whenever she can and INDUCES
herself in a hundred little comfortable
ways. She reads only the lightest lit
erature and shuns hard thinking as
she would hard labor. Now, that wo-
man is slowly petrifying all her men
tai and her physical activity until by
and by she will be like a block of

her wits one of these days, and her

The widow departed, and half an
hour later Abel was carrying the old
hen home under his arm. The three
days went past, and the widow re-
turned. She had only entered her
house when the farmer appeared with
the hen in a basket. He had her
wrapped In red wooden cloths. She
smelled of camphor and various lini-
ments. Her toes had been trimmed
and creased, and he had applied salve
to her comb. With proud deliberate
ness he removed wrap after wrap and
finally reached the last end and set the
hen down on the floor with:

The Old
Speckled Hen.
By M. QUAD.
Copyright. 1908. by T. C. Mcclure.

The Thompsons and the Browns,
farmers, had been neighbors for ten
years, when In the same year Abel
Thompson was left a widower and
Aunt Martha Brown a widow. Plenty
Of people said 1t would be only natural
for the two to marry after a year or
so, but what the principals In the
case thought of 1t did not come out
for over two years. The farmer
and the widow saw each other every
day during this time. She continued
to run her farm by the help of a hired
man, but he was more or less interest
ed. They sat together of evenings and
talked of everything but what other
people were talking about.
1t was one evening In winter after
the farmer had imbibed a quart of
cider and eaten three or four apples
and realized the loneliness of his own
home that he hitched around on his
chair for awhile and then said:
"Widder, there was a windmill man
along today. He wants to put up a
mill for me In the spring"
Eyes, windmill men come long about
once In so often" she replied.
"He pears to have a purity good
MILL"
"Yes?'
"And the price is purity reasonable"
"YesT'

all the sime," continued Abel as he
motioned for another glass Of cider.

"They are great folks to CAB. I've
known 'em to hang around all day and
do nothin' but talk"

A Profit In Boarders.

Where nine women lose money and
wear themselves out the tenth makes
a fine profit keeping boarders.
And why Is this?
The average woman goes into the
business without any system, or if
she does begin well she soon leaves
things in the hands of servants, who
plumber her either Intentionally or
through wastefulness. Then, too, the
personal touch is everything in a
house. l can tell the difference in a
dining room instantly when the mis-
tress Of the house has been there and
when she has not.
1t is the same thing with the menu.
Without constant watching it becomes
monotonous. There is a big difference,
too, when the mistress of the house
does her own marketing.
If she has good taste In interior
decoration. that counts for a lot. An
artistic effect may be obtained very
cheaply if one knows how. and people
prefer to engage a room that has har-
monious wall paper and furniture than
n where things are more expensive,
but don't match.
The secret of succeeding with a
boarding house, like succeeding in any
thing else, is to take an active per-
gonal interest and keep 1t up.
