What are the prospects of the people?

those between Ireland and England,
largely religious, but they are certain
ly radical, and the gulf between the
easygoing, but passionate, children Of
the two Sicilies and the hardy noun
taineer and stalwart cultivator of the
Piedmont plains is almost as wide as
the chasm between the Teuton and the
Celt. Victor Emanuel's favorite unifier
of Italy was the army, but, says the
Fortnightly Review, it has turned in the
hands of his successor into disin-
tegrator. 1t was all very we'll to move
the army up and down Italy when the
army was a symbol of common liberia
ton from which SO much was expected;
but now the tyrants are gone there is
no longer halo of romance about the
army, nothing but army bills. The
tyrant now Is the tax collector.
Undoubtedly the people have griev-
ance. The taxes have been not only
cruelty but unjustly exacted. The coll
iector has entered Sicilian cottages,
backed by the police, and, seeing the
pot'a-feu smoking, argued that those

A PlE-EATING HORSE.


He Has Been known to Refuse Oats for
Pie and L. Fat and Sleek.
Leonard Jacobs, pie peddler of An
sonia, Conn.,, has one of the most re.
markable horses in Connecticut. Other
towns have boosted OF horses that chew
tobacco, chew gum or drink beer, but
Jacobs morse will eat pie, says q local
exchange. The, horse is twenty three
years old. Jacobs pies come from New
Haven, packed in cases, and in trans
portation some of them generally get
broken and cannot be sold. One day
Jacobs threw broken pie on the
ground near the horses head. The ami
NAL smelled of it, touched 1t with his
tongue, Tapped 1t up and ate it with
relish. Then Jacobs began to feed pies
to the horse. The horse soon got to
like them, and would even refuse oats
when pie was to be had. The habit
has grown on him, until now, when
Jacobs says '.pie" to him, the horse will
turn his head and wink expectantly.
He has decided preference for mince
pie, and the more raisins and currants
and cider there are the better he is
pleased. Apple pie is great favorite
with him. Most bakers put grated nut
meg into the apple pie, and this doesn't
seem to agree with the equine taste.
Pumpkin pie he likes and cranberry
tarts are an especial delight. Peach,
apricot, berry and prune pies are &C.
ceptable, but unless the prunes are
stoned he will not touch prune pie after
the tirst bite. The horse is fat, sleek,
and youthful in his movements, and
Jacobs expects to keep him on the pie
cart until he is losg past the age when
most horses are turned out to grass for
the rest Of their days or are carted to
the horse cemetery by the side of the
uurky waters Of the NauQatuck river.

Baron Nordensk jold has shown prse-
tically that water can be found by Dor.
ing into granite and other crystalline
rocks to a depth Of from one hundred
to one hundred and seventy feet. His
theory was that the variations in tenn.
perature ought to cause shearine
strains between the upper and lower
layers OF the rock, which would make
horizontal crevices into which water
from the surface would percolate, and
that the water would be fresh. A well
was sunk in the islet Of Arko, on the
Swedish coast, in 1894, and at one hun.
dred and ten feet fresh water was
found. supplying four thousand fou.
hundred gallons . day; since then six
other wells have been bored and water
found At about the same depth. The
object Of the search was to provide
lighthouses and pilot stations with 1
permanent and plentiful supply %
water.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

PERFUMES are now extensively man

compare fayorably with foreign manu-
features.
England manufactures perfumes
on very large scale, importing many of
the materials from other countries.
but also making large use of home
grown herbs and flowers.
Many woods have sugar and gum in
their composition, and the presence Of
these elements is generally shown by
the attraction the wood seems to have
for many kinds of insects.

The trade in California sweet wines
is showing a gratifying increase. The

100000 gallons, which is 25 per cent.

Heretofore there has been little profit
in the vintages because of the fierce COM

have now made arrangements with a
sweet-wine syndicate which will con-

give all concerned some share in the

OF much comment. Itnow appears that
the humblebees of Europe and America
have identical habits in regard to the

made, and that it is the class of insects

The question of the influence of the
size of seeds upon termination and up
on the size of the plants that spring
therefrom has recently been studied
anew by Mr.. B. r. Galloway, summary
of whose conclusions is given by the
Gardeners Chronicle. The weight and
size of the seed are of great Importance.
A large seed terminates better and more
quickly, and with it one can count upon
having at the same moment from IS to
90 per cent. of the total crop,while with
small seeds the crop reaches maturity
only in successive periods of time, SO
that at no moment in gathering the
crop in toto could we have the same
proportion of the whole. Besides,
where with small seeds four successive
crops are obtained, we have six with
large seeds, their evolution occurring
with greater rapidity

THE SWEATER.
4 Curious Fuaeral Rite Which Obtained
in Wales.

