It is estimated ihat a quarter of
a millio;: 'vopte in Naples live from
hand to mouth; and there are hun
dreds ol children who subsist out of
the garbage boxes, and who sleep in
churches, and on doorsteps.
TOe taxes in Italy to provide ?war
ships and to keep the nation on a
"war footing with the other powers
are really stupendous. There la a
tax on everything, says the Delinea
tor, grain in the field, fruit on the
vine, old bottles. Fuel and food
stuffs are very dear?only labor is
c?eap. For the very poor, meat Is a
luxury unheard of, and even maca
roni Is too dear to be Indulged In of
ten. There are any number of
perambulating street kitchens, where
various kinds of soup, cakes , and
fiu.it are sold In portions costing one
cent. And yet these people seem
"very happy. Bands of musicians are
arways playing in the streets; the
guitar and mandolin are to be heard
everywhere?on the boats, In the ho
tels?and the stranger is lulled to
sleep ;by: a soft serenade under his
balcody..
Tbe story teller thrives In Naples,
as there are so many idlers there.
He collects a little crowd around him
and proceeds in the most dramatic
way... gesticulating wildly and work
ing .ilr face into the most excruciat
ing expressions, to relate stories of
adventure or other events, much to
the edification of his hearers, who. to
show . their appreciation, are often
betrayed, into giving a sou which
might have been belter spent for
bread or polenta. <
The ptibllc letter-writer is another
street dignitary of importance,- and
In great demand, especially with
timid and buxom maids of all work,
who have themselves neglected to
learn the art of writing. Of such
the public letter-writer holds all the
secrets of their lives and Is often
their adviser as well as amenuensis.
Wind and Fistu
-A singular correspondence hai
lately been brough to light between
the prevailing direction of the wind
on the coast of New South Wales
and the average catch of fish. The
winds influence the ocean currents,
which In turn Influence the course
of the fish. Thest, Influences have
periods of three or four years. Thus
in 189S there was a general scarcity
of fish, out afterward they became
snore and more abundant up to 1901.
In 1905 there was another scarcity
of fish, but the next: ??ar they began
to return in increasing numbers. The
cause of tLese variations was a mys
tery until the coincidence with the
prevailing direction of the coastal
winds was noticed. Now it is thought
that by the study of the winds the
prospects of the fishermen may be
predicted two or three years In ad
vance.?Youth's Companion.
A Snake Bite Knife.
The British government has been
actively fighting snakes in India fora
dozen years or more, and still these
reptiles kill many thousand natives
annually. Sir Lander Brumton, a
little while ago, devised a neat
pocket instrument for handy use in
case of snake bite, and the Indian
government has decided to distrib
ute the apparatus widely among the
natives. It consists of a small knife
In the handle of which is a oavity.
This is kept filled with permanganate
of potash, a powerful antiseptic and
caustic. When a person is bitten he
immediately cuts the wound open
widely, and rubs .the permanganate
upon the raw surface. If the bite
is in the extremeties, and this oper
ation Is performed without delay,
the treatment la very effective. ?
When the Huckster is Most Zealous.
"I never buy anything from a
" huckster who makes a great outcry
about his stuff or seems very anxiou?
to sell." says a S?rth End housekeep
er. "'for t?e chances are ten to one
that there Is something the matter
with whatever he has to sell.
, "'When two men with one wagon
come up the street roaring, 'appools'
so they can be heard 'or four or five
blocks. 1 know that some cold stor
age man has a big stock on hand Just
about to spoil and that the hucksters
know that condition of the apples
as well as the cold storage man.
hence their zeal and energy to gei
rid of their stock."?St. Louis Glob*'

As a rule there's nothing in a

Some women break into the gos

attract attention In any other way.
For a few weeks after marriage
a woman is unable to understand
why her husband wears such a small

A woman never cares half as much
about having a-good time as about
telling people she did.
A woman who has a noBe for news

A Paying Investment.
Mr. John White, of 28 Highland

been troubled with a cough every
v.inter and spring. Last winter I
tried many advertised remedies, but
the cough continued until I bought
a 50c bottle of Dr. Kings New Dis
covery; before that was half gone,
the cough was all gone. This winter
the same happy result has followed;
a few doses once more banished the
annual cough. I am now convinced

in flesh has resulted, insomnia has
been overcome, and she is steadily
growing stronger." Electric Bitters
quickly remedy stomach, liver and

CUTICURA REMEDIES
"My little girl was born two weeks
before her time and my wife died four
hours after the
birth of our child
and I had to raise
the baby on arti
ficial foods. Six
months after birth
she broke out and
I had two doctors
in attendance.
There was not a
particle of skin left
on her body, the blood oozed out just
anywhere, and we had to wrap her in silk
and carry her on a pillow for ten weeks.
She was the most terrible sight I ever
saw, and for six months I looked for
her to go to her mama, but thank God
and his agents, she is alive and well
to-day and she will be three years old
the seventh of December and has never
had a sign of the dread trouble since.
" I used every known remedy to alle
viate her suffering, for it was terrible
to witness. Dr. C?? gave her up
and then I went to C-F-and got
Dr. B-and he and Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment saved her. Ha
recommended the Cuticura Remedies,
or said we were right in making use of
them. As nearly as I can remember,
we used eight cakes of Cuticura Soap
and three boxes of Cuticura Ointment-;
but you must take into consideration
that hers was an exceptional case, for
an old and good doctor said that it
was the worst csje that had come to him
in forty years. I have always hinged on
Cuticura Soap to keep her skin soft and
to give her a pure complexion. James

NEAR DEATH'S DOOR.
"I was near to
death's door. The
doctor said he
had done all he
could; that my
stomach was old
and worn out. I
was bo weak I
could not walk. I
took Mi-o-na tab

been eating
hearty ever since, and I am able to
work like a tiger. I wiBh I could
go and thank you myself. I send
you my picture, and you can use
