VI. Terrell has shown, from numerous

The italian peasants believe that soon
the Pope and the King are to be one there

and succeed to the crown by the death OF
his brother and his next heirs.
Philadelphia is losing its character for
brick houses and white shutters. Brown
stone, green serpentine md marble fronts
have increased to such an extent as to
change the aspect of many sections of the
city. Mansard roofs and bay windows nave
become very numerous, and front shutters
in the new styles of houses are generally
dispensed with. Inside shutters are CON
sidered sufficient N ]. Sun.

action produced an explosion which is de-

yards away were shaken, and persons near
by burned and cut by flying cinders.

According to recent returns France has
1882 important bridges, erected at a cost
of nearly sixty million dollars. Eight hun.
dred and siXty-one were in existence at the
beginning of the century, GA were erected
under Napoleon l., $50 under the restora-
ton, $50 under Louis Philippe, and 297 since
1913. OF the eleven principal bridges only
two are in Paris. Nearly four million dol

Piano keys cannot be properly bleached
unless they are removed from the instru-
ment. One way is to rub the ivory with
pounded pumice stone and water. and
place it, while moist, under a glass shade
and expose it to the sunshine. A new
method, discovered by NJ. Cloez, is to sus-

and expose it to the light for three or four
days. The substance to be bleached must
not rest on the bottom of the vessel, as a
thin acrid matter is deposited during the
operation.-BoSton Journal Of Chemistry.
AsLondon journal quotes from the
" Transactions of the Medical Society of
Upsala" an account of an ingenious piece
of rascality in the hop trade, said to be
practised on a considerable scale in that
city. Hops which have already been used
for making extracts, or for brewing in the
way, are damped with tincture of
absinthe or wormwood, freed from spirit
by distillation, redried, and then placed
upon the market as a genuine article, with

An English clergyman relates that two
sisters had an audience with the

asked her what she wished, and she, being

hand upon her clasped hands as she knelt,

Ralph Waldo Emerson, in a recent Boston
lecture, said Our young men lack ideal
ism. A man to be q success, must not be 4
pure idealist, but he must have ideas. He
does not want to be sun-dazzled or sun
blind, but he must have glimmer enough
to keep him from knocking his head against
the wall. We want men of originality.
with ideas wider han their nationality, and
taking in the interests of the race and OF
civilization. We need men of moral II
elastic minds, who can live in the moment
and take n step forward. Columbus was
not n backward feeling crab, nor was Mar

Henry, nor Thomas Jefferson"

the purpose Of furnishing loans to young
mechanics. is an elephant on the hands OF

$3.50, 90 Of which 500, coo should then 90
to the city for public improvements, and
the remaining $50, 900 be invested in tn,
same way for another 100 years. The sun

by which the intentions OF the testator car
