FOREIGN GOSSIP.

There are nearly 100000 acres OF
land in Italy still uncultivated, which
will bear good crops.
In Russia half the physicians live in
the cities. In country districts there
is not always physician for every
10000 inhabitants.
One thousand and seventy-seven de-
crees of divorce were granted in Swift
zerland last year, which means 1913 for
every 1000 marriages.
Twenty-seven thousand men, or 20
per 1000, failed to appear for exam
ination for the Italian army last year,
and were declared deserters.
1t is stated that from the mouth to
the source of the Rhine, 725 castles,
formerly the homes of warlike chiefs,
are to be found overlooking its wa
tiers.
The city of Barcelona offers prize
of $4,000, due in 1906, for the best work
on Spanish archaeology. 1t may be
written in Latin, Spanish, Italian,
French or Portuguese.
The cattle which draw the mahogany
logs in the forests of the Isthmus of
Panama have to be sprayed with kero-
sene to destroy the parasites which are
their deadliest enemies.
1t is calculated that no fewer than
1O2 persons committed suicide by

UNCLE HENRY ON LUCK.

Some people say there amt no luck in
this world; they claim
IT'S wisdom and hard work and pluck
that bring folks wealth and fame;
don't deny that there's a pile of truth
in what they say,
But still 1t makes me kind of smile to
hear 'em talk that way.
When Elder Johnson's Oldest son, some
dozen years ago,
Got tired farmin' here and run away to
join show,
It busted up, first thing he knew, and left
him stranded fiat
Not KNOWN what the deuce to do, ex-
cept pass round the hat
And then a doctor took him up, in some
Kentucky town,
And he's a famous surgeon now and
saltin' money down.
There want no luck about that-no! No
luck at all, you bet
But he'd be with the one-hOrse show,
lift hadn't busted, yet;
And last week old Dave Simpsons dog.
while sort of snoopin' round,
Barked up a hollow, rotten log, and
what d'you s'pose they found?
Ten thousand dollars worth of gold some
robber'd hid one day
OF course twas all Dawes wisdom made
his dog take on that way.
One time in church, when Dick Shaw s
May got up to sing a tune,
A stranger that was there that day got
interested soon
Just happened that he'd stayed because
he'd missed his train, you know
But Mays not workin' like she was in
them days long ago;
The stranger took 'er off somewhere and
trained 'er voice somehow,
And she's his wife and lives in style, and
sings in op'ry now.
No, there's no such a thing as luck to
help person through;
It's wisdom and hard work and pluck
makes folks do what they do
I s'pose if I'd been born in some big
castle on a hill
They'd drove me out, for I'm so dumb,
and I'd be farmin' still.

"Johnson's getting decidedly
shaky," I solioquized. Il suppose
he's seen me in a hundred cases for
the Crown, and yet he breaks out
like this when couple of assassins
are put out of the way of working
further mischief through my in
strumentality. There's some miti-
cation when frenzied creature flies
out at another in hot blood at an
apparent injury. But anarchists

My musings were suddenly inter
rupted by a Br-r-r-r-r from the tele-
phone bell. Striding over to the in
strument l took the receiver.
Halo! that you, Dick?" came the
voice of Marshall. "You got the ku-
dos, to-day, my learned brother,
hang you! Never gave me a look-in.
That gentle restraint usually assumed
by the leader for the Crown was
stril<ingly conspicuous by its absence.

way, my boy, without due notice to

Though professional duty frequent

suave, trenchant manner. When he
