On the steamer she made the acquaint ance of an elderly gentleman who said that he was traveling aimply for pleas ure and the improvement of hi mind and who seemed to be a person of much learning. She was especially (track with bis knowledge of astronomy, and they talked on this subject a good deal "Ton must have given a great deal of attention to the study of the stars," aha aaid to him one day. "Oh, yes," he answered, "I have been interested in the subject for years, and I have made it one of my chief occupa tions as well as pleasures. It is really because of my love for astronomy that I decided to take this trip." "How was that?" she asked. "It occurred to me," he said, "that so far north as we are going the constella tions must be seen to greater advantage than they are farther south.

A signalman in Italy has a remarkably easy time of it in comparison with his British brethren. This is of course part ly due to the greater leisureliness of rail way traffic in the peninsula, but is partly also the outcome of the conditions under which he is required or permitted to ply his calling. He is always married if he were a bachelor he would not be em ployedand his little cabin beside the railway is also his home. He is free during the daytime, at lemrt, to engage in any other occupation he may desire.
