^tumorous department. Beginning Young. The f?-year old son and heir of a rity light recently received his first instruction in the art of financing. He was given a toy bank and was advised to put in It all the pennies which admiring friends might bestow upon him. "But what good will that do?" the youngster inquired. "If all my pennies are in the bank I can't use them." "Oh, yes. you can," replied paterfamilias. "Whenever you get enough pennies you may spend them on sweets." "How long will it take?" "I don't know. That depends somewhat upon yourself. I* you are saving you ought to be able to lay up quite a considerable sum in a short time. But you must keep your eyes open and not miss an opportunity to get a penny whenever you can. "And as soon as I get enough I may , buy sweets with 'em?" "Yes, my son." The next day when the fond father returned home he was surprised to see his young hopeful gorging himself with toffee. "Johnnie, come here. Where did you get that toffee?" he inquired. "Buyed it." sententiously replied the youngster. "Bought it! How did you buy it?" "Buyed it at the sweet shop." "But how did you pay for it?" "Buyed it with pennies." "But who gave you the pennJes?" "Nobody. You told me to keep my eyes open and get all the pennies I could, and oh, pa, there was a blind man at the corner who had a whole cupful, and I got 'em just as easy as could be."?Tit-Bits. rioht Points ok tiik Law ?a correspondent signing himself "So-andso" overheard some men?"evidently lawyers." he says?talking over a case recently when some such expression as this reached his ears: "Well, he couldn't help winning.

Fooling Himself.?An old gentleman in a village not far from Glasgow breakfasted every morning on porridge, and, in order to save fuel, cooked a whole week's supply every Saturday. One Friday morning the stuff seemed very cold and very salt, and he felt he must abandon the struggle to eat it. But his stubborn ?/rv?.V?rt/lA Knuo'ht Vin nature iui uauc an; ou\.n iuvubih. he fetched the whisky from the cupboard, poured out a glass and placed it before him on the table. "Now, Sandy," said he, "if ye eat that parritch ye'll hae that whisky, an' if ye don't ye won't." He stuck again on the last spoonful, but keeping his eye steadily on the glass of whisky, he made a bold, brave effort, and got it down. Then he slowly and carefully poured back the whisky into the bottle with a broad grin as he said to himself: "Sandy, my lad, I did ye thot time, ye auld fule!"?Tit-Bits. Stricken From the list.?I think it was James Payn who told me the story of how he escaped performing his duty as a citizen. He was bewailing his untoward fate in some public place, when a most respectable man informed him that for some small sum he would insure his never being called upon again to serve. James Payn gave what he asked, and being consumed with curiosity to see how he would manage, he repaired to the court whither he had been summoned, and waited. His name was called, and then a sad figure, in deep black arose from the well of the court, bearing a spotless handkerchief in his hand. The man simply said, "Dead, my lord!" The judge uttered a few commonplace condolences, the name was struck off the list, and he was never again called upon to act.?From "Leaves from My Life," Anonymous. Ix the Vernacular.?a college professor, in company with his son, was enjoying a walk in the country, when he met an old farmer. It had been a very wet season, and the professor, thinking to start the conversation in a way that would prove interesting to the farmer, remarked: "There has been a rather abnormal precipitation of late." The farmer seemed somewhat embarrassed. and the professor's son, who used a different vernacular, though he was a student in the college to which his father was attached. attempted to straighten <>ut the matter. Drawing the farmer to one side, he said in a superior way: "The governor means that we've been having a hell of a lot of rain."? Harper's Weekly.

"Oh, no, Henry," the teacher said, "you don't mean Noah: you mean Solomon, don't yyu?" "No, ma'am; I mean Noah.' "What makes you think that Noah was the wisest man?" "Well." said Henry, "my pa says a man like Solomon, with 600 wives and 800 porcupines, is a blamed old fool, while Noah knew enough to get in out of the wet when it began to rain."?Philadelphia Ledger.

A little daughter of his host, who was too well bred to stare, but who eyed him covertly as the occasion presented itself, finally ventured to remark: "And you are really and truly an Knglish lord?" "Yes," he answered, pleasantly, "really and truly." "I have often thought 1 would like to see an English lord," she went on, "and?and"?"And now you are satisfied at last," he inteurupted, laughingly.

