FATHER Chappelle, the Catholic priest
of Washington who performed the mar
riage ceremony for Senator Tabor, of Col
orado, has recently returned the 800 fee
which he received. The priest has salts
fed himself that both parties were di-
vorced, and that the first wife of Tabor
and the first husband of Mrs. McCourt
are living, and as the Catholic Church
does not allow its priests to solennize the
marriage of divorced persons, Father
Chappelle is doing what he can to make
amends for his fault. He says that by
he laws of the church the pair are not
man and wife, though under the laws of
the country they are SO Tabor denies

Court were married by Justice of the
Peace in that city some weeks ago.

A recent addition to the Newsboys'
Home, Philadelphia. is a bright-looking
lad who halls from Syracuse, N. Y, and
glories in the name of Michael Connolly.
Michael is probably among the most re-
markable whistlers of the age. He
whistles every time he opens his mouth
to speak. and frequently is compelled
TO whistle after every word he utters.
1T Just seems like I'd bust if | don't

less than four times in saying it. The
lad is a professional itinerant bootblack.
He was taught to whistle as cure fol-
a most agerayating case OF suffering.
So violent were the attacks that Michael
would be thrown into commissions when
he attempted to speak; and he declared
that several times he was nearly stran
gled 10 death in making efforts to talk
One day two years ago friendly Gus
toner suggested that he should whistle
before he attempted to speak and see
how far that would relieve him. The
boy tried the whistling cure. and the ef

Small Feet, or Bic Shoes,

been able to effect any exchange One
day the sergeant was drilling the COM
pauy on the tacin%s, Right face, left
face, right-about face, and, of course
watched his men's feet closely to see
that they went through the movements
promptly. Noticing one pair of feet
down the line that never budged at the
command, the sergeant rushed up to
the ppssessor of them, with drawn sword,
and in menacing tones demanded:
.'What do you mean by not facing

l. Perhaps as many as half of the
letters received by editors, explain that
the articles accompanying them were
written 'in great haste, rs though the
statement were calculated to recon-
mend the articles for publication. In

ceal the unhappy fact, though, whether
told of it or not, the experienced editor
can usually tell at a glance just how

ed on the manuscripts submitted to him.

Ohills, their Causes and Consequences,

Catarrhs should receive careful con-
sideration. instead of the neglect which
they generally meet with until they
have fastened on the part affected so
much as TO excite the attention, and per-
haps alarm of the sufferer. Here, how
ever, we propose TO say a few words
about the causes of chills. A person in
good health with fair play, easily re-
sists cold. But when the health flags a
little. and liberties are taken with the
stomach or the nervous system, chill
is easily taken, and according to the
weak spot of the individual, assumes
the form of cold, or pneumonia. or, it
may be, iaundice. OF all causes OF
''cold, probably fatigue is one of the
most efficient. A faded man coming
home at night from long days work,
growing youth losing two hours sleep
over evening parties two or three times
week, or young lady heavily doing
the season, " young children at this tes-
tive season overfed and with short al
lowance of sleep, are common instance:
able to chill taking; very hot rooms
| soft chairs. feather beds, creates sen
sitiveness that leads to catarrhs. 1t l.
not, after all, the ''cold, that is 81
much to he feared as the anteceden
conditions that give the attack chance
of doing harm. Some OF the wors
..colds" happen to those who do no
leave their house Or even their bed, ant
| those who are most invulnerable are OF
| ten those who are most exposed to tn
changes OF temperature, and who, b,
| good sleep, cold bathing, and regula
habits preserve the tone of their ner
vous system aud circulation. Probabl.
many chills are contracted at night o
at the fag end of the day, when tire
people get the equilibrium of their cir
cnlation disturbed by either overheate'
sitting rooms OF under heated bed room
and beds. This is especially the cas-
with elderly people. In such eases tn
mischief is not always done instantane
ously, or in single night. 1t ofte
takes place insidiously, extending owe
DAYS and even weeks, 1t thus appear
that taking cold is not by any mean
simple result OF lower temperature
but depends largely on personal cond
tons and habits, affecting especially tn
nervous and muscular energy OF th
body.-Lancet.
