It is es :muted that a quarter of a million ifople in Naples live froiii hand to mouth; and tbere are r un dreds ol children who subsist out of the carnage boxes, and who sleep In churches- and on doorsteps. Tne taxes in Italy to provide war ships and to keep the nation on a ?war footing with the other powers are really stupendous. There Is a tax on everything, says the Delinea tor, grain in the field, frui* on the vine, old bottles. Fuel and food stuffs are very dear?only labor ;3 c?eap. For the very poor, meat is a luxury unheard of, and even mac roni is too dear to be Indulged in of ten. There are any number >>t perambulating street kitchens, where various kinds of soup, cakes and fiuit are sold in portions costing oce ceut. And yet these people seem very happy. Bands of musicians are always playing in the streets; the guitar and mandolin are to be heard everyw?ere?on the boats, ia the ho tels?and the stranger is lulled to sleep ;by a soft serenade under his balcony.. The story teller thrives in Naples, as there are so many idlers there. He collects a little crowd around hfm and proceeds In the most drtmat'c way,, gesticulating wildly and work ing his 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 better spent for bread or polenta.

Of such the public letter-writer holds all the secrets of their Uvea and is often their adviser as well as amecuensiii. Wind and Fisiu A singular correspondence has lately been brougii to light between the prevailing direction of the wiad on the coast of New Sou.h Wales and the average catch of fish. The winds Influence the ocean currents, which In turn Influence the cou -*e of the fish. These influence!:, have periods of three or four years. Thus in 1898 there was a general scarcity of fish, out afterward they became Snore and more abundant uc to 1901. In 1905 there was another scarcity I 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 witn the prevailing direction of the coastal winds was noticed. Now It Is thought that by the study of the winds tne prospects of the fishermen :n iy be predicted two or three yean. In ad ?ancs.?Youth's Companion. A Snake Bite Knife. The British government has be?n actively fighting snakes In Ind'a for a dozen years or more, and stili these reptiles kill many thousand ..atlves annually. Sir Lander Brumto , a little while ago, devised ?. neat pocket instrument for bandy ubo 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 cavity. This Is kept filled wtth permanganate of potash, a powerful antlsept.c and caustic. When a person Is bitter he immediately cuts the wound open widely, and rubs the permanganate upon the raw surface. If the bite is in the extremetles. and this oper ation Is performed without celay, the treatment Is very effective. , When the Huckster Is Most Zealous. "I never buy anything from i; huckster who makes a great outer) about his stuff or seems verv anxious to sell." says a S?rth End housekeep er, "for tne chances are ten to one that there is something the matter with whatever he has to sell. "When two men with oae w:\gou come up the street roaring 'appools' so they can be heard 'or four or fiv? blocks. I know that some cole stor age man has a big ttock 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 get lid cf their stock."?St. Louis Globe Democrat.

The national Government author ity on milk says that there are 35, 300,000 microbes In every cubic een U metre of the Lacteal fluid. If we accept this statement as one or fact why should we continue to protest against overcrowding in the Subway ears.?N. Y. Press. As a rule there's nothing in a Rime ?but jometimes everything a man has la In his wife's name. Som^ women break into the gos sip class because they are unable to 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 sized hat. A woman never cares half as much about having a-good time as about telling people she did. A woman who has a nose for news usually has a chia for telling it. DOING THEIR DUTY. Scores of Orangeburg Readers Are Learning the Duty of the Kidneys. To filter the blood is the kidneys* duty.

For Six Months Father Expected His Baby to Pie?Blood 9ozed O?$AII Over Her Body?Had to Be Wrapped in Silk and Carried on a Pillow Now She Is Perfectly Cured. DOCTOR RECOMMENDED CUTICURA REMEDIES "My little girl was born two weeks before her tune 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- cave her up and then I went to C-F-and got Dr. B- and he and Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment saved her. He recommended the Cuticura Remedies, or said we wt: ? right in making use of them. As nearly as I can remember, we used eight ?kes of Cuticura Soap and three boxe; of Cuticura Ointment; but you must take into consideration that here was an exceptional case, for an old and good doctor said that it was the worst case that had come to him in forty years.
