His holiness, he pope, has recsive !.
the present Of 100 paim.tree branches
sent by the chapter of San Reno, rep.
resented by Mgr. Bresca. This mon.
signor il the leading member of the
Brescs family from San Reno, which
has appeared every year before the
pope on Palm Sunday since 1856. This
privilege was granted September 10,
1886, when IT. Peters square was the
theatre Of Q great event. One hundred
and forty horses and nearly l, 900 work.
men, with thirty-five machines, were
raising the great obelisk of granite
which now adorns the center of the
square. Architect Dominic Foutain,
with silver trumpet, was giving the
signals. A deadly silence was preserved
by the presence Of the hangman, who
had prepared gibbet by order Of
Sixtus, and was ready to hang any one
who disturbed the performance. The
celebrated monolith Of the old circus Of
Csliguls was nearly erect, when the
chatting ropes began to give way. A
powerful voice shouted, "Acqus allie
corde," or "water to the ropes!"
The architect caught the idea and
complied with the suggestion. The
obelisk triumphantly rose on the ped.
estal. The trespasser, however, was
arrested and brought before the pope.
He was one Bresca, captain of sail.
ing-vessel from San Remo.
Why did you disobey my ordersg'
asked the pope.
Because l would rather die myself
than see hundreds killed by the fall OF
the monolith."
Well done" replied the pope.
Thou shalt hereafter hoist the pom.
tifical flag on thy vessel. What else
can / 10 for you?'
The captain requested the pope to
grant him and his successors the priv.
ilege Of supplying palms to the Church
of st. Peter for Palm Sunday, and he
obtained the favor. For the last three
centuries the Brescas have appeared
before the pope OF Rome on Palm Sun.

CONCERNING .MoNOPoLIEs.

SO long As men are In great doubt rs
to whether large corporations are
really "A curse, and many believe they
are blessing, no united effort can take
place to crush them. When IL has
been fully determined that they
are curse we shall have " look for
long while for superior force with
which to oppose them. There is, in
deed, latent force In every people
when oppressed beyond measure, to
turn in desperation upon its oppres-
sors-in other words, the power Of rev.
olution. No one thinks that our la
boring class have reached any such
point to-day. Indeed there has not
been q time In years when there was
70 much work for the laborer or when
he was better paid. The anti-nienop-
olist has not yet given US any practical
suggestiogs. He will take no promi-
nent part in the present campaign.
Two prominent political parties have
maws sufficiently capacious to absorb
all the votes, and when they have been
fed there will be but a crumb left Tor
the anti-monopolist. The great trouble
with the movement Is that an anti
moRopolis Is as sure to become a mo-
nopolis by the acquisition of riches as
the chrysalis is sure to become a but
terfiy, and as soon as he begins to
fiutter about with the wings of wealth
he forgets that he ever was an anti
monopolist. If there is any element
ofreform Ia the movement 1t has not
yet appeared. Whether or not it ever
will appear is q qeustion Of the future.
Their platform, beyond calling ON the
government to assume greater powers,
states nothing tangible. They conf
mence by stating that labor and CAPT.
tai should be allies, not enemies.
There 10 considerable truth In such
statement, but II In scarcely laden with
the charm of novelty, inasmueh ~ 1t
has been considered ever since men
commenced 10 trade. II seems hardly |

Like Hot Cakes"

The above is an old time expression,
and is nearly as "old as the hills" but
yet it is occasionally brought into good
use, and placed in a position where it
counts and adds great weight to the
words accompanying it. This is true
in the following testimonial sent to DIR.
B. Hartman & Co., by Messrs Parret
h Son, druggists, of Greenfield, Ohio,
who say:
"Send us some more advertising
matter. Your medicine is selling like
hot cakes. Send US good supply, for
we need it badlvn
These men know when they handle
. good thing. Judging from the above
Peruna and Manalin must be in good
demand in the country. Being COM
posed purely of vegetable ingredients,
druggists feel safe in recommending
them to their friends. Send for the

An exchange sensibly puts it thus:
The wav to reach mans heart is to

grease the griddle, and turn two pan
cakes at q time is the piece of furniture
in the most demand and the female to
tie to this time of year.

Matthew Arnold is quoted as say
ing to Chicago reporter: Il find one
thing in America which impresses me.
1t is the tendency of the people to flock
to the cities and to seek an education
that will fit them for clerical rather
than manual labor. This is bad and to
be regretted as the demands of the
country are more for manual labor than
for such duties as the people are gen.
orally are anxious to prepare themselves
for. 1t is great mistake that the
tendency of the young people especially
is for city life.
speaking of the peculiar power Of
the Russian mind, the passionate long
