Something New in journalism.

The Printers Circular says: When
the present Pope was a Cardinal, he
cherished the idea of publishing a grand
Catholic .journal-anl "a organ for his
Church that could be read bv all the
people of, Europe and America in their
mother languages. Since his elevation
to the Pontifcate, Leo XIII has exerted
himself diligently to put his ideas of
great newspaper into practice. He has
succeeded so far as to authorize the an
noupcement that its first number will
be issued in July or August of this year.
1t will be printed in seven different ian
guages win discuss all the political and
economical questions of the day, and
officially represent the opinions of the
Holy See. The compositors are to be
the deaf and-dumbb boys educated in one
of the asylums of the Church in Rome
Alimonde will be the General Superin-
tendent. The Popsa.is anxious that
cardinal should be at the head of the
editorial department., he offered that
position to Cardinal Nina, who declined
it. The novel paper will start. with
forty-two Thousand subscribers; very
few of this number are Italians Once
fairly under way, the grand Catholic
organ is likely to commend itself to
future Popes, and become a permanent
power among the newspapers bof the

Bathing.

Avoid bathing within two hours after
meals, is the advice of the. Royal
Humane Society of England, or when
exhausted by fatigue or from any other
cause, or when the. body is cooling after
perspiration,. and avoid bathing alto
gether in the open air if, after being a
short time in the water, there is sense
of chillness, with numbness of the hands
and feet, bat bathe when the body is
warm. provided no time is lost in get
ting into the water: Avoid chilling
the body by sitting Or standing un-
dressed on the banks or in boats, after
having been in the water, or remaining
too long in the water, but leave the
water Immediately if there is the
slightest feeling of .chillness. The vjg-
orous and strong may bathe early in the
morning on an empty stomach, but the
young and those who are weak had bet-
ter bathe two or three hours after a
meal; the best time for such is from
two to three hours after breakfast.
Those who are subject'to attacks of gid
dihess or faintness, and who suffer from
palpitations and other sense of discom.
fort at the heart. should not bathe
without first consulting their medical
ad visor - =

LigIltIlo q.

n
The Duchess of Edinburgh was pre-
vented from laying the corDer-stone of
the Eddystone Lighthouse the other
day by the storm. Old Neptune always
did object to that particular piece of
engineering. In his wrath he forever
buried the first Lighthouse and It's
builder beneath the waves, and ever.
since he has been undermining the foun-
,dations of the present tower. Winstanley
built the first Eddystone Light thouse Of
wood, and with it was ingulfed during
the terrible storm of November Is, s1703.
This storm was perhaps the most fearful
and fatal that ever visited Britain
Twelve men-of-war were lost and their
crews of two, thousand men drowned
within sight Of the English coast. In
one county (Kent) seven cen thousand
trees were torn up by the roots, while in
another county fifteen thousand sheep
were washed away and lost. Eight
thousand persons were drowned by the
floods of lthe Thames, Severn and other
English Eitefs and the damage in Lon
don alone amounted to several million
pounds sterling. 1t is little wonder,
that Winstanley's wooden
Lighthouse was swept away. The second
lighthouse was also of wood and was
built by Rudyerd. 1t took the very
opposite method of making its exit and
was destroyed by fire after showing a
light for forty;seven years. Then John
Smeaton built the present lighthouse,
which has stood for over one hundred
years. IT. is rather a curious fact that
none OF the builders of the .Eddystone
Lighthouses. wess~ practical engineers.
Winstanley was a country gentleman,
Rudyerd was silk mercer and Smeaton
was an instrument maker.

Elimination.

Our bodies are in state of incessant
waste and repair. a At countless millions
of points, old material is being used up,
and instantly replaced by new material
that is as instantly cast aside. l,;l
For this reason it is true not only
that ones body is wholly changed every
year, but that it is not the same at two
successive moments. Hence the impor-
tance Of eliminating organs, to drain of
this dead matter 81 a. 4.ss, h.4.
Arterial blood furnishes all the new
material. while the old is brought away
in the veins. from which, it having
been eliminated, the residue returns to
the heart, purified for further use.g Il
The eliminating organs are the lungs,
liver, kidneys and skin. The lungs
eliminate carbonic acid, - the most
abundant of all the waste; the liver,
chofesterine, waste of the brain and
nerves. the kidneys, the waste of the
muscles; the akin, more or less of carbon
but especially the salts of the system.
If any eliminating organ is inactive
or diseased, so as to be unable to per-
form its Office properly. the effeie matter
is left in the blood, to accumulate in
Ine clrculdU1On, eXcept tndt sOme OHe VI
more of the other eliminating organs
come to the help of the former. II
The skin often does 80 much of this
vicarious work, that a single glance at
the diseased mans face will sometimes
enable the physician to know what
eliminating organ is diseased Or torpid.
This waste matter left in the system
results in various diseases,
in blindness, sometimes in ulcers and
various eruptions, and often in death,
the system becoming at length fatally
poisoned with it. yf7s7oG 5."eai .74 ~

