The most curious instance of the ap-
plicatiOn Of the proceeds of theft is re-
ported from Montreal, where letter
carrier on probation stole a registered
letter containing six dollars, and used
the contents to insure himself in one of
the companies that guarantee the honesty
of their policy-holders in responsible
positions.
Pope Leo XII. once, when hard
pressed for money, induced several rich
Roman families to make him advances,
and, by way of compensation, freed
them and their estates from liability to
taxation during the present century.
The taxgatherers of the new Italian
Kingdom, however, refuse to acknowl-
edge the validity of this dispensation,
and have demanded payment of four
years taxes from the Representatives of
the families in question. The latter
have, therefore, determined to contest
their liability before the courts.
"A successful case of " TRANSMISSION of
blood" which occurred at the Hotel
Dieu Hospital, in Paris, has recently
been reported to the Academy of Medi
cine by N. Behier. A young mother was
on the point of succumbing to hemor.
rhage. The attending physician in the
hospital ward offered to bleed himself, or
rather volunteered to shed his blood in
her behalf. A pump heated to about
thirty-five or forty degrees was prepared
and applied; the vein of the young
doctor was opened and a jet Of repairing
blood penetrated into the veins of the
operation was executed. The next day
the patient ate, and few days after she
returned to her family.
An ancient widow was walking the
other day in the Avenue du Maine, Paris,
with her dog, which disappeared in the
Rue de la Gate, and shortly returned
carrying piece of bacon, which it
buried in some soft earth. "Your dog
is clever" said passerby. "Poor
thing" said the widow, "she has young
ones, and this develops her instincts"
So saying the widow uncovered the
bacon and placed it in a capacious
pocket. Presently the dog reappeared with
pair of socks. This seeming to be a
sign of over.anxiety for her young the
passer-by pointed her out to the police,
who found in her pocket cake, pair
bacon, q sausage, book and some other

Many Americans are now travelling
in Europe who would certainly travel
with more ease and profit if they only
possessed some knowledge of one or
more foreign languages. Voiceless
among the chatterers whom they en-
counter they sit or move at a serious dis
advantage, and their enforced dumbness
is often the source Of serious damages
inflicted upon them by sharpers. A rea-
sonable amount of the French language
would save our travellers pecks and
pecks of trouble, and all who look for
ward to visiting and enjoying European
trips should take hold of the study of
French before starting out. Better little
than none. French is more universally
known and spoken on the Continent than
any other tongue.

She lay among the myrtles on the cliff;
Above her glared the moon; beneath the sea.
Tpon the white horizon Athos' peak
Weltered in burning haze; all airs were dead;
The cicale slept among the tamarisk's hair;
The birds sat dumb and dropping, Far below,
The lazy sea-weed glistened in the sum-
The lazy sea-fowl dried their streaming wings;
The lazy swell crept whispering up the ledge,
And sank again. Great Pan was laid to rest,
And Mother Earth watched by him as he slept,
And hushed her myriad children for while.
She lay among the myrtles on the cliff;
And sighed for sleep, tor sleep that would not hear
But lett her tossing still; for, night and day,
mighty hunger yearned within her heart
Till all her veins ran fever, and her cheek,
Her long, thin hands and ivory-channeled feet,
Were wasted with the wasting of her soul.
Then peeyishly she flung her on her face,
And HID her eyeballs from the binding glare,
And fingered at the grass, and tried to cool
Her crisp hot lips against the crisp hot sward.
