Naples celebrates in curious man
ner Lent and the end of the Passion
week. Ropes are stretched from house
to house across the streets in the an
cient districts on the day of the carni-
val, and dolls made ofrags, wearing the
traditional Neapolitan costume, and
carrying distaf and bobbin, are sus-
pended from these ropes. At the feet
OF the spinner is attached an orange
containing seven feathers, correspond.
ing to the seven weeks Of Lent. Each
week one feather is plucked, so that
only one remains at the Holy Saturday.
Then, as soon as the cannon Of Fort
st. Elmo and the church bells announce
the noon hour and the resurrection OF
Christ, frecrackers, which have been
tied in long strings to the orange at the
dolls feet, are lighted, and che Quaresi-
ma figure explodes amid the cries Of the
crowd, wherein pious formulate and
profane phrases alternate. - N. Y.

souANDER MONEY in SKATES.
Russian Nobility Indulge In Much Ex-
travagance In Winter SPORTS

Russian Nobility Indulge In Much Elk
travagance In Winter Sports.
There is an extravagant fashion il
skates in Russia which has been making
it's way westward the last year or two
and this winter has really taken hole
upon the people in this country who car
afford 10 indulge in such expensive
caprices," said the manager of D greai
firm who turns out some tens of thou
sands Of skates every year. Il allud,
to the fancy skates of gold and silver.
'Thc year before last we had but three
orders for skates of these kinds; las
year we received eight, but this year
although there has really not been any
skating up to the present moment, we
have had orders for no fewer than %
pairs of skates in gold and five in silver
while for silver and gold plated skates
the demand this year has been almost
phenomenal.
ut is nothing more than fad, Of
course, for a pair of gold skates are nc
better than, perhaps not as good as, a
pair of best steel, but they cost more
than 100 times the money. If you pay q
guinea for a pair of steel skates you can
get them as good as you could wish, but
you certainly will not get pair of gold
skates under 6 100.
1--WE recently made pair of gold
skates for the daughter of prominent
Liverpool merchant. That the fad is
merely the outcome of desire to spend
will be seen from the fact that she was
not content to have them of solid gold
and highly chased but had them so mas
sive TINT they weighed half as much
again as was necessary.
"A great number of orders for skates
of this kind come to us from abroad
The other day we dispatched three pairs
of golden skates to st. Petersburg, and
we have in hand for a lady residing in
this city pair to be made of gold and
set with diamonds, which we estimate
will be worth G 800 when finished.
"That sounds like an enormous sum
for such an article, does it not? But
there are more than one pair of skates
worth more than five or six times that
amount. The wife of Russian minis
ter has pair which are valued at 6 IL
900. We had them to repair two years
ago. They were clumsy things, gold,
set with diamonds and emeralds, and
obviously only to look snowy; no one
could have used them with any degree OF
comfort. Then some rich Americans
have skates valued at from 5000 to $10,-
900, and, now the fashion has begun in
England, ! dare say we shall go one bet
ter. We have already made pair OF
gold skates set with a tracing Of small
pearls for an English customer, which
cost q 70O."-London Tit-Bits.

4 ANouAoE SPOKEN BvTHE CATS

Investigation Reveals They Have Quite
nm Extensive Vocabulary
Since the domestication OF the animal
there has never been doubt that cats
possessed language that they some
times employed with more liberality
than the occasion seemed TO demand
But IL is a new theory that the smooth
and liquid passages in our poets are
founded primarily on the accents OF
cats, and that the latter Is the com
pietest illustration of vocal and lingual
harmony which nature affords. The
popular idea has always been quite the
contrary. But the notion is serious

like Chinese, "both being musical, mel.
lifiuous and pleasing to the senses
a proposition which will command at
tention on account of its novelty, and
may be concurred in by the cats and
the Chinese themselves, but is certain
of indignant and spontaneous rejection
by all other animals and men. In other
respects the similarity between the two
dialects may possess higher degree OF
FEASIBILITY. For instance, the same
word in Chinese means several hundred
different things, according to the in
Election, and Prof. Clark asserts that
the same thing may be said of the
various yowls through which the cat

FOR COUNTRY'S SAKE.
An Indian Fighter Suffers Agoniee
from Disease.
He Was In the Battle with the Apaches
When Geronimo Was Captured.
From the Press. Ne,c York City.

FROM We fTcSs, NeO fOh Guy.
Worn with the exposure of army life on
the frontier, and poisoned by the continual
drinking of alkali water, Joseph Flegauf
returned to Philadelphia eight years ago,
broken down In health and unable to do
any work.
He had served five years with the Ninth
United States Infantry in many desperate
fight with the Indians in Arizona and other
frontier States and had won an enviable
record. In the fierce conflict when Geron-
limo, the famous chief of the Apaches, was
captured, Mr.. Flegauf was among the brave
soldiers who, forgetful of everything but
duty, charged'upon the hostile Indians:
Life on the plains sent to an untimely
death many soldiers who were never touched
by redskins bullet or arrow, and Mr. Fle-
gauf came near such fate as that. A long
time before his time was out he was taken
seriously ill, but he stuck to his post until
an honorable discharge was finally given to
him.
tighter was scarcely more than, skin and
bones, and for three weeks lay desperate
ly i'll in hospital. He felt dizzy, and his
stomach felt as II it had dried up. These
symptoms were accompanied by bloody
dysentery, which no medicine seemed to re-
lieve.
After two years of suffering, Mr.. Flegauf
came to New York and was treated by sew
eral physicians. These did not agree, some
calling bis disease catarrh of the stomach,
and others chronic diarrh9a.
In speaking to a reporter about his illness
Mr.. Flegauf said the doctors helped him,
but, with all the money he spent for advice
small part of the time. Since moving to
his present home, No 5l7 West Forty-sec-
ond Street, in New York, about q year ago,
Mr.. Flegauf has been SO Ill that his voice
