ROthschild'S MaXims.

The will of the late Baron Rothschild
consisted of twenty-five articles, OF
which paragraph twenty, remarkable
for its beautiful lessons of filial obedi-
ence and brotherly love, is as follows
81 exhort all my beloved children al
ways to live in harmony never to loosen
family bonds; to avoid all differences,
dissensions and litigatiOns; to use for
bearance toward each other, and not to
allow temper to get the better OF them,
and to be friendly in their dispositions.
My children possess good example in
their excellent grandparent. Friendli-
ness was always the sure condition to
the happiness and success of the whole
Rothschild family. May my children
now and never lose sight of this family
tradition, and may they follow the ex-
hortation of my lato father, their grand
father, contained in paragraph fifteen OF
his last will, always to remain true and
faithful, and without changing, to the
paternal faith of Israel"

nave decided to hold great international
Catholic congress in London with the object
OF maintaining the doctrines OF papal infalli-
blllty' asserting the popes right to temporal
AZ well as spiritual power, and the duty of all
Christians to retnm to the allegiance of Rome.
1t IL stated this determination is the result of
direct instructions from tlsD Vatican, and some
OF the highest dignitaries OF tho church will
attend the congress. Archbishop Manning.
IN speech at Westminster, admitted that his
spiritual influence greatly increased since hc
lost his temporaties. II arbitration was ever
to snpersode war, the pope would be the only
possible authorized arbitrator. The Catholic
world, he added, was threatened with con.
troyersy on all decrees of tile occumenical
council. There was undoubtedly approaching
one Of the mightiest contests the religious
world had ever seen. Therefore, it was nee
essary to foarlossly assert, through the fro
press of England the pope's rights and his
pretensiOns to worldwide allegiance.

A Mid Ocean Rock.

The Mercury publishes rather SEN
sational report of rock in the middle
of the Atlantic ocean as a solution of
the mystery regarding tho fate Of the
steamships City of Boston, President,
Pacific, United Kingdom, the Ismailia
and other vessels that have never been
heard from after leaving port. The
rock, it appears, lies in latitude 40 north
and longitude G2.lS. 1t was discovered
by Capt. Picasso, of the italian bark
Teresa, which arrived at Queenstown
October 2, from New York. Capt. Pi-
casso makes the following report of his
discovery:
On the ninth of September, at one p.
NJ, wind northerly, very light and clear
weather, with sea perfectly smooth, OBJ
served on the horizon large rock i'll
the shape of n trapezeum, about four
miles to the windward, in latitude 40
north, longitude 62.lS west; tried to
beat up to it, but, owing to the lightness
of the wind, could not do 80. The rock
lay north and south, and was of red
dish brown color; discerned the seaweed
on it plainly with glass. The dimen-
sions are rs follows Length, 100 metres,
3 feet, 81 inches per metre, on the south
part IA metres broad, and 6 metres ont
of the water, which was low about half
past two p. NJ. The rock bore north,
and we made, by chronometsr calcula-
tion, the rock was in the exact position
of latitude 40 north, longitude G2. 1S
west.
Capt. Picasso states that he has a chart
of 1913 by Moneys on board, with this
rock marked on it, but there are two
degrees difference in longitude. This,
he says, is accounted for by the incor-
rectness of theold chronometers. Hewas
surprised at not finding this rock on an
English chart by Wilson, dated 1872,
and also on French chart, same date,
which is on board. He states that he
tried for soundings, but could get none
in the vicinity of the rock. According
to Capt. Picasso's report, the rock is
within a few seconds of the same degree
as New York is situated in, and on n
straight line from west to east, lying
about $50 miles from our harbor, and
nearly in the course of the ocean steam
ers, in what is known as the southern
passage,

Magnetic Women.

In the intellectual as in the physical
world, there are natural and artificial
magnets these produced by those.
Most women are the artificial, gaining
by culture, adaptation, training, in
ilation, imitation, portion of what n
few wOmen-the natural magnates-
have by inheritance. Magnetism may
be communicated by contact, either
material or social, and it often is, with
ont intention or violation. Unless
there be organic opposition, Il really
magnetic woman may impart something
of her power to her intimates, easily
when their sympathy is 80 complete
and active as to beget homogenelty.
Human magnetism moves in circles,
returning in added force to its point of
emanation while youth and vigor last.
Fitness dwells in this, for circle is the
form of grace, tho symbol Of continuity;
and magnetism is compulsion fairly
cloaked as the continuity of grace.
Man catches not little of his magnet

inino associates. He is nodded, refined,

Drifting like the sunbcams fair
On the silent waves Of air
So radtantly by.

Dropping like the sun'H last rays
At the close Of autumn days,
Upon the western hill.
Yellow leaves

women as BassOs.

The womens rights women are 50 exceedingly
sarcastic when any OF the male persuasion un-
dertake to point out any reason why women
cannot sing bass quite as well as treble, that
most men who love q quiet life are willing to
concede everything claimed by the party of the
other part. They make haste to admit that not
only can women sing bass, but that 1t is a great
wrong and shame that they have been hindered
all these years from singing bass by their
bearded oppressors. But when it comes to the
test, the women are not agreed among them
selves upon the question OF bass singing. Occs-
sionally fair one rises to say that for her part
she doesn't want to sing bass, and that IL isn't
woman's business 70 sing bass. Here, for in
stance, IL the way Augusta Moore puts IL in the

member OF Henry Ward Beecher's church,

tative, the model woman, was never made for
