italian women's Strong NecLs.

The Italian women who barter in the
shops and at the street carts of Mulberry
bend are expert in carrying heavy and awk-
ward loads on their heads. Sometimes
their loads are as interesting as their man
ner of carrying them. One was seen there
recently nicely balancing on her head q
large tin pan which contained two enor-
nous loayes of bread. The pan was at
least feet in diameter, yet the loaves were
so large that more than half of each pro-
jected above the rim OF the pan, making
what seemed to be top heavy and awk-
ward load, which required more than ordi-
nary skill to balance. But that was not
her only burden. On her left arm the wom-
an carried a child whicn was old enough
and big enough to walk, but was either a
cripple or sick.
At corner girl about 10 years old stop
ped thewoman, and the two had an excited
conversation about transferring the child
from the woman to the girl. With the
rebellious child in her left arm kicking yio-
lently and herself gesticulatinRas us violently
with her right arm, with the passing crowd
jostling her on all sides, it was curious to
notice that the heavy, clumsy burden on
the woman's head remained as firmly
planted as if it had been resting on the solid
earth
1t is remarkable the weight some of the
italian women can carry on their heads.
Sometimes a woman has to be helped to lift
bundle to her head, but when it is once
balanced there she stalks OH isturdily under
a burden she cannot lift with both arms

JUST A LITTLE FAT.
A Vegetarian Authority which Holds II II
Not Such q Bad Thing After All


The too rapid growth of adipose matter
Is a source OF serious anxiety to large
number of people, and the number of sys-
TENS recommended for the reduction of fat
Is infinite. An English vegetarian journal
now adds its own peculiar prescription for
the benefit of those in whom grace is being
superseded by girth. 1t holds that for per-
sons to reduce obesity by living on lean
beef and water is false in principle-it is
merely staryation-and though they will
certainly become thinner by this method,
they will at the same time reduce their
constitution.
On the other hand, simple diet of brown
bread and various kinds of fruits is claimed
to be far better means of reducing super
huous flesh than the use of any nostrum,
and 1t will moreover invigorate the body
and keep up the strength.
The diet should OF course be accompanied
with proper exercise. Walking is the most
suitable for fat people because in it the
whole body is exercised and not one set of
muscles at the expense of another. When
dishes are not unduly elaborate, people do
not usually eat too much. The general
diet should be plain and simple
Rich and elaborate cookery causes per-
sons to eat more than is good for them and
brings on undue obesity and many disor-
ders. OF course all fat people insist that
they are small eaters, but whatever they do
eat they eat more than is necessary to keep
them healthy and strong, and the extra is
packed on as fat they do not want Per-
sons should not try to reduce themselves to
emaciation they should have sufficient fat
on their bodies to round off their angles and
prevent their bones staring.
Fat people have always better time Of it
when they are taken ill, because IL they
cannot eat for day or two their system is
supported by their fat, and they will often
live through an illness that would kill
thin person. So little fat is not an alto
gether undesirable thing to have, and alto
gether people should not allow themselves
to become unwieldy or indolent from ex-
cessive fat; they should not use unnatural
methods to make themselves thin.
If any person finds himself getting too
stout, he has only to reduce his meals, to
eat less at each meal and to let himself be
always hungry when the time for eating
comes around. II he further drinks moth
ing between mealsexcept the glass of water
prescribed by many of the best modern
practitioners about an hour before break
fast and an hour before retiring for the
night, and takes regular exercise, he ought,
under normal conditions, soon to attain the
proportions at which nature has decided
that he shall enjoy perfect health.-Pitts-
burg Dispatch.

MONTENEGRO, via GALVESTON, Tex, Oct.
18.-The Brazilian minister to Uruguay,
Senior Monteiro, has suddenly left his
post.
1t is believed that he has gone to the
upper Uruguay to learn the attitude of
the squadron stationed there and report to
President Peixoto.
A dyices from Rio Janeiro state that
martial law is more rigidly enforced now
than at any time since Admiral Mcllo's
squadron declared war against President
Peixoto.
There is reason to believe, the CORE.
spondent reports, that the European dip
lomatie corps intend to carry out immedi-
ately their threat OF Intervention, and will
have forces landed from the ships in the
harbor.
From Rio Grande do Sui news has been
received of another victory by the reyolu-
tionary forces. In an engagement near
Qnarhay the Castilhistas were routed with
heavy losses. Two of the best officers of
the revolutionary army were killed.
After recruiting their forces the revolu-
tionists intend to march toward Livra-
mento, and their to join the army under
General Saraiva, which is besieging it.

One great benefit TINT the people Of this
country as whole derive from national
currency is the difficulty which counterfeit.
ers have in initiating the paper and engrav-
ing used In its manufacture. A counterfeit
bill is very seldom seen in New York city,
for example, and is never willfully present
ed In any large store. 1t is not difficult for
the newest immigrant to learn the distinct
i've marks and touchof our paper currency,
and the Chinese, who only learn the ap-
pearance Of the figures denoting the
amount of the bill, are practically infal-
hble in their Judgment OF good money.
The United States secret service is well or
ganized so far as the running down of
counterfeiters is concerned, and the GER
taipty of detection and punishment is SO
great that the regular professional Ameri-
can crook has given up the making of
counterfeit bills as a bad job.-New York

The Mohammedan paradise is a fairy
land. To enter it the believer must cross
seven bridges, at each of which he must
answer questions relating to his past life.
Having crossed the bridges, he is at the en-
trance. There are l3 doors. The first act
is to take a bath, which gives to the body
great brilliancy. This abode of delight is
built of bricks of gold and silver, held to-
gether by mortar of musk. Spring is
eternal. Four oceans soothe the senses
one of water, one of milk, one of honey, one
of wine. Waves of perfume envelop them,
SO powerful as to be noticeable 500 DAYS
march away. Lastly come the castles of
the houris-70 castles with 20 roorns, con-
tanning 10 state beds and 70 tables already
set and in this castle 1850, 10000 houris.
This to each of the elect. He himself has
20 robes of green hrocadc embroidered with
rubies and topazes.-New York Recorder.

Russian village Fro Department.

In Russian village there is not even
such an organization as we possess in this
country in the small volunteer companies.
In their stead is "a log stable with matched
roof, containing an old fashioned hand
pump and three casks mounted on wheels.
These are kept filled with water, and each
is drawn by II single horse The horses are
the property of the commune, and they are
kept tethered outside the cabin, ready for
duty at a moments notice A place is also
set apart in the hut for the muzhik who
serves as Waterman, an office that is held,
turn by turn, by the inhabitants of ths
township, The location selected for this
cabin is as near as possible to the residence
of the pristay, or the district captain of DO
lice, and upon an alarm of fire he drives to
the scene in his teleea mt the head of the
procession of carts and peasants. .--Harper's