Mr. Croxton planted a lemon about a year ago in his garden, and he thinks this is the same one now turned to stone. It resembles marble and is fully as heavy. When the lemon was planted a lot of unslaeked lime, as well as stable manure, was put under it. which may account for Its rapid petrification The county authorities are making arrangements to put the new road law, passed at the last session of the legislature, into practical operation, thought it will be several months before the actual work of road building under the act will begin. At a meeting this week of the county board of commissioners a contract was made with the engineering firm of Jones. Requarth & Kelsey of Charleston, to do the necessary surveying, etc., which work will commence about the 15 instant, will be personally conducted by the second member of the firm, Mr. Requarth. The surveying party will consist of five persons including the engineer in charge, Mr. Requarth. He will be accompanied by two chain carriers, a rodtnan and a cook. They will "camp out," and will likely have to move camp daily, as they are expected to cover on an average about five miles each day. the progress depending. of course, on the topography nt t\>n imiintiv Ir i? pstimated that there are about TOO miles of public road in the county, so it will be seen that it will take several months to complete the survey and prepare plans and specifications. The surveying party will have a conveyance to carry tents, cooking utensils, etc. The cost to the county will be $237.50 per month, which sum includes everything?salaries of men. board, feed of stock, etc. The surveying party will furnish its own tents, horses and other equipments. The county board of commissioners had thirty or more applications before it for the position of civil engineer. a number of the applicants appearing in person. The applications came from four or five different states. The firm selected presented strong recommendations. It has a similar contract in Fairfield county. The bond required under the act will be given when the contract is formally executed. ~ ? * 01/ a * rxiou IN t W M LMo r\M IN uion. Moose Nose a Fine, Nutritious Food, Says a Far North Hunter. The nose of a big1 Alaska bull moose weighs eight pounds, and when boiled twenty-four hours into gelatine makes the choicest and most nutritious article of diet to be had in all Alaska. At least this is what Webster Brown of this city, who has hunted and surveyed all over Alaska says, and he ought to know, says the Seattle Times. "Alaska moose," said Brown yesterday. "is the best game food to be had in Alaska, and those who subsist for a large part of the time on the game of the country are careful when they kill a big moose or any other kind of big game to have means at hand to take care of the carcass and save it. "I remember not many months ago in the White River county, when our food ran short and we killed a big bull moose and made away in the next |few days with the most of his good points. We were traveling over a roiling. partly open country in the direction of the Tunana Valley, and every particle of fresh meat counted. When the carcass was all butchered up and packed away I boiled the big, gristly, fat nose of the moose about twentyfour hours, after spending five hours scratching the hair off the hide and picking it out by the roots. "Well. sir. I boiled that moose's nose until it made the finest sort of gelatine you ever saw, and absolutely clear and <<f a delicious sweet and nutty tlav< r. It made a meal for the whole outtit for every day for three days, and in my judgment the dish contained more lasting and nourishing qualities than anything that we had." x v Some of the largest ocean steamers can be converted into armed cruisers in thirty hours. WOMEN CUT DIAMONDS. The Most Delicate Work Is Intrusted to Feminine Hands. Women have always excelled In the art of wearing diamonds, but how many people know that they excel in the art of cutting them, too? Yet they do. Word comes from Amsterdam in the annual report of Frank I). Hill, consul at that Dutch port, that In a great diamond cutting factory three women are intrusted with the most delicate ami difficult part of the processes. It is an important industry in Am-i sterdam, is diamond cutting. Thou sands of the gems that come from the mines in South Africa are taken to that city to be split and cut and polished, made over from rough stones into the sparkling wells of light that shine on women's necks. In this factory where women are employed over 400,000 diamonds were cut and polished in one year. For thirty years only men were employed, but in 1875, as an experiment. a few women were taken on, and so dexterous did they prove that now the most important part, the cutting of the diamond, is done by them. When the rough gems come in they are first taken in hand by men. They do the splitting, that is, divide the stones that have flaws into pure and flawless gems. The men do this by hand, holding the diamond, which