The Growth Of italy.
From the New York Tribune


Italy presents a marked contrast to
France in point Of increase of popula ton.
We commented the other day upon the fact
that in the latter country the population Is
about stationary. the death and birth rates
being nearly equal The returns Of the re-
cent census in Italy are now published, and
they show a gratifying though not extraor-
binary growth Of population in the penin-
sula, despite the large emigration and the
hard times which have prevailed there in
late years. In round numbers the popula-
tion Of Italy is now 30 5OO,OO. That is an
increase Of more than 100000 in the last
twenty years. That is not large increase,
but 1t Is, on the whole, satisfactory. 1t Is
net. of course, the whole increase Of the
Italian race In these twenty years more
than 100000 Italians have emigrated to
other lands. The actual growth OF the race
has therefore been more than 6.ONO00 in
twenty years, or more than 1 per cent
year.
This does not, however. confirm the COM
mon idea that the Italians are an exception
ally prolific race. The growth of other ma
tions has been proportionately more rapid.
That of France has not been. That of Rus
STA has been effected by conquest and
States has been due to enormous inmigra-
ton as we'll as to high birth rate. But
while Italy in the ninteenth century in
creased from 100000 to 81, 100000 Or only
a little more than doubled Great Britain
grew from 10 000,G ,Gs0 to Al ,O00 900, and Ger
many from 24,OO0 eco to So O00, 600, and each
of those countries suffered as great loss
from wars Italy and considerably
greater loss through emigration.

A MERRY CEREMONY.
Kisses Collected in Lieu of Taxes on

The "hGcking,'' which takes place in Hun
gerford the Tuesday following the sec
ond Sunday after Easter, varies little from
that practiced in olden days in many other
parts of England. On the morning of Hook
Tuesday, of Hockney day. two officers,
named tithing, or 'tutti-men,' collectors of
a penny tithe. and bearers of nosegays or
''tutties,' in west country pariance, parade
the town. carrying each a staff ornament
ed with flowers bedecked with ribbons and
surmounted with an orange. Their busi-
ness is to call at every house and dema nd
a poll tax Of one penny from each inmate

Beggars in Rome.

William E. Curtis In the Chicago Record Herald.
Everybody who comes to Rome must ex-
peet to be swindled and disappointed. There
are many illusions. and you will be greatly
disappointed when you approach them and
they fade away. You will be swndled by
shOpkeepers, hackmen. peddlers and every
body that you have anything to do with,
and the beggars VII annoy you with their
persistence like the fakirs and flower girls
that follow you upon the street, but all
this is a part Of the experience OF every
body who comes here: only such annoy
ances are greater in Rome than in most
other places Begging is n profession as
In every Other Italian city, and the profits
are much larger, because there are more
strangers to appeal to. None but mex
perfenced beggars ever approach a native
Roman, because they know 1T is useless.
but they save all their energy and pathos
for strangers, particularly Americans and
English whom they follow with the great

Stuart Catarrh Tablets. the new Catarrh cure
has the following advantages over Other catarrh
remedies.
First: These tablets contain no cocaine, NOR.
phine or any other injurious drug and are as
safe and beneficial for children as for adults;
this is al important point when It Is recalled
that many catarrh remedies do contain these
very objectional ingredients.
Next: Being IN tablet form this remedy does
not deteriorate with age, or an exposure to the
air as liquid preparations Invariably do.
Next: The tablet form not only preserves the
medicinal properties but it is SO far moe con-
venient to carry and to use at any time that 1t Is
only question of time when the tablet will en-
tirely supersede liquid medicines as 1t has al
ready done in the medical department Of the
United States army.
Next: No secret is made of the compost
ton OF Stuart's Cetarrh Tablets; they con-
tain the active principle Of Eucalyptus bark, red
gum blood root and Hydrastn, all harmless anti
septics, which, however, are death to catarrhal
germs wherever found, because they eliminate
them from the blood.
Next: You can not cure catarrh by local appll-
cations to the nose and throat, because these are
simply local symptoms and such treatment can
not possibly reach the real seat Of catarrhal dis
ease which is the blood; for thisreason inhalers,
douches. sprays and powders never really cure

POISON VS.. CONSUMPTION.
Remarkable Results From Injection Of
Formic Aldehyde.
From the London Mail.

