A Bandit at Bay.

This Italian journals mention the re-.
capture of the formidable bandit Sebas-
tian Bani, who, after his arrest by o
body of carbineers, managed to escape
from the hands of Justice at the moment
when he was being carried off to the
railway station at Fabriano, in the
Province of Ancona, by leaping from
the bridge at Molinaccio. One of the
carbineers broke his leg in his endeavor
to prevent the escape. After several
unsuccessful attempts the pursuers at
length discovered the bandits new hid.
ing place. 1t was lonely house in the
country not far from Fabriano. A Lieu
tenant of carbineers was directed to
conduct the operations for his recap
ture, and to secure the culprit. The
18th inst, when q violent storm was
raging, which enabled the carbineers to
surround the house without giving an
alarm, was chosen for the execution Of
the enterprise. The Lieutenant, hav.
ing posted his men round the bandits
lair, entered the house. Bani, as soon
as he caught sight Of him, made hur.
ried retreat to the roof by secret stair.

full meaning of the situation. Seeing
he was besieged, he resolved to defend
himself to the last. Having no fire.
arms he turned the tiles Of the house
into weapons of defense, and replied to
every summons to surrender by an I'M
interrupted shower of tiles and pebbles.
Such was his skill that his projectiles
hardly ever failed to hit some assailant.
Three or four OF the carbineers were al
ready wounded and one Of them rather
seriously, when the commanding officer,
to avoid needless risks to the lives of
his men, ordered them TO fire. Bani
was hit in the breast and stomach, but
none the less continued to make des-
perate defense. At length corporal,
having discovered the stairs by which
Bani had reached the roof, revolver in
hand, grappled with the brigand,
whom, although violently resisting in
spite OF his wounds and loss of blood,
his adversary mastered at last. Bani
was moved to the hospital at Fabriano,
where his wounds were pronounced
very serious. A sum of money, amount
ing to about G3 49,, was found upon
him, probably what was left Of the pro-
duce Of the robbery for which he had
been arrested in the first instance

NEGLECT OF CHILDREN.-Many q
mother has wept over the sins of her
child, little dreaming that while she
pursued her round of idle pleasures,
that child was taking its first lesson in
sin from the example of vicious
nurse. The truth is, parents take upon
themselves too many unnecessary bur-
dens, and consider themselves bound
by duty to perform too many tasks,
which are Of much less consequence
than the teaching and training of their
children. The father has his trade or
profession, and his few leisure hours
he must spend in social pleasure. The
mother has her household cares and
the comforts of her family to study,
and besides this, there is much time to
be devoted to fancy work, to visitors,
and to amusements of one kind and
another. Her children IRE mere Sec
ondary considerations, and depend
upon the kindness of hirelings. Their
dresses may be miracles of putting,
ruftes, and embroidery, but what does
that count when their minds are
dwarfed through neglect? Her house
may be q model of neatness, her bread
excel that of all her neighbors. her jel-
lies and preserves enough to tempt the
most fastidious; but if, in all this, she
has kept aloof from her child, has
chided his heart toward her, what does
it count?

Bismarck and His Dog.

Sultan, who had travelled second class,
was at his masters side, covering him
with boisterous manifestations of ca

slightest notice of Count Andrassy and
Prince Reuss, who kept o respectful
distance until Sultan had satisfied him.
aelf that the Prince was none the worse
for his journey. The meeting between
Count Andrassy and his illustrious
guest was q cordial one, and arm in
arm they walked to the court carriage,
q private brougham of the Emperor's,
that was waiting to take Prince Bis
marck to the hotel where he is staying.
Hardly were the two statesmen seated
and ready to start. ere down went the
window on the near side. and stem
torian voice cried out. "Mein hund
Wo list mine hund?" If anything had
befallen that blessed dog whilo Prince
Bismarck's attention was momentarily
turned in another direction, it is my
firm belief that it would have been all
up with Austro-G German alliances. and
the incensed Chancellor would nave
taken the first train back to Berlin.
Sultan, however, is an experienced
traveller, and has very good notion OF
how to take care of himself. In q
.winkling he was at the carriage door,
and, assisted by two court hunkeys, he
sedately took his seat on the rug at the
feet of the two gentlemen inside. Judge
of the stupefaction of the crowd as
sembled outside the Hotel Imperial on
seeing the four-legged occupant of the
court brougham leap out with bark,
and contrary to all etiquette, greet the
nearest bystanders in y most unpleas.

has bad reputation. He nearly upset
the congress by an unjustifiable attack
upon the Russian Plenipotentiary, and
since then he has manned one of the
Berlin Foreign Onice officers for life,
because he sat down on the chair usu-
ally occupied by Prince Bismarck. The
worst Of 1t is that he is not the genuine
historical favorite of the Chancellor,
but only q spurious imitation. Sui
tan-the original Sultan-I learn, was
poisoned couple of years ago, and
nothing can shake Prince Bismarck's
conviction that it was two Social Dem
ocrats who did it.

