The principal export from Catania is
snow, in which n most l%uoratige trade
is carried on in Malta and parts Of
southern Italy. 1t is collected during
the winter in hollows in the mountains

thawing. 1t Is brought down ia pan
niers ON mules to the coast at night.
The revenue derived from this source is
immense and renders the Prince of Pa
terno one of the richest men in Sicily.
Snow is the universal luxury from the
highest to the lowest rank and is sold
at the rate Of 4 cents for so ornces.

Proverbs, like grammatical raleg, arc
liable to exceptions. For instance. the
familiar saying. lightning does not
strike twice in the same place, Z" bad
its exception during the bombnrdment
Of Widin by tho Russian batteries Ct
Kalafat on tho opposite shore OF tho
Danube. Tho incident Is described by
Dr.. Ryan in bis book. "Undor the Rel
Crescent" the Turkish equivalent for
the Red Cross society.
The shells frosn the heavy siege guns
at Kalafat were dropping necessarily
within the fortress. Ono Of them az IL
exploded loren great hole IN the ground
large enough to contain q horse. A
Turkish woman. who was covering
with her three children under the sind
ow of the wall. took refuge in tho holo.
According to tho law Of chances. it
was the least likely spot to be ngain bit
by a shell. But scarcely had chs crapt
in and drawn the three children after
her when another shell, leaving tho
lannon's mouth ut Kalufnt, nearly two
miles away, dropped into the slmo hole
and blew mother ard children TO atoms.
To the Turks the grim exception was a
vivid illustration Of their doctrine Of
kisnet, or fate. The woman's hour had
come; kismot led her into that holo; it
was the place assigned for her departure
from earth.
Another she'll struck the angle OK a
house, tore down the walls and reduced
ene half Of a room TO ruins. In the 9th.

man and two children. They were net

tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one

manently. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
