REED TO ITALY.

What shall / say to thee, . queen
OF Latin nations, classic joy,
And home of each delightful scene
Which once / roamed. a happy boy
By proxy? Aye, what If did
Read Julius Cesar with pony"
And hate thee. when thoughtless kid"
o sunburnt land of macaroni!
Since then I've learned to love thee well,
No longer having now to scan
Thy bards and orators, whose spell
Falls DER mech, an altered man,
con them now with pure delight.
And strive to emulate their zeal
A modern Cesar /. whose right
Is but the right of brass and steel
o Marius, when you sat you down
On damp rock where Carthage stood
o Cesar. when you scorned a crown
And braved the wrath of Theirs flood;
0 Nero. when, while Roma flashed,
You knocked your Tyre into pi,
You had hard luck-but I'll be-dashed
If you played in such luck as
IN. Y. World.

Beware OF Pneumonia.

"It is an old tale" said DR.. J. B. Webb,
''but people cannot be warned too often to
take great care of themselvt in the prevailing
sharp and sudden changes of weather. Pneu-
monia is prevalent in the city. There were
nearly score of deaths from the disease last
week. The number of cases existing has not
been reported. Why, a couple of friends with
last Wednesday said they believed the back of
the winter had been broken and would go
home and take off their thick under fannels.
l told them they were fools If they did and
deserved to die of acute pneumonia within
forty-eight hours"

ART NOTES.

Max Weyl will have good reason to mark
the recent exhibit OF the Washington Society
of Artists with bright letter, as nearly one
half the amount OF sales (S2, ,5O0) goes into
his pocket. He takes the first prize, sells
number of pictures in his studio in conse-
quence, and gets an order for a picture for
the Corcoran Art Gallery.
Another thing is evident. The gentlemen
artists of the club mean to honor superiority
wherever they find It, even IL the prizes go
to competitors outside the club and wear
feminine attire. Hence Miss B. K. Perrie
carried off the prize in the water-color ex-
hibit, and all said, "Good !"
Mr.. r. N Brooke expects to sail for Europe
IN April. While he ostensibly goes abroad as
buyer for Mr.. Thomas Waggamans private
gallery, he also goes for work. For some rea-
son which Mr.. Brooke says sis unexpain-
able" even to himself, he can do better work
over the water than on this side.
Mr.. U. s. j. Dunbar scored victory the
past week by having Madame Bernhardt grant
him studio sitting, and there modelled her own
features In clay to place beside his other prec-
ious souvenirs. She promises him sitting in
the autumn, on her return trip East. Mr.. Dun
bar being the only sculptor exhibiting carries
of all the honors, which he says "are easy"
Remember there is but one week more of
the Washington Artists exhibit. 1t closes
on Saturday, April 4.

When count over on my fingers the men
of any prominence in American art to-day

while their morality is notoriously bad.

Did the niger Mako NTIstakeY

On May 10, at the village of Hebool, in
the Ankola subdivision OF the district OF
Kanara, a large tiger was killed under the
following strange and tragic circum-
stances Shortly after sunset woman of
the cultivating class was gathering fallen
fruit under II small clump Of mango trees
on the edge Of rice field not more than
100 PAGES from her dwelling.
Suddenly from shallow, dry ditch,
which ran close by the spot, a tiger, which
had apparently stalked the woman under
its cover, sprang on her, seized her by the
back Of the neck and bore her to the
ground Her shrieks of agony brought
out a neighbor whose house was not more
than fifty PAGES away, and who then saw
the tiger standing on the high ground
above the ditch at some little distance from
the body Of his victim. There the animal
seems to have remained until the arrival
of the patel and Mohammedan with a
loaded gun. They had heard the cutlery Of
the first eyewitness from where they were
sitting in the patels house, not less than a
quarter OF mile distant.
The Mohammedan. with commendable
promptitude, GOODNESS and pluck, succeeded
in stealing near enough to the tiger TO kill
him with one shot. An examination OF the
corpse showed no other marks Of injury
save those caused by the teeth of the tiger.

The German Emperor.

William II has been for three years en-
peror, and in this time has not only sue
ceeded in winning the respect of foreign
cabinets but in strengthening himself at
home. He succeeded father idolized by
all who came within the sphere Of his gen
tie and generous nature; his grandfather
left behind warlike fame so great that
only the age of Frederick II can afford a
parallel. The present emperor has had,
therefore, no easy task before him, for it
has been necessary for him both to remove
prejudice and to give the country conf
dence in his intentions as well as in his
abilities
The secret of the emperor's power with
his own people arises mainly from three
causes:
First. He has courage.
Second He is honest
Third. He Is thorough German.
II the whole country had to vote tomor-
row for leader embodying the qualities
they most desired, their choice would fall
unquestionably on their present constitu-
tional ruler. Perhaps the virtues | have
specified appear commonplace, and will be
taken for granted by the reader; but an
emperor must be compared with others in
the same trade.
His honesty has been the cause of nearly
all the malevolent criticism that outside
papers have accorded him, for he has said
freely what older or more polite people
might have placed in a different way, He
has made many minor mistakes from act
ing upon the impulse of the moment, but
these mistakes have never betrayed to his
people want of sympathy with their de-
yelOpment He has made his share Of
minor blunders in handling large masses
Of troops nc the grand maneuvers, but the
army would be happy TO see him make
thousand times as many rather than to
miss the active interest he takes In keep
ing the military machine in working order.

