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

Outlandish Methods That Make 1t q
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 buy needles and thread.
IF woman wishes to hang a pair of
curtains. she purchases the materials at
one shop, the rod and rings at differ
emit place, the iron fixtures at third
and has to 60 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 grocer's. It 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 a certain amount Of
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.

Herr Strauss Eccentricities.

Writing of the eccentricities of Herr
Strauss, the dance music composer, a
Vienna writer says he is as nervous as a
composer as he is director. Cad in a
velvet costume. with patent leather boots
reaching to his knees, his eyes aflame
and in fit of inspiration, he goes strid-
ing through the house like maniac. If
inspiration does not come to him in the
salon, he clutches his papers and goes
to his bedroom or to his wife's boudoir.
Sometimes the waltz begun in the PAL
lor is finished in the kitchen. Nine.
Strauss, who appreciates and under
stands her husbands habits, has half a
dozen pianos scattered through the
house, and in each room table with
writing materials, SO that in whatever
nook her husband finds himself he is
quite at home. Nine. Strauss was once
a favorite actress on the Vienna stage.

GEN. SKATERS sLESSON.

1t Was on This Occasion That He
Learned to Decide Fer Himself.
Here is a story that the Cleveland
Leader proffers about General Shafter.
It 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 tt:
"Onee, when I 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
putting 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. I stood
somewhere near the middle, and next
below me was boy who was three
years older and considerably ahead of
me in the,various studies that we had.
How much are IS and g and 81
the teacher asked.
"While,one after another Of the boys
and girls ahead Of me guessed and
failed to get it right 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, &c.
"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
achoolroom could hear me:
Twenty-nineP
" Next. How many are Is and 9
and 8?
'Aw!' said the big boy below me,
with q look of supreme contempt at the
rest of us, '3OI
"That was what ] had figured it to
be myself, and when the teacher said
correct wanted to fight.
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
considered the best way to do it I have
gone ahead. remembering, when people
critfpised or tried to throw me off the
track, how that big boy made fool Of

A SILLY TRAGEDY.
The DSe1 Between Tom Porter and
Sir Henry Bellasis.

-5.- Sir Henry Bellasts.
Some of the Royalists who were
forced 70 endure the English common
wealth seemed to console themselves
for the dizziness of life under Puritan
government by fighting as many duels
as they could compass, SO that ignohte
squabbles and foolish plots make up the
history of their days.
Tom Porter was of family which
had zealously served the king. Under
the new government his occupation was
gone, and he descended to triviality
of life which finally involved him in a
most pathetic event. This was duel
which he fought with his friend, Sir
Henry Bellasis, and which, says Pepys
in his DIARY" is worth remembering
for "the Stiffness of the quarrel \ X
kind OF emblem of the general complex
ion of the whole kingdom"
But silly as the quarrel undoubtedly
was it carried in it an element of heart
break.
The two young men involved were
intimate friends and companions, but
one day, "being merry in company"
Tom Porter said he should like to see
the man in England who would dare
give him blow. With that Sir Henry
Bellasis struck him box on the ear.
The inevitable duel followed, wherein
each was wounded. Sir Henry proved to
be seriously hurt, so he called Porter,
kissed him and babe him fly.
"For," said he, "Tom, thou hast
hurt me. Butt will make shift to stand
upon my legs till thou mayst withdraw,
for would not have thee troubled for
what thou hast done.''
Porter profited by his friends gener-
osity and escaped to France. Sir Henry
died few days later, and Pepys con-
cludes, lit is pretty to see how the
world do talk Of them as a couple of
fools that killed one another out of
love-"
