Graduates Wore Uniforms and Styled
 Themselves MaIavita.
 As an instance of the way secret so- cieties like the Mafla are organized in southern Italy it is worth reporting that the Italian police recently arrest ed seventy-one persons, all members of a secret organization called the Mala- vita in the city of Foggia, says the Rome correspondent of the New York World
 It was discovered that the society was organized to commit all sorts of crimes, from highway robbery to kid naping. Two schools were found, one to teach the way to use the knife and the other for pickpockets. An admis- sion fee of few francs was charged, and the members were divided into three classes and promoted from one to the other by sort of supreme court with headquarters at Barletta.
 The distinctive uniforms of the mem bers consisted of red scarf to be worn as belt and long curl hanging down the forehead or green scarf for those of lower degree in the society. If any one of the members was arrested other members volunteered to give per- jured testimony in his behalf, while few more took charge of the witnesses for the prosecution, whom they scared by threats into refusing to testify A special recruiting department was also feature of the society.

NEWSPAPER FOR CRANks.
aTake Nothing For Grantedo Is New
 PublfcatiOn's Motto

1Take Nothing For Grantedo Is New
 Publications Motto.
 On Jan. No. 1, volume l. of the Crank, described as s'the unconventional maga- zine," was published in London at the not altogether unconventional price of threepence, says cable dispatch to the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 According to the promoters, 1t is to be the organ of all people who think for themselves. There is, however, an important reservation. Readers and contributors must think in 8 manner which is thoroughly consistent with genuine social progress. Hopes are en- tertained that the circulation will eventually reach 50 ,OOO or BO, GOO copies
 The new magazine will appeal more directly to the following sections: Vege tarians, socialists, anarchists, passive resisters, Tolstotans, higher thinkers '' spiritualists, theosophists, Quakers, antivivisectionists.
 The aims and objects of the new journal were explained by the editor, Miss F. D. Warland, a young lady ! w AO, HI d l1llies uADICICutkOuS Ol4SC HI a narrow side street off Ludgate hill is busily engaged in asserting the del uge of crank literature.
 .The magazine" she declared, "has for it's definition the witty sayings of Henry George, "A little thing that makes revolutions and for it's motto Take nothing for granted We are opposed to specialization and stand for fuidity Tn brief, we desire to re- store the term crank as definition of a wise thinking person. Our policy will be to advance from materialism toward something better. We would like, to see the world conducted upon the prin- ciple of real love-"
 There will be no lack of "crank'' con- tributions to this crank journal. The most extraordinary of all ''cranks" who will contribute to the new Journal is a doctor of philosophy who firmly re- fuses to handle or deal in money and manages to live upon what he calls the service and good will of other people. He possesses cottage in the country, but seldom occupies it, preferring to sleep out in the open air, with only a blanket for covering

New Type of Engine.

From Germany comes news of To- comotive worked by steam and yet in- dependent of fire of it's own. The en- zine has just been completed at the Hohenzollern works at Dusseldorf and is of type designed for shunting in explosive factories. Instead of carry ing fire in its own boiler it is filled with steam from stationary boilers and when so charged is capable of several hours work The first warming up occupies half an hour, and subsequent recharg- ing can be done in quarter of an hour. The apparatus is so simple that an unskilled workman is able to look after it. The absence of fire in place where dynamite or gunpowder is being handled is the reason for the invention of this type of engine.

HOME REMEDIES.

How to Cure Various Ills Without
 Calling the Doctor.
 Tn the medicine chest there can be many home remedies to obviate the ire quent calls of the doctor and to furnish the ounce of prevention which is worth a pound of cure, says the Chicago Trib- sune.
 A bottle of camphor, we'll corked, is useful for bathing an aching forehead. Toothache often yields to bit of cot ton saturated with it, and pimples and blackheads disappear if the affected parts are frequently bathed with this remedy.
 Alcohol is useful for bathing parts affected by neuralgia or rheumatism, and arnica is comforting for bruises, sprains and Jumps of all sorts.
 Pure turpentine is convenient for cuts and bruises and scratches and all sorts of injuries when the flesh is torn. Be fore doing up the wound in gauge pour on little turpentine, and it will heal more rapidly.
 A package of ordinary cooking soda finds place in the well appointed med icine closet. A handful placed in the hot water in which the feet are bathed does much to relieve tired or blistered or aching feet. A teaspoonful in half glass of cold water relieves sick stomach, while little used as tooth powder keeps the teeth free from tar tar and beautifully white.
 Every trace of soda must be rinsed off tho foot31 ovcrv lime if ic usod A generous handful in the bath removes the odor of perspiration, besides strengthening and toning the system. It removes blackheads if the parts af- fected are first moistened and then COW cred with as much of the soda as will stick. Leave it on the face until the skin begins to smart, then remove by gently bathing the face with warm wa ter and drying it with bit of soft old linen.
 A pinch of soda often relieves tooth ache.

HOW to save rraveling Hats.

A mother with two little girls who wore dainty white hats wreathed with flowers got on train for short jour- ney. Instead of permitting the pretty hats to become grimy and dusty, as is too often the case with juvenile trav- elers, she took them from the heads of the children when she had comfort ably settled in her seat. After care fully placing the hats each in paper bag large enough to hold them with out crushing she deposited them in the rack overhead. At the end of her jour- ney the hats were unwrapped and the bags thrown from the car window. The small maids walked out in fresh, clean hats, looking quite their prettiest, to meet grandfather at the station.

 Since stamp photographs have be- come fad new ideas for mounting them have been devised. One of the quaintest methods for the western girl or the girl who has returned east with souvenirs from the western woods is to mount her stamp pictures on the brown bark of the eucalyptus or on yucca or orange wood.
