PREDICTS TRIUMPH. \;HAT miSPI, THE STATESVIAN.SAYS OF THE AMERICAN IDEA. Character of tlia Stan ami How Ho Hon to i'tiwor by l*raltniit Kffort Hit Kn-r;:y !Ii < horknt Those Conditions lu Italy that CaUHtxl the Decay of Spain (By Thoir.m Burke Grant.) When Spain declared war against tho United States there was one among the statesmen of Europe of whose fervid appreciation of America there cannot bo the least doubt from the very nature of his utterance. That was Signer Crispi, the man who has checked those conditions in Italy that have caused the decay and degeneracy of Spain. Crispi said: "The present war is an epoch-making event in the march of human freedom; that the prophecy of Be Toqueville is being realized and the Institutions of America are revolu tionizing those in Europe." Of course to Americans there cannot be anything essentially new in this statement which is nevertheless gratifying. We know it is true in the present Instance hut tho purblind tory of Europe hard ly cares yet to admit it. The agrarian noble of Germany who feels the scep tre of power passing from him to the masses of the Gorman people, wants to shut out our American produce. He thus pays unconscious tribute to America in this effort to keep a roof upon the Schloss. The stolid reader of the ponderous articles in the Lon don Times may sneer at the Sunday •paper, or at tho sensational Journalism of America, but under the very shad ow of St. Paul's these prevailing feat ures of America are making headway and are gradually converting into back numbers the once leading journals of London. Even the sacred precincts of the peerage are being invaded, and the British duchesses will soon have to form a combination in order to exclude the nervy, bouncing, magnetic Ameri can girl, who is never more charming than when she dashes down every mil dewed banner that snobbery and self efficiency have fenced around fashion able exctusiveness. Yes, Crispi is right, we are for bet ter or worse revolutionizing Europo, and no power on earth can stop the process. To do so is our divinest des tiny. It was In order that we should do this that the all-wise Creator of the world placed us in the middle with the civilization of Europe to tiae Ear' of as, and that of the Orient to the (Vest, our arms like those ci tidcr extending into both. America its only to.be true to herself and to the precept 3 of the fathers of the Re public, In order to bring thrones and crowns, and musty constitutions crum bling to her feet. It is greatly to Sig ner Crispi's credit that he has discov ered and what is more that he has conceded to us so manifest a destiny. The circumstance clearly shows that the Italian statesman is keeping his observation eye in good order, and that he has thoroughly divined the tread of events. And on the occasion of the first for eign war that the United States has bad in eighty-six years, any such fore cast cannot but be regarded as highly flattering to all Americans. It is par ticularly so from a man like Crispi, whose career is an inspiration and who takes high ranks, not so much as an Italian dictator, but a son of "Those men whose hearts were torches For Freedom's quenchless fire." As a prophet Crispi has not only the rare distinction of being honored In Ills own country and In his own time but his prophetic forecasts have in variably been realized. Many years ego when Italy was under the joint tutelage of Austria and France, when her internal divisions were a series of petty duchies like Parma, Modeaa and Tuscany, when the notorious P.omba wa3 ruling at Naples, when Mazzini was a political pamphleteer starving on Fulham Road in London and Gari baldi was a guerrilla chief at Caprera; and when all that was rich and right eous and respectable in the world frowned upon tho Italian patriots and their cause, this man who to-day pre dicts the proud destiny of America, then also forecasted a new and United Italy. He lived too to place the cup stone on a noble idea through Italy taking her place as an integer in the Great Triple AlUance. He has driven out the banditti and fotled every pest against the unity of his native country thai was nursed by Princes r.t their leisure. When others were blind Crispi was wide awake and far seeing. (VLen Mazzini was appeal ing to Charles Albert in the pathetic words, "Sue, unite us," Crlspl saw that union was impossible without a national spirit to sustain It He therefore set about creating the na tional spirit by going from town to town as a tramp editor turning up with a paper in J.filun, or in Malta, or Palermo; making a most scanty liv ing as a writer or delivering a lecture on a political tiisdourse to all within sound of his voice. The great world did not then oa now heed what Crispi said, but Crispi's accuracy and Judg ment and unwavering self confidence were then manifest features of the character of the man who was preach ing the political regeneration of Italy at night and manufacturing bombs in the daytime. The wondering Italians, taught from youth to respect ortho doxy whether in politics or religion asked him on some of these