slider how he lives. In Boston the italian
population inhabits one part Of the city. The
Italian families live in tenements, usually
three families to room. Two families in
room is ''aristocracy.' Three families is
common people, SO that the Italians rent
costs him but little. In regard to his clothes,
you can see for yourself. Look at the gar
ments of the grinder as he stands in front of
your window and works away at "Sweet
Violets" Perhaps his clothes cost him s25
year, more likely SIS.
The employments Of the Italians aro en-
demic-that is, peculiar to themselves Did
you ever see an American organ grinder!
The italian is at work early in tho morning.
He takes out his organ and starts out on his
round In the summer timo the majority of
the hurdy gurdy men so out in the country
and return at night. Their organs cost all
the way from SIS for fairly good one to
5000 for nice piano. The average is about
$780, Some of the organs arc made in this
country. Some are Imported from England
and some come from Italy. The monkeys
those agile animals that delight tho chill
dren-are picked up in various places. They
are bought from sailors occasionally, but
generally obtained from dealers. Sometimes
tho Italian dispenses with his hand organ

He Wanted Pura Mater.

Since the heated term Is on and sunstrokes
are common occurrence, there are many
peculiar and decidedly novel calls made upon
hotel clerks by tho guests The other even
Ing travelling salesman from Boston walked
up to tho counter just before he retired, and
said: "Please send some cracked ice and hot
water up to my room" Several guests stand
ing near looked at him with amazement and
wondernent, thinking, no doubt, that It was
only foolish whim of an eccentric Yankee
from the Hub. But, in truth, the call was
evidence Of the Boston mans knowledge Of
how to prevent sickness during this torrid
weather. A common cause Of cholera NOR
bus and like diseases in the summer is the ice
water that is drunk This man wanted hot
water for the reason that all the germs are
destroyed by the heating. Instead Of putting
the cracked ice i'll ths water he placed It
around the vessel containing the water, aud
thus had cold water to drink, without the
germs froia to ice again making the water

keys and who eats and sleeps in the same
room with them On one side of the room
are the monkeys. There are seven OF eight
of them confined in cages on the wall. On
the other side is the Italian. The intervea-
ing space is occupied with u stove, a cradle,
broken harps, stools, a bureau and c.hec
things, which take up all the available space.
What place to 1.-Two in!
But in Boston, as in other largo cities
where Italians congregate, there are other
emp,oyments besides organ grinding and c.
hibiting monkeys.
Oac of The most profitable employments is
fruit selling. One vender was asked hoW
much he made by it. "Oh, dent know"
he said. 'sSorna daya l maka five dolla,
soma daya ten dolla, soma daya fifteen
dolla."
Now the question naturally arises: II the
Italian can make IS a day and i. costs him
less than 81, what does he do with the bal
ance!
It has been contended that he sends his
savings back to Italy. But there are notable
instances in Boston where Italians have ac-
cumulated property, have built houses and
have, to all appearances, forgotten that their
mother country ever existed.
The Italians love of art, as well as his ear
for music, is illustrated by his employment.
Boston has its quota of Italian plaster
workers. They make bronze vases, figures,
ornaments, etc. Two men and boy are oil
that are necessary for the work. One man

military funeral, there was none.
The site selected for Sheridan's last resting
place is extremely beautiful and appropriate;
It is but few rods from tho old mansion

season of heavy leaf, will make it beautiful

"OLD MAN DAVIDGE." !"
IN HIS TIME HE PLAYED WELL
MANY PARTS.

He Was Fellow of Infinite Jest, but
His Conversation Had Vein Of Pathoa
Too, and He Was Universally Beloved
and Respected by tho Profession.
On April IS, 1887, there was given at one
Of the New York theatres unique perform
ance, in which most of the prominent actors
and actresses then In New York took part.
1t was benefit performance, in commemo-
ration of the fiftieth anniversary of the first
public performance of Actor William Pleater
Davidge, who died recently on q railroad
train near Cheyenne, Wy. T. Fifty-one
years behind the footlights is record that
few, It any, living actors can claim. Will
liam Davidge was almost universally beloved,
and thoroughly respected as well. in the pro-
fession which he so truly adorned His wit
ty remarks and funny stories, seldom with
out tone Of pathos, however, made him at
all times wholesome companion.
He met John Brougham at restaurant one
day. Brougham handed the waiter IS
piece, but the man clumsily dropped it and
it rolled from sight.
''Where in thunder,n said Davidge, s'can

