THE anti-tax movement is responsible for
bloodshed and pillage in Sicily. Several
DAYS ago the discomfort in Campobello, a
town of 5000 inhabitants, had become so
great that the town council passed a resolu-
ton abolishing the wheat octroi. AS pro-
tests against this action, the millers refused
to reduce the price of -four, and the bakers
announced an increase in the price of bread.
When these measures became known, more
than thousand men and women of the
working class paraded the streets and re-
fused to dispense. The rioters set fire to all
public buildings except the town hall.
From these buildings the fire spread to the
nearby private houses. While large
building was in flames, the mob, leaving the
owners and officials to fight fire, marched to
the prison and took it by storm. All prison
ers were liberated. The troops were called
out and scores of the rioters were shot down
in their tracks,

But while the uniica ton of all the
forms Of Christianity by.-ecclesiastical
ties and through an acceptance OF a
common body of doctrine may be
deemed impracticable, there is No
doubt that the era of religious rancors
and sectarian antipa thies has almost
passed away, the only yestises of it
being the persecution of the Jews In
eastern Europe and the occasional
foolish attempts to excite suspicion and
Jealousy of the Catholic church in
Canada and the United States. I'm
questionably the time is ripe, or soon
will be, for moral cooperation of all
men calling themselves Christians
against revolutionary teachings which
threaten the destruction alike of re-
ligion and civilization. The necessity
of such a combination against anti
social forces has been repeatedly at
ffrmed by Leo XIII, and IS pro-
claimed with special anxiety and fer
yor in what perhaps will prove to be
his last encyclical.

are fed daily by the keeper, says tha
National English Magazine, and ex-
perience has taught them to connect
the sound of footsteps with their meal
time
Formerly a clapper used to be rung
to summon them, but this was no more
than a trick of the stage; the football
on the stone is quite enough to awaken
them TO activity. Most of-the cod,
being deep water fish, become totally
blind in captivity from excess of light,
but they become so tame and accus-
toned TO their keeper as not only to
iced out of his hand, but some OF
them allow themselves to be lifted out
OF the water. One may witness the
strange sight of huge cod, more
than an ell long, dangled on the knee
like a baby, his mouth stuffed with
muSsels and limpets, after which he
IS returned to the water with~a
mighty splash. On the table th1sa

| less suckers. The small craft rolled
and rocked in the arms of the monster,
and every moment it threatened t.
throw all five Of Us into the waite.
The only hope we had was to deal the
monster the death blow, but il seemed
the opportunity would not again be
offered. Blows had no effect on the
huge tentacles. The men belabored
what parts Of the flesh they could
reach with clubs, but the effect was
like pounding a piece of rubber. Sew
eral times the boat was tipped by the
struggles of the monster so that water
came over the gunwales, and in des-
perauon the men fought for their lives,
but expecting every moment to be
drawn below the surface OF the ocean
TO horrible death.
One of the stout fish hooks had
caught securely in the body Of the
brute, and couple of the men began
to haul in on the stout line. Slowly
they gained on the cord as they pulled,
and slowly the body of the monster
was being dragged from the keel of
the boat, where it had been impossible
to reach it with any weapon that
would put stop TO the battle. Stead
lily the men hauled away until the
body came in sight. The huge eyes
glared savagely up through the water
but the vital spot was yet out of the
reach Of the weapon poised To deal
the death blow when the opportunity
came. Slowly the monsters body was
being dragged upward, and as it
reached the surface the sharp spike
of the boat hook was driven deep into
the brute's body just below the eye,
and the victory was won. Gradually
the long arms unwound themselves,
and the terrible sea monster was

LOCALIZED GAMBLING HILLS.
Wyoming Licenses Games of Chance
and the Play Is ION the Square"

