PIRACY IN THE LEVANT.
1t Exists in n Small Way. but It's
Pnimy Days Have Passed.

From the London News.
In a large wholesale way of business,
indeed, Levantine piracy r1ay be called ex-
tinct No longer are the tideless waters
swept by the galleys Of the Algerine, nor
do we often at church find collections be-
ing made for mariners captive among the
Moors The genial old ruftian who made
his prisoners drink to the king over the
water is totally extinct.
. But in a small way, with very limited
CAPITAL and enterprise sadly thwarted, the
isles that burning Sappho loved and sang
still see a good deal of business done on the
old lines The practice rather resembles
maritime burglary perhaps than anything
worthy to be called piracy, and the prac-
titioners are natives of mixed race. A
small schooner or other vessel, q hardy
crew, a few lucifer matches and such re-
yolvers as can be procured suffice for an
outfit. The method Is commonly fol-
lows:
The shores of the isles are studded by
little villages as far from the sweet min
istry of the police as wild Kintail, and we
cannot put it more strongly. The wealth
of the villagers mainly consists in old sill
yer vessels and ornaments, often or beauty
and great antiquity. sponge diver, Tor
example, has found more than sponges.
In the British Museum there is a recent
aCquisitiOn-a pot made of gold, weighing
as mlCh as lDO SONeTGlSllS. lnlS was
brought up from a classical wreck by a
sponge diver, and 1t is likely enough that
such discoveries are frequently made and
concealed.
The villagers have also the silver orna-
ments of their women's dowTies, often old
and curious, and there may he few relies
of antique gems. rings, neCkletS and arm
let's. spoils of the graves of the MyCenaean
age AS the tax gathererS are prompt to
levy on all property, this little wealth is
of course carefully hidden, perhaps under
the thatCh. The pirates first care Is to
obtain private information as to who Is
rich among a people apparently as destitute
as the old fisherman in TheocrituS. When
he has learned as much as he can he
launches his bark under some equivalent
for the jolly Rover. He lands at the sleep
ing village under cover of night, surrounds
the cottage, and as rule places the house
holder on a fire or ties him up In a sack
with a pair of cats or otherwise prevails
on him to disclose the hiding place of mis-
valuables. Then the gallant pirate sails
away, and all Is over.

One Is Eight Feet by Six md Another
is Four Inches Square.


Is Four Inches Square.
Frcm the Chicago Herald
Curious newspapers by themselves form
a readable chapter in the history of jour-
nalism. The London Press News mentions
the following samples:
The largest paper ever published was (or
is, for the promoters have the preposterous
intention Of bringing 1t out once every
century, the Illustrated Quadruple Constel-
lation. The first number came out in 1858,
consequently No. 2 is due 1853. 1t meas
ured eight by six feet, price two shillings.
The first number did not contain a single
advertisement.
The smallest newspaper In the world Is
Ell Telegrama. published In Mexico, ex-
actly four inches square.
In Japan the Shi Clio Shue Dan Kwai
Zasshi is printed with it's sheets or leaves
of different colors.
The title is printed OH white paper; the
inside leaves are printed on various bright
ly colored-green, orange and yellow. 1t is
not printed on both sides, but each sheet
Is folded at the fore edge, not at the back,
as in this country. ami The printing is done
on the first and fourth pages. 1t is about
the size of a crown octave pamphlet.
The Austrian Fortnightly Review is a
unique literary publication, in that 1t has
contributors in almost every land, and
each article is printed in the native Ian
guage of the writer.
Hora Focunda is a useful monthly period
ical for the blind, printed in Edinburgh.
from the "Braille" type, and all engaged
in it's production are blind.
The credit of having the smallest circula-
ton in the world belongs to the Imperial
Gazette of Berlin, of which two copies are
printed daily. This exclusive publication
is intended for the perusal Of the emperor
alone.
In Turin is a paper printed with an ink
that becomes luminous in the dark, so that
the matter may be read without the as
sistance of artificial light.
At Prince Albert, a township in North
west Canada, a weekly newspaper ap-
pears in the handwriting of it's proprietor,
who is also its own editor, reporter print
er and advertising agent The paper ap-
pears in violet ink from gelatine hectic
graph, and is said to he widely read, and
is often quoted By the printed papers.

