A GLIMPSE OF ITALY.
STRANGE WAYS OF DOING THINGS IN
THAT SUNNY LAND.
A Peculiar Cnnfam whin, Wonic
......................................
ncr»! Is a Strange and SturtUng
sight to a stranger.
An old adage says,^ \\ hen in Rome, do
*s the Romans do,” but it is a question
whether the average American tourist over
learns the customs of the Romans. Even
people who have lived in the Eternal City
fail to observe many of the traits and wavs
of the Romans in their daily life. An
Englishman who was an old resident of
Koine was put to shame by an American
schoolteacher of 22 who asked him if he
knew why they chopped so little wood in
Italy. He had taken upon himself the
office of general dispenser of information
among the guests, and, not being willing
to confess ignorance, he blurted out-
‘‘Ah, yes; I fawncy it must bo the want
of wood hand the smallness of tho hax.”
Rut the young woman—and she came
from New York city—explained to him
that the real reason was that they sawed
most of the wood. She showed the guests
how the Italians hold the saw between
their heels and knot's and draw tho log
across the teeth. These are littlo things,
but they go to make up a people’s person-
ality and are curious facts for foreigners
When one vehielo passes another in
Italy, the driver keeps to the loft. The
pedestrians act in tho same way. Some
foreigners go through Italy from Naples to
Milan and at the end wonder why it was
that the Italians persisted in getting into
their way
The native Roman eats two meals a day,
one, tlio colazione, or breakfast, at noon;
tho othor, the pranzo, or dinner, from 7
to 9 in tho evening. Black coffee is a fa¬
vorite drink among the women at the
cafes, but tea is seldom used. It costs usu¬
ally 10 cents a cup. Italian bread is made
without salt, which is under a heavy tax
and is classed with tobacco and stamps.
Wherever one is sold there also you may
purchase for the other two commodities.
As the owners of bicycles, they have
a hard timo. Each rider must take out a
license for himself. lie can ride no other
wheel but his own and should ho permit
hia brothor to uso his wheel without a li-
censo tho authorities would seize and re¬
tain the machine until a heavy fine was
paid.
Another peculiar custom is the way in
which an Italian will beckon with hia
hand. In America people wavo the hand
toward them when they desire a person’s
approach. In Italy it is just the opposite.
When an Italian waves a goodby to you
with hia hand, you imagine lie is calling
you back, and if he wants you to approach
ho motions with his hand as Americans
do in making a gesture of repulsion.
In New York there are morning and
evening papers with a liberal outflow of
extras between. In Italy the papers reach
the public about 9 o’clock at night.
About every school door when classes
for the day have been finished you will see
a gathering of men and women. These
are the parents, who come to carry home
the books of their children.
When the family wash is ready, the
mother carries the basketful of clothes on
her head to tho public washhouse, ready
for action. Every one loves the queen.
She is very devout and every now and then
steals from her palace dressed in plain
black and mingles with tho worshipers in
tho churches. As for the king—well, that
is another story.
Bnnnrms and peanuts nro never seen in
Italy. As for hand organs and the festive
monkey, they are seldom seen in the city
streets. A peasant from the mountains
bringing in vegetables to sell to the city
folks must pay a tax at the gate before he
can enter tho walls. At the first sign of
snow Roman’school boys have u holiday.
There are a gfeat many suicides in
Romo, and tho favorite way is to throw
oneself ovor the Pincian wall or to go to
the Suicide bridge out on the Alban hills
and leap from it on to the rocks 800 feet
below. And when a person has thus end¬
ed his life the natives think it proper to
cut a small cross on the spot whore he or
she plunged to death. As many as 11
crosses have boon counted in as many feet,
and the bridge is rather long.
To refuse a pinch of snuff is a gi'ievous
insult. To walk in the sunlight is to class
yourself with dogs and barbarians. To
enter a shop and to walk out without mak¬
ing a purchase is to call down upon your
head the wrath of an Italian tongue,
whose superlative curses would make a
New Y’ork truckman green with envy.
The reason of this is that the windows of
the store contain everything in stock with
marked prices, and the shopkeeper hates
to talk unless there is a sale in prospect at
the cud. Ho may have done nothing but
sit and doze for an hour beforo you enter,
and be may do nothing else after you
leave, but should you fail to buy he con¬
siders himself the most abused man in the
city, whose time is lost upon fools in gen¬
eral.
It Js not always the native guide that is
the best. One day at tho Church of fct.
Peter in Rome a party of American school-
boys were watching the crowds come and
go when a swarthy faced man approached
and asked in the purest Italian if they
wished a guide. On the spur of the mo¬
ment one of them answered him in Greek.
Tho fellow gave them a keen look; then,
with a broad grin and a still broader
brogue, said: me?
“Arrab! Now, phwat are ye givln
Sure, an I know ye are Americans, an it’s
mesel’ that’s Pat Bannigan.” And that
man could tell you more about Rome in
five minutes than a native could in a
month.
One grows careless in traveling, and
tnany things slip the memory, but there is
one thing that it takes months to get ac¬
customed to—a Roman funeral. Of all
sights a burial procession in Italy is the
strangest. It startles a man to turn a cor¬
ner and to come suddenly into a gloomy
street where the yellow glare of funeral
torches throws grotesque shadows along
the house walls. There is a quick glitter
of censers, a low wail from the mourners,
a measured tread of white robed, chanting
priests, a smell of incense hanging in the
hot air, and behind it all rises a great high
object in black, and along its top lies the
coffin. Flowers are piled around the dead,
and following the hearse is a crowd of
mourners, jostling one another as they
meet in the narrow passageways. It- is a
sight that is apt to come to a man in his
sleep, and the dreams pleasant.—New that follow it_ York are

