THE CoNsISToRY.
Meaning of the Term and Its Ancient Sig.
MITIGATION.

Meaning of the Term and Its Ancient Sig.
MITIGATION.
The word is term which was orig
inally applied to an ante-chamber or
outer room of the palace of the EN-
perors of Rome, where the petitioners
for justice assembled and awaited the
presence of the Emperor, and the phe-
nomena of which have formed the
motive of ancient and realistic poetry,
no less than the inspiration of modern
recreative or imaginative art. The
Emperor, upon his entrance into the
consistory, took his seat upon tri-
bunal, while the others stood, consiSte-
baat, around him. The word consist
DRY, as term of ecclesiastical law, in
which sense it is for the most part en-
ployed in the usage of to-day, came to
be used first of all to denote certain
ecclesiastical councils, in which the
bishop was seated, while the presbyters
and other clergy stood around him.
1t proceeded by degrees to be referred
generally to all ecclesiastical councils
in which bishop presided, and in
which matters of order rather than of
doctrine were discussed and decided.
The term consistory," as used in the
Latin Church, is applied at Rome
to denote a meeting of the
College of Cardinals convoked
by the Pope and held I'M
der his Presidency, the presence of his
holiness being a necessary condition
to constitute the assembly of Cardinals
a consistory. Consistories are either
public or private. A public consistory
is now rarely summoned, and is, in
fact, an extraordinary assembly of
Cardinals, at which other prelates and
ecclesiastical magnates are present,
and over which the Pope presides in
his pontifical robes of state. 1t was
customary for the Pope to receive for
eign sovereigns and their Ambassadors
in public consistory, and the hat
used to be conferred ON newly created
Cardinals in such an assembly. The
private or secret consistory is the
ordinary court in which the Cardinals
attend on the Pope, and in which the
latter formally transacts certain &C.
clesiastical matters which are of suffi-
GENTLY high Importance to be deemed
consistorial, such as the nomination to
all consistorial benefices, the creation.
of Cardinals, the confirmation of the
election of Bishops and their DISPOSE
ton, the appointment to vacant Sees,
the sending of the pallium to Arch
bishops, and the granting of extraordi-
nary dispensations. This ordinary
consistory of the Pope is for the most
part held in chamber of the Papal
Palace at Rome, known as the camera
or Painted Chamber, as the
Star Chamber at Westminster came to
be so called from the painting or
tapestry on its walls. London Society.

go. Lor, Hit I'm Again!''

m the early days of Methodism in Scot
land, a certain congregation, where there
was but one rich man, desired to build a
new chapel. A church meeting was held.
The old rich Scotchman rose and SAID :
Brethren, we dinna need new chapel
I'll give f5 for repairs"
Just then a bit OF plaster falling from the
ceiling hit him on the head.
Looking up and seeing how bad it was,
he said Brethren, it's worse thon
THOUGHT; I'll make it so pun"
ooh, Lord, exclaimed a devoted brother
on a back seat, shit i'm againP'
There are many human tabernacles
which are in sore need OF radical building
over, but we putter and fuss and repair in
spots without satisfactory results. 1t is
only when we are personally alarmed at
the real danger that we act independently,
and do the right thing. Then it is that we
most keenly regret, because we did not
sooner use our Judgment follow the advice
born OF the experience OF Others and Jump
away from our perils.
Thousands OF persons who will read this
paragraph are in abject misery to-day
when they might be in a satisfactory con-
dition. They are weak, lifeless full OF odd
aches and pains, and every year they know
they are getting worse, even though the
best doctors are patching them In spots.
The origin Of these aches and pains is the
kidneys and liver, and if they would build
these all over new with Warmers safe cure
as millions have done, and cease investing
their money in miserably unsuccessful
patchwork, they would be well and happy
and would bless the day when the Lord
"hit EN-" and indicated the common-sense
course for them to pursue.-London Press

by dozens, the better in boxes, the
cheaper in bales.
Although aesthetic studies have had
a marked effect upon the designs fur
nished to quilt manufacturers by chintz
and calico printers, the old reds, greens
and puppies have not yet been
entirely superseded by terra cottas,
olives, and cold-gravy tints. There is
a certain class of customers who are
characterized by an innate prejudice in
favor of what the French denominate
colors that swear. This class is served
with shoddy-flled quilts of execrable
colors, A great many cheap quilts are
also made from the patchwork calico,
which is printed to supply a regular
demand. Pink silesa backed
with blue, maroon, and old
gold; navy-blue and scarlet; bronze,
green, and pink are among the favorite
combinations. Within short time
sateens have been used in place of cal
leo. The sateens come in less pro-
nounced and more tasteful shades, and,
being filled with the finest carded cot
ton, are really very desirable and hand
some. 1t is probable that in the course
of time silk quilts will constitute an
important branch of this manufac-
ture, as will also coverlets of down,
such as used abroad. The industry is
supplying regular and steadily in
creasing demand in American trade.
Manufactured quilts are no longer ped
died in the old New England style, but
are now to be found as regular stock
upon the counters of the representative
dry goods houses of the country.-M

The Antelope of New Mexico.

Even in his most graceful movements
there is something of gross materiality
about the deer, from which his bright
cousin of the plains is entirely free.
Whether, in clear outline against the
sky, he stands on distant swell watch
ing you, or, like stilted ghost, looms
afar through the mirage of the heated
plain, or, far out of shot, circles round
you with legs filmy with speed, the an
telope is all spirituelte, and seems like
a being from another sphere, born only
to vanquish space. The deer loves the
crowded woods and cramped up hills;
but the antelope is happy only on the
boundless open. When troubles arise
the deer steers for tho haven of brush;
but the antelope steers for the open sea
of the plain. To the antelope the
deer's swiftest pace is only play, and a
run that may be death to fat deer is
only a pleasure stroll for this gay
rover. Outing.

Shiraz is a large and ancient grave
ward; there are no mounds, no tombs,

by grass and weeds. The Christians of

their burial ground, which is adjacent.

EMINENT DOMAIN.
A Right Which Attaches to the Proper Cor
porate Authorities.

pOrate Authorities.
1t is truism, or a principle of COM
mon law as old as civilization, that no
government does or can yield up abso-
lutely to any purchaser its original
ownership to the soil, but in all grants
and sales a right of property remains
in the government, or in the aggregate
body of the people in their sovereign
capacity, to resume such control and
possession as the law-making authority
may deem best to promote the public
good and general welfare.
If the proper authorities propose to
open street, or charter a railroad, or
to open park, or require land for any
other reasonable purpose, and the own
er of lands in the route or space de-
sired refuse to sell, or ask an eXorbitant
price, the state, under its right and
power of eminent domain, has the
power of control, and the acknowl-
edged right to take possession of such
lands, paying therefor such just and
reasonable compensation as ii, and not
the owner, may determine.
The Constitution of the United States
limits the exercise of this power and
right to cases where the public good
demands it, the necessity of which to
be determined by law.
The Constitution of the State of I'LL
nois provides "that the exercise of the
power and right of eminent domain
shall never be so constructed or
abridged as to prevent the taking by
the General Assembly of the property
