worthy objects 10 view. Noblemen and
patriots who formed and nurtnred il in
Sicily in the stormy days Of the first
quarter Of this century, have given way
to robbers and murderers, and the insti-
tuition that was designed for the enforce
ment Of natural rights and the uprooting
OF the pretensions Of the tyrant, has de-
Perforated into q band Of criminals who
know no law but the dictation Of chiefs
whose general qualification and fitness

The Malta was originally political and

braced within Il many Of Sicily's noble
men, who resented the repeated encroach-
ments which were being put upon the
rights Of the citizens under the excuse Of
the divine right Of kings to have every
thing which It was possible for them to
see or desire. They had sapped the
lovely island Of its wealth and had taxed
its people beyond the limit Of passive en-
duFance. They were too few in number
and the resources Of the government too
great to enable them to battle openly
against the oppression. 50 the only thing

they would bear mos, fruit.
POLITICAL CONSPIRACY.
Som, however, the society grew 10 d.
mansions too large for its founders to con-
troll. There was fascination in the secret
meetings and conspiracies which appealed
peculiarly to the romantic and but lily
balanced moral condition Of the Sicilian.
Political conspiracy was too lofty for their
understanding or contemplation. They
formed little government Of their own,
held their own trials, selected their own
judges, drew their own juries, passed

Discovery of Natural Gas.

The first that was heard of natural gas
in the states was in the year 1916, when
it was found in Charlestown. Some six
years later, a story is told of woman
going out one dark night to draw water
at place called Fredonia, in New York
state-when she put down her lantern,
much to her CONSERVATION spring of
gas by the well took fire. In 1924, when
Lafayette passed through the same neigh
borhood, in honor of the occasion, Taylor
house, where he staid, was illuminated
with the gas laid on by pipes direct from
the earth.
The great reservoirs of natural gas
were first tapped in the process of boring
artesian wells. AS soon as one of the
drills reached a certain depth the whole
apparatus was blown high up into the
air, and the gas escaped by the vent with
roar that could be heard from afar.
One American gentleman boring for
water met with this experience, and, hav-
ing no other use for the gas, stuck tall
pipe into the hole, applied light to the
top, when the flame shot upward, and
thus created beacon fire which illumi-
mated the country round for miles. Years
afterward this light was still burning,
and probably may be scent to this day.

Why Soldiers Break Ranks,

There are very few bridges in the
world over which troops are allowed to
march in regular step. In general, when
coming to a bridge, particularly sus-
pension bridge, the drums or bands are
stopped, the array is broken and the sol
diers pass over without keeping step, or
rather taking pains not to keep step.
The reason is found in the fact that
very slight initial vibration, if continued,
is impaired to the whole structure, and
in short time becomes so strong down
ward strain at every recurrence as speed
lily to endanger the safety of the strong
est bridge.
The same principle is illustrated in
some houses, which can be made to
tremble from roof to foundation by per-
sistently and regularly pressing with the
foot on loose board in one of the floors.
A similar curious circumstance is seen
in the case of certain churches in which
it is dangerous to play the heavy pedal
pipes of q grand organ, for the reason
that the vibration becomes so great as to
shatter the panes of glass in the win
dows, and even to imperil the safety Of
the roof.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat

A Large Price for a Flower.

saw new variety of plant for parlor
decoration in florists window the other
day, the price being marked at the mod
est figure of $i00. In the passion for this
sort of display, which is now rampant
here in Boston, am told that the money
expended is out of all proportion to the
intrinsic value or beauty of the product,
some rare specimens being sought for in
preference to one in which the attrac-
tions of form and color are conspicuous.
This sort of interest recalls the Dutch
tulip mania, and though there is perhaps
no danger that our Yankee flower fan
ciers will lose their heads, as the old
Hollanders did, yet it is worth remem-
bering that the latter were hard headed,
matter of fact people, and it is such, by
the way, who are apt to be most unset
tied by gust of excitement Boston

Making salad Dressing between Courses.

Making salad Dressing Between Courses.
The pretty fashion of making the salad
dressing on the table obtains among fash
ionable people at small informal dinners.
Before the preceding course has been re-
moved the servant brings the hostess
shallow silver bowl, into which are broken
the yolks of two eggs. Before her are
also placed the oil decanter, two tiny sill
yer pepper boxes holding white and cay
enne pepper, a small mustard pot with
the unmixed mordant, and bit of lemon
on a plate OF second miniature decan-
ter of tarragon vinegar, as the taste of
the hostess prefers.
Then, while the plates are being
changed. the mayonnaise is concocted.
Into the unbeaten yolks are carefully
measured first saltspoon of salt and an
other of dry mustard, good pinch of
cayenne and better one of white pep
per, then with silver fork the stirring
process begins. Drop by drop the amber
oil does its work till, thick, golden and
velvety, the mayonnaise is ready for the
touch of acid from lemon or vinegar, and
afterward to be sent around the table as
the salad is served. 1t is graceful Of
fee for deft fingers. Her Point of View

james Russen lowers birthday.

