The sTREETs OF MODERN ROME.
Making the Rounds of the PIebeian Di

Making the Rounds of the PIebeian Dis
trict-POverty and Laziness.
Modern Rome is a very large subject 1t
Is not embraced in a few broad streets or in
the clean swept corners where the fragments
of the past have collected. 1t can be studied
best in quarters where there is no dividing
line of past and present, among the homes Of
the people. 1t is the Jews quarter-the
Ghetto-that is chiefly visited by the curious
and compassionate stranger; but If he will
make the rounds of the plebeian district he
will see that filth and dirt heaps are not con
fined to the streets of the Israelites Roman
men who preserve the widespread eyes and
aquilne nose and women Of noble stature,
well-turned shoulders and bright black eyes
are grouped about corners as squalid and
filthy, and seated on stones in front of dens
as hideous for a living proof Of what is
denied by the elegant modern Via Nazionale
and the Venti Settembre.
Rome is city of ashes. The people, the
jewellers on the ash heaps, live along the
Tiber, on either bank, between the piazza Of
St Peter and the Protestant cemetery. They
can not support life away from its yellow
waters any more than the Neapolitans can
lose sight of their gulf The other Sunday
/ walked along the river until came to the
square of Cons olatiOn 1t was so full of men
as to be wellnigh impassable-men in all
stages or poverty 10 Judge by Chelr oTeSS,
but all in one stage of laziness. The major
ity of them were provided with tobacco, and
all were full of words and gesture, talk of
the last lottery ticket, gossip, political crit
icism, the new bridge, with Shouts and
laughs accompanying every subject
liberal government has cleared the torso
of billets but the spirit of Pasquino fingers
among the people, and no one is wittier
than the citizen who cracked the last joke
on king or pope They are said to be a
degenerate and submissive rae, and | sup
pose it is true that the worthy inhabitants
of the Eternal City are cast in bronze or
chiseled in marble, but these men, happy
and careles; they had been to mass, and
it lacked two hours of vespers), impress one
as possessing by allure polite acceptance
Of Getiny, which is better than
sneers and complaining. Their jests
are good-humored mostly. If they
talk of King Humbert and the bad weights
of bread, it is with Il wish he may do
better" accent 1t is true their politics are
only supported by illusions and are not
worth very much, but at all events it is in
teresting to hear what the governed have
to say of the authorities. -Rome Cor. Chi

LceIDrinks in Dxspepsia.

And now ew words as to the beverages
to be taken An.e leans are a dyspeptic
people; they drink much iced water at
meals; rgo, iced drinks at meal times are
bad hey may be, when carried to excess;
this is not denied. But iced drinks are not
tho cause of the Widespread dyspepsia in
the United States. There are other potent
factors in action. Iced drinks are very
grateful to the thirsty, but too much indulg-
ence therein produce a torturing thirst, as
the person who INDUCES in eating snow in
the arctic regions discovers quickly. Just as
snowballing causes the hands first to feel
cold and then to glow with heat if continued,
80 the constant application of an iced fluid
to the fauces, at first grateful, becomes
source of intense discomfort; for the blood
vessels are first contracted and ultimately
paralyzed, and then the fauces glow with
warm blood, like the skin of the snowballer's
hands Iced fluids are not desirable for
dyspepti>s, to say the least of it. Ordin-
ariIy at dinner the ice pudding is followed
by a glass of iluor-"to correct it" A
certain temperature is requisite for digeS-
ton, and too much cold is undesirable. -

How much love thee dost thou ask Then

Bring me the scale in which Divinity
Did cast the earth, sun, moon and stars
while he
Creations morn the beam adjusted 50
That, since, all things hang balanced mere

One side the scale place all MY love for tnee,
And weight the 0 her with infinity-
Then gaze on them in equipoise and know
Looking far out from shore the sky doth

To kiss the sea and bring infnity
To end upon its bosom; l did dream
Once love was bounded 50, till taught by

Each consne reached doth ope a wider

Each Joy attained but leadeth to a new.

Reports COntradIcted.

PrrTsBURG, Sept. 22.-The reports cur
rent in the East that the natural gas sup
ply of Pittsburg was diminishing and
would soon fail are pronounced entirely
without foundation by the officials of
the various companies. Three hundred
and ffty-four million cubic feet of gas
comes to Pittsburg every day and the
supply is still increasing. In the case of
at least twenty wells owned by different
companies, and which have been shut off
for periods ranging fro m two to thirty
days, the pressure h as been as great
W hen the wells were reopened as when
they were shut down. The gauges of
the wells at Murraysville show from 4SO
to 500 pounds, and many of these wells
have been used ever since the Phiadel-
phia company began operations in 1884

terms can be applied to II ship of State
commanded by Statesman. The exis-
tence OF n higher law and divine provi-
dence that controls the destiny of nations
is older than Nonh'ark.:s or the dreams of
antediluvisns. The Creator and the laws
by which he governs the universe are older
than creation by many ages. 1t is the
demagogue who sails in the dirty pool of
politics and can see nothing in the po-
lilical horizon niger than personal gain,
regardless of the wants and woes of the
people, that is an old "fogy," and hs state
craft is adrift, if not "waler-logged." 1t
was indeed very great misfortune that
those politicians who lived before the food
could not have seen little farther into
the future and foretold the doom OF those
nations that forget God and violate his
laws. His excellency, the mayor Of the
