NOISES IN VENICE.
The Way They Crash Upon the Nor
NAL Quiet Of the City.

mai Guiet OF the City.
With an the water traffic and with
not a horse or a cab or a wagon to
wake the echoes. the utter silence Of
Venice is the thing that first impresses
the Traveller. Yet because there is no
UNDERGONE of city noises in which occa-
sional noises may merge the Grand
canal at Venice seems to the sleeper at
night the noisiest place in the world
for every little noise crashes into
ones sleep. and the most wakeful
hours Of our six weeks IN Italy were
spent on the Grand canal in Venice.
The bells Of the churches probably DO
not ring louder nor more frequently
than they ring in other cities. yet be
cause Venice is SO still these belts
clang through the night like the alarm
of a continuous and ever increasing
fire. The bawl of lovelOrn human
calf carrying home three drinks and
a throbbing heart. a noise that may he
heard by the attentive listener any
place on earth after IL O'clock. in
Venice becomes insistent and demo.
niacal. The common quarrel in the
street enters the bedroom at night
with nerve racking distinctness. and
the morning song of the market gar
dener bringing his wares to town 10
his silent boat smites the sleeper's
ears like call to arms If Macbeth
really did murder sleep. the crime was
done in Venice.
There are, of course, considerable
acres in Venice-islands-- where the
streets are paved and where commerce
goes on in the ordinary way, except
that there are no horses or carriages

White in Emporia Gazette.

F|BeLNVE IN THE EATES.
Greek Peasants and the Rule Of the
Moral Over Children.

nhe Peasantry Of Greece firmly be-
IIeve that the future Of every child is
determined 10y the three fates. known
by the name Of the Moral In the
popular mind this trio Of fates are
supposed to be three old and wrinkled
women whose habitation is a noun
tain cave. They come simultaneously
to a house where new baby has
made it's appearance, says the London
Globe.
When they are expected IN furni-
ture is set aside so that their aged
and tOttering feet may not be hin
dered. and refreshments in the shape
OF honey cakes bread and wine are
placed ready for these important
though invisible guests Money, too
is placed for them as a bride to get
their favor for the baby, so that his
future may be one long, sweet song,
the superstition being that all things
good, and bad are in the giving Of the
fates.
On no account must the child's
beauty be alluded to when the Moral
are present, as this will certainly make
its good looks disappear. Marks on
baby's skin are looked upon as sent by
these harbingers Of veal or woe.
Ill luck is supposed to be the lot of
the children who cut their upper teeth
FIRST. There are one or two African
tribes who so firmly believe this that
they are said to kill all babies but
those whose lower teeth appear first.
Another race of people in the dark
continent see all the signs Of bad for
tune In twins, and SO they avoid it by
Staying all of them.
