LAZZARONi IN NAPLES.
They Have One Occupation, and That I.
Making Love.

Making Love.
A century ago there were thirty
thousand "lazzaroni' in Naples.
Neither disease nor want has diminished
their number. Their children die at
fearful rate, but there are many hos
pitfalls for the Survivors, and neither
board nor lodging costs them much,
when, at a mature age, they are
turned loose into the world to become
''lazzaroni' in their turn, like their I'M
known fathers and mothers. What is
''lazzarone?" it may be asked. Accord
ing to Colletta, who is quoted in the
lives how he can without working. If
he puts hand to honest labor he is no
longer a "lazzsrone." 1t may be
doubted whether the 'slazzarone" will
ever become extinct. The "resanita-
ton" scheme will not GUST him nor
make him change his habits. He is
more than half what his climate makes
him.
A Neapolitan has said that love is the
only occupation of the unoccupied. If
this be really so imagine the condition
of Naples! AS far as observation goes,
the "laZzaroni," as class, seem to con-
slider the effort of extraneous courtship
somewhat too strong for them. They
will throw sparks in plenty into the in
fammable hearts of their fair acquaint-
ances, but it will be rather from the
sheer love of deviltry begotten Of idle
ness than because they are in the tolls
of a consuming affection. Friendship
nothing more?" whispers a hand
some brown giant into the ear of a
maid as brown as himself. whom for
half an hour he has been plying with
what seem to be insidious advances,
and whose dark eyes have begun to
CLEAN with passion. If the girl be a
good girl, she answers: Certainly
nothing more, and the chat continues
Otherwise, frown and a pout of the
full lips tell the man that he may, if he
dare run the risk, go a step further.
Truth to say, woman is the prime cause
of very many of the deaths by the
knife. Although human nature is in
few cities more human and less divine
than in Naples, the verdict which &C
quits the man who avenges with the
dagger the wrong done to his wife or
sister, or gives him but trihing SEN
tence, is held to be very just.

care of themselves, but they have never
attempted to leave, though they ramble
about the town unreStrained.
The supposition usually prevails that
wild geese build their nests in the long
grass and bushes fringing the isolated
streams and lakes, where they usually
congregate to rear their young. Such,
however, iSnot the case, for their nests
are often found in the tops of trees.
Quite a resort for wild geese is found at
the head waters of the Yama river, and
boat springs found nest in the top of
a cottonwood tree.
The goose was sitting on the nest,
and the two boys shot her off and then
climbed up to inspect the nest. 1t
contained quite number of eggs, and
the next thing discussed was how to
get them to the ground First they
tried dropping them, the boy on the
ground holding his hat, but after break
ing two that plan was abandoned, and
then the boy up in the tree thought of
a novel plan that worked to perfection.
He took off his boots and socks, and,
placing the latter inside his boots to
form soft lining, carefully placed the
eggs within, then fastened his boots to
the waistband of his trousers by loosen
ing his suspenders upon either side and
passing the ends through the finger
straps of the boots and again buttoning
them to the waistband. Thus ar
ranged he successfully descended the
tree.
The eggs, it seems, are next to in
destructible, and will stand plenty of
rough usage. In the present case the
boys were on horseback, and rode
around all the afternoon with the eggs
strapped in coat or saddle. They
were placed that night in pan until
the morning following and then it oc-
Cured to one of the boys to place them
under a hen, which was done. Seven
of the eggs Matched, and the goslings
grew to be full grown geese. They
would go to the river every day and re-
turn to the accustomed roost every
night, regularly, and wait around for
their breakfast before going to the
river again in the morning.

SIN, the year 1885," Tonty says in his

Emanded." This was the first fort here
of which we have any account, writes
sEdward'Gay Mason, in the New England
Magazine for April, and was probably a
stockade structure constructed By Du-
rantaye in 1856. Tonty also marched
from the Illinois with sixteen French
men and two hundred Indians to take
part in this campaign, and according to
one account he came by the way of Chi
cago and mustered some recruits there,
perhaps from the garrison of the fort.
lHe led his party across the country to
Detroit, where he met Durantaye and
two other famous pioneers, La Foret and

They had a large body of French and
indians from the upper lakes. and the
united force pushed on to Niagara
and joined the governor generals army
at the rendezvous on the southern
shore of Lake Ontario, near the Seneca
country. Two thousand five hundred
men marched through the wilderness
toward the great town of the Senecas,
with Durantaye, Tonty and Lhut and
their couriers de bois in the van. In
the narrow defile the advance, sepa-
rated from the main body, came upon
an ambush of three hundred Indian
warriors. who closed upon their rear
with yells of triumph, thinking this de-
tachment to be the whole army. But
better leaders for such fray there
could not be than these three intrepid
Frenchmen, who held their wood
rangers steadily to their work. until
suddenly through the forest came the
main body, headed by four companies
of the fighting Carignan regiment, and
the Senecas suddenly abandoned the

The Pansy Fable.

A pretty fable of the pansy is current
among children. The flower has Eve
petals and five sepals- In most pansies,
especially of the earlier and less highly
developed varieties, two of the petals
are plain in color and three are CAV.
The two plain petals have a single
sepal each, and the third. which is the
largest of all. has two sepals. The fable
is that the pansy represents a family,
consisting of husband, wife and four
daughters, two of the latter being STEP
children of the wife. The plain petals
are the stepchildren. with only one
chair; the two small gay petals are the
daughters, with chair each, and the
large gay petal is the wife, with two
chairs, To find the father one must
strip away the petals until the stamens
and pistils are bare. They have fam
ciful resemblance to an old man with a
flannel wrap around his neck, his
shoulders appraised and his feet in a
bsthtub. The story is probably OF
French origin. because the French call
the pansy the stepmother.

QUEER THEATERs IN MEXICO.

cents for an orchestra seat. Should
they remain in their seats after the first
act, the treasurers go round and collect
the price for the succeeding act, so that
in case of bad performance they need
not consider themselves imposed upon
to any great extent. Of course many
leave after each act, returning another
evening for different act. You would

swered the man, and as the woman did
not object, the ceremony proceeded,
and the infant was duly christened Jo-

did not stay to the rest of the service,
as the newly-christened had powerful
lungs and knew how to use them.
But the next day they returned and
brought some of their friends with
them.

the parson vowed that hereafter the
good woman should assist him in the
