Making American Citizens.

In that useful little weekly paper
called Charities, which very few New
York people ever see, there appeared
recently about twenty articles describ.
ing the progress that has been made
by the Italians in New York City.
There are nearly 100000 Italians in
New York. Fifty thousand of them
are boys and girls in the public
schools. There are lis doctors. six.
ty-three druggists, twenty one lawyers
fifteen school teachers, nine architects
and seven mechanical engineers. 80
Nearly all of the Italians in Ameri.
ca come from three provinces in Italy.
At home they were farm labOrers,
earning from thirty to forty cents a
day. and living in little stone cabins.
Some of the immigrants had small
farms of their own, but the land is
poor and the Italians have nothing to
work it with except spades. Their life
was a hand to hand struggle against
starvation and debt.-New York Jour.

The DEVELOPMENT OF NEVADA.

No state in the Union has so long
and so badly needed an increase OF
population as has Nevada, says the
National Geographic Magazine. Her
population of $4,000 to-day is less
than it was in 1870, six years after
her admission as a state. 1t Is graf
flying to know, therefore, that she
will more than double her present
numbers when the vast government
irrigation works begun on the True
kee and Carson rivers are completed
II is estimated that the works Will
make productive about $4,000 acres
of sage brush desert in the western
part of the state. These lands will
furnish fertile homesteads OF about
eighty acres each for 1880 families.
Towns and villages will naturally
spring up, so that Nevada may expect
from the reclamation an increase OF
10000 at the least

able Beast Kills His Trainer.
Another distinct type Of ZOO rogue
is the beast that goes wrong owing to
accidental mptation-like Shaggy,
an exceedingly intelligent, tractable
Rocky Mountain grizzly who reverted
to savagery and turned man-killer In
a twinkling, owing to the unfortunate
misstep and fall of his trainer.
Shaggy was a big, handsome, gray
old fellow, with jungle-thick coat and
I numbering, awkward gait, and fun
ny twinkle that made him particularly
adaptable for his part Of clown in 9
remarkably trained group OF fourteen
bears. He had come under the hands
Of his teacher when but helpless
cub, had never lost his liking for ca
resses, and, although the mightiest
Oeast in the collection, was least sus
pected Of being dangerous. Once, when
a striped hyena hung to the ankle OF
his friend. he had run to the rescue,
and cut loose right and left with his
ponderous fore paws, and had bitten
and torn and mangled the ugly beast
to death before he could be beaten
off, Among his accomplishments were
that of turning admirably grotesque
somersaults and the more difficult feat
Of balancing himself on his hind legs
on three-foot wooden sphere.
Not a scratch or a scar had his
trainer to show for the years OF work
he had put in with the bear. And yet,
without an instants warning, this
same beast attacked and injured his
master SO that, when rescued, he was
semi-demented, and so dreadfully cut
and lacerated that the surgeons de-
cided it useless to try to save his life
