Nine. Sada Yacco. the famous Japa-
nese actress, who had been q friend Of
the assassinated Prince Ito from her
childhood. told the following amusing
anecdotes:
I'm my frequent quarrels with my
husband we sometimes asked Prince
Ito to judge between US. One day
when we had had a more than usually
violent dispute at Chigasaki the prince

"'Go down into the garden. both of

MOUNT ETNA'S ACTIVITIES.
Last Important Eruption of the VOL
cano Was In 1907.

Mount Etna, the famous volcano
which recently broke out again in a
violent state of eruption, is the grand
est Of European volcanoes and has a
well earned reputation for destructive
outbursts. More than a hundred erup-
tons of more or less violence are re-
corded In its history. Ii has been built
up by ages Of Intense activity on a
colossal scale. covering larger area
than Vesuvius and at times exceeding
the latter in the volume Of its lava
discharges.
In the long eruption of 1852 and 1853
Mount Etna elected a torrent of lava
six miles long and from one to two
miles broad. On July 81. 1892, i'm
mense masses Of rock were projected
out Of the volcano to q great height,
and dense clouds overhung the noun
tain, while the subterranean rum
blings were intense, and the disturb
ance continued to the second week
Of August, with steady increase in
the flow of lava.
Mount Etna's last important erup-
ton was in May, 1907, and was cou-
pied with an eruption of Stromboli.
New craters opened in both mountains,
and the observatories of Messina and
Catania registered earthquakes. Smoke
and flames issuing from the main
crater Of Mount Ttna were visible for
long distance. and there was great
alarm among the people inhabiting the
villages in the luxuriant zone around
the mountain.
Mr.. Frank A. Ferret. assistant di-
rector of the royal observatory on
Mount Fesuvius, visited Mount Etna
on this occasion and witnessed the
eruption, which he had predicted for
the end of April. There were contin-
ued loud explosions and earth shocks,
which were especially severe at the
Etna observatory. This building Is
situated at an elevation of 5000 feet
and is only LOO feet from the crater.
Mount Etna is situated close to the
east coast of Sicily. 1t is an almost
circular flattened cone and rises to an
altitude of 10,750 feet. The mountain
is dotted over with large secondary
cones. Its lower slopes are exception
ally fertile, well cultivated and dense
ly inhabited, but above 1000 feet all
is black and barren. Eruptions take
place on an average after intervals of
four or five years. The most destruc-
tive outbreaks were those Of 1859,
1869, 1903, 1902, 1870. 1886 and 1892.

Mrs. Burch read a biographical

times before and after the civil. war.

tifying to his sterling qualities of

l.. B. Rogers, who also INDUCED in

The meeting of old friends and
relatives, the recalling of old days,

4. Diplomatic Official.

During the reign of Emperor Napo-
leon III. he and the empress visited
Normandy and had arranged to spend
a couple of days at Evreux. Nj. jan
vier de la Monte. who was the project,
learned that the revolutionaries intend
ed to hiss the sovereigns as they pass
ed, and so he summoned the leaders of
the movement and told them that he
knew Of their plot. IF you carry out
your plan," said he to them, you will
get six months in prison. If you do
not your friends will accuse you of
cowardice and treason. AS way out
of the difficulty l propose to lock you
up at once until the emperor has
gone" The conspirators accepted the
terms offered them, and so the en-
peror was greeted only by cheers, as
the revolutionaries. frightened at the
arrest of their chiefs, had not dared to
utter sound. After the emperor and
empress had gone the project went in
person to release his prisoners, who
had had such a pleasant time that they
greeted him with cries of Long live
the prefectw to which Nj. Janvier de
la Monte, who was a man of wit, re-
piled, "My friends, do not overdo it,"

Cemeteries Where Women Gossip.

Friday. the Sabbath of the Moslems,
when all true believers of the mascu-
line gender make Il point of going to
church, their wives, sisters and daugh-
tiers resort to the cemeteries and wall
for the dead. But all their time is not
spent in weeping. and sorrow Is not
the only emotion they display, on these
occasions. They take with them
punches and garlands of flowers and
decorate the graves of their relatives
and pray and weep over the dead for
a time. Then when this pious duty is
performed they gather in little groups
and have good time gossiping about
the living Thus the day Of mourning
is very popular among the Moslem wo-
men. 1t gives them almost the only
opportunity they have of cultivating
the acquaintance of their neighbors.

Extension of the farmers institute

the latest development of the policy
of paternal solicitude for the great
American agriculturist as pursued by
the department of agriculture The
betterment Of the home surroundings
Of the farmer. with particular regard
for the advantages of good housekeep-
ing. wholesome cooking. the observ-
ance of the laws of sanitation, the
identifying of the home inside and
out, the economical administration of
the women's side of the business of
farming. pure water. ventilation and
an endless variety of minor items

the farmers wife and daughters more
attractive are the purpose of this new
division of the department.
Professor John Hamilton. formerly
state secretary of agriculture Of Penn

Of farmers Institutes.
The work of the womens institutes
Is perhaps broader in it's scope than
that for the men. 1t is certainly more
varied. In twenty-one states Of the
Union they have begun the work al
ready, and within year or so every
agricultural state In the Union will
have organized institutes for the wom-
en- folk.
The department Of agriculture has
just issued its first pamphlet on the
subject Of the farmers institute for
women. 1t is hoped that this will be
but forerunner Of much more along
the same lines. 1t is the hope Of the
department authorities that they will
be able to put in circulation a compre-
hensive series of bulletins, similar to
those in regular circulation on general
farm subjects, which will prove of
real interest and great value to the
farm women Of America-really worth
