Everybody Trying to Live as II the Eas,
River Were the Mediterranean.

Everybody Trying to Live as II the East
River Were the Mediterranean.
Little Italy Is making hay while the
sun shines, because the swarthy southern
colonists know that presently days must
come when the sun will no longer shine.
He that visits Little Italy and looks upon
1t with unsympathetic eye will see only
a few tall tenements Of the familiar type,
a few small frame houses scarcely higher
than the fences that separate their yards
and succession of great. reddish brown
gasOmeters.
But there IRE other things besides in
Little Italy. First Of all, there is color.
Between One Hundred and Ninth and
One Hundred and Twelfth streets, First
avenue runs near the East river, so that
the inhabitants always have glimpse
OF restless blue waters Overarched with
restful blue skies. Then, no resident of
this region is content with garments of
one hue The modistes Of Little Italy
are not ashamed to produce bonnet
with four out Of the seven prismatic
tints, and as for kerchiefs, they are of
every imaginable hue. The very infants
in arms are clad in red. green and blue
Even the vegetables seem to be chosen
with an eye to color. There are the red
dest Of red peppers, the gayest Of red
and green tomatoes and the most vivid
Of melons.
Everybody In Little Italy tries to live
as If the climate of New York were that
Of the Mediterranean shore. That Is the
key to Italian life In this city. Tene-
ment houses are not to the Italians the
dreadful human pigeon holes that they
seem to persons Of other nationalities,
because the Italians pass very little time
within doors, The sidewalk is the com.
mon reception room for the whole neigh
borhood. Old women knit, young folks
make love and babies are sucked on the
sidewalk. When the noon meal has been
eaten workingmen while away what is
left Of their incoming at cards in the open
air. The banker sits in front Of his door.
The baker works with doors and win
dows wide open and dries his tempting
dainties on the sunny window sill.
Thick necked, dark skinned little Pepita,
who will be a mother at fifteen, a grand
mother at thirty and a wrinkled crone
at forty, plaits her black locks in the
sunshine, and wonders how soon Pietro,
playing marbles over the way, will be
old enough to think her moro interesting
than top or glass alley.
Everybody wears earrings, from the
old woman, whose cheap fnery seems a
part of herself, to the child Of two,
whose neck is SO short that the dangling
jewels actually touch its shoulders
There Is everywhere the soft touch of the
south 1t takes away from the tene
ment houses little of their uyliness; it
half hides the squalor of hut and hovel; |
it closes ones eyes to the filth. Every
body loves to bask In the sunshine
Even the willful climate of New York |
bends to the soft persuasion Of these
southern ways, and one is glad that
Lombardy poplar on Wards island
waves in full sight a sweet encourage
ment to the Italian imagination.-New

An Interesting Calculation.

An uptown man, having nothing else
to do, thought he would try an expert
ment, so he turned the hands of clock
In his room the full twenty-four hours of
0 day, and found it took, with moderate
movement, one minute of time to accom-
plish that task. He then made calcu-
lation of how long it would take him to
turn off the full measure of mans life,
which, according to the Scriptures, Is
"three score years and ten," and found
that it would take seventeen and one
half days to turn the hands Of the clock
10 represent seventy years.-Philadel-
phia Record.

Fired.

A titled Partisan, after wasting much
time in the Latin quarter, finally man
aged, by hook or crook, to become en-
rolled as pupil Of Gerome. Day after
day the nobleman came, took his place
before the model and sketched as best
he could. Finally Gerome paused before
the new pupil one day and said, You
come here in the morning; what do you
do in the afternoons" "Oh," said the
nobleman, II ride in the Bots. see a few
of my friends, and then dress for din

don't you think you'd better do the

FOR LIGHT.

Thou, God. who knowest all my memories
The dreadful days of torture and Of tears.
The shame. the agony Of those old years.
The supplicating sobs on Bonded knees,
The drinking of the cup whose bitter lees
Were poison-nauseous and like fame that
sears
Thou plying God Of all the infinite spheres.
OF ever mercifui and just degrees:
Now help me- that know what path be right;
Now comfort me If right seem cruel wrong,
Though with bruised heart turn to face the
night,
Or, choosing honor. life seems long, 30 longi

Uphold me In thy darkness-gfve me light.

Farmers Alliance in the field, with a
membership of $4,000, about eighty
five per cent. being Republicans. SEN
ator Sherman's seat is involved as well
as the Governorship. AS TO the Sena-
tOrship, the recent meeting Of the State
Alliance at Gallon demonstrated great
hostility to the reelection of Sherman,
and pretty much on the same ground
that prompted the Kansas farmers to
oppose ingalls,. The Alliance regards
Mr.. Sherman as an obstacle to legisla-
ton in their interest, and that the farm
he cuitivates is located in Wall street
Foraker may be a candidate against
him. AS to the Governorship, it is
the Republican programme to nomi-
nate Major Mckinley, but he has the
active hostility of the Foraker follow
ing. Governor Campbell's rc-nomi-
nation is regarded as certain if he de-
slres II, but there IS no doubt he Will
have bitter opposition, even to the
extent of knitting him at the polls,
from the Cincinnati politicians, In
this view he may decline to make an
other race at this time, but he is man
of wonderful luck in politics, and those
who believe i'll political dest;a
example of it in him. The canvass
will be an interesting one, with the
OF the Alliance in the field,
and the enmities and divisions visible
in the Republican ranks and to some
extent also on the Democratic side.

The Electrician tells of new appli-
cation of the electric current in glass
factories. When a sheet of window
glass is made it is blown into a cylin-
drical shape in the first instance; and
the cylinder, before being cut down
longitudinally, and allowed to unbend
on fiat surface so as to form the
sheet, has its ends cut of. This was
formerly done by wrapping around
the part to be cut piece of white-hot
glass fresh from the melting-pot. BY
the new plan the separation is made
far more neatly by placing round the
glass thin wire, and afterwards
causing an electric current to traverse
that wire. The metal becomes red
hot, is removed, and a drop of cold
water applied TO the heated surface,
with the result that cracks all round
where the wire has touched it. A
ready plan for cutting Off the bottom
of bottles has long been in vogue,
which consists in tying round the part
where the separation is to be made a
piece of string soaked in spirit. This
10 afterwards ignited and a drip If
water applied, as in the case just de-
scribed.

CLovyS-RT sT.-Of this disease,
which differs from two other diseases
of the red and white clover of minor
importance, it is said that it has not
been long known in America, but has
prevailed to such an extent during the
several wet, cool seasons preceding
1890 in many sections Of the Northern
States that it must be regarded as one
liable to affect seriously under cOndi-
tons favorable to its development this
agricultural crop. In the scientific
discussion Of this parasite which is
found III a bulletin of the Botanical
Division Of the Agricultural Expert
ment Station of Cornell University,
while the description Cf its different
forms and stages will no doubt be
readily understood by botanists and
mycologists, it will not be so easily
comprehcnded by farmers. AS a sum-
mary of the matter, so far as it has
been investigated, it is assuring to be
told: First-That the early crop of
red clover is not likely to suffer injury
from the rust. Second-As the second
crop is likely to suffer greatly if the
midsummer is cool, and as clover be-
comes ynlua hln fnrtiliZap whom
plOughcd in, the fields should be care
fully watched in such seasons, and the
crop might be ploughed under to ad-
vantage. Third-Burning the clover
fields in the fall would probably have
some effecti" checking the @spr;.:.,f5l- of
the disease during the next season,
but the application of fungieides seems
impracticable.-[St. Louis Journal of
