hobby 1t seems that Russell seldom if

While az the cigar stand, fishing around
his not at all fashionable costume for
the requisite coin, an acquaintance ar
rived and planked down IL cents for an
imported weed. The cunning old manip-
ulator Of the destinies of Wall street
lambs saw an opportunity here to make
turn in the cigar line. Producing a
dime, he laid it beside the acquaint-
ance's 10 cents and then suggested to
said acquaintance to order two for a
quarter. As the brand the gentleman
wanted retailed for 10 cents straight or
two for quarter the foxy Russell se-

lesson in economy, so there's no use

DIR. McClintock of the University Of
Michigan has performed experiments
which indicate that eggs may become
infected with microbes before they are
laid A healthy hen, after repeated
washings i'll sterilized solutions, was
placed in sterilized cage. As soon as
possible after being laid a portion of her
eggs were placed in sterilized cotton and
then in an incubator. All these eggs de-
cay ed and swarmed with bacteria The
remaining eggs wegc taken rs soon as

SCENES IN NAPLES.
Some of the Incidents of the Street Life o
the Neapoiitans.

Some of the Incidents of the Street Life OF
the Neapoiitans.
The commonest people Of Naples sci.
dom buy anything from the stores OF
shops. but patronize peddlers and street
hawkers almost exclusively. At the port
able kitchen booths bill of fare is of.
fered to the hungry wayfarer that Is
laughingly reasonable in price anO
varied in kind. Besides the ever present
macaroni the principal articles Of food
are the frutti di mare. sea fruits, y i'll
Guiding musSels, polypi and sea spiders,
all regarded As most tempting delicacies
by the ever hungry lazzaronie.
Then there are roasted fishes of all
kinds, maize dumplings, so called
spighe, and finally the national meat
food, called braccinole, which is really q
dumping or cake made of lamb meal
and lard. Snail soup is another delicacy
q well as cheese with bacon (la pizza).
Like all southerners. the Neapolitans
show a marked fondness for sweets OF
all kinds, and they would be quite lost
without their portion of struffoli, a
gather tough cake made principally oi
honey. Then nothing appeals to the laz
zaroni appetite SO insidiously as the IA
nous Easter cake of Cassatello, which
is sprinkled most temptingly with fluid
pork fat, and in which whole eggs are
baked, shell and all, questionable
dainty to uneducated palates.
The lazzaroni women are seldom
beautiful and generally not even pretty.
They are usually poorly built, with
swarthy compilations and irregular fea
lures. Now and then one finds a lustrous
pair Of eyes of great beauty, but rarely.
The Neapolitan women are not to be
compared with the women of the coun
try as seen in Rome and in the Cam
pagna, whose trim figures, graceful
movements and frequently charmingly
fascinating faces SO often greet the eye
Of the traveller. Their fullness of form,
proud bearing and fine profiles are all
oonspicuously absent in the wives of the
lazzaroni. And how could it well be
otherwise? Are they not beasts of bur
den" for beasts of BURDEN" Are the
facchini, by reason of their occupation,
much more than this?-Home and Coun
