Abstraet and Common Nouns.

During an etymology lesson a mistress
obtained az answer from a girl which
may be characterized both as ingenious
and ingenious. The lady was dealing
with the common nouns and their cog
nate abstract forms. In order to insure
that the class should thoroughly appre-
bend the subject of her discourse she
took care to put before them the very
plainest examples; such as common
noun judge; abstract noun) justice;
(common) coward; (abstract cowardice;
etc.
She then surmiscd that she might safe
ly venture to elicit from the girls them
selves a few examples of such cognate
forms. Accordingly, toward the close
Of the lesson she made the request.
After some time one child timidly
raised her hand.
"There's a good girl" said the teachers
NOW, what is your example Of these
common ana abstract formsg"
''Please, ma'am," answered the girl.
"(common) body; (abstract) bodicer'
Ineed scarcely remark that the COVER
ness decided that her class required at
least one additional lesson before being
subjected to a searching examination

Wandering Jews.

From the time of Abraham to the present, the migratory instinct has been strong among Jews. Mesopotamia, Canaan, Egypt, Canaan once more, As syria, Babylonia, Persia, Canaan third time, and then the whole world, is the route of migration, the itinerary, as it were, of the Hebrew race. The Jews are indeed the tribe of the wandering foot" The existence of Jews in out-of- the-way corners of the earth-the Eel ashas and Beni-Israel and the Cochin Jews-is only accounted for by their wandering instincts. No doubt that in- stinct has been strengthened by perse- .cution, but now when peace prevails the Jew still retains his fondness for travelling.

oRleIN oE THE MAElA.-
Its Very Birth Was HeraIded with .
 Isioody Ltbatlon.

Eioody Libatlon.
 Crime stained, as it is to-day, and ghastly with murder every step of its tortuous secret career, the "Mafia" sprang into being from an inspiration of patriotism, but its very birth was heralded by ibation of blood.
 Many years ago we read its story in an English magazine (if our recollection is faithfully, and that recollection is freshened by a recent communication in the St. Louis Republic, though our remembrance of the incidents differs somewhat from the narrative of the St. Louis correspondent.
 The 'Mafia' society is over six hun dred years old, having it's origin at the revolt of Palermo which took place during an Easter ceremonial in the suburbs of that city in the year l2S2. A beautiful young girl and her betrothed, in accordance with the quaint and primitive customs of that people, ap- preached the Church of the Holy Ghost to be united in marriage at its altar, and while the lover sought the venera- blc padre in the little room at the rear of the building his bride pauseA upon it's threshold. As she stood, eXpectant graceful as fawn, fair as a dream, her innocent heart throbbing with it's newborn happiness-a drunken ser geant of the French garrison, Druet by name, strode up behind her, threw his arm about her waist, and thrust a huge brutal hand into her pure, snowy bosom. With a cry of horror and fear the poor child tore herself from his pol luting grasp and turned to fly, but the heel of her dainty slipper caught in the coping of the stone pavement and she fell, striking her head against sharp projection of the church cornice.
 At that instant the returning lovers eyes fell upon his beautiful mistress lying lifeless, her white brow gaping with its cruel wound, her long tresses dabbled with her blood. With the say age fury of a wild beast he threw him self upon Druet, bore him to the earth and drove his stiletto to the wretch's heart, crying: "Morte alla Francia!" "Death to the French!'' There was a moment, a pause of silence and then that maddened cry became the roar of infuriated thousands. It swelled and deepened; it took more solemn meaning became nationalized-and then burst forth: "Morte alla Francia Italia dAS1d! OSdII UO IIlG II TcuCu IS lGdly S cry" For seventy-two hours armed bands, headed by the father and be- trothed of the hapless girl, hunted down the hated French, and their search was as the quest of the tiger and bloodhound.
 But retribution was to come after this carnival of blood, and in dread of the vengeance of the French nation these unhappy people formed them selves into secret organizations with the password and name of the society made up of the initial letters of the words which compose that fateful death-cry, thus forming 'Mafia." Its object was resistance to oppression, and as the lapse of years added to it's power and influence it stretched forth its hands against the rich and mighty in behalf of the poor and downtrodden. To-day it is but the hideous cloak of the creeping thug and the assassin of the night

THE ITATA RUMORSI
Mexico Still Sending Out Re- ports of a Sea Fight.
NAVAL OFFICIALS ARE PUZZLED.
They Cannot Account for the Lack of Re
 liable News from the Vessels.

1t 1t Believed that the Charleston Is Not
 Pursuing a Straight COurse-She is Look
 ing Around the Islands of the Upper
 Mexican Coast England is Excited Over
 the Chase.
 CrTY OF MEXICO, May 15.- The rumor is repeated here to-day that the Chilian steamer Itata and the United States cruiser Charleston had short fight and that the privateer was sent to Davey Jones's Locker.
 Even in government circles there seems to be Belief that the battle has taken place. though why the Itata should not surrender is beyond comprehension.
 One account has it that the Charleston fired on the Itata because the latter re- fused to heave to when ordered, and the Gillian responded from the small guns mounted on her decks.
 Only few shots had been fired when a shell from one of the Charleston's S-inch guns bnrst in the Itata's hold and ex- ploded the cargo of powder stored there, blowing the ship into fragments.
 Another story says the 1tata, on being overhauled by the Charleston, used every effort to escape, and only fired on the cruiser with her stern guns. A run ming fight was kept up for several hours and a number of shot struck the fleeing vessel and sank her.
 Nothing is said about the crew by those who retail this account, but it is pre- stunned they were rescued.

They Can't Carry Enough Coal.

