a PARIS paper commenting on The

A PARIS paper commenting on the
Atalian- American embrolio, says:
1.-The Yankees have q rather rude
hand and they are not troubled with
an excess of sentimentalitY. They
have shown it in New Orleans when,
in order to extrpate from their soil
the troublesome SIcilian society, the
Malta, they lynched eleven Italians,
more or less convicted of murder.
The answer of the United
States is polite, but rather vague.
That must be admitted. But Italy
will have to be satisfied with it. De-
spite her iron clsos she would lot
dare even with the permission of
William ii TO lombard the ports of
North America. She would like to
do it. But she does not ignore the
fact that the Yankees are expedi-
tious, lively people In everything,
and, moreover, well provided with
dollars. An armed conflict with the
United States would have for Italy
gravity far different from that of an
encounter with Abyssinian negroes.

lossal Johnathan can but make her
an object of laughter"

THE Italian muddle has assumed
new phase. King Hu mbert has Ia
ken exception to the caricatures ap-
pearing in some of the late New York
papers, in which he was made to ap-
pear as a monkey dressed in male at.
tire, with crown on his head. This
carlcature seems to be the straw
that has broken the camel's back.
He claims that these ridiculous
representations show that the Amer
leans have contempt for the Italians,
especially for their government. To
make things worse the church party
has been reproducing these wood
cuts in the city of Rome, to the great
annoyance of the king.

dressmaker resolve it into short round
waist, There are among the white,
left overs" remnants of black silk
lined or checked with red, which can
be bought cheap, and will make IN
beautifully. You, of course, will make
up the skirt, and here is the way to do
1t; Put six widths in it, gathering the
front and sides as little as possible, and
lay the back in a fan or double hoy
plait.
Cut a four-inch ruffle on the bias
double, not hem, the top, line it, and
sew about the sides and front cores
AS all the dresses drag, and all women
must follow the fashion, look well to
The facing of your skirt. Use for this
purpose some excellent quality of cash
mere or closely woven stuff. You will
only need a little, and u good piece will
save repairs Buy, too, the best grade
OF braid. Rubber is not used for this
purpose nor is any extender or steel

Worth of Good Breeding.

1t is more to the point to say that it
is important to keep the passages of the
nose perfectly clear, to have the mouth
well closed and mobile The last thing
before leaving privacy should always
be a toilette de nez, clearing it by
smiling water of cologne and water,
or spraying with the handy atomizer
which has so many uses for the toilet
besides wasting perfume.
There is no surer way of keeping the
eyes bright than by keeping the nose
clear and breath free The compound
stupidity of the stuffed head, the yer.

only physical but mental incompe-

there, fader.'
"That wasn't a lie, my son" replied his
father. "That was a mistake"

forgotten until IA few days afterward. Tom
came running into the house with his lips
betraying visible evidence that he had
been eating
"Tom, " said his mother, what have you
been eating?"
Nothing, mother" replied Tom.
"Why, Tom" said his mother, there are
crumbs all over YOUR mouth. Don't you
know you have told me story"
"No," replied Tom, promptly that was