occasions, "Are you a follower of Mazzini?" Ho answered, "No." "Aro you a Gari baldian then?" "No more," was the reply. "What ore you?" was the last despairing interrogatory of those epokesmen in the crowds who tried to eenfound the lecturer. "I am Crispi," was the remarkable response. "But Crispi is nobody," they argued. "I cM. myself ' to-morrow,' " was the emT urya statesman's rejoinder. And (.pi's glorious "to-morrow" came In . P a fr'toil time. Viewea in whatever light we may Crlt.pl is as ranch a marvel among nun, as ia the country he loves a phe nomenon among resurrected anil united people. Having forced a new llaiy a a from the old scrap iron of petty warring states, Crispi's fortitude and Introspection has preserved her from faliihg asunder again. What the nature of those services are can be gathered from the tribute paid Crlspl recently by a member of the College of Cardinals —"His (Crispi's) knowledge i-f our affairs excites the netoninhment of all of üb; it is like intuition. Ho knows us better than we know our selves, and the black anarchy as well as the red." The spirit of the "black anarchy" has pursued Italy's Grand Old Man so relentlessly that Bismarck ouee jokingly observed to him—"l have always believed that I was the most hated man in my time but per haps I have been presumptions in this, fcr Your Excellency pushes me very hard." The pleasant prediction of a man whose prophetic observations give him unique authority may well buoy up all loyal Americans at such a crisis; and the great Italian statesman whose genius together with the smile of Queen Marguerite are said "to be the two bonds that bind Italy together" need have no doubt but his generous and encouraging remarks are destined to make him and his country many warm friends' in the United States. And Ther Cared Her, Too. A physician has had an amusing ex perience. The other day a somewhat distracted mother brought her daugh ter to see him. The girl was suffering from what is known among many peo ple as "general lowness"; there was nothing much the matter with her, but she was pale and listless, and dill not tare about eating or doing anything. The doctor, after due consultation, pre scribed for her a glass of claret three times a day with her meals. The mother was somewhat deaf, but appar ently heard all he said, and bore off her daughter, determined to carry out the prescription to the very letter. In ten days' time they were back again, and the girl looked quite a dif ferent creature. She was rosy cheeked, smiling, and the picture of health. The doctor congratulated him self upon the keen insight he had dis played in his diagnosis of the case. "I am glail to see that your daughter is so much better," he said. "Yes," exclaimed the excited and grateful mother, "thanks to you, doc tor! She has had just what you or dered. She has eaten carrots three times a day since we were here, and sometimes r'tener —and once or twice uncooked—and now look at her!" The medical man was so overcome with laughter that, for some minutes, he could not explain the mistake. Snatched Htm Raldheaded. An infirm old gentleman was found by a rogue moaning sadly for some thing lost. "What is the matter, sir?" said the fellow. "Oh, sir, a villain has just stolen my new white hat from my head, and run away with it!" "Why don't you run after him?" ashed the rogue. "I can't run at all; I can hardly walk." "You can't," said the rogue; "and he stole your hat?" "Yes, he did, sir." "And you can't run?" "Not I." "Nor catch him?" "No." "Then here goes for your wig," and accordingly, pulling off the thatch from his head, the fellow went oft like a shot from a rifle, and the old gentle man was left as bald as a coot. Centenaries of ISPS. This Is to be a year of centenaries France will have three—the centenary of Jasmin, the barber poet, who was born at Agen in 1798, and died in 1864; that of Auguste Comto, founder of the Positlvlst School, who died in 1857; and that of Jules Michelet, the famous historian, who was born on August 21st, 1798. There will be two cen tenary festivals in Italy, in memory of the poet Leopardl and of Savonarola. Besides the centenary celebration of the independence of the Canton of Vaud, the Swiss will commemorate the fourth centenary of Hans Holbein, the great painter. On May 21st, Portu gal will commemorate the fourth cen tenary of the explorer Vasco de Garna. ' She iloes Not lyule. The German Err.p:\_j .ms expressed herself against the proposed reform of women's clothing, saying that she is quite content with the present fash ions, which are sensible and can be modelled according to everyone's taste. Her Majesty Is one of the few Koyal Indies who do not cycle. She considers it a very ungraceful sport for women, and the lady cyclists she has seen in Germany have net im pressed her by their varied costumes. A Singular Ship. The most singular ship in the world la the Polyphemus, of the British Navy. It is simply a long steel tube, deeply burled in the water, tho deck rising only 4ft. above the sea. It car ries no masts or sails, and is used as a ram and torpedo-boat. Hose