,taIy's Foremost Statesman.

Marquis di San Giuliano. Italian
minister of foreign affairs. is Sicilian
nobleman Of Norman descent, with q
consistent hatred of Austria, notwfth-
standing the fact that Italy was sup
pose6ly Austris's friend. He has lived
sixty-one years. more than half Of
which have been spent In public life.
First, undersecretary in the ministry
of agriculture, he was transferred in
a subordinate capacity to the foreign
office. In 1899 he was made postmas-
ter-general, a position that seems to
have been little to his liking. In 1903,
however, he gained the post he long
had sought and became minister for
foreign affairs. He spent much time
in the United States in 1904, attend
ing the Interparliamentary union at
st. Louis as president of the Italian
delegation. As result OF the Italian
Turkish war the king of Italy created
him a knight Of the Order Of the An
nunciation.

Life In the Falkland,

There are worse places OF which to
be wrecked than the Falkland islands,
where the Liverpool steamer Oravia
foundered. The inhabitants Of Fort
Stanley are a prosperous race. noted
for their hospitality. Living is cheap
in the islands, and all kinds Of Eng
lish fruits and vegetables abound
there. There are, however, two great
drawbacks to life in the Falklands.
The climate is never really warm, and
fires have to be kept up all the year
round. Servants are procured with
difficulty. Most people import them
from England; but as English girls
are frequently snapped up and mar
ried as soon as they land, they have
to sign an agreement to remain in
service three years. If they break

JUST TO DIVERT ATTENTION
Negro Girl Had Excellent Reason for
Head Ornament That Looked
Strange.

One morning Mrs. Wilmington's at.
tention was attracted by a strange
spectacle coming up the street. At
that distance she could not quite make
1t out; it appeared to be some sort OF
animal with a headlight fastened to
its forehead. As 1t came nearer 1t re-
solved itself into the shape of a human
being-perhaps some sheik with red
fez. But in another moment Mrs. VIII
mington recognized Martha Maria So
phrina Smith, the seventeen-year-old
negro girl who came every Monday for
the laundry.
Martha Maria had a flaming red Hib-
bon four inches wide round her head;
it was tied in front at the roots of her
kinky hair into a huge bow, the wings
of which stood out four inches beyond
her forehead.
Mrs. Wilmington Has surprised, for
although she had noticed some of the
signs OF pride of dress in Martha
Maria, the girl had more than the or
binary amount of good taste.
Why, Martha" exclaimed Mrs. VIII
mington, as the girl came round the
porch, what in the world are you
wearing that bow for?"
A slow grin widened the girls mouth
and she relaxed into that sagging
droop which in a negro indicates q
readiness for conversation.
ITO attract attention, missy"
ITO attract attention? Why do you
want to attract attention."
