1t ls q fact that does not speak well
for Italy that the chief anarchist assas-
sins of recent. years have claimed that
country as their birthplace. President
Carnot Of France, Premier Canoyas Of
Spain, the Empress of Austria and
King Humbert have all fallen victims
of anarchists of Italian birth and breed
ing Santa Caserio, who stabbed Car
not at Lyons in 1891, was a native Of
Lombardy; Ansino Colo. who shot
CanoyaS in 1897. was born at Boggia,
near Naples; Lucheni. who killed the
Empress of Austria at Geneva in 1898,
although born III Paris. was of Italian
parentage; Angelo Bresci. who shot
Humbert, is reputed to be n native of
Prato, in Tuscany. In this connection
it may also be stated that the latest
published statistics show that in Italy,
with Il population estimated at 10000
GOO, over 1000 people were murdered
in 1897, while more than $4,000 We're
violently assaulted and wounded. In
Sicily alone 96S persons were murdered
in one year, or an average of between
two and three each day. These facts
and figures are full of unpleasant sug-
gestion. Nor does the supplementary
record Of punishments meted out by the
Italian courts relieve the situation very
greatly. OF these 1900 murderers made
known TO the authorities only 124 re-
ceived the full penalty prescribed by
Italian law-lmprisonment for life 1t
would appear that human life is no.
where held more cheaply than in the
Italian peninsula.-Leslie's Weekly.

domestic Monkey,

A lady tells of monkey which she
saw while in Paris. Meeting him sud
denly OH the stairs one day, he. stood in
the corner to allow her to pass, and
when she said Good morning" he took
off his cap and bowed.
Are you going away?' she asked.
"Where is your passport?"
Pulling off his cap. he took from the
crown paper, opened it, and showed it
to her. When some one observed that
her dress was dusty, the courteous
monkey took srush from the table
and carefully brushed her dress and
then her shoes. When food was given
him he always made a low bow before
taking it. and then ate it slowly and
daintily. He had been taught to eat
eggs with a spoon, and to use 4 knife
and fork. He could lock and unlock
drawer. thread needle, uncOrk bot
tie. and polish his masters shoes. He
seemed to take great pleasure in gay
company, and from the apparent atten-
ton he paid to the conversation, look
ing in turn at teach speaker, it was almost
impossible to believe that he did not
understand what was being said. This
marvellous monkey was never put on
public exhibition, and died at an early
age of pneumonia, just like a human
being.

Country Doctors Experience.

The trials of the country doctor were
well illustrated recently by DIR. o. III.
Simmons. of Kingsfield, who was called
to 90 into a logging camp to attend a
man who had broken his leg. DIR. Sim
mons left Kingsfield late in the after
noon and drove to Sam Parsons on the
Lowe Deal River road. which is about
twenty miles from Kingfield. He left
there with n guide on foot in the even
ing and tramped across through the
woods and streams and rivers fourteen
miles to the logging camp. arriving
there at 3 o'clock in the morning. He
set the broken leg and started for home
about a. m. The last three miles be
fore they got to the camp the only track
through the frozen SNOW was a single
foot track going in, so coming out the
track was the wrong way. 1t lamed
him so that by the time he got out
within about five miles of the settle
ment where his team was he was so
lame he could not travel. His guide
had to go out and get Il team, and by
cutting boughs to fill one of the streams
they got the team in and took him out
to Mr. Parsons. He arrived home late
two days after.-Lewiston NIe.) Jour-

on wheat raised and exported or Oh
steel and iron or on buildings would be
just as excusable and less liable to
abuse. Every end sought that it is le-
gitimate to seek, in the subsidy scheme,
can be reached through the opening OF
the ship markets of the world to Ameri-
cans wishing to buy ships.-New York
Times.
Trusts have been heretofore strong
enough to fasten themselves on the peo-
pie without aid from the government.
All they have asked was to be let alone.
Now the ship trust wants to he support
ed out of the taxpayers pockets. That
is the most audacious scheme of all.
This subsidy grab has been on hand for
three years, and has heretofore been
defeated in all its attempts to fasten
itself on the people. Now, however, it
seems to have prospect of success and
its powerful promoters will doubtless
use pressure enough to defeat other ap-
preparations. unless they can get what
they want.-New Orleans Picayune.

Jacks GrOwl.

The author of From Edinburgh to
the Antarctic" writing of the sailors
habit of grumbling. says: The dinners
are all the same; that is to say, Mon
days dinners are all alike, and what
we have to-day. We shall nave this day
six months hence. Jacks fOrefather
this day hundred years ago had the
same menu, and made the same uncom-
plimentary remarks about the dishes;
and hundred years hence on this day
Jacks children will growl over their
salt horse aud plumless duff" The
author also tells this yarn" to illus
trate that Jacks habit of grumbling
can't be cured and must be endured:
Once upon time there lived a skip
per whose wife said to him that il she
went TO sea the poor men would never
find fault with their food. Her hus-
band took her with him on voyage,
and the good woman attended to the
cooking in the galley herself.
The scouse was thick with fresh veg
etables. the bread was white and with
out weevfls, the meat was good and
the duff was almost half plums; but
still the men growled.
, Then the skipper's wife thought OF
the hens-ehe had brought on board to
lay eggs for her husbands breakfast
She took them out Of the coop, wrung
their necks with her own fair hands,
plucked them, roasted them, and sent
them to the forecastle on the cabin
china.
Now the men," she said to herself,
Twill know how much we think of their
comfort"
At eight bells she stole forward to the
forescuttle to listen to the praise of
her skill as cook. She looked down
the hatch. and saw a big. black fist
plunge a fork into the hen, and heard
hoarse voice growl, Il say, Bill, what
dye think this ere bloody fowl died
off,"

Foxy WAYS of the Japs.

''The first ten days that one spends in
Japan impress him with the idea that

Tn. Shin Subsidy Bill,


These two facts condemn the subsidy
grab: 1. Our shipyards have for some
time been worked at their full capacity
without any subsidy. 2. Steel ships
can be built cheaper here than any
where else: our mills have just sent n
large quantity of steel plates TO Europe
to be used in foreign shipyards.-New
York World.
A little of the rccklessness of Mark
Hanna in pushing the ship-subsidy bill
may be attributed to the fact that he
well understands that he has made his
last political fight. When Mckinley re-
tires from Office the power of Hanna
will go with him, and nobody under
stands this better than Hanna himself.
Indianapolis Press.
There is no doubt that there is /;
strong sentiment among the people in
favor of having their ocean-carryins
trade done in ships which are owned by
Americans and which carry the Ameri-
can flag. 1t is not believed, however,
that the ship-subsidy bill would accom-
plish that object If it should become a
law. 1t would bring about the building
of 4 few swift steamers and that is all
it would do.-Savannah News.
1t tthe ship subsidy is at the very
best only n waste of the public money.
At its worst it is diverting public :Hon-
ey for private profit. Neither the own
ers nor the builders of ships have the
slightest claim to contributions from
their fellow citizens. A direct subsidy

How the GIas, TRUST Piuche.,

The extortions of the glass trust have
become so unbearable under the cover
of the high duties imposed by the tariff
upon imported glass that the dealers in
paints and glass have been driven into
open revolt. There is no remedy for
consumers except TO drive the trust
from under its tariff shelter. The deal
ers know precisely what pinches them
and they have resolved TO carry their
grievance to the door of Congress. Con-
gress can reduce the tax on glass with
out reducing the surplus in the treasury
a dollar But remission of the tax or
its reduction to revenue basis would
save millions of dollars TO taxpayers
