One reason for its being apparently

fact that bellows Of the olden time

viii often be found to be worthily rep
resentative Of the furniture style of its
period. Pre-eminently was this the
case In Italy when, in the exuberant
art of the renaissance, the great mas
tiers themselves did not begrudge their
labors even on the adornment of such
comparatively humble detail Of do
nestle plenishing. Some Of the most
exquisite pieces Of carved walnut
wood furniture belonging to the Ital-
ian quatero cento and cinque cento
periods are the bellows, pair of
which, with wondrously elaborate
Venetian carving, fetched at the IA

1892 no less a sum than $500.
Experts abroad often make rare
finds, few of which are here repro

of walnut wood, carved and gilt, with
nozzle OF copper, richly ehiseled. The
front is surmounted by a mascheron,

London--News Of Ameri-

Rome, Jan. LITTLE parliamentary
committee, which is examining thu
measures proposed by the government
in the Italian Chamber of Deputies
has modified them with the consent Of
the cabinet. The changes provide that
for five years instead of per cent for
two years and that the earthquake-zone
be exempted from building tax Of II
years. A further provision is that all
unclaimed valuables in the devasted
district be devoted by the government
TO the relief of the survivors.
The sitting of the Chamber Of Depu-
ties yesterday was even more impress
sive than that of Friday. Deputy
1ommaso Villa, the veteran of the
Parliament, who has sat in the Cham
Der since 1865, and has several times
been minister, was intrusted by the
parliamentary committee to make a
report on the measures proposed by the
government for the amelioration of
conditions resulting from the earth
quake. BE did so orally in an eloquent
address, at the conclusion of which the
Chamber gave unanimous approval TO
the measures agreed upon between the
government and the parliamentary
committee.

said had little chance of reaching Cat
ania alive. They were, therefore, taken
from the train and cared for at Taor-

English physician, DR.. Eastwood, and
Lis wife were indefatigable in their Ia
bors. -Four of the injured died during
the first two days. "All the bakers of
TaorInina,a Miss Sherman said, "were
kept at work making bread and they
were paid by contributions from the
foreign colony. We all did everything
possible to obtain clothing TO cover the

many children among the refugees who
had been made orphans by the earth

they teach embroidery, gave themselv-