A Cool Pillow.

"My pillow is SO hotp' is the frequent
plant of the tired invalid who vainly seeks
some cool spot on which to rest her fevered
head. "Change the pillows frequently %
we are told by an authority on nursing,
''as nothing is more restful to patient
than to have a cool support TO head and
back" The following suggestion, there
fore, may prove to be Of service; Take writ
ing paper Of any kind-old letters and en-
velopes can all be made of use4-and cut In
slips Of two inches long and about half an
inch wide. Curl these with dull knife,
and after stuffing the pillow case with them
sew up the end The result win be very
comfortable pillow through which there
will be constant circulation Of air, and
which will remain perfectly cool.-New

How High Was the Tower OF Babel9
The actual height at (which the last stone
of that famous structure, the Tower OF
Babel, rested cannot, on account of the re-
moteness OF the times at which it IS said
to have existed, ever become more than a
matter of merest conjecture. Herodotus,
who lived about l,70O years after that
great spiral way TO heaven" is said to have
been attempted, says that he saw at Baby
Ion structure consisting of eight towers,
raised one above another, each seventy-five
feet in height; but whether this ruin was
the remains of the Tower of Babel it was
even then impossible to ascertain. Herodo.
tus, usually minutely exact in his writing,
leaves us in ignorance as to how the upper
level Of each of these 75-foot towers was
reached from the level below.
AS might be expected, even in tradition,
q wide difference of opinion exists as to
the height of the tower. Most orientalists
maintain that God did not put stop to
the work until the tower had reached a
height of 10000 fathoms, or about twelve
miles. In Ceylonese tradition it Is said to
have been as high as 10000 elephants, each
standing one above the other. st. jerome
asserts on the authority of persons who
had examined the ruins that it did not
reach height exceeding four miles. Other
statements are still more extravaganza

A WONDERFUL CAVE.
Explorations in n Cavern Near Mitchell,
Tn

Explorations in n Cavern Near Mitchell,
Ind.-ApFarations
MITCHELL, Oct. o. - Explorations
made in Shiloh cave, or "Wet cave"
about fifteen miles northwest of Mitchell,
show that it rivals some of the noted
caves in the southern part of the state
in its beautiful scenery. One of the
passages has been explored for about a
mile from the side of deep sink, where
it begins, to place near Salt creek, in a
southern direction. Immediately inside
the steep slope below the entrance is a
wide, high grotto, with noisy brook
running along the floor. AS the brook
proceeds further down the cavern it
gets larger, and it's numerous windings
make it tedious to cross until at q
distance of about half mile it rushes
over fall into wider basin below,
from whence it is more difficult to fow-
low it.
The entrance to the cavern is near an
old graveyard, at Shiloh church, under
which the passage winds. This fact, to-
gether with the old relics that were for
merly found in the cave, the strange,
hooking voices that come up from be-
WhucAlIlB udIAHebs, anu In6 running
waters, all add to the weird effect of the
scene, causing many to see strange
things and have subjective sensations of
spooks without heads and bony skele-
tons, with rafting joints, whose bony
fingers pass with swish through the
air as they grab for the passer-by, and
whose cold touch some claim to have
felt upon their trembling shoulders.
There are several passages that have
not been examined. Everywhere is to
be seen shining stalactites and beauti-
fully-shaped figures. There are some
evidences that the cave once served as
retreat of men.

! HURT THOSE WHO HURT ME-.
The Motto OF Manuel Garcia, the Defiant
and RevengefuI Cuban Outlaw.


HAVANA, Oct. THE military exc.
cution at La Cabano Castle on Satur-
day last, of Eustasio Mendez, the kid.
naper, who was arrested at Caibarien,
does not seem to have instilled any fear
into the hearts of the other persons en-
gagged in brigandage and kidnapping in
various parts of Cuba.
Intelligence has reached this city Of
another brutal crime committed by
bandits. The scene Of this last outrage
was the Conformidad plantation, which
Is situated near Quivican. The we'll
known outlaw, Manuel Garcia, with
two other bandits, made an attack upon
the residence of Senior =. Hernandez
and killed both him and his wife.
When an officer searched the body of
Senior Hernandez, he found in one of
the pockets of his clothing letter ad-
dressed TO the civil authorities of
Quivaican. The letter had been written
by Garcia, and the supposition is that
he placed it in the pocket of his victim
to show his contempt of the efforts
made by the civil and military authori-
ties TO effect jhe capture Of the outlaws.
The murdered couple leave four chill
dren. Hernandez was aged forty, and
his wife, who was pregnant, was thirty
two. Hernandez head was almost
severed from his body. Garcias letter
says: HERNANDEZ has been my friend
since boyhood. / killed him because he
etried to deliver me to the guards. l
have never before killed woman, but
killed his wife because she induced
him to betray me. hurt only those
