POVERTY IN SICILY.
The Pathetic side of Life in Sunny Italy's
Sunniest PrOYincf.

The distance from the Simento river
to Palermo is about 120 miles. We
travelled this distance on our excellent
donkeys in four days, writes the Naples
correspondent of the New York CONNER
cial Advertiser with time TO spare for
brief excursions from tho main highway
to objects of special interest. The face
of the country is mountainous, savo
whore now and then infreQucnt level
plains intervene. The mountainous
districts recall some of the sterile and
forbidding heights of Spain. The plains
though exceedingly fertile, seem unln'
habited.
Italy and Sicily are sunny enough
Cereals, fruits and flowers are almost
tropically luxuriant; but how can tho
humane traveller rave over the glorics of
pagan ruins, the massivcness of medl@-
val monuments, monastcrieS, cathedralS
and fortresses, or the dazzling palaces of
the nobility of to-day, when almost the
entire people of the land are the serfs of
few; when the lowly comprise all but
the nobility, the governing classes and
ecclesiastics; and when doubtless 2,5OO,-
600 souls out of Sicily's ., 1854, o99 inhabi-
tants are ambitionless, ignorant and sod
den as swine?
An infinite compassion fires ones
heart for the hopelessness Of such peo-
pie; and when interest in tremendous
natural phenomena, classic regions and
old remains lessons, the pitiable and
pathetic side of life in such land be-
gins to possess and hurt you. Any land
boasting no progressive farming, popu-
lation masters of the soil they till, with
out fairly contented peasantry possess
ing secure and well-detned rights in
their holdings, is doomed to desertion

ANCIENT ALMANACS.
A New England Woman Finds Some That
Contain Curious Things.


Spring cleaning generally brings to
light lot of forgotten things, and this
time q woman in bingham Center found
some old almanacs, one of them l2O
years old, printed at Boston twenty
three years before the present Old
Farmers Almanac was established. 1t
is called the "Astronomical Diary; or,
Almanacl1 for the Year of Our Lord
Christ 177O" by Nathaniel Ames. Price,
2s Sd per dozen and coppers single.
In the preface is an extract from Rev,
Mr.. Eliot's ESSAYS on Field llusbandry
IN New England" in which the writer,
after mentioning the introduction of silk
culture into New England says: "And
for thoir future encouragement will in
form them that tlrcy.may soon be fur
nished with cups and Saucers equal to the
best chinaware imported, for supping
their soul-cnchanting tea without mo-
lestation, for all the materials are dis
covered amongst us, and manufacturers
are preparing them for making china
ware at Boston, where the best of green
and tortoise shell ware is already made.
Preparations are now being made for
several new manufactures; the people
are determined no longer to neglect the
one thing needful for their political sal
vation."
Among the maxims in the calendar
pages are:
"The politicians spin so fine thread
that princes think they lead when they
are led"
"Dost thou love Life? Improve Time,
for that's the stuff Life is made Of"
Fools make feasts and wise men eat
them"
If you would know the value of mon.
ey, go and try to borrow some"
The compiler in the preface of one for
l774, after explaining that 'Almanack
is an evident Abbreviation Of all my
knacl, or all's mans knack," says:
"Having made this curious Discovery,
the effect of long study and close appli-
cation, and communicated it, by this
Channel, to all Lovers of Ancient Liter
ature; | shall without expatiating on
the Care, Trouble. Pains, Expense, etc,

my Lubrications entertaining, amusing
interesting, ETC., talIo my leave till next

In restoring draperies or curtains of

soap, rin3ed through cold water with a
little salt in it, and dried quickly in the
shade. They should be folded before
getting quite dry, and ironed lightly
with not too hot iron.

FACTS ABOUT pAIL-STONES.
IL Takes But Ten Minutes TO Form the
largest Ones Ever KnnNn.

it Takes But Ten Minutes to Form the
Largest Ones Ever Known.
Mcteorologists are not unit in agree-
ment upon the manner Of formation of
hail-Stones. The theory of Dove has
been given most credence. lie believed
that the hail-stone passed rapidly from
the cold air to the warm, moist air, and
again froWthe warm air into the cold
or, thus alternately taking on q jacket
OF moisture and freezing it around the
nucleus or heart. Tho formation of tho
nucleus itself, it Is conceded, is from the
snow-fakes in the cold cloud, which be-
ing mhirlcd about forms small ball,
abott which subsequent layers CONCEAL
as the ball is tossed about into the at
mosphorcs of different temperatures
The hail-stone from its varying shapes
and angularities, shows that it has had
wild and irregular career in the sky,
sometimes melting into crooked shapes,
then being tossed upward and CONCEALED
rapidly 1t takes but ten minutes SO
the metoOrologists say, to form tho
largest hail-stones known. While many
of those that fell Sunday were nearly
jagged, and some had fiat face on ono
side and we're covered with nobulcs on
the other.
The most remarkable hail-storm on
record was that of July Is, 1888, which
passed from Touraine, France, to Bel
gium. 1t travelled in bands or separate
belts. While the western band had IL
width of ten miles and length Of 420
miles, the eastern band had with Of
five miles and length of 800 miles. A
band of rain twelve miles wide was be-
tween them. Over / 900 communeS suf-
fered and property valued at rs, 100000
was destroyed. The most fatal storm Of
the kind was that of April 80, 1888, at
Moradabad, India, in which over 3SD
lives were lost. John Eliot, meteorolog
ical reporter to the government Of India,
says of this storm: "Verandas were
blown away, and the massive pucca por-
tico was blown down. 1t was nearly
dark. Hail was on the g"ound two feet
deep, Persons caught in the open wero
simply pounded to death. The area of
this storm was only about six or seven
miles around Moradabad.'
Probably the worst hail-storm that
ever occurred in this country was that
of June Is, 1852, at Dubuque, Iowa. For
thirteen minutes, beginning at 2;35 p. m,
hail-stones fell, some of which were scv
--rtt==1a iu,t,vp in ytruuurftrvINV. THU
largest weighed p pounds. They eN-
hibited diverse formations, some OF
them having knobs and iciclos half an
inch in length. Others wore surrounded
by rings of differcnt-colorcd ice, with
gravel and blades Of grass imhedd"d
within. The foreman Of the Novelty
IRON Works stated that he melted two
which had living frogs within them
This report comes from the Monthly
Weather Review, issued by the Govern
mPnt.
A Dubuque newspaper report accom-
panying the picture states that hail
stones as large rs cocOanutS were thrown
down, and some ladies cooled a pitcher
Of lemonade with them, and wrote to
Eastern friends that they had made tho
drink palatable wi tn ice frozen in that
city on June Is. In falling the stones

Cepter of the United States.

Do YOU know the exact location OF the
center of the Union? Never thought
anv thing about it probably. Well it is
marked by a grave-that of Major
Ogden, of the United States Army, who
died at Fort Riley, Kas., in 1855, during
the cholera epidemic of that year. The
remains of the Major were removed to
Fort Leavenwerth and buried in the
National Cemetery there, but his monu-
ment still stands upon little knoll to
the northeast of the fort-Fort Riley
and it lifts It's head towards the clouds
in the exact geographical center of the
limited States. OF the thousands of
men who have been located at Fort
Rilev during the past forty years, per-
haps not one in hundred knew or cared
ANYTHING about the oddity of his situa-
tion. The post is few miles east of
Junction City, Kas., and was formerly
one of the most important in the United
