Fashionable Life In italy.

The fashionable season in Italy, says
Luigi Nllari in italian Life In Town
and Country" is from Christmas to
Easter the time generally known as
the carnival At Naples. Messina and
some other places there is also a sum-
mer season. Commenting on the pc
euliarities of life among the upper
classes, Mr. Yillari says:
Italians, even in the grandest estab-
iishments, do not wear evening dress
for dinner unless there is a party. A
black coat is enough for ordinary pur-
poses. A few men who wish to be par
tieularly fashionable wear a smoking
coat with black tie, which garment
is sufficient for all save very large din
ner parties and balls. On the other
hand. there are occasions when a man
dons his dress clothes by day. 1t is de
rigueur at court functions, even in
mornings, and at weddings. Ladies
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 a fine display. The
tall hat is only necessary at marriages,
funerals and at court. Young men of
fashion wear 1t also when paying calls
during the season. Among the bour-
eeoisie evening clothes are hardly ever
worn at all. !"

she replied giving remarkably just
and detailed appreciation of the va

Are you satisfed?" asked a friend.
Tissot answered in the negative. He
entirely reprinted his picture. working
night and day.
When finished. he sent again for his
fair critic. who pronounced it admira-
Die and remained silently admiring it
with smiling criticism.
Are you satisfied?'' asked the friend
again when the lady had departed.
NO" replied the artist, and he set to
work fm the third time.
When the Parisienne saw the new
painting. she gazed at it for some mo-
ments with evident emotion and then
without word sank softly to her
knees and began to pray.
Are you satisfied nowY whispered
the friend. and Tissot said YES"

Two Clever Statesmen.

One crisis in Lord Palmerston's life
illustrates the absolute good humor
which may prevail even when political
enmity is at its worst. Lord Derby had
made an attack upon him IN the upper
house with such energy and eloquenee
that the odds against him seemed over
whelming But he defended himself
and his policy from the dusk of one
day to the dawn of another with such
tact, deXterity and force of appeal to
the national sense of honor that he was
acquitted of all blame by a majority of
fourscore.
Next day in passing through the cor
ridor leading from an anteroom to the
upper house one swing door opened to
his hand and at the same moment the
other to that of Lord Derby They
were opponents, but they were also
manly and sweet natured men. They
smiled
Il was just thinking" said Palmer
ston, "what a clever fellow he was who
so nearly put me In a hole"
"Ah," was the rejoinder, "but moth
ing like the eleverness Of the fellow
who got you ont of it!'

Tho Eirnf Skaters.

1t is very doubtful which race first
skated. for traces have been found
among prehistoric remains all over
northern Europe indicating that the
art WIS praeticed by primitive peoples.
The Eskimo of the farthest north are
also found to be in possession of run
ners carved from whalebone.
Skating is mentioned by Danish
historian about 1874, and F'itzstephen
in his History of London" says that
In the twelfth century young men
fastened the leg bones of animals I'M
der their feet by means of thongs in
order to slide along the ice. This
statement is confirmed by the pair of
bone skates of the period now in the
British museum. 1t is likely. however,
that these early Londoners got the
idea from Holland, probably via Lin
colnShire. where skates have been
used on the frozen fens from very re-
mote times.

which to condemn first, the boaster or

Indeed. the envy and sometimes the
skepticism of his friends have been ex-
cited by the number of successful au-

as to hint darkly at similarity of
handwriting throughout the collection.

of Chaucer, and one evening when a

deadly thrusts. it was with a smiling

who contended that only landowners
should be allowed to vote at elections,
he said, Pray tell me how many acres

like this squeezing your toe when you

crab measuring twelve feet, is proba-
bly, the largest crustacean in the world
The specimen Is a type of the spider
crab which inhabits the waters OF the
group of islands forming the empire
of Japan. The body portion is the size
of a half bushel measure, while its
two great arms or "feelers" could cas-
lily encircle the figure of man. It's
eight arms or legs resemble huge
bamboo poles and are extremely elias

would reach to the top of four story

is the faculty of assuming disguise
by afiixing pieces of seaweed and
sponges to the body.
