Another point in their favor is their
habit of temperance. 1t is true that
those of the lower order driak much
stale beer, which costs them very little
money, but lhey don't drink whisky or
Gin and AN Italian ia rIle lighting
drunk condition is rarely seen. While
let alone, their inclination is to be
peaceful, aud when they get into trou-
bic witt! other people, ii Is generally
because they are not let alone. They
defend themselves when attacked, but
they are seldom the ageressors in II
trouble. Much is said about theirread-
mess TO use the knife, El; my obserya-
ton is (and | have given solno al,ea~
ton to the matter) that quite as much
stabbing is done by the oid-time rowdy
element rs by the italians, and gener-
ally With less provocatlon. The po-
lice regard even the worst OF them us

mas lao reason 10 regret the Growth OF
the Italian element. 1t is valuable in
many ways, and it contains some of
The very best material for DEVELOPMENT
i'll the future.
One evidence OF Italian progress is
the position the Italians have taken in
the restaurant business. They seem TO
have even better qualifications for this
business than the French, though the
latter are supposed to bean the world at
it. In New York, however. they don't
by any mcans-in fact the Italians are
beating them. The table d'hote svs-
TEN, which has grown greatly in favor
ID the last ten years, is now mainly in
the hands of Italians. | would rot
say that they manage it better thar the
French, but they are certainly getting
control OF it, and that fact is strong
evidence for them anyway.
There are several excellent restau-
rants of this kind on Fourteenth street
and on Fifth venue and Fourth avenue,
all kept by Italians, and are getting the
best KIND OF custom. One characleris-
tic OF them is that they all row from
small beginnings. There is no flour
ishing AT the start, but q quiet com
mencement i'll a small place where the
rent Is low. and then u steady cxpan-
sion. Where Il large business is done
there is a good deal OF profit in it, and
some OF the Italians who began with u
few hundred dollars are now ou;te
wealthy. j hear, too, the Italian chief

men formerly had had the field to

Italy are pushing ahead i'll all direc-
tons in New York, and seem pretty
sure to continue doing so.-from q New

that some day men would be able to
talk over the wires for distances of fifty
miles, and that every ship that left

connected with the land by wires.
When he got that far my friend said,

Plants.

The progress OF the series of lectures
on botany and sylvaculture By Prof,
Rothrock in horticultural hall, Fair
mount park, says the Philadelphia
Times, is being marked with increased
attendance, the lccture-room becoming
quite crowded. The subject selected
for yesterdays lecture was ''Flowering
Plants to BE Avoided"
plants may be poisonous By ones
proximity to them, by touching them,
OF by being taken into the stomach
said the lecturer, ''Ihe manchinicl of
tho West Indies is nearly as poisonous
as the tabled lipas tree Of Java. Plants
containing acrid or poisonous proper
ties come largely from the tropics. Iliis
is L of spices. also, while. on the
other hand, tae plants OF the polar
regions are deficient in these active
qualities. One Of our most popular
groups Of plants is the buttcrcup, but
many Of these are sufficiently acrid to
produce blisters when applied to the
skin. The poisonous sumac is probably
the most dangerous OF ali u plants
which poison by promixity.'
The lecturer then described the two
species OF sumac as the climbing and
the swamp suinac. ''AvGid all sumac

be safe from poison. The common

Etalians III New 3orIs.

A great many hard things have been
said about New York Italians as q class,
out q good deal might be said in then
favor. uhe worst thing about them is
The way many Of them live. The bad
way Of living, however, is confined to
ihe low grade, composed Of ragpickers.
bonc-galherers and street sweepcrs.
One good thing to be said for all, even
the lowest is that they are industrious
and fairly, honest. There are very few
ioaters among the Italians, and it does
not appear that there arc many thieves.
AT all events, if they steal. it is il q
petty way, that does not attract attcn-
ton, and hardly amounts to crime.
They are willing to do any kind OF
work, and il they can't get s. Il day
they will take $50 rather than be idle.

among the Italians at home. but they

In the Middle Ages.

In those old Gays it was possible for
a oma to purchase Il royal license to
marry ''whom she would.' always
granted with tie proyiso that it was
not to b" one eff the Kings enemies.
Widows very often had recourse to this
measure; maiaens more rarely. With
the former it might denote either an
attachment to sorne particular person
or a mere desire not to be forced into
re-marriage, but Il spinster who was not
Il nun was never heard OF in the Middle
Ages. There were u very few Old
bachelors-rare phcnomcna--but an
old maid WAS never seen outside the
c%loister. The nearest approach to it
was in the case OF a few ladies difficult
to please. who delayed marriage until
middle age was reached. 1t was rare
ly that this could be the case, since
they were seldom allowed to please
themselves. The color which was pref
ty certain not to be worm at a wedding
was white, for white was the deepest
possible mourning, and was Worn by
widows Immediately after bereave-
mcnt. Medieval education was a very
different thing to that of the present
dag. Among the higher classes both
sons and daughters were sent into the
service OF Il gentleman or Lady, and
educated in Tive necessary duties Of
gentle people. Why they were not
taught at home Is not quite clear; prob
ably q better discipline was secured UNI
der stranger guardianship. A Girl was
thoroughly trained il houscwifcry,
,nedicine, and some slight surgery, ii
fortunately placed, ncedlcwork, ETC.,
sometimes to read and write. also. The
boys We're trained III warlike arts, to
ride. To shoot, etc: most frequently the
reading and writing were omitted in
their ease. Royal p~crsona@cs We're
obliged to study both reading and writ
ING. and the royal signatures are inter
esting and often characteristic. Henry
Wills hand is very characteristic;
doubtless, as Isaac Disraeli has said OF
him, she split many Il good pen.n
Mary wrote Il pretty Italian hand, but
rather sprawling and irregular. Never
could any lady write Il more beautiful
hand than the early Italian one OF
Elizabethi and l hope no lady ever
wrote any uglier than the horrible
scrawl Of her queenly years. The food,
cookery, and medicine OF the Middle
Ages We're alike il respect that they
were most elaborate and astounding
connections, often repulsiyc to the last
degree. Only iron constitutions, it
would seem, could sustain such fearful
admiXtures OF indigestihlc and unlikely
food; Yet our 1oretulhcrs and mothers
throve and grew hearty upon them.
