Dy him and through him all the old instruments of torture are in use. Spies fill the cities, detectives scour the fields, informers listen to all speech, public and private; literary clubs and co-operative societies are arbitrarily dissolved; packed juries condemn; venal judges sentence; military courts imprison civilians; civil courts judge homicidal officers; time serving prefects deny the franchise to all Independent thinkers and manipulate the electoral lists to suit their governments; lads as they come singing through the country lanes are arrested if the song is of lib erty; little children writing in chalk on the town wall are sent to prison fot forty-five days. There is a reign of ter ror from Alps to Etna, and the police, armed to the teeth, swarm everywhere and the prisons are crowded with inno cent citizens. The country has gone back to the darkest and worst days of Austria and papal tyranny and the name of the tyrant is ostensibly Hum bert of Savoy; in reality, Francesco Ci-ispl. Meanwhile there is no check, whatever oar- the caprices and coercion of bis rule. It is already stated that to vrouure funds, nominally for Africa, actually for the elections, confiscated church property, now state property, is to be largely and without the consent of parliament illegally sold. To any one who cares tor liberty and believes it to be the sole moral hygiene of a na tion the state of Italy at the present time is painful and humiliating. Equally so to any unbiased English thinker is the attitude of the *eading English newspaper® upon Italian af fairs, which they coutinuously and sys tematically conceal or distort, ii is difficult, well-nigh Impossible to make the most intelligent Englishman com prehend Italian public life. He is mis led by the surface semblance of his own institutions of monarchy, parlia ment and electorate and he does not comprehend the enormous unllkeness of all these.to his own caused by character and custom. AERIAL TRAVEL, Limitations Which Burro and Animals In Their Right It ia evident that not one ot these would-be flying machine men haa ever terlonaly undertaken to aolve the prob-, lem mentally, saya the Pittsburg Dis patch. There is but one way of getting through the air by mechanical action, and that ia by cleavage. There are really only two forms of cleavage, the one as represented by wing action as applied by insects and birds, the other a rotary action as represented by the screw of a steamer. To the application of the wing principle there is a limit set by natural law, Just as In animal forms there Is a limit set to either bfr pedal or quadrupedal construction There is, perhaps, no form of cleavage that represents the expenditure of force more economically than wing action aa manifested In the flight of a wild goose. Here is an exceptionally large avoir dupois for the wing area, but the bird cannot carry any additional weight. In the birds of prey, the body is lighter In proportion to wing surface—a light, compact frame, but immense muscular action, capable of carrying for a short distance a load of from eight to twelve pounds. But the limit is soon found, and there Is not a winged creature on the earth weighing fifty pounds that can mount into the air and cleave as a true flyer. Why do not the ostrich, the great auk, the earn and other congeners of these bird tribes properly fly, since they are equipped with cleavers aa are other birds of flight? Walkers and swimmers, as well as flyers, are all, by natural law, limited within certain re strictions, and It Is remarkable that these Inventors haws not learned this, as it Is a fact of the utmost importance, and one which, in a careful analyst* must early disclose itself. •am lUki am * rreN Mil. To make meet delicious u mil aa healthful salad um a goad ripe grape fruit and crisp, fresh head of lettace. Wash the lettuce and let it stand in cold water till needed, then shake oat the leaves and arrange them la the sal ad bowl. Cut the grape-fruit in half and with a spoon take out all the pulp, taking care to preserve the juice. Ar range the pulp in the lettuce leaves and make a greasing of oil and the Juice. To every three tablespoonfuls of this oil allow half a teaspoonful of pepper. Put all these ingredients in a bowl and dissolve the salt and pepper in the oil, then rub the spoon with a dose of garlic and stir in the juloe of the fruit until emulsion is formed. Pour it over the lettuce and pulp and servo at once. About one teaspoonful of jolts should be sufficient for three of oil, but it •* not possible to lay down any exact rule. Vigorous stirring is essential, and SI soon as a whitish compound is formed the dressing is ready far use.—Philadel phia Record. Cheese Crechers.

