Homs, Dea 10.~It is a great custom
in Italy, to spend the Sunday and holi
day afternoons at the cafes and osterie
in and about the city. The Italians are a
sociable race. They seek companionship
in their joys as well as their sorrows.
All go to the pnbllo cafes to be glad and
merry toegther. The well to do shop
keeper and his family, the workman in
his holiday olotbes, the laborer with
his snnbrowned skin and his toil hard-

their women laden with jewelry and

singing, joking, drinking. Perhaps a
singer or dancer of local famo 1b danc
ing to tho mnsio of a mandolin, danc
ing with all tho freedom and abandon
of the happy Italian nature.
And while all are enjoying an hour
of hilarious merriment, heightened by
nnmerous drafts of the red lined Italian
wino or the rich yellow Mareaha, a lit
tle dark eyed beggar maid, holding the
hand of a blind fiddler, may bo pooring
wistfully in, and with a little voioe, like
a moan of angnish, piping ont:

A Season ot Good Will-
Daring the annual festival that stirs
tho heart of all Christendom the shops
aro closod, and images of tho Virgin in
walks and niches and churches are
crowned and bedecked with masses and
gurlandaof flowers. Uniformed boys and
liveriod servants hurry abont tho streets
with presents and tributes of affection
in tho form of tho over wolcomo flowers.
Tho cafes are trimmed with palms,
green vines and blooming plants. At
oaoh guoat’s plate is a prettily docornt-
od card which serves as a gentle remind
er that tho offer of a lira or two would
not he taken amiss by the waiter who
has patiently served one through the
year.
Evon tho beggar forgets to poso in his
nsnnlly melancholy attitudo and smiles
in anticipation of a gencroas alms from
the happy throng.
Occasionally bands of mon called pif-
fsrari come down from tho mountains,
wander abont tho streets, and pausing be
fore images of tho Virgin, at Btreet cor
ners, under balconies, tboy play weird,
sweat strains of mnsio on their Arcadian
pipes or piffero. Their costume is odd and
picturosqne, consisting of a sngar loaf
hat, with red bands about it, bluo jacket,
goatskin brooches and sandals fixed to
tho feet with crossed leather thongs.
Tho sngar loaf hats servo os contribution
boxes for the pennies that aro freely
showered Into them. For nino days pre
vious to Christmas they wander abont
playing their onrions, ewcet melodics,
end singing a melanoholy tnne, which is
Intorruptod now and then by a chanted
hymn to the Virgin. This is called tho
"Novona."
Troubadour Maalo.
I remembor tho first and only time I
saw these fast disappearing relics of a
long line of troubadours. I was stroll
ing about one sunshiny Christmas morn
ing when my attention was arrestad by
tho sound of faint, melancholy music.
I found my way into tho narrow streot
whonoo it emanated and there behold
tho pifferari. Their music entranced
mo. I followod them from street to streot
and bouBO to honso and only loft thorn
at last from pure physical exhaustion.
After resting awhile I wont ont again
io find them and listen to tho mnsio,
tho strains of which still linger in my
memory, never to bo forgotten. But they
wero gone, and although I spent several
othor Christmases in Italy I never again
came across tho pifferari.
Thcro are sweetmeat stalls on almost
every corner. They consist of a counter
with steps lined with calico and fringed
in front and at the sides with bright red
cloth edged with tt strip.) ot gold. On tho
oo on tor and stops are all the toys and
sweets nooossary for a jolly Christmas.
There aro panglalli and panetone, yel
low breads with raisins in, substitutes
for plum pudding, nongat and torroni
and all the sweetmeats appropriate to
the season.
Well do I remember my first glimpso
of the Milanese Christmas dainty—
panetonn I was passing along a narrow
street when, is glancing into a dirty
oourtyard, I saw hundreds of the largo
round loaves placed on the ground to
rise, nothing between them and tho
stone paving except a thin board. Peo
ple were passing in and out, hucksters
and servants and dirty children, whilo
several cats were amiably sunning them
selves in a warm spot

