A RESCUE ON VESUNUS.

~~~~~~@~~~~~~~N~~~A~%
Prof. r. V. Matteuci, director Of the
Royal Observatory on Mount Vesu-
vius, in his recent most interesting ac-
count Of the life and duties of his per-
tlous post, narrates one little incident
which occurred but a short time ago,
at the beginning Of the great volcanoes
present period Of activity.
Many tourists assembled the noun
tain in the late afternoon or evening,
to behold at night the malign splendor
Of the red-hot, crawling lava streams.
Following one such party, in the hope
of begging pennies, came a little or
phan boy from Russia, at the foot Of
the mountain. His name was Clio
vanni Olivieti. The tourists fingered
long, and Giovanni, tired and sleepy,
threw himself down in a vineyard for
q nap, and was not missed At dawn
piteous cries for help were heard by
some young men who had remained
all night on the mountain, and they
fastened to discover whence they
came.
awakened by the increasing heat"
says Prof. Matteuci, 1.-THE boy had
found that he was entirely surrounded
by streams Of molten metal, which,
however, were fast cooling in many
places, and had already grown a con-
siderable crust here and there.
"Soon a crowd gathered and stood
entirely helpless some distance off, the
women screaming, weeping and pray
ing for the doomed boy"
Some one, however, had presence
Of mind enough to send for Signor
Matteuci, who in turn sent for Pas
quaie Paciflco, an experienced Vesu-
Wan guide, and the two men, at the
imminent peril of a dreadful death,
sought out possible path Of rescue.

treacherOus ice-crust-but how differ,

wet cloths protecting our faces, and
with burning boots, scorched hands
and smoking clothes we made our way

him away to safety. We did not dare,
however, to carry him in our arms, but
distributed the weight by making him

that in one place, what with flowing
and cooling, and flowing and cooling
again, it piled itself up to a height of
one hundred and fifty feet"
Prof. Matteuci lives on Vesuvius, at
the observatory, and he expects to die
there; but he asks no better fate
II love my mountain" he declares.
II could not leave her. / am welded
to her forever. My friends say that
her breath will scorch and wither my
poor life one of these days; that she
will bury my house in streams of
liquid metal or raze it to it's founda-

injured me sorely. Yet l forgive her,
wait upon her, | am hers always"

MarshfeId Is Agitated by Repeated
Thefts at Entertainments.
Marshfeld society people are consid-
erably agitated over repeated thefts at
teas, luncheons and dancing parties held
within the last six weeks. With but one
exception, the thefts have been made at
luncheOns or teas where no men were
in attendance, and for this reason sus-
picion points to woman. Articles miss.

silver knives and forks, fancy center
pieces, shawls, etc., and Notwithstanding
close scrutiny the light-fngered one has
so cleverly worked her cards in society
circles that no one feels inclined to make
public any suspicious entertained as to
her identity. The exposure of the guilty
one may fathom the larger thefts recent
ly in different Marshfield houses, when
jewelry, savings banks, ETC., have been
stolen, the whole aggregating several

Beggurs OutVgitted.

Many years ago an ingenious plan
was adopted by the grand duke to rid
Florence of beggars. 1t was proclaim
ed that every begGar who would ap-
pear in the grand plaza at a certain
mentioned time would be provided
with new suit of clothes by the duke
free of cost. At the appointed time the
bcggars Of the city all assembled, and
the grand duke, causing all the avenues
to the square to be closed compelled
the beggars to strip of their old
clothes and gave each one, according
to promise, new suit In the old
clothes thus collected enough money
was found concealed to build beauti-
full bridge over the Arno, still called the
"Beggars' bridge" and the city for the
time being was relieved Of the beggars
by which it had been previously over
run, as none would give to the well
dressed individuals who implored char
ity, not believing their tales Of distress.
