For the murder of a woman in Mul berry street, New York, five Itallani were arrested.

Of course It Is well for Italy that another nation stands ready to taki such scoundrels off her hands. But, really, should we lose anything ex cept a reputation for soft headed bos pitality if we enacted imnilgratlot laws that would keep them out?

He says In part: "And look at the display o! American patriotism. When the volun teers were summoned by the President they walkpd on the scene as If they bad been waiting In the wings. They were subjected to a physical eiaraint. tlon aa searching as that of a life in surance company. A man was reject ed for two or three filled teeth. Tbey came from all ranks of life. Young lawyers, doctors, bankers, well-paid clerks are marching by thousands in the ranks. The first surgeon to b killed at Guantanamo left a New York practice of $10,000 a year to volunteer. As I was standing on the steps of the Arlington Hotel one evening a tall, thin man, carrying a large suit Ci;se, walked out and got on the street car for tlx railway station on ills way to Tampa. It was John Jacob Ator, the possftx ,r of $1,(hio.000. Theodore Roosevelt's Rough Riders contain a number of the smartest young men in New York so ciety.

He is a naval re serve man. ana sent in bis application for any "post from the stokehole up ward." The same Is true of women. When I called to say good-by to Mrs. John Addison Porter, the wife of tbe secretary of the President, wboe charming hospitality I bad enjoyed, she had cone to Tampa to shin hm a nurse on the Red Cross steamer for the coast of Cuba. And all this, be it remembered. Is for a wsr in which the country Is not in the remotest danger, and when the ultimate summons of patriotism Is unsoken. And these are but a few of very, very many In stances. Thls must have been Intense- j ly interesting to EurojK-sn renders. Of course. thy cttn have 110 id. of a spirit like this. With their limited vi sion they cannot see beyond tbe con script idea. They also have an Im pression that the volunteers cannot make n stand against trained soldiers. That's another wrong Idea, based upon ignorance. The fact of tbe matter is, there are but two nations where love of country In Its truest sense prevails. America and England, these two. Their soldiers fight, not for pay and not far glory, but because they love their coun try. In this sentiment is tbe strength of tbe Anglo-Saxon race. Pe irt-ltar ns; ro.

Wall Of tba Kaa Who Carree tor a Lars Faaiilr. "A Veteran" writes to the Listener of the Boston Transcript to complain of table manners in these later days. Incidentally protesting against tbe bard lot of the father who has to carve for a large family: "In the old way w are taught to wait uuul the carving and helping was done before beginning to dispose of the food, out of respect to the carver, anj so that he might have a chauce to get something to eat and not cuioe out behind all others at the table, but modern 'table manners' seetu to have changed all that, and if the carver gets anything to eat be is lucky. Mod ern table manners also do not appeal to regard It aa any way inappropriate to have a newspaper at hand to occupy the time at table. Tbe old way was to occupy the time in lively conversa tion, and reading a paper or book waa disrespectful. Id modern table man ners there seeinis no Incivility In light ing a cigarette at the table or In ad Journlug to the hall to smoke one while Uie table Is being cleared for deawrt. Tbere are many other Innovations In modern table manners which might be noted, but I think many of the old ways tx-st," Tbe Listener gives the old grumbler comfort. "It Is a quT father of a family who expects to carve and get anything to eat The slae of the roast may te sUnply prodigious, but, even if the young people at the table who were first served do not come around for a Stt-ond helping by the time the hist per son is served the first time the roast will pnJably by that time have got into the shapel"ss and refractory condi tion peculiar to roarfis, wh'ch will in ellne the carver to content himself with a little bread aud gravy or at lea.st to take the edges off the pangs of hunger with something of that sort, while he Is organizing a second assault on the roast for the benefit of the others."
