Italians In New York.

Food for the average Italian family
does not cost much; bread, macaroni,
beans, form the basis, with veal, chick
en-, small pan fish and picked fish and
salads for Sunday. Except bread and
macaroni, the food eaten is In small
quantities. To one who watches them
hourly they are patient and certain
ly a most grateful people. The small
est thing done for them brings gra1-
tude out of all proportion to the act.
They are excitable, but not quarrel
some suspicious and untruthful, but
they mind their own business better
than any people the writer has yet
found. They follow leader without
question. 1t is the last quality which
makes the Italian voter the Joy Of the
district leader, the despair Of the
statesman.
The women are as dead to politics
as wooden cigar image. Election
evening 1t was suggested to three moth
ers born In this country, and on the
street on which they were living, TO

that indicated the returns. They look

CONFIDENCE UNDER WATER.
How This First Essential In swfm-
ming May BE Acquired.

A person who Is tlmid about the wa
ter can overcome the greatest part OF
the difficulty of learning to swim by
the proper use of a wash basin.
The obstacle that nervous persons
meet in the water is not the conscious
fear OF drowning, but an involuntary
nervous shock that causes them to
gasp for air even before their fSces are
under water. II Is this gasping for
breath that browns people.
They cannot control the gasping, and
consequently they often snap for
breath when their mouths are under
water. AS the buoyancy Of a human
body is easily disturbed, few pints or
quarts Of water swallowed in these in
voluntary gasping acts serve to sink
person who otherwise would foat long
enough for help to arrive.
Now, II q person afflicted with this
involuntary fear of getting under wa
ter will thrust the whole face gently
into an ordinary basin full OF water
every day and stay there as long as
possible 1t will be only short time be-
fore the gasping sensation begins to
disappear
Then the bathtub should be used, 80
that the bather, lying full length, can
immerse the entire head. At first this
will bring back all the old frightening
sensations Of suffocation, but the at
tacks will be Of short duration, and
within few days it will be found that
the total immersion can be maintained
for almost a full minute without dis
comfort of any kind.
Once a person has learned how per-
fectly comfortable one can be under
water the first great step has been
taken toward learning to swim.
Many otherwise good swimmers have
never really acquired this calmness
under water. The result is that when
such a swimmer is caught in an under
tow or a swirling current his conf
dence leaves him as soon as he feels
himself dragged under the surface. In
stead Of diving or remaining motion
less and so preserving his breath he
gasps involuntarily and naturally swal-
lows water, and the choking sensation
at once forces him to exhale what
breath he has left and gasp again.
Confidence under water should be
the first lesson in swimming.

Warts and moies May BE Dangerous.

The members Of the American Acad-
DENY Of Medicine showed much inter
est in a paper by d.. W. W. Keen OF
Philadelphia on the dangers OF warts
and moles. DR.. Keen compared wart
to "a match that can produce a great
confagration," and recommended that
all such growths be removed at once
while yet in the harmless stage.
The danger of warts lies in the fact
that after years Of harmless existence
something may cause them to spread
Out of twenty-five persons affected by
the malignant spread Of warts eleven
died in spite Of operations, sometimes
even amputations
DR.. Keen's hearers agreed with him
that every wart and mole should be
destroyed at once and said that he
had done well in bringing the matter
to public attention.

More Tolerance Now.

There is more tolerance and human
ity in the modern church. In ancient
times no mercy was shown by the lead
ers Of the church to hereties. When
they heard Of men who differed from
the doctrines of the church they imme-
diately got together their thumbscrews
and instruments Of torture. They start
ed forth with sword and spear and bat,
tleax. They said, "If you will not be-
lieye as we believe we will cut out
your tongue and blind your eyes and
cripple your feet and burn your homes
and slay your sons and daughters"

in him to make him both religious:
and talkative. He kept his tongue.
running until a very late hour, when
after taking a fresh drink he decided
to have PRAYERS. Mr.. Dobbin had al
ready been shown his room, but,
sleepy and tired though he was, he
thought it was his duty to remain in
the family room until worship. The
old gentleman said he had lost his
spectacles, and he would dispense with
reading; so he said in a very sancti-
monious tone of voice: Let us all
pray" Mr.. Dobbin said afterward he
remained on his knees at least an
hour by which time the wife and
children We're all asleep-some of
them snoring. He said he could ste nd
it no longer; so he quietly stole out
OF the room and went to bed. He
did not know at what hour of the
night it was when the prayer en ded,

one or two o'clock. He did no.: see

Mrs. c. C. Barbee, mother of Messrs

now living with her nephew, Mr. Ed
Barbee, was the youngest daughter.
In 1852, on the election of Pierce

President, the people of Cumberland

of the event, and as l was a very en-
thusiaStic young Democrat and felt
very much like jubilating, / went with
company Of young Democrats from

Fayetteville to witness the celebration
of an event that had thrilled the
country from Maine to Texas. / DO
not remember how it happened, but I
was put upon the program to make a
speech from the steps of Mr.. RAJ
boteau's residence, when the torch
light procession should halt there that
night. All the afternoon L spent in
getting my thoughts into shape, pre-
pairing a setting for one or two good
anecdotes, and arranging a climax
that would send the throng to the
next stopping place with good
opinion of the young Democrat from
Wake. The moment arrived; a thou
sand voices hurrahed for Pierce ana
King. The master of ceremonies in
stentorian voice quelled the babel By
saying: Fellow citizens, on this glad
occasion, when our whole country is
thrilled with joy. it does our hearts
good to shake the hands of gallant
Democrats who, in other sections of
our beloved old State, have been
marching under the same flag with us
and especially is it a pleasure to have

Quart of WhiSkey he couldn't walk 1t.
The line ran across the road and ter
mir ated at a low fence, ana he was TO
start at a certain point and walk to-
ward the fence. He staggered to the
starting place, took off his hat, so he
could see better and started. On this,
then on that side, he staggered; then,
as if determined to make the trip all
right he struck trot and drove right
ahead until he struck the fence,
which, being only about three feet
high, he fell over and plunged head
foremost into a barrel of tar which
had been buried near the fence, the
top of the open barrel being about on
level with the ground. That was
on Saturday. Sunday he failed get

LONG-DISTANCE
 WIRELESS PLAN

The navy department is prepar- ing to erect and equip long-dis- tance telegraphy station at Farallon islands. The station is already un. der way of construction and when it is completed it will be possible to transmit messages for more than ,ooo miles ill any direction. Nat urally the opportunity to signal and converse with ships 1000 miles distant will be the principal advan- tage of the new station. How much farther the instruments will trans init than the distance named re- mains for experiment to show.
