ioaa of Palermo.

If you wish to realize what devotion
to ices means you should go to Paler-
mo. All over the south Of Italy ices
are eaten to an extent Of which we do
pat dream, but In Sicily and Palermo
I'll particular the custom has attained
amazing proportions. Ices are eaten
by people Of all ranks and ages from
morning to night. Where true Briton
would demand glass Of beer the Pa.
lermian asks for an Ice. Morning, noon
and night the consumption of ices goes
on. They are In wonderful variety
and cheap. The stranger in that beau
tiful country finds the cafes invaded
between 4 and 8 by ice eaters. He sees
officers and men Of the army, mer-
chants and work people, the rich and
the poor of both sexes consuming ices
with gusto No one evades this pleas
ant duty. Lines Of carriages draw up
at the side of the pavement before the
cafes, the occupants, the coachman and
the footman all with their favorite del
icacy. At first the stranger wonders.
then he falls a victim.- London Chron-
icle.

Answerino The Critics.

Some members OF the congregation
Of the late DR.. Joseph Brown Of Glas-
gov objected to his frequent absence
from home and complained Of it-some
of them to him personally and more of
them behind his back. When he
thought he had heard enough Of 1t he
addressed his congregation one Sun
day thus:
with regard to objection concerning
my absence, have to say, first, when
l am out of the pulpit l am usually in
some other body's pulpit. When you
are not in your own pew, are you in
some other body's pew? Second, when
am out of my pulpit put some other
body into it. When you are out of your
pew, do you put some other body into
it2 Third, when am out of my pulpit

self to ill it, and you have'a chance Of
hearing the leading preachers in the
church, and sometimes get worse
men than myself to fll 1t, and the
chance of hearing them ought to make
you thankful for your mercies."

Why In = ParnoIa2

An interesting question is raised by
q writer on gardens In the Atlantic
Monthly. Why should so many Amer
lean gardens have that queer, irrele-
want, useless thing called "pergola?"
Generally 1t Is built In spot where
shade is called for, but the pergola,
having no roof, affords no shade. 1t Is
really a trellis and Is borrowed from
countries where It is used to support
grapevines, but American grapevines
are kept pruned back to mere stumps,
and the pergola, as affected by our
suburbanites, is of no use at all as a
grape trellis. What is its use we have
never been able to fin out. Perhaps
some one knows. AS one generally
sees II, the pergola is a sprawllng, ex-
tremely naked object, suggesting a
shed which has had its roof blown or
by q gale or henroost that has been
deserted by the hens because 1t is no
good. Can 1t be that It is regarded by
some people as ornamental?

ktOOseNott NSuSs
That the results of the state elections
in Vermont and Maine mean a tremen.
dous Democratic victory in November
is freely admitted by all except the bit
terest partisans. Political experts have
done much analyzing, and some claim
to have reached novel conclusions. But
these facts stand out:
On Monday, Sept. 0, 1912, the Repub-
lican and third term parties combined
elected William T. Haines governor Of
Maine over Frederick W. Plaisted, the
present Democratic incumbent, by
3,023 plurality; In 1908, presidential
year, q Republican was elected COVER
nor by 1858 plurality; In 1904 the plu.
rality was 25,8O0, and in 1900 1t was
34,132. In other words, In twelve
years the Democrats have cut down
the Republican plurality in state elec-
tons by 31,100.
In this period the Democratic vote
has increased from 10000 to 6S.00O.
whereas the Republican vote has de-
creased from $4,000 to 71,O00. The
Democratic vote Of this year exceeds
that of September, 1908, by 1000, but
the Republican vote is about 1000 less
than that party cast four years ago.
The split in the Republican ranks,
following the election of William I.
Haines, is pronounced If the diyi.
sion in Maine In November is as 1t
was in the recent Vermont election
six-tenths Of the Republican vote will
60 for Taft, three-tenths for Roose-
velt and one-tenth for the Demo
Gratis. 1t is significant that the latter
party has to date suffered no losses,
as compared with the vote in previous
years, from the third term move
ment. On the contrary, 1t has gained.
The result In Maine may be expected
to be something like this; Wilson, IA
600; Taft, 42,6O0; Roosevelt, 21,300.
The returns from the recent Vermont
election show In round figures that
the joint Republican and third party
vote was 8 per cent short OF the Re-
publican vote four years ago, while
the Democratic vote In that state
shows q gain Of 25 per cent over that
| of 1908. 1t is Of special interest to
speculate what will happen next No
vember throughout the nation II the
Republican and Democratic vote FOL
the national tickets happens to be ar
fected as the gubernatorial vote this
| month in Vermont has been affected
| The New York Post has done some In
teresting figuring along this line, and
as d net result It Is shown that under
the contingencies mentioned President
Taft would carry only two states In
November, Rhode Island and Vermont,
all the others going for Governor VIII
son. The conclusions reached by the
Post follow:
To compute this result we should
have to deduct per cent from the
vote cast for Taft four years ago and
apportion the remaining vote in the
ratio of 62 to 3S between Taft and
Roosevelt, and we should have to add
35 per cent tG Bryan's vote In 1908
and give the "demnition total to
woodrow wilson--in other words, give
Taft 81 per cent and Roosevelt 35 per
cent of Taft's vote four years ago
and give Wilson 125 per cent of Bryan's
vote four years ago.

be as follows, SO far as regards Taft
