Kur.l Ys.li.n Peasant.

We hsve been seeing the agricul.
tural side Of this peoples life in quiet,
little known valleys of northern Italy,
and more and more have they impressed
as by their industry and amiability.
For friendlipess perhaps they have NO
equals except the Irish psasantry, and
for indefatigable labor of the most
ardnous and detailed and mental kind
surely they cannot be surpassed. Every
available foot of land, sometimes re-
claimed from the barren rock, some
times, as here, lying along the river
bank in fats drained by little canals
cut deep in the soil, bears witness. in
its perfect neatness Of cultivation, TO
the patient labor Of this people. Women
were to be seen every day in the Val
Violence, not far from Bormio, carrying
on their backs huge baskets of manure
for fields hundreds of feet above the val
leys, up steep zigzag paths. Every few
yards rest is necessary, and the weight
is temporarily removed by resting the
baskets upon the low stone walls, against
which the tired. bearers themselves
lean. Thus they gradually, but always
cheerfully, get their burdens up the
mountain sides. In other places, these
baskets may Be seen full Of earth, which
is to cover some rocky plateau a few
yards square, and make it ready for
planting, in the south with olive or
fruit trees in the north with fax OF
grass.-New York Post.

Boy "Heroincs."

All those divine creatures, those her.
Dimes of Shakespeare, were acted in his
day, and for some time afterward, by
youths and yoEng men. May we not
fancy that this hard condition was a
sorrow to Shakespeare. who, of all men,
must most keenly have felt how much
better his godlike women could have
been realized by actresses? IL must have
been hard for boys to turn their u ecu-
line natures to favor and to prettiness
when they had to enact wonderland
such women! Shakespeare must have
longed to see the boards trodden by the
light foot of woman, with her incom-
parable grace and witchery and feeling
What manner Of youth could be found,
even in Elizabeth's time, worthily to
personate the divinity Of womanhood?
We know next to nothing Of these boy
women actors, but a demand creates a
supply, and they may have been mere
satisfactory than we can well imagine.
They must have been handsome-deli-
cately handsome Maya

He Wanted His Discharge.

In regiment in India private want
ed to get home, and saw no other way
than shamming deafness. He reported
himself sick, and was sent to the hospi-
tai. The doctors tried all sorts of ways
to find him out, but he was too sharp
for them. One day the doctor deter
mined to try him by firing pistol of
just behind him, but he got to hear CT
the experiment, and of course was pre-
pared for it.
As he and his chum were sitting on
their cots opposite each other smoking,
the doctor stole into the room, unawares
as he thought, and fred the pistol close
to his ear. He, however, took no notice
Of the report. but ON seeing the smoke
he turned to his chum and said:
"Put your pipe out, you fool, the
doctor will be round directly"
His ruse worked. 3 Weekly.

He was cheerful looking citizen
He nodded pleasantly to the conductor.
and then felt in his pockets for change.
He went through one after another,
found none, and looked less cheerful
Finally he took pocketbook from his
breast pocket. and picking a S. bill
from the roll handed il to the conduct
or, apologizing at the same time. The
conductor snatohed the bill and looked
ugly. He counted cut the change in
chicken feed, as small coins are called
on the railroads. and showed it into tho
mans hand with a 'Take itP' Then he
turned to another passenger on the plat
form and began to talk loud enough for
the other to hear about "hogs" who
rode on cars.
Ibid ye see that fellow that Just give
mo the bill:" he said. "Well, he's a
skin. ye know. That's an old game.
They git on car with S. bill and
hand it to the conductor. Nine times
out of ten tho conductor don't have the
change and tho man rides free. I know
this fellow. Two had him a dozen
times"
"See here, my friend" said the man
who had had tho bill changed. his face
as red cs beet, you're id liar. "
Tho conductor looked startled. The
man repeated the declaration and pro-
ceeded:
Il want to tell you, sir, that you
have spoiled as coed friend as the
street railroad men ever had. Two been
their friend for 20 years. When passen-
gers kicked at them, / always figured
that if there was any trouble it was the
passengers own fault. When friends
told me Of rows they had, 1 always said
We'll, it's hard job on the back plat
form of a cur. The man was only doing
his duty Now, I've been the friend of
the railroad men through thick and
thin. When they have struck. I've been
with 'em. But you're an internal liar,
sir, an internal liar. The next railroad
man that sasses mo will get punched in
the jaw. Do you hear, sir? Punched in
the jaw Punched!'
The cheerful citizen was fairly dane
ing with rage.
well, ye needn't get hot about it, -
said the conductor, and he went in and
| collected fare. The cheerful citizen
got off the car muttering to himself. -

Hit and Miss Mind Reading.

1t is told Of young man in this city
that he called on his best girl the other
evening. As conversation became dull
they sat on the sofa at opposite ends,
and, after silence of considerable du-
ration, evidently spent by both in hard
Thought, she mustered up courage enough
to ask him what he was thinking about.
He. hoping to please her, replied:
II was thinking of the same thing

A wea.ers Hypnotic Power.

A London correspondent writes: A
friend on whose word can rely told me
the following: He saw a lark flying
above the turnpike road. fluttering some
four or five feet above the ground in
evident distress. AS he looked he saw a
weasel in the middle Of the road waiting
for the bird to come down. This it did,
falling helplessly close to the animal.
which killed it and carried it away.
This incident seems to show that q
weasel has some fascination in his eye.

the BEST
SPRING MEDICINE

IS SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR-don't
forget to take it. The Liver gets sluggish
during the Winter, just like ali nature,
and the system becomes ohoked up by
the accumulated waste, which brings on
Malaria, Fever and Ague and Rheuma-
tism. You want to wake up your Liver
now, but be sure you take SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR to do it. 1t also
regulates the Liver-keeps il properly at
work, when your system will be free from
poison and the whole body inyigorated.
You get THE BEST BLOOD when
your system is in Al condition, and that
will only be when the Liver is kept active.
Try Liver Remedy once and note The
difference. But take only SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR-it is SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR which makes the
difference. Take it in powder or in liquid
already prepared, or make a tea of the
powder; but take SIMMONS LIVER REGU-
LATOR. You'll find the RED I on every
package. Look for it.
