MEDITERRANEAN HOUSE RENTS.

Highest at Gibraltar and Lowest on the Island of Malta. In no place on the surface of the globe is rent so high as at Gibraltar, the reason being, says the Philadelphia Inquirer; that the geographical position of the town precludes the possibility of its being extended in any direction. A long, narrow strip of what was once sea beaeh is alone available for building purposes. All thle rest is precipitous rock. 'J 1 . Upon this narrow parapet, in some cases less than 100 yards in width, are crowded the homes of 25,000 people. As much as-ten dollars a week is asked and obtained for the use of one small room, and this, too, in a place where the normal rate of wages is quite ten per cent, less than in America. Naturally. the overcrowding - is fearful, and, the water supply being scarce and intermittent. cleanliness of living, as we understand it, is almost impossible. No wonder that in the old days the plague and the cholera ravaged the “rock” with a virulence unknown in the filthy and pestilential cities of the far east. In Malta, on the other hand, house rent is ridiculously’ cheap. Anywhere outside of Valetta an excellent sevenroom house can be had for sls a year, while rates and taxes are unknown. The houses are built entirely’ of the cream-colored stone of which the island is composed, and which is so soft that it can be cut with a saw into blocks or slabs of any desired size or shape. So, while the Maltese builder is digging up his foundation, he is at the same time getting out the material for his walls, his flooring and his roof.

WORKED AN OLD TRICK.

The Deaf and Dumb Man Had to Speak. “In my time,” said a broker to his friends at Delmonico’s the other day, according to the New York Times, “I have observed many sad and touching scenes, but never one which affected me as much as the one I witnessed last week. “Passing along a busy thoroughfare, I paused for an instant in order to read and reflect upon the miseries of a man who bore the legend ‘Deaf and Dumfb,’ picturing to myself my’ own condition under like circumstances, when the following remark somewhat startled me: “ ‘Say, J immie, here’s a poor deaf and dumb man. Father gave me five cents to spend, but I think I’d rather give jt to him. He needs it more than I do.’ “This was followed by the chink of a coin in the tin cup. “Instinctively I turned to the boy who had made this remark to his companion and said: “ ‘Noble boy, I overheard y’our generous words. You shall not want for the money. Here is a dime.’ “With a curtsey and ‘Thank you, sir,’ he fled. “I turned to the deaf and dumb man. The muscles of his face seemed to be working to a degree rarely seen on a man bereft of those important senses. Unable to contain himself longer, he blurted out: “ ‘Say, you’re dopey. That kid has worked that racket before. That fi-pence is made of lead I ’ “I went home and communed with myself.”

CUPID IN JAIL.

A Remlßiicence of u Sly Courtship Years Ako. “Cupid is no respecter of persons or places,” says a member of a well-known Washington family, according to the Star, “for while ‘love laughs at locksmiths,’ Cupid, to my knowledge, has made himself felt behind prison bars. Do you remember the old Washington infirmary, which stood behind the courthouse? Well, that was the jail in old times —from 1804 to 1838. In those days there was imprisonment for debt, and quite a handsome young man, unable to meet his obligations, became a prisoner. The jailer lived in part of the building, and his family included a pretty daughter. Cupid set to work, and the bars were no obstacle. In a little while looks betrayed Cupid’s conquest. One day, while on the street—debtors being allowed to go outside, but not beyond the prison bounds—they met, had a talk which ended in the -procurement of a marriage license, engagement of a minister and the marriage. They returned to the jail, and telling what they had done, the father gave the son-in-law a job as assistant jailer, thus enabling him to pay the debt, and when he died the son succeeded him.”

LAUNDRESS TOOK THE HINT.

Made a Buttonhole Larpe Enough for the Soldier’* Improvised Button. The private soldiers’ washing at a home station is usually done by the married soldiers’ wives, who are expected to sew on missing buttons and do general repairs. Patrick McGinnis, says the Troy Times, had a good deal of trouble with his laundress. Sundaj’ after Sundaj’ had his shirt come back with the collar button off or else hanging by a thread. He had spoken to her on the subject, and she had promised to see to it, but still the buttons were always ftiissing. One Sundaj’ he got out of patience when a missing button had made him late for church parade. “Bad luck to the woman!” Jie exclaimed. “Begorra, I’ll give het a hint this time, anyhow!’’ He then took the lid of a tin blacking box about three inches in diameter, drilled two holes in it with a fork and sewed it on the shirt, which he sent to be washed. When his washing came back he found hisdaffndress had taken the hint. She had made a buttonhole to fit it!

Infectious Maladies in Italy.

According to an eminent Italian hygienic expert, official medical returns show that in Italy 200,000 persons die everj' iyear from infectious—that is. from preventable—maladies, most of them being young, “the hope of fami lies.”

MONTHLY SUFFERING. *T*housaads of women are troubled at ’ " wPWK monthly intervals with pains in the head, —JvjM' back, breasts, shoulders,sides wlSggiy vp ' hips and limbs. < But they need W not suffer. These pains are symptoms of dangerous derangements that can be corrected. The menstrual function should operate painlessly. Win»ui makes menstruation painless, and regular. It puts the delicate menstrual organs in condition to do their work properly. And that stops all this pain. Why will any woman suffer month after month when Wine of Cardui will relieve her? It costs sr.po at the drug store. Why don’t you get a bottle to-day? For advice, in cases requiring special directions, address, giving symptoms, “The Ladies’ Advisory Department,” The Chattanooga Medicine Co., Chattanooga, Tenn. ..•••••••a*. Mrs. ROZENA LEWIS, of Oenavllle, Texas, oays: “ I was troubled at monthly Intervals with terrible pains In my head and back, but have been entirely relieved by Wino ot Cardui.’*
