WORSE COOLIES.
Frlghtful Condition OF the Peasants OF tho
Island OF Sicily.

Island or sicily.
The condition OF tho peasants of
Sicily. who rece ltly rose against their
oppressors and well nigh precipitated
a general revolt against the Italian
government, is perhaps more wrctched
than that OF any othc. civilized people
in the world. For ages the poorer
classes have been the prey of the richo,
and have been burdened by the most
exorbitant taxation while the rich
have generally escaIel without any
taxation at all. Corruption is rife in
every Office in the island and justice is
a mere mockery, simply depending On
who a give the largest bride.
The land is owned by a few noblemen
who live in Rome o. Palermo and who
lease their estates to capitalists known
as "gabellotti, Or tax extorters. The e
in their turn divide the estates and
sub'et them to "subgabellotti,' who
again lease the subdivided land piecs-
meal to the peasants, Or. If you wish.
farmers. These latter are most shame
fully bled. They are permitted to
retain but one-quarter of their crops,
no matter how poor the yield may
be. In addition to this they are COM
PEELED to nay on enormous tax and pro-
vide themselves with seed and the me-
&C ssities of life. Reduced to the most
abject poverty, the estate-owner pad
rome" sometimes lends them money at
80 per cent. q year.
The day laborer's lot is even worso,
if such q thing is possible. The lowest
Chinese cody lives in luxury compared
with the Sicilian day laborer. The re-
suit Of this is that agriculture, which
is the chief support OF Sicily, has be-
come totally ruined. The petty farm
ers and peasantry are held in complete
slavery by the capitalists and land
owners

Discussing Irrigation.

The subject OF irrigation is being
discussed more as the warm spell OF
weather continues.
Those counties which have at vari-
ious times been called the ''granaries
Of the world" have almost invariably
been those which controlled their
water supply. Irrigation necessarily
implies drainage, thus furnishing u
means OF carrying off a surplus of
water after heavy rains. There are
many quarter sections lying along the
Big Sioux and other rivers Of eastern
South Dakota producing abundant
crops in wet seasons, but drying out
entirely during dry years, which lie
very favorably for irrigation with
waters from the river. A reservoir
built at some highest point accessible
to the river might be fitted with a
wind or steam pump, distributing its
supply over the land and subsequently
draining back into the river. The
first cost of such Il plant would not be
near as much as that Of sinking an ar
tesian we'll, though, OF course, there
would be the cost OF keeping pumps
and engines in repair, a merely nomi-
mai expense when considering the
great advantage derived. Over fifty
bushels of wheat have been produced
upon an irrigated field In the James
River Valley during some OF the dry
years when non-irrigated fields pro-
duced ten bushels.

THE acts Of this life are the destiny
OF the next.
A DoUBTER is always lodging and

CHEERFULNEss is health: its oppo-

No ONE can be truly brave who 10

HE who reforms himself has done
much toward reforming others.
SIMPLICITY of character is the nat

JOYS are the flowers dropped into
our path by the hands OF Providence.
LIVING entirely for self is about the

THE man who tries to be religious

Tho Spirit of Progress Now Seen In That
Ancient City.
The British Consul at Jerusalem, in
his latest report, gives some Interest,"
ing details respecting the present n
diti n of the Holy City. 1t appears
tt at buildings of various kinds con-
tinue to be erected in the vicinity, and
that the city Is far ~outgrowing its
former limits. On the western side
houses have increased so rapidly with
in tho last few years that quite a large
suburb has arisen where formerly there
were fields and vineyards.
Every available piece OF land Is now
being bough hit up b. private persons or
b; Eenevo,s mt societies and missions,
and already the name of Modern Je-
I'll allen" has been given to this new
quarter. Last year the first public
garden was completed out id the Jafa
Gate. and the trade is generally in
creasing, especially that in Jaffa or
anges, div e-wood work now an impor-
tant local industry, and olive oil. The
export of %co'ocynth declined in con-
sequence of a 1.-THE levied IN it by tho
authorities. 1t is gathered b. Arabs
in the neighborhood OF GAIA, where it
grows wild.
An | .teresting enterprise which has
recently Eeen commenced is the collec-
ton of the bitumen which rises to the
surface and floats on the Dead Sea.
Two sailing floats were taken by train
from Jaffa to Jerus allen, and then en-
veyed ON carts to the Jordan, where
they we're hoated down the river to the
Dead Sea. and they are now engaged
in picking up the bitumen, which is in
much request in Europe.

A Science OF Old shoes.