IF | had been asked few weeks ago to
name the two most interesting men in
America, I should have answered with
out hesitation, "Mr. Lowell and Gen.
Sherman''-or "Gen. Sherman and Mr..
Lowell, /" for the order of the names would
have mattered little. The generals
strong yet childlike nature, his varied
and well remembered experience, his ex-
tensive reading, and his readiness and
skill in expressing himself on a thousand
topics, made him fascinating talker,
whether he were addressing two or
twenty people.
On the other hand, Mr.. I.owell's poetic
imagination and keen yet kindly wit, his
intimate acquaintance with the best
thoughts of the best minds of all time,
his familiarity with the history of the
past and his personal connection with
the historic happenings of his own day
combine to make him one of the half
dozen living men whom it were best
worth while to know. Like Gen. Sherman
and George Washington, Mr.. Lowell was
a February child, and was 72 years old
on Washington's birthday. Gen. Sher-
man reached his seventy first birthday
on Feb. s, and died on the 14th.-Critic

Lack Of Men who Dance.

The complaint is made that the dane
ing men in society are scarcely beyond
the age of knickerbockers, and call has
gone out for more men of years, weight
and discretion who are willing to make
themselves generally useful at the small
dances of society. There has never been
a year in the history of New York when
balls occurred in private houses so fire.
quently as this season. Two or three
dances night have been the rule. AS
majority of the men in society are also
in business, it is difficult to see how they
can be expected to sit up until A o'clock
in the morning every night in the week
and still go to their offices at the accus-
toned time. Apparently there is an
other long felt want in society which the
conditions of New York life make it
impossible for men to fulfill.-New York

FACE TO FACE WITH DEATH.
A Young Society Woman's Remarkable
Experience Before n Mirror.

Young Society Woman's Remarkable
Experience Before "a Mirror.
"At the ball last night" said man
talking to o companion at his club din
ner, ga girl with whom sat out one of
the dances told me of a rather curious
experience she had earlier in the evening.
She said she was in the hands of her
maid for the ball, was seated before her
dressing table having her hair done; the
room was warm and flooded with light;
her ball gown was in her sight. She
was reading during the process some
light society novel, and, as she rather
shamefacedly confessed, munching bon
bons between times
"All at once she grew tired of candies
and fiction, and, putting both aside, sat
looking in the glass while the maid
worked. She was thinking of the ball
and various anticipations she had con-
cerning it, when, suddenly, without
warning, and from no apparent cause,
she found herself face to face with her
own death
"She put it very graphically: 1T was
personal death l was struggling with
she said, mot the abstract death that we
read of in the newspapers nor the future
ng-to-be-postponed mortality which we
more or less indifferently accept as one
common destiny. 1t was the actual end
of my life, the fms of everything for
me, and the going out from my home
and friends to the darkness and horror
of the unknown beyond. What religi-
GUS faith had forsook me completely
"I trembled and a cold dampness
gathered on my forehead, choked and
started to my feet. My maid, alarmed,
asked if were ill. l said yes, and l
was-ill with dread, but nothing more,
for was conscious of feeling perfectly
well. She went to fetch glass of water,
and before she returned the vision, or
whatever it was, had gone as quickly as
it had come. The hairdressing was re-
sumed, and could detect no physical
results of the visitation, which was terri
bly, real and awful while it lasted, and
shall not soon forget it,
''I reminded her of some verses of
Aldrich on similar subject, where,
while the carriage waits at the door for
milady's forgotten fan, the husband or
lover is confronted in the same dismal
way, but she had never seen or heard of
them. Her experience was evidently
very genuine and had made consider
able impression upon her. New York

Wanted to Complete His Trade.

Charles Drum, 80 years of age, who
pleaded guilty to snatching purse from
a lady on jackson street, got three years
and a half in the penitentiary. The
judge was about to sentence him. to the
reformatory when Drum spoke up and
informed the court that he had once be-
fore been convicted, the first time for
burglary. Drums counsel let the cat
out of the bag by saying that his client
preferred Saltwater to st. Cloud be-
cause he desired to complete his trade,
that of tinsnith. The court did not
appear to be much swayed by the de-
fendant's preferences, and made it state
prison on his admission of former con-
viction.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.
