some other places there is also a sum

culiaritles Of life among the upper
classes, Mr.. Villnri says:
Italians, even III the grnndest estab.
lishmcnts, do not wear evening dress
for dinner unless there is a party. A
black coat is enough for ordinary pur.
poses. few men who wish to be par
ticularly fashionable wear smoking

is sufficient for all save very large din.

hand, there are occasions when man
dons his dress clothes by day. 1t is de
rigueur ut court functions. even in

wear hats at the theaters except on
gala nights. They display more jew.
elry by day than English ladies. The
Italian arIstocracy have magnificent
jewels, and even In quite small towns,
where there is no great wealth. the old
families can make IL fine display. The
tall hat Is only necessary ut marriages,

WISDOM OF THE WIDOW.

with Tony Weller.


WITH Tony Weller.
The man who marries girl just out
OF school has need of much shrewdness,
tact aud fortitude, for the first year Of
matrimony Will produce violent revo-
luton in her mind. AS she learns to
know her husband-she who has never
seen him except when lie had his best
coat on-she will deem him n brute and
will be disappointed and Disguised, for
she will compare him with that impos.
sible ideal Of manhood which every
girl has In her mind aud OF which be,
of course falls short. But with ex-
perience VIII come wisdom. In time
she will understand that her girlhood's
ideal, II she were to have him in the
flesh, would be an unbearable prig,
and that her husband Is about as good
as men so and evep-if she loves him
a little better than the next man.
A widow has all this knowledge Of
men and Of the world, which spinster
lacks. A man talks to widow freely
as to one who has found him out. She
is expert in the arts Of pleasing him,
and il bright young widow sets her
cap for man he can escape her only
by flight. A widow has no illusions
and no ideals. She is well trained and
used to going double, while the spinster
is an unbroken FLY and is bound to
kick up good deal when She first feels

The Certainty OF Fate.

The Mohnmmedans have fable
which they Pepeat to Illustrate the GER
tainty OF fate. The Philadelphia Times
quotes it as having been told by Mr..
Robert Barr, the celebrated novelist.
A sultan was once asked by his IA
vorlte, the grand vzicr. for permission
to leave at once for Smyrna, although
a brilliant court fetc was then in prog
ress Upon being asked his reason for
such haste the vizier replied:
Because l just saw the angel Of
death yondcr in the crowd. He looked
at me so earnestly that 1 know he has
come for me. 1 wish to escape him"
"Go Go ut once" said the sultan,
who then beckcncd TO the angel and
asked why the latter had looked so
earnestly mt the vizicr.
Il was wondering" replied the angel
OF death. why he was here, for have
orders to kill him in Smyrna"

~ Iapislate We have been five months

MANY matters in which our differences OF

have not succeeded in making the laws we
wanted. We will be able to agree after the
recess, but have no more criticisms to
make Of the American Congress. rms was
an omen confession which would be good
for other Cuban critics.
Regarding the Cuban congress and reci-
procity, it is necessary to explain that no
general tariff law yet has been passed One
bin went through the house and another
through the senate; but these measures
have not been harmonized in the confer

ton has been to lower the duties on cheese
