An italian Festival.

Toward midday the crowd attains its
largest proportions; then the suspension
of the church services, hunger and
fatigue help to lessen its number.
Groups form ander the trees and picnic
others surround the ''friggitori" who
are busy frying chickens, fish, sweet
breads, rice balls and many ether COM
pounds in the boiling oil of their great
copper pans. In tho wineshops there is
much drinking going on, intermixed
with laughing, jesting, fooling, quarrel
ing, the townsfolk numerically jcer-
ing at the country people, some Of whom
laugh with and at their tormentors,
while others preserve sulky silence.
The Republicans begin to sing cboruses
which are professions Of their political
faith, TO which the socialist group re-
plies with gibes, also sung in chorus.
The simple melody once united to the
stornello, artless outpouring Of lovers
joys and sorrows, sung at happy har-
vests and merry vintages and by the Sc.
rene voices CT peasant maidcns at work
in quiet fields, is degraded and welded
to rhymed doggerel, spiced with insult
and blasphemy.
On the steep banks under the thick
lex shade many are asleep. The coun-
try women, with their smooth, closely
braided heads lying Gu their white ker-
chiefs, rest like dreaming saints in the
sleep Of the just. Ii other patches CT
shade other women are lying with di
sheveled hair and flushed faces. III all
the vulgar boldness Of holiday makers
from the town they are sleeping off the
double effects Of the sun and wine.-

Musical Sand.

Mr.. Carus Wilson found that fine sand
from Studland bay, which was sonorous
On the beach, but muto when carried
home III box, gave cut shriL note
when struck in teacup. The glazed
sides Of the cup increased the intensity
Of vibration Of the sand by increasing
tho number Of polished surfaces in con-
tact, and this was proved by putting the
same sand in various vessels with rough
interiors, and by lining the glazed and
polished vessels with silk, when it be-
came mute again. Sand Of the Elgg
type, possessing the physical conditions
necessary for the production of music
in great perfection, ARE musical in re-
ceptacles of almost any kind or form.
The smallest quantity of musical sand
from which Mr.. Wilson got true note
was thimbleful of Eigg sand. Less
perfect musical sand, such as that Of
Studland bay, was found to be usually
mute, except in stu or in vessels Of
hard, glazed interiors and of certain
definite form. Some "sulky'' sands not
only needed vessels Of hard, glazed in
teriors and of definite form, but also a
box or small pedestal of wood-a coax
er"-on which the vessel had to be
placed before the notes became audible.
A "sulky" sand could be rendered far
more musical by being sifted, washed
and boiled, giving ont notes, after this
treatment, without the aid Of the coax

Tho Last Commander.

General Nelson A Miles will prob
ably be the last Of the great generals OF
the war Of the rebellion to command the
army of the United States. He will not
reach the age limit for retirement for
eight years yet, in August, 1903, and by
that time all Of the major generals and
brigadier generals now in the active
service will have been retired. General
Ruger has but year to serve; General
Merritt retires in 1900; General Brooke,
the present senior brigadier general, III
1902; General Wheaton in 1897, Gen
eral Otis in 1902, General Forsyth in
1898 and General Bliss and General
Coppinger in 1899. 1t will thus be seen
that General Miles service, should he
live to reach the age for retirement, will
outlast all the really prominent officers
now On the active list.-Minnoapolis

Edison and tho Break

CDR. Ncrvin Grecn," says Megar-

long time president of the Western Ur-
ion Telegraph company, claimed that he
gave Edison the employment which was
the beginning Of his successful career, to
which, as IS well known, the Western
Union corporation has largely contrib
uted. Edison had been bothering the
officers of the company with Geographic
devices they had no need Of. He came
into the Office one day when it was i'm
possible to obtain communication be-
tween New York and Albany, and the
seat Of the difficulty could not be To-
Gated. He was banteringly invited to
remedy the trouble. He said he could do
SO in two hours. He was laughed at and
given two days for the task. His process
was very simple. Fo telegraphcd to
the best operator in Pittsburg and in
structed him to telegraph to the best
operator in Albany. The latter tel
egraphed his New York line down as
far as he coald, feeling his way from
point to point, and sending the results
to the Pittsburg man, who forwarded
them to Edison. In less than one hour
Edison said to the anxious officials, The
break is two miles from Poughkeepsie.
That simple method insured his status
with the Western Union people and

As matter of fact, there are plenty

which wear all the air Of responsibility,

in, the swarthy fishermen get out their
spears and muskets, and combine to

Wanted to Borrow Him.

