knowledge Of the affair We have
made personal investigation of the

Prices of Provisions In Rome.

Ipay for kerosene oil 1925 a gal

the incest of native wines, 80 cents a
gallon. Sugar costs 30 cents a pound
and salt s cents fhis last is govern
ment monopoly and can only be
bought at tobacconist's). A good
sized roasting chicken, big enough
for the dinner of three people, was
bought for 45 cents. Three heads Of
lettuce sold for cents, and 5 cents
worth of potatoes puts us through
the day. Philomena, a superior serv-
ant, is considered very well paid at
81 a month, and her helper receives
only 81.
Meat, vegetables, eggs, milk and
butter are all very cheap, but gro
ceries and all imported goods are
enormously dear. Labor is cheap in
every form, while fuel and light are
so extravagantly expensive that they
come under the head of Injuries.
We burn nothing but wood, which
is sold by the passo, a ridiculously
small amount, which costs 81 and
will keep two open fires supplied

A Secret of the Sea
- 1880.
BY H. a.


At the foot of the bare brown cliffs,
Half hid in the drifted sand
With the rack OF the sea for winding sheet
And the moan Of the waves on the strand
Sobbing a dirge DER the resting place
OF a secret of wreck and woe,
Lies a broken mast and a few poor timbers
BY which like sentinels guarding a city
The sea gulls come and go.
Sad story these battered fragments
Bring from some dreary wreck
A tale of a ship with noble souls
And midnight watch on deck
Mid the whistle and howl of the storm fend,
With the sea a raging hell:
Not star to guide through the awful night
Naught save the shrek of the sea birds white
And the sound of a distant bell.
Through the roaring. seething turmoil.
Through the blast of the driving spray,
Washed by the seas and rudderless
She drifts on her fatal way.
Till lighthouse lantern CLEANS through the
fog,
And she reels from mighty shock.
Then plunges and rolls as in mortal pain,
While the wind laughs loud at its sport again
And the mad waves wildly mock.
A rush of angry waters,
Rending the doomed wood,
Fierce struggles for life, vain prayers TO save
From death meath the ravening flood;
And spirits loosed from the storms of life
Like the passing of a dream.
Some wreckage cast from the oceans breast
AT the foot of the bare brown cliffs to rest
Where the lonely sea birds scream.

FEW people realize the enormous
amount of money that has been ever
lastingiy lost by strikes in the United
States. The Senate committee on Ed
ucation and Labor, which has favor
ably reported Senator Perkins bill for
the creation of commission of twenty
one persons to arbitrate all disputes be-
tween employees and large employers OF
labor, made an investigation covering
a period Of six years ending with the
recent Brooklyn strike, the result of
which is embodied in its report to the
senate on this bill. According to the
figures of the committee, and its mem
bers say they are very conservatively
made up, the known losses through
strikes during the period mentioned
have aggregated $98, 800, 1853.

His Evil Eye ouailed the Italians.

One Of the many superstitious fears
that render the laborers from sunny
Italy so generally docile was recently
taken advantage of by shrewd Irish
foreman employed on public job.
There was misunderstanding likely
to result in a general strike, and he
assembled the men together, listen
ing patiently to their statement of
grievances. When they concluded,
he called to his side the bookkeeper
of the contractor, a man with pene-
trating dark eyes, one of them quite
still because it was artificial. The
foreman stated with emphasis the
only terms upon which he would
compromise, and the bookkeeper
kept his "evil eye" fixed on the
crowd. The terms were accepted
without a murmur, and the crowd
hastily dispersed. The bookkeeper
was entirely unconscious of perform
ing any part in determining the con-
troversy Philadelphia Record.

Women in India are as fond of the
play as their sisters in the occident,
but owing to the peculiar handicaps
of oriental life, SO far as women are
concerned. their indulgence in the
amusement is attended with some
embarrassment. A clever CORE
spondent of the London Graphic de-
scribes play she was permitted to
attend. The space Immediately be-
fore the footlights that is occupied
in our own theaters by the orchestra
is given over to the feminine portion
of the audience, who have seats sunk
a trife below those of the first rows,
while to further propitiate eastern
propriety high screen of wood is
interposed. The play began at 8
o'clock and lasted till 2 in the morn
ing. The female characters are, of
course, all taken by men, who are,
however, wonderfully successful in
their makeup and impersoEation.

This is n story of an express company,
two screens and a name. There was only
n name, though there were two fam
lilies. That nobody may know what the
name was it shall be called Dare. The head
of one family was NJ. Dare. The head Of
the other family was NJ. Dare.
To the summer home on Staten Island
of Mr.. NJ. Dare-Mr. Manley Dare it was
came one day two screens from a New
York dealer, express charges collect"
The family wasn't at home, but one of the
servants paid the express charges, and
when Mrs. Dare came in she looked the
screens over. There was nothing remark
able about them, II she did not want
any screens, but she set them up. That
evening at dinner she spoke to her hus-
band about them,
My dear, she said, the screens are
very nice, and no doubt l can make use of
them, but what put it into your head that
we wanted any screens?"
Screens" said her husband. ''What
screens; l don't know anything about
screens" And explanations followed.
The next day the screens came down.
They were bundled up and returned tc
the express company, with the suggestion
that they must be for Mr.. NJ. Dare, but
not Mr.. Manley Dare, if you please. Mr..
NJ. Dare, as well as Mr.. NJ. Dare-Man.

How Turks Pray For the Inhdefs.
The following is an exact transla-
ton from the Arabic of the official
prayer of Islam, which is used
throughout Turkey and daily repeat
ed in the Cairo Azhar university by
10, 900 Mohammedan students from
all lands:
II seek refuge with Allah from
Satan, the accursed. In the name OF
Allah the Compassionate, the Merci.
full! o Lord of all Creatures! o AL.
lah! Destroy the lnfidelS and poly.
theists, thine enemies, the enemies
of the religion! o Allah! Make their
children orphans, and defle their
abodes, and cause their feet to slip,
and give them and their families,
and their households and their WON.
en-, and their children, and their rel
atives by marriage, and their broth.
ers, and their friends, and their pos.
sessions, and their race, and theil
wealth, and their lands, as booty to
the moslems, o Lord of all Crea
tures!'-
In all the other religions of even
the semicivilized nations of the globe
there can be no prayer found to par
allel this cruel appeal of Islam to the
spirit of inhumanity. Bulgaria, Da
mascus, Lebanon and Armenia may
or may not be mere hotbeds of anti
Turkish intrigue. With such a ma
tional prayer Turkey stands sell
condemned before the world. Phil
