servatory of music; not an Italian at all,
but Teuton, who had been imported to
teach Italian youth the art of
Paganini. His method was the
method of Joachim; he had skill
and experience, and he spoke French. We
considered it piece of rare good fortune
that he could give Estelle two lessons q
week; and we lost no time in securing
him. Even little Ariel was never at a
loss for amusement within doors. He,
too, had passion for drawing, and he
would often put aside his other play
things to take up his pencil. favorite
subject with him was Vesuvius, which he
drew over and over again; he was
especially strong in making the smoke at
the top. Although in his sixth year, we
had never taken any pains to teach him
the alphabet; but he learned the letters
by drawing them first and inqTiring their
names afterwards.
Meanwhile we saw, of course, the prln-
cipal sights which everybody sees in Ma
pies, and enjoyed almost daily walks and
drives. The weather for the first two or
three weeks was superb; sort of Indian
summer continued to midwinter. But
then came cold and rainy days; often
Vesuvius and the AppenInes would be
heavy with snow, and twice we had q
few flying flakes in the city. Still, be-
tween showers, we managed to have our
little occasional excursions, and I, at
any rate, would go to the villa
and the seashore, or take a ramble
on the Corso victor Emanuel, and enjoy
the magnificent panorama of ever
changing views, almost every morning or
afternoon.
Naples is full of novel sights and
SOUNDS, of which we never wearied. 1t
extends from tie bay up the mountain
sides, and many streets are so steep as
TO be inaccessible to vehicles. Foot
passengers ascend and descend by stone
stairs, which are often built broad for
accommodation of donkeys. It is aston
ishing to see what burdens these patient
little animals will bear with sure feet up
the long, narrow flights of donkey
stairs. - Now they are well packed
panniers of vegetables, which peasant
is peddling from door to door, with loud
cries; now it Is load of goods, marvel
ously balanced and bound to the crea-
ture's back; or 1t may be enormous
bundles of long, slender fRggots, which
so hides the donkeys beneath that they
look to be mere moving brush heaps when
seen from above.
Its situation on the mountain sides af-
fords wonderful views of the city or the
sea from the innumerable points, and
gives TO Naples an airy picturesque as
poet. The streets are generally very
narrow, while the buildings are loftyi

would gather within hearing distance he
would harangue them loudly, perhaps
upon the error of their ways. The visit
ors, with heads atilt, would listen with
solemn intentness as if to the words of an
oracle, and the lecture would go on till
the appearance of some one from the
house would frighten the strangers away +,
when the patriarch IN the tree top would
send after them q derisive "WhoOr-
hoor-ha-a-a!'
A sad thief was Lijer. It seemed that
If there was an honest bone in his black
body it must be a very small one. 1t was
believed by the Baxters that the only
things safe from his dishonest bill were
those so large and heavy that they were
beyond his ability to lug off For metal
objects, especially if they were bright,
he had the greatest liking. Mrs. Bax-
ter's thimble would disappear, to be per-
baps found in some odd corner or orevice.
Spools of thread were to be discovered
poked into the bedding, in the kindling
box, behind the wash bench, out of
doors under big chips, and goodness
knows where else.
Part of paper of tacks left oarelessly
about one day attracted Lijer,s atten-
ton, and he made number of trips be-
tween it and the bread sponge that Mrs.
Baxter left on the table all ready for the
oven when neighbor dropped in. After
the departure of the caller the housewife
hastily thrust the bread into the oven
without noticing anything unusual about

