The Witty RetOrt of an italian Lady of
Quality.
The prejudices in favor of nobility
are very strong in Italy, and though
family connections are priced so high
~ there, no man seems ashamed if he
has no family to boast. In ''Glimpses
of italian Society" the author says
that she was astonished to hear a we'll
bred clergyman say gravely to friend,
also a man eminent for talents and
fortune:
''Yes, there is a grand invitation at
such a place tonight, but don't go
because am not gentleman; and the
master desired l would let you know
that it was for no other reason that
you had not card, too, my good
friend, for it is an invitation for none
but people of fashion, you see''
At all this no one stares, no one
laughs; and it is accepted as the proper
thing.
A woman of quality, near whom 1
sat at the fine ball Bragadin made in
honor of the season, inquired how I
had passed the morning. I named

particularly that which they esteem
beyond the rest as favorite work of
Palladio, and called the Redentore.
You do very right" said she, Ito
look at our churches, as you have none
in England, know; but, then, you
have SO many other fine things, such
charming steel buttons, for example"

meant nc offense.

The Outlook.
From tho Kansss GUY Journal, lrcpl.

From the KansaS City Journal, Ircp1.
The Journal is not q growler, and al
ways tries to make the best out of a
condition. The destruction of silver as
a money metal In the future by congress
we consider the most serious blow
struck at the general prosperity of the
people in the history of this govern
ment. But the new conditions must be
made the most of while they last. 1t
will not kill the nation. but It will ben
cit only the money lender. AS the
man said when his wife died: THAT
settles the matter for the present."
The repeal settles the conditions of
business for the present, and We must
all make the best OF it. The brutal re-
joicings OF the gold press over the de-
struction of the prosperity of one.half
of the geographical republic provokes
the disgust and indignation Of all right
feeling men. But even they will suffer
with the rest.
We are on the eve of radical and far
reaching changes In the movements
Of popular opinion, and wise people
will adjust their bearings TO meet the
coming conditions. No party slogan
can deceive the people again. The day
OF national platforms made by men
who break such pledges has PASSED. No
parity" dodge, no repeal" cry can
ever be worked as a dicer's game again.
But in the meantime we must make
the best of what is offered. Congress.
when il meets in a mouth from now.
will be deinged with demagogue Silver
bills, but no man who has betrayed one
trust will be allowed to prove traitor
to another. The stump speech in the
tail of the silver repeal bill of voorhees,
is an insult to all honest men. and when
congress passes 1t and Cleveland signs
1t, the conscious lie starss them In the |
face. But letus all do the best we can
to mitigate the disaster.

OUR FROZEN ANCESTORS.

Primeval Man May Yet Be Discovered
CONCEALED in q Glacier.
WAS the primeval man arboreal,
and did he live upon fruit?' 1t has
been suggested that he was driven
from these mild ways by the cold of
that unpleasant time when glaciers
covered the earth, answers the Gentle
mans Magazine. The trees died and
the fruits persisted, and the ancestor,
climbing down, began with rats and
mice, and finished with cannibalism,
to avoid perishing likewise. Also, he
invented fire. Also, the cold made
him use language. But this is
rather an unsubstantial specula ton,
since Prof, Prestwitch, for in
stance, believes that there were men
before the glaciers. At any rate, he
tells us that at Sevenoaks, in the very
old pre-glacial plateau drift" above
the downs, he has found instruments
of flint.
1t is not impossible that those beetle
proved persons, the poleolithic men,
the remote men who Clipped out
weapons of unpublished stone and knew
the uses of neither cattle, clay nor
corn, were less human looking than
their skeletons would lead us to fancy.
There is a hint in one rude scratch ing
on bone that they were thickly hairy.
There is remote chance yet--at least
| it is a pleasant fancy to entertain-that
we with our own eyes may yet see this
hairy ancestor of ours in the flesh.
Every one has heard of the entire NAM
moth, skin and flesh complete, frozen
up inside of a Siberian river and endur-
ing to our days. The flesh was so fresh
that the dogs fell upon it and ate it
without i'll results.
Now, these pre-glacial men of Prof.
Prestwitch must have been contempt
raries with those mammoths and they
may have ventured, too, since they
hunted the mammoth, into high Iati-
tades. The discovery of refrigerated
ancestor is by no means impossible.
1t is necessary for anyone who has
reSd ''The Frozen Pirate" to curb his
magma ton here. In all humanity we
must hope the ancestors, when thawed,
will be dead.
Fancy the shock of Rip Van Wrinkle
intensified by ten thousand genera
tions. If he is dead he must, of course,
be promptly stuffed by all the best tax
idermists in council, and placed in a
commanding position in the museum
In Cromwell road, relic and true Dor
trait combined.

How They relegraph In rer.l..

Telegraphic communication in Per
STA is said to work fairly well in dry
weather, but in times of rain and damp
it is unfortunately far otherwise.
This arises from the fact that the insu-
1ators are not fixed to poles of wood or
iron as with us, but are driven into
trees that have branches growing
round the hooks and touch the wire,
thus intercepting the current. When
a large tree is not available small
one is resorted to, which often breaks,
or the shaking of the slender tree by
the wind dislodges the insulator or
hook ON which it is fixed, and the wire
trails on the ground. 1t is no uncon-
mon thing for the wires to be seen
