Why Peter Walked The Sea. “How much for the trip?’ asked a tourist in Palestine of a boatman who had taken him to several points of inter- est on the Sea of Gallilee. “Ten shekels, sir.” “What 1" exclaimed the traveler ; “10 shekels? Why that’s an out- rageous price |” “Can’t help it sir. That’s whav folks have paid ever since the sea was here.” “Well,” growled the voyager, as he handed over the money, “I don’t {wonder that old Peter tried to walk it.” Cannery. Last season Mr. J. J. Cory started a small canning industry here, whortle berries being the principal article put up by him. He has tested them thor- oughly and finds that they have kept in excellent condition. Several of our people are using the berries put up by Mr. Cory and all pronounce {them the bes. He sent the REFLECTOR some ‘to try, and they are all right. We hope he will increase his plant and do a regular canning businesg this seascn. Don’t All Speak at Once. When the bell to one of the new phones rang to-day for the first time, the housekeeper, the cook, the nurse, the gardner and six children all gathered around at once.

(From our Special Correspondent.) Napres, Ir‘ary, June 3rd, 1896. ‘The Augean stables were doubtless bad-enough, but. what would a nice - New E ngland or a Duteh housekeeper. “kecper say of Naples? This city stands pre-eminent in the bacteria and mi crobe manutacturing industries. "This js tot teanc to be derogatory to Naples at-all, for the interest’, of the plage is largely referable to the pictur- esque dirt. Thejtrue Neapolitan face is not char acterized so much by black eyes and rosy lips a3 by dirt.and one al- ways thinks when looking at the chil- dren of Charles Lamb’s remark, “Tf dirt were trumps what hands they would hold.” In rainy veather the streets are covered with a thin black batter of mud and the carefully dressed Ameri- can and the daily “‘tubbed” Englishman find themselves after a few hour’s sight secing reduced to the real Neapolitan state. The streets here are painfully narrow in fact just wide enough tu allow. car- riages to pass. On the numerous holi- days two long processions of carriages block the business streets from end to end, and the man who has not yet been so influenced by the climate as not to care whether he reaches the bank today or next week, finds this slow movihg procession a sore trial to his patience. The side walks, are even worse, principal shopping street they are about “two feet wide. At one point iu this @street we saw a man the other day who forse ont led a goat out of a gate y opening on the pavement, and quietly ” sat down to milk her. The pedestrians _respected his energy and the entire mass moved off the sidewalk 60 as not to dis- turb him. The Italians are a good natured people. The beggars are innumerable. They conduct business everywhere and there seems to be between them and the gee- darmes, who are almost as plentitul, a! , kind of understanding that one will not] disturb the other. There is a magnifi- cent arcade in the city called the Galle- _ tia Vittorio Emmanuel, but the pleas- ure of'a walk through it is spoiled by . the little beggars who turn, handsprings’ and somersaults in fr nt of You through the entire place in hope of w-benn “A lit ose sagen a business of 1 sind a ) Galleri and reaps large rewards, cecper 1 tort te for doing it so weg A math. smoking is fol- $3.00 | teachers very On the | | to see, Man f ‘flights of stairs an ee that land slides in the city are < cum- mon oceurrence. Of course houses can- ‘not go ou. these inclines so the whole | domestic economy of the families is ex- hibited in the street. They live almost altogether out of doors.and, it is no nn- and dressed and other domestic scenes of a more or less delicate character en- acted in the open air, But all of these things do not interfere with the charm of these picturesque, tortuous streets and alleys. In fact they constitute its charin and the scene that in Americx would make you hasten for a policeman forms here the subject of your snap shot. It ig something in the setting of the® ficture—the tall pink and yellow houses with their dirty windows and broken walls, the blue, blue sky over- head, the black streets below; in the distance across the. brilliant bay Vesu- | vius smoking his daily pipe—all these are the cause and though you talk loud- ly about the advantage of American | thrift and progressiveness you long to linger here where “mere passive exis- tence is itselta Lethe.” The schools, so far as I can learn, are very good. Attendance is com- pulsory and the normal instruction for careful. In all the grades English, German and French are taught. The fact that the people have enjoyed freedom and good schools for less than one generation is apparent in the superior intelligence of - the younger members of the households The older persons speak a soft, ab- breviated Italian and one always thinks of them asa people whos? energy has been expended for euphony ; but the children show a quickness of perception and an.intelligence that 1s surprising. Many,ot the people »re _complaining ‘that the public schouls are, undermining | not only parental but church authority, which is probably quite true, and will be the cause in a few generations of bet- ter days for Italy. And speaking of the churches, I have seen nothing in Italy that so well characterizes the weakening of the ultramontane view as a performance at a cafe chantant a few nights since, when a Franciscan monk was cariéatured in the drollest and most irreverent manner, while the au- dience applauded and encored agin and again.

In what J have seen of English | home life it has seemed to me that the English father is on terms of a closer acquaintanceship with his | daughter than is the American father. This may be due to the fact that the American father is much more occupied with his business, and also to tho additional fact that the American daughter bas more of self reliance in her disposition, which renders her to acertain ex- tent more independent and capable of looking after her own interests, In acertain sense, especially as re- yards monetary and matrimonial matters, it might bo said that the her to act for herself. Those whe have made a study of the American girl can have little doubt that this independence is good for her in both a mental and mcral sense, though it does not follow that the same course of treatment would be good for the English girl.—Philadelphta Times.

Western lovers of that beautiful sport, hunting wild game birds, must be well satisfied with the vigilance of the Iinois game warden, Mr. Blow, ‘lar positions in adjacent states. En- ergetic as their efforts are, however, it is to be feared they come too late to save the prairie chickens (pinnated vrouse.) No measures, it is certain, ean ever make them as plentiful on our orairies as they were a quarter of a century ago.
