the descriptions and the manifestation of human feelings combined with that we'll known classical simplicity of the narrative are so great that the whole presents itself to our eyes as one sub lime picture. Justly did a celebrated Italian critic. Professor Plaggella, call them by no means novels. but sublime strokes of fancy.
 As private individual Mir. savarese has all the qualities of a noble heart. qualities that prove him to be worthy descendant of the illustrious 1urist Pro- lessor saverio Savarsse. whose monu- ment can be seen to this day in the su- preme court of Naples, and of the dis tinguished scientist Professor Antonio Apopte. also a martyr of the Italian independence. having been imprisoned for twelve years, accused of the crime of having preached the gospel of eleva- tion and equality to his fellow-country- men.

Now there will be no longer rivalries, no longer hatred among the Italians. but a prolonged peace. if only certain local American contemporary papers. for want of news. will stop fabricating false ones

The After Time,

There comcth time for laughter And joys for the days and years, Dut ever there comcth after
 A time and place for tears. Weary Of revcl and riot,
 Sick of the worldly strife, Cometh the peace-the quict-
 That quickcns the founts Of life. And the spirit Is disenchanted
 With joys that arc bitter sweet, And the soul which for rest had pantcd, Falls down at tho Masters feet. The world and It's ways seem lonely, And love at the best seems loss What help Is there then but only To cling to tho crimson cr0ss? To cling to tho cross that blossoms With blood for the crring shed; On the tenderest of tender bosoms To pillow the weary head; To feel the love that Is glowing From the heart that is quick to beat With even the harsh nnilS going In the beautiful scared white feet. Obird. by the storm winds driven Where never a sweet bird sings, From the wild and angry heaven Fly homcward with weary wings; And yc that arc worn and weary, Who faint by the way and fali, Fly fast from tho darkness dreary To the rock that was cleft for all

FOR CONGRESS,

As the time for holding the congress sional nominating convention for this district approaches the enthusiasm for the Hon. N. D. Sperry increases, and the eagerness to get chance to vote for him grows. Everybody knows his fitness to represent the district, and everybody knows that if he can be elected no district in the country will be better represented than this. He will have prominence and power in Wash ington, where he is already well known. He will not have to servean apprentice ship in consrcssiona. ways and duties. He knows more about them now than many of the old members. He has been a powerful influence in national legis- iation for many years, and will not be less powerful when he takes part in !t as member of the house. He has made a special study of tariff questions in which this district is vitelly interested, ard 1t will be much to the advantage of the district to have such a strong and efficient advocate of its interests in congress. How well equipped he is to Geal with sucl, matters is known all over Connecticut, for he has been prom inent in the discussion of them through out the length and breadth of the State, and has done much to make them un- derstood. He stands to-day the most thorough and efficient advocate of pro- lection for American industries that we have in Connecticut.
 All the voters of the district, ire spective of party, might we'll vote for Mir. Sperry, and we know that many who are not Republicans want to vote for him. They realize his superior flt- ness for seat in the house. They know that he knows how to do public busi- ness, and how to do it we'll. They know that he will look after the interests of the district without regard to parti. san politics. And they know that he would be credit to the district. He with Senators Hawley and Platt, would make strong team to pull for Coanec tlcut interests in Washington.

 . The saying there's nothing new un- der the sun applies with especial dis tinctness to fashions, so great is the tendency to draw upon modes of years ago for new" things. The opera cloak for the coming season illus trates this point. Although 1t is novel enough in appearance, 1t strongly sug- gests the cloak of the ancient Grecian belle, one corner being made to draw over the head.

Starving peasants in the interior of Italy are fed at an expense of less than three cents for single meal by an ad- mirable system. The result Is that in
 a community of 15,OOO people no one goes hungry, and the increase of ter rible disease. called the pellagra, has been stopped. The laborers have grad ually become so poor that they often live exclusively on maize, become mouldy sometimes in consequence of being gathered while unripe to satisfy hunger. This. eaten without even salt, has produced in the Veneto and the Romagna a dreadful disease, the pei. lagra, which attacks first the skin, which in some places peels off and is attended with burning pain. The flesh wastes; yatud and bodX decay slowly together.

Perhaps Judaism, as 1t is in the lives of the great mass of us, would have more depth. beauty and spirituality if we did not shut ourselves in an intellectual ghetto and call that process loyalty to religion.