An Old French Cuetom.
Before the revolution in France it was
customary when a gentleman was invited
to dinner for him to send his servant with
his knife, fork and spoon, or if he bad no
servant he carried them with him in n.s

She was a little, delicate, modest worn*
an to v bou the world did nothing in
particular until it treated her badly. And
c * /‘.ippened when she had a grown up
ward earning tnoncv that was needed. ’
Thej it was that slu* thought of writing
a book. A friend who had dropped in oue
evening told a story of an acquaintance
who had written a book in middle age
and made a great deal of money. Then
Nh>. AbEej remembered that when she
wa s a before her marriage, she had
wr . tti tv bttle
* n J° stories and sent them to
a provincial paper. They had been accept-
od and paid fur.
8,1 hi to her husband, ‘‘I wonder If I
coldd write a book?”
He did not answer, for he thought she
was not in earnest. Rut Mrs. Abbey
thought of it constantly, until ideas began
to crowd her brain. She said to herself:
1 do believe I could write a book. There
is ?? han " 1n trying.”
She got a packet of clumsy foolscap pa-
P cr ’ and one n ^br, when all the house-
hoId F as a8,ee P> sh « ljt a lam P aild bt> « an
to vvidte - And the words came fluently,
v ery fluently. Her daughter Gwendolyn
awok< ‘- and * the hght, came to find
out what her niother wafi doing, for these
tw " women shared every hope and care,
“Mother,” she cried, seeing the pile of
P a por, ‘ what are you doing? Oh, mother,
1 do believe you are writing a book. ”
At brst Mrs ‘ Abbe y denied it from the
aaiJ 'o impulse that had made her put her
band quickly over the writing when her
daughter came in. But after a time she
c ? nf ?^ d that it was so, and timidly read
aloud tho first chapter, which sho had just
^ n ' sbe d.
“Oh, mother, it is beautiful,” cried
Gwendolyn.
“Shall I go on with it, then?”
“Yes, yes, go on with it. It’s splendid.
I’m sure it will sell. Do go on with it.”
So she went on with it. And when sev¬
eral chapters had been written she said
timidly to her husband and sons, who
were home for tho holidays: “I—I thought
I might bo able to write a story. I have
put down a few ideas here, and I’d like to
know if you think it worth going on
with. ”
“I’ve read it,” said Gwen, “and it’s so
good.”
Mr. Abbey took the closely written
pages of MS. and road them aloud.
“It is fine! It, is beautiful!” they cried.
And it was beautiful. It was very beauti-
ful
She went on writing. It was to bo a
real book—a great book, as long as one of
Scott’s or Dickens’—and, though her pen
was so fluent, the writing took a long
time. Besides, she had other work to do—
household duties to tire her out during
the day, and sometimes her head ached
when evening came—but as soon as she
took up the pen her cheeks grew flushed
and her mind grew warm with hope. She
lost sight of the bare surroundings and
lived in tho atmosphere which falls like a
shimmering mist from heaven upon those
who commit their souls to paper and write
with their life’s blood. She was network¬
ing for fame or glory or celebrity. She
had no worldly ambition, but she worked
for husband and children, for bread, for
lifo itself.
Every Sunday Mr. Abbey read aloud the
chapters that had been written during the
week, ‘J and they all cried, “It is beauti¬
ful!’ The crush had left them sufficient
money to live on for about 18 months.
By that time the book would be finished,
and the book must needs be a success, be¬
cause it was written with all the best of a
woman's soul. They were shy of men¬
tioning it to outsiders, but Mr. Abbey
read part of it to a few intimate friends,
and they admired it.
“I am glad of that,” said Mr. Abbey In
confidence to his daughter, “because I
rather mistrusted my own judgment,
though the book seems to me very beauti¬
ful, but Mrs. Murray admired it immense¬
ly.” “And she ought to be a judge,”
said Gwen, “because she’s a cousin of
that Mr. Johnson, the journalist, and must
know a lot of literary people.” The book
took nearly IS months to write, and by
that time the money was all used up. The
last chapter had been finished and “the
end” written with a flourish. The manu¬
script was large and bulky and very close¬
ly written They packed it up in brown
paper and sent it off to a literary agent, aa
Mrs. Murray had advised them to do. As
Mrs. Abbey handed it over the postoffioe
counter she felt as though it was her heart
that she was sending forth made up into a
brown paper parcel, sealed and registered
and labeled “MS.” only. About three
weeks later the postman brought the letter
for which they had been watching. The
literary agent wished to see Mrs. Abbey
the following day if she would come to
his offices. He said nothing about the
book, but there was an undeflnable fra¬
grance of kindness about the businesslike
litt-lo note, or so at least it seemed to them.
Next day Mrs. Abbey started off with
Gwen, both their hearts beating. They
went in their best dresses. Mr. Linley was
awaiting them. When he heard them com¬
ing up the stairs, lie began to wish him¬
self 100 miles off. He had given the death¬
blow to many hopes in the course of his
life m r he winced somewhat all the same.
Pt. A,ps he hni the faculty of reading be¬
tween the linos.
And Gwen and her mother sat quietly
without, a word, while he broke to Mrs.
Abbey as gently as he could the truth—
that her great, bulky story hid a beautiful
soul in a body hopelessly unlovely. It
would be useless to offer it to any publish¬
er, and even if anybody would take it it
would never sell.
“I—aiu—sorry,” said Mrs. Abbey, with
dry lips. Gwen could not speak or look
up. *Mr winced. Then he told her
Linlev
tbat he could put her in the way of doing
another kind of literary work, where her
fluency would be useful and where beau-
tiful thoughts were not needed. Wouldshe
come baek to see him this day week?
Gwen and her mother walked away. They
got into a dingy omnibus to save their
best dresses from being spoiled by the
rain. They were quite silent for a long
time.