has been firmly waxed in a little frame, in one hand, and with the other pressing the diamond-tipped tool on the weak spot where the flaw is in the stone. Then the women take the divided sections and perfect them. It is a ticklish task, this diamond cutting, and trying to the eyes. Some of the diamonds are so minute that 40ft of them will weigh less than half a carat. Yet even the most infinitesimal angle on th^ir surface must be detected and cut off. The diamonds are still held by being waxed in a little frame, and before the women burn jets of gas, ready to be used when melted wax is needed. For eight hours a day the women work wielding their little pear-shaped diamond-tipped tools. And they receive for this work the magnifieant remuneration of from 8 to 20 guilder^ ($3.21 to $8.04) a week. To be sure, living is not so expensive in Amsterdam as it is in America, and these women have at least a pleasant place to work in. A shop has been built for them right on the quay, close to the factory, and they have it all to themselves and plenty of large windows to give them light. Fortunately for them, light is necessary to their work. The stones are given to the women in pockets by the forewoman, and if by chance a worker loses a gem and cannot find it she must refund its value. This cutting is responsible work, therefore, and it is slow and patient work. An ordinary stone, weighing about 10 carats, will take a woman a whole day to finish. There are twenty women doing this work. In the big workrooms, where the diamonds go for the final process ?the polishing?there are 300 men work inc. It is interesting to note that the highest wage any foreman receives ?20 guilders a week?is the average of the pay for these men, machinery is used in this department, where the diamonds are polished and given what is technically called their "sides." A good many celebrated diamonds have passed through this factory where the women work. It was here that the Victoria, weighing 400 carats, was cut and polished, and the Mogul, 297 carats in weight, and the great Regent of France, which is now in the Louvre. The Kohinoor was recut here, losing half its weight in the process, but more than doubling lis value. NEAPOLITAN LIFE. People In Italy Are Either Rich or Poor; Middle Class Lacking. A quarter of all the immigrants coming to the United States are Italian. There is a widespread and persistent feeling in the country that the vast and ever-increasing inrush of aliens, and especially of Italians, endangers the national welfare, says the Italian correspondent in the Pathfinder. The country has managed to i-l i vt fnnr tim^v mss m?nv ficrmans and three times as many Irish immigrants as Italians so far, and the nation still lives, but the fear seems to be that the Italian element presents a much more serious problem. In visiting Italy one main object of ours was to learn about these people, with a view to arriving at some firsthand opinion as to their merits and demerits as prospective American citizens. Now, if you want to know an alien people you must live among them and adopt, so far as possible, their point of view. You can't do it by staying at tourist hotels, where "English is spokon," and sticking to your own ways of life. It was for this reason that we spent fivp \vppk? in nnrl nrnnnd N'anlps. not withstanding there is supposed to be "nothing to see" in this part of Italy but Vesuvius and Pompeii. We took rooms in a new sanitary flat which was conducted as a small private hotel; we went only to native restaurants for our meals; we sampled practically every thing we saw in the eating line, adopted Italian ways to a large extent, spent most of our time right among the people, and during our whole stay heard practically no English. It is not always pleasant to mix so closely with foreigners," but you must do it if you want to find out about them and don't want to accept the say-so of some one who perhaps knows no more about it than you do. We gained a good deal of exact personal knowledge of the Italian people during our sojourn of about two months in the country (supplementary to former trips). In several respects we found the prevailing im pivssions ot them n> ne unwarranted. For example, the sweeping assertion is made that "Italians are dirty," and we had expected to lind the native inns and restaurants intolerable, but to tell the truth the only dirty places we got into on our whole trip were in enlightened England. 