Onooon a time thore was a goddess
called Streno, who was the patroness,of
youth, health and strength. There was
n temple dedicated to this goddess in
Home, and the gardens about the tem
ple were fillod with hygionio plants,
more especially the verbena, wbloh pos
sesses extraordinary health giving prop
erties. In every oourtyaTd and overy
garden in Home the verbena flourished.
Outside and insido, houses wero decornt-
od with it. On the first day ot the year
the priests of Strena’s templo wero wont
to distribute shoots and slips of this
highly prized little plant to tho people.
Young men at tonrnnments who wore
vlotorions over their opponents received
a verbena plant as a reward of valor.
Great ceremony attended tbo distribu
tion of the plant on New Year's day,
and all who reoeived it wero said to
have reoeived a strenna—Now Year's
gift.
As Romo advanced in civilization the
modost littlo stronnaof verbena beoamo
transformed into flowers, fruit and cakes
covered with gold leaf, toys, trinkets and
jewols. And thus originated tbo custom
of New Year’s gifts.

Occasionally in Italy today ono soes
on old castles or palaces largo horns at
eaoh side of the principal entrance.
Bulls' horns wero placed in tho halls
and at the doors of their houses for pass-

day—oIovob for young girls, cakes for
old people, birds and stuffod animals.
Schoolmasters in tho olden tlmo re
ceived no regular pay for thoir services,
but each pnpil was oxpcctod on the
first day of tho year to present tbom

Tbs Prcobrajlnskl regiment, wbloh
linos the days of Peter the Great has been
tho bcdyguurd of the emperor, In In con
sequence the crack regiment of the em
pire.
It is well known wbnt a stormy tlmo
preoeded tho acoeaslon of Peter tho Great
to the throne. Ho was persecuted from
his very lufanoy by his sister, Sophia, who
aoted as regent, and only escaped miracu
lously from death. The hired assassins
of his slstm- were shout to kill him on tho
altar of a Moscow ohuroh, wherehls moth
er had placed hiru, haring Hod thither
from tho Kremlin, when a number of
young noblemen anatehed him nway and
oarrled him to n plaoo of safety. Four
years later Siphln, fearing to have him
klllod outright, dcolded to try to end his
days In another way. She sent him to
Prcobrajlnskl, a village 60 or more rollca
from Moscow. Fifty young noblemen
wore sent as Ills companions, with tho
understanding that they woro to try to
debauch him ns muoh as possible. Sha
hoped in this way ho would become unfit
to roign. But slio was disappointed.
Fetor had taken with lilm an officer
named Lofort, a French adventurer who
had served In the Belgian army. Ieifort,
true to his military Instincts, formed a
regiment at I'reohrojlnski ami began to
train the hO companions of Peter to ho-
eomo Its olllcers. I’oter and his friends
soon became deeply Interested In the mili
tary exercises and gave up tho life which
Sophia had wlshod them to lead. Peter
studied hard and passed from grade to
grade just as his comrades, who becamo
extremely attached to him. When he de
cided to proclaim himself emperor Inter,
It was thoy—Hie Prcobrajlnskl corps—
which stood by him and enabled him to
do so. Sophia then sent her soldlors to
seize him, but tho Prcobrajlnskl.. repulsed
them, and the ambitious princess had to
renounce tho throne.
All tho oenrs since that day, mindful of
the fidelity of tho Prcobrajlnskl corps, hnvo
kept up the regiment and made It tholr
bodyguard. It has thus tho proudest tra
ditions In tho Russian army and has al
ways lived up to thorn.—New York Trib

An Old Time Fire Department,
In tho Inst century, when English cities
had no aystomntlo arrangements for put
ting out firos, tha city of Lisbon boasted
of u firo department which was tho ml-
i miration ot travelers. Tho water which
tho people of Lisbon used was brought
! and sold to them by watermen, who car
ried It on their backs in barrels. These
watermen woro divided Into words, each
member ot whom took command ot tho
rost in rotation.
Every man was obliged by tha c'tv oytU-
nances to carry his barrel homo full of wa
ter overy night, and In case of fire tho wn-
totman who had command wont around
routing out of bed oil his follows, who
then plotted op tholr water barrels and
ran to tho firo.
This sort of n firo department would
now bo. roganlod as extremely slow, but
the Lisbon houses wore nil built of stona
ot brlok and burned so slowly, if they took
firo at all, that tho barrel brigade really
had tlmo to assomblo beforo much harm
had been done.
An English sailor, who liapponod to sea
a firo in Lisbon, was dlsgutvod at tho very
flow progress that the conflagration insdo.
“A fig for suoh a flrtil" ho exclaimed.
"Thoro’s no spirit in this country. Why,
in England wo should havo find n dozen