FARMERS BREEDING HORSES
Good Carriage Horses In Demand In Spite
of Trolleys.
It requires good judgment and some
little experience to breed salable horses
in this age of invention and electricity,
vrit *° E - P Smith inthe
tivator. There will always exist a de-
n]and ... for horses, spite of . all ,, that ,
in is
said abont bicycles, trolley cars and
horseless vehicles, but the horses must
be foi a particular purpose, aud the
only successful breeder will be the man
who will breed fur sotiiG e e p citil use and
study the conditions of the business
thoroughly. By reason ol bis surround¬
ings the farmer should be able to do
his work more satisfactorily than most
others.
In the first place tbere is a steady de-
maud for good driving horses and good
coach horses. These must both be high
class horses and not scrubs. A light
driving horse that has go and mettle to
it and yet does not rt:n away at every
chance it gets is a kind of animal in
considerable demand. Good teams of
driving horses that are matched in col¬
or, size and mettle are particularly de¬
sirable, and there are men scouring the
country for just such teams. For the
right kind of teams good prices can be
obtained today. In fact, high class
horses have held up very well in price
in the face of recent depression in the
horse market. It is the scrub and in¬
ferior horses that have gone begging.
When horse cars traversed our cities,
there was a pretty good market for
these second class animals, but now
that the cars have gone the horses are
a drug in the market.
Good solid coach horses, capable of a
steady and moderate speed, stylish look¬
ing and of a perfect match, probably
stand second in demand just now.
Many people are not going to give up
their coaches for the bicycle or horse¬
less carriage, and so long as they enjoy
driving in their private coach horses of
this character will be in demand. A
cross between the French coach and
American trotting breeds generally pro¬
duces animals best adapted to this trade.
One need have little fear of not finding
purchases for all first class coach horses
and at prices that are remunerative to
the breeder. The market in the last five
years has been weeded out pretty well
of old scrubs, and it is in better condi¬
tion today as a result.
Finally, we have farm and heavy
draft horses. Thousands of farm horses
are needed in this country, and probably
twice as many more draft horses for
trucking and express business in large
cities. These horses must be heavy,
powerful, enduring and the possessors of
some mettle—that is, sufficient to give
them a fair gait. A slow horse has lit¬
tle usefulness. On the other hand, trot¬
ters are not wanted for these purposes.
Horses that have some of the blood of
the trotter in them and some of the
Percheron and Clydesdale will probably
give the most satisfactory results for
this business.
Water and Salt For Sheep.
Generally, clear running water is the
best for the flock, for the complete ex¬
posure of it to the air tends to the de¬
composition and the neutralising of the
suspended organic matter in it. There
is nothing the matter with the water
of a clear, swift flowing brook in
which the speckled trout will live. The
water drank is absorbed directly into
the blood. Of course it cannot help but
take into the blood with it all the im¬
purities that are dissolved in it and
very many of those not dissolved, but
suspended in it, on account of their ex¬
ceedingly small bulk. Consequently the
water must be pure or it becomes a
source of infection and produces disease.
Water from sandstone or slate rock is
generally pure and may be used with
safety. Where a salt marsh exists or
some natural salt lick, used by deer and
buffalo when these animals covered the
plains, there the water is not only good
for drink, but has an excellent effeot
otherwise in preserving the general
health of the flock. If foc-d is that
which supports the life of an animal
and increases growth and weight, then
water must be food and its condition is
to be thought of precisely as we think
of the solid food. We think very much
of the quality of the solid food, but
mostly anything is drink which is wa¬
ter, whatever its condition may be.
This is a mistake that should be cor¬
rected at once. It is also true that well
water may be equally injnriona Wa¬
ter from limestone, especially if mag-
nesia is mixed with it, produces vari¬
ous troublesome diseases, one of which
is exceedingly common. This is that
swelling of the glands of the throat
which is known as goiter. The soft,

