SHOPPING IN ITALY.
Outlandish Methods That Make 1t q
Most Tiresome Task.

Most TiresOme Task.
A source Of trial is what appears to
US the outlandish method of having
things that apparently belong together
sold in different establishments. Silks
are found in one shop, woolens in an
other and ribbons in a third. At none
of these can one bay needles and thread.
II woman wishes to hang pair of
curtains. she purchases the materials at
one shop, the rod and rings at differ
ent place, the iron fixtures at third
and has to go to fourth to find an up
holsterer to put them up. She must
visit tobacco shop for salt and cannot
find, as with US, vegetables, fruit or
bread at a grocer's. 1t may thus readily
be seen that one must travel good deal
to do her marketing or shopping.
Add to all this the confusion incident
to the fact that the standards of measure
and weight are different from ours, a
meter exceeding yard and a pound
containing but ID ounces, and faint
idea may be formed of the mental COM
plications of the traveller.
There is also certain amount If
beating down to be done in nearly every
shop, and even after half an hours bar
gaining the purchaser cherishes awful
doubts lest she might not have bought
the thing cheaper. Shopping is really
almost equal to the contemplation of
faded frescoes for lowering the mental
tone, and it is hard to say which has
the more to answer for in the exhausted
state in which most travellers leave
Italy. -Harper's Bazaar.

It Was ON This Occasion That He

Here IS a story that the Cleveland
Leader protfers about General Shafter.
1t centers about his salient trait Of be.
ing pugnacious, just as all current and
we'll invented anecdotes of "Fighting
Bob Evans revolve around some in
candescent bit of profanity. But the
story runs thus, as the general is made
to tell it:
"Once, when was boy at school
wasn't more than 10 or II years old at
the time-our teacher called up the
class in mental arithmetic and began
pntting questions, beginning with the
pupil at the head Of the row and going
down toward the foot, until some one
could give the correct answer. stood
somewhere near the middle, and next
below me was boy, who was three
years older and considerably ahead CT
me in the various studies that we had.
How much are 10 and and 8w
the teacher asked.
"While one after another of the boys
and girls ahead of me guessed and
failed to get it right I figured out what
I thought the answer ought to be. The
question had almost got to me when I
heard the big boy just below me whis-
pering, apparently to himself, but loud
enough for me to hear, '29, 30, 30
FINALLY the pupil above me failed
to answer correctly, and then it was my
turn.
Well, Willie, said the teacher,
let's see if you know the answer. Come,
now, be prompt.
II cooked my head up proudly on one
side, cast a triumphant look at those
who had fallen down on the problem
and said, so that everybody in the
schoolroom could hear me:
'Twenty-nine!
Next. How many are Is and 9
and s?
'Aw! said the big boy below me,
with look of supreme contempt at the
rest of us, '3Op
"That was what had figured it to
be myself, and when the teacher said
correct wanted to fight.
81 didn't assault him, but made up
my mind right there and then to depend
on my own Judgment in the future, and
ever since then when l have had any
thing to do and had figured out what l
considered the best way to do it have
gone ahead, remembering, when people
criticised or tried to throw me OFF he
track, how that big boy made TOOL Of
me in the mental arithmetic class. +"

Does Baby
I hrive?

If your baby is delicate
and sfrkly and its food does
not nourish it, put fifteen
or twenty drops Of Scott's
Emulsion in its bottle three
or four times day and you
will see a marked change.
We have had abundant
proof that they will thrive
on this emulsion when other
food fails to nourish them.
1t is the same with larger
children that are delicate.
SCOTS Emulsion seems to be
IT, element lacking in their
food. Do not fail to try it if
your children do not thrive.
1t is as useful for them in
summer as in winter.

The Rich Plum That He Extracted

For tbs benefit of those who are not
quite little folks Agnes Carr Sage, in
Lippinoott's Magazine, tells the origin
and history of some famous nursery
stories and rhymes, among them "The
Pleasant History of Jack Horner,'' con-
tanning Ellis Witty Tricks and Pleas

very old chapbook, carefully preserved
in the Bodleian library.
It appears that this worthy was stew
ard to an abbot Of Glastonbury. The
good abbot learned that his majesty
Henry VIII had seen fit to be indignant
because the monks had built kitchen
which he could not burn down. Now, a
kings indignation was dangerous and
must be appeased. Therefore the abbot

But Master Jack had an eye for the
profit of No. 1, and on the road he
slyly lifted the crust and distracted the
deeds of the Manor of Wells. On his
return, bringing the deeds, he plausibly
explained that they had been given to
him by the king; hence the rhyme:

subohiefs. rode slowly and solemnly
away. Long before they had reached
the little butte from whose shelter they
had emerged more than two hours be-
fore, only as dim, shadowy, specterlike
forms did they appear against the south
ward slopes Of the rolling earth waves.
That night Atherton was ordered to
extend his lines as far to the west as
possible and have patrols securing the
country west Of the Indian position,
while the cavalry from the north threw
ont similar parties from its right
flank. But long before 10 o'clock word

some troopers, who dismounted and slid
into those apparently bottomless depths,
reported that the opposite wall was Just
as steep. Even if they got down into
them there was no getting out on the
opposite side, and no telling how many
more there were just like them.
Both commands felt out toward the
west as far as they could and strove to
close the nearly mile wide gap on that
side, but to very little purpose. One
daring young corporal, striving to find
a way in the blackness of the night,
was suddenly plunged forward by the
misstep Of his snorting horse, and he
and that luckless charger rolled over the
edge of the cliff and were found by
comrades who ventured down afoot
with lights crushed to death on the
rocks below. Not until long after mid
night did Anterior and Stannard turn
in, and then it was with shake of the
head that augured i'll for the success Of

The night went by in silence, broken
only by the yelping of the coyotes far
out on the prairie and the occasional
snorting of horses and braying of pack
mules. The dawn came slow and chill,
and at the first flush of day the troopers
were budding about the cook fires,
eager for their mug Of coffee. Brighter
grew the skies. One by one the stars to
the west faded from view, and just be-

Slowly the chief arose and striding
forward once more essayed to speak,
but the old colonel. waving him back
as he turned impatiently away, said:
"I'll listen to no more. I've said my

Lee shook his head. ''It's taxing

about the circle of grave faces in the

on the slopes burned redder. Some faces
were doubtful, some appealing. At

meant that there would be no CHASTITY