A French savant has invented q new
science which he terms scarpology,'
whereby he propo es to diagnosticate
mental qualities from the appearance
of the shoes worn by the subject. He
claims that shoes that have been worn
are full of faithful indications as to
lack of energy, fickleness, tad temper,
or the opposite qualities, as the ca 9
may be. If the sole and heel of a shoe,
after months wear, are equally worn,
the owner is an energetic business
man, an employe that a be relied on.

the outside edge is most worn, the
owner is adventurous to rashness and

WASHINGTON special: An exam
inAtiOn OF the figures showing the
value Of imports for the ten months
ending April 30, makes it apparent
that the manufacturers OF sugar have
anticipated the imposition Of duty on
that commodity, and that the manu-
facturers OF WOODEN goods have also
been acting upon the belief that wool
will shortly be admitted free OF duty.
During the period named the quantity
Of sugar imported aggregated 1885,
IT., 1886 pounds, valued at $l06, l3l, 1873,
an increase in quantity Of 291, Isl .497
pounds, and an increase in value of
b., O33, S89. The quantity OF raw wool
imported during the ten months was
AZ, 331, 974 pounds, valued at ~, TO, 46s,
against l5O, 097. 924 pounds, valued at
els, Az, $40, for the corresponding ten
months Of the preceding fiscal year,
thus showing q decrease Of w 100, :
0OO, 900 pounds, and nearly &l4, 00O, 900.
In manufactures Of wool there was u
decrease Of el6. 900, 900, which may be
taken rs an indication that foreign
manufacturers are awaiting the lower
rates OF the pending tariff bill.

Austral,an lSollot beaten.

ST. PAUL special: The Dispatch
charges that the Australian ballot law
has been beaten In the late municipal
election. and that possibly 1000 pur-
chased votes were deposited. The bal
lot purchasers secured one Of the num-
bered ballots through one OF the judges
OF their party. They marked this to
suit their wishes, gave it to o purchas-
ed voter who went in and got Q blank
ballot, entered the booth, substituted
the blank ballot which he voted, then
went out, delivered the blank ballot to
the vote buyer and got his money.
His blank ballot was then marked aud
given to another purchased voter in
turn, and 80 on. Thus the Australian
law, instead OF acting as q check, fur
nished the bribers q receipt showing
the purchased vote delivered.

TOO MUCH FRUIT.
TROPICAL FRUITS A DRUG ON
THE MARKETS.


BALTIMORE special: Never before
~ the port Of Baltimore was seen
such : large tropical fruit feet as ar
rived Saturday. Ten schooners came
In from the Bahamas with 67,574 dozen
OF pineapples. Their cargoes ranged
from 5000 to 5000 dozen. The con-
signees looked depressed when one
vessel sitter another was towed to the
Pratt Street wharves. 1t was impos-
sible TO handle the great amount Of
fruit. Several OF the vessels were
sent outside the harbor to keep the
careOcs cool until wanted. In addition
to these arrivals the Bulack- Hart
C0mpany's steamer Vigsnaes came to
Bowle's wharves and discharged TO-
900 punches Of bananas from Jamaica.
In the afternoon the schooner Eaglet
arrived ut Henderson wharves from
Key West with several Thousand cases
d canned pineapples. All around, it
was the record fruit day ut this port.
Some say the record has no equal any
where.

late Cyrus w. Field, at the northwest
corner OF Lexington avenue and Gram
Grey Fark, Now York, has rcmainod
vacant since the death of its former
owner AMI occupant. 1t is four stories
and Il basement high, very deep, and
has a stable in the rear, accessible
flom the avenue On the quaint irSn
railing of the o,d-fashioned balcony,
in front, a large p!acard is displayed
bearing in bold letters the legend:
For Sale or to Lease" and a similar
announcement is conspicuously posted
on the side of the house. On the front
door is a brass plate Inscribed &C. w.
Field, in old English letters, and on a
side door is one of nickel, inscribed
Cyrus W. Field, in plain black le:-
tiers. Closed wooden blinds at every
window are weatherbeaten AMI grimy.
The stately mansion is a sad reminder
,f its distinguished departed owner
and the melancholy disaster by which
he and his family were overwhelmed
in his declining years. 1t stands in
glocmy silence and strange contra't
with its halcyon days, when oft within
its once hospitable walls the light

Footing the Bills of the Fair.

The American custom of paying for
your friends in cafes or restaurants
prevails in Spain, though nowhere else
on the continent, says a traveller.
Formerly gentlemen who accompanied
la1ie, en- their shopping expeditions
we're in the habit of raging for every
thing their fair friends bought, so that
gallantry beca re q too expensive lux
ury, and the custom wisely died out.
1t used t, be said in Andalusia, where
women were moro .eXtravagant than in
the north, that a long purse was need.
O. for a short walk with a lady. The
custom il obsolete now, and she who
allows you to make pur, bases for her
is supro.ed to bs devoid of high breed.
