TRIED SUICIDE FOR LOVE.
And For Love Of One Of Her Own Sex al
That.

Nnu fOf Love OF Ono w HcI OH1 opA
That
Gentlemen have before now attempted
10 put an end TO miserable existence
because ladies' whom they desired to
wed had the wretchedly bad taste to
marry somebody else. and ladies have
been known 10 return the compliment
In the case Of gentlemen. says the Lon
don Telegraph. But for one lady TO
contemplate suicide beci use another fe-
male is engaged TO be married, and TO Il
total stranger. is something of Il new
departure. The strange case of Leo
cadie Rhone. young Belgian woman
and Miss Parkinson. which came before
Sir John Bridge at Bow street police
court. seems TO show that there is still
some romance left in the world. Here
are two maidens who sOlemnly vowed
to each other that II either were to be
come engaged the other would at once
kill herself. The arrangement appears
q tritle one-sded. and moreover, is faulty
because the punishment falls on the i'll
nocent party.
The remarkable part about il is that
the Belgian damsel-whO at the age of
twenty-nine ought TO have got rid of
much of the sentimentality Of youth
really took the VOW seriously, and on
hearing of Miss Parkinson's engagement
journeyed In hot haste from Brussels
with a loaded revolver7in order to carry
out the full design on her own life. Why
she troubled to come over to England
AT all is not apparent. A few words OF
kindly advice from the magistrate in
duced the too eXcitable Belgium to re-
turn to her native shores, and also prom
ises not to do herself anv harm. Eyi
IDENTIFY hcr whole grievance was that In
accordance with her vow she had neg
lected several good offers of marriage
She had now better initiate her English
friend md neglect them no longer. She
will find that there is good deal of
romance to be got out of even so COM
an eIpedieut as marriage.

ITALY AND HER RESOURCES.
Discussed by Ex.Premler Crispiin an American
Magazine Article.

Italy Is continually progressing, both
morally and economically, says ex-Minis-
ter Crispl in the North American Re
view. Its wealth Is ON the increase;
they deceive or wish to deceive them
selves, who say that our wealth ~ eX-
hauyted. Ii sutiices to consult our sta
tistics of today and TO compare them
with those Of 1861 aud 1864 to under
stand the progress made since then. l
stated that we had 25Bl kilOmeters of
railways in 1851; to-day we have 10000
hlOmcters. Our steamers ON the seas
numbered hardly 80, with capacity Of
5000 tons, when the new kingdom
began It's existence. there are now 300 of
them, with capacity of 1871 900 tons.
The same progress is seen In our inter
national commerce, which, in 1861, had
value Of 1,lOB.OOO,OOO lin Imports
and cxpOrtsl and has Increased to-day
10 the value OF two milliNrls. The pro
duction of cerenls rose from II. 100000
hectOlitrps in 1862 to gi,245,OO in 1890;
that Of wine-uuc of ltuly's special cx-
ports amounted In 1867 To 24,OO3 900
hectolitres and reached 30, 100000 hec-
tuljtrcs In 1880. As TO mechanical in
dustrirs Italy was tributary TO foreign
countries. She progressed slowly aud
while ten years ago she produced nnnu-
ally to the value of f.SOOOO,OOO to-day
she produces f.lOOOOO,OOO. The textile
industries We're not less fortunate. We
produced so little that our fabrics did
not suffice for domestic consumption.
We now begin to export to foreign mar
kets, and the export of $4,000 kilO-
grams IN 1887 has increased to 10000
Kilograms in 1891, Wages have nd
vunced Ia proportion to increased produc-
ton
