Bod Coup in Italy.

The Rome correspondent of the London
Morning Post says: The cabinet has re-
signed. Gen. Pellieux's action is regard
ed as a political move to make it posi-
BILE for the Marquis di Rudini to secure
a unanimous ministry. The ministers of
finance, justice and public works in the
retiring cabinet will not appear in its sue
cessor." Gen. PellieuX, minister of war,
maintains the attitude he has taken,
in consequence of the action of parlia-
ment in amending bill dealing with
army promotion against his advice, and
persists in his resignation. King Hum
bert. the Marquis di Rudini, the premier,
and the other members of the cabinet
urged Gen. Pellieux to reconsider his ac-
ten, but he refused to do so.

A Modern Sapphira.

Gertrude Turecek, n precocious New
York City child of IA years, has since May
last sustained and carried out a most
preposterous deception which would
make Ananias stand and wonder. The
child succeeded between last May and
Thanksgiving day in securing from her
father, Ferdinand Turecek, $1,4OO, all of
his savings, by saying that the money
was for President Mckinley. For six
months the girl had been obtaining
amounts ranging from $40 to SlOO on the
plea that she was lending the money to
President Mckinley, who, she said, was
staying at the Windsor Hotel and was
temporarily short of funds. The Iurecek
girl came home from school one day last
spring and told her mother that Mrs. Nc
Kinley had visited the school that day
and had taken great fancy to her. She
said that the teacher had asked her to
play the piano and recite for the Presi-
dents wife, and that Mrs. Mckinney mad
been so impressed with her talent that
she had asked the girl to call ON her at
the Windsor. The mother and father OF
the child believed her story unquestlon-
ably. The child returned from the sup
posed visit and triumphantly announced
that Mrs. Mckinley was going to adopt
her. Later she told her father President
Mckinley was pressed for ready money,
as he didn't want to use checks, and her
father gave her S100 to loan him. From
time to time, with similar stories, she Sc
cured money from her father in the same
way. The girl was lavish with her money,
and gave presents to all her friends, but
most of the things she brought home, say
ing President Mckinley had sent them.

Russia suys Army Supp les.

The report that the Russian Govern
ment is buying large quantities ST army
supplies in the United States has been
verified at San Francisco. Gable mes
sages from Vladivostock asking that mer-
chauts bid on large lots are frequently re-
ceived. Dodge, Sweeney & Co of San
Francisco received a Vladivostock cable
to figure on 1000 tons of supplies. Tray
elers arriving from Asia report that the
garrison at Vladivostock has been largely
REINFORCED by the arrival of troops on
steamers and sailing vessels from the
Black Sea. The concentration of Rus
sian troops at that point and the haste
that Japan is making to increase her pow
er on the sea leads some Of the merchants
to predict that the impending confilct be-
tween Russia and Japan may open as
early as next summer. The recent heavy
orders for army supplies to be forwarded
to Vladivostock are regarded as slgnln-
cant of important movements i'll the ori-
ent. 1t is believed that the completion OF
the Transsiberian Railroad, with its ter
minus at Vladivostock, will largely IN
crease the trade of San Francisco, and
there is talk of establishing line of
steamers to that place, touching at Alas
kan ports. A local subsidy of $1,000 n
month has already been subscribed for an
Alaskan line

An Old Dame who Narrowly Escaped
with Her Life.
Although it does not appreciate con-
fnement in a paddock, il is easy to
tame fawn and it makes delightful
pet until it attains TO years of indscre-
ton, says the Badminton Magazine A
tame roe used to follow the children
everywhere round the old castle of
Duntroon and even up the stairs ans
fellows had been obliged to give up IDS
room to a gentleman who had come 70
stay there and the surprise of the guea
was unbounded when the head and
neck of roe protruded through his
ha.f-open door Dear me-" he said,
"game must be extremely plentiful in
these parts"
Yet, just as kitten would be the most
delightful of pets except for its un-
fortunate habit of growing into a cat,
so a roe and especially buck. becomes
too much Of handful as a pet when it
grows up. Their beautiful little horns
are both sharp and dangerous and a
tame roebuck very nearly put an old
woman off the road and into the Crinan
canal by it's obtrusive attentions. It
meant no harm; it really expected to
get a lump of rock salt. with which it
had usually been rewarded for ita
earesses, but the old dame did not APP
preciate its uncanny approaches and
narrowly escaped with her life.

