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.

recently when some such expression
as this reached his ears:
"Well, he couldn't help winning. He
had the eight points of the law in his
favor."
Ever since he hearc\ this "So-andso"
has been wondering what were
the eight points referred to. and he
asks me if I can enlighten him on the
subject.

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

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

professor, in company with his son,
was enjoying a walk in the country,
when he met an old farmer. It had

thinking to start the conversation

to the farmer, remarked:
"There has been a rather abnormal
precipitation of late."

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."

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.

MONUMENT WORKS.
Remember the Dead
Every grave in York county should
)e appropriately marked with a Tombstone
or Monument. To do this is not
)nly a mark of respect and esteem to
>ne's departed relatives, but it is desirable
and proper to place an endurng
record in stone over all graves. If
fou have loved ones who have passed
:o the great beyond and are conslderng
the idea of a suitable marker for
:heir graves, we will appreciate a call
'rom you that we may have an oppor:unlty
of showing you designs of Head
3tones and Monuments and quoting
rou prices.
