The Pope as a RefOrmer.

His Holiness Leo XIII. has a reform
ing character. The spirit of reform tn us
far shows itself in the business of the in.
terror of the Vatican Court, in cutting
down expenses and abolishing old Gus
toms that require large sums of money.
His Holiness says, very wisely, he does
dot know what the contributions of the
faithful may amount to in the future,
therefore it behooves them all to be pru-
dent Cardinal Catarini, who announced
the election to the people, was entitled
by old custom to handsome fee for that
act, but he will not be allowed to. receive
any. The Guardia Mobile and certain
other officials of the Vatican received
in past times, when Pope died and a
new one elected, so many pounds of wax
according to their rank. AS large guam
titles of wax are used in the various re-
ligious ceremonies, it is very valuable,
and this gift is equivalent to money.
This old custom is discontinued by order
of His Holiness. The officials and clerks
of the Dateria, from the Cardinal at its
head down to the lowest employ6, have
always been entitled to a double years
salary at the coronation of new Pope.
Thisialso is forbidden. The Chapter of
St. Peter sent in an account of a round
sum of 100000 francs, which, it said, was
intended to pay all bills for the papal
funeral. The Pope pushed the paper
aside and requested that all the bills with
the items should be brought to him and
he would pay them.

and preferred to have the ring kissed.
The present Pope extended the mula
more willingly than the hand, not at the
private audience, but at a public one.
This extention of the muLd is an old
custom, older than the kissing "f the
ring, but is an ungraceful one. The
Pope is u TALL slender man. His white
soutane is much too large for him, thus
when he held it up, stood on one foot
and extended the other, on which was

cal slipper, to be kissed, he looked very
awkward, and the PROSTATE pilgrims
were most unpleasant to the eyes. He is
very thin and pale; the white soutane
makes him still paier. 1t is said he suf-
fers from an affection of the heart, but
he looks why and energetic His eyes
are very light, they have no sparkle in
them and his features are hard. There
are heavy lines in his face, but he has a
kind smile and a thoughtful expression
that is attractive.-Anne Brepster, in the

European Ignorance.

One of the foremost monthlies, which
well represents the literature and learning
of Germany, in an article on railways,
written by a university professor, at
tributed to "a speech of President Lin
coin, in the Senate of the United States"
the astounding statement, that sin build
ing railway, it was better to finish the
road rapidly, because, though such i'm
mature work would cost more lives, it
would hasten the development of the
country | wrote to the editor that Mr..
Lincoln never was in the Senate; that,
excepting in the case of the Pacific road,
the Senate had nothing to do with rail
ways; and though Mr.. Lincolp had once
urged the rapid and vigorous prosecution
of the ndr, on the ground that the saliva
ton of the Union would infinitely over
balance all present cost and loss. he was
utterly incapable of thus stalking human
life against the gains of railroad. The
editor promised to make the correction;
but Just then an American newspaper at
Berlin made squib upon his article, to
the effect that, on the occasion referred
to Alexander Hamilton. Senator from
Toronto, had replied to Mr.. Lincoln with
great eloquence and power The be-
wildered German Goiehrte hcreupon sent
me the paragraph, which he took to be
serious, and said; Though | have much
confidence in your knowledge, suspect
that my allusion to Mr. LincolA was cor

which gives evidence of minute accuracy
confirms my statement" | was obliged
to answer, MY dear sir, don't you see
that this paragraph is making fool of
you! Don't you know that Toronto is in

Traits of the Artist Turner.

1t is said that once Turner had invited
a gentleman to dine with nina rare
occurrence indeed. Now it happened
that the same day nobleman was to give
a dinner, at which he desired the COM
pany of both Turner and his friend.
Hearing of Turner's previous engagamentT
he concluded it would be polite to cali
and explain matters and tender his in
vitation to the artist in person, the other
gentleman having already accepted
conditionally. Turner accordingly was
waited upon, and accepted the invitation
after little demur. "Well, if must,
s'pose l must; but" Before he had
time to complete the sentence, his father,
who had been listening while preparinga
canvas for the son, perhaps dreading lest
any hesitation should necessitate the din
ner at home, thrust open the door, and,
without any disguise of his own feelings,
exclaimed, $50, Billy, go! The mutton

cooked in Queen Anne street would have
caused an alarm in the neighborhood;
Tor to have seen anything beyond the
feeblest curl of smoke attempting to
struggle and escape from Turner's Chin

