The Italian Government has at
length commenced to grapplc in earn
est with the WOrkmen'S Sociallstic
ASsOCiat Ons in Sicily. At MilOcca
the President and three members Of
the local council Of the ASSOCIATION
were arrested recently and thrown
into prison. The populace imme-
diately rose in open revolt, diSarmed
the gendarmeS, stOrmed the prison,
and released the four prisoners. On
the following day. however, a battal
ion of infantry which was sent to the
town, recaptured the President and
councillors and arrested forty women
and eighteen men as the ngleaderS
in the riot. At Ciminna, Bangina,
CaltabcllUtta, CattOliCa Eraclea, and
several smaller towns and villages
the local branches Of the association
have been formally proclaimed as il
legal and SeditiOuS bodies and as such
dlssOIl ed. In each case the offices or
clubhouse of the association was
searched by the police, all documents
seized, and the OiliCebearerS arrested.
Except at NiIoCca no serious resist
anCe was offered to the authorities.
and for the mOmcntit looks as though
the association has been cOwed. 1t
is not thought probable that the
Socialists will allow themselves to be
entirely suppressed. - Westminster

Capillary Correspondence.

A correspondence Of this nature
was recently attempted between a
notorious Partisan thief in durance
vile and his comrades outside. The
prisoner was sent a letter from his
hancee containing merely lock OF
hair wrapped in the leaf of book.
The gaOler did not consider the SOU
yenir important enough to be GCily-
cred, but few days after came a
similar Enclosure, and yet another
This aroused suspicion, and the Gov
ernOr took the matter in hand. He
examined the leaf Of the book: it was
only that of a common novel, twenty
six lines on a page, Then he studied
the hair, and noticed the small guam
tity of the gift. Counting the hairs,
he found them Of unequal length
and twentv.SiX in number, the same
as the lines of the pages. Struck
with the coincidence; he laid the
hairs along the lines of the page
which they respectively reached, be-
ginning at the top with the smallest
hair. After some trouble he found
that the end of each hair pointed to
a different letter, and that these let
tiers, combined, formed slang sem
tence which informed the prisoner
that his friends were on the watch,
and that the next time he left the
prison TO be examined an attempt
would be made TO rescue him. The
Governor laid his plans accordingly;
the attempt at rescue was made but
the rescurers fell into their own trap.

How the Gorilla Walks.

The usual pictures of the gorilla do
not represent him 4. have seen him.
He has not only crouching habit, but
he walks on all four of his legs, and
has the motion of most quadrupeds,
using his right arm and left hind leg
at the same time, and alternates with
the left arm and left leg. 1t is not
exactly a walk or a trOt, but a kind
of ambling gait, while the chin
panzee uses his arms as crutches,
and lifts one foot from the
ground little in advance
of the other. They do not place the
palm of the hand on the ground, but
use the back of the finger from the
second Joint. and at times the one

only the back of the nails, but this

PLAYING Whist with "A Iunatic.

There was large crowd on the boat
from Astoria Thursday evening, in
Guiding Sheriff Smith and three insane
men en- route to the asylum. = ~
Hess, one of the unfortunates, was
very violent, having nearly strangled
two men who went to arrest him. On
the way up the river three persons
wished to make up a party al whist
but for some time were unable to find
a fourth. Al last, after they had tried
to induce many to Join them, Hess
made his way to the table and took a
seat opposite to an eX-railrOad con
ductor, who, although as brave as a
lion. turned pale at sight of his strange
partner.
No one dared to object and SO the
game proceeded, the insane man ewing
his partner with wild glare when he
failed to capture trick and looking
around at the other players as if he
had mind to hold them personally
responsible. The sheriff sat back and
left his prisoner to enjoy himself,
while the others played on in d per-
funCtiOnary manner, wondering how
they were going to get out of the
game. Several proposals to quit play
ing were vetoed by the insane man
and the game seemed likely TO last al
night, till at last an unusually bad
play on the part of his partner caused
him to make a move as if to GemOliSh
the whole party and the sheriff inter-
fered to the great relief of the scared
players who "scoOted off" to their
berthS. SHORTHAND Oregon.

Three Curious Words,

FlIlbuster, freebooter and buccaneer
are words curiously intcrrelated. The
French and English sea adventures
once made common cause against
Spanish settlements in the new world,
and all three of these words came in
time to describe the rude sea soldiers
who despoiIed the Spanish main and
the towns upon the coasts of the Span
lsh possessions. Fiiibustcr is said to lie
the result of an attempt to make a
rench word of freebooter. and the
English borrowed it back from the
rench because il sounded less frankly
brutal than the English word.
buccaneer was originally French in
form, and 1t meant at first one who
hunted the bOucan or wild cattle and
hogS OF the West Indies: then one
who made jerked meat of their flesh.
and finally, because this meat was
used to provision the ships of the sea

The effort to bring them into the

that they had formed a ring TO run