Mr. Barrli'i ••Kecollaotlou of w who*) ranxtar Wr'ttrn «t an R:,rlv ^ y,. Having legnrd to Mp. J. b<. pie’s visit to Dumfries academy, tin. i Courier and Herald of that place . prints some extracts from the novel | ist’s early contributions to a school magazine called the Clown, which he and some friends started. Young Harrie writes some “Reckolections" in the asumed role of a "skoolraas ter” whose spelling is Artemus Wardian. In his second installment he complains that the editor “spelt sum of the wurds in my last reo kollections rong,” and he adds: “Althe, of ooars, I maik jew allow ance for yoor eddukation not being equal to mine. I hop you will be more calrful.” Resuming the “Reckollec tions,” be writes: “I alwals open the school with prair, as I think it a verry good thing to do, and I got two skollars by it Now, my skollars have gen erally verry durty faces. Well, one day in the middle of my prair won of the boys crept in belo the tabol, and ' when he was there anuther boy cam ■ in at the door with a cleen fasc. i This was too mutch for the boy in j belo the tabel, and, just as 1 had fln | ished saying ‘And may they crie , from the botom of their harts-.’ bo • shouted out ‘Lord Almichti. there’s | Jock Smith wi’ his face washed!” ! Here is an instanoe of how ef fectively the lad could reproduce a conversation. Relating a railway i journey the sohoolmaster says: I ‘‘On my rode we passed the river ‘Aye.’ A gentleman asked me, ‘What river is that?’ “I was meditatin’, so I answered abruptly, ‘Aye.’ "The gentleman repeated his ques tion, and I, thin kin’ he had not heard me, again replied ‘Aye.’ “ ‘Could- -you—tell — me—what- - river—that—is?' he roared into my “1 again answered‘Aye. ’ “ 'Sir, said he, *1 sea you want to Insult me!1 “I couldn't comprehend what he said till another person in the tranc Informed me that he thoat that 1 meant *eh’ when I said ‘aye.1 ” Here is another example woll worth giving: “The minister of the town was sed to be a good preacher, and so I went to heer him on the furst Sabboth of the munth. I went early, and their wer only one person there who I saw was a nelder. I sed to him, 'When does service begin?’ “The man staired. •• ‘When does service begin?’ I agen asked. “To my surprise the elder ex claimed: ‘What abomnabul impurt nense. Pray, sur, do yoa know oor respecktit ministir?’ “ ‘Me no him? Ho,’ sed L “ ‘Then get oot o’ this,’ he re plied. ‘You impurnant skoundral git oot o' this; an’ if I sea you here agen I’ll kick you oot mysel!’ “Of oourse I was grately aston ished at the man, not noing anythink I bad sed about the minister; but it struck me at wonce that the minis ter’s name was Service!” Admiral da Horsey amt the Sentry. When Admiral de Horsey, who some years ago had command of the British fleet in the Pacific, was the admiral of the North Atlantio squadron, he was one evening dining on shore at Port Royal, Jamaica On returning to his flag-ship alone after dinner, his way to the boat led across the barrack square. A black sentry, of one of the West India regiments, halted him at the gate with, “Who goes darP” Great was the admiral’s annoyance to find he had neglected to get the pass-word before leaving the ship. “That’s all right,” he said carelessly, hoping to overcome the man’s scruples by indifference; “you know who I am.” “Dunno nobody, sar," replied the nigger, pompously; "you can’t go in dar.” “Why, I’m Admiral de Horsey.” “Well, you can’t go in, I don’t care if you’s Admiral de Donkey. ”—Argonaut Uarul by Experience. A certain judge in Chicago, who rather prides himself on his vast and varied knowledge of law, was com* pelted not long ago to listen to a cuse that had been appealed from a justice of the peace. The young practi tioner who appeared for the appel lant was long and tedious; he brought in all the elementary text-books and quoted the fundamental propositions of law. At last, the judge thought it was time to make an effort to hurry him up. “£an’t we assume,” he said, blandly, “that the court knows a little law itselfP” “That’s the very mistake I made in the lower court,” answered the young man, “I don't want to let it defeat me twice.”— Argonaut. A UMIn in HmI. Half a century ago, when “sub* jects” were bought by the surgeons, a poor man, Writes James Payn, fell dead in Fleet street Without a mo ment’s hesitation, a young fellow who was passing threw himself on his knees beside the corpse, exclaim ing: “My father, my dear father!” A crowd gathered round, their sym pathy was oxcited, and money was subscribed to enable the pious youth to take away his father’s body in a hackney coach. He did so, and took it to a surgeon, who gave him a hun dred dollars for it Poor Little Thing. “What’s the matter, Molly P” asked Colonel Yerger of his little 6-year-old daughter. “Pa, my mocking bird is dead.” “Well, never mind, fcolly. I’ll buy you another one.” "I am calm enough now, but when I saw that poor little dead bird 1 could have cried like a child,” said Molly.—Texas Siftings. HOW TO FIHD OUT.
