"Rumors have been industriously circu :
lated to the effect that the health of Leo
XIII. is seriously impaired and that before
long q termination of his Pout.ficate may
be expected. For these rumors there is
not the slightest foundation in fact. Leo
XIII. is not of robust constitution nor
does he enjoy what may be termed rude
health, but he is not suffering from any
particular disorder, nor has he any mfr
mites other than such as are incident to
his sge. He rises early and transacts his
business regularly, and without betraying
much fatigue. He eats and drinks very
with the simplest viands. He goes to bed
somewhat late. He takes exercise from

Yergini, and saw the printed notice for
the sale of the altars in the Suppressed
churches of the Incarnation (Barberine),
Sta. Teresa. and st Caius. occupied by the
Direction of the Military Engineers in Rome
for the new works of the palace of the
Central Administration of War" The
auction is to take place on the 16.h of May,
at 10 q. m. The affairs are to be put up
for sale in three lots. Lot No. l consists of
"the marbles forming the high altar In the
ex-church of Sta. Teresa, and the cibor-
inm," and the altar on the right and the
altar on the left in the same church. The
price at which this lot is put up
is 81 e92 lire. Lot No. 2 consists
of the affairs in the ex.church of
the Incarnation, and the upset price is
8 7O7 lire and Sc centesimi. The third lot,
set up at 2 ,sO2 lire and IL centesimi, con-
eists of the affairs in the ex church of St.
Caius. The price at which these affairs are
estimated is probably the value of the
marbles for secular uses. They will be,
perhaps, broken up and employed for
decorating mantel- pieces or making table
tops.

A STRANGE OCCURRENCE.

The following letter has appeared in the

extraordinary occurrence may interest some
of your readers A few days ago some
men were cutting turf at Narrahmore bog,
county Kildare. They had just reached the
bottom floor of the hole when blaze of

kept burning for long time. The smell
which came from it was very sickening,
resembling that of gas escaping from leak.
A similar thing happened in nearly the
same place about three years ago. Perhaps
some of your readers would be good enough
to offer some explanation on this extraOr-
dinary matter, which has created no small
surprise in the neighborhood. am, sir,

The race of mankind would perish did
they cease to aid each other. From the
the moment some assistant wipes the
death damp from the brow of the dying,
we cannot exist without mutual help. All,
therefore, that need aid have q right to ask
it of their fellow -mortals. No one who
holds the power of granting it can refuse it

The King and the Shepherd Boy


A merry shepherd boy was one
bright spring morning Watching sheep
in q green valley between woody hills.
and he was singing and jumping for
Joy.
The king of that country, who was
out hunting, saw the boy, and beckon-
ing to him said, "What makes you Sc
merry?"
The boy did not know it was the
king, and replied: "Why should /
not be merry? Our noble prince is no
richer than I am"
"Indeed!' remarked the king; "Nov
tell me what you have"
The boy replied: The sun shines
for me in the blue sky as pleasantly as
for the king, and hill and vale are GOV
cred with grass and flowers as much fol
me as for him. I would not
lose my hands for thousand crowns
and my eyes are more precious 10 m,
than all the kings treasury. Besides
I have all I need, for I want no more
than is necessary; I eat every day a.
much as need, I have clothes to cove
me, and 1 receive for my work ant
trouble as much money as require
and can you say that the prince has
more?'
The king smiled, told him who he
was, and added, You are quite right,
my good boy, and you can now say
that your king agrees with yon.
Remain always as happy and content

Cow Choking.

A veteran farmer told us few days
ago of method of relieving choking
COW. which was new to us but which
he assured us was unfailing. 1t is wor-
thy of trial at any rate. A round stick
two or three iEces in diameter. and six
inches long rs pnt into the COWS mouth,
like bit into horses mouth, string
is then fastened to each end of the
stick and tied to the horns, or mp over
her head. This forces her to keep her
mouth open and allows the gas which
forms in the stomach and is the cause
of the severe pain and rapid swelling
which accompanies choking in COW
to escape. The effort also Of trying to
free her mouth Of its unusual incum-
brance is the best help toward freeing
the passage Of the throat. If the trou-
BILE is not removed in this way, the COW
may be kept alive until help is obtained
by trying other measures for he relief.
In such cases time is Of great impor-
tance. He assures us he has seen his
plan tried in many cases. and in none
had it failed Of u complete cure in less
than half on hour. -S'saA''

Raising Sheep.