leaves not only furnish us with the most delightful of perfumes, but are also medicinally employed as a tonic and astringent. Cloth Mailo troiu Wood. Cloth is now deing suecessfully made from wood. Strips of fine-grained wood are boiled and crushed between rollers, and the filaments, having been carded Into parallel lines, are spun in to u.reads, from which cloth can be woven in the usual way. THE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURG, PA. FAOTS IN A PEW LINES- Of the late Pastor Kneipp's work, entitled "My Hydropathic Cure,'' over 400,000 copies were sold in eight years. Addington park, for a century and until lately the official country place of the archbishops of Canturbery, has been sold for $375,000 to a new millionaire from Johannesburg. Electrically operated cabs appear to be a great success in London. At least the London Electrical Cab com pany advertises in the public prints there an increase in capital stock. Fuller's earth, since its discovery in Floriday in 1894, has been discover ed in paying quantities in Colorado, South Dakota, Nebraska, New Mexi co, Indian Territory and New York. The first woman on record who held a medical diploma was Anna Moranda Mazzoni, who, in the middle of the last century, filled the chair of anatomy in the University of Bologna. Trinidad is perhaps the principal breeding place for sea birds iu the south Atlantic. The deposit of guano is consequently great. There are traces of abundant extinct vegeta tion. What is probably the most venera ble piece of furniture in existence is now in the British museum. It is the throne of Queen Haten, who reigned in the Nile valley some 1,000 years before Christ. If a Chinaman dies while being tried for murder, the very fact of his dying is taken as evidence of his guilt. He has departed, but somebody must suffer, and his eldest son, if he has one, is sent to prison for a year. It has been discovered that the na tive African chiefs in the diamond regions have great quantities of valu able diamonds which were accumulat ed years ago. They treasure them as charms and are unwilling to sell them. One whale will furnish trom 1,000 to 3,000 pounds of bone. At Sin Francisco the bone is split, sorted as to color and tied in bundles. These split pieces are called slabs and are three to eight feet long and weigh from three to seven pounds. A British spinster, who chastised her servant merely with "her fists, a poker, a clothes pole, a tack, a ham mer and the arm of a chair and by compressing her neck and kicking her," has been punished by the unusually severe sentence of twelve months' im prisonment. Country roads in China are never bounded by fences, but are entirely undefined. While the farmer has the right to plow up any road passing through his land, drivers of vehicles have an equal right, and they exercise it, to traverse any portion of the coun try at large. Lake Superior is 1,008 feet deep, 601 feet of this body of water being above sea level and 407 feet befow it. The bottom of this great lake is about 375 feet deeper clown than the channels giving admittance to New York harbor. Lake Erie's greatest depth is but 210 feet. A South sea islander greets a friend by flinging a jar of water over his head. In Russia it is correct for gentlemen to press the foreheads of ladies whom they know intimately with their lips, and in Germany and other continental nations kissing be tween men is by no means uncommon. Projectiles used for the United States army for its great modern guns cost as follows : Sold shot, 8 inch, $69.80 each ; 10 inch, $144.20 each; 12 inch, $212 each; 12 inch mortar shells, weighing 800 pounds, sll4 each, and 12 inch mortar shells, weighing 1,000 pounds, $195 each. A German military critic says if we could have all the armies of the con tinent on a war footing and drawn up in one long procession, with thei r guns and ammunition and haggage wagons, the column would be more than 24,000 miles long, and, march ing day and night, it would take near ly a year to pass a given point. The little white spots which some times appear on the finger nails are due to some subtle action of the blood, upon which all the bones, sinews, muscles and organs in the body are dependent for nutrition. They sometimes disappear of their own accord, but there is no known cure. In reality they signify no de rangement of the system. Messrs. Knoch of Birmingham have produced a quick firing gun which is stated to be a long way ahead of any gun of a similar type. It fires 600 magazine bullets per minute, will kill at three miles, and as the barrel is made to swing from right to left it will probably prove to be one of the most deadly weapons of modern war fare. Belfast papers publish details of a horrible affair in County Meath, re sulting in the death of a widow named Doyle, who occupied a laborer's cot tage erected by Navan local authori ties. Somk bullocks strayed into her small plot ot ground, and when the woman attempted to drive them off one of them savagely attacked her, and after she was tossed in the air the whole herd joined in goring her to death.