The Wooden Interest.

The census of 1910 reported twenty.
four wooden factories in this country
that spun yarn and 9,52S, 269 yards Of
wooden cloth woven, in families, valued
at 81, 413.0O0. In 1850 there were 1920
WOODEN establishments that EN-.
ployed $4,000 persons, and an.
nually produced goods of vari-
GUS textures valued at $40. 900, 900.
In 1860 the wooden establishments had
increased to 2.02O, employing $4,000
males and females and producing goods
to the value of 267 300 900 annually.
Owing to the great demand of wooden
goods to supply the army with blankets,
clothing, etc., in the rebellion, the
wooden manufactures in the United
States increased nearly one-half in ten
years. and the census of 1870 counted
81 900 persons as employed in the
wooden factories, who annually pro.
duced goods to the value of SLIT ,0OO,-

But with all the natural facilities for
the raising of sheep and the manufac.
ture OF woollen goods the demand for
wool and wooden goods IN this country
is far ahead of the supply. In the past
forty.six years, or since 1888, the
Emitted States have imported wool,
either manufactured or unmanufac-
tured, to the value of 81, 21O, 900, 900.
for the past four years this country has
imported wool and wooden goods to the
value Gin the aggregated Of S17O, OOO.-
600, while the export is but trifle. In
1875 the total duties paid on wool and
WOODEN textures amounted to $50, 914 36,
and, with the exception of four years
prior to 1S4S, was larger revenue than
ever produced in any one year in this
country or within $4,000, 600 of what
was expended in the eight years of
Washington's administration. - Troy

of his painful experience by an acct
dent to which all divers in "armor "

feet of water at Fulton Ferry slip, when
a seven-inch iron shaft, used for drilling

and partly through my own careless
ness, hit my helmet and knocked it of.
1t was fastened with a quarter-turn,
and had no bolts, and was very careless

ter. As soon as my helmet was gone,
the water rushed in and filed my dress,
and with my lead weight could not
move, and the pressure OF the water
seemed the weight of amountain crush
ing my frame. I signaled my tender to
pull me up, but, unfortunately, his as
sistant had gone to the pier on brief
errand. I could make no effort to rise
to the surface. The effort would have
been useless, and would only cause
drowning the quicker. The cooler one
keeps in an emergency Of that kind the
better for him. Had struggled should
not have been alive now. I remained
perfectly motionless and saved my
breath. My helper finally obtained as
sistance from some men on the pier,
and I was dragged out more dead than
alive. The accident confined me to the
house for three weeks. Blood flowed
from my eyes, ears and nose for some
time after was taken out OF the water.

TO the air it has lost its "mration,"
and has absorbed many of the dust-
germs floating in the apartment. If
convenience requires water to be
kept in vessels several hours before
use. it should be covered, unless the
vessels are tight. Wherever prac

should be covered. Fitering al
ways adds to the purity Of water.
Drinking water should not be taken
from lakes and rivers on low level.
Surface water, or water in lakes,
pools, or rivers, which receive the
surface wash, should be avoided as
much as possible. DO not drink
much water at a time. More than
two tumblers full should not be taken
at meal. Do not drink between
meals unless to quench thirst, as ex'

EGGS INSTEAD OF BEEF.-As a
flesh producer, one pound of eggs
is equal to one pound of beef. a
hen may be calculated to consume
one bushel of corn yearly, and to
lay twelve dozen, or eighteen pounds
OF eggs. This is equivalent to say
ing that three and one-tenth pounds
of corn will produce, when fed to
hen, one pound of eggs. A pound
of pork, on the contrary, requires
about five and one tenth pounds Of
corn for its production. When eggs
are "A cents dozen and pork 10
cents a pound, we have a buShel Of
corn feed, producing $2,SS worth Of
eggs, and $l.05 Of pork. Judging
from these facts eggs must be eco
monica in their production and in
their eating, and especially fit for the
laboring man in replacing meat.
In boiling beef and vegetables,
says an exchange, put cup Of vine
gar into the pot when the water is
cold, and the beef will be much ten

favored, and will not fill the house
