Bang.

Your hair is grotesquely banged
And touseled up. that I'll be hanged
If can coax my pen to write
IN praise OF such pretty fright.
But then your dark, gazelle-like eyes
Look up with such sweet surprise.
And touch the heart with tender pangs
Until we quite forget the bangs.
But would you brush the bangs away.
New beauties would begin to play
About the sweetly chiselled brow:
Whose chains are unsupported now.
And these new charms would softly steal
To either cheek. and there reveal
Fresh beauties that would quick begin
To cover nose and lip and chin.
And so the now symmetric face
Would beam with such recovered grace.
We'd know some sprite who envied you,
Had banged its beauties out Of view.

 Pope Leo, according to correspondent of
 the Independence Beige, is a hard-working
 man, but very ascetic. He speaks little and
 laughs never. He rises early and is prob
 ably the only European sovereign who does not take matutinal bath. Then he cele-
 brates mass in his private chapeIa duty
 which occupies barely twenty minutes. Dur ing the next hour or two the Pope arranges the correspondence of the previous day, and from to 10 gives out work to his private secretaries While thus occupied he drinks a cup of black coffee, and at 10 o'clock break lasts, the almost invariable dishes being eggs and fruit, and the beverage white Frascati wine From II to 12 Cardinal Jacobini is with His Holiness, and from noon until 3 audiences are given. The Pope spends an hour or two every afternoon in preparing the material for a monumental history of the Papacy. He has had study fitted up ad- joining the Vatican library for convenience of access to the archives-for the Papal prison is vast and the distances are great. The gigantic task will not be finished in the lifetime of Pope Leo, but even mere frag- ment of it would be of the utmost value to students of modern history, since it must in the main be based upon unpublished doc uments. The public life of the Pontif con cludes for the day with walk in the Vati- his domestic prelates.

Tennis vs. Christianity.

 To the Editor of the JOURNAL COURIER:
 Said Christian woman to me the other day, 'I don't approve of ministers playing lawn tennis. There are better things for them to do Moreover, these tennis tourna- ments are only show places for the pride and vanity of the world. Alasl if the people who spend so much time in playing tennis only realized the more important things of lifel" I pondered her words long and earnestly. Is indulging in lawn tennis then 8 sina Are base ball games, boat races and other athletic sports necessarily sinful because they offer loopholes for the fashion of this world to creep ina Is minister any the less Christian because he develops his muscular energies, or are our young girls in danger of condemnation because they en- ter, with all the enthusiasm of their buoyaut spirits, into the game of lawn tennis? I trow not, and beg to say, in passing, that per sonal bias towards tennis other health full games does not influence this decision.
 am but "a locker on in Venice, yet none the less I sympathize with the participants in games of agility.
 As Ireview the criticism quoted above a vision of early Puritanic days comes before me, and I realize that intolerance still domi- mates New England minds. The broad char ity which calls nothing common or unclean, which casts mantle over the neighbours faults, which sees good in everything, is. thank God, an attribute of many Christians. But among the professed followers of Jesus Christ large minority exercise a spirit of censorious criticism in direct contradiction to the command. "Judge not that ye be not judged" In all other matters these disei- pies of our Lord tread in his footsteps; but in the direction of criticism their souls are warped and narrowed. ''With fawrpiercing eyes like needle points" they view the world at large, and amusements furnish them with many texts on the depravity of mankind. Not long since 8 professional man of this city remarked to me, 'tYou blame my world 1y mindedness. admit that my life is far from perfect, but have more charity for the failings of others than hundreds of your exemplary Christians" was compelled to acknowledge that his words were true.
 Alas, that the loving gospel of the large hearted, compassionate Jesus should narrow and dwarf the sympathies of men and wo- menl We are not in the world to criticise and judge the actions of one another. That is his province who is the judge of all men. But we are here to make the world better and purer that we have lived in it. Not by condemning harmless amusements will Christians enlighten and reform those around them, but by wide-hearted sympa- thy with all that is en1arging and invigorat ing to bodies, minds and souls.

CREMATION.

CREMAT1ONs
 Ideas, or s'notions,'' as some call them, are always welcomed in Massachusetts, and the idea that cremation is good way in which to dispose of the bodies of the dead has found more acceptance there than in any other New England State. For year or two past there has been much discussion of the matter there. Many prominent citizens of Worcester, city nearly as large as New Haven, have been interested in it, and company has been formed to provide facili- ties for cremation.
 Those interested have secured the passage of bill by the legislature, and this bill hay ing been signed by the Governor has become a law. It is An interesting measure. It pro- vides that corporations established for the purpose of cremation shall have capital stock of not less than six thousand nor par value of their shares shall be either ten or fifty dollars; that they may acquire real estate for their purpose and situated the State board of health, lunacy and charity shall approve, to the value of fifty thousand dollars, and the locations and plans of their buildings must be approved by that board or
 
 some person designated by it to examine them; that they may make bylaws and reg ulations, subject to the approval of the same board, for the reception and cremation of bodies and the disposition of the ashes, and must carry on all their business in ac- cordance with such regulations as the board may from time to time establish, and for any violation of these regulations the cor poration shal1 forfeit not less than twenty nor more than five hundred dollars. The act further provides that no body shall be cre- mated within forty eight hours after death, unless the dsath was caused by an infectious or contagious disease, nor until the usual burial certificate required by law has been received, together with a certificate from the medical examiner of the district within which the death occurred that he has viewed the body and made personal inquiry into the manner and cause of death, and is of the opinion that no further examination or judi cial inquiry is necessary.
 This is a well constructed law and those who want their bodies burned will soon be able to have their desire carried out fdecent- ly and in order" It will be interesting to see how much practical belief in cremation there is in Massachusetts. If we can judge by what has been said during the discussion there is great deal, and burnings may be frequent when the crematory is built.

CaIifornians that Appreciate Grass
 hopperS.
From the Chico Enterprise.1

The unusually large number of grasshop' pers this spring, and the excitement they have caused with the local newspaper itemi- gers, will now be calmed. The Indians have started in with twig brooms, and are driving them into round holes which they dig in the ground. The modus operand can be seen up Chico creek, on the plains, where ten or twelve bands of five or six Indians in each are at work. The first operation is to dig a funnel-shaped hole three feet across and about three feet deep; thsn the band scatter out on skirmish line about 200 feet from the hole, in different directions, and com mence sweeping and driving the hoppers to- ward the pitheles, and by working around in circle they gradually drive 8 good share of the insects toward and into the hole, from which the poor hoppers 'can ne'er come out again, /" until the frugal mahala lifts them out into wheat sack. The crawling, jumping mass in the pit, when the drive is done, would do any vengsfnl Granger good as he thinks of the horrid fate in store for his enemies, to be roasted to death at some In- dian restaurant. The process of cooking is unique, if not elegant. Hot stones are put into the sack, and they are carefully shaken backward and forward together until the legs and wings of the hoppers are broken and burned off, when they are served with out sauce in all the 'fLo" caravanseries, and considered great luxury. We were inform ed by young buck that they were much better than white mans shrimps, and he thought not so repulsiv6.
