The LILO Is Ono OF Hardship, Continual
Exposure and Fatigue.
The gondoliers OF Venice have again
and again risen against tho ruin of their
livelihood by the "black devils" Of the
vaporett!, but force is at once called in.
and they are brutally silenccd, flung into
prison and deprived of their license-i. G..
of their daily broad. Because it Is so pic
turesquc a calling, and the balancing of
tho oar looks so easy "a work those who arc
outside 1t do not realize Its hardships. In
summer II Venice be full 1t Is well enough
and brings a fair though never high
wage, but in the other seasons it Is lifo
of great and continual exposure and ia
tigue. In cold %cather-and Venice is in
tensely cold in the winter solstice-the
long vigils on the trachetto are most tedi-
Gus and trying, especially through the long
chill nights. When the icy winds blow in
from the Alps or the Adriatic, tho Condo
licr stands exposed to ell their fury, while
the passenger he carries sits warm and
sheltered under the folze.
Strong and 1.-the in form, often hand
some in feature, almost invariably intel
ligent and acquainted with legend and
verse, invariably courteous and we'll bred,
the gondolier should have received the ut
most attention from his rulers. 1t Is pain
full to know that no body Of men has over
been 80 sighted, SO injured, and so wan
tonly outraged.
There is nowhere any more interesting
and deserving community than tho Vcr =
tian gondoliers, and few moro worthy
regard, yet they have been dealt with IS
though they were no moro than so much
scum of the sea. Their long established
rights receive no consideration, and their
injuries no compensation.
If tho vote of Venice could have been
honestly polled, no steamboat would eN {
have been allowed on the Grand canal, just
as if the vote of Florence could have been
honestly polled the center Of Florence
would be now standing untouched and
| would have remained untouched for many
generation. --Ouida in Fortnightly.

A Thrilling Story which Needed but a
Touch to Perfect 1t.

Touch to Perfect 1t.
The publisher of fiction In paper covers
was not feeling very amiablc when the
young lady novelist called on him. The
truth was that he had been going over a
lot of bills and had been tempted to write
TO his wife and daughters things which no
would not have the courage to express I'M
der circumstances where they could reply.
IL called to see about my story" said
the young lady novelist.
"Oh tho one which is entitled 'Mariot-
ia's Marriage; or, Life Story From o
Book of Cigarette Papers.
Yes, that's it,"
'Well, it's pretty good novel, But
you must boar in mind that as littoratoors
wore responsible for the education of tho
public to certain degree. We must not
be too improbable. Sometimes you have
to be littlo improbable now and then in
order to fascinate your reader, but you
can be reasonable good deal of the
time"
"But If you try that, isn't your reader
likely to become unfnscinatody" she in
quircd.
Not II you're judicious. Now, the
only objection l have to your story Is
the incident which represents the hero
inc as jumping out of n third story win
dow on to an awning over meat store
In order to escape tho abductors who are
on her track. It's too much to risk on an
awning. And besides it. moro than like
| ly any abductor who knew his business
would have confederate posted outside to
catch her when she bounced off. OF course
you've got her cornercd, and she's got to
! get away somehow. But | must say 1t
| doesn't sound quite artistic to me-"
She had been thinking while he talked,
and she remarked:
/ suppose we fix 1t this way: She was
on her way homo from tho milliner's,
where she bought the most fashionable hat
in the window. She was walking through
the park when she saw her pursucrs on
her track. She knew she must act quick
| ly. Without u moments hesitation she
took off the hat laid it on the ground and
then crouched behind the bunch Of nam
moth hyacinth blossoms which the mil.
liner had told her would cost ST. extra.
/ How sho rcjoiced that sho had not carried
out her threat to 40 without rather than
pay so muchl The men who had so often
abducted her before wcro foiled at last
They camc within fow feet Of her hiding
place and ono of them paused, but only
to remark that he had never before seen
flower bed and shrubbcry in that part o.
the park. Marietta was saved"
And the publisher nodded his head np
provingly and exclaimed
"Now, there's some sense to that. -

of Punch's famous dinners. He WAS to

which he described the difference between
the American volunteer and the soldier
of other nations. The men who were his

only fought, but thought. To illustrate
this he related an anecdote about a young
soldier in some northern regiment who 9
