operations was being constantly changed, and my
hands were always exposed to the worst malarial
influences. | employed over hundred hands,
and the work conducted as much in water as
out of it. For this reason, in August and Septem-
Der there great loss of time and business,
account of sickness among the workers.
My attention then called to Johnson's Chill
and Fever Tonic, and | determined to give the
medicine trial. | procured it, and those who
were sick put on this treatment and those Who
were feeling badly were at once given the Tonic.
In short time every one ofthe one hundred hands
was well and reported for duty; and from that time
on used nothing else but Johnson's Tonic, and
never had another case of fever.
Yours very truly,

culiar dullness in the head, comes sleep, and after sleep death. The same pro- cess is followed in killing cats.
 The dog shelter is also sort of plae- ing-out bureau for homeless csAanes. When one is starting for a long jour ney. or for some other reason thinks 1t necessary to give up his dog, the ami mai may be taken to the shelter, and will be kept there and exhibited to any one who calls and wishes to adopt a pet. But should an inquiry fail to come within the allotted time the death war rant is sealed, and into the tank goes the dog. But the poor creature without a home or master. and who is captur- ed and taken to the shelter in one of the society's wagons is absolutely with out hope. He has only forty-eight hours to live. If one who calls at the shelter should take fancy to such one and wish to adopt him the thing could not be done; the, law of the city forbids. For the dog which has stray ed from home and is taken to the shel- ter there are just forty-eight hours, and no more. in which he may hope to see his master. Think what a period of Suspense-if the animal knew.
 In the parks, children and dogs are taken for outings together, equals be- fore the nursemaid. In fact, in other instances, too, the child and the dog art placed on equal footing; for example, in apartments where dogs and children are not allowed.'' In the great city where there is no longer ground space to spare, the roofs of the buildings be- come back yards, and the manager of one of the tall New York hotels has put the roof of his building to a unique use. It is the backyard in which he keeps his dogs, for he has a very fine kennel of English bulldogs. The entire roof is their romping place, and in one corner is little brick building. which is the kennel, and which contains on both sides several tiers of stalls for the dogs. But queerest of all Is the device for giving the creatures their exercise. This is treadmill, the movable floor being placed on an angle, so that when the dog is not moving he will slip back ward out of the mill. This exercise has developed fine muscles on the backs of the fierce looking brutes, and it serves for a substitute for country rambles.- Leslie's Weekly.

with the papal authorities, but the gov- ernment had no legal way to settle marital trouble except by a legal "sep- aration," which did not unmarry the couple, and therefore gave no right to contract second matrimonial union. It is this evil which the government pro-
 poses to correct by the new bill for di- vorce which has now become the vital
 issue for the Banardelli cabinet.
 The existing law, which provides for
 separation, but without the right to
 either party to remarry, stipulates as
 sufficient cause marital infldelity, vol
 untary abandonment, excesses, cruelty, threats and grave injury, sentence to
 prison or other confinement for g. period
 of twenty years or more. when such sentence was not prior to marriage.
 The new divorce bill is entitled: For the Dissolution of Matrimony," and pro- vides, first, that when "separation"
 shall have been granted for the reasons
 now legal and shall have continued for
 one year where there are not children, and three if there be children, then the party who secured the separation may demand an absolute divorce, and be- come as free as if the consort were dead. The new law provides for alimonv for the wife, and stipulates that the rights
 of the children to their inheritance shall not be affected, but that neither divorc-
 ed husband or wife shall inherit from
 the other. Women of foreign birth who
 have become citizens lose this right up-
 on being divorced.
 American heiresses who may be think ing of buying an Italian prince should look of this law carefully. should it be | enacted, for it contains several provi- sions that may interest them later.
 Right to remarry is not granted except
 to the one securing the divorce. Parties
 once divorced may not be reunited with
 out repetition of the original civil cer- emony. Nothing is said, of course, about any other ceremony, which is unneces-
 sary, as the church would not have any thing to do with the matter, having once married the couple for good and for all.-New York Evening Post.

NOW ITS THE CITY DOG.

The Transient Animal, at Least, is Sub
 ject to Many Hardships.
 The transient dog in the big city has Ia precarious existence. His being in big hotel is made a secret as though his presence were disgrace. He is given over to the porter, and even the doubt full care which the pet then receives costs it's master about fifty cents day The porter usually takes the unfortun- ate animal to the dark basement and ties him there. As long as the master is a guest of the house the dog is fed but he is given no freedom. But the lot of the transient dog is much better than that of the unfortunate permanent residen who has lost his home. The number of homeless dogs put to death each year in New" York is astonishing. Last year the Society for the Proven ton of Cruelty to Animals, to which the city shifted the responsibility of the regulation of the dog question, destroy ed 25,000 dogs in the Shelter" which is the name given to what is usually known as the dog pound" But that numberis small when compared with the destruction of cats. In 1891 65,000 New York cats met a humane death. This killing of stray dogs and cats Is per formed in the most scientific manner. It is death which is practically pain less. The dogs and cats are asphyxi- ated by gas. In the Shelter" is a long, air-tight tank. The unfortunate dog tramps and foundlings are put into this tank, the doors are shut, and a large volume of gas is turned on. The first effect is drowsiness. There is no cllok- ing, as many suppose.

MARRIAGE IN ITALY.
The Complications of Church and State
 Make it Far From Simple.

Ihe COnpllcatlQnS or CnurCn ana SLaLe
 Make it Far From Simple.
 At present the laws of Italy concern ing marriage are a curious mixture of excellence and defective provisions. It must be remembered that the national parliament makes all the laws there, so that they are uniform throughout the country. When the modern government was set up only thirty years ago, there was g. confused tumble of institutions to deal with, based upon the fragments of kingdoms and dukedoms, with the old Roman law underlying all, of course as modified by the papacy.
 Among other intolerable conditions was the marriage custom. There was no recognized marriage except that per- formed by priest in accordance with the rites of the church. The result was clerical extortion to such an extent among the peasant classes, in the rural district especially, poor people married themselves, as was the custom in Cuba under SSanish rule.> and for the same reason. One of the first things to do then was to correct this evil, and the new parliament went to the other ex- tren1e. and formulated law under which no marriage has any force, or carries with 1t any right or obligations whatever, except performed by a civil officer and in manner strictly provid- ed. Thus marriage according to the rites and usages of the church was not only discredited but legally abolished. So at the present time the marriage in church gives no right of dover, no in- heritance, and no legitimacy to children. In fact, so far as civil rights are con- cerned, 1t is an empty form and void.
 ., This, however, did not settle the ques~ tion from the popular standpoint. Nat urally the church retorted by declaring the civil marriage mockery, and this hostile attitude has had great weight. Many priests will perform the marriage ceremony when there has been no civil marriage, and useless social perplexities result. The children of such unions 'ava no rights, and can not inherit the
