Mr. Beatty, who, at the age of forty one, became the youngest railway presi dent in the world, has come to England to place orders for the construction of two new passenger-linets of 17,500 tens and five cargo vessels of 10,500 tons, in volving a total expenditure of more than £3,000,000.

Now, what makes a Frenchwoman live long and keep her often remarkable faculties in a way that soems denied to women of other nationa? asks Mr. Belloc Lowndes, the novelist in the Daily Ex-15, QUIE'S BOLD CINTA TIL 75 CENTRAL, press. To my thinking the real reason la a simple reason. It is owing in a great measure, to her diet. That is, what she eata, and drinks.

Fortunately for herself; her husband and her children, though I fear very few of her English sisters of the same class would agree with her, the French working woman knows nothing of the tinned foods which play so great a part in the British dietary; instead of in- breme old age, she lives largely on dulging-in-these-from infancy to ex salads, vegetables and thoroughly cooked meat. Her only real stimulant is coffee, and so-called cafe noir or cafe an lait, aa some of us know to our cost when we have stayed in French village inns, is largely composed of chicory.

Another thing which almost certainly plays its part in keeping Frenchwomen young-in fact, if not in appearances-is their extraordinary industry. Although they are too apt to lose their figures, and to look considerably older than they are when approaching that time of life which Balzac termed l'age dangereux, they are-amuzingly-alest and active. A working Erenchman need boxe no fear of the age limit, for employers are ze ready to take on a woman of sixty as a girl of sixteen, indeed some will tell you frankly that they prefer the woman of sixty.
