MUsIC-LOVING ITALIANS.

A man who had come down from the second cabin had crossed as an emigrant but few years before, and he was now able to visit his old home during his annual holidays. He. was native of village just beyond Rome, had risen from a day laberer to a master mason, and, like many of his countrymen, was lover of music. During the tour of the Mascagni opera company in the United States he had expended SIP in tickets for himself and family, and he related many instances of Italian laborers who patronized grand opera two and three times a week during the season, and who were, familiar with all the great compositions. Speaking of his personal experiences as an emigrant, he told me that he had learned more concerning Rome from American books than he had ever known while living in the suburbs of the capital; and upon his
 first visit to his old parents he had taken them to the catacombs and other sights about Rome that had quite amazed the venerable couple. -Harper's Magazine.

WHY WOMEN SUFFER.

Women have 50 much to go through in life that it is pity there is so much needless suffering from backache, headache, dizziness, lan- guor and other common aches and ills of kidney complaint.
 Doan's Kidney Pills have brought new life and strength to thousands of women afflicted in this way.
 Women are prone to kidney trou- ble. They have so much indoor work to do, so much lifting, bending and stooping; they are bound by custom, to tight, heavy clothing. They get little outdoor exercise, and any little cold may bring. on kidney weak ness.
 Don't worry if you feel tired and dragged out-if you have backache and bearing pains, headache, dizzy spells, faintness and lack ambi- tion. Don't think it's some trouble peculiar to the sex Men suffer in the same way when they have kidney trouble.
 Ask yourself this question: "Ara my kidneys we'll? The condition of the kidney secretions may gives you an answer. If there Is brick dust sediment, or a stringy settling in tho urine; if passages are too frequent and copious, or scanty and painful, 1t is time to begin using Doan's Kidney Pills.

THE BARBARISM OF HUNTING.

By many men and all boys it is deemed great sport in displaying skill in taking hounds and other dogs of the chase through field and wood, and bringing to earth victim after victim, and with unerring shots, is deemed a fascinating achievement.
 All huntsmen often witness the killing of innocent victims, and see the suffering and agonizing death of birds and animals that dearly love their lives, and have done their hun ters no harm. Most huntsmen of kindly nature tell you that at times a feeling of reproach has passed through them as they stood by the dying victims of their skill. t
 Hunters of elk, deer and antelope can tell you of seeing the terror stricken eyes of these animals, filled with tears, glaring at them with mute reproach as they sobbed their lives away, and deprived of all power to wreak vengeance on their human aggressors. Such memories should haunt men, who are not hardened or calloused with savagery.
 Time and again we have seen lord ly animals in their native stage, peaceful, happy and seemingly en- toying to the full the gifts of life, wounded or killed at the pulling of a trigger. If such animals are wound ed, they are relentlessly pursued, and may for hours or days suffer agony before death closes the suffering.
 Hunting is relic of barbarism in mans nature. One of the most pit eous of sights is to see life pass out of the innocent, quivering, helpless grouse, quail, dove or other birds. Otter these scenes are garnished with the cheers and laughter of their hunters, when beating out the brains of the birds that sharply cry and cling to their lives.
 The more human and civilized man becomes, the more he will despise the killing for fun. Such amusement marks the low savage instinct. Not even the president of a great nation can dignify the mock heroism of kill ing "big game" Only a hard-heartl ed man can derive pleasure in such barbarous sport. The man of genu- inc sympathy and kindly disposition can only feel disgust at the sight of killing the unoffending innocents.

PELT OF THE RARE BLACK FOX Only About Five Are Brought Down
 Each Year From the Far North.

In the estimation of trappers of the Canadian Northland, as well as in the eyes of the nobility of Russia, there is only one king of beasts the highly prized black fox. On an average five perfect pelts of this rare fur bearer are brought down from the Northland each year, and in rare years as many as ten or twelve though each year thousands of men make living trapping and the year. ly catch of fox skins amount to over 100000 from Canada alone.
 In no way except in color does the black fox differ from the. red fox whose pelt sells for, about $2, or from the gray fox, whose winter coat is valued at from $150 to S400: but whenever hunter can secure a black fox and remove it's skin with out marring the fur he Is sure of re- ceiving from $500 to s1,500 for his trophy. Not only Is every black fox pelt bought as soon as taken but dozen Russian noblemen have paid agents travelling in North America all through the winter seeking ou, remote hillside farms and abandoned logging camps where it is possible that a shy and elusive black fox may have been seen.
 Within the last twenty years a number of wealthy men who have owned fenced game preserves havu spent vast sums of money in buying young foxes alive and turning them loose within private enclosures. By and by 1t may be that some skilled or fortunate breeder will produce a black pup or perhaps pair of black foxes may be captured alive and from these a new breed of black foxes will arise and cause a great panic among the men who hunt for black foxes. He who can wrest the se- cret of breeding black foxes from nature Is assured of riches past counting and can command the wor- shipful homage of the Russian mo- .bility and aristocracy, who seem willing to sacrifice untold wealth for the pleasure of wearing overcoats made from the pelts of American black foxes.

COMMON SENSE IN CLOTHING
A Woman Doctor Exposes Some Mas.
 culine Misconceptions.

