NEW Works. MAcARoNI.

1t Is Made in Little Italy" just as 1t
Is Across the Sea.
Down In Little Italy" on the east
side in Roosevelt street. In James
street. New York, there are several
places where the customs of Italy Of
the middle ages prevail where the peo-
pie live, think and work as they did
when Columbus was still drawing
maps. These are the macaronl shops
where spaghetti and vermicelli are
manufactured by the same primitive
methods that existed hundreds OF years
ago. 4
One may wander down these narrow,
gloomy streets and with little effort
imagine he is in the Italy OF long ago;
the ancient houses, the narrow door
ways and the nondescript costumes OF
the people all will help the deception
along. Over some Of the windows and
doors are signs painted in drunken
looking letters that read: "Fabrica di
macaronl, spageti e paste"
For all that could be proved to the
contrary, these signs might have been
doing service in the crooked streets Of
republican Naples. So might some Of
the people-they look old enough, wrln-
kled and worn enough. From inside
comes the clacklng of primitive ma
chinery, hand-turned presses and hand
turned cutters of macaroni paste Long
lines of stringy dough are stretched
across the rooms, long ribbons Of dough
fringe the edges of gloomy shelves.
Sheets of dough like washed shirts
hung out to dry decorate the walls;
wherever one turns there Is dough.
Swarthy men stripped to the waist
push around the wooden poles Of the
macaroni presses while underneath
the long white strings are squeezed
out of perforated sheets of iron.
Macarroni and spaghetti are staple
articles In the Italian district and while
many people will use only the imported
article there are others who think the
home made product is just as good and
the number of manufacturers Is In
creasng In one Of the New York es
adjustments only imported" goods are
made. The shrewd proprietor said;
Il buya da empty box and fila den

To prove his cleverness he showed {
stock of boxes which had come fillet
from Italy, but into which the New
York product had been packed will
''intent to deceive"
The tubular article is the macaron
and this Is made in various sizes, bu
the lengths are all the same. The end
y or scraps of the various sizes are pack
ed In boxes and sold at reduced rates
Some of this Italian staple Is sold out
side the Italian district, but the create
part Is consumed there and the manu-
facturers say that the fact that thel
own people. who are good judges. bu
1t is proof of its superiority.
Another branch of the business, say
the New York Tribune, is making noe
dies. These are stripes varying l
width from one-thirty second to one
fourth inch. The paste for these
better and 1t is sold almost excluslvel
to the Jewish population on the eas
side.

Pig Living in Luxury.

At Epping, England, Miss Emily
Hampton was summoned to court for
keeping a pig in manner which was
dangerous to health. The inspector OF
nuisanees said he found the pig occu-
pying the whole of one room In the
defendants house. 1t was lying be-
tween clean sheets on a feather bed
covered with a white lace counterpane'
Its head rested on a pillow. The room
was furnished like q parlor. There
were Illuminated texts on the walls
and defendant was kneellng down kiss

boy" because 1t had eaten small por

President Mckinley and Hermann

Madame Adelaide Hermann. the
widow of the famous prestidigitateur,
relates the following amusing incident,
which occurred at the last meeting Of
President Mckinley and Prof Her
mann. between whom a strong friend
ship existed:
When he was last In Columbus, Ohio,
Prof. Hermann called on Mai. McKin-
ley. who was then governor. As he
started to go Prof Hermann said:
major. | may not see you soon again
and have never given you anything
by which you may remember me- Let
me make you a present Of this"
Taking his nand be placed a fine dla'
mond ring on one of his fingers. Mai

a friend who was present said:
-Oa. by the way. Governor. will yot

The Governor held up his hand bu
was astonished TO find the ornament
gone. There was no ueed to ask ques
tions about the mystery Hermann
had left as a mementO. Instead Of th,

of which the Major was the victim.

ranging in caliber from the S-ineh-
breech-loading, high-pOwered rifle to
the l-pounder. Each vessel will mount
four S-lnch and fourteen 6-inch guns
which will constitute the main batter
les. The auxiliary armament is made
I'D of eighteen 3-inch. twelve 3-pound-
ers eight l-pounders, two 3-pounder
field guns. two machine guns and six
automatic pieces.
Such an armament reveals a tenden-
cy to return to the old method Of CIV
ing a ship as many guns as she could
carry and serve effectively. In the old
days Of the sailing navy some Of the
llne.Of-battle ships. notably the Penn
sylvanla. carried as many as 1870 guns.
Very few Of these pieces were OF
heavier caliber than the 80 or AZ pound
ers. The 6s-pnunder was then regard
ed as very heavy caliber, and the
larger shell gun was supplied but spar
ingly.