magnesia. As the water is of such great
importance it will pay to go to some
trouble to purify it if there is any ques¬
tion of its character. To expose water
to the air has a purifying effect on it

water is charged with organio matter
it may be filtered through sand in any
convenient way and will thus be made

Gra«s Fattened Beef.
So economical of grain were the farm-
ers of olden times that it was reckoned
quite an advantage to fatten cattle on
| pasture. The idea evidently was that
j nothmg, and if Produejef not used meet cure, be wasted. eoetiug
i Gram of all kinds costs labor to grow
and harvest it, and if not fed it could
be turned into money. So far as econo-
my goes, we believe the practice of
grain feeding for beef is best. But the
G ld grass fed beef was always tender,
grain fed beef was not, especially ^

THANKSGIVING.
Thursday Nov. 24, Set Apart by
President McKinley as a Day
of Thanksgiving and Praise.
Washington Nov 2.—The Pres¬
ident, after the cabinet meeting is¬
sued the following Thanksgiving
proclamation :
By the President of the United
States:
A PROCLAMATION.
The approaching November
brings to mind the customs of our
ancestors, hallowed by time and
rooted in our most sacred traditions,
of giving thanks to Almighty God
for all the blessings he has vouch¬
safed to us during the year.
Few years in our history afford
such cause for thanksgiving as this.
We have been blessed by abundant
harvests, our trade and commerce
has been wonderfully, increased
our public credit has been improved
and strengthened, all sections of
our common country have been
brought together and knitted into
closer bonds of national purpose
and unity.
The skies have been for a time
darkened by the cloud of war, but
as we were compelled to take up
the sword in the cause of humanity,
we are permitted to rejoice that the
conflict has been of brief duration,
and the losses we have had to mourn,
though grevious and important,
have been so few considering the
great results accomplished, as to
inspire us with gratitude and praise
to the Lord of Hosts. We may
laud and magnify His holy name
that the cessation of hostilities
came so soon as to spare both sides
the counties sorrows and d'sasters
that attend protracted war.
I do, therefore invite my fellow
citizens, as well those at home as
those who may be at sea or sojourn¬
ing in foreign lands, to set apart
and observe Thursday, the 24th day
of November, as a day of national
thanksg'vlng, to come together in
their several places of worship for
a service of praise and thanks to
Almighty God for all the blessings
of the year, for the mildness of the
seasons and for the fruitfulness of
the soil, for the continued prosper-
ity of the people, for the devotion
of our countrymen, for the glory of
our victory and a hope of a righte¬
ous peace, and to pray that the
divine guidance which has brought
us heretofore to safety and honor
may graciously continue in the
years to come.
In witness whereof, etc.
William McKinley.

retary of State.
