An Old Italian Custom.

In the Val di Rose in Italy pop
ular custom which is known as "the
offering" has been repeated for CEN
turtles on Christmas day. Crowds
of the faithful convey to shrine
gifts of oranges and pomegranates,
gathered from each worshiper's own
farm, and place them at the foot Of
the altar of the Redeemer, who is
represented by boy holding globe
and surrounded on all sides by olive
branches, wax candles and votive
lamps. Every officer wears the typ
ical costume Of the valley, and the
men assume the traditional head
dress. This rite is said to be con-
nected with the visit of the magi to
Bethlehem.

Court In a Railway Car.

A short time ago when train on
the Russian railway from Tashkend
stopped at Tchernaievo a well dress
ed man got into a carriage marked
mo Smoking Allowed" and, taking
out his case, began to smoke Gig
arctic. The other passengers polite
ly called his attention to the fact
that he was not in a smoking car
riage, but he paid no heed to them
and went on smoking. 1t so hap
pened that one of the travellers was
justice of the peace, who there
upon got up, took his chain of Of
fee out of his bag and declared the
carriage court of law. The smok-
er was found guilty and fined so
rubles, and, as he would not give his
name and declared that he had no
money, he was imprisoned in the
guards van until he paid the fine.

Some Reasons Why Governors
Can't Deny Themselves the
Pleasure Hanging Women.

1t can be foretold with reasonable
certainty that the Rogers woman
will hang in Vermont sooner or later.
Governor Bell has granted a re-
prieve, and considerable influence
will doubtless be brought to bear to
secure a Communication of the sen
tence. But this is not the kind OF
influence that appeals to the average
New England governor in the aver
age New England state.
In those fine old commonwealth
the gubernatorial office is sort of
cage for the detention and exhibit
ton Of the man whom the corpora
tons elect to sign their laws. No
powers or personal independence Of
thought or action go with the job,
except as to the few matters in which
the corporate bosses have no inter
est. These captains of industry do
not concern themselves with such
purely academic questions as the
propriety OF hanging women, and
thus it happens that, once in a
great while, the governor gets a
chance to declare himself. Thus,
also, this Governor Bell, who in
the natural course would have gone
down the darkened corridors of or
livion without a tag to mark him
from the other nonentities, enjoys
for a season little measure nf nntn-
1t is the same in other states. A
number of indignant Pennsylvanians
have been snowballing the governor
with petitions against the hanging of
woman up in Reading. But the
woman will be hanged just the
same. What Governor Pennypacker
fatuously regards as his personal
dignity demands it. Pennypacker is
haunted by the ghost of dead kins.
man who in life was senator and
boss of the state and put the gov
ernor where he now is. The boss
said do, and Pennypacker did, with
never a thought whether it was
moral or immoral, just or unjust.
Yet it is fair 70 assume that the man
has some rudimentary sense of
ethics, for here it is, asserting itself
when the opportunity comes to choke
a woman to death. This strange
form of perverted political con-
science is like truth-though crushed
to earth, it rises again.
1t is matter Of taste, perhaps,
but we have always held that hang
ing is mighty poor use to make of a
human being. Even man cuts but
a sorry figure on the gallows tree.
There are those who justify the
practice on the plea that it tends to
lessen the crime of murder, but that
theory is a relic Of bdrbarisin to
which modern practice gives the lie.
We have the Mcclure figures to
show that for all the hanging and
electrocution and judicial murder
generally, homicide and murder are
among our thriving industries.
But when it comes to killing
women, whether by the sheriff's rope
or in the warden's chair, thore are
prejudices which all right-minded
men will always set above even the
ingrowing conscience of a govern OF.
1t would be pleasure to set down
that this state had never been the
scene OF such killing, but the un-
pleasant taking off of the woman
Martha Place stares us in the face.
We have not been able to live down
that affair, and it may be doubtful if
we ever shall.--Morning Telegraph,

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
Origin Of the Toy 5all-Was Invented
by a Woman For Girls.

Handball is the oldest game
known. Millions of boys and girls
play it the world over, yet never
give grateful thought to its in
yentor. Most of them will be sur
prised to learn that so simple a
thing needed ''inventing" at all
Hcrodotus and Homer, two famous
Greek writer's, have preserved the in
yentor's name, and it is feminine
one. Yes, a woman made the first
toy ball, and her name was Anagalla.
She was a noble lady of Corcyra,
and she gave it when finished to the
little daughter of the king of Alci-
nous.
No other toy has furnished SO
much amusement, nor is there an
other so necessary in many games
as is this simple article. 1t lie
strange, too, that so few of these
games are for girls. Do not forget
that the ball was invented by wo-
man for girls, although boys may be
grateful for all the fun they have
with it.

A Snow Suggestion.

The next time the snow drifts into
your yard instead of making snow
man try making a snow pig. An
oblong mass of snow forms the
body, and the legs, nose and ears are
made of sticks surrounded by snow
A bit of rope nicely curled will make
very good tail. Various pigs can
be shaped and carved, according to
the skill of the young artist, and
will give lively and social appear
ance to your yard and cause the
neighbors a great deal of amusement
at your expense perhaps.

A Dreadful ouarrs


The three were next door neighbors--
Bobby and Bessie and Kate
And a tale that is truly shocking
OF them I'll now relate.
Bessie and Kate were sisters,
And each was a darling pet"
Kate dainty blond was,
And Bessie a gay brunette.
Bobby lived at the house next door;
A frolicsome little fellow,
With roguish eyes Of golden brown
And curls so soft and yellow.
He went to the home OF the two one day
Before they had finished their dinner
And greedily drank their bowl of milk
The naughty little sinner!
The sisters were very angry then
And fought him shamefully,
Till liltle Bob, in fright and dread,
Ran hastily away.
But next day he returned again
And chased them apitefully
And frightened them until they climbed
To the top of the maple tree.
Now, Bessie and Kate, you see, were cats
Belonging to Winifred Bogg,
And Bobby. Of course you understand,
Was the next door neighbours dog.
