THE CARDINALATE.
What the College of Cardinals lists Spir-
ituaI and Ceremonial Significance.

Baltimore sun.
In view of the Pope's selection of Archbishop
Gibbons of Baltimore, member of the Col
lege OF Cardinals, the following facts about the
cardinalate will be found interesting: The Col
lege of Cardinals is the senate and sovereign
council of the Pope in the government and ad
ministration of the affairs of the Catholic Church
in Rome and throughout the world, and is COM
posed OF number of distinguished ecclesiastics
The Office and dignity of member of this body
is termed the cardinalate. A cardinal cannot,
unless invested with the episcopal character, per-
form any act that depends for its validity upon
such a character, nor can he lawfully invade the
jurisdiction of bishop: but apart from his rank
in the church, is always. every where, and under
all circumstances. superior to that OF any bishop
archbishop metropolitan. primate or patriarch.
Although all cardinals are equal among them
selves in the principal things, yet in many points
of costume privilege. local Office and rank there
are distinctions and differences established by
law or custom, the most important of which fol-
low from the division of the cardinals into three
grades namely, of bishops, priests and deacons.
The membership of the Sacred College ia limited
to the maximum of seventy. The number is
seldom complete. In olden times cardinals were
strictly obliged to reside the Pope. The
greatest act that a cardinal can perform is TO
take part in a papal election. When cardinal
is living long distance from Rome the election
has been known to occur before he has time to
reach the city.
The color of a cardinals dress is red unless
he belongs TO religious order. in which case he
retains that of his habit. but the same
shape of dress as the others. The red hat and
beretta or red cap the most widely known
distinctions OF the order. A good anecdote is
told in connection with the red cap. Pope Grsg-
DRY XVI was u great admrer OF certain abbot
in Rome, whose habit was white, and rumor