Wyoming has for many years al
lowed women the suffrage, and the
Sutfragists claim TO have made the
state more law-abiding and civilized.
Yet gambling is legalized there, and
is carried on in way that in New
York would result in a great public
scandal. To visitors to Wyoming, par
ticularly to eastern visitors, says d
! Cheyenne letter to the Chicago Tri-
bune, 1.-The StrangeSt law in existence
here is the law in relation to gambling,
for under its ample provisions, in
most Of the towns and cities of the
state, the person who wishes to gam
bic need not go through dark alleys
and climb narrow staircases to crafty
this passion, nor is it necessary for
the prOprietOrs of faro layouts to
! stand ip, with the powers that be.
1t is not a criminal act to gamble
Or to permit gambling.
Under a law which has been in
force for years amy person may pro-
cure license for carrying on any
game of faro, monte, roulette, lans-
Quenette, rondo, vingt-et-un, keno or
props. Blank licenses are prepared
by the register Of deeds of each cOun.
ty in the state, and they are signed,
issued and accounted for as is by law
required with respect to other county
licenses. Each license delivered by
the sheriff contains the name of the
IceDsee, a description of the room in
which the licensee desires to carry on
the game licensed, and by it's terms
authorizes the Hcensee to carry on the
game mentioned. For such license
there is paid the sum Of $500 a year
Appropriate penalties are provided for
carrying on these games without l.
cenSeS.
by another section of the law any
person or persons who shall keep or
deal or permit to be kept or dealt in
any building or place under his OF
their control, shall permit banking or
other game of chance for money or
other representation of value, played
with cards or other devices, shall be
| deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and
on conviction thereof shall be pun
ished by a fine of not less than $500
nor more than $1,000, or by imprison-
ment and not less than three months
nor more than one year, or by both
such fine and Imprisonment.
THE seductive three-card monte
man is shut out by the following pro
vision:
provided, That the word monte
in this chapter shall not be construed
to mean 'three-card monte"
Attempts to repeal these laws have
been made from time to time, and the
last legislature considered a bill max
ing gambling criminal, but it failed
to pass. The theory of those in favor
| Of legalized gambling is an evil i'm
possible Of suppression, especially in
| sporting communities, such as most
western towns are. To suppress gam
bling would result in the opening Of
! hidden dives where players would be

rare.-New York World.

ADVANTAGES OF STENOGRAPHY.

Stenography is not a desirable Dur
suit Tor the girl with an ambitious
temperament, filled with enthusiasm
to conquer worlds" and start a bank
account. The general routine work of
most business offices is neither educa-
tive nor mentally elevating, but in
stead tends to autOmatizing her. No
doubt it has a moral influence. and
produces Job-like patience, which, If
not an heroic, is held to be an an
gellc virtue, writes Grace IL. Harte,
in August Donahoe's. The eyer-cheer-
full believer in the what is is right
doctrine breaches that the automatic
routine of the office stenographer will
leave her mind free to think great
thoughts. At this | can only shrug my
shoulders believing that there are
more great thoughts in action than In
passivity-generally speaking Where
into poetry the average stenographer
will play with her fingers.
If an ambitious shorthand writer
could choose her chief and 1t fell to
her lot to be amanuenSis to a Platonic,
a Socratic or Shakespearian mind it
would be grand education to her
and | cannot imagine a pleasanter
occupation. But a great number of
employers are illiterate and unedu-
Gated men, and to be continually writ
ing out the dictation of such does not
aid her ambitious energy, to say moth
ing of the evil influence on her liter
airy style. There is not even a mini
mum Of inspiration in continually ac-
knoWledging always to ones
employers order.
While stenography per Sc, like most
other feminine pursuits in this work
a-day world, is not lacking in it's share
of disapp0intments, bitterness, and
even at times despair, it has also it's
collateral advantages, which must not
be lost sight Of. The most apparent
the browning virtue of
as an occupation Ito
which / hope and no doubt, that IS
Per cent. Of the sisterhood will not
objecO is that as a bridge to matri-
mOny" it has no equal.