The old man used to strain and varnish
his sons canvases, and Turner would say,
laughingly, "Father begins and finishes
all my pictures" He was a little, thin
old man, very short, and endowed with
uncommon loquacity. He had funny
habit of jumping up and down on his
toes, which caused many visitor at the
gallery in Queen Anne street, of which
the old man took charge, to pause in
Soon after Turner went to
live at Twickenham, friend met the old 4
man, very disconsolate, in Queen Anne
street. The cost of riding up daily to
open the gal cry was weighing on his
heart, and life was embttered to him by
thought of the expenditure. The same
friend met him week after. He was
very happy, and jumping up and down
on his toes with his usual vivacity. "Why,

One can imagine the father of the now
wealthy painter riding astride of heap
OF cabbages, and the grim amusement of
the son thereat. There was great af-
lection between the two, and one of the
reasons Turner gave for selling the place
at Twickenham was, that dad" was
always working in the garden and catch

Turner mourned his loss with so much

THE Chicago Journal says the subject
of color blindness is causing quite stir
among railway officials in that city at
present, and it is probable that series
of tests will take place at an early day
of the eyes of the engineers of the vari-
Gus railroads. An electric apparatus has
been arranged for the purpose of testing
the accuracy of engineers optics regard
ing signals by night or day. The subject
will undoubtedly also interest vessel men
and the travelling public. 1t is claimed
that not a few railroad accidents are the
result of color blindness.

LIFE IN CoNsTANTINoPLE.-T peo-
pie of Constantinople are not yet re-
lieved from their tension. Wild rumors
gain best growth at nightfall, and every
body retires in the most excited condition
to be Gained in the morning by new ex
plantations The city is now held in check
by firm hand, which may be that of
Ahmed Netik Pasha, but which bears a
strong resemblance to that of the
irrepressible Mahmoud Damad, who is
again attaining favor in high places.
The Government is in a constant agony
of fear lest some of the fiery patriots of
the city should take up bush whacking
Russian soldiers, and so precipitate that
seizure of the city which would force the
Sultan to leave. There are plenty of
Turks who openly denounce the Sultan
as Russian Giaour, and although there
is no reason to apprehend an outbreak,
one cannot help feeling that each day of
quiet is more than we could expect.
There are fiery bigots here who believe
and publicly declare that the holy stand
ard ought to be brought out; that the
Sultan should give all Islam a chance of
getting to heaven by IA short cut, with
the alternative of hell in case of disobedi-
ence to the summons of the Ilhad (holy
war;. These men are the only really hope
full men one sees. Their only hope is that
after peace with Russia they will be abb
to throw overheard all European inven-
tons and return to the Koran pure and
simple as the rule of government. In
fact, their hope is to wage successful war
against the nineteenth century. Cor. Of

A Plan for Increasing Fishes

"A Washington dispatch states the new
method of fish Matching, devised for the
most part by Mr.. Ferguson, the fish COM
missioner Of Maryland, and put in prac-
tice for the first time this year under the
auspices of Prof. Baird, the present secre-
tary of the Smithsonian Institution, has
proved so scccessful that Prof. Baird be-
lieves it can be used TO hatch the spawn
OF goldfish, mackerel and other sea fishes,
and thus to very greatly and rapidly in
crease their numbers and establish them
at points near our coast where now they
are not found. The Matching is done in
scows and by the help of steam engine
which is used to agitate the water i'll the
vessels which contain the eggs. This
gentle but constant agitation is found to
answer precisely as well as the more Ella
borate apparatus used hitherto. Prof.
Baird says he has had sufficient eXper-
fence OF this new method to warrant the
belief that with a steamer of moderate
size to replace the scows, which are not
seaworthy, he could hatch out with GER
tainty an almost unlimited number of
cod, mackerel and sea herring; fish which
spawn at certain seasons in the open sea,
near'the coast, and which when caught
in the spawning season would yield, for
such purposes, so great a quantity of eggs
from but few individuals, that their num-
Der could with ease be prodigiously in
creased, with the help of a steamer prop
erly fitted.
