No Begears i'm Lombardy.

To the tourist through Italy the con-
trast between the north and south prov
inces in the matter of beggary along
the streets and highways has been
often remarked. There is little or no
begging in northern Italy, as there is
In Naples. In the southern part of the
peninsula the people are mixed with
the scum Of the levant. In the north
the country is agriculturally rich and
there are no crop failures. The irriga-
ton system is so good and the water
from the mountains so plentiful that
the plains Of Lombardy are a delight
to the eye. The people are business
people, serious, self-contained and self
respecting. The south lives of what
the tourists spend, the north lives on
their business.
The average tourist stays in Naples,
Including Pompeii, Vesuvius, Sorrento,
Amalf ten days; Rome two weeks,
Florence five or seven days, Venice
four, Genoa one and Milan one or three.
Tourists generally do not see Turin,
and Milan and Turin gave me dis
tinct pleasure. The big opera-house of
Milan, known as La Scala, has been
very little used of late years. 1t be-
longs to the past. Regulations were
made there formerly, but not now.

Ants and Lemonade.

Ibid you ever know that ants will
make lemonadeT' asked the talkative
grocer "Yes, it's fact. l happened
to cut lemon the other day, and left 1t
on the counter. A couple of minutes
later noticed bunch of ants making
a great TODD around the lemon. The
antics Of the little insects were SO
methodical that l took few minutes
off to investigate. A little sugar had
been spilled on the counter near the
spot where the lemon lay, and the ants
were busy making trips between the
sugar and the fruit. You may not be-
lieve 1t, sir, but every time one of the
little creatures made the trip he car
ried back grain of sugar, which was
dropped into the lemon juice and then
eagerly devoured.
at struck me that maybe the manu-
facture of the lemonade was only an
accidental process, due to the close
proximity of the sugar and the lemon,
30 l carefully swept the sugar away.
1t seems Incredible, but as true as I'm
standing here those ants hunted around
until they found the sugar barrel. when
the whole bunch trooped back laden
with sugar, which they dipped In the
Juice and swallowed. Wonderful is no
