SCENES IN NAPLES.
Some of tho Incidents of the Street L:fs
of the Neapolitans.

The commonest people Of Naples
seldom buy anything from the
stores or shops, but patronize ped
dlers and street hawkers almost ex-
clusively. At the portable kitchen
booths bill of fare is offered to the
hungry wayfarer that is laughingly
reasonable in price and varied in
kind. Besides the ever present
macaroni, the principal articles of
food are the frutti di mare, sea
fruits" including mussels, polvpi
and sea spiders, all regarded as most
tempting delicacies by the ever hum
CRY lazzaroni.
Then there are roasted fishes Of
all kinds, maize dumplings, so called
spighe, and finally the national meat
food, called braccinole, which is
really a dumpling or cake made of
lamb meat and lard. Snail soup is
another delicacy, as well as cheese
with bacon Qa pizza). Like all
southerners, the Neapolitans show a
marked fondness for sweets of all
kinds, and they would be quite lost
without their portion Of struffoli, a
rather tough cake made principally
OF honey. Then nothing appeals to
the lazzaroni appetite so insidiously
as the famous Easter cake Of Cas-
satello, which is sprinkled most
temptingly with fluid pork fat and
in which whole eggs are baked, shell
and all, a questionable dainty to un-
educated palates.
The lazzaroni women are seldom
beautiful and generally not even
pretty. They are usually poorly
built, with swarthy complexions
and irregular features. Now and
then one finds a lustrous pair Of
eyes Of great beauty, but rarely.
The Neapolitan women are not to
be compared with the women Of the
country as seen in Rome and in the
Campagna, whose trim figures,
graceful movements and frequently
charmingly fascinating faces SO
often greet the eye Of the traveller.
Their fullness of form, proud bear
ing and fine profiles are all conspic-
uously absent in the wives Of the
lazzaroni. And how could it we'll be
otherwise2 Are they not "beasts OF
burden" for sbeasts Of burden -
Are the facchini, by reason of their
occupation, much moro than this p
Home and Country.

DEFICIENT FACULTIES.
DO What You Can to Develop and
Strengthen Them.

Few people are well balanced, well
rounded. A great many have splen-
did ability in certain lines, good ed
ucation, fine training and yet have
some deficiency in their makeup
winch cripples the whole life and
tlWuis the results of their utmost
industry. Many of US. have some
little, coatemptible weakness which
Offsets or strong qualities and ruins
their effectiveness.
What pity to see a giant in pos
siblitY tied down by some little,
contemplate weakness which Grip
pies WhGt might have been a mag
liticent c4neer! II parent or teach-a
er would only point out to ohild>a.
weakness which perhaps will be IA
tai il not remedied and teach it
how TO guard against it, how to
strengthen the defective quality by
mental exercise, what a tremendous
help it would give to the child, per
haps preserving it from failure!
1t is pitiable to see a young man
bowing TO what he calls fate, which
he thinks has been fixed BY the con-
tour OF his brain OF in his hereditary
tendencies. Why should we drag
our weaknesses through life when
little common sense, a little right
thinking in fixing new habits Of
thought, viii soon remedy them?
III YOU are conscious Of mental
weakness, a deficient faculty, using
a little concentration, thinking in
the opposite direction and dwelling
upon the perfect faculties you de-
sire would soon put you in a nor
nal condition. 1t is normal think
ing that makes the normal life.
But if you leave your weak fac
ulties alonc-do not exercise them,
do not try to enlarge them, do not
think it worth while how can you
expect them ever to become strong?
You cannot develop a symmetrical
body by simply exercising the arms.
The same is true Of the mental fac
ultics. Those which are not used
deteriorate. 1fyou long for a thing
and strive for it with all your might
persistently enough and long enough
iYou cannot help approximating it.
You must get what you wish in some
degree. Success.

What He Was Worth.

This story is told about Robert
Burns: Burns was standing on a
long pier on the water front of Ed
inburgh. A well known and wealthy
merchant, walking by, stumbled and
fell into the water. He could not
swim and so sank. When he arose
for the third time nobody dared to
save him, but an old weather beaten
sailor, at the risk of his own life,
ran up the pier and, jumping in,
rescued the man.
The gentleman had been worked
over quite while before he became
conscious, and when he realized the
situation he rewarded his rescuer
with what in our money would
amount to rs cents. At this the
crowd which had gathered, knowing
his wealth, hooted and jeered. But
Burns, who was standing by, quiet
ed them and said.
Surely the gentleman knows
what his life is WORTH

Testing a Horses Wind.

While talking about horses the
other day an old farmer said: "Well,
I'm a pretty good judge of horses
and can always tell whether horse
is short winded or not. Before I
buy a horse he continued, 81 just
borrow it for about an hour or so,
and then | get out on some lonely
road and see what kind of stuff he is
made Of. | first let him choose his
own gait for couple of mile posts
and finally give him plenty of rein,
making him 90 for all he is worth.
All the time | just keep my eye on
his launches, and if l see any ro-
tary motion there it's a sign he's
thick winded, and of course every
one knows that kind amt much
good"

Better Taste.

The oriental monarch amused
himself by giving hungry guest a
phantom banquet. Squire Hamil-
ton, says the Boston Herald, one of
the best known members of the
Maine legal profession many years
ago, once sat at a meagerly laden
board, and in this case the starving
guest was the humorist. The din
ing room had been newly and splen-
dldly furnished, whereas the dinner
was very slender. While some of
the guests were Gathering the host

The South Dakota hardware
men while in session at Mitchell
last week passed a resolution con-
demning the parcels post project.
The enactment Of such a measure
by congress would be a hard blow
for the express companies and
they are very cleverly getting the
retail merchants to do their fight
ing for them. The HERALD be-
lievesthat parcels post would
benefit the country merchants
more than the catalogue houses.
There were merchants who feared
that rural mail delivery would
give the country to the catalogue
houses and send us all to the bow
vows. They have found it does
not so work. The enlerprising
country merchant is now wonder
ing how he ever got along with
out these rural routes radiating
into his territory. The Hurley
merchants are selling more goods
today through the rural routes
than all the catalogue houses put
together. We believe that it will
be the same with the parcels post.
The express companies are
powerful but they do not yet own
the country.

SURVIVAL OF TIE FlTTEsT.
How DR.. Wallace Came TO Formulate
His Theory.


Dr Alfred Russell Wallace in his
autobiography tells how during his
long sojourn in Borneo and the Ma
lay peninsula he formulated inde-
pendently of Darwin his theory of
evolution: Il was suffering from a
sharp attack of intermittent fever
and every day during the cold and
hot fits had to lie down for severaE
hours, during which time ! had
nothing to do but to think over any
subjects then particularly interest
ing me. One day something brought
to my recollection Malthus' 'Princi-
pies OF Population which I had
read about twelve years before. I
thought Of his clear exposition of
the positive checks to increase
disease, accidents, war and famine
which keep down the population of
savage races to so much lower an
tyerage tan that of more civilized
peoples.
ut then occurred to me that
these causes or their equivalents are
continually acting in the case of ami
mails also, and, as animals usually
breed much more rapidly than does
mankind, the destruction every yean
from these causes must be enor-
nous, as otherwise the world would
long ago have been densely crowded
with those that breed most quickly.
Vaguely thinking over the enormous
and constant destruction which this
implied, it occurred to me to ask
the question, Why do some die and
some live?
"And the answer was clearly that
on the whole the best fitted live.
Then it suddenly flashed upon me
that the self acting process would
necessarily improve the race, be-
cause in every generation the in
ferior would inevitably be killed off
and the superior would remain
that is, the fttest would survive" N
