There is an almost complete failure
of the olive crop in southern Italy, and
in Sicily, this season, owing to the raw
ages of the oil fly, which appeared in
unusual numbers ON account of the
prolonged drought of last summer and
fall. The loss TO the province OF Bari
and Lecce alone is estimated at 60,C0C.-
600 lire, or $I2,OG0,0Oo. There will be a
corresponding scarcity OF oil, of course.

the speakers said that If this state OF
affairs continued much longer the city
would be bankrupt. He said the old
city was unable to borrow money now,
and their hope of revenue is from At

he said when they get you in the city

that will hardly leave you enough

HOW HUMANITY
OUGHT TO LIVE.
By Count Leo TolstoL

Since I was able to see clearly-and
that was twenty years ago-hoW hu-
manity could and ought to live happily
ana how foolishly ncne the less gen
GRAFTON after generation has suffered
torture. have traced back further and
further the fundamental cause OF this
woful disorder. I thought at first
could find the cause in a false econonl-
cal organization: then in the violence
employed by governments in order
that this organization be made active
and working smoothly: now 1 am con-
WINGED that the original cause OF All
these evils is the erroneous religious
conceptions which We receive from our
education We are so we'll trained &c
religious falsehood that We fail TO per
ceive all the horrors, all the foolish
ness and all the cruelty contained IN
Church teachings.
We do not notice this, but our chill
dren do. and their tender souls are IT.
remediably spoiled by such teachings
We tell the child. claiming for our
words the respect due to sacred truth,
things which We know perfectly we'll
that it would be absurd to believe and
which have no meaning for US
We tell this child that a mysterious
and savage being whom we call God
about six thousand years ago concelv-
ed the project of creating the world
that He. in effect. did create the world.
as well as man: but that, as man sin
ned this God inflicted upon him and
upon US the punishment for his trans
gressions and his faults We add that
our chief business lies in propiuating
this God in order to escape the tor
ments 70 which He has condemned US
All children are aware that mans
obligations are complex and they pos
sess a moral character. Yet we teach
them that the greatest obligation of
man consists IN believing blindly in
praying-that is to say, in uttering GER
tain words at certain hours and in
swallowing some sort of soup. rep
resenting the blood and flesh OF God
The governments, the ruling classes,
those who possess power and influence
are indissolubly tied to them Thus
the ruling classes are necessarily
working to impress upon child.s mind
the prestige of these hctions and doubl-
ing their efforts in order that their
hypnotic influence might be exerted up
on the minds Of the adults.

FAMOUS MISSING STATE SECRETS.
A Few Treaties That have Been Prematurely
How the Coup Was Exc Cuted.
Publ ished and

had been negotiating with the King OF
Ashanti on matters political, and to
mbody their several claims and to
make matters more agreea BILE for both
sides it was agreed that all differences
should be determined upon in a general
treaty.
Drafts were drawn out by England
and presented to King Koffee by the
representative in Coomassie, and. on
the other hand, the Kings advisers had
submitted theirs to the English Gov
ernment- All went well, and then the
final document was officially drawn Up
and presented to the dusky monarch Of
Ashanti for signature. The Foreign
Office officials waited its return from
King koftee's capital They waited and
waited until their patience bscame
worn out They at length addressed a
note to the King, who Immediately re-
piled TO the effect that he had returned
the precious papers to the Foreign Of
ice long ago-he had sent them direct
The officials could not trace their re-
eeipt, and everybody declared that they
had not seen them The evidence was
against the statement or the King, and
as his cOpper-colored Majesty was
known to deceive, and the probity of
his rectitude was an unconsidered trihe
in matters diplomatic, the benefit of
the doubt was, of course given to the
British officials, and the result was de-
claration OF war against Ashanti
After the conclusion of peace and
the utter defeat of the King, the lost
treaty was found slowed away in a
disused cupboard in one of the rooms of
the English home Office.
In the archives Of that same DEPART
ment are many treaties which were be-
gun, but never finished, and these re-
main under confidential lock and key
probably never to see the light of day
again; certainly their contents will
never be divulged.
ARRANGING TREATIES.
How are treaties arranged2 All the
preliminaries are conducted through
the ambassadors. Supposing a treaty
on a certain subject were desired be-
tween this country and Germany, our
ambassador in Berlin would receive in
struction from the State Department.
and he would in turn communicate
with the German Government, the lat
ter in its turn communicating with its
Washington ambassador. who would
present his notes to the American Gov
ernment-
