Or Italy Killed by Peasant Whom rs
Threatened.
Rome correspondent New York
Times: News has come to Rome of the
death of the famous brigand, Flora
vanti, who for so many years has
eluded every attempt on the part of
the Italian authorities to capture him.
His body was found last Saturday in
wood near Grasseto. in the Tuscan
Maremma. 1t seems that the cele-
brated bandit was shot by peasant.
whom he had threatened with death
because or his refusal to take a letter
of Fioravanti to certain well to do
person. demanding the immediate
payment of sum of 5000 francs. Lu-
ciano Fioravanti may well be said to
have been the last of the old race Of
brigands which once infested the Ma
remma and the neighborhood of Rome.
For long space of time he was the
companion Of the terrible Tiburzi, who
was shot by the gendarmerie. near
Sapalbio. in the Merema mountains,

eluding every effort made by the po-
lice and guards to capture him. Late
ly he seemed to have returned to his
old haunts, nearer Grasseto. where in
an unguarded moment he met his end
at last. For some years a reward OF
1000 francs had been hanging above
his head for his capture or death. The
news Of his shooting has caused a deep
sensation throughout the country. and
the South Tuscan Maremma and the
country between Lake Balsena and
Rome is now virtually free Of all real
ly desperate disturbers of the public
peace.

MAN IN SOCIETY.
The Neglected 'Eiister' Is Beginning to-
Receive Recognition.

Receive Recognition.
Every season brings certain changes
in etiquette-little variations in card
leaving and entertaining by which the
elect may recognize their own. One
new departure Of this season is the
fashion of issuing all invitations in
names of both host and hostess. I'm
til now, lovely woman has reigned SUI
preme on the Eat home" card, and the
name of the mere man was never men
toned unless it were a dinner invita-
tion-a survival from the days when
the host was an important person be-
cause he carved. Dinner a la Russo
has long since robbed him of his I'M
pleasant prerogative, so that he is
quite as useful. or more so, at after
noon tea than he is at dinner. Every
invitation arrives with "Mr. and Mrs"
at the top. Why this is so is impossi-
Bile to say, except perhaps that the
married couple are anxious to let their
friends know that they are still living
together. Whatever the reason, how
ever, the result will doubtless be good.
and the plainest and shyest of men will
have blown out into attractive hosts
under the feeling that they are bound
to show up at their own parties, and
do their share in the entertaining.
Crushes are no longer in favor. The
mere love of examining a room with
crowd of people is among the things
of the past. Small, select parties are
much better style, when no one Is
asked who has not some raison d'etre.
Very little music is being given at
parties this season. Hostesses recog-
nize that people want to talk, and are
only too thankful to be let alone. In
PRODUCING has not been very fashion
able; the most popular hostess as a
rule, is she who let her guests find
their own friends. THE hostess who
worries you" mere man declares, lis
luckily getting unpopular, and people
only like to patronize the salon of the
chatelaine who has mastered the great
art Of letting her guests alone" The
number of entertainments given in no.
tells and smart restaurants is one OF
the growing signs of the laziness OF
modern life, and the tendency to CEN
tralize in all things. People are thank
full to be saved trouble at any cost,
and giving parties in hotels saves an
illimitable amount of calculation on
the part Of the hostess. No mere man
need to make elaborate calculations as
to the amount OF food and drink re-
Quired, no troublesome consultations
with the cook. the whole matter is
taken out of the entertainers hands,
and attended to by an all-knowing ho-
tel manager. The house is not turned
upside down. nor the servants driven
to distraction by unaccustomed duties.
These entertainments at hotels have a
species Of novelty about them which
make them acceptable to the guests,
and they give the minimum Of trouble
for the hostess.-St. Louis Globe

He felt sure he had recognized the

For some reason he knew Rayburn

caught Rayburn looking at him in a
way that puzzled himself.
Cleland could not guess the reason.
He had never dreamt Adrienne Brey-

friendly way. and, even had he done
so. he had no idea of Rayburn's feel

On second thoughts he gave up the
idea Of following Rayburn. He got

Napoleon's letters to Josephine were
remarkable for their ardour. and for
a man who was said to have no heart
he expressed an extraordinary degree
of love and devotion. Swifts letters
to Stella are his complete autobio-
graph, and at the time when he pos
sessed his greatest power, when he
was courted by the rich and great.
when ministers of state consulted him
on every question, he took time to
write her daily. And he no sooner
sent off one letter than he commenced
another, thus, as Thackeray says,
never letting go her dear hand. He
told her everything that was going
on in the great world, and what was
said and done by every person worth
knowing, from the queen down. But
there was a curse connected with
everything that Swift did. After WOO

The Rise of the Crea merry.