it. Upon getting the loaf at supper she
was astonished to see one end of 1t plen-
tifully studded with tacks.
Lijer dearly loved to get at q we'll
filled pincushion, from which he would
extract the pins one by one and thrust
them INTO some convenient receptacle.
One night after the prophet unbeknown
to any one had robbed the pineushion,
Dolby was considerably surprised, if not
delighted, to find upon going to bed his
pillow carefully bestuck with pins.
One winters day old Mr.. Hanson
"sorta drapped in, ;" as he expressed it ,
and was sitting beside the stove retailing
the scanty gossip of the neighborhood !,
while his dog, faithful Tyler, was COM
fortably curled up before the fire. Lijer
was staggering about looking for an OPP
portunity for displaying his peculiar tai
ents, when live coal popped out of the
CRATE. Like flash he snapped it up in
his hard bill and inserted it into the dog 8
ear. Poor Tyler sprang up with terri
bic howl and dashed between the legs of
his master, who bad just risen to take
his departure, nearly standing the old
gentleman on his head, and sprang out
of the door, colliding with Dolby
who was just bringing in a bucket of
water. The bucket went flying, half
drenching the boy, and the dog scuttled
away, yelping mournfully, followed by
Lijer's triumphant "Whoor- hoor- ha- a.
a-a!''
But, in spite of all his villainies, Lijer
had one redeeming trait. This was his
fondness for Dolby, whom he loved with
all his rascally little heart. 1t was Dolby
who had fed him when he was a helpless
gormand and rescued him from the roos-
ter and bound up his broken leg and
nursed him tenderly. 1t was Dolby who
saved him from many unpleasant scrapes
usually brought upon himself by his own
rascality, and it was Dolby, too, who
petted and prsnked with him, and 1t was
upon Dolby that he lavished all the affeo-
ton that was in him.
He would swagger around after the boy
at his tasks, investigating everywhere +,
sticking his nose into everything, often
hrndering sadly while intending to be
helpful, and all the time murmurlng to
his master in crow language. He seemed
to deem nothing too good for Dolby, and
often when the lad was sitting quietly
the crow would hop up into his lap and
pop into pocket or q fold of his jacket
one of his choicest steals, and then back
away as proud as a peacock when Dolby
found and accepted the gift, usually
some small article that had been missing
from the house and accordingly charged
to Lijer, though perhaps no one had seen
him steal it. And when tired of prank
ing the crow would hop up on Dolby s
shoulder and mutter and humble IN his
ear and then drop off to sleep with his
head against the boys cheek.

of a pleasing style Of architecture, how
ever, covered generally with light
color en- stuceo; and the narrowness of
the streets, so far from rendering them
gloomy, serves useful purpose in keep
ing them cool and shady in summer.
Nearly every window has its balcony,
story above story, SO that the houses
have the appearance of hanging out nu-
merous ornamental iron cages.
Quite as curious as the donkeys are the
fiocks of goats which are driven INTO the
city morning and evening to be MIXED at
the doors. With their linking bells,
their quick, light walk or lighter trot,
and with their peasant drivers they form
one of the most characteristic sights of
Naples. Each goat seems to know the
door or gateway at which it is to be
milked; it stops, while its companions
canter away to the nearest garbage pile,
which they nibble, till they are driven
away again or another is called to take
It's turn at the milk can. Sometimes q
customer lets down by string, from the
fifth or sixth story, q basket with
a cup or mug in it and a little
money, and draws it ciToumspectly
tip again over the intervening balconies
after the mixer had filled the dish. O.
casionally goat is taken up several
flights of stairs within the house to be
MIXED at the apartment door of a par
ticulsr customer. 1t would seem as if
one might in this way make sure of get
ting uuadulterated milk. Yet, there is
a story of lady who had her milk de-
livered in this fashion and congratulated
herself on its purity, until she one morn
ing discovered that for every stream the
goatherd MIXED into the bowl he also let
in a spirit of water from a rubber tube
that ran up his sleeve to hidden bag
under his arm.

near by 1 went over to interview the pro-
prietor. His little shop was kept by
himself and two daughters, one of whom
picked out the pieces of coal from bin
and filed basket in the course of ten or
fifteen minutes. Meanwhile 1 took a
walk. On my return found the basket
filled and ready to be weighed. 1t was
attached TO clumsy steelyards, and these
were suspended from a wooden bar, sup
ported on the shoulders of the daughter
at one end and of the proprietor at the
other. Occasionally it was lowered
while the proprietor stopped to put on
one or two pieces more of coal, or to take
off one, or to exchange one for another
in adjusting the weight. This was half
quintal, with an allowance of three
pounds for the basket; price, two pounds
and haif-at the rate about $40 ton.
To this 1 added twenty-five small
fagots for kindlings, at cost of five
cents, saw them bound upon the top of
the basket, and supposed my concen-
trated machine was ready for delivery.
Not at all. There was not laborer IN
the yard. and the proprietor, standing
at the gate, began to look up and down
for one. AS no one appeared or came at his
whistle (the NeRpolItans have a signifi-
cant 'sst" when they wish to call any
one), l took another little walk. Re-
turning in ten minutes found young
fellow ready TO shoulder my basket and

