HI Lifelong Danger.
Catania Letter in Boston Transcri

Catanla Letter IN Boston transcript
Strada Etna, Catania's longest street,
beginning at the very edge of the port
side, leads almost due north toward the
volcanoes peak, within few feet of
II 900 feet above the level Of the sea,
and fully twenty-eight miles away. The
area of county dominated by the
mountain, and at times subjected to
overflow of lava, is astounding. Its
circumference is fully 10 miles, and it
describes an irregular circle, of greatest
diameter from north to south. Catanla
stands at the extreme of southern
DETECTION in it's southern segment.
The Alcantara River, rising in its
northwestern foothills, flows to the
northeast then circles its northern
edge, and finally sweeps around TO the
southeast into the sea. The SimeteO
River, having its source at the north
east, near that of the Alcantara, circles
the base, first to the southwest, then
southwark, and then flows around and
into the sea to the southeast, below Ca
tania. From Catania to the mouth of
the Alcantara, the Ionian Sea on the
east, running with almost straight wall
of shore, cuts thin segment out of this
circle But within this extraordinary
distinct circle Of 10 miles there is not a
square inch of the earth's surface over
which the lava has not at some time
poured, which one cannot now distin-
guish to be unadulterated lava soil, and
which is not subject to-day, or any 9TH
er time, to a new coating of molten
lava.
The entire majestic contour of the
mountain, broken here and there by
volcanoes, is visible from any point at
this tremendous base-edge. But more
strange than all else is the density of
population within the lower and culti-
vably luxuriant rim. Threading the
base, along the seashores of the Alcan-
tara, around to the south along the in
ner, or northern, shore of the Simeteo,
and crowding up to the very edge of its
lesser volcanoes, are between sixty and
seventy cities and villages, housing

Female Passengers,

We had about twenty-five miles to 60
by stage in Missouri, says the New York
Sun man, and it was early spring and
the roads were very bad. The stage
started about half an hour before day
light and there were five men of us and
two women. these last had the back
seat and talked only to themselves.
We were not over two miles out when
the stage got stuck, and down every
man had to get and lift, and pull, and
pry. Three miles further on we
were stuck again. In going fourteen
miles we were stuck five times, and
in going the twenty-five we lifted that
old stage out of the ruts, and holes and
bitches almost dozen times. The five
of us were wet, splashed, muddy and
hungry when we finally drove up to
the terminus and you can imagine our
feelings when those two women got
down. removed their shawls and bonnets
and stood revealed as two hearty and
robust men. We were looking at them
with open mouths, when one of them re-
marked:
Thanks for your labors, gentlemen.
We knew the road and prepared for it.
Will you imbibe?"
But we were too indignant to accept.

Country Roads.
From the Youths Companion

From the Youth S com
Attention cannot be too frequently
drawn to the importance Of good ROADS.
In cities, even, the pavements OF the
streets are better index to the popular
taste and to public spirit than are the
walls of public buildings. In the coun,
try roads are the measure OF pubic ana
private enterprise. They favor or nm
der intercourse according as they are
good or bad, and upon intercourse de-
ponds to large extent the intelligence
and refinement OF people.
The Romans knew we'll not only now
to CONQUER. but how to civiliZe and gov
ern. They were the road-bullders OF
their time. There are miles and miles
of road-bed still in use in England that
was laid down LOO or 800 years ago.
In France they are older and more eX-
tended. Along these lines have grown
up some of the largest and most pros
porous cities of the world. Through
MANY centuries the thoroughtares fur
nished all the advantages OF naVlgaDle
waters.
But the argument drawn from the
profit and loss account is the one most
effective in these days, and that IS the
one which readers are likely to meet
with pretty often in our public prints.
Several estimates made by experts upon
economic questions have been recently
published.
Prof. Ely, of Johns Hopkins Univer
sity, reckons that poor roads cost the
farmer, on an average, Slipper horse"
Prof. jerks, of Knox College, Illinois,
argues that with good permanent roads
freight could often be hauled ten miles
on wagons cheaper than it could be
ia l<nD one mile on q dirt road to q rail-
road station, unloaded, put Oh the cars
and carried to its destination.
These are the opinions Of specialists
who have no doubt gone over a great
many columns of statistics IN making up
their estimates There is no practical
teamster who will not admit the rea-
sonableness of their conclusions. The
greatest obstacle, perhaps, to the i'm
provement desired arises from the cir
cumstance that there are as yet no really
good roads in this country and from the
other fact that the science of building
roads has hever been studied by our
peODle

