HAVE TITLES BUT NO MONEY
Arlstocracy Of Italy, in General, ls
MiScrablv Poor


There is an old Venetian adage
which says "Conte che non conta non
conta nient" ia count who doesn't
count money! doesn't count for any,
thingO. And this cynical proposition
1t is said represents fairly well the
sentiment Of the modern italian. In
that country the general feeling to-
ward the titled aristocracy is of utter
Indifference. The lesser sort of titles
are regarded as almost valueless, even
by their possessors. Il have known"
says writer, "a case of a noble lord
who followed the interesting occupation
or street scavanger. In a cafe in a
certain Italian town l was habitually
served by a waiter with the title of
count and a name famous in Venetian
history. And l am personally ac-
quainted with lord of ancient lineage
whose title descended from a father
engaged in the vocation of railway por-
ter. In general. the aristocracy of
Italy is miserably poor"

Russian Peasant Character.

The Russian peasant is not trained
to work. He feels no zeal in 1t. He
will not labor for more than is neces-
sary to provide for the next few days.
For the land is not really his own.
and, therefore. he cannot love 1t as a
husbandman should. His whole char
acter has been enervated by enslave
ment and bad government, which rem.
dered him less than ever capable of
struggling with bad times.-London

ZION CITY AGAIN.

\ new prophet has arisen in Zion City to lead the hosts of Dowieites out of the mesh of gloom into which they have become entangled by reason of the quarrels of their former spiritual leaders. The new Elijah >.is' from Topeka The wonder is not that d Kansas man has taken cards in the Zion game, but that Kansas has not been mixed up in it before. However, Charles F. Parham, with whose eccen fric religious career Kansas Cityans are more or less familiar, according to the Kansas City Journal has gone to Zion City to oust General Ovorsoer Noliya. Parham came from Topeka and 1t seems that he had a couple of convenient visions in which he asserts tEat God appeared 10 him and told him that Noliva is a false prophet who is trying to commercialize the Zion. jets.
 Palham lost no time jH embarlline on the appointed mission and. notwith- standing the frantic efforts of Voliva. has now secured to himself 300 follow CTS, in Zion City and is gaining more every day. He has brought into his work of proselyting ripe experience. for he has reputation in Kansas City for promoting a new relieioas cult and gold-maRing scheme. both of which

Each week one feather is plucked. so that only one remains at Holy Saturday. Then, as soon as the cannon of Fort St. Elmo and the church bells announce the noon hour and the resurrection of Christ, firecrackers which have been tied in long strings to the orange at the dolls feet are lighted, and the Quaresima figure expodes amid the cries of the crowd. wherein pious for

TYROLESE CUSTOMS.
pcculfar Manner In Which Propcn2Et
 of Marriage Are Made.

There is an old custom prevailing among the Tyrolese regarding propos- a,s of marriage. The first time young man pays visit as avoWed lover he brings with him bottle or wine, or which he pours out glass ana pre- sents it to the object of his desires.
 If she accepts 1t the whole affair IS settled. Very often the girl has not yet made LID her mind, and then she will i take refuge ifr excuses so as not to drink the wine and yet not refuse 1t point blank, for that Is considered gross iasult. proving that she has been merely trifling with the affections of her lover.
 She will. for instance, maintain that the wine Hooks sour'' or that wine dis agrees with her or that she Is afraid of getting tipsy or that the priest has for bidden her to take any-in fact, she makes use of any subterfuge that pre- sents itself at that moment.
 The purport of these excuses is that she has not come to decision and that the wine offering Is premature.
 This strange custom. dating very far back-according to one account, it was known as early as the ninth century Is called bringing the wine" and Is synonymous with the act of proposing
 Shy lovers, loath to make sure of their case beforehand, find it very happy institution. Not word need be spoken, and the girl is spared the pain F,,i .sNOo of c{viltZatiOn

THE SOUTHERN RAzORBACK.

The much derided faIor Dack h"S has come into his own. For several years passed now he has been the oo. iect of ridieule and the subject oi most ,nfavorabIe= comment even by those who didn't know whether he was small sized calf or d hog. Now, now. over he blossoms forth into the full calcium light with the assurance from those who are in d position to khoW that he is the choice of the connols- seurs and that his meat is unque tlon- aby the best.
 A Chicago packer is the authority for the statement that the prize fed hog that figures so prominently in the county fair exhibits is not in it with the razor back when it comes to tue nueston of good meat and that the day is not far distant when everybody will have to admit that the razor back after many buffets and kicks has come into his own.
 "Iean and hungry. as any CasSl'ls, inc southern raZor back learns carly to shift fer himsef and pick up the best morsels from the world of food. The razor back can not lay claim to long and lordlN pedigree and does not get his namc i'll the registry books or his picture in the farm journals. No sIall-fed life of ease for him; no days of ease and sleep in the protected pen. rising and waking only to take his meals as the feeder urges him to take another slice The razor back. in order to "save his bacon,' must have d keen ear and a swift foot. Some of them develop speed like a race horse and are as hard to catch as the elus- i've flea. '
 But, though his back may be so sharp it will cut through fence rail, and his sides as lean as a Kansas farmer in drouth time, the razor back has his reward He fcasts on the sweet and succulent acorns that fall from the shady oaks and drinks the pure water of limpid country streams He is free as the air, and though he sometimes goes hungry, it gives him good digestion and a keen appetite that the eorn-fed, pen-hampcred western hog never knows. It pleasure to know that the world is coming to ap. preciatee the merits of this creature. who from very pishood leads the strenuous life.

compERs AND ROOSEVELT.

If is now claimed that the prohlpi-
 ton question, and mot Roosevelt and
 Littlefield, was the.rea1 issue in Maine, If is said that the antiprohib!tionlsts
 supported the Democrats independent ly of Gompers influence, and that Gompers did the Republicans more good than harm. If the first proposi- lion is true. then Cannon must have been making prohibition speeches in Maine. Beyeridge, Lodge, Taft and Hamilton must have gone there tohelp the prohbitionists. Such conclusion would be absurd. Cannon is not even a tempcrancc man. He and Taft, and inc rest. went to Maine to save RoOse
 yclt's prestige. They put Roosevelt $ name against that of Gompers. Ii Was a battle for Roosevelt against the American Federation of Labor, and was directed bv Roosevelt himself. Roosevelt won by scratch, but an- other such victory would ruin him His prestige is gone. There may be shouting for him here and there, as there is for other politicians of na
 tonal importance, but his name is ne longer q tower of strength. Senator Foraker dsccrns the real situation; and in his speech at the Ohio state convention, he defied and ridculed Roosevelt Thanks 10 Mr. Gompers.
