Italy' Miserable Condltlarn. One cannot conceive of human beings living In worse condition than many of the people of Italy. Each rear In that country 100,000 person go

mad with hungar, wJiile thousands die of actual starvation. Other hundreds

of thousands are hair demented owius to lack of sustaining food.

"Bread of day and acorns" is trie

snstainment of many and this, reptfalve diet is thus obtained :

The (housewives feather red clay ana

boil it. In the thick broth ot eiay ney

throw chopped acorns until the water is all absorbed and there remains a dense black mass, which they set to rise, and afterward lay in flat pieces to dry. When dry It is ready to serve at

table.

Bread thus preiwred is usually abun

dant, except in years when acorns are

scarce. Then the pigs compete wltn

the people; a competition all the more danserous because the pigs gluttons

that they are eat the acorns but not

the clay.

It is small wonder that there were

bread riots in Italy, and it will lie a big wonder if there will not be a revo

Western Canada In July, 1894, write j as follows: "I brought here thirty-four head of cattle, fifteen horses, two wagons, .two sets of harness and one hundred and fir ty dollars In cash. I bomesteaded the southeast quarter of section 28, town--ship 40, range 26, west of the fourth meridian, also purchased a quarter section, of Canadian Pacific Railway land. I have been farming more or less nearly all my life and I am convinced that you can raise crops 40 per cent cheaper here than where I came from. My capital at present, counting everything, is about five thousand dollars. The yield of my grain all round in 1897 was 60 bushels

per acre. This year uausi yield or wheat per acre 37 bushels, oats 50

bushels, barley 35 and potatoes 400 per acre. I consider this is a much better country for a man than where I came from, provided he Is industrious. You pet a free homestead here and Canadian

"The first thing," she cried, "I will

drive to RcdrutJi and get what 1 want. Before the sun sets we shall see who wins!" She never thought of going to sleep; her brain was too excited, her heart too much agitated. Sleep while she lhed that bated, loathed woman! Her purpose gained strength every hour. No need to enter into its terrible details no need lo darken a memory that

was nerer too fair. When the win rose she had reeained her outward calm, she

was herself again: stern, -old and proud. She was the first to descerd to the breakfast room. The morning was beautiful, ns some of the darkest days in life often are serene and bright, the skies blue, the air fragrant, the birds sieging, bees and butterflies hovering round the sweetest blossoms, n morning that reminds one of Paradise. Lord Vivian had not yet left his room. Beatrice went tn the window, opened it. stretched out her hand idly and gathered one of the large white roses that rump peeping in. She stood idly watching

the skv. the trees, the flowers, and no

warning came to her of what thnt bright, snnnv morning might hriac forth; there

was no cloud in the sky, no dirge m tne sweet, iovous music of nature, no knell

in the clad song of the ha ;ipy birds.

And no remcrse cunie to lier either. Mic

With s rry that resembled no human

He went up 'o her. but for the first time

her lins were mute when he called hei

"Is there no hopeV he asked. "None," was the grave reply. "Hei ladyship has sus-taincd two injuries, eilhei of which would be fatal, lier spine is tor ribly injured, and there is concussion ol the brain. It is merely a matter of a few minutes: hut she will never know ymi again. She may continue in this siate onr hour or two - no longer; nor can we rcnrlei any assistance by remaining." His distress was terrible to witness. Hf knelt down by her side, and took thf white, helpless hands in his. It was not that he loved her so dearly; but the num ner. the suddenness of her death bewildered him. He had been so happy a few minutes since, because Rupert was better and now he stood by his wife's deathbed The shock seemed too much for him.

One by one the servants came, all anxious to render some assistance, but he waved them away. Nothing could be done foi the doomed lady Whose life was so neurlj over. "Will she not know me? Will she never be able to speak to me again?" be cried; nnd the reply was, "Never in this world never again." Some one he never knew who it wai -

To the American niiud there is noth

In the day-i when Tabor was at the summit of hia ;owor and Influence, read the stories of the latter's prodigality and yearned for a modicum of what the senatorial plunger was throwing nwny. Now the tables have turned. The