Curious Fuaerai Rite Which Obtained
in Wales.
The principality of Wales has within
living memory possessed an official
known as the "sin-eater." 1t was the
practice for a relative-usually wom-
an-to put on the breast of deceased
person a quantity of bread and cheese
and beer, and the sin-eater was sent for
to consume them and to pronounce the
everlasting rest of the departed. TWAS
believed that in doing this he absolutely
ate and appropriated to himself the sins
symbolized by the viands, and thereby
prevented their disturbing the repose of
the sinner who had committed them.
Such an arrangement would obviously
leave nothing to be desired on the one
side, but how it worked on the other we
are not told. What was supposed to be
the condition of this spiritual under
taker after the ceremony was con-
cluded? Did his appropriation" of the
Head mans sins imply sort of moral as
similation of them, answering to his
physical assimilation of the bread and
cheese? The question would obviously
be one of some Importance to sin-eater
in large practice. If the responsible
ties of his profession were as great as
ties of his profession were as great as
hypothesis, he would need to retire
from it early, and to devote consider
able portion Of his closing years to re-
pentance and good works.
Again, it is natural to ask what hap
pened at the decease of a popular or
fashionable" sin-eater. Would any,
one among his professional brethren
undertake to eat his sins, even in the
first flush of satisfaction produced by
stepping into his shoes? If SO, then,
indeed. has the epithet of gallant"
,een rightly bestowed upon little Wales.
1t is as though one doctor succeeding to
another's practice should consent to as
sumo the moral responsibility for his
late colleagues treatment of all his de-
ceased patients, in addition to his own
imilar burdens.
We yield to none in admiration of the
luiet and homely heroism of the medi-
al profession, but we doubt whether it
would enable them to face such an Or
Zeal as this. AS to the Welsh practi-
TONERS to whom we have compared
hem. we shrink from pursuing the an

Devices for Making the Complexion net
ter and Adding to Physical Beauty.
Vanity furnishes the inspiration for
many Of the inventions Of the patent
Office. One of these is a mask of very
thin rubber, designed to be worn ON
the face at night. 1t causes profuse
perspiration, which washes impurities
out Of the skin and makes the complex
ion clearer. Sun tan Is quickly re-
moved, so it is claimed.
Another device for producing dim
pies, according to the Cincinnati Com
mercial Gazette, is woman's idea. It
Is wire mask, likewise to put on when
going to bed. BY an arrangement Of
screws, pencils of wood, very blunt, are
made to press upon the cheeks and
chin ut the points where dimples are
desired. Uncomfortable? Why, Of
course. But, as the French say, It Ia
worth while to suffer for beauty's sake.
False busts, hips and calves are made
of rubber, to be blown out like bal
looms, and in many other styles, while
the young lady Of build hopelessly
slseletonesque may procure complete
stuffed jacket which flls out her form

If one is so unfortunate as to lack .

Another is especially designed for

the mustached drinker is able to avoid

Celia Made s15O.OOO Offer.

Two weeks ago Celia made an offer
of $150.000 for the st. Louis club, and
the ST Louis manager considered the
matter long and thoughtfully. The
Cardinal owner finally settled the fig
ure at $250,00O but Celia has hoped
that he would compromise by accept
ing 100000.
There is any amount of opposition
to Celia and his pals getting into the
baseball game, particularly on the part
of the American league.
The statement is made today that
if Robson sells out to the syndicate
the relations between the National and
American leagues will be quickly sew.
cred, and baseball war will be de-
clared without delay.
Garry Hermann, owner of the Gin
cinnati club and chairman of the ma
tional committee, has notified Robson
that under no circumstances will the
commission allow the Cardinals to be
sold to the syndicate. Robson is OBJ
durate, however, and is said to have
sent word to Hermann that he will
sell the st. Louis club to Celia or any
one else who will pay the price.
Dropped Big Hunk.
Robson is said to have dropped a
quarter of a million dollars in base
ball and is anxious to get out OF the
game.
Celia is a millionaire, but he is so
deeply interested in the race track
gambling that some Of the most influ-
entail baseball magnates do not be-
lieve that it would be a good thing
for baseball in ST. Louis, if Celia and
his associates were allowed to mingle
in the game.
Cella's friends, however, say that if
Robson sells out, big money will be
spent by the new owners to give st
Louis crack team, and that Celia
will have practically nothing to 10
with the playing end Of the club.
