The Vatican.


The Vatican is the queen of palaces. II
Joins st. Peters, the king of churches"
and were it not for the dome the palace
would overtop the church. 1t takes its
name from Vatican Hill on which it stands.
This largest, and in some respects, the most
beautiful palace in the world is visited by
thousands of travellers and pilgrims every
year. For 500 years it has been the resi-
dence of the Fopes. They, however, &C.
cupy but small part Of the immense
building 1t is mostly used as a vast mu-
scum. In its beautiful chapel, great halls,
innumerable rooms, interminable CALLER
les and grand library are treasures of art,
relics of antiquity, marvellous sculptures,
immortal paintings, inscriptions from
tombs, basreliefs, bronzes, gems and re-
mains of ancient Etruscan, Roman and
Egyptian civilization. Take it all in all,
the riches of its treasures are not surpassed
by any other collection on earth The Vat
lean is vast, irregular cluster of buildings,
enlarged and extended at different times,
until it is seventy-two rods long and forty
eight rods wide. 1t covers an area larger
than the Tuilleries and the Louvre com
bined II is said to contain twenty open
courts eight grand and 200 smaller stair
ways and 1900 rooms-a little city in itself.
We visited it many times and always came
away with weary feet and exhausted brain,
so endless are its objects of attraction.
From the windows of the Vatican we can
now and then get glimpse of the Pope's
sunny gardens, with their orange and lem
on trees laden with fruit, their fragrant
flower beds and close-triInmed hedges,
shady walks and even driveways, for since
the Holy Father has been prisoner" he
takes his drives in his gardens. 1t is
thought that there was a palace connected
with the Church of st. Peters as early as
the time of Constantine, but there certainly
was residence for the Bishop of Rome"
on the site of Vatican in the early part of
the sixth century. Charlemagne resided
in palace on this spot at the time of his
coronation in the eighth century. 1t was
rebuilt on magnificent scale by Pope In
nocent Ill about AID. 1900, and enlarged
by Nicholas Ill in 1877. Since 1877, after
the return of the Pontifcal Court from
AYignon to Rome, the Vatican has been
the permanent residence of the Popes. Nj
merous and extensive alterations have been
made by different Pontiffs, each one trying
to excel the others in the splendor of his
additions. There is covered passage, half
mile long, built by Pope John XIII. in
the early part of the fifteenth century, con-
Meeting the Vatican with the castle of ST.
Angelo. 1t was designed as private way
of escape for the Popes from the palace to
the fortress in time of danger This escape
was used by Alexander VI. and Clement
VII. and others, when Rome was invaded
by enemies Troy Times.

Boosted into the Air by an Elk.

Hunting elk in Dakota we followed up
the trail and saw three elks 90 over the TOP
of neighboring hill. A little farther up
the gully we saw Charley stop and draw his
knife and give it a grand curve in the air.
We fastened up the hillside and came in
sight of him just as he planted one foot over
the elk's head and was standing astride OF
its neck and shoulders. He took hold OF
one ear and turned its head over and its
throat upward, and with loud whoop he
plunged the knife into its throat, and at
about the same instant was suddenly hoist
ed about ten feet into the air and came
down on his back and shoulders. The elk
was up and maze half dozen mad plunges,
but Charley grasped his rife and shot il
through the body, knocking it down to
stay. We went up to him and were sur
prised to see his coat split up the back and
one leg of his trousers torn nearly off.
- Wi hat in the world have you been do
ing?'' / asked
"Oh, my leg i. broken Oh, my that
elk has killed me My ribs are all broken
oh, dear mel" and with that he tainted
dead away.
A handful of snow rubbed over his face
soon revived him.
Charley still limps lightly, and his ribs
are still black as bass. He says he don't
like elk meat much, and when he begins to
tell of his exploits we have only to ask him
if he was sticking elks, and it winds him

