Women and Learning.

Statistics collected by the regents Of
the University of New York shows that
in the secondary schools there are 49,, :
556 girls Of academic grade and 18, 243
boys. Last year more than two-thirds
Of the 438 honor certificates went to
girls. In the colleges there are 2,92S
girls and 4,043 in the professional and
technical schools. Many other young
women are studying law, medicine,
painting and music. The United States
census Of 1890 gave the number Of wom-
en- teachers as 23S, S97. In their report
upon these statistics the regents remark,
"The remarkable development of wom-
ans higher education is due to wide
spread recognition that a college course
is needed as the best preparation for
wifehood, motherhood and home life as
much as for professional life."

IfGuilty, Forgiveness Is Assured.

= mortality among newspapers in
the lifted States during the past 18
months has been something almost un-
precedented In New York state alone
273 newspapers suspended between
June, 1893, and June, 1894. For the first
time since 1869 the total number cata.
logued by the newspaper directory is
less than for the preceding year. This
is said to be due to hard times caused
by the Democratic free trade panic. but
this is one of the things for which that
party will most assuredly be forgiven.

inexpensive cigar, and just here it is
not amiss to suggest that Russell should
smoke tobies, which would furnish his
tobacco solace for the small sum of three

While at the cigar stand, fishing around
his not at all fashionable costume for
the requisite coin, an acquaintance ar
rived and planked down 10 cents for an
imported weed. The cunning old manip-
ulator Of the destinies Of Wall street
lambs saw an opportunity here to make
turn in the cigar line. Producing a
dime, he laid it beside the acquaint-
ance's 10 cents and then suggested to
said acquaintance to order two for a
quarter. AS the brand the gentleman
wanted retailed for Is cents straight or

kissing the Pope's Toe.

Our old friend, Felix Campbell, one
of Brooklyn s intelligent representatives
in congress, has been honored with an
interview with the pope, and when ask
ed if he kissed the pope's toe he laughed
and said, II guess that's not done much
nowadays" +" Brother Campbell is mis-
taken. 1t is just as much done as ever
In other words, it never was DONE The
pope wears on his slipper gold cross,
and this it is customary with the faith
full to kiss I was surprised to learn
that the pope conversed with Brother
Campbell's daughters in French. The
custom is for him to address those whom
he honors with private audiences in Ital-
ian, which is translated always by an
interpreter. Joe Howard.

not play an American national air be-

SCENES IN NAPLES.
Some of the Incidents of the Street Life Of
the Neapolitans.

Some of the Incidents of the Street Life of
the Neapolitans.
The commonest people Of Naples sell
dom buy anything from the stores or
shops, but patronize peddlers and street
hawkers almost exclusively. At the port.
able kitchen booths bill Of fare is Of
fered to the hungry wayfarer that is
laughingly reasonable in price and
varied in kind. Besides the ever present
macaroni the principal articles Of food
are the frutti di mare, "sea fruits, ill.,
Guiding mussels, polypi and sea spiders,
all regarded as most tempting delicacies
by the ever hungry lazzaronie
Then there are roasted fishes of all
kinds, maize dumplings, so called
spighe, and finally the national meat
food, called braccinole, which is really q
dumpling or cake made of lamb meat
and lard. Snail soup is another delioacy
as we'll as cheese with bacon (la pizza).
Like all southerners, the Neapolitans
show marked fondness for sweets of
all kinds, and they would be quite lost
without their portion Of struffoli, a
rather tough cake made principally Of
honey. Then nothing appeals to the laz-
zaroni appetite so insidiously as the IA
nous Easter cake of Cassatello, which
is sprinkled most temptingly with fluid
pork fat, and in which whole eggs are
baked, shell and all, a questionable
dainty to uneducated palates.
The lazzaroni women are seldom
beautiful and generally not even pretty.
They are usually poorly built, with
swarthy compilations and irregular fea-
lures. Now and then one finds lustrous
pair of eyes Of great beauty, but rarely.
The Neapolitan women are not to be
compared with the women of the coun.
try as seen in Rome and in the Cam
pagna, whose trim figures, graceful
movements and frequently oharmingly
fascinating faces so often greet the eye
Of the traveller. Their fullness Of form,
proud bearing and fine proflles are all
conspicuously absent in the wives Of the
lazzaroni. And how could 1t we'll be
otherwise? Are they not beasts Of bur.
den" for "beasts of burden9" Are the
facchini, by reason of their occupation,
much more than this?-Home and Coun-

