This exception is the more sur- (prirIeing because male Italians de- vote themselves largely to the class of work which most nearly corres- ponds to domestic service among wo- n en. There are Italian waiters, Italian valets and Italian porters, miot to speak of Italian pedlers, boot- blacks, barbers and groeerymen ; but there are no Italian servant girls, Tile dearthof these is the more varprising because Italy is one of the countries in Europe in which the zen tuber of female births greatLy ex- oeds the number of male births and Italian girls, usually precocious, do not lack training in their own coun- try as to the requirements of house- hold service, 'to which they devote themselves almost exclusively, there being few co-eds and still fewer pro- fessional worsen in Italy. For many years the explanatifon of this anomaly was to be found in that tact that a large proportion of the immigration from Italy was male, but in recent years this disparity has not continued. Italian girls am not lacking in the attributes re- quired for efficient household ser- vice. They are quick, industrious and frugal ; they do not drink ; they have no top -lofty social notions; there is little domed for their ser- vices in such professional occupa- tions as typewriting, bookkeeping and stenography. The fact is that the girls inplined to domestic du- ties marry. They do not become servants. in Going to New York De sure that your tickets read via, Grand Trunk and Lehigh Valley 'route of the "Bieck Diamond Ex- press."

Adams, rec- tor of "The Citureh of Holy Spirit," Roundont-on-t he -Hudson. "Speak erreely to the child to whom ' you have been habitually kind, and see t:ow sur•prieal and grieved and creeleallen it will look." "Speak in the same way to a dog wh4ch you have habitually treat- ed kindly, and notice how eurprieed and grieved and crestfallen it will look. It will look into your face to see that you axe not pretending, and then go away heart -broken." "In every particular tee expres- sions of the dog will be similar to those of the child, excepting teat the child will weep. But the keeper will tell you that the mother mon- key weeps upon the death of her eh�ild." "Bayard Taylor tells of a favor- ite horse, old Jahn by name. He was In the habit of talking to this old horse itis ne wouid have talked to a man. He was driving along a country highway one hot summer day when John gave evidence of distress. 'What's the matter, John ?' he asked kindly. John stopped and held up one of his front feet. Mr. Taylor step- ped to the ground, examined the foot, and found that the shoe was loose, and that a pefbble had got between it and the hoof. With a pat and a and a word of esteem, Mr. Taylor removed the pebble and drove John to a black inith's Thop, where the shorn was tightened." "There dee stories without num- ber of doge coming and placing a foot in a lav to have a ,splinter extracted. In tine interest of a. mas- tgi'laoR' a child in trouble the dog will plead with you to accompany him, by whining, plucking your clothes, running ahead. The house is on fire and the master is In danger. The clog hullo at the bedclothes, barks in his anxiety, gently nips his hand. The master is awakened and saved." • Minarcl's Liniment for sale every- where. Gross Carelessness. Miss Ellicott—Why did you dis- charge your ,chauffeur ?

Paper in Japan. In no other country Is paper used for so Many different purposes as in Japan. Since the discovery of the art oI making paper by the Egyptians, thousands of years ago, it has been used for writing ma- terial, but some of its other most important uses have come to light within tee last century. Now we make many things of paper, in- cluding heavy rails, and car wheels and dishes. Nearly every civilized government has a corps of engin- eers investigating the possibility of balloons in time of war ; but hun- dreds of years ago the Japanese sent up Iarge paper kites, to which were suspended human spies, who thus could look into and study walled, but roofless fortifications. —From "Japanese Paper Work- ers," by Jason Trench, in Four - Track News for October.

WOE FOR TRAMPS In the West the Gentry are Made to Earn a Living. 1 (Leslie's Monthly.) a ' The moment that winter breaks— and save in the high altitudes, win- ter west of tate Mississippi is a mild and comfortable thing in com- p,arisorr with our eastern weather— the police of et. Joseph', Kansas City, Denver, in fact of all the towns and cities, wage relentless war on vag- rants. The wide rolling prairies, the railroads, the =ills are all insatiable lit their demand for unskilled labor. Crops rot in Lhe fields for lack of harvesters„ trills are idle for lack of men, to drive the heavily laden. wag - ors to their doors. Tee idle will not work so long as they can beg or steal. In the west they have lit- tle chance foe either. On an average fifty men a week are arrested in Kansas City during the moats of June, July and Aug- ust. The police wisely refuse to bur- den the city with their support, and instead give these igen the. alterna- native of going to work honestly, and for high wages, or breaking stone for the improvement of. the abomin- able western roads. Time choice near- ly always is for the better ps,yin.g Tabor. Great wlalote is shower in the distribution, of these men. Only one or two of a gang are sent to any one calm.

The use of the corset is to transmit tine pressure of the skirt bands to the hips anti the ribs, and so to protect from their pressure the organs In. the region of the waist. The conclusion Le, that Be 10r g as skirt bands are fastened round the waist, corsets should be worn. They should be stiffer than usually made if they are effectively to protect the soft, mid- dle portion of the body from the pres- sure of the waistband. The front should be quite straight, and the waist mcasutsoment sho'ule be et least a,s large es the wearer's waist, mea- euror] over a single, soft garment. Teo abuse of the article consists In employing it as a means of compress- ing that which it was Meant to pro - toot from compressing, namely, the soft, middle portion of the body. Fashion in Corsets has of late made a motion in the right direction, in the stralght, Miff front. --Medical Press and Circule,r.