The following communication to the
Ohio Farmer on this interesting subject
is evidently from the pen OF one whose
practical experience lends weight to his
words: -
Ny plan is to obtain the best possible
breeds suited to my location aud mar
ket, which I claim as the cross OF Cots
void and Southtlown, the Cotswold hav-
ing the wool and quality and the Sonth-
down having the mutton qualities. The
cross makes the size and fattening quail
tiles.
The cross makes very hardy and
prolific sheep; the wool brings the high
est market price. a. do also the sheep
and lambs. / commenced the business
by buying some grated Cotswolds and
some pnre Southdouns. paying an av-
erage OF ten dollars per head for them,
all ewes; then with q thoroughbred
Cotswold, commenced crossing, which
I find a very desirable one. The most
of my ewes have twins. which, if prop
erly fed and handled, will raise most
all of them. have lost but two lambs
this season. yet. Think / have tine q
flock of grade sheep as any in the coun
try. Have crossed so often that my
sheep can hardly be told from pure
Cotswolds. I have lamb that will
be one year old next May. that has
wool twelve and half inches long and
very curly. have also lamb few
weeks old which weighed fourteen
pounds when born. have few i'm
ported ewes and lambs, but do not find
them as hardy as my grades. l have
my lambs generally to come in February
and March, and ship all the buck
lambs and the eve lambs that do not
come up to my mark of excellence to
the city. They generally average sixty
pounds at two months old, aud bring
me from nine to twelve cents per pound
gross.

Stacking Clover.

In stacking clover at least six quarts
of salt should be scattered through ev-
cry ton as it is laid up 1t is important
that the center of the stack botto !,
when the rails or poles are laid, should
be raised twelve or fourteen inches
higher than the outer edge. There is
nothing in hay making that pays bet
ter than to make good stack founda.
tion, especially for clover hay. In
building the stack keep the center solid
and high, and the outside comparative>
ly loose, and rake down well. If one
desires to veptilnte use a sack, say
eighteen inches in diameter and four O,
five feet long, fill it with chaff or some
light material, place it upright in
the center on the foundation of the
stock and build up around it. As the
stack rises the sack must be drawn up,
leaving hole in the center from the
bottom to top which should be proper
ly capped over to prevent the rain from
getting in. In conclusion, the writer
is prepared to admit that hay made oi
grass after the seeds and stalks or fully
matured, will last longer than thai
made as suggested above. Old straw
or brush still longer-perhaps longer

The Jews in the United States.

Some interesting facts bearing on
the growth OF the Jewish faith in the
United States are contained in the re-
port read IN Milwaukee, before the fifth
council Of the Union of American He
brews congregations. This organiza
tion is mainly composed of western
synagogues, although it seems to be
rapidly growing recruits in Pennsyl-
vania and in other Eastern States. 1t
appears that body includes some eighty
congregations, embracing upward of
fonr Thousand contributing members,
and owing real estate exclusive of bur-
ial grounds) valued at S1,G60, 900.
Their expenditures during the past
year, not including the sums devoted to
building, exceeded quarter of mil
lion OF dollars. The same report pre-
sents condensed statement of statis-
tics relating not merely to the Union
but to the whole Jewish population.
This valuable summary embodies the
returns from three thousand and three
different places, two hundred and TWEEN,
ty three syuagognes with twelve thous-
and members and property valued at
81, 900, 600. The real estate and funds
belonging to the colleges. hospitals and
other public institutions under Hebrew
control are appraised at more than
81, 700, 900. Some thirteen thousand
scholars receive religious instruction
under six hundred and fifty two teach
ers. We may add that the whole num-
ber of Jews residing in the Unite
States is said to fall very little short of
q quarter OF million.

Fifteen Great Mistakes,

It is great mistake to set up our
own standard OF right and wrong, and
judge people accordingly. 1t is a great
mistake to measure the enjoyment OF
others with our own; to expect uniform.
ly Of opinion in this world; to look for
judgment and experience in youth; to
endeavor to mold all dispositions alike;
not to yield in immaterial trifes; to
look for perfections in our own actions;
to worry ourselves and others with what
cannot be reminded; not to alleviate all
that needs all alienation, as far as it
lies in our power; not to make allow
ances for the infrmities of others; to
consider everything impossible that we
cannot perform; to believe only what
our finite minds can grasp; to expect to
be able to understand everything. The
greatest of all mistakes is to live only
for time. when any moment may launch
us into eternity.

Misrellany.I.
Married Life.

julius Moser gives the following
counsel from wife and mother:
II try to make myself and al around
me agreeable. 1t will not do to leave
man to himself till he comes to you; to
take no pains to attract him, or appear
before him with long face. 1t 10 not
so difficult rs you think, dear child to
behave to husband so that he shall
remain forever in some measure hus-
band. ] am'an old woman, but You can
still do what you like; word from you
ut the right time will not fail of its
effect; what need yon play the suffer
ing virtue? The tear of loving girl,
said an old book, is like dew drop to
a rose, but on the cheek Of wife is a
drop of poison to a husband. Try to
appear cheerful and coptented. and
your husband will be so; and when
you have made him happy you will
become so-not in appearance, but in
reality.
"The skill required is not so great.
Nothing fatters man so much as the
happiness of his wife, he is always
proud of himself as the source of IL.
AS soon as you are cheerful you will be
lively and alert, aud every moment will
afford You an opportunity to let fall an
agreeable word. Your education, which
gives You an immense advantage. will
greatly assist you, and your sensibility
will become the noblest gift that ma
ture he's bestowed on yonu when it
shows itself in affectionate assiduity,
and stamps on every action soft, kind
and tender character, instead of vast
ing itself in secret repinings."
This is most excellent advice, and
worthy Of being treasured up.
