THE CURSE OF ITALY.
Once Every TwO Hours the StiIett0
of the Assassin Claims
Its Victim.

Throughout the kingdom of Italy an
Italian kills an Italian every two hours
during the entire year by means of the
knife. Such are the official statistics
which were recently placed before me
by Baron Garofalo, vice president and
leading spirit of the association which,
under the presidency of Queen Mar
guerite and the patronage of King
Humbert, has been formed to put down
homicide by depriving it of its all too
convenient and all too universal weap-
on, the accursed knife.
During the 365 days of the year 1897,
there were placed on record $3.50 homi-
cides by means of the knife, total be-
sides which the list of killed in the
sanguinary battle of Custozza, and even
| in the holocaust of Abba Carima in
Abyssinia, sinks into insignifcance.
Italy is, in fact, engaged in a personal
war with herself, which costs her on an
average 5000 lives annually.
The league, or association. which has
just been formed under these royal
auspices has very rightly and cleverly
placed itself in communication with
the various labor unions and trade as
sociations, and among the first of the
labor associations TO take up the mat
ter with enthusiasm and with yigor has
been the Union of Associated Printers,
which includes some of the most pub
lic-spirited and energetic Of the work
| ingmen of Rome.
The league, likewise, has secured a
promise from the premier, Gen. Pei
loux, to submit to the legislature, when
it meets again, a law rendering Il a
penal offense for anyone to carry one
of those knives with which in nearly
every case murder is done in this
country.
In order TO realize how utterly in
adequate the tribunals have shown
themselves until now to put stop TO
crime by means of the knife, ii may be
mentioned that the annual average OF
homicides in Italy alone surpasses that
of all the remainder of Europe put to-
| gether.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

At bedtime Faith was coming down
the long second-story passage when she
met Darcie, walking toward her listless-
ly, with a tired, wandering step. He
knew that she had been with her father,
and as he searched her pale, downcast
face he saw that some new trouble was
upon her. and his eyes were full of
love and beseeching sympathy. He

PASSENGERS PAY PROFIT.
The Freight business Pays Running
Expenses of American
Railroads.

The gross earnings of American rail
roads from freight are substantially
the same as the running expenses.
There are in this country at present
nearly 900 miles of railroad, and
the operating expenses are about $780,
10000 year. The freight receipts
are substantially the ame-ss00, ,o0o,-
900 year. When times are good, com
mercial operations are extensive, busi-
ness is brisk, and the demands for
transportation facilities are many, the
freight receipts of American railroads
Increase, and along with them there
are increases in the expenses of opera
ton, which usually keep pace. When
business interests languish and freight
receipts fall Off there is usually cor
responding reduction in operating ex-
penscs, so that ii may be said that the
running expenses of American rail-
roads generally are paid from freight
receipts, aud the other items OF rev
onue, passenger receipts chiefly and
mail receipts to minor extent, pay
the interest on bonds, the dividends
and the where there are any.
| Ii may be said generally that the
railroad having very large and
steady passenger business is, other
things being equal, a paying road,
whereas railroad the business of
which is chiefly freight is, other things
being equal, not source OF profit
There are very few railroads in the
United States which have larger earn
ings from passengers than from
freight. One such road is the New
York, New Haven e Hartford, which
by the last official report, took in $780,
300 more last year from passengers
than from freight, and the New Haven
railroad is known generally rs one of
the most substantial roads in the coun-
try. Passenger business onNAmerican
railroads is much less easily handled
than freight, requiring constantly not
only new disbursements but outside
lcxpenses as well. Passengers on Amer
ican railroads have come to expect not
only good, but the best service. They
require, too, the highest rate Of speed
compatible with safety, and as much
and as good attention as they could
secure In first class hotel. Moreover,
the compe tition among American rail
roads on the chief lines of travel is such
that liberal advertising Is necessary
to direct public attention to the ben
efits offered. The question is some
times asked why ii is that such vigor-
Gus efforts are made by railroad man
ayers to develop the passenger bust
ress in preference to freight traffic,
but the explanation is to be found in
the fact that while the revenues from
the former are usually regulated by
the volume of business, the passenger
receipts are regulated generally by the
character of the service offered, indie
pendent of the condition of business
Necessarily a railroad, to enjoy large
measure of passenger business, must
be in very good physical condition, and
for this reason some of the poorer
roads are unable to compete success.

Dry Plate Photography.

The first amateur pictures on dry plates were made something after the method employed by Charles Lambs celebrated ChiDaman in obtaining roast pig. The Chinaman burned his house to roast his pig. The amateur tore his camera to pieces to get his picture. The first hand camera was n pasteboard box containing one plate. A pinhole served as lens and after the exposure of the plate the box was taken to the dark room, cut open, and the plate extracted. This was rather expensive picture nak- ing, and it was not long before a maga- zine camera was invented. and sudden ly all the world began taking pictures. Elizabeth Flint Wade in St. Nicholas