From the London Mail.
Is successful war being waged on con-
sumption by poison? The savants have been
experimenting lately in an entirely new di-
rectiOn in their search for. a cure for the
disease, and with such results as to raise
the highest hopes. The tubercuIar bacilli
are being poisoned in the lungs by an in
genious injection of solution of formic
aldehyde. and in many cases already, it is
stated, absolute cures have been effected.
Patients who were once regarded as con-
sumptives of the most hopeless class have,
following the treatment. been accepted by
life insurance companies as ''first-class
lives"
The inventor of the new treatment is DR..
Robert Mcguire the consumptive specialist
and physician to the Brompton Hospital
Some time ago DR.. Mcguire determined to
attack the bacilli in new way. The anti
septics hitherto used had to be SO mild as
not to injure the stomach, where they un-
derwent such further dilution as to be prac-
tically worthless. So with hypodermc in
1ections; while pricking the lungs was risky
and not to be too often repeated. Dr. Ma
guire thereupon decided injection into
the veins. and after lengthy and anxious
search he selected formic aldehyde as the
injection. The hole in the punctured vein
near the elbow is so small that it volun-
tar1ly heals up without treatment after
each operation.

DESERT ANIMALS.
Sandy Wastes Where Reptiles and
Quardupeds Thrive.

From the London Spectator
There are cold deserts and hot deserts.
but it is In the latter that the presence and
continuance of animal life are the more
remarkable. There are almost no places,
however hot the sun or watericss the sand,
where some life does not exist often of an
unexpected KIND. The Afghan delimita-
ton commiss on found that horrible
sandy desert which had to be crossed to
reach the boundary swarmed with large
snakes: and the waterless plains Of Ari-
zona abound in reptiles and insects.
Probably the least known desert in the
world is the Great Sahara. because the
oases in its center are occupied by intense
ly hostile and warlike tribes whose hatred
Of the French is Kind Of delir!um But
on its northern fringe two animals are
found which seem specially adapted for
life in this forbidden land. They are the
aldax antelope and Loder's gazelle. The
addaX is an ugly, awkward-looking animal
with spiral horns, and very widespread
hocfs which enc bic it to go al a great pace
over the sand. Pliny knew OF it's existence
and was naturally interested in it, for as
South Africa was as yet unvisted this
was one Of the few species Of antelope
known to the anc'ents. 1t was not redis-
covered till Ruppell found it near Dongola.
AS it is rather a large iantelone it requires
considerable amount OF food. and the
difficulty which suggested Itself was to dis
cover where it feGnd this food
1t Is now fairly certain that the addax
follows the rains! which fall at certain sea-
sons. and probably travels vast distances
in the wake Of the seasonal storms The
immense area of desert in northern Africa
makes this possible. though without spe-
cial knowledge OF Ithe3 met eorology of that
part of the continent 1t would be unsafe to
assert that there Is always raj going on in
some part Of theedesert fringe. How the
addax supports Itself in these absolutely
dry intervals is mot known Gazelles are
mainly desert animals. but Loder's gazelle
seems to have rather more than the family
leaning toward the lands of thirst and
sand. Another gazelle2di iffering very little
from it is quite common on the edge of the
desert: but this CITE ature never came near
the fringe CT civilization. and it was not
till n special expedition was organized that
any trustworthy tidinEs were obtained Of
It, When at last it was found it was in a
place not absolutely waterless, for there
was a well. the sides of which were made
OF woven haifa-grass. some where in the

formed in the lungs had healed up, and
every trace Of the bacilIi had dfsa Dpea red.
That is to say, such a cure had been ef-
fected that if the patient then submitted
himself to another medical man. ignorant
of what had taken place, the latter would
indubtably declare that the patient had
never had consumption at all. Take an in
stance. one of the most remarkable imagin-
able. Some time ago young man, Il bank
clerk. came for DR.. Maguire's treatment.
He was in of the last stages of con-
sumption. In less than two months from
that date there was not trace of con-
sumption about him, and, most convincing
test of ALL he was accepted by an insurance
office as n first-ciass life.

Another Careless Wife.

From the Kansas City Journal.

AS they went along the wife discovered
that her shoe had not been tied, and she
asked her husband to tie it, AS the hus-
band went down on one knee to perform
this service a six shooter slipped from his
pocket and was discharged, the ball pass
ing through his leg and shattering his
kneecap. 1t is simply a repetition of the
old. old story of the carelessness of women
