The Siciliau PeaSnnt.

In some parts Of the island the ad.
vent Of a baby girl is looked upon as
such a misfortune that a small black
flag is hung out of the window to
proclaim the sad event. The reason
is not far to seek, says the National
Review. Having to be maintained
by the household as long as they are
unmarried, and having to dover their
bridegrooms with a 'dot," girls are
improbable. Boys, on the other
hand, are DON self-suppOrting, and
they increase the family wealth
when the time comes to bring home
a wife by the amount OF the young
lady's fortune. Nevertheless, the
girls, although kept in such strict Sc
clusion that one hardly eve meets
them walking about, are said to be
kindly treated. At the age of fifteen
or sixteen they are disposed of in
marriage according to an arrange
ment, purely financial, between the
families concerned.
Judging by appearance one would
think that the Siclllan p~casantry are
in the last stage OF poverty. This is
to a great extent the case, but one
must not be altogether guided by out
ward signs, for however well off they
may be they seldom make any change
in their way of living. They all live
by preference in the towns. Even
those who are employed in the coun-
try during the week build mud novels
for that time and flock back to the
towns on Saturdays.
The wsmen have no national dress
and no distinctive characteristic be-
yond the love of bright colors, which
seems ihborn in all Southern natures.
The men, on the contrary, are pictur-
esquely clad In black and white
black trousers to the knee, slit some
twelve inches up the outside seam,
to let out a Bullying white undergar-
ment, sheeDskin leggins strapped on
with thongs and moccasinsi a white
shirt, open at the neck. with full
white sleeves gathered in at the wrist,
and over this a black sleeveless vest;
a black cloth cap hanging over the
ear. The time-honored superstition
OF the "evil eye" is still so widely
spread throughout the island, even
among the upper classes, that no one
who does not wear a charm is consid.
cred safe,

TIE cows cUp.

The cows cud Is O quantity of the
food that is brought up from the frs
stomach after the food has been swal-
lowed and the animal is resting and
has time to remasticate it more COM
pletely. Between the first and second
stomachs there is q receptacle about
five inches long and the size Of The
gulet. A portion of the food is pressed
into this part Of the gullet and is
brought up into the throat and mouth,
where IL is chewed slowly. This food
may be seen ascending the gullet when
the COW is Illuminating. The cud is not
any distinct thing, as some suppose,
that may be lost, but is simply q por-
ton of the food which comes from the
stomach in the way desoribed- When
0 COW is said to lose her cud, nothing
is lost or dropped, but by reason Of
indigestion the action OF the stomach
is suspended, and it is restored as soon
as the trouble is removed by any
simple medicine. The most effective
is @ dose Of q pint of raw linseed oil or
melted lard.--New York Times.

Emperor William l. of Germany
same time had Il great gift of popu-
iarity-a most happy combinato on for
3 ruler.
At the close of the French War he
dictated to his private secretary an
address which he intended to deliver
Ito the German army. The final SEN
tence ran thus:
''But do not forget that we must
all be grateful toward Prov. dence;
for Providence has willed that we
should be the instrument destined to
accomplish what are such great
events in the history of the world"
The secretary, having his own
ideas, as even the secretaries Of en-
perors and kings cannot help having,
wrote up. evidence has permitted. "
stop" said the aged emperor; ''do
you imagine that l could have sup
ported the burden of this var II ]
had not entertained the firm conv.c-
ton that Providence willed it?
Write the word as / dictated it"
With all this faith in himself
that is, in his divine commission
he preserved those simple and human
qualities which in a strong ruler
never fail TO win the favor and even
the homage of the people.
A young gardener was showing him
over the grounds OF his favorite re-
treat at Babelsberg. The Emperor
noticnd that II youth was embar-
raised and seemingly preoccupied,
and by and by demanded the reason.
"Your Ma. esty," said the boy, 'fn
half an hour / am due at the bar
racks at Potsdam."
That was enough. In a few min,
utes the young solder was in uni
form, and the Emperor took him
post-haste in his OWE carriage to the
lrill-ground.

Fruit Eating to Cure All Ills.

A new society Of cranks has been
started by a former lieutenant 10 the
German army. His name is Wathe.
He is the leader or a new 'Ism," ard
as such sailed recently from San
Francisco to Honolulu. The Fruita-
rians" is the name OF the new society
he represents, and their bellef-or
rather nOtion-is that modern ciyIli-
cation is full of vanities and strange
notions, and greatly needs reforming.
The members eat nothing but rlpe
fruit eschew cooked food of any
kind, and drink only water. They
are to live In huts bare of the com.
forts of civilization, and go naked.
Ex-Lieut. Wathe intends to buy a
large tract Of land In the Sandwich
Islands, or perhaps a small island
outright, for the purpose Of founding
I colony.

Dreams come because the mind
does not sleep when the body sleeps
and the power of memory remains
awake to receive the impressions
made on 1t by the dream. 1t has
been argued that a dream is wholly
aue to the memory; assuming that to
be the case, it Is only natural that
one should remember a dream. as the
memory would be the only mental
power concerned In the phenomenon
Of dreaming. But it is not certain
that q person remembers all his

"a incident to the transition stage

THE HELP THAT COMES TOO
LATE

-
Tfgs vearisoms world, this world Of ours
It's weeds that smother the s~pringiffy flowers
And Its hapless strifes with fate,
But the darkest dav of its desolate deya
Secs the help that comes too late.
Ahi woe for the word that is never said
TIL the ear fs deaf to hear.
And woe for the lack to the fainting head
OF ringing shout Of cheer;
All woe for the laggafd feet that tread
In the rnournfui wake OF the bier.
What booteth help when the heart Is numb'
What booteth Q broken spar
OF love thrown out whom the lips are dumb.
And LIES barque drifteth far,
Olfar and fast from the alien past,
Over the moaning bsrf
A pitiful thing the gift to-day
That 10 dross and nothing worth.
Though II Il bad come but yesterday
II had brfmmsd with sveet the earth,
A fading rose ina deeth-cold hand,
THAT persisted in want and dearth
who fam would help in this world OF ours.
Where soTrowful steps mu t fall,
Bring help In time to the waning powers
Ire the bier 10 spread with the pail;
Nor send reserves when the flags are furled,
And the dead beyond your call.
For bathing most in this drearY world,
With its tsnR1es mail and great,
Its lonesome nights and its weary days,
And its strugRles forlorn with fate
Is that bittsrest grief, too deep for tears,
OF the help that comes too late.