Hard for Women,

Because Of the restraint that dress and
the conventional ideas Of propriety impose
upon her, woman Is at a great disad-
vantage as compared with a man in get
ting maps on the ordinary railroad car.
She must keep her feet down. She can try
jamming her knees against the back of
the opposite seat if she likes, but until
she becomes completely emancipated from
skirts and dons kniCkerboCkers or trousers
she dare not try to make a foot rest of
the windowsill or anything of that sort
Then, she is further handicapped by her
headScar in seeking a rest for her head
Feathers and artificial flowers and hair
pins do not readily accommodate them
selves to the eXigencies of the occasion
About all she can do is to squeeze herself
into a corner and try to make the best OF
a bad job. The spectacle of woman try
ing to sleep this way q railroad car
does. however, serve the useful purpose of
making the ordinary man feel contented
with his lot.

Giving Away.

From the New London Telegraph.
The giving of the bride by her father Is
not a very important part Of the marriage
ceremony. but the giving away of some
maidens by their little brothers has pre-
vented many marriages.

En sier for Small Men,

There are compensations in everything
and the man who has often regretted that
his limited dimensions are so pronounced
as to win for him the sobriquet Of
shorty" finds that when it comes to
snooz:ng in the seat of a railroad car his
reward is ease and comfort. He just makes
a pillow of the hand rail by throwing his
coat over 1t, and coils up on the seat throw
ing his knees out, while his feet find Iodg-
ment at the other end of the seat. An
aldermanic corporation, though, is an in
SurmOCntable obSt acle to this mode of Slum-
Der. A man with a short trunk, even If
his deficiency is atoned for by legs that
are of something mere than the average
length can manage this position pretty
man who keeps his hat On while he tries
IL is liable to get it knocked off by any
body who happens to pass up the aisle
If he takes his hat off he is likely to get
mis- hair brushed in the same way.
The man who finds the seat i'm front of
him unoccupied and can persuade the con-
ductor to reverse it for his sole accom-
mediation finds himself in clover All he
has to do is to stretch his legs across the
Intervening gulf, and, provided his con-
science is clear and his digestion is good
he can slumber almc st as comfortable as
If he had berth in a sleeping car.
Some few men possess the faculty of he
ing able to slumber sitting bolt upright.
For them tie problem is robbed of all per-
pcXity. Such men are the envy of their
fellow passengers

Official reports are generally inclined to
be dry, but here is a report, one volume of
which, at least, is capable of pleasing and
informing any one who will read 1t. The

necessity for saving the great forests with
which-even after years of vandalsm-the

lrih World.
We arc familiar with tho loudly pro.
claimed boast OF tho advocates and
apologiats OF the party OF FREQ trade in
tho last Presidential campaign that the
Democratic party was tho poor mans
party and thatpoo men should vote
Tor Grover on that account. After a
year OF ClovClandism in control OF tho
national government, thoro arc few who
VIII deny that, in one sGnse, tho party
in power is essentially q "poor mans
party" 1t has proved moro prolific Of
poor men than any one year oil war or
pestllencc that ever befell tho country.
1t has precipitated moro bankruptcy,
closed more marts oil industry and pro-
duced moro tramps than have ever been
recorded in any year OF our national
history. The solicitude OF tho
otficia! head and representative
OF the poor mana party" for
tho comfort and prosperity OF those
proclaimed to DO its special wards and
objects OF sympathy is about to be put
to IL unique and almost cruel test. The
poor man has made up his mind 20 como
IN person to interview the poor mans
party IN Congress assembled. and to
lind out what is being done about all
those fine promises made when the poor
man 9 vote was wanted to put the poor
mans party in power, They want to
know why it is that after the poor
mans party vas placed in supreme
control OF legislation the poor mans
numbers and necessities multiplied.
They are inquiring how it is that they
we're promised moro wages only to have
their wages reduced; that they were as
sured OF steady employment only to
find the workshops closed and no work
to do; tina. they were promised better
food and clothing, only to be referred
to the charity organizations when they
wont to seek it.