have told you how very important It is
that only thorough soldier should be
selected for this position. Look around
among your comrades, pick out a boy
who is soldierly in every act and word,
quick as flash, fearless, independent,
and who will not hesitate to sneak his
mind to any man in the ranks who may
be inattentive or careless. With good
captain and good first sergeant you are
sure of having q good company, even
though the material of which it may be
composed Is rather poor, and [ feel
morally certain that the material that
you have, II you have stood to your work
through three months or six months of
setting-up drill, must be unusually good.
Be particularly careful whom you select
for captain and first sergeant. In choos-
ing your second sergeant or left guide,
get boy If possible about the height
of the first sergeant, and one who is ca
pable Of filling his place occasionally.
The other three sergeants and the cor
poraIs select from the boys who have
been devoted to their duty. prompt,
punctual and reliable; and you will have,
take it all in all, well Offered COM
pany. Now, of course, there will be
some who are much disappointed in not
having been elected to wear the stripes
or chevrons. Patience and perseverance
will overcome everything. Stick to your
work, would say to such young fellows,
and your promotion is sure to come; and
that ends my lecture on this subject. In
my own boy company here we had thirty
who stood to their guns to the last, and
among them are now some of the finest
captains and lieutenants that we ever
had in the national guard of this state;
and our best drilled company is COM
manded by a young fellow who five
years ago was going through his setting
up drill in the ranks of the Cadet Light
Infanty.

with drawing-room, which we did
not much frequent; it was small,
Differentiated and cold. There was
seldom a fire in it; or If there
was you had to look carefully around the
room to find the little square iron box in
which the handful of burning charcoal
was contained. The tawdry elegance of
the room did not comp ensate for its lack
of comfort.
Having decided to remain where we
were, we set about making our own
apartment as ooZy as circumstances
would permit. By a little changing
about of furniture we brought sofas and
easy chairs into inviting proximity, with
q center table for books and papers and
the evening lamp. We had begun with
candles furnished by the hotel at a half
penny each. These we followed with
others furnished by ourselves at three
cents ecah. But cheeriness required a
lamp; SO we bought one, with quart
can, which the porter filled for US as
often as we wished. And here 1 may as
well say word about kerosene oil in
Italy. It all comes from Amer
lea, and costs four times as
much at retail as it does there.
The uniform price is fourteen cents
quart, and it is not much cheaper bought
in larger quantities. Retailers make so
little on it that they add to profits by
dlluting it with some cheaper fluid.
When it was introduced here few years
ago, it was sold at very low figure, and
became at once popular. Small, mex
pensive lamps were also introduced, and
the poorest families bought them. Here
was light, come from Am erica, which
was so much cheaper and better than
candles! Then the price of oil went up,
and was taxed by the government and
controlled by monopoly; people must
buy 1t at the new rates or go without.
The result is that Anesican kerosene,
even at tifty-six cents gallon, is now
burned by almost everybody in Naples.
But to US the essential thing for cheer
and comfort was fire. The hotel would
furnish that. But finding that l could
buy English coal at a coal and wood yard

One September day the Baxters were
thrown into a futter of excitement by
the coming in most unexpected fashion
of visitors from the fort. Miss Ernes-
tine Rossiter of Chicago had lately be-
come the guest of Col. and Mrs. Conklin,
and several times the household under
the tall cottonwood had seen the stately
beauty ride by, a member of the eques-
TRAN party from the post. To-day her
escort was blonde-mustached and eye
glassed Lieut.. Lemon, just from West
Point, a gentleman OF apparently tre-
mendous Importance in his own mind.
How it came about does not matter,
but, when little way from the Baxter
homestead, the lsdy's horse stumbled,
giving her painful and most ungrace-
full tumble, bruising her somewhat and
giving her dignity q sad shock. This
was truly unfortunate, for, upon this
particular day, she had arrayed herself
with unusual care for the purpose of i'm
pressing the officer.
That gentleman came calamity to the
rescue and supported her tenderly to the
house where Mrs. Baxter, in high state
of fiutterment, did her best to administer
to the needs of her unexpected guest.
The lady's shoulder was abraded and
famed and one of her hands con-
siderably bruised. Mrs. Baxter was
ready with linen cloths and home made
liniment. Dolby thoughtfuliy brought a
