Bslfllsn Women Hard Workers. In Belgium horses often cost more than the, peasantry can afford, and so many ot tho women .often trudge miles with one heavy basket slung over tholr shoulders, another on their arm, and a third balanced perfectly on their hoads. They tramp along In the glaring heat until they reach tho neighboring market. They thoy, find no tlmo to rest. Thoy empty their baskets, never thinking that In carrying car-rying such a load thoy have performed perform-ed a hard day's work, so eager aro thoy to soli their flowers, fruits, and vegetables. After vending their waros all day they return with three empty baskets, ono strappod to tho back, another on tho head, and tho third on their arms.