Time He Met Mr. German.
Senator Hill tells an interesting story
about the first time he ever saw Senator
German. 1t was long before they both
became famous, and the incident was
not recalled until Senator Hill became
fellow senator with the Maryland lead
er, and it was found that both were very
fond of the national game of baseball.
"It was back in the sixties, said
Senator Hill, "when everybody was in
terested in baseball. There was o con.
vention in New York city. The cities
along the Atlantic coast attended. I
was delegate from Elmira, represent
ing the Alerts. I remember that the
president of the convention knew moth
ing about parliamentary law, and it
was not long before we were in tangle
and with no prospect of being extricat-
ed. Then they got little fellow in the
chair who knew all about the way to
handle convention, and he soon had
down, I tell you. forgot who he was
and never recalled until after coming to
Washington, when was talking about
the meeting with Senator German, and
he said he was there and presided. And
he was. He represented the old Nation
ais of Washington. -
While there are other senators who
enjoy baseball, none are such devotees
as Senators Hill and German. The
Maryland senator has not found time to
indulge his inclination this season, as
he has been too busy getting tariff
bill through the senate, which Senator
Hill has been trying to defeat Mr.. Hill

The Light of the Lightning Bug" I"

OF late the naturalists have been los
ing sleep and filling great deal of val
liable magazine space in discussing the
causes that produce the light emitted
by firefies. AS is generally the case
where much study and investigation is
involved, there is wide difference of
opinion. One school Of scientists trace
the phenomenon to the nervous system
of the insect; another to his respiration,
while third school have prepared an
article of 6, 900 words to prove that the
light is entirely dependent upon the
poor bugs circulation. The burden of
evidence seems to be in favor of those
who claim that the luminous tissue is
made up of fat globules, which are in.
termittently acted upon by the oxygen
OF the air and the PHOSPHORUS of the
creatures body.-St. Louis Republic.

ENCOURAGING SIGNS.

They Relate TO the business Outlook and
Are Seen by the Coal Barons.
At the Fifth Avenue hotel yesterday
and at the Hamburg American dock in
Hoboken there was large gathering Of
Leisenrings Kemmerers, Wentzes,
Fighters and other coal barons" of the
Lehigh valley to say goodby to Mr.. E.
B. Leisenring, president of the Lehigh
Coal Navigation company, whose fail
ing health has at length caused him to
lay down the immediate supervision Of
his vast business interests and go to Eu-
rope for recuperation and recreation.
Talking with these coal barons, was
much interested to find that they are
taking very hopeful view of the busi-
ness situation and that quite apart from
the fact that the great anthracite coal
industry in which they are more special
ly interested has had more than its
share of prosperity during the long sea-
son when the bituminous coal regions
all over the country were blighted by q
strike of most comprehensive proper
tions.
Mr.. M. s. Kemmerer said that the
most encouraging sign to his mind was
the improvement in the iron industry,
branch of business closely allied to
coal mining, and the two together hav-
ing much to do with the general pros
perity of the country. A day or two ago
came an order from Brazil for the man.

has been going on, there is perceptible

the last six weeks than in the preceding
Six months. M. p. Handy.

kocH,S LATEST DISCOVERY.
Dr.. Edison of New York's Board of Health
Says 1t Is o Sure Cure For Diphtheria.

Dr.. Edison of New York's Board of Health
Says It Is o Sure Cure For Diphtheria.
At a recent session of the state board
of health of New York DR.. Cyrus A.
Edison gave an account Of the theory
and practical application Of DR.. Koch's
last discovery, which he considers an
absolute and infallible cure for diph-
liberia if applied within SO hours after
infection. To study and report upon
this remedy DR.. Herman NJ. Biggs, the
bacteriologist of the New York board
Of health, had been sent to Berlin and
had just returned, confirming all the
enthusiastic reports concerning the dis
covery which had made their way to
this country.
1t was the purpose Of the health de-
partment, DR.. Edison announced, to ask
from the board of estimate and appor-
tionment a sufficient appropriation to
establish plant for the production of
this ipfallible specific, which otherwise
would be too costly to be within the
means Of poor people. DR.. Edison assert
ed confidently that if this remedy were
placed in the hands Of the health de-
partment it would save next year the
lives Of l, 800 people in this city.
The division of pathology and bacte-
riology at 42 Bleecker street gave an ex-
hibition of specimens Of bacteria under
the direction Of DR.. Biggs Autopsies
were made upon two guinea pigs which
had been inoculated with diphtheria
bacilli. The result showed that the
guinea pigs had developed the disease.
The purpose of the exhibition was
principally to encourage the medical
profession to devote particular attention
to their Investigations Of diphtheritic
and consumption cases.

A Kipling story.

This capital story some one tells Of
Kipling as illustrating very clearly the
characteristics Of the vigorous English
boy who was afterward to achieve such
widespread fame by his pen. When a
boy of IL, he went ON voyage with his
father, who, becoming desperately sea-
sick, retired to his berth, leaving young
Rudyard to his own devices. Presently
the poor father heard tremendous COM
motion over his head, and down the
companionway dashed the boatswain,
three steps at time and shouting ex-
oitedly, "Mr. Kipling, your boy has
orawled out on the yardarm, and II he
lets go he'll drown sure
"Yes, said Mr.. Kipling, falling back
On his pillow with Q sigh Of relied,
'but he won't Let 60. y