"Gone to the devil, suppose" replied
Brougham, s'for I can't find it."
"Well." said Davidge with mischievous
grin, II always thought you could mako
money 60 further than any actor living, but
I'll be hanged it supposed you could make
it 60 as far as that unless you took it your
SELF"
Davidge was firm believer in the old
stock companies, and he greatly deplored
that Towering of the public taste that al
lowed the trashy business of today to super
sede really artistic and entertaining work."

Georgia Democrats Again Choose Him
for Their Standard Bearer.
Gen. John Brown Gordon, who has bee44
renominated by the Democrats Of Georgia
for governor, is still in the prime of life, but
Sc years old and well preserved; but he has
been hard student, hard working lawyer
and soldier through all grades up to Heuten-

man, senator, railroad man and governor.
He bears the scars Of eight wounds received
In battle, and innumerable hurts in politics.
After being reduced almost to poverty on
the fall of the Southern Confederacy he has
built up handsome fortune and lost much
of it, and after seeing his native Georgia
completely FRUSTRATED he has been among
the most active in making 1t truly the en-

deed been remarkable, and he is still young
and vigorous enough to rise to higher honors.

It sometimes happens that the peddlers who
travel from door to door with usual patience
and humility become spirited and independ-

Boston family, illustrates. One day lady
who saw the approach Of peddler put her
head out of the window and called out: 1--WE

commissioners ere expected to report a

The exclusiveness Of the Chinese nation is
rapidly wearing away, and the sending Of
commissioners to this country to learn from
foreigners SO hated by the people Of China
indicates that trife Of common sense is be-
ginning to take root in the Celestial brain,
and bye-and-bye they may throw off sufi-
cient Of superstition and prejudice to begin
new era in that semi -barbarous civilization
which is the oldest in the world.

massive block of marble, are the bones Of
ALL, gathered after the war from Bull Run
and other fields on tho route to tho Kappa

Gettysburg, lie buried here. Within the
LOO acres Of this National cemetery there
is room for 10O, 900 graves, and any soldier of

tigation at New York an Italian immigrant
who had been induced to leave his native soil
testified that he could live in New York city
on Is cents day by practicing economy. For
Is cents day he could live comfortably.
Perhaps this is not fair example of what
it costs an Italian in a large city to live Let
US consider what he eats. First, macaroni,
Then fruit, few vegetables, but rarely any
meat Macaroni is one of the cheapest of
food products, and one of the most nu-
trltlous. An Italian macaroni factory, by
the way, is curious place to visit.
There are number of them in Boston.
Macaroni is made by hand from flour and
water. The dough is put into cylinder
about eighteen inches in diameter, the bot
tom of which is filled with holes. Then the
dough is pressed through. The holes in the
the macaroni are made by placing wires
through the holes in the cylinder. The ma.
caroni is then taken to a floor above and
dried, when it is ready for USE Only Ital-
ians can make macaroni. OF course the
quality Of that made in Boston does not
equal that made in Italy. There they do it
differently. The grain grown in southern
Italy is better adapted for the purpose It
contains more gluten than the grain Of more
northern countries. The wheat is ground in
mill and is then sifted five times. What is
left from the last sitting makes, of course,
the finest quality Of macaroni. Then it is
made into dough and kneaded. There are
two different ways of kneading. One is to
put pole into perpendicular post in the
ground. The pole acts as lever, and the
dough is placed In a vessel under one end to
which is attached an instrument which, when
worked by man or woman at the other end,
churns it to proper degree of stiffness. An
other way Of kneading is to pile up the dough
and walk over it with the bare feet The
best macaroni is made this way. But peo-
pie in this country will be glad to learn that
most Of the macaroni we eat is made in New
York by new process, a history Of which
would contain no disgusting suggestion.
But to retnrn to the subject.
