Bri1andage In Hail.

To read of brigandage in Italy makes
one doubt if this can be the Nineteenth
century. Here is country, one of the
Oldest seats of European civilization,
where the first requisite of stable gov
ernment. security of life and property,
is wanting. The country groans under
the financial burden of an army and
navy big enough for vast empire, and
yet the troops appear to be 50 busy look
ing for an invader on the northern from
tier that they cannot suppress the rob
bers and murders Of the interior. The

Women once Seekers.

The women who apply for places are
very hard to get rid of. When informed
that there is no vacancy they usually
say, 1.-THE secretary can always make
one more place." Many of them make
most humble and pathetic appeals, say,
ing, "For PHYS sake, let me scrub the
floors or do anything by which / may
earn my bread" Yet these same indi-
yiduals, after securing situations and
occupying them for two or three days,
are pretty sure to demand three things
promotion, leave of absence and light
er work. Women can never be con-
yinced that there is any sincerity in the
civil service law. They almost always
think that they can get around it and
secure places in the classified service
through influence. = Washington Cor.

The Road to Yesterday.
Ah0 &soo0 ~
some wise man who has journeyed

Will some wise man who has journeyed
Over land and over sea
To the coun tries where the rainbow
And the glorious sunsets be,
Kindly tell little stranger
Who has oddly lost her way,
Where's the road that she must travel
To return to Yesterday?
For, you see, she's unfamiliar
With To-day. and cannot read
What its strange, mysterious sign-posts
Tell OF ways and where they lead,
And her heart upbraids her sorely
Though she did not mean to stay
When she fell asleep last evening
And abandoned Yesterday.
For she left deal neglected
That she really should have done;
And he tears she's lost some favors
That she fairly might have won.
So she'd like to turn her backward
To retrieve them If she may
Will not some one kindly tell her
Where's the road to Yesterday
