A CURRENT note in the Boston Journal
contained a query concerning the use
made of the millions of old postage
stamps which are collected. A CORES
pondent is prompted by the question to
inform the public of practice which
prevails in converts and other Catholic
institutions in this country, and is almost
unknown to those outside their walls.
All cancelled stamps are saved and sent
to missionaries of the faith in China,
who buy with those worthless scraps of
paper infants who would otherwise be
destroyed in accordance with the custom
of the more degraded Chinese. The
many colored stamps are used for the
decoration of walls, etc., by the in
genious Orientals, and are valued so
highly that one hundred of them will
buy baby whose parentshave doomed it
to death. The little ones thus purchased
are gathered into asylums, and reared in
accordance with the laws and customs
of Christian civilization.

FROM the reign of Edward the Con-
fessor until the reign of George l, a
power of healing diseases by "touch"
was claimed by the sovereigns of En-
gland. George | made no pretensions to
this miraculous gift, and it has never
been claimed by his successors. James
l was not supposed to possess this royal
virtue when King of Scotland, but the
power is said to have come to him i'm
mediately after his accession to the En-
glish throne.

PARENTS are often puzzled to help
their children when they get beans, but
tons, ETC., in their noses. The Medical
Record says: elbow the patients nose
for him, by closing the empty nostril
with your finger and blowing suddenly
and strongly into the mouth-an efficient
method which has often succeeded when
instruments have failed. The CLOTHS
closes spasmodically, and the whole
force of your breath goes to expel the
button or bean, which commonly flies
out at the first effort"

5000, 900 of hostile Irishmen; whereas
in 1871 it was 100000 with 100000

TOPICS OF THE DAY.

ELABORATE investigations have lately
been made in France upon the action
of glycerine on the animal system. A
very large single dose causes death, with
symptoms resembling those of acute
poisoning by alcohol Moderate doses,
however, are said to increase the weight
of animals, and improve appetite and
digestion.

AN outline of Prince Gortschakoff's
reply to the circular letter of Lord
Salisbury is given in the foreign news.
The Prince answers the letter point by
point. He seeks to disarm the suspicious
of Western Europe, claims for Russia
the most disinterested motives, asserts
that she does not regard the San Stefano
treaty as defnitive, and complains that
the British Government does not put its
propositions in terms of precision. The
tone of the reply is conciliatory, though
there are passages that are rather pun
gent.

AN English writer calls attention to
the fact that the failure of the potato in
Ireland in 1876 gave an almost new
population to the United States and to
the British colonies. This writer thinks
that if the millions of men oppressed by
famine in China are not debarred from
migration great many of them will
seek the United States.
