Avenped Insult to Mother.

Urged on by MS father and mother,

and killed Michael Ferrsri, also of that
place. Ferrari was one OF the best
known Italians of MamarOneck and bad
the reputation OF being q peaceable clt'-
Ecu. The De Ruzzos keep a ssloon.
Witnesses say that Ferrari started to
leave the saloon yesterday aud that
De Ruzzo followed him to the .idewslk,
where angry words we're exchanged.
The load conversation attracted the at
tention of the boys lather and mother,
and the latter is alleged to have said
"If you do not kill him and put him
out of the way, you're not one OF ouT
family. He has insulted US
The boy hesitaled, but when his father
also urged him on he drew a pistol and
fired. The first bullet struck Ferrarl
near the heart and he staggered a fe"
feet and fell to the sidewalk. AS he wa;
falling De Ruzzo exclaimed
"You have insulted our family you
must die"
Then be fired a second shot, which
struck Ferrari in the back.
De Ruzzo fed and Sheriff Merit and
his deputies are looking for him. The

Mime Marta Sandal Bramsen is head of the vocal department in a fashionable musical school in Pitts burg. Mme Bramsen does not believe in wearing stockings and has not worn them since, when a girl of IA, her singing attracted the attention of King Oscar of Sweden, who had her educated in the Conservatory of Mu- sic, at Christiania. Mime Bramsen went to Pittsburg with her husband six weeks ago. Since then she has been in demand at society functions, but no one suspected her antipathy to hosiery until she attended a recep- tion at the musical institute, when a careless movement of her gown dis closed bare foot in sandal of an cient pattern.

LEAN-To OF GoTHAMITEs.
New Workers Bound to Prop Against Something When They Stop
 in the Street to Talk.

q wonder" said the man from Min nesota, why so many New York people have the lean-to habit? It makes them look very queer. When in motion their bodies lean backward or forward or sideways like an animated inclined plane, and when they are in repose they flop still worse.
 "No matter where you stop to talk to New York man, he is bound to lean against something. In stores he leans against counters, in saloons he braces himself up against the bar, in hotels the pillars and chairs contribute to his sup port, in restaurants he leans on the ta- ble, and in the street against the walls of projecting buildings. And the wom- en are just as bad as the men. Nobody seems to have spunk enough to stand up straight.
 Perhaps the people here are tired, or it may be that they are seeking a grace full pose. At any rate, they flop on all occasions. The proprietors of some of the shops evidently deprecate the uni- versal tendency to lean against some thing, and wish to discourage it, for they have distributed signs about the stores warning customers not to lean on,the counters, but. t.aso far asIcansee, tirese rnotices-aSe onlya bluff.srAtsany rate, New Workers don't heed them; they keep on leaning just the same"

Floating Ocean Life.

A recent British scientific expedi. lion discovered that the Indian ocean floating life is exceedingly abundant at all depths down to about 7,200 feet in seas 15,000 feet deep. By floating life is meant animals which form the food of whales and deep ocean fish and which, up to the present, have been believed to live on or very close to the surface. A variety of enormous squids were fished out, as we'll as iellyfish, and prawns fully six inches long. Some of these latter were blind, while others had huge eyes, but nearly all of them had phosphor- escent organs. which would naturally be due to the fact that they live at a depth where almost total darkness prevails. The blind varieties had enormous feelers or antennae, some of them extending to twice the length of their bodies.

eral head, but they illustrate sufi- ciently the very large appropriations New York makes toward this end, as we'll as the varied interests repre- sented in this expenditure. AS a matter of fact, the recreation facili- ties afforded the people in New York are much more extensive, since pri- vate enterprise has not Jagged be- hind public leadership, and in a number of cases the public appropri- ation has supervised and expended moneys previously provided by pri. vate means. The exhibit is an inter. Hesting one in itself and also as an in. dication of very pronounced recog. milton of the value of sport and play in civic life. <.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-03-26

One of the most interesting phases of better civic life is indicated by the increased attention given by mary American communities to providins opportunities for free recreation as an essential part of the public ex- penditures and hence as an essential part of the public life. The progress made in this direction in the last few years has been remarkable. It Is a movement that has had development in a number of directions, most oi which have been without any related thought, and yet the sum tota!. as represented by public appropriations and by opportunities afforded, has reached handsome proportions and represents a vast amount of oppOr
 tunities for good of which everyone may freely avail himself at no indi
 vidual cost. Some figures represent

Both the Carmania and the Caro- mia, the latest additions to the Gu nard fleet, are equipped with sub marine signaling apparatus. It seems to be question of only short time when all passenger steamers in the transatlantic service will be protected by the latest and best equipment for receiving underwater warnings of the proximity of the shore or of other vessels, when fogs or like conditions make it impossible to see such possible perils.
