Work of "A Franciscan in Italy.

A new apostle has arisen in Italy. He
is a poor Franciscan monk, whose dis
couses have shaken to the center the gay
Italian cities During his course at Pisa
public life was, as it We're, suspended.
Work ceased as on feast days; lawyers,
men of business, and workmen left their
occupations to go and hear him. Lectures,
even those of free-thinking professors
were not given, in order to allow the stu
dents to assist at the sermons. And these
thousands Of hearers, composed OF all
classes Of society, hanging on his lips,
shed involuntary tears, and, beside them
selves with admiration, broke out, not
withstanding the sanctity of the church,
into cries Of applause. This humble
franciscan monk unites in himself all
that the world admires-the faith of the
apostles the wisdom of the doctors, the
eloquence Of the fathers, and the piety Of
the saints Chicago Herald.

Praise the Row

IL otten costs one quite a struggle to do
his simple duty; and when one does his
simple duty in spite of his temptations
to do differently, he deserves credit for
his doing. One has no need to live long
IN this world before finding out this
truth. A bright little boy about two
and a half years old recently showed that
he a~pprehended it. He was on the eve
OF doing something that was very tempt
ing to him.
mo, my son; you mustn't do that"
said his father"
The little fellow looked as if he would
like to do it in spite of his fathers pro-
hloltlon; out he triumphed over his in
clination, and answered resolutely: "All
right, papa; I won't do it,"
There was nj issue there, and the
father turned to something else. The bow
waited a minute, and her said, in a tone
OF surprised inquiry: "Papa, why don't
you tell me, "that's a good boy9'
The father accepted the suggestion.
and commended his son accordingly. A
just recognition of a child's we'll doing is
a parents duly, even though the child's
well-doing ought not to hinge on
such a recognition. And as with little
folks, s5with larger ones. Just COM
mendation is every ones duty. Even

Taking Disease From Books.

Visitors to the Congressional Library
had their attention attracted the other
day by the demeanor of an old man who
entered with the assistance of q crutch,
writes q Washington correspondent of
the New York Mail and Erpress. He had
o bandagc over one eye and n roll of red
flannel enveloped one of his hands. He
stored his crutch away by the side of
his chair, adjusted the bandage over his
eye, and rubbed his side while waiting.
Presently the attendant brought him an
arm1ui of books that seemed to be medi-
cal works. The cripple was soon pour
Ing over these with the deepest interest.
'That's one of them," said the re-
porter's companion.
II see, replied the reporter. $50 de-
voted to books that he climbs up the
Capitol steps and comes here to read,
Notwithstanding his terribly afflicted
frame"
"Well, it's not exactly that" replied
the habitue. '.It's his affection that
brings him here, and it's his afiiction
that he comes. You see he is, rs I said.
one of them. There are enough more.
They come to read up their own cases.
Those books before him speak of blind
ness. lamcness and rheumatism. He is
one Of the best informed men on those
subjects in the city. The more he knows
about the ailments tho worse becomes
his affiiction, and he will probably add
some new ones before he gets through
with that pile of books. When he started
In here he had something the matter

has spread ailments all over himself.
Until there is no point in his body that

his own case, and has improved upon it.
That's about the way with all of them.
Some of them are actually suffering from
some trouble for which they are seeking
! remedy. Others are unconsciously
looking for troubles to have. Men who
have some chronic ailment, for which
doctors have been unable to give them
any relief, go to the library and read all
The works they can find that may, in any
way, apply to their case. Some of them
become experts in particular branches of
medicine. They devote their whole
lives to it, and never seem to think or
speak OF anything else. Some, like this
man. discover that they are in possession
OF a great variety of ailments, and their
researches into medicine becomes very
extensive, though somewhat desultory..
some get cured of one complaint when
they fall into possession of another, but
retain all the old ones and continue
to nurse and train them very carefully
while adding new ones constantly. But
generally they are devoted to one particu-.
lar thing, and they pursue that assidu-
ously. They are one of the peculiar
classes of readers"

Singular Protection Of the EvesIpht

Singular Protection OF the EyesIght,
Writing from Darjeeling to Mature,
the Honorable Ralph Abercrombie says:
Three cases have come under my per-
sonal observation in which brown-skinned
natives, in very different parts of the
world, blacken their faces to protect
them from the intense light and heat.n
Inc examples he gives are those of the
inhabitants of Morocco, as well as of
others along the north of Africa, who
blacken themselves around the eyes to
avert ophthalmia from the glare of hot
sand. The natives of Fiji do the same.
and SO do the natives of Skim hills, and
it is only reasonable to suppose that b
practice of such wide diffusion, and such
striking similarity, is found useful. i. g..

Feminine Bun.Fightars.

A Paris letter has the following: On
Monday the famous amphitheatre at
Mines, q monumental relic of old Ro.
man times, was full to replction with a
crowd OF excited beings who had come
to witness the skill and proves of the
Matador Frutos and his compeers. What
was more, three toreras were to appear,
this being the first time that women have
entered the arenas at Mines. At 3 O'Clock
IN the afternoon the performances began
with a grand procession of Spanish bull
fighters, male and female, who rode
proudly into the incloscd space to the
sound of military music. Three toreras
Ill fancy costumes, all sparkling with fill
gree II bangles, headed the procession.
Then came the quadrille, composed OF
tive toreadors, headed by the great Fru-
tos himself, in gorgeous habllimcnts. AT
the sound of a bugle a splendid black
bull of crossed Spanish breed bounded
snortlng into the ring. The women i'm
mediatcly set to work with their bandc.
rlllas which they flung at the face and
body of the carccring toro. The tips OF
the animals horns were covered with
round knobs of wood or leather while the
women were plying their darts so rs to
prevent accidents, but the projections
were afterwards removed in some in
stances while the men were performing.
A second bull, a red one, which was next
let loose, made straight at one of the to-
reras, a young woman professionally dcs-
lgnatcd Senorita Bonita del Amo. and
Knocked her over in a second, but not,
however, before she had succeeded in
planting two lance-hcaded demons be-
tween his eyes. The woman was discn-
gagged with surprising dizziness by her
male companions, and returned to the
charge with a courageous persistence
of Madame de Valsayre herself.
She was loudly applaudcd by the public
or her performance. A fresh bull was
Introduced, which brought out the finer
play of Frutos, whose first proceeding

'droltness as the bull came near him with
eroclous intent. The torera Bcnito del
Amo then sat on q chair in the middle
the arena and calmly awaited the >on-
Taught OF a fresh animal. In the twink
ing OF an eye she was caught on the
ulrs horns and was tossed high into the

ormance, and no more serious accidents
