Italian REGARD For Animals.

On the occasion l was q passenger
ON one Of the lake steamers which ply
between DeSenZano and Riva. 1t was
a day of wild wind and driving storm.
At Salo a peasant of a peculiarly tru-
culent type came on board. clad in the
shaggy cloak Of the district and bear
ing a vast blue umbrella no less indig-
enous. With him, too. he brought his
donkey. Now, even Italian steamers
do not knowingly admit quadrupeds Of
this size to the shelter Of the fore
cabin, though possibly If they did no
great harm would be done or senti-
ment violated. The beast, therefore,
was tethered on the open deck and
thus became exposed to the fury of
wind and weather, not to mention the
wave. A British peasant would prob
ably have accepted the situation and
let him bide. Not so the Lombard.
Hastily divesting himself Of his ample
overcoat. he spread it carefully over
the lower animals back and, unfurl-
ing his voluminous umbrella, held that
patiently over the asinine head-and
his own-all the way to Riva. Now,
here. surely, was good man, merci-
full to his beast-London Times.

The Paris Walters Trick.

81 was in a Paris cafe" said the
American tourist, when there was q
sudden quarrel not far away, and I
suspended my eating, as did every
body else, to see what the trouble was.
1t appeared that one of my country
men, whom | had not noticed in enter
ing, had dined at table not far away,
and when he received his check he
handed the waiter ten dollar gold
piece. The waiter put the coin into
his mouth and made change for IS
only. The Yankee kicked and SwOre
there was a swindle. but the waiter
took the S. from his mouth and held
1t up and said:
"'See! 1t is here 1t is the coin he
gave me- Is it not for him to apollo
giZe?
"It looked that way to me. but my
countryman knew thing or two. He
grabbed the rascal by the throat and
choked his mouth open. and, 10, a ten
dollar gold piece dropped to the floor.
The fellow had the S. in his mouth to
work the trick, and when l got to
thinking the thing over l remembered
that it had been successfully worked
on me a dozen times over"-ChicagO

Children to Let.

Quite a fourishing trade is done by
the poorer classes Of Madrid, who let
out their children to beggars at so
much per hour. The intending hirer
applies to the parents of a likely child,
the price is agreed upon. a small
amount paid down as guarantee for
the return Of the little one, and the
beggar forthwith sets out with his hu-
man implement Of trade to implore the
public charity. The children whose
task it is to soften the hearts Of the
passersby are required to possess
special qualifications. They must have
hungry looking faces, be first rate
criers and not very ugly, for a good
looking child is more likely to earn
extra pennies on account of its pretty
face than a less favored competitor

Limit of Human Strenuth.

Experiments upon a number Of men
have shown that man feet high
and weighing 1876 pounds will lift, on
an average, 1856 pounds through a YER
tical distance Of 8 inches or 217
pounds through height of IL inches.
Others 81 feet high and weighing 1873
pounds could lift the 1856 pounds to a
height of 13 inches or 217 pounds to a
height of inches. Other men 6 feet

could lift 1856 pounds to height of 16

"7e Never Said Turkey to Me Once.

"He Never Said Turkey to Me Once
This saying was more familiar to
the former than to the present gener-
alton. but comparatively few people
know its origin.
An Indian and a white man who
were hunting together killed a crow
and a turkey.
The white man said to the Indian.
"You may take the crow and I'll take
the turkey, or I'll take the turkey and
you may have the crow"
The Indian replied. MAY be all right,

The Origin Of tho Word Fiiibuster.
The name "buccaneer" was chiefly
affected by the English Adventures on
our coast. while the French members
of the profession often preferred the
name of "flibustier." This word, which
has since been corrupted into our ia
miliar ''filibuster," is said to have been
originally a corruption. being nothing
more than the French method Of pro-
nouncing the word "freebooters,

Bryan on immortality.

w. J. Bryan in memorial ad- dress to the Elks lodge in his home city recently saidi =;
 Mssi is boastful, and yet just as he irnagines himself almost omnipo- tent, just as he reaches out to seize the crown, death touches him or those he loves, and then he feels how helpless he is. Death turns our thoughts toward immortality. Heaven never seems so real to us as when it becomes the abode of some one we have known and loved. And when these treasures from our hearts are there, we can easily believe that no heart warmed into a glow by the fire of brotherly love will ever suffer an eternal chill, that glows brighter with the years, will ever be extinguished never to shine again.

Auguste and Louis Lumiere of Paris have just announced the per- lection of a prooess by which this result can be attained with great CT degree of simplicity than had previously been thought possible They have also carried step fur ther the puzzling problem of repro ducing the pictures on white paper in the tints indicated on the colored negative.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-07-23

There is tolerably unanimous failure throughout the south to eith- CT get excited or enthusiastic over the war screams of a certain section of
 the yellow press. It is not that the south is not patriotic. If the time ever comes when there is something doing in the war line either with the Orient or any other part of the world the south will be found holding down its end of the job. That the south could fight and would fight was abundantly and sorrowfully proven during the civil war, and the united country will probably not get over paying pensions for that object les son in two generations. That the south was still able bodied and will ing was also shown in the Spanish war though that did not amount to much. But as to the talk of war with Japan, the south fails to be interest ed. There is nothing in the situation to warrant war talk. The situation, such as it is. is not one that wars are made out of. Further the south has a valuable and growing trade with the Orient that it does not want to see disturbed for the benefit of few who make living out of half page scare headlines. Southern cotton mills and unbleached piece goods for the benighted heather are topics enough for the south just now. When there is real oc- casion for war talk it will begin to take an interest.
