[fashionable season in Italy, says gl Villar do "Italian Life In Town 'and Country," is from Clristmas to Kastor, the time generally known as the carnival At Naples, Messina and some other places there is also a sum fer season. Commenting on the pe- euliarities of life among the upper classes, Mr. Villari says: "Italians, even in the grandest estab- lishmeuts, do not wear evening dress for dinner unless there is a party. A black coat is enough for ordinary pur- poses. A few men who wish to be par. ticularly fashionable wear a smoking coat with a black tle, which garment is sufficient for all save very large din ner parties and bal On the other hand, there are occasions when a man dons his dress clothes by day. It is de rigueur at court functions, wsoraiugs, and at weddings, Ladies 'wear hats at the theaters except on gala nights. They display more jew elry by day than Eng ladies. The Italian aristocracy have magnificent Jewels, and even in quite small wns, where there is no great wealth, the old families can make a fine display. The tall hat is only necessary at r even in arriages, funerals and at court. Young men of | fashion wear It also when paying calls during the season. Among the bour geoisie evening clothes are hardly ever worn at all." CRUSHING A BORE. The Authority on Natural History Tht Sydney § Sydney Smith jokes have a delicate h Quoted flavor of age, but an anecdote in "Mem- | ories of Half a Century" has not been told so often as some of the classic | tales.

The naturalist got his opening. "Mr, Archdeacon," said he, ""have you seen tlic pamphlet written by my friend, Professor Dickenson, on the re- markable size of the eye in a common | house fly?"

The bore pursued his advan- tage: "I can assure you it is a most inter esting pamphlet, setting forth particu lars hitherto unobserved as to the nnu Bual size of that eye."

"May I ask on what aythorit) demn the investigations of my most learned friend?" "1 deny the fact," replied Smith, "and 1 base my denial on evidence wedded to immortal verse well known to every scholar at least at this table!" The emphasis laid on scholar nettled the naturalist by its implication. "Well, gir," he said, "will you have the kind ness to quote y authority 7" "I will, sir.

The keeping of canaries seems to be a fairly expensive luxury. To start with, a veally good bird will cost $50. You can easily spend more, but $50 will buy a fairly good Norwich bred bird. The food the bird requires con- sists of various delicacies in the form of rye, bread, rice, meal and vegeta- bles. Canaries are liable to all sorts of uilments, and this, of course, neces sitates further expense, for the treat- | ment of these complaints is anything | but cheap. Of course, no fancier of canaries would be content with one bird; he must have at least a dozen, | and the cost of some of these will cer- | tainly run to $75. Fifteen hundred dollars per annum could easily be spent | in this manner without a very big show for the mon London Tatler, On a Shelf, asked little three-year-old Margie, "do people go to heaven when they die?"

The Christian Name. The term "Christian name is used in England and America only. "Bap- | tismal name" is used in other countries. The term seems to have been used first after the reformation, when Bib- lical names were used as a reaction | against the use of the saints' names in the calendar. It Is evident that all Biblical names are not Christian, but {he reaction went so far as to consider everything in the Bible as Christian and everything not in the Bible as pagan or certainly non Christian. A Rongh Criticism, + Lord Hoaghton's epigram on "Sor- dello," probably the most obscure of Browning's poems, though it has often gone the rounds, is worth recalling.
