ITALIAN HEALTH RULES.
Temptation Is Either Sought or Care
 full Avoided.

The health code of the average Ital- ian may be summed up in two maxims: "Seek precipitation when ill.," and "Avoid precipitation when we'll" No matter whether the ailment be grave or slight, prompt measures are taken to induce profuse precipitation, the usual recourse being to hot teas made fromuvarious healing herbs In ordi- nary health an Italian takes every pre- caution against getting into perspira- tion. Perhaps this feeling. more than the lethargy resulting from a warm climate, may be held responsible fol the lack of active outdoor sports in Italy. Roller-skating and bicycling are growing in favor, shooting galler- ies and quiet boating have always been popular, but cricket, baseball, tennis and similar games are hardly known, even in their mildest form.
 Although resisting their long, hot summers without detriment to health, Italians prespire freely when taking most moderate exercise. In recogni- tion of this treacherous fact, both gentleman and laborer move through life very quietly, never hurrying ex- cept in a case of dire necessity. As il- illustrative of their horror of perspiring, a writer in Kate Fields Washington gives an incident that occurred few weeks ago in Florence. An English lady was walking down the Lung 'Arno, when she missed her purse. The suspicious movements of a man in front made her hasten her footsteps and boldly demand the stolen property. Too amazed to refuse, the thief actually handed over the purse, before starting off at good, round pace. Indignant at such broad-day robbery, the lady stopped an elegantly dressed gentleman and, in excited tones, began to pour out her grievance. Merely waiting to hear ''that man stole my purse," the gallant Italian rushed afte. the thief, who promptly took to his heels. As cross streets are scarce on the Lung 'Arno, they had a good run ere the thief could dodge his pursuer. The afternoon sun of late spring day did not help the polite Florentine to keep cool, so, red-faced and out of breath, he slowly turned back to meet the English lady with profuse apologies:
 Madam, I am very, very sorry. ] did my best, but your purse is gone"
 "Oh, nor' she replied sweetly, "I have my purse. got it back from the man."
 "Got your purse back! Per Bacco What did you want, then?"
 'Want! Why, want justice.''
 It was too much, even for proverbial Italian urbanity, and, almost choking with sudden wrath, he gasped out: ''Justice! To think should have run myself into a precipitation fol justice!''

WEDDING TOUR IN A BALLOON, A Wild and Fatal Adventure In the
 Italian Alps in October


 Mime. Charbonnet, who went in a balloon on her wedding tour and was thrown out, with her husband and his friend, in the Italian Alps on October Il, last, arrived in Turin few days later. Mime. Charbonnet says that the balloon struck the glacier at three o'clock in the afternoon. The ca. went to pieces and the three occupants were thrown out, but were not badly hurt. They passed the night in the snow and ice among the Cairamella peaks, their only shelter being a tent which they made from what remained of the balloon.
 When the next day broke they began the descent of the mountain. They had gone hardly a mile when Char bonnet disappeared in a crevasse Ponta and Mime. Charbonnet wandered over the glacier during the rest of the day. In the evening Ponta fell and broke his leg. The couple passed a second night in the snow and ice, and then Mme Charbonnet went alone down the mountain to hut, where she induced two guides to go back after her husband and Ponta. Char bonnets dead body, with skull and limbs crushed, was found at the bot tom of the crevasse. Ponta was un- conscious, but revived after he was taken to the hut

A Queer Little Quaker Custom.

Near the city of Philadelphia there are a few quaint old villages where Quakers and Quaker customs are to be found just as they were in the days of good old William Penn. You have no idea how odd some of these customs are. A few days ago a New York lady was travelling through one of these little villages, and, being tired, she stopped at an old brick farmhouse to rest. I'm mediately there came out little girl, dressed all in gray, who invited her to come in the house and have cup ot tea and some cakes. When the lady had partaken of her refreshment and turned to go she offered the old-fash. toned maid in gray some candy out of a sweetmeat box which she carried at her belt.
 ''No, I thank thee," said the little one bashfully. T thank thee-but mo-"
 Please take the candy" urged the lady, '1 want to give it to you because you have been so kind to me-
 For minute the little one hesitated She put out her hand, as if yielding tc temptation, and then drew it back res olutely, as she said:
 ''I thank thee, no. I may not take the candy now, because when thee asked me first, if would have some, ] told thee no, and now may not take any until thee comes some other day. 5 IN. Y. Ledger.

Everyone His Own Life Preseryer.