1 never was in a city, not even in cleanest Holland, where soap was such a common article of sale as in "dirty" Naples. The many thousands of Italians who come back to Italy from the United States each year, bringing American articles and American ideas with them, are doing much to revolutionize conditions in their native land. Naples has been wonderfully modernized and improved since the last time I was there, seventeen years ago. it is still a miserable place in many ways: it still teems with poor people and beggars, whose habits are of the filthiest, hut it is unfair to judge the whole Italian nation by them. A foreign observer coming to New York might form a very unjust estimate of the American people if lie judged them by the denizens of the East Side. Moreover, it is not much what the Italians are in Italy, where it is impossible for them to rise above conditions, but what their capacity and desire for better things is. The thing that sttuck us most in all our investigations in Italy was the almost entire absence of a middleclass population. END OF FAMOUS WRITERS. Literary Geniuses Who Died Miserably Poor and Destitute. That Ouida should have died as she did in poverty and loneliness, an exile, though a voluntary one, from the land of her birth, was an undoubtedly pitiful ending to an exceptionally brilliant career. Equally sad has been the fate reserved for some literary geniuses in the past. For instance, Richard, the gifted poet, died in a debtor's prison at Bristol, after enduring the pangs of seml-starvatlon for years. Chatterton, driven desperate through hunger. poisoned himself at the age of 18. Swift died mad, as he had all along predicted he would. Dr. Dodd, whose "Beauties of Shakespeare" is well known, was hanged for forgery. George Gissing, after suffering hardships that embittered his whole existence, died just as fame was beginning to be assured to him. Stow, the famous antiquarian, author of the "Survey of London," became in his old age a licensed beggar, asking alms from door to door "through thirty-six counties." Wycherly, from being the spoiled idol of' society, fell to the lowest depths of destitution, and was eventually eonsigned to the Fleet Prison for debt, where he remained seven years. Cotton also spent many years In a debtor's prison, and eventually died there by his own hand. Robert Burns, writing only fourteen days before his death, implored his friend Cunningham to use his influence with the commissioners of excise in order to get his salary raised from ?35 a year to ?50, "otherwise if I die not of disease, I must perish with hunerer." Liorente, the learned and talented historiographer of the inquisition, was glad during the close of his brilliant but unfortunate career to hire himself out for a few sous a night to keep watch over the dead bodies at the Paris morgue, and died eventually of starvation. Camoens begged his bread from door to door until compelled to take refuge in an almshouse, where he died. It is told of Ben Jonson that when in his last illness King Charles sent him a small sum of money he returned it. "He sends me so miserable a donation," cried the dying poet, "because I am poor and live in an alley." Go and tell him his soul lives in an alley." Very sad was the fate of Ulrich voa Hutten, one of the greatest writers Germany has ever produced. Unable to earn a living, he was reduced to tramping through the country, begging food and shelter from the peasants. One bitter winter's night he was refused both, and next morning was found frozen stiff and cold in the drifting snow outside the village. "The only thing he died possessed of besides the rags he wore," says his biographer, Zuinglius, "was a pen."v Saint-Simon, the celebrated Frtnch author, who wrote "The Reorganization of European Society," was twice driven by want to attempt his own life, and although he died a natural death in the end it was among the most lamentable surroundings. "For fifteen days," ne says, wmius n> a friend just before the end came, "I have lived upon bread and water, without a fire; I have even sold my clothes." SUPPOSE WE WERE INVADED. Germany or Japan Would Have Both Coasts Completely at Their Mercy. What could happen in a year once Germany or Japan had established bases on our shores, is appalling, and impossible of sensible conjecture, says Lieutenant Hugh Johnson in Everybody's. In tho east, Germany could fortify and defend New York almost beyond hope of recapture. Washington, Philadelphia and the coast defences would certainly fall, leaving the navy without a base and helpless. Whether she would cross the Appalachians would depend on whether she had any object in doing so. On the Pacific the problem is simpler. The three coast states constitute one of the richest sections in the world, a new and better Japan. Be tween it and the interior stretches an almost unbroken line of mountains, flanked by great desert regions impassable to marching armies; taken together, these constitute the most formidable military outworks in the world. Once lodged behind that natural redoubt with their own country and the island chain before them, the dislodgment of the Japanese would be as abtruse a military problem as ever confronted the mind of a genius with a Xerxesian host at his command. We have a respectable navy, but the task of policing a territorial grand division, maintaining an arbitrary policy against the world, giving timbre to the predominant voice of the east and preserving our national integrity, is a fairly large one for so small a weapon.