WOMAN'S SOPRANO VOICE.
why She Can Reach Much Higher
Tones Thnn IL Possible for Man.

The scientist who discovered in the
human larynx the anatomical reason
why woman has II soprano voice and a
man a bass one was II woman, Mrs.
Emma Seller, says the Philadelphia
Times. She was a German, born in
Wurtzburg. Left Il widow with two
children to support, she resolved to be.
come a teacher of singing. but sudden
ly lost her voice. Then she determined
to find out why; also to discover the cor
rect method of singing, so that Others
might not lose their voices. For this
purpose she studied anatomy. She dis
sected larynx after larynx and spent
years in her search, trying to find for
one thing why women's head tones
could reach high C while men had no
soprano tones AT length her search
was rewarded. She discovered undag
the microscope one day two small
wedge-shaped cartilages whose action
produces the highest tones of the hu.
man voice. She made her discovery
public. 1t excited great attention
among scientists. Her own brother, a
physician, praised the treatise in the
highest terms till he found his own
sister had written it. Then he dashed
it down. saying in rage that she would
be better attending to her houseworl.

FRENCH COOKING.
The English Feed, the Americans De-
vOur, the French Emf


vour, the French Eat.
People may sneer at judging ma
ton by the amount of attention il
pays to its stomach; but the stomach is.
after all, very important part of the
human anatomy. and those who sur
round the physical necessities of our
animal nature with agreeable charms
that make them less coarse and brutal
certainly have a claim to being consid-
cred in some degree promoters of CIV
ilization, says the Ohautauquan. 1t
is libel both upon nature and natures
God to hold that everything pleasant
is wrong and that the refinements of
life have no place in that great evolution
that is gradually raising mankind to
higher plane, even though such
reflnements descend to the accessories
of the table. II is in this respect that
French cooking is superior to all other
cooking; it is more refined. The Eng
lish feed, the Americans devour; only
the French really know how to eat.
Their meals, as a rule, are less heavy
and solid than those of other nations.
yet quite sufficient in quantity, while
the great fact that distinguishes their
cooking is their perfect comprehension
of the part played by seasoning. Like
the Gallo wit which favors their lit
erature, their thorough knowledge of
seasoning gives zest to their cooking.

THE coLoREp sRornse.
Not n Good Tenant for the Southern
Landlord.


The typical negro tenant-arrives at a
new home in mule wagon or OK cart
with bundle of rags, II frying pan and
a covey of children, and he stays with a
landlord who may have saved him from
destitution by advancing provisions and
dry goods only so long as the caprice of
the hour dictates, says Lippincott's.
Land owners who have sunk into finan-
cial ruin by mortgaging their property
have nearly always been dragged into
the slough by the effort to help their
negroes out of it. The crop made by the
average negro farmer is subject to many
contingencies besides those of the
weather. He does not hesitate to leave
his field at the most critical season il
pleasure calls him; "big meetings" he
never can resist and these take place
during the important agricultural
months of July and August, first at one
church and then at another. After the
mules have been working hard all the
week in this busy season they are often
driven ten to fifteen miles on Sundays,
carrying wagonloads of men. women
and children. long bright ribbons fly
ing out from the heads of the female
members of the family, whose hair has
been tightly plated and bound with
cords during the week in order to pro.
duce a holiday sensation in an ample
psyche-knot at the back and a bushel-
Ike roundncss in front; they appear in
fancy waists and big sleeves and regale
themselves and their friends with u
dinner of fried chicken, cake and water
melons after the meeting, rags being
good enough to wear, hoe cake and
bacon good enough to eat during the
week. Like his African ancestors, the |
American negro is miserable without
Publications and feastings; if he can
have them he will do a hard job of work
between times.
