PECULIAR DRESS.
What the Natives in Micronesia Wear
to Church.

Miss Elizabeth Baldwin. on her ar
rival at Ruk, wrote as follows OF the
native church at that station, which
serves also as a school house for the
boys, says the Missionary Herald:
The church holds about $50 and is al
ways well filled at service. Quite a
number attend the services who have
not forsaken yet their heathenism and
their scanty, dirty clothing, immense
ear ornaments, extending almost to the
waist, and other barbaric adornments
make the contrast very striking be-
tween them and the Christian natives
The Christian men wear trousers and a
shirt, often having the shirt hanging
loose over the trousers, and the wOm-
en- wear Mother Hubbards.' We have
seen women attired in a shirt, and we
have heard of couple living on some
one of these islands who, when the
communion season came around, said
that they did not think they could
come to the Lords table. for they had
been quarreling. When asked what
they were quarreling about they said
they had new red shirt and had dis
pu:ed as to which should wear it to
church.

T AVIATION IN ITALY.
Poor Pay Twice as Much ProportionateIy
the Rich.

Not only is everything taxed in It
ally, but the taxes are so arranged that
in the words OF Sig. GiOlitti. the poor
pay in proportion twice as much as the
rich, says the Gentleman's Magazine.
For in Italy it is the necesSaries of
life-at least we should consider them
as such-the bread. the meat and the
sugar, which pay, while the Injuries,
though greatly taxed. too, bring in
comparatively small amount One lux
ury, indeed, is an eXceptiOn-the Ital-
ian state lottery. in which al classes
Of the community. down TO the very
poorest who can scrape 90 ccntesimi
together, take tickets every week. A
brilliant Italian novelist. Matilde Sc
rao. has shown in her admirable Pa
csc di Cuccagna,' and in some Of her
shorter stories. the far-reaching harm

ling causes. the superst;tions which it

red rose against those held by local
gamblers. may be seen. But after all
the lotto is optional. while the taxes
are not. So bread and sugar cost about
thrice what they do in England. the
sOpratassa on railway tickets makes
travelling in italy dearer than any
where else, while salt is heavily
mulcted fer revenue purposes. Hence
genuine discomfort arises. though here
it is necessary TO distinguish. In spite
of the assertions of the Secolo and the
other advanced papers, the right view
appears to be--so Milanese eyewitness
es Of last years riots inform me-that
whereas in most other places and eS-
peciaily in the south the distur Dances
were really due to want of food and
abject poverty, there, on the contrary
where trade is much more flourishins
and work much more plentiful than
elsewhere. the agitation was indus
triously fomented for political ends.

SEWED A BUTTON
On Her Finger with Machine That
CIinched it to the Flesh.

CIinched it to the Flesh.
New York Sun: Rosie Pierre, 16
years old, of 341 Madison street, met
with singular accident in Joseph
Klein & Co.'S tailor shop, at 626 Broad
way, yesterday. She was putting but
tons on trousers, using for that purpose
machine that stamps them on and
clinches them on the other side. She
got her hand into the machinery. 1t
did not stop. 1t went right on. The
next button was sunk deep into flesh
of the last joint OF her index finger,
and clinched all right on the nail side.
With it so fixed she was taken over
to police headquarters. The button
was fastened as if it were never to
come off. An ambulance was sent for,
but the surgeon knew of no way to get
it off He took her over to st. Vim
cents hospital The surgeons at the
hospital cut the button out. 1t had
been clinched into the flesh, and 1t was
necessary to put the girl under ether
to perform the operation.
