The so-called bread riots that lately
took place in Milan and other cities Of
Italy indicated a condition Of affairs
that was more desperate than ap-
peared on the surface. It Is true that
the people were suffering for bread, for
It so happened that In every great
wheat-producing country In the world
the crop Of 1897 was short one. In
Germany, France and England, where
a considerable portion of the wheat
consumed is usually Of domestic pro-
duction, almost the entire consumption
had to be obtained abroad. The store
houses, besides the United States, from
which those countries have depended
for their wheat have been Russia. In
dia, Egypt and Argentina, but last
year Russia had no surplus to export,
India had very little, Egypt next to
none, and Argentina harvested only
enough for home consumption. The
result was that bread was dear and the
people were hungry. Italy was in q
worse situation than any Of the coun-
tries importing wheat for domestic
consumption. She had impoverished
herself by attempting to maintain
standing as military and naval pow
er that was beyond her possibilities.
What Germany and France did, Italy
strove to duplicate. She wished to be
classed as one Of the great powers Of
Europe, and she drew the life blood out
Of her people In the attempt, realizing
only failure. She entered into triple
alliance with Germany and Austria,
and tried to maintain position of
equality with each. With population
Of about 3O,OOO,O0O, she kept perma-
nent peace establishment Of 216,235
men, with compulsory reserve Of
1911 900. The members Of this re-
serve, while not constantly in service,
were compelled to spend from three to
nineteen years in the army, which was
a fearful drain on the productive ener-
gfes Of the country. Besides this large
number Of soldiers the italian navy
had 21,724 men on the active list and
$4,000 on the reserve list, making to-
tai of nearly 2,250,OO0 men who were
not only withdrawn from the various
Industries Of the kingdom. but had to
be supported in idleness. The result
was that general stagnation in bust
ness and enormous taxation were uni
versal In the country, labor was unem-
ployed, and those who found work re-
ceive starvation wages. The increase
in the price of bread, even though
small, brought want and hunger to
people who are always on the verge of
starvation. The high price Of bread
was only an incident that drove the
people to riots which showed the really
intolerable condition Of affairs all
over Italy. That country was attempt
ing to do what the frog did when It
sought to rival the OK, and possibly
similar result may follow the attempt.

The more closely Admiral Dewey's
victory In Manila Bay is studied, the
closer becomes the evidence that 1t was
due not so much to the peculiar posses

professional training. An experienced

the contest at sea was less between
ships than between men-a comment
strikingly borne out in the battle Off
CaVite.

DR.. Frederick III. Wines, OF Illinois,
has been discussing the subject of the
youth OF the prisoners in the penal In
situations Of the United States, and his
conclusions show that the convicts OF
the country are more youthful set Of
men than 1t is generally supposed they
are. OF the $500 prisoners in the
country one-eighth are to be found in
New York, Pennsylvania and Massa-
chusetts. The average age Of the pris-
oners was under 81, and nearly one
half were under 30, about third under
% and nearly one-eighth under 20. The
average age Of the public pauper Is 81
years. The average age Of a negro
prisoner Is 27h years, Of native white
prisoner 80 years and Of foreign white
prisoner 81 years and 8 months. The
youth Of these convicts raises the
queries whether they are born Grimm.
ais, and, If not, what has driven them
to life of crime at SO early an age!
If they have become evildoers through
force of circumstances, what proper
ton Of them can be saved by proper
treatment, so that they will become
law-abdding citizens? It Is matter Of
no little Importance that the Volunteers
of America have undertaken to deal
with all the questions involved In this
condition Of affairs, in practical way,
with q view to rescuing these young
criminals when they shall have COM
pleted their term Of servitude. The
directors Of this movement assume that
in the hearts Of most Of these men there
Is q sincere wish to live better lives,
and that II the opportunity Is given
them very many will embrace 1t aud
become upright and reputable citizens.
At the New York State reformatory
at Elmira the system Of manual train
ing has been introduced to educate the
degenerates to work, 1t being proved
that they have been led into lives Of
crime through associations that have
brought about a total adherence of
honest labor. The system employed
tends to q civilization of the will
as well as the education Of the hand,
and 80 far it has been remarkably sue
cessful.

liams, of Freeport, Ohio, and a stu
dent of the Western Theological Sem
mary. In his own words, it is "a
tribute from one who remembers with
love one alike beautiful in life and
beautiful in DEATH The subject, it
will be remembered, was the daughter
of j. Polk Smith, who died about IA
yeal ago:
| If she had gone forever from our side
| If her last look had been the last she would
Let inger on our faces-when she died
o life where was thy Joy? 0 love, thy
good?
If she had fallen asleep to dream away
The cons of eternity, no more
To wake to see the rising of that day
Which we had hoped CLOVIS always on
Gods shore,
What balm could heal the broken heart
what peace,
Though Geep as sea asleep could linger
near,
And ever cause the numbing pain to cease?
What light could light earths darkness
cold and drear?
If we had thought when closed her eyes that
night,
That she we loved had gone forever-gone
Into the dark Of death, out from our sight =
That we her face should never look upon,
o God where were thy comforts now? what
word
Of love could tighten aught the deepening
gloom,
If She whose slightest word our heartstrings
stirred,
Must lie forever in a narrow tomb?
But faith lighted taper stretched out,
Whose light broke thro the dark and
scattered far
The clouds Of deep despair and deeper doubt
Showed Thee her Pilot, when she crossed the
bar.
We know Thou gavest life, and He who
art
Who took'st the light to shine around Thy
throne
Thoult lay the balm of peace upon the heart
And bid us know she is among thine own.
She Is not dead nay, for she lives with
Thee.
There is no death; It's but change from
gloom
10 light which CLOVIS in thine eternity;
Death has no victory, nor power the tomb
a rose too beautiful and all too fral
Bioomed in the earth a little time; the
flower
Unfit to bear the stormlngs of the gale
Was crushed and fell before the tempest
Sower.
God loved your rose and took her to His
breast
And TO- His love gave her new life and
where
No tempests rage, where all is peace and rest.
She blooms for aye among the fair, most
fair.
Let her sweet spirit be a guiding light
To Tighten us upon life's tortuous way,
Until we pass beyond the land of night
Unto the shore Of Gods eternal day.