You hear a good deal said about the big Italian ships of war that could blow the United States off the face of the earth if there were occasion. There are four of them, and they are undeniably busters, but not one of them could carry coal enough to steam across the Atlantic ocean, says Admiral Rogers, of the United States navy. Italy has no coaling stations on this side of the water, either. The only thing they could do, so far as can see, would be to escort colliers loaded with fuel in order that they might be able to get about. But that device might be awl- ward.

A RICH GEORGIA NEGRO.
How Generously He Treated the Family
 of His old Master.

How Generously He Treated the Family
 of His old Master.
 "I see that Ebert Head, a negro of Americus, Ga, has offered five thousand dollars for the location of a state negro educational institution in that town" said a southern man to St. Louis re- porter. "I know Ebert Head. and the story of his life, together with that of another negro of the same town, Jim Ellis by name, gives the lie to the oft repeated tales of the terrible treatment of slaves by their masters. Had such been the case Head and Ellis would never have taken part in the stories I am about to tell. They live almost in the shadow of Andersonville prison. Ebert Head is now about sixty-five years old. He is a tall, very dark ne- gro, with an air of keen shrewdness. He has no children. He was the slave of Dr. Head, of Stewart county, Ga. Of course he had slave wife. He was shrewd and intelligent and saved whatever money might have been given him. In 1856 he rented him. self and wife from Dr. Head and went to Americus, where he opened laun- dry. He did we'll, and saved enough money to have bought his and his wife's freedom, but he did not care to do SO. After his freedom was declared by the events of the war and he could buy land he invested his savings in different ways. Early in 1870 he bought big tract of land in Americus, known as Mccoy hill. Upon this he began gradually erecting negro cabins, until now there are hundreds of them there. It is here he made his fortune. He is probably worth one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, for he pays taxes on over one hundred thousand dollars, and is the third richest negro in the state. After his wife's death he adopted sever al girls, educated them as 'school-teach- CTS, and gave them a start in life.
 "Now, while Ebert Head was steadi- ly advancing in the way of wealth, his former master, like in many southern families, was steadily going backward. The war had ruined him in every way. The neighbors could not assist him for they were bowed down in misfortune equally as great. But Ebert had watched the course of events. Secret ly at first he gave aid to his old master, and finally furnished his entire support, released the old plantation from debt, sent his young master,' as he calls him, to eastern medical colleges and provided for him. Then old Dr. Head died. The boy came back a physician, and Ebert announced that his fortune would go to his masters son, outside of such sum as he might set aside for the education of the negroes.

AN AMERICAN LADY INJURED.
Possibly an Attempt at Murder In the
 Mountains of North Wales.

Possibly an Attempt at Murder In the
 Mountains of North Wales.
 LONDON, May 15.-A despatch from Chester states that Mrs. Donkin, of Bal timore, Md, has been found in the Snow den Mountains, North Wales, in terribly injured condition.
 The police incline to the belief that the lady has been the victim of foul play, and that an attempt had been made to murder her.
 Mrs. Donkin is so seriously injured that she has not yet been able to make 8 statement of the affair.
 The case is being investigated by the local authorities.
 The theory was first advanced that the lady received her injuries in consequence of having fallen down the mountain slope.
 When Mrs. Donkin was found she was unconscious, her head having been battered in by stones.
 Four physicians are now in attendance upon the lady, whose recovery is believed to be impossible.
 Her husband has been arrested on sus- picion of having committed the crime
 A later dispatch says that the mans name is Duncan, and on being informed that his wife was still alive, he con fessed that he had battered her head, and the police have found stone covered with blood and hair near the spot where the woman had lain. Duncan on being taken before magistrate, made no explanation of the affair, and was remanded It is stated that his family in Washington oc- cupy good social position. Duncan, who is P years old, is short, slight and fair haired, and wears spsctacles. He is noted iinguiSt, It is stated that he met his wife in Stockholm, and that her father is a cigar manufacturer at Abo, in Finland. Mrs. Duncan is still uncon- scious, and there is only the smallest hope of her recovery. Duncan's motive for the crime has not been explained

An old Woman Who Never Drank Ma
 ture's Fluid.
 The remains of Mrs. Katie Stuff, the oldest resident of Greencastle, Pa., were recently consigned to their last resting place. Mrs. Stuff, called Aunt Katie," was almost ninety-eight years of age, and up to within few days of that event had not tasted water since she was little girl. Aunt Katie insisted that water wasn't healthful, and drank tea and coffee only.
 Fishing used to be one of her passions, says the Chicago News. Getting up early in the morning in summer time, she would fill the pocket of her dress with grasshoppers, pin it to keep them secure and then, rod in hand, she would repair to the banks of the Conocoheague creek, often putting the local fishermen to the blush by her skill. For the last ten years it was a source of great pride to her to visit the harvest field each summer and bind a sheaf of grain, which was always faithfully recorded by the local press, affording her the highest qualification. Last summer, however, old age triumphed, and Aunt Katie. to her great distress, was com pelled to break the record for the first time.
 ''I will never die," she used to assert, proudly. ''I will just dry up and blow away. See if l don't" And she almost kept her word. At the time of her death it would not have taken much of gale to wait her away on its pinionS

Navy Officials Puzzled.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-No news of the Itata or the Charlestown has been re- ceived at the Navy Department.
 Not the least credence is placed in the rumors about the engagement between the vessels.
 It is apparent that the Navy Depart ment officials are somewhat puzzled to account for the lack of news from the vessels and are obliged to content them selves with the theory that the Charles ton is not pursuing a straight course, but is steaming easily two and fro, overhaul ing and examining merchant steamers and looking around the islands off the up per Mexican coast.
