A Yankee carpenter tells story that

they were married they rented apart
1nents in block, the rear of which
overlooked one of the rivers, and among
the wife's earliest culinary efforts was
a batch of bread. The young husband
sampled his wife's contribution to the
world stock of the staff of life" and
arising from the table, playfully re-
marked: MY dear. cast Your bread
upon the waters" The wife took Of
Tense at the injunction, and, as the
husband left the house, she flung the
remaining loaf out of the window into
the river. 1t struck passing boat,
crashing through the bottom and sink

next she knew, the boatman, dripping
wet, made tour of the block, bent on
discovering who dumped the bod Of

THE QUEEN OF BEGGARS.
An italian Woman Who Ran an Orphan
Asylum to Profit.


Sister Giuseppina, founder Of the
order of Maria SantissNna della Con-
solata, and its present head, was re-
Gently arrested in Milan for persistent
swindhng. She might truly be called
queen of Italian beggars. Her correct
name is Giuseppina Maria Floresta.
She was born in Turin forty-four years
ago, and at the age of sixteen was
beautiful woman already well known
by the men about town. She led
wild life in Turin until her twenty
sfth year, and then went to other
Italian cities in which she continued
her questionable career until dissipa-
ton had obliterated her beauty.
She returned unrecognized TO Turin
at the age OF thirty-seven, and, in the
garb of sister, began the work of
founding the order Of Maria Santissima
della Consolata, whose special mission
she described as the care Of poor or
phans. Although unsupported by the
clergy. she obtained large sums Of
money from philanthropists, bought
an old barracks and filed it with or
phans- She then turned the institu-
ton into begging enterprise. Every
day, hot or cold, wet or dry, she com
PEELED all the orphans TO tramp the
streets and beg for money. This money
she deposited to her own credit IN the
bank, reserving hardly dollar day
for the food and clothes Of the orphans.
The children were starved and beaten

died after a few months IN the institu-
ton. The places Of the dead ones
were filed al once. however, b. Sister
Giuseppina and the four accomplices
whom she had dressed IN sisters garb
and impressed into her service
At the end OF the second year Sister
Giuseppina had saved ten thousand
dollars from the proceeds Of the chill

Turin institution 10 the supervision Of

she established z second institution for
begging. By the beginning OF 1891
She had sixty sisters and number OF
orphans IN her service. had saved q
little fortune estimated Al between
forty aud fifty Thousand dollars. and
was receiving an annual income which
IN Italy was large enough 70 be called
princely. She became nbitious 20 be

this ambition was due the discover Of

Bruce, member of the legislature and
one of the cattle kings of the south
west. to q reporter for the San Fran
cisco Examiner There are peccaries
that are very savage in the high Rincon
and Chiricahua mountains. | have
heard it said that they have hoofs like
mules, bat | never saw any OF that
kind. They are as big as a six-months'-
old shoat, have sharp back and long
hair and emit a musk something like
skunk. They are SO savage they will
attack you whether you attack them
or not. Every once in awhile some of
the boys get caught in the trees by
these peccarieS. They have to take to
the trees or get torn TO pieces.
Il know a fellow in the Rincon
mountains who was kept up for several
hours. There was a large band of
psccaries under the trees. The tops of
the Rincon mountains are covered with
live oak, or what they call post oak,
and the peccaries feed on the acorns.
They are simply wild hog. | am
confident our domestic hog is de-
scended from them. Speaking of the
peccarieS throwing musk and the dan
gers from their teeth reminds me Of
the spotted black and white skunks,
whose bite down there is poisonous.
The sl1unks have rabies, and a bite
from them at such times is fatal. They
make for man as quick as they see
him. and he has to be very lively if he
gets out of the way. Two vaqueros,

The Soldier Cap.

Old United States army regulations
say that the soldiers cap should be
worn jauntily, with little slant over
the right eye. The origin Of that Gus
tom may have been in the attempt TO
shade the eye while aiming, but it is
no longer observed, and, indeed, most
officers would reproye a soldier who
tipped his cap or helmet conspicuously
on one side. The American soldier
offers a marked contrast in that re-
spect to the English soldier or the
Canadian militiaman, for they wear
little pork pie" hats that are tipped
so far on one side that they would fall
off at the slightest motion were it not
for Z strap beneath the chin.

THE COWBOY AS HE is.
5tore Stern and Commonplace Reality
Than Poetry in His Life.

hdh TotlEy IN MS
The life of the cowboy" of the great
west is but little known, says the Rich
Inond Dispatch. Somehow newspapers,
and especially the writer's of dime
novels, have thrown a sort of romance
about the cowboy that makes his life
seem charming, but there is no charm
about it. As rule there are no more
handwriting, simple and unassuming
men than the cowboys. They have
been maligned and slandered as much
as any other men, because all the depre-
datiOns committed on the frontier are
attributed TO the cowboys. 1t is not
uncommon for him when he enters q
town, after spending weeks and per-
haps months in the great solitude of
the plains, to get little more whisky
than is good for him and become a
little frolicsOne and reckless. He has
careless way of handling a six-shoot-
er that makes a tenderfoot the least
bit nervous. But the cowboy drunk
and the cowboy sober are two different
persons. Drunk, he is like all other
drunken men-inSane for the time be-
ing and really not accountable for
what he does; sober, he is usually
quiet and as genteel as he can be. Liv-
ing life of danger makes him fear
less, and DO not known of real cow
boy who viii not at any time risk his
life for friend.
If he is treated cordially by strangers
he returns the compliment, but woe to
the unhappy tenderfoot who attempts
to put on airs when the cowboy is
around. He has been known to make
the plug hat, or, as the cowboys term
them, ''the hard-knocker hat" of
dude tire target of his six-shooter. and
ne seems to delight in expectorating
tobacco juice on pair of freshly
blackened boots.
In his wild western life his home is
Sn the saddle. He frequently passes
weeks without seeing d house or hav-
ing a tent or shelter of any kind.
Where does he sleep? you viii ask. On
the ground, his saddle for a pillow and
his ''slicller" his only covering.
If it rains he usually sleeps on his
pony, sitting upright. He has studied
the habits of the cattle until he knows
them. He has to take his turn when
driving in for the roundup to ride the
circuit to keep guard during the night.
They guard by reliefs. The cattle are
punched or got together, and the
boys, save those on duty. sleep through
the night. Those on duty must keep
continually riding around the herd, for
a young COW or steer will occasionally
take it into its head to steal away The
darker the night the greater must be