' In these days faddists of every kind abound. The man or woman with a crank Is almost more the rule than the exception. To be very keen or any one subject is generally a good thing, for 1t is only those nowadays who specialize who ever arrive to eminence; but to be obsessed with a subject, or to carry fad to excess does not certainly lead to eminence, and one who is bitten with the mi- crobe of faddism is generally regard ed as bore. So far as fads in re- gard to health are concerned. with the possible exception of Christian science, more noise Is made in the world by the individuals who pin their faith to particular diet or to an especial form of dress. The be-
 iiever in huts or in raw foods of one kind or another. or the advocate of extreme abstinence or of unceasing mastication, must declaim from the
 house tops that the thing which has happened to hit his fancy is the sole condition of health. True 1t is that, in a amouth or two, the same man will probably be praising different diet altogether, but 1t matters little what the kind may be, the only thing cer- tain is that he will do his best to let all the world hear of it. Regulating ones diet and adapting it to suit ones constitution are excellent pro cedures, and go far oftentimes to en- sure good health, but thereis limit The bad effects of a "health" diet are generally obvious, but the harm done by hygienic clothing is not so readily visible. It has been for long a matter of settled opinion that cor sets, at least these garments when worn tight, are fruitful cause of ill., ness among women, and many au. thorities, in. matters hygienic have, from time to time, advised women to give up the wearing of this pop ular form of attire, Dr Bulstrode, an English expert on all pertaining to consumption, says the chief cause why pulmonary tuberculosis has de. creased among Englishwomen is that corsets are worn more loosely than was formerly the case Dr Lillian M. Chesney, however, in a vigorous and entertaining article, which ap- peared in the July number of the Journal of the Royal, Institute of Public Health, attacks the theory of Dr Bulstrode and many other theories regarding .women's clothing, which have come to be regarded as articles of faith. This lady denies that wom- en have given up stays, and says that they are form quite as much as ever, and further declares that it is not compression around the waist that is hurtful to health, but that garments hung from the shoulders are the in- furious ones. The reason given is that, when garments which hang from the shoulders are worn, the apices of the lungs, being unprotect- ed by any bony structures, are com pressed, and in unmuscular subjects the constant weight of clothes hung upon the shoulder causes tendency of stooping.-Medical ecord.

The editor of the Hartford Time' goaded to fury by a few of the state papers for its attitude toward bos; rule in Connecticut arose in it! might last evening and smote ths bosses right and left. Listen:
 There are indications that the line of argument decided on by the republican managers in Connecticut as to carrying out the desires of the voters is in substance that the voters have no real desires that the organiz- ation is not meeting, that all the rest is sentimental non- sense, and that those who think otherwise are mistaken. Within a few days this notion has been put forth both in print and in private speech, and it is a nov city. Those who rem ember the freedom of speech in and out of the legislature at the last ses- sion know that there was bitter complaint because certain things which all agreed were generally desired were not all lowed by the managing politi- clans to be done. It was large ly as to such things that the quarrel between Governor Woodruff and the leaders of his party arose and became so acute. The trouble seems to be that the people who are not generally active in politics are discouraged. They have been taught so long that it is their business to follow when some body tells them he is a leader and knows what should be done, while they are not competent to decide. that they doubt them selves. They would like to do something but they do not know how to do it, and lack disinter- ested leaders to show them the way. They have lost the nat ural power of initiative which makes the strength of a demo- cratic government. Until they pluck up courage to do some thing for themselves they will not gain much on their present condition. but there is not req son to doubt that if they will begin they will find leaders. And 1t is not strange that leaders

Editor Alexander Troup's several visits to Vermont have borne fruit, sure enough. The republican plu- rality has been reduced several thousand since last election, and is the lowest it has been in 16 years
 No wonder Chairman Hitchcock had a fit of the blues after his trip through New England several days ago. It will be remembered that he had something to say about the loading down of the ticket in Con- necticut with a candidate that would not be of much use when it came to adding strength to the national candidate. 2,

 appear when the voters them
 selves grumble and consent. in-
 stead of asserting themselves.
 In this respect, at least, the
 much defeated democrats have
 the advantage: they express themselves pretty freely and
 fight. for what they believe. even
 when they waste good time and
 material by fighting among
 themselves.

Returns of shipping and tonnage of the Suez canal from London show that British tonnage passing through increased 1,195,937 in 1907 as com- pared with 1906; the increase of German. tonnage was 9S,O99. The net tonnage. also exhibits an all. round increase, the figures for the past year showing an increase or 1,2S2,930 tons as compared with that of 1906 and an increase ol 1,594,329 over 1905. Receipts dur- ing 1907 showed an increase of s1,- 557,0O0 as compared with 1906. This increase, the returns set forth. was not due to abnormal causes, but to the general activity of trade dur ing that year. .

With the discount for cash, con- sumers of gas in Birmingham, Eng land, who use less than 50,000 cubic feet per quarter will pay about 53% cents per 1000, while the price for power purposes will be about 36 h cents per 1000. There are 57,000 automatic (penny-in-the-slot) gas meters in use in Birmingham, and to these consumers 42,000 cooking stoves have been issued.
