VENICE HAS NO CEMETERY.
City Buries Its Dead on the Little
Island of San Michele.

The Queen of the Adriatic, as We
netians love to term the famous old
city, is privileged in many respects
and in one particular at least she is
unique among the cities of the world.
She has no cemetery. The only bury
ing ground is the little island of
San Michele, lying solitary among the
1agoons at some distance from the
city.
This is one Of the boons which
Venice owes to Bonaparte, who recog.
nfzed the danger to population from
burial grounds in such a situation
and had all intramural graveyards
closed and ordered the dead to be
taken for burial to this island resting
place. The place is deserted all the
year except on All Souls day, and
then there is a tremendous outflow
OF about 100000 persons.
AS such multitudes could never be
landed from boats a boat bridge has
to be built specially for the occasion,
with strict regulations as to control
of the living stream in it's outward
and backward flow.

In his Impressions of America, =
Audwig Fulda says this about the
Americanisms of the lecture room:
The speaker never ascends the ros-
frum alone. He is always accom-
panied by guard of honor. He is not
allowed to mount the tribune at once,
but Is compelled to sit in big chair,
u sort of coronation throne. While he
sits there, like a silent imperator,
some well known person, member
eOf the committee, president of the so.
efety or head of a university, steps
FORWARD and tells all he knows about
the guest Of the evening by way of in.
frOduction. He tells the life story
and enumerates the books which may
have been written by the poor en-
throned man, who tries in vain to as
sumo learned expression. The
speaker ends by pronouncing the
name Of the guest in a loud voice
That is the cue for the guest to rise
and ascend to the reading desk. In
the meantime the man who made the
introduction sits down in the vacant
chair and remains there until the lee
ture is over. I must confess that it is
not comfortable feeling to know that
while one is speaking the man in the
chair, despite all the words of praise
which he may have uttered, may be
yaWning or sleeping."

Chinese Sea Robbers Captured Three
Launches Off Busy Post.

This tale from Hongkong shows the
ingenuity and courage of modern Chi
nese pirates: "Ten men who ap-
peared to be harmless laborers,
boarded the British steam launch
Nenam just below Wuchow. They
had been on board only little time
when they suddenly produced revol-
vers, searched and bound the passen-
gers and crew, and took charge of
the vessel. Their captain took the
rudder and deliberately collided,
while going at high speed, with
larger Chinese launch, the Chanfook
The robbers were flung to the deck
J by the force of the collision, but in
stantly sprang up and. leaped on
board the Chanfook.
again the crew and passengers
were carefully searched, robbed and
bound. This done, they were thrown
headlong on the captives lying on the
bottom of the Fienam. The pirate
leader then returned on board the
latter, and quickly wrecked the ma
chinery. The Fienam, helpless and
| with her helpless cargo, was cut
| adrift. Steaming up in the dark on
the Chanfook, with no lights showing,
the pirates attacked commission
) er's armed launch, on board of which.
a guard Of eight soldiers were watch
ing over valuable cargo, but this
time they were beaten off.
In no wise discouraged, the pi-
rates steered off, and next attacked
and overpowered the launch Saiyik
When the dawn came the pirates ran
the Chanfook on the beach and made
off unharmed. Their nights work
had brought them nearly $4,000"

Show Of Freak Birds.

The London and Provincial Ornitho-
logical society is celebrating the at
fainment of it's majority by holding
q cage bird show at the Camberwell
Baths, where one can see to-day a
good many freak birds. -
There is, for instance, a hybrid of a
canary and bullfnch, the only one of
his class. Other rare crosses include
the offspring of red poll and gold
finch, of siskin and goldfinch, of green
finch and goldfnch and greenfnch and
1innet. Then there are the albinos,
marked out for a lack of coloring in
plumage, which places them at a dis.
advantage in the struggle for exist
ence.
A white jackdaw, white robin and
q white blackbird there are, thankful,
perhaps, to be protected in cages; a
whitish chiff-chaff has excited some
doubts about his lineage.

Good Showinu,

A very material Improvement in the
states finances is shown by the report
of State Treasurer J. H. Block on the
condition Of the treasury at the close
of business, the 31st. The report shows
A cash balance of $536,499.15, while
the revenue fund shows an overdraft
of s171,295.3O.
While there is an overdraft in the
revenue fund, it is much smaller than
that Of year ago, being $171,295.30,
as compared with $419,0S3.77 last year.
Another item which shows the relative
condition Of the finances of the state
Is the amount of auditors warrants
outstanding. On Jan. ], 1906, these
warrants amounted to $1,715,6S3.08,
which, added to the overdraft of $419,-
OS3.77 in the revenue fund on that date
makes a total deficit of $2,134,766.S5.
There has been during the year re-
duction of nearly two thirds in the
amount of auditors warrants outstand-
ing, the amount in the banks yester-
day being $597,5 This amount,
added to the revenue fund overdraft as
it stood yesterday, makes the deficit
S76S,79S.15, a reduction Of $1,365 ,968.70
in the deficit during the year. AS
these warrants are held by the banks
and draw interest at the rate of or
AZ per cent, the saving in the inter-
est charge on this item is a very re-
spectacle sum.
