No, I guess not he said, without looking round, at least. never heard it called that before. It is generally called the Forest City. Perhaps it is Brooklyn He afterward explained that he thought had found @ reference in some book to a place called the City of God and wanted to know what city it meant.
 "On another occasion 8 woman with valise in her hand rushed in and asked a new boy if ho ha l That Husband of Mine in our store? He came rushing out to me in the back shop and sad g woman wanted to know if her husband was in our store. surmised what the trouble was and attended to her myself.

The Extent of IIIiteracy.

A census of tho illiterates in the various countries of tho world, recent ly published in the Statistische Mon atisschrift, places the three Slavic States of Roumania, Servia and Rus sia at the head of the list, with about 80 Fer cent. of the population unable to read and write, Of the Latinsspeak- ing races, Spain heads the list with 6 per cent, followed by Italy with IS per cent, France and Belgium having about b per cent, The illiterates in Hungary number 43 per cent, in Aus tria S9, and in Ireland 21 In England they are 13 per cent. In Holland 10 per cent, in the United States (white population) s per cent. and ia Scotland z per cent Among the purely Teu- tonic States there is a marked reduc- tion in the percentage of illiterates. The highest is in Switzerland, 2.5; Tn the whole German Empire it is but per cent; while in Sweden, Denmark. Bavaria, Baden and Wurtemburg there is practically no one who can not read and write,

A Curious Venetian Custom That Keeps

 Alive Poor Lovers Fate.
 In the courts of Venice a curious custom has been observed for five hundred years. When the Council O. Ten, body of men acting as a jury, brings in sentence of death, before the presiding Judge puts on the black cap the venerable crier advances and cries three times in a loud voice, " "Recordatevi del povera Marcolini. y Near the grand landing place of the gondolas are the columns of Saint Mark and Saint Theodore. Nearly all the people passing the grand land ing place pass around the columns. Only foreigners and strangers pass be- tween the two slender pillars. It is the ancient place of execution, and there Marcolini met his death.
 Many years ago Marcolini, young Venetian noble. paid court to the beautiful Giulietta, whose family oc- cupied a palace on tho same square. One night as the dial on the clock tower marked the early morning hour he wasreturnlng home from visit to his inamorata, softly singing in the exuberance of his spirits, for he had been accepted, and the parents of his fiancee had given consent to their nuptials. Passing across a small campo he picked up an embroidered belt, with an empty jsweled scabbard, and fastening the girdle around him, he continued his course, still humming his tune. When he came to the steps of the Rialto h. was seized by the guard and accused of murder He was taken to the spot where Senator Rinaldi lay dead with dagge in hIs heart It was found that tho stiletto exactly fitted the sheath which Mar colini carried. He was speedily tried, condemned and beheade1. Giulietta went mad and was confined on the little island devoted to the in3ane.
 Many years after a bandit on his death-bed confessed to priejt that he had been hired t) murder the Senator. The sentence against Marcolini was reversed and his confiscated e5tltes were restored to hIs family But poor Giulietta's reason could not be re- stored by an edict of law. When the judge who condcmnel Marcolini came to die he providel in his will that mass should be sun every night for ever in a chapel of tho ducal church, St, Mark s, for the soul of Marcolin and others who had suffered from un just judgments. Such is the story o. the Twilight Mass and tho words of the court crier: Remember poor Marcolini." Every night the bell is rung and a ray of light is seen to issue from tho little Gothic window that looks upon the ancient place of execu- tion.-N. Y. Star.