A genial Philadelphian, who for
obvious reasons does not care to have
his name printed on this occasion,
secured parlor car seat on an ex'
press train for Reading a few days
ago, and he was. about to pass
through the gates was surprised to
hear himself accosted in feminine
tones with the startling question,
"Pleasc, mister, could | borrow you
for awhile?"
Looking around, he found two
buxom women, who hastily and hesi-
tatingly explained that they were
riding on pass made cut in the
name Of a gentleman and his wife,
and, as the gentleman was not pres
ent, they wanted the genial looking
citizen to place his bought ticket at
the disposal of one lady and take the
other one under his wing, while he
personated the absent owner Of the
pass.
(which is my wife?" he inquired,
with an inward qualm, lest his own
absent better half should ever hear
the story.
You can take your choice, sir,
said the lady in search Of an escort,
and he promptly did so by taking
the arm Of the younger fair one un-
der his own and leading her into the
car. The couple proved to be right
jolly travelling companions, and the
citizens only regret in the transac-
ton was due to fear that the story
might leak out and get home ahead
of him. Bat it didn't.

A Traitor as Essa 2s DreYrus.

The arrest of French spies in Ger
many and Of German spies in France
has long ceased to possess the element
of novelty CT to attract more than pass
ing attention. But it is nCne the less
true that an ircident of this sort, if it
came at moment Of international fer
ment, might serve to excite passions on
both sides of the Vcsges as readily now
as a quarter Of century ago. The case
of TIE mal SchwarZ, who, with his
family, has been imprisoned in Paris, is
one particularly calculated to impress
the French Imagination. If he is guilty
beyond doubts, as LIE Temps declares,
Eo is something much verse than an
ordinary spy. He is an Alsatian by
birth, served in the French army during
the war, and afterward elected to retain
his French nationality. This gave him
special claims to official consideration
and secured him good berth III the po-
lice service and decoration to boot II
also put him in the very heart Of the
patriotic clubs and societies which N.
Derouledo and his friends have organ
izsd and enabled him to learn the names
of Frcnchmen who were sent into Ger
many to spy out facts about the for
tresscs and to warn the Berlin authori-
ties Of their coming. He ranks, there
fore, II the public mind as a traitor
quite as base as Dreyfus, and at this
time Of general u2easiness his case may
easily arouse even deeper national re-
entment.--Saturday Review.

DUSE AND BERNHARDT.
The italian Actress Rises to Greater
Heights Than the FrenchwoInan.

AiAaAi SAiS Z Nii~AA ~ OAii<HA!s
AS yet Duse has permitted Us Cnly a
glimpse of her gallery Of dramatic por-
traits. Elsewhere she has achieved tri-
uluphs in plays differing as widely as
LA Femme &c Cl2ude' and LAB
besso de Jouarre Her Juliet and
Ophelia have aroused fervent enthuSi-
asln, and her Cleopatra is still bore
Of critical contention between the conf
mentators who hold that raturalneSS IS
the chiefest stage virtue ard those who
prefer the dazzling artifice Of which
Sarah Beruh&rlt is passed mistress. If
it be the first object of good acting 10
hold the mirror up to nature, the French
actress in these later days would be un
wise to dispute the palm with her Ital
ian rival The women whom she now
deDicts are, for the most part, mere
,nonstrosities, fanciful developments
from one morbid aud extravagant type.
II Duse, IN attempting some Of them,
has failed to emphasize al tie violent
and impossible contrasts Of which they
are compounded, and 10 amaze Or hor-
rify By a cry or gesture, she at least
has contrived TO impaTt tc them, by her
intUitive sense Of truth and proportion,
some celnblance of humanity. Wherever
there is a foundation Ct human heart to
work upon her power is absolute, ana
she can interpret ali moods with almost
equal facility. As has been pointed cut,
she can sound all the depths of path0S,
or simulate a paroHysm CT rage or
scoln with the same yeraCity; can en-
plUy with delightful effect all the Wilcs
of feminine seductivencss, play the CO.
guette with unsurpassablc archness and
vivacity and tread the pcrilops paths CT
the riskiest French comedy with light
ness, a sparkle, al assurance ard an
adroitncss altogether Partisan.
She possesses, moreover, in larger
measure than any other actress the pro-
team gift Of genuine impcrsonation.
With face and figure devoid Of any
peculiar characteristic, she Identifies
herself with the fictitious personality by
subtle and appropriate transformations,
III which gait, gesture, carriage and
facial expression all play their part. II
this respect, beyond question, she IS the
greatest actress of the day, and among
men Salvini alone takes rank above her
or beside her. Her powers in high trag-
edy or poetic comedy must be for Us as
yet matter fCr conjecture only.
