THE POOR OF NAPLES.

as Life to Them Worth the Living?"
Even In Sunny Southern Italy.
In single rooms on the ground floors
or in the cellars whole families live to-
gether with dorkeys, goats. chickens
and pigs. They are so poor they can
not pay for better quarters. 1t is not
a depraved taste which makes them
crowd in these dark and dirty holes,
and keep their little ones in the gutter;
it is only need. The Neapolitans are
not brutes. They like music, bright
colors and light.
How can they pay high rents when
the best wages are scarcely a franc a
day? There is no city in Italy where
wages are so low as in Naples. The
best skilled workmen-the tailors,
The shOemakers. type settlers, job print
ers. masons and carpenters-even in
the busiest seasons, scarcely get thirty
cents day, while the secOnd-rate
workingmen must get along with ten
cents a day or less.
1t is. therefore. impossible for Nea-
pOlitan TO pay more than one dollar a
month for his rent. The condition of
the women is simply dreadful. A poor
mother is obliged to get work outside
of her home for her bread and for that
of her children. Hat-makers, dress
makers and flower girls make only three
or four dollars = month. The great
majority of the women are obliged to
90 out to service as domestics. A SER
want MI gets ten francs a month, with
out any dinner. Some of them have
two or three houses in which to do
homework for one dollar at each house
every month. They are constantly
running from one house to another,
and scolded and threatened in each
place they 90. Many of these miser-
able creatures have children to nurse
when they 90 home at night. baby,
perhaps, that has been left the whole
day in the arms of little sister. The
poor mother. going home without suf-
ticient food and half-exhausted. has to
nurse the little one, and at thirty years
of age looks as old as if she had suf-
fered the wear of sixty winters.
Children in Naples are considered a
sort of burden or hindrance. When
the boss takes a boy to work, merely to
pay him his daily bread. a mother is
happy, and when a girl makes five
cents a week by hard daily work, the
work of a regular servant girl. the
mother is equally delighted.-Galig-

The Cause of the Disease and Some Physi'
illogical Facts Connected Herewith.
The lungs are covered on the outside
by membrane that secretes a thin
fluid. which prevents a hurtful friction
of the lungs and chest against each
other. Inflammation of this membrane
is pleurisy. The bronchial tubes of the
lungs are lined with a membrane that
secretes a somewhat thicker fluid. by
which these tubes are kept moist. Its
Inflammation is bronchitis. The all
cells of the lungs have no such mem.
brane; pneumonia is an Inflammation
of the adjoining lung substance.
In pneumonia fluid eXudes into
the air cells from the congested blood
vessels. and solidifies there. thus pre-
venting all access of air to them. This
Inflammation is at first generally con-
fined TO single point, whence it ex-
tends through single lobe. From this
it NAV extend successfully to other
lobes. or even TO the other lung. 1t
VIII be remembered that the right lung
has three lobes and the left two. Hence
acute pneumonia is called lobar pneu-
mon!a.
Pneumonia may be primary or Sec
ondary. 1t is secondary when due to
some other disease, as measles. typhoid
fever, scarlatina, acute rheumatism,
puerperal fever. gangrene of the mouth

bronchitis, etc.
Primary. acute. or lobar pneumonia
is sudden in its onset, and is generally
ushered in with a chill. followed soon
with a pain, sometimes severe, at or
near the nipple. Usually, but not al
ways, there is cough, with little ex-
pectoration at first, but which at
length becomes adhesive and red, like
iron rust. The appearance of this col
ored expectoration fully settles the
character of the disease. There is,
of course, fever, with increasing fire.
ouencv and difficulty of breathing. A
sudden rise In temperature later shows
that the disease has extended to an
other lobe.
In the vigorous the disease tends to
spontaneous recovery. In children, the
old, the debilitated generally, it is
more dangerous. Still, man of eighty
two recovered from a second attack,
during which all portions of both lungs
were successfully invaded. A case is
recorded in which the person had fif-
teen attacks in eleven years. Another
had twenty-eight attacks
The disease has three stages: the
first, that of congestion and infiamma-
ton of the lung substance, and of exu-
dation of fluid into the air cells; Sec
ond, that of qualification; third. the
liquefaction and absorption of this
solid matter in favorable cases, of its
suppurstion in unfavorable.- Youth $

Mr.. John Hawks, the European

Domingo, came to the Office, and. in
speaking of mahogany, said: That's

his name.