The children of Italian beggars are often seen to be covered with tumors and wens, while otherwise they are perfectly healthy. An inquisitive sur geon has found the cause of the swell ing. It is a trick of the father or mother to appeal the more strongly to the charity of the world. With an in- strument like hypodermic syringe the skin is punctured and the breath is blown into it, causing it to stand out like tumor or other excrescence in a way that would deceive almost anyone Dr. Sylvester, an English physician, has made practical use of the discovery by converting a mans skin into life preserver. His method is to puncture the flesh of the cheek, from the inside of the mouth, until the small holes reach to the outer skin. By then clos ing the mouth and blowing hard the cheeks are filled with air, so that per- son seems to have little balloon on each side of the face. It is almost i'm possible to sink in that condition. After leaving the water a gentle pres sure of the hand forces out the air and the cheek resumes the normal shape. It is therefore possible for every man to be his own life preserver.- American Register.

THE WOES OF ICELAND.
Things Seem to Be Going from Bad to
 WOrSe Thero.

Things Seem to Be Going from Bad to
 Worse There.
 The accounts which have just reached Europe from that most dis tressful island in the Arctic seas give us little reason to hope that anything can be done to remedy the woes of Ice land essentially. Like most of the re- mainder of the world, that remote lit tie country has enjoyed this year an almost unprecedented wealth of sun light and heat, says the London Satur- day Review. The brief Icelandic sum- mer can have rare beauty of it's own and that of 1893 has been enchanting. Steady drought in June, rains in July, and warm, dry weather again in August, brought on the hay to great advantage, and the latest batch of let ters speak of the harvest as unusually promising. Almost everywhere along the coast the fisheries have been ex- cellently successful. It is plain, there fore, that for once Iceland has had a chance from the weather, which has of late years been its most cruel enemy.
 If a succession of good seasons like the present had occurred dozen years ago Iceland might have been saved. But especially since the political agita- tions of 1885, which disturbed and dis couraged the population, things have been going materially from bad to worse. We are occasionally called upon to listen to jeremiads about Ice landic starvation from those whose sentiment for the Icelanders is more active than their information is exact, and the English public has become suspicious of cries of ''Wolfr' But the present season, with it's excellent weather and good supplies of food, has not shown any reaction against the draining away of the people. This summer no fewer than six hundred persons emigrated to America, bring ing the population below that limit of seventy thousand to which it had al- ready dwindled. The island now con- tains, it is believed, fewer inhabitants than it did in 1870, before the tenn porary rise in Icelandic prosperity. The emigrants are largely of the farm laborer class, and there is growing complaint that portions of the country are going out of cultivation because there is no one to work on the land.
 The great geyser has been very sluggish this year, and it is believed that weather which is excellent for crops acts in deplorable way upon this class of phenomena. It is by her extraordinary sights and by the visit ors drawn to see them that Iceland must hope to live.

President Harper Says the Educators of
 America Are Sadly Underpaid.
 President w. R. Harper, of the Chi cago university, analyses in the Forum statistics of salaries paid to professors in one hundred and twenty-four Amer ican colleges. College professors, com pared with Pennsylvania mill hands, it seems are sadly underpaid. At some iron mills the entire laboring force is paid quite as high as many college pro- fessors. Only the highest class of pro- fessors are to be compared with the lower grades of responsible officers of a railroad, industrial corporation or insurance company. President Harper makes a strong plea for college pen sions and thinks the average pay should be raised from S1, 400 to S2, ,O0O.
 The salaries of the lower class of professors, says Dr. Harper, compare with the wages of the skilled work men employed in the mechanical in dustries. The salaries that range up-

river recalls the fact that ii has been
some time since this treacherous stream,
second only to the Brazos, has been on a
rampage. The writer was raised on its
banks, near the town of La Grange, and
recOlectS the loss and restitution which
followed those of go, II and 'S5. In 1869
the water came into the lower story of the
courthouse building and nearly destroyed
the public records. This lasted nearly
two weeks and transportation by small
boats was the only means Of locOmOtiOn.
The merchants moved their stocks into
upper stories and business. though not as
brisk, was continued. This was followed
by the yellow fever, which laid waste the
lower Colorado and extended as far north
as Bastrop. Truly the people of this sec.
tion have much to fear from the rising of
the river.

With plenty of water in the Mitchell

shooting this winter for ducks.
The fine for shooting anywhere on the
grounds of the San Antonio Gun club, un-
less at the score, is one dollar. The
temptation to shoot plover that were fly

set the good example and let a flock of
