IN OBEDIENCE TO ORDERS
French Boy Caused Merriment by
Taking the Order Of the Court
Too Literally.

A droll incident is reported as hav-
ing taken place In one of the pro-
vincial appeal courts in France. A
boy, about IA. was summoned to give
evidence. and his appearance was SUCH
AZ to move the whole court to laughter.
He wore long redingote, peculiar to
the Basque country, and immense
boots. His trousers, collar and hat
were unquestionably those of a mau.
The court was convulsed, and tho
president asked the boy how he dared
to treat the court in such a manner.
The boy seemed as surprised as tho
president, and taking out the citation
from his pocket, read the formula ln-
viting him, "Comparaitre dams les al.
fairies de son PEREZ" Ito appear In
his fathers suit)

Through close and effective study
of economical transportation, Belgium
has built up an excellent system Of
canals and canalized rivers, 20 in num-
Der. These are used partly for trans
portation and partly for irrigation.
Both the Mouse and the Scheldt are
navigable throughout their entire
length in Belgium, and many of their
tributaries have been canalized. In ad-
dition to these natural advantages,
there are canal systems that unite
Brussels and Louvain with the Rupel,
Brussels with Charleroi and Mons
with Condo. Then, too, there are two
fine ship canls which by uniting Client
and Bruges with the sea coast have
restored to those cities much of their
old time commercial Importance

plunge into the flesh pots Of Egypt
he would always feel as guilty as If
he had just robbed a safe and could
hear the police coming to take him In.
You couldn't persuade that young
man that he was slowly but certainly
killing himself. Had you stood him up
before all the psychologists of the
world, to be assured by them not only
on their reputation as men of science,
but on their decency and honor as
men, that that sort of a diet was never
intended" by any scheme of nature or
any deity imaginable, for the human
machinery Of digestion, he would prob
ably have come out of the seance with
= vague idea that somehow or other
they were just trying to fool him for
some hidden and vicious purpose of
their own.

The young vegetarian mentioned
above was very brave; as brave as
anybody could be in such circum-
stances and on such a diet, but he
would often look with longing eyes on
the steaks and chops his companions
consumed at table, while he himself
was sturdily Furnishing himself with
rice and other wholly unsavory dishes.

I'm sorry for him. l once knew q
young man who was trying to do the
very hardest kind of work-the mixed
kind, which is physical and mental,
too-on a diet that healthy rabbit
would hesitate about adopting unless
guaranteed that the quantity would be
absolutely unlimited. This young man
would make a breakfast of a bit Of
bread, a small plate of boiled rice, and
a glass of water; he would luncheon
on a small quantity of butter-beans,
or some other equally insubstantial
airy nothing, and then he would top of
the day with piece Of cake and a
cup of tea-always weak tea, too.
Occasionally he would go on what
might be called a veritable feed

dissipate on two bananas for

ers ascend it as far as Mannheim. This
mighty river has been improved by
the Germans at cost OF more than
S12, 500, 900, and its waters bear an i'm
mense traffic in coal, iron ore, iron
and steel manufactures and other
heavy freight. The Rhine valley,
dotted with picturesque ruined castles
and saturated with legend and TO-
nance. Is also one of the busiest dis
tricts in all Europe, for it Is densely
populated and contains numerous i'm
portant industrial cities. Canals con-
meet the Rhine with the Mouse, Saone,
Seine, Danube and Ems rivers. The
Rhine-Rhone canal follows the course
Of the river from Strassburg almost
to Basel, and is generally used instead
Of the river.
The Elbe is second only to the
Rhine in commercial Importance. It
is navigable throughout It's whole

some of the chief silver and coal
mines, salt fields, sheep pastures and
beet.root areas in the empire. More
over, 1t links Berlin, the capital, with
Hamburg, the chief port, by the canals
of the Havel and Spree river systems.
The Weser, the Oder, the V1stula
and other rivers are of great impor-
lance as commercial highways, and
go to make up Germany's grand total
of nearly 5000 miles of navigable riv-
ers. of which about 1,40O miles are
canalized
| Germany's canals are many, their
total mileage being something like
1900, and large sums are spent on
their improvement. The most import
ant internationally is the great North
Sea and Baltic ship canal, which ira

and was opened to traffic in 1895. and

William. The Ludwigs canal in Bava-
ria united the Danube with the Main.

ates mind picture of canals, and in
deed that little land of dykes and
bitches Is completely cut up into
small islands by it's extensive system
of waterways. They cross and inter-
lace one another like the threads OF
some large fishing net. The North
Holland canal was considered, until
recently, to be the finest of the kind in
Europe. The southern part Of the
country is especially favored by ma
ture. for the Rhine, entering Holland,
divides up into numerous arms, the
chief of which are the WAL, the LEX
and the Yssel. The Mouse joins the
WAL, thus mingling its waters with
those Of the Rhine, and all of these
rivers carry an immense traffic. Four
fifths of the river trade of Holland is
carried on the Rhine and the WAL.

have admitted it were he charged with
1t, knew he was afflicted with a dis
order Of the digestive apparatus that
always accompanies vegetarianism. He
was, In fine, the victim of a prejudice
that left him unequal to the work he
was compelled to do, and which he was
doing at the expense Of his health,