starving to Death,

Thousands of men and women are starving
themselves to death. They dare not eat or
drink this or that, fearing it will increase
their flesh. Life depends upon continuous
self-denial. The only safe and reliable
remedy for this terrible condition is Allan's
Anti-Fat. 1t is wholly vegetable and per.
fectly harmless. Its use insures reduction
of from two to five pounds week. Sold by
druggists. ~

Preaching With HIS Pockets Full Of
rrs7i PiCkerel.
Hartford Times.


DIR. Lyman Beecher, though devout
and earnest divine, was, like the cele-
brated Robert Hall, a great lover OF IN
nocent amusements. This is attested
by his well-known fondness for his vio-
lin, the music of which might not
always have been considered by the
most sanctimonious as strictly orthodox.
The following incident related by an
old resident of Litchfeld, Mr.. Beecher's
home for many years, is characteristic
of the famous preacher, and illustrates
his calm self-possession: io .s
Fishing was one of his favorite diver
sions, and he was sometimes seen stand
ing nearly knee-deep in water of a
neighboring pond trowling for pickerel.
He was engaged in this piscatorial pas
time one Friday afternoon, and so al
sorbed had he become in capturing the
fnny denizens of the lake, depositing
each in the capacious pocket of loose
sack coat, which he wore for the pur-
pose, that he had entirely forgotten that
this was the afternoon for his usual
preparatory lecture until the ringing of
the church bell admonished him of the
fact. Having now only time to reach
the church in season for the service, he
shouldered the fishing pole and started
Immediately FOR the church, on reach
ing which he deliberately set up the
pole against the church. beside the door,
entered aud walked gravely up the long
aisle to the pulpit, while the measured
slump, slump of the water in his boots
was distinctly heard at every step. He
ascended the pulpit stairs and proceeded
at once to the duties of his Office, de-
livering one of the most impressive dis
courses, all unmindful of his burden of
fish,, some of which had hardly yet
ceased to struggle in his pocket. At
the conclusion of the service he again
shouldered his fishing pole and walked
leisurely hume. s i 3a-,f'-4

A RepOrtorial Hero.
IDetroit Free Press.

Sometimes reporter goes up in a
balloon with an aeronaut. 1t would
seem at first sight that the balloon man
had the reporter completely at his
mercy, but such is not the case. He
laughs best who laughs last, and the re-
porter has the writing up of the aerial
voyage. Recently balloon ascension
was made near Montreal and a reporter
of the New York Herald went up. The
account of the trip shows conclusively
that it was one of the most terrible on
record. But the mind of the reader
turns with pleasure from the horror of
the situation to admire the wonderful
bravery of this daring reporter. The
balloon would swoop down on forests,
then bound to- the skies, or nearly there,
then dip into a, lake, then turn a double
somersault without touching the ground !;
in fact. it acted in the most outrageous
and undigni6ed manner The balloon
ist was as pale as ashes, his teeth, chat
tered and his knees knocked together.
But the reporter, oh, where was he
With calm smile at danger, and a look
of uhruffied serenity on his marble
brow, he gave his orders in the same
quiet tone he would have used in order
ing a beefsteak rare at penny restaur-
ant. The trembling balloonist was bid
to lull his fears. The reporter mildly
informed him that the next thing to do
was to get down out of this and ordered
him to throw out some more ballast.
The balloonist was 50 utterly prostrated
by fear that instead of doing this he
opened the valve and the balloon
started down. The balloon struck a
forest and tore great oaks up by the
roots and left track Of fallen trees in
its wake. The reporter desiring to stop
the wholesale destruction of valuable
timber, climbed on. the netting, kicked
open, the, valve. and brought up the
restive balloon against a barn. Having
saved the, life of the aeronaut several
times he completed the good work by
carrying the fainting man into farm
house and there resuscitating him.
When you let New York reporter tell
his own story you will find MIN the
bravest, most daring hero on record.

came when she learned thatSher lover

a change. Last winter a revival of re-
ligion took place in the city in which he
was engaged in business. Suffice it to
say that he united with the church, and
