Italians In tho United states.

There are obout 1000. 900 Italians in
he United States. One-third of them
are settled In the principal cities.
Half Of these are laborers. Fifty per
cent are illiterate. They are hard and
steady workers. very saving and anx-

they have no chance to work at their
own trade they will accept any other
kind of work and any wages. The
Italians hate begging. Has any read

A Great Drainage Scheme.

To reclaim the Zuider Zee has been
favorite project in Holland for many
years. From time TO time plans have
been suggested and abandoned and
the scheme has been much discussed.
Now, it is said, a plan has been ap-
proved by the government and is
awaiting the action Of the states-gen-
eral. The present plan is to build a
dixie across the narrow entrance OF the
Zuider Zee. which shall be fifteen feet
above ordinary water level. Several
rivers discharge into this arm Of the
sea. A lake will be left for their wa
tsrs to empty into and canal pro-
tected by tide locks will permit the
lake to discharge into the ocean at low
water. The cost of the work will be
Sl33,O00,000, but as three thousand
square miles, or 100000 acres oi
land will be reclaimed, that sum would
still leave considerable profit. AT
800 per acre the land would be worth
$l92,0O0,0O0.
The people of the Low Countries, or
Netherlands, have preserved their
homes by constant contest with the
ocean. The Zuider Zee was once a
low, marshy country, into which the
sea broke its way centuries ago. Its
depth is not great, varying from three
to twenty-five feet. If the plan Of
retaining is carried out, number Of
towns now on the water will be left
inland. But it is proposed to connect
these with the sea by canals. The
largest similar enterprise in which
Holland has engaged was the draining
Of HARLEM lake, by which operation
nearly fifty thousand acres Of fertile
land was reclaimed.

Capturing Mosby.

The truth of the following comical
war story is vouched for by lis narra-
tor, John Esten Cooke. A body OF
Federal cavalry had approached very
near the Confederate lines, and two or
three of them who had gone to forage
came to cabin in the woods, and after
careful reconnOitering raped at the
door. A negro woman answered the
knock and seemed very much disturbed
at the sight of the blue coats,
I'VE want some supper.
Yes, sir.
But first, is there anybody here p
mo, sir.
Are you sure ?"
ooh, they amt nobody here but me
-, cept-."
Except who?"
"Only Colonel Mosby, sir. "
Colonel Mo.by = exclaimed the
speaker, with at least three exclama-
tion points in his accent and getting
hastily into his saddle.
Are you Joking" he added.
You'd better not. Is Colonel Mosby
here ?"
"Yes-es, sir, stammered the woman
in great terror, and at the same mo-
ment low noise like that produced
by the foot-step Of man was heard
inside.
No sooner did the men hear this
than they turned their horses heads
and galloped off to their command,
where great excitement at once ensued.
1t was necessary to act with caution.
Mosbys desperate courage was well
known, and he would make all the
stouter resistance because he was sure
to be hanged to the first tree if he were
captured--as "bushwacker' and an
outlaw.
Elaborate preparations were made,
the cabin surrounded, and the door
suddenly burst open. Men rushed IN
with cooked pistols. but no rebel was
to be found.
Where is Mosby ?" thundered the
officer.
"Oh, there he is, was the trembling
reply of the woman.
where"
There, sir, and the woman point
ed to the cradle.
"What do you mean p
ooh, sir ! don't mean-I didn't
mean nothin' l call him Mosby, sir
Colonel Mosby, sir-thats his name,
sir.
Awaiting her doom she stood trenb-
ling before the intruders. They, on
their part, looked from the women to
the baby, sucking away at his thumb
scowled, growled, took another look,
saw that the old woman had told the
truth; then they burst out laughing,
took to their horses and were soon out
of sight.