Elizabeth's reign, between Thomas Filsop.
deaf and dumb man, and Urusula Bridget,
hearing and laxative spinster. As the
prayer book required that the promises of
marriage should be exchanged in spoken
words, the clergy and authorizes were IN
able to say how this dumb man could be
satisfactorily married. In their perplexity
they appealed to the Bishop Of London,
who, with the help of another member of
the clergy, devised marriage service by
signs. The bride made her promise in the
usual manner, and the groom did his part
thus Having first embraced Ursula with
his arms, he took her by the hand and put
the nuptial ring on her finger. He then
laid his right hand significantly upon his
heart, and afterwards, putting their palms
together, extended both his hands to
heaven. Having thus sued for the Divine
blessing, he declared his purpose to dwell
with Ursula till death should separate
them, by closing his eyelids with his
fingers, digging the earth with his feet. as

ADVICE TO MAuDENs.

II you want to do it neatly
Very sweetly and completely
II you want to do il right and do II nice,
First you choose your victim rightly,
Then YOU press his arm so slightly,
Then you drop your eyes so brightly once OF
twice.
Then, with eyes 50 very loye-like,
You look up to him, so dove like,
As around his manly neck your arms you throw
Then he'll press you TO his heart when
You must swear you ne'er will part then
You work your cards but do it very SLOW.
Then you call him first your lovey,
Ask him then to be your hubby,
And TO bear you safely through earth's cruel
strife;
He'll clasp you to him madly
And in loving tones most gladly
He'll claim you Us his pretty little wife.

The accompanying illustration, copied
from the United States Agricultural Report
Of 1888, represents a pan made for captur-
roc grasshOppers, and can be constructed at
= nominal expense, as follows: Take a
sheet of light sheet iron, say nine feet long
by two feet wide turn up one side so as to
form the front side of the pan three inches
deep turn up the other side so as to
form the back OF the pan SIX inches deep /;
then turn up the ends, say three inches
deep; raise the back and ends with thin
boards, fastened to the back and ends OF the
pan. so as to make them from fourteen TO
eighteen inches high. The ends may be
formed "a in illustration. This will make
pan eight feet and four inches long, and
seventeen inches wide on bottom. Take
three pieces of fence board, say four feet
long; nail across them at ends two
pieces of same material, each eight feet
long: on the front side secure the pan so
that the four feet pieces will serve as run
ners. To the ends of the runners in front
Of pan attach ropes, by which the pan can
be hauled by boys or by a horse. The pan
can be made any desirable length, in order
to prevent the liquid in the pan from spill
ing A number of cross pieces might be
placed across the inside. When ready for
operation. place about half of an inch or
less, so that it covers the bottom Of pan, of
any of the liquids named above, then haul
the pan between the rows Of vines or trees,
or over the grass fields infested, and results
similar to the following, given in United
States Agricultural Report, 1888, page 176,
may be expected 1--WE have known from
seven TO ten bushels of young locusts
caught with one such pan in an afternoon.
IL is easily pulled by boys, one at each rope.
The oil may be used alone, SO as to Just
cover the bottom, OF on the surface of the
water, and the insects strained through
wire ladle. When the insects are small,
one may ccouomize in kerosene by lining
the pan with saturated cloth. Where oil
has been scarce, some persons have substi-
tuted concentrated lye, but when used
strong enough to kill, it costs about as
much as the oil.n
On page 1T it is further stated THE
use of the kerosene pan in New Hamp-
shire has met with an abundant measure
Of success although the experiments were
begun rather late. From the second week
in June on, daily draggings we're made on
nj least six farms, and as many as bushel
of grasshoppers taken in an hour from a
single pan, without reckoning those which
had Jumped cut and died on the ground
from the effects of contact with the kero-
Sene. On the farm of Mr.. J. X Chandler,
on one occasion, fifteen bushels were cap
tured in one hour, and upon an adjoining
farm hushel were taken IN two minutes.
