Italian Dukes Experi-
 ment a Failure.
SEEKS TO REDEEM LANDS
Peasants Did Not Take to Utopian
 Ideas.
Nfae sons and Eleven Daughters of . Tuscany Duke Visit Annual
 Eete at Caperrane.

Rome, June 9-An experiment in So- otalism. undertaken by Duke Pompeo Litta in Lombardy, has proved that the Italian peasant Is not ripe for utopian schemes for his betterment.
 After eight years of Socialism, the Duke is applying to the courts to re- gain possession of his land. which he had let in small lots at nominal rent to 137 peasant families.
 When the Duke inaugurated his land reform he had come from Ger many where he had imbibed socialistic ideas from Bebee and the other Ger man Socialists. Their teachings he put in practice on his return to the ap- Jient estate of his ancestors, where the peasants still lived in sort of feudal state,
 He dispossessed the large tenants of their holdings, and divided them up to as7 families of the peasants, for euI- tivation. At first the scheme was sue cessful. and the peasants prospered but recently they became indolent and abandoning their crops, began to cut down the woods, which the Duke had stipulated should be left untouched.
 The peasants were also tampered with by soeialistic delegates, who nrg- cd them to claim ownership and refuse to work. This brought about the final failure of Duke Pompeo's dream of so cialism. He is still hopeful. how ever, that he will be able to introduce . genuine and permanent reform in the future.

Learning the Arts of Peace.

SdH FTdHCISCO CNTOnICIt.
 There Is no better preparation for good citizenship than regular employ ment in honest labor, even if one does not acquire the habit of walking with head always erect and learn the art of the scientific destruction of human life. Until human nature develops a uniformity of good intentions such as mankind has never yet possessed 1t will always be necessary for the well disposed to maintain an organized force strong enough to prevent vio- lence by the ill-disposed, and If they faIl to do so the penalty will be terrible. But the nation which is content with its own boundaries and has no intent to prey on its neighbors may safely confne its military expenditure to a minimum. for it will not be molested.

sponsible in no small part for the im- pairment of credit. which has made the raising Of new capital for extensions so dinicult and costly. The turn up- ward in the tide of the net return to the railroads Is therefore of great in huence in increasing confidence in value of securities. Better operating conditions on the railroads due to the weather Is partly responsible for the amendment of the extravagant cost Of operation which was eating up profits. Congestion of traffic has been relieved to some extent with help to the rate Of cost of transportation. New freight classifications going into effect also in- crease the rates to the railroads in va rious directions. The growth of confi- dence in values has not yet prompted large absorption of securities outside the professional class of operators and their activity are largely confined to few highly speculative securities. The bond market has failed to reflect any awakening of investment demand up to this time.

 The continued outward movement Of gold helps to keep opinion unsettled over this phase of the situation. Money rates on call and for early maturities are easy indeed, but the high rates still paid by corporations for capital and the large requirements known still to exist make the flow Of gold reserves from this market seem something of an anomaly.

Big Debt Claim.

The biggest claim for debt ever made is that which is to be brought against the British government by the Marquis Vincenza PeruZZi, who claims the staggering amount of $250,000. 900 due to him as the representative of the Peruzzi family, Italian financiers of the Middle Ages.
 The Marquis is going to London to be married to an English girl, Miss Betty Cox, and at the same time to make researches to substantiate his gigantic claim. The total has been reached by accommodating interest on $12.000.000 for 559 years
 In the fourteenth century the Peruz zis were the Rothschilds of Europe. and financed kings and princes for their wars The English Kings, Edward l., IT., and III borrowed largely from their bank to provide for their con- stant wars with France and Scotland. in 1889 the financial condition of Eng land was so bad that Edward III is- sued a royal proclamation suspending the repayment of all State loans. This ruined the Peruzzi Bank. the head of the firm dying in London broken heart ed after an intellectual attempt to se- cure a settlement
 Since then the PeruZzi family have at intervals reminded the British gov ernment of this ancient debt, and this circumstances, the present claimant be- lieves, may interfere with his claim be- ing disallowed under the statute of limitations. He himself has written to King Edward VII. on the subject.

Many Young Nobies.

Twenty princes and princesses. the offspring of one father, were on view at the annual fete at Caperrane, Tus- eany, a popular religious event
 The record princely family was that of Don Robert de Bourbon, ex-Duke of Parma and Piaeenza, who brought to the fete his nine sons and eleven daughters. They all took their places on n decorated platform, erected es- peciaily to show the people the most numerous noble family in Italy.
 The Duke was accompanied by his second wife. the Infanta Maria Anto- nia of Portugal, the mother of eleven of his children. The remaining nine are the fruit of his first marriage with the Sicilia Princess Maria Pia.
 The eldest of the prineely brood is Princess Luisa, who is 35, and the list closes with her baby half-brother. Prince Gaetano, born in 1905. Only one of the family is married, Prince Ella having welded an Austrian Arch duchess in 1903. and now has three children. The patriarch of this re- markable family is only 5s years old.

