ne F~renchman Allowing his Dislike Of
England 20 Annoy Americans.
French hostility TO England has been
unusually violent for some months past,
and the English in Paris complain that
they are made aware Of It in ways that
offend them or even render their stay
there unpleasant. This Is something in
which we are not concerned. For an
other reason, however, It is our duty to
give the Parisians a warning. Life in
Paris has been made disagreeable to some
Americans Of late because the anti-Eng-
hsh Frenchmen have failed to draw the
line between Englishmen and Ameri-
cans, and as Americans speak the Eng
lish language have assumed that they
were English and have acted according
ly. This will not do.
We tell these shoulder Struggling and
mustache twisting Parisians that they
had better look out when they are in the
presence of Americans. Americans WAL
not tolerate their plague. They can't
treat young Brother Jonathan rs If he
were old John Bull. They must be re-
spectful toward Americans in France If
they want TO get the money Of American
tourists. Americans are a self asserting
people, not destitute Of patriotic pride,
not so patient as Job, not at all arrogant
OF i'll tempered, yet conscious Of their
inviolable A~mericanism. They have
grown beyond dueling, but 1t is not safe
to act toward them as if they were Of a
timid disposition. True, they speak the
English language, hut they can't help
that, and we may say that they like it.
There were $500 Americans living
permanently in Paris three months ago,
when the census of foreign residents was
taken, and hundreds of American tour
lists visit the city every week of the year.
These Americans spend lots of money in
Paris. 1t is possible that they spend
10000, 900 francs there every year., and
this sun is but a small part of the ag-
gregate amount which Parisians draw
from Americans annually. Let tn,
shoulder shruggers think Of this wher
they see an American dressed in French
clothes and Smelling out his dollars fol
their enrichment.
The Americans like France we'll, ant
they give proof of their liking for her
They appreciate the good qualities of the
French and give them full credit for al
their merits. 1t is to be regretted thai
there are some cOxcombs among tn
French, mostly in Paris.
The craziest thing that NJ. Crapaut
can do is to confound Brother Jonathan
with John Bull.-New York Sun.

ance Of the masses throughout Italy, ex-

enraged and burned all the public build

were overmatched, surrounded and un-
able to return to their barracks. They
tried to bivouac In the square. Themob
renewed the attack. and this battle last

both sides. In the morning the people
went home, and more troops camo and
prevented a renewal OF the hostility.
Then the people Of Salemi followed the
example Of Mazzara. The officials had
warning and garrisoned the public build
ings. When the mob attacked them, II
was at first repulsed. The rebels turned
their attention to other buildings AID
houses. The rich half Of the town was
destroyed, and much loss Of life occurred
before the troops gained control.
At C~astelvetrano a mob Of 1000 at
tackled the jail, freed the prisoners and
then held a meeting and voted to lynch

duly executed. The president Of the

The inhabitants Of P~ietraperzia made
demands upon the local authorities,
which were refused, and the troops were
called out. After a bloody battle, in
which many fell, the troops retreated.

A Curious circumstance Which IndicateI
Mental TeIepathv.

A Curious circumstance Which Indicated
Mental Telepathy.
A curious circumstance that may be
looked upon as a confirmation of tho
doctrine of mental telepathy took place
here recently in a family of importance
in the history Of the state. This family
numbers among its members a lady and
her twin brother, a young man who for
the past few years has been in business
in New Zealand, but who has been ex.
pected home on a visit to his sister.
One evening lately the lady was sit
ing surrounded by friends when all at
once she gave a piercing cry, and plac,
ing her hand to her side fell fainting to
the floor. On reviving she declared that
she had been suddenly stabbed just
above the heart and under the left arm,
indicating the spots. She was assured
that she was laboring under the purest
imagination, but was hard to convince
that this was the case, so plainly had she
felt the knife enter the body.
That night a little daughter was born
to her, and the child was found to be
marked on the places indicated by the
mother as the wounds she had imagined.
The marks on the child looked as if they
might be the cicatrix Of old knife
wounds. The next day a cablegram
was received from friends of the twin
brother in New Zealand, informing his
sister that he had been stabbed to death
by a native in a quarrel, and the date
given of the young mans death was that
of the night when his sister had felt the
pang of a knife entering her own body.
She prevailed ON her husband to in
quire by cable where her brothers muir
derer had struck him, and to complete
the coincidence learned that he had been
stabbed twice, once above the heart and
again under the left arm. She is con
WINGED that through her affinity with hel
brother she felt his death even as he re
ceived it.-New Orleans Letter.

Mr.. Justin Mccarthy, discoursing on

story Of Disraeli. 1t was during the
Russo Turkish war, and while relations
were very strained between England
and the ia a member was indiscreet
enough TO put a question to Disraeli,
who was then prime minister, as to the
policy Of the government in the event Of
the emperor OF Russia doing a certain
act.
Members shuddered as Disraeli, with
a most funereal face, slowly advanced to
the table. The question, he declared,
in a slow, measured voice, was one Of
such perilous moment that the honor.
able member acted most unwisely in
putting Il ON the paper, yet it was a
question Of such importance that the
only course now open TO the government
was to accept the inevitable and bold
~ answer. If, declared Disraeli,
''the emperor takes this step, all / can
say is-and l am speaking after a pro-
lOnged consultation with my colleagues
the government will then give the
policy they are to pursue their very best
consideration. Westminster Gazette.

Hundreds ofFishermen on Outlying Ialnnda
on the Verge Of starvation.
Hundreds Of fishermen are ON tho
verge Of starvation and suffering for the
want Of proper clothing within 30 miles
Of Portland. There are hundreds OF
islands in Casco bay and scattered along
the coast between Portland and the
Kennebec river. These are for the
most part inhabited by fishermen who
depend entirely upon their nets and
seines for food. During the past few
weeks these people have not been able to
set any nets on account Of the frequent
and severe storms which have swept the
coast. The fishermen live out Of the
line Of coasters and are visited only at
infrequeht intervals by fishing smacks
and summer visitors.
Malaga island, where most Of the suf.
fering is found, is situated about a mile
and a half from the mainland and il
perhaps three miles in circumference.
Upon this island are three huts built OF
logs and mud, and these huts are crowd
ed with 50 to 40 people. They were Wis.

the storm behind the island. The story
as told by one Of the crew here shows
that unless help arrives to these people
soou they will starve to death. When
the smack was seen nearing the islands,
the half starved people rushed down ID
the beach and set up a howl Of Joy. They
were barefooted for the most part and
poorly clothed at the best. Some Of the
women were almost nude, and several
children have died from exposure and
want Of proper food. The huts are said
to be in a filthy condition and afford bui
scant shelter from the bitter cold.
The smack had but little food OF
board, having made q poor haul Of fish
The crew gave the islanders such food a
they could spare and almost robbed
themselves of clothing to assist the il
clothed beings. The men on the island
say that they were not able to Obtain
enough fish this fall to provide them
selves with supplies for the winter, ant
when the storms prevented their setting
their nets they were left without food.
The coast at this point is thinly set
tied with fishermen, who are reported Il
be in almost as bad a condition as tn
islanders. Yarmouth, Bear and Baske
