Our Debt to Italy.

Economically considered, Italy is
contributing greatly to the prosperity
of America A large part of her sur
plus population is digging our tun-
nels, building our railways and sup
porting a multitude of our industries.
This element has it's vices-usually
the inheritance OF dynasties of mis-
rule-and coming chiefly from the
south of Italy, sometimes fails to
show us the more lovable and gentlA
side of the people. But it is a hard
working, frugal, and fairly law-abiding
race, even here, and, however, 1T may
be misled for time, has no menace
for free institutions beyond any orner
ignorant foreign population. 1t will
be sad for Italy if her children shall
take back from America to that dem
ocratic land lessons of oppression and
inequality drawn from the purchase
of favors before the law. Until we
are sure that we are not teaching
them such lessons, we should do well
to speak more softly of the degener-
acy of the country they have left or
of the dangers to our civilization in
volved in their coming.-From an
Editorial in Century.

Money in COrnerstOnes.

The practice of putting money under
the foundation stone of a new build
ing is the shadow of an older tragic
custom. The money stands theoreti-
cally for the ransom of the human be-
ing who by ancient superstition should
have been burr d in its place.
There was;a time when this particu-
lar kind of human sacrifice had a
vogue extending to most parts Of the
world. Even in England skeletons
have been found imbedded in the bases
of castle walls, and there is record of
one German fortress at the building
of which a child was bought from it's
mother with hard cash and walled in
to the donjon tower, the unnatural
mother, according to the story, looking
on the while. Efligies of human beings
are still used in some parts of Europe
as harmless substitutes, and in remoter
and more ruthless places the old GUS
tom crops out from time to time in all
its grim reality. Within the last half
century two children, a boy and a
girl were, it was reported, walled into
blockhouse by some laborers at
Duga, Asiatic Turkey.-NeW York
Times.

Startling Figures,

The vast amount of money wasted
every year in the repairing OF bad
roads was dwelt upon by many speak
ers at q recent convention. 1t was
stated that this sum so expended if
capitalized would show that the peO-
pie of the United States are paying
the interest annually by bad roads on
two and one-half times what the Ma
tional debt was at the end of the Civil
War. These figures, derived from au-
thoritative sources, were startling to
many of the delegates and they have
determined to go to work and mold a
public sentiment that will lead to a re-
form,

The Man in Love.

The ordinary man in love is a sorry
sight compared with his mistress. He
makes his love conventionally and con-
tinually disappoints the WOMAN, who
wishes to see new lights CLEAN in his
eyes. He is in poignant fear of discov-
cry; he has horror of ridicule; his
one dread is lest he make a fool of
himself. But a woman is a cheap chit
indeed if she spends a thought on
such nonsense; her abandon is SUI
perb.-London Queen.

"A run down" as result OF

@"--''aA"A ture news about Professor
L&ngley's "buzGard," recently conclud-
ed to so into the rural districts of
Maryland to recuperate. After few
days of rest, his journalistic instinct
reasserted itself, and he decided it
would be an amusing experience to
30 out and interview !, some of the
farmers Securing a pad, he started
up the road sharpening his pencil and
whstling one OF Sousa's latest
mapches. Before long he saw a farmer
cutting corn in a field alongside tue
road. Climbing the rail fence, he
hailed the farmer pleasantly, and after
"a few remarks about the weather and
the crops, explained his errand.
want to interview me, eh?" said the
farmer, Il never had any experience
givin' interviews. but if your heart is
set on it, go ahead What do you want
me to talk about"
"WelI," said the reporter, scratching
his lose ref1ectively, suppose you give
mesyour views on reciprocity"
Couldn't have suited me better for
"a subject, Mister. The fact is, I've
been thinkin' good deal about reci-
'procity lately. I believe in it. j
don't mean reciprocity with Cuba or
Canada, although that may all be very

what do you propose?' asked the
wielder of the pencil. who began to see
that he was getting more than he ex-
lpected.
"Well," said the farmer. II want
some plan adopted by which part Of
the revenue collected will get back
4 the rural districts. 1 understand
tul<sefs a fellow down there in Con-
gress who has introduced a bill that
will do the business. 1 mean that bill
Iprovidin' for the Government to aid
in infprovin' the roads in the rural

everybody Talk about developing re-
sources! I'd like to know what would
do more to develop this country than
building good roads. If this plan was
adopted, a few millions of the taxes
the farmers pay would come back to
them. and there couldn't be no charge
of especial privilege, either. for the
money would be spent for public i'm
provement, and would benefit all sec

Easter at the Russian Church in New
York.

Strange and weird was the impress
sion, when, after the first part OF
the services a procession, led by the
Bishop and formed of priests and dea-
cons, followed by the Consul-Gen-
eral in full uniform, descended from
the altar and passed out Of the church
by q side door exit, only lighted by
q few torches Almost breathlessly
impressive was the suspense as the
congregation waited, hushed and rev.
erent, evidently looking for something
further. Soon solemn dirge-like
chant was heard, and lights began to
CLEAN afar. Nearer and nearer came
the music, bursting into loud and ex-
ultant strains, and through the cen
trail doors came the procession again,
no longer quiet and subdued, but JOY
GUS with their Resurrection message.
The great crystal chandelier became
a mass of light, and men and women
standing near the procession each
lighted the candle they held from
those carried by the priests, and pass
ed the light to their next neighbor.
On and on in this way the lights
cleaned, until the whole body of wor-
shippers became aflame, softened and
illumined by the candle light, and
their spirits reused to fervid enthus-
iasm as they answered, He is risen
indeed From Social Service.