Concerning Shoes.
From the Shoe and Leather Reporl

From the SnOo ana Leather Reporter.
1t is not to be wondered at that people
closely the higher-priced shoes, both in
form and apparent quality, that the
masses are led to believe that they are
as good as they look. Made on the same
graceful lasts, finished apparently fault
lessly, lustrous and shapely, they are
disappointingly deceitful. Many wom-
en- buyers are far more exacting in
he..matter of scrupulous fit, by which
the foot is made to look neat and trim,
than they are about quality. A shoe
that will make a woman proud of the
foot which it covers, though only a SIM
ulation Of solid worth, is, in some meas
ure, an atonement for the wreck which
speedily follows the wearing of it.
A careful study of several hundred
pairs of feminine feet on a busy thor
oughfare during shopping hours proves
that the stubby foot has disappeared.
Presumably it has lost it's identity in a
long, slim-toed shoe. Misses who for
merly wore shoes SO short that the toes
could be counted, pressing against the
forward end, now have shoe leather
enough at this point to turn up beyond
the natural toes at each step.
Shoes that are too narrow for the feet
produce that tingIing and burning sem
sation which usually precedes the dor
mant state of an extremity gone to
sleep" This is occasioned by retarda-
ton of the blood circulation, and is in
furious to both head and feet. No re-
strairt can be placed on the circulatory
system without affecting other parts
than those where the restriction is
placed.
Many persons who buy shoes with
patent leather caps or whole foxings
think they are getting the best there is
of the kind, whereas most cheap shoes
are furnished with split horse-hide,
japanned, and not patent calf at all.

AS to ,IOckIeS.

1t is not to be wondered at that Jock
eys occasionally get what is technically
known as ''big head" and grow POM
pous and important. Few docks" can
stand the tremendous temptation to
which they are subjected. Most Of
them are more or less ignorant stable
boys who suddenly find that they are
in command of earnings ranging be-
tween $4,000 and $40, 900 year, and
who are courted, hattered and patron
lied in the most absurd manner by men
of wealth and position. All sorts of
racing and sporting men treat jockeys
with tiattering consideration, for the
BOYS ''sleep in the stalls with the
horses and know more about their
running qualities than any outsider, no
matter how we'll informed he may be
The Judgment of jockeys is not as q rule
valuable in deciding upon the finish of
a race, but their knowledge of the form
of a race horse and the exact condition
III which he may happen to be on the
eve Of the struggle is of great impor-
lance. Hence the champagne, tips and
promises which are brought to bear
upon the boys. Most of them have to
keep III rigid training, DENYING them
selves all but the necessaries Of life so
as to keep down to riding weight, and
tins has tendency to keep them
short tempered. 1t is not to be Won
dered at that a jockey occasionally falls
by the wayside.

Prosperous Chinese Farmer.
Eron, +Ia NUiJ11,,,c ICo1N

Mr.. Joe La Marshe rents sixty acres
southwest of Tulare, with one artesian
we'll, to a Chinaman for $4,000 year.
There are more than a hundred such
wells within days drive from Tulare.
and we doubt if there be another that
pays its owner better than Mr.. La
Marshes pays him. But the Chinaman
is by no means unhappy. No one has
heard him complain of dry years or
tight money. During 1880 he sold
$4,000 worth of stuff Oft that sixty acres
OF land, and it is safe to say that the
biggest part of that $4,000 was profit.
We presume this Chinaman does not
own bang-up six-horse team and hasn't
forty-acre lot full of machinery out
summing itself, but he made as much on
his sixty-acre truck patch as some of our
biggest farmers lost on their broad acres
of wheat, and that is doing we'll enough.

Elemental Prayers.

When Max O'Rell was questlng IN
Scotland for humor he was told OF
PRESBYTERIAN minister who had just cut
his hay, and, the weather not Delng
very propitious for making 1T, he knelt
near his open window and addressed 70
Heaven the following prayer: ~ Lord,
send us wind for the hay; not rantln' },
tantin' tearin' wind, but a noughln,
soughin,' winnin' wind" But Dean
Ramsay was before Max O'Rell, says
the Gentleman's Magazine, and as the
story appeared in his "Reminiscences"
due acknowledgements Of the fact was
given. We should. however, submit
that the dean was not first in the field,
but that the circumstances may have
crept out of the talmud and been cap
tured and carried to the Presbyterian
fold, as we find the following in a
learned transactions: "Choni, the cir
cling charmer, was asked to pray for
rain After his preparations and
prayers drops began to fall. | have
not asked for this said he, but for
such abundance as to fill wells, bitches
and caves A tempest of rain was the
result. No. said he, that is not what
| ask, but rain of pleasantness, blessing,
but continued to fall till Israel had to
leave Jerusalem 1Or the 1cIlplc houllI
on account of the swelling torrents.
Pray now,' they cried, for it's .discon-
tinuance.' Go and see,' said he,
whether the water has covered the In
quiry stone The president of the San
hedrim sent him the following mes
sage: Were it any other man than
Choni I would decree his excommuni-
cation, but what can | do unto thee,
whose presumption, like that of a son
against his father, is met by the eternal
one with the fulfillment of my desires. )"
