An Italian Peasant.

The Poletti's little cottage stands in
field and is semidetached. Like many
of their class in Italy, they have great
love for and pride in their home. The
furniture is well polished, the tools and
utensils arranged with an attempt at
decoration, and all is clean and neat.
1t is a two roomed house. On the ground
floor is the kitchen, where the boys bed
stands under the stair which leads to
the upper room. Here are two large
beds. one for the parents, the other for
the two girls.
In the kitchen stand walnut wood
table and sideboard of antique design,
an heirloom of the mothers; walnut
chest holds the bed and table linen and
another old chest the best clothes; the
everyday clothes are kept in chest up
stairs. They try to add something every
year to the house linen. Sometimes the
mother and daughters beg the use Of a
little plot of ground, which they sow
with flax, and the year following they
spin and weave it themselves, borrow
ing a loom from a farmer. Their stock
compares favorably with that of the
better off English cottager, to say moth
ing of the quality of this homemade
linen compared TO that bought cheap at
q country shop.-Fortnightly Review.

Leaving 1t to the Jury.

A story is told of judge who up to
his death sat on the crown side on the
South Wales circuit. Counsel for the
defense once asked leave to address the
jury in Welsh, and, the case being a
simple one, permission was given with
out demur. He said but very few
words; the judge also did not think
much comment was necessary, but was
somewhat startled by prompt verdict
of acquittal.
"What was it, he afterward in
quired, "that counsel said to the jury?"
"Oh, he just said: This case. gentle.
men, lies in a nutshell. You see your
selves exactly how it stands. The judge
is an Englishman. the prosecuting coun-
eel is an Englishman, the complainant
is an Englishman. But you are Welsh.
and I am Welsh, and the prisoner is
Welsh. Need say more? 1 leave it all
to you.
The judge did not allow the expert
ment to be repeated of addresses to the
jury in a vernacular which he did not

A LOST opportunity.-

1t was near one Of the large railroad
stations. A man rather advanced in
years, whose old fashioned attire and
open moutbed wonderment proclaimed
that he was visitor from the rural dis
tricts and not accustomed to the every
nay sights of large city, was suddenly
accosted by a sharp visaged youth with,
Mister, yer dropped yer wallick." As
he spoke he held forth large wallet
well stuffed with old revenue stamps
covered with couple of dollar bills
Uncle Rube locked at the greenbacks
bullying out of che wallet with equally
protruding eyes, hesitated just one mo-
ment, and then, his cupidity evidently
getting the better of him, reached for
it. Hold on; give Us a tenner furst,"
exclaimed the possessor of the wallet.
The old man quickly put his hand in
his trousers pocket; but, after a mo-
ment. drawing forth his empty hand,
he drawled out, "Take it out O. the
wallet
The youth, closing the wallet with
i'll concealed disgust. turned on his heel
and hurried off. The stranger in town
looked after the youth a moment, and
then, muttering, "Gol derni Missed it
ag in. 1 told Sal I'd need more'n So"
he resumed his peaceful way.-Phila-

A Remarkable Lake.

The most remarkab BILE body of water
| in the world lies in the vicinity of the
Colorado river. in southern California.
In this region of ugly volcanoes, desc
late wastes and Shiny swamps, the
strangest phenomenon of all is what
the nsturalists call a 'lake of ink. -
No other description fits as we'll.
The strange black fluid that forms
the lake bears no resemblance to water.
The pool Of ink is situated about half
a mile from volcano. 1t is about an
acre in area. The surface is coated with
gray ashes from the volcanoes to the
thickness of about six inches, thus con-
cealipg its real nature.
Experience has proved that the black
fluid of the lake is not poisonous. Ii
acts as dye. and cotton goods soaked
in it keep their color for months, even
when exposed TO the sun. They also &C.
Quire a stiffness similar to that produced
by weak starch. The fluid has been
analysed, but its component parts have
not been made known. AS to the source
of the supply of the lake, nothing def
mite has been ascertained. 1t is undoubt-
eddy Of volcanic origin, but nothing
more definite is known.
This is bad land that has never been
traversed. Human beings have tried it,
but they never return to tell of their ex-
perience or their discoveries. Louis.

BILE. For great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease, and
prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proeen catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and, therefore,
requires constitutional treatment.
