PAYS TO GO TO MARKET
Women Of TouIon Buy Foods Much ~
10 Custom In Some Ameri-
can Cities.

To the continental woman, market
ing is both time-hallowed custom and
q leading outdoor sport. Europe has
always been far more economical than
America, and this method of careful
food purchasing is one Of the first aids
to economical housekeeping, according
to Niksah. You see what you are
getting, there are always opportunities
to pick up bargains, and there are no
delivery costs. Marketing by telephone
Is almost unknown In Europe outside
q few big cities. because the telephone
Is not nearly so much household In
stitution there as here.
Toulon market Is open every day
from seven o'clock until noon. II you
are q Toulon housewife Of the upper
class, you sally forth about 10 a. m.
followed by a maid with basket or a
cord bag to carry your purchases. II
you are not rich enough to have o
maid, you carry your own vegetables
In an embroidered cloth bag swinging
from your arm. This cloth bag is an
important point, because it marks you
as an Independent housewife. II you
were to carry a basket or cord bag,
you would be taken for somebody's
maid.
On either side of the pavement I'M
der the plantains are ranged scores Of
stalls covered with drab awnings. Most
of the stallkeepers are women
Frenchwomen, Italians, Corsicans,
Spanish. They sell all the vegetables
known to botany, and delicacies like
mushrooms, snails and ravioh, which
is a dish made of macaroni and meat
as well. There are booths for the sale
of flowers and medicinal herbs, and
chickens and doubtful looking cuts OF
meat. The cream of the custom comes
between nine and eleven. In the last
half-hour there is a great bargain sale
of everything that will not keep until
the next day and the poorer classes
rush the booths to purchase slightly
damaged but nourishing goods al
ridiculously low prices.

Adxica In SECURING Riches

Frederick Weyerhaeuser, Americas
one time lumber king, who died null
imillionaire, once gave the following
rules on how to get rich: Make up
your mind to work at something real
ly worthy Of work and work hard. The
surest way to make money is to save
money and to use what you have.
Don't lie afraid of long hours or con-
slant attention to your work. Work
can be made Joy, an economy,
pleasure. if you combine an object
worth While with the determined am
bition to win. Any young man can
get rich, can succeed, II he saves, II he
has definite and honest purpose and
Is so filed with the purpose that work
ceases to he hardship and becomes q
privilege"

The first sleeping cars ever designed
were used on the Cumberland Valley
railroad between Harrisburg and
Chambersburg, Pa. They were built
In the year 1898 and ran for several
years. One end of the car was ar
ranged In the ordinary way, with day
seats; the other end was fitted up with
eighteen sleeping berths for the night,
which were changed for the days run
uing so as to make omnibus seats on
each side Of the car. There we're three
lengths Of berths and three tiers on