A FLY SEE-SAW.

Here is an amusing little trick that
you will find lots of fun:
Stick a long lead pencil in the end
Of spool of thread so that 1t will
stand upright. Now get piece Of
very stiff blotting paper and from 1t
cut strip two inches wide and about
foot long. In each end of this put
drop of molasses or syrup.
Now balance the strip of blotting
paper, with the syrup side up. on
the point Of the pencil. You should
have two players, although one will
do. Each player chooses an end Of
the paper. In moment fly will
alight on one end, attracted by the
syrup, and that end Of the paper will
go down trife. Then another fly
will light on the other end, or per-
haps several will come there for the
sweets, and things will be reversed.
AS more flies come, alighting on
the ends, the paper will lean first
this way, then that, till 1t overbal-
ances and falls to the table. Then
the player whose end grew so heavy
as to cause the tumble wins.-Good

FAST FRIENDS.

A dog and pigeon are the wonder
of the village Of Pennsgrove, N, j.
The pigeon was left an egg orphan
by the shooting of its real mother,
but Mrs. M found for 1t a haven
Of refuge under bantam hen, which
had the setting fidgets about that
time. In due time the pigeon came
forth, but 1t took lot Of care and
attention to bring 1t up, for the BAN
tam positively refused to have any
thing further to do with her foster
child when she discovered 1t could fly.
The little pigeon cast about for a
friend, and the family dog-just an
ordinary dog-looked kindly upon II.
One day the bantam hen savagely at
tackled the pigeon. but the dog put
himself between them and saved the
infant from a pecking. The pigeon
knew from the moment that 1t had a
friend, and from that day 1t never has
had cause to change Its opinion. Bird
and beast have been almost insep-
arabic.
When the dog creeps into the
kitchen to lie by the stove, the pigeon
finds its way to accompany him, and,
with one eye comically open, 1t
roosts upon the dogs back like a
winged sentinel. They eat out of the
same trays, and drink out of the
same founts. They take trips to-
gether into the woods, and while the
pigeon can move much faster, 1t
never leaves Its shaggy companion.

BREAKING A SETTING HEN.

Because e hen wants to set and you
don't want her to is no reason that
you should abuse her by grabbing her
by the head and throwing her forclbly
from the nest or by ducking. her in a
barrel Of cold water. 1t is Just as
easy to break her desire to incubate
by gentle treatment. One of the best
ways is to take clean, dry coop with
bottom made of slab boards, having
a tight roof to protect her from the
rain. Feed her oats and raw potato
cut into small bits and give her plenty
of water, taking away all fattening
food. A hen that is fat has more
animal heat in her body and will be
more inclined to become broody.
Another plan is to confine her in
a reasonably small coop in company
with a vigorous cockerel for from
four to five days. After few days
she can be let out early in the morn
ing about the time the other fowls
are coming OF the roost. AS soon as
she forsakes the habit OF going on the
roost at night she will get ready to
lay again. Above all things do not
half kill hen in order to cure her.

THE RLIIERIRnS


Twas, tiny place where the bluebirds
A rift in the heart of a sturdy tree;
But one was as snug as she could be,
And one on neighboring branch a-tilt
Sang that his heart was satisfied
However the land might beckon, wide
Caroled that well content was he!
1t was love and hope that had made the
nest,
Seeking and bringing with tireless wings
Spoils of grasses and twigs and strings
To weave for the brooding mother.breast
It was love that hovered secure and warm
And hope that twittered through shine
and storm
The secret Of five little hidden things.
They had no fear that grief would come;
They rocked with the breezes and heard
the rain
Beat on the leaves low refrain
Around the walls of their sheltered home
They had done no wrong and they feared
no wrong;
They had given the world their best-a
song,
And they looked for good from the world
egain.
But there's room and to spare where the
bluebirds built
Quiet and desolation there,
And only hush in the waiting air
Where the lit and laugh of the music
Somewhere the stolen treasures are
Hid by the hands that were raised to
And two little heart-broken birds some
where.

THE MAN IN THE PANSY.


The Little Sister came in from the
garden, her hands full of flowers, and
begged her mamma for a story-"a
brand-new one, mamma" So man.
ma caught sight of a pansy among
the flowers the Little Sister held, and
this is what she told the Little Sister:
"In the middle of every pansy there
lives little old man. He must be
a very cold little man, too, for he is
always wrapped in little yellow
blanket, and even then has to have
an extra covering Of velvet pansy
leaves to keep him warm. And he
sits in the flower with only his head
uncovered, so that he can see the
world.
But the queerest thing about this
little old man is that he always keeps
his feet In a foot-tub. Such a funny
little tub, too-so long and narrow
that you wonder how he manages to
get his feet in it. He does, though,
for, when you pull the tub off, there
you will discover his two tiny feet,
just as real as can be-"
The next time you pick pansy,
see IL you can find the man and his
little foot-tub.
