BRETON PEASANTS.
They Always Treat a Stranger With
Generous Hospitality.

In Brittany all peasants carry their
own knives. and, as for forks, they
have no use for them. George Whar-
ton Edwards tells IN brittany and the
Bretons" of visit to an inn where he
met with the proverbial Rretou hospi-
tally.
An old withered Breton woman sat
at the tireSide busily knitting at a jer.
sey of blue wool, and three men sat at
table playing some sort OF game with
dominos. The men gave no apparent
heed to our entrance. but | knew we
were being discussed in their patois.
We asked for bread. butter and a
pitcher of cider. which was forthcom-
ing, but no knives were brought Not
Ing our predicament the three men at
once produced their knives, immense
horn handled affairs, and after wiping
them very carefully and considerably
on their coat sleeves they opened and
preferred them to us.
And now, madame" said I. what
shall pay YOU"
Five sous for the cider, m'sieur.

Thus II is throughout this strange
land of Brittany, One may travel

cities and everywhere meet with the
same hospitality. The peasant will
willingly share with you what he has
in the cupboard and will not ask for
pay.

Baron Rosen naturally had nothing to say under this head, but what he did have to say is worth noting:
 q have spent 35 years in this country, and in all that time l have never been misquoted by a newspa- per man.

MEMORIAL TO TOM MOORE.

A literary shrine sacred to Tom Moore in the Vale of Avoca, situated in Wicklow, that county which is popularly described the garden of Ireland. It is now proposed to erect a memorial to the poet, and as the outcome of public meeting the pro- motors of it consider that its erec- ton in "the vale in whose bosom the bright waters meet" would be very appropriate. "'s -'r'' --
 It was while at Avoca that Moore wrote some of his latest known melo- dies. Nature herself has supplied until quite recently a memorial of the bard in the form of an oak tree, "Tom Moore's tree" under whose shade he did most of his writing. A remnant of it only now survives, owing to the desire of tourists to car ry away portions of it as souvenirs of ''the poet of all circles and the idol of his own. ."-Pall Mall Gazette.
