Most people who go to Europe are
prepared by w hat they have previous-
ly read and heard for the sight of
women laborers. They see the dames
in Holland harnessed in with big
dogs to the milk carts, with their
shaming brass cans shining like gold
in the sun; they see women working
in the fields and vineyards of Ger-
many. and, even upon landing in Liv-
erpool, notice that on every corner is
a woman trying to eke out a living
by peddling fish, vegetables or fruit.
They see all this without a murmur
of surprise escaping their lips; for
it is out of fashion to be surprised
at what one sees, even if he has never
been to Europe before. Rather, it is
the proper thing, it is said, to assume
an air of unconcern and to suppress
any enthusiasm one may happen to
feel over the quaint sights of the for-
eign lands he has so long prayed to
see.

The women who mend the nets are
always on the quais to meet the in-

little chanson on the way.
Mere Henriette awaits her hus-
band's boat, and, Immediatcdy it is

is flung around the post and the an-
chor dropped.
Henriette is a “Jolly good fellow,''
and her well rounded figure shakes

Is as hackneyed a phrase as “how
droll!” or “Isn’t It curious to see
women do such things?”
All along the northern coast of
France, In the quaint little towns of
Brittany and Normandy, the fisher-
folk, men, women and youths, follow
their seafaring life; and, although it
is a hard one, fraught with many dan-
gers, privations and exposure to all
kinds of weather, they are a happy-
go-lucky lot, taking things as they
come without a murmur.
“For every joy that comes to us
there is also a sorrow; n est ce pas?”
said one old dame in a philosophical
manner. "Eh bien! what is there to
do but to take things as they are
given to us smile when we are glad
and weep when grief comes to us?”
Many a mother, sweetheart or AVife
goes down to see her loved one off
on his fishing boat, hound for the
Grand banks, not knowing whether he
will ever come hack, for many a life
is lost; many a boat never returns to
its port; many a brave fisherman is
mourned by those from whom he part-
ed so merrily, for they keep up an
appearance of joy, these simple folk,
no matter how swift may he the un-
dercurrent of sadness in their lives.
True, the women seldom go out in
the boats, but there is plenty for
them to do at home, for when the
smacks come in laden with silvery
mackerel or herring, it is the women
who help unload them, to clean the
fish, to salt, smoke or cure them; they
sell them, tr-o, and one has to bar-
gain well for his polsson for dejeuner.
"How much?” one says, pointing to
a silvery mackerel on the top of the
basket. “One franc 25,” answers the
high priestess of barter. “It is too
much,” he says, and starts to walk
away.
"Tiens, monsieur," she cries after
him. "How much will you give?"
"M'sleu" turns, hesitates, comes back
and gives a turn to the fish to see If
small to supply the Paris market and
how Cousin Nancy's young boy was
chosen to serve at mass Sunday—all
the gossip of the week, and every now
and then stopping to exclaim, "But I
am glad to have you back, Baptiste!"
And all the pecheurs crowd around
to hear her talk, for she is a prime
lavorite with them, and there is no
one in all Dieppe who can broil a
mackerel over the coals and serve it
up with such a sauce piquante as
Henriette.
Celestine and Marie come swiftly
along, carrying a basket of herring
between them, chattering like mag-
pies all the time. They are on their
way to the Marche des Pecheurs in
the Place de la Barre. There comes
a group, mother, the three girls and
two garcons to meet father Goriot's
smack, whose brown sails they can
see rounding the jetee.
Their neighbor, Paul Theriot, who
has just unloaded his boat and, with
madame, their niece and the little
Marie is pulling at the rope which
draws it along the canal to its moor-
ings, has just told them that Goriot
has had great luck and is bringing
home a fine load of herring and dog-
fish.
Mere Suzanne, her frilled white cap
standing out from her face like a
halo, her freshly Ironed apron show-
ing little creases where It was folded
like squares in a checker board, has
taken an acorn from her pocket and
is cracking It between her white teeth
as she awaits Jacques.
Down in the Bassln Berlgny there
are several boats anchored, their
patched brown sails and black hulls
standing out In all their picturesque-
ness against the distant chalk cliffs
and the bright blue sky above.
A little way out of the center of
the town, along the Rue de la Greve,
the Poupllns are curing herring. The
fish are spread out In long layers on
the cobblestones of the yard, which

It looks equally appetizing on the oth-

"Eighty centimes,'' he says, finally,
taking out his purse, "Mals, non,

nnd she holds It up. "See how firm,
how fresh, how bright tho eye! Vral-
ment. It would he given away at

He turns hesitates again, then
takes from his portp,lonnale a shining

Oh. It Is "gaga!," this fishing life,
when skies are blue and boats come
home laden with good catches; when
nothing has happened to mar tho
pleasure of the fisher folk, and when
all hands arrive In port without hav-
ing had a single accident. But when
storms Rweep over the sea, when men
arc washed overboard, or whole crewH
are lost by the capsizing of a boat,
when the schools of fish elude the
nets, then come the tragedies of the
fisherman * life In the little towns

mandy and Brittany.

Hunter’s Valuable Donkey.
A traveler in central Africa tells of
a native hunter of the Wanderobo
tribe who was the possessor of a most
accomplished donkey, which, with an
antelope’s horns strapped to Its head.
Its body covered with a skin or paint-
ed to resemble the animal its master
intended to stalk that day, was the
means of deluding many an unwary
creature Into falling a victim to the
poisoned arrows of the hunter crouch-
ing behind his four-footed assistant.
German Universities.
An extraordinary Increase In the
number of students is noted at those

lin Tageblatt suggests that in order
to re-establish some sort of a balance
the Increasingly numerous students
from other countries should be allowed
to study only at the smaller universi-
ties.
WORRY
A Sure Starter for III Health.
Useless worrying (a form of ner-
vousness) is indirectly tho result
(through the nerves) of improper
feeding. A furniture man of Mem-
phis says:
"About a year ago I was afflicted
with nervous spells, would worry so
over trivial things.
"I went to consult one of the best
physicians In Memphis and he asked
among many questions If I drank cof-
fee.
"His advice was: 'Go to some pro-
vision store and get a box of Postum,
drink It In place of coffee and as you
are confined to your desk to a great
extent try and get out In the open air
as much as possible.’ I followed hls
instructions regarding the PoBtum.
“At that time my weight was 112
and 1 was taking all kinds of drugs
and medicines to brace me up, hut all
failed; to-day I weigh 165 and all of
my rid troubles are gone, and all the
credit Is due to having followed this
wise physician’s advice and cut off the
coffee and using Postum in its place.
“I now consider my health perfect.
I am willing to go before a notary
public and testify that it was all due
to my having used Postum in place
of coffee." Name given by Postum
Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
There’s a reason for quitting the
drug-drink coffee, and there'* a rea-
son for drinking Postum. Trial 10
days proves them all.