Prior to 1872 no such thing as a
creamery or butter factory had been
known. The small farmers of New
England, who were well provided with
pure water, mountain pastures and
other favorable conditions, had provid-
ed the cities with small percentage

interest in cheese as well as butter
making. The Western Reserve of

tied area prior to ~ was produced all
the fine butter worth naming. All the
butter coming from the great West
was denominated in the markets as

River county of Illinois and its broad
prairies everywhere, likewise Iowa.
whose butter and cheese product to-
day, added to its home consumption,
equals s50,000,000. Think of all this
being of the lowest grade of stun. But
in 1872 John Stewart of Manchester,
Ia, invented a creamery. The world
had never known a butter factory.
On Spring Branch, where there was
plenty of spring water, he built a
building and began to buy the milk
from his neighbors. In 1876 he show

worlds prize for fine butter. 1t open

new resources in the West. Iowa to-

FREAKS OF COMPASS.

It Shows Marked Deviations Near the
Coast of Eastern Maine.
The captain of the United States
lighthouse tender Myrtle, which was
here few days ago, reports a peculiar
state of affairs in the eastern part of
the state of Maine, says the Ports
mouth IN. H. Chronicle. He says
that while going through many Of the
passages he notices that the compass
swings around from one to two points.
This is especially noticed in Deer is
land passage and in some places is
very dangerous to vessels, as in thick
weather the deviation is sufficient to
put them ashore. He says he has mo-
ticed this deviation especially between
South Mark island and Dry Halibut
rock. In passing Mark island the de-
Walton is from three-fourths to one
and one-half points, and from the
time this trouble is first noticed until
the vessel passes out of the magnetic
belt requires about eight minutes.
Some of the residents of the islands
say that magnetic ore on Camps is
land is the cause of the compass devil
alton. The captain Of one steamer
told him that the ore is particularly
noticeable on Marshall's island, and
he has observed that the greatest de-
Walton is at high water. The tripod
on Dry Halibut rock has been boarded
up solidly with heavy planks. This is
for the purpose Of giving back an echo
in thick weather. The captains of
vessels have got so they can deter
mine their positions quite accurately
by this means. Some of the old cap
tains say that fog will give back an
echo, Shut 1t seldom deceives an expe-

Sing Ml,hoa. openlng Mouth..

Many birds form their sound with
out opening their bills. The pigeon
is a well-known instance Of this. Its
cooling can be distinctly heard, al
though it does not open its bill. The
call is formed internally in the throat
and chest and is only rendered audible
by resonance. Similar ways may be
observed in many birds and other
animals. The clear. loud call OF the
cuckoo, according to one naturalist, is
the resonance of note formed in the
bird. The whirring of the snipe.
which betrays the approach of the bird
to the hunter. is an act of ventrilo-
quism. Even the nightingale has cer-
tain notes which are produced intern
ally and which are audible while the
bill is closed.

Developed by Cultivation.

All our garden vegetables are merely
types improved by long cultivation OF
wild species. The wild cabbage, is
common enough in places by the sea,
but is of no use for food in its wild
state. Indeed, it will take botanist
to tell that it was cabbage at all.
Scotland owes the cabbage to Crom-
wells soldiers. The caulifower is
but cultivated Improvement on the
cabbage. 1t was brought to perfection
in Cyprus and was very little known
until about century ago. The pars-
nip is another native of this country.
You may find it along almost any
hedgerow, but it is small and intensely
bitter in its wild state.-Cincinnati

Why We Are Like the Crow.

Aside from the special question of
profit and loss, We have warm side
toward the crow. he is SO much like
ourselves. said the late Henry Ward
Beecher. He is lazy, and that is hu-
man: he is cunning. and that is human.
He thinks his own color is best, and
loves to hear his own voice, which are
eminent traits of humanity. He will
never work when he can get another
to work for him-a genuine human
trait. He eats whatever he can get his
claws upon. and is less mischievous
with a belly full than when hungry.
and this is like man. Take of their
wings and put them in breeches, and
crows would make fair average men.
Give men wings and REFUGE their
smartness a little, and many OF them
would be almost good enough to be
crows.
