Naples, Jan. 1S-Hundreds of girls made orphans by the recent earth quake are objects of the governments matchmaking facilities, and resultant weddings are daily taking place.

 This action on the part of the gov ernment fimpelled by the fear that unless they are m arried many of the destitute young women will be driven to immoral lives. A great per cent age of these girls are from the coun- try and are entirely msophisticated.

 Seven Dollars Per Ten.

The cabbage season which Is now about over has resulted in the ship ment of thirty cars of cabbage aver aging sS7.0O per ton net to the grower or approximately $1O5 net per acre.
 The Semi Tropic Produce Com pany had signed up 150 acres, which netted the growers over S15,000. While the average net returns show over $t00 per acre, there are several cases, where the growers, who under stood their business and looked after their crop, netted over s200 per acre. The onion crop Is now coming on and Mir. Hall estimates that from 176 acres, which his firm has signed up, they will ship eighty cars and the price will very likely exceed 1M cents per pound which will net the growers over s20O per acre. Mir. Halls advice to farmers Is to transplant their onion instead of planting seed, and says that the onion thrip is prac- tically unknown in the Imperial val ley.
 Although the acreage of peas was small, the growers have netted 7h cents per pound.

The Most Common Cause of Suffering
 Rheumatism causes more pain and suffering than any other disease, for inc reason that is is the most com mon of all ills and it is certainly gratifying to sufferers to know that Chamberlain's Eminent will afford re- lief, and make rest and sleep possi- ble. In many cases the relief from pain, which is at first temporary has become permanent, while in old peo- pie subject to chronic rheumatism, often brought on by dampness or changes in the weather, permanent cure cannot be expected; the relief from pain which this liniment affords Is alone worth many times its cost. % and 50 cent sizes for sale by Dun- away & Lowe.

Iandxr.,an and Sailor.

To the landSman the sea must al- ways possess dangers that to the sailor appear only as casual phenomena upon which to exercise his skill. The pray
 CT book has a special petition for the safety of those who go down to the sea in ships, and every one who ven lures to leave the shore goes forth with a consciousness of awe at his own daring. Yet in the intricate com pleXity of modern civilization safety on land and safety at sea have walked by no means with equal step. Every morning brings us some story of death or accident on land, while the great passenger ships come and go in monot
 onous regularity, bringing no reports more stirring than those of high seas that have kept theen from making new records. With the present madness for speed and it's attendant reckless ness our streets demand constant alertness if one would cross them with safety. Speed at sea has come through larger and more stoutly constructed ships. So the familiar old story of the sailorman at sea in a storm who. se- rene in his consciousness of ample sea room, piously ejaculated, God help the poor folks ashore tonightw is not wholly fantastic.-L. Frank Tooker in Century.

On Hirina a Cook.

The woman in need of cook was so well groomed and looked so generally prosperous that the manager of the employment agency thought he had at last found place for the high priced French cook for whom he had been trying to find situation. But tine new customer would not even listen to the praises of the French cook.
 Don't mention French cooks to me-" she said, 'nor graduates of cook ing schools. I've tried both, 1 like their cooking, and don't object to the wages they ask, but they take up too much room. My kitchen isn't large enough to hold all the cooking utnn- sils they require, and my income isn't large enough to buy them. Those stylish cooks need four times as many pots and pans and molds and things as ordinary cooks use. If I hire a fancy cook shall have to move into a fancy apartment to get a kitchen big enough to accommodate her''
 That is a common complaint against these experts, foreign and American" sighed the manager. T am beginning to think there must be something in it.''-New York Sun.

The Twenty Cent Revenge.

She was in very bad temper as she boarded an Amsterdam avenue car. Her temper was not improved by the fact that as she drew quarter of a dollar from her jeweled gold purse the coin slipped from her fingers and roll ed on the floor of the car. She made no move to recover the money, but when the conductor came in to collect her fare she pointed with the tip of her handsome parasol to the coin.
 '''I dropped my fare" she said snap pishly. -"Pick it up.'
 The young conductor looked her fin the eye for just a moment, and then, stopping, he picked the coin from be- tween the slats on the floor covering. Leisurely he took four nickels from his pocket and put them where the quarter had been before. Maybe 1t was the effort of bending that made his face red When he straightened up he rang up the fare, turned and sauntered back to the rear platform New York Press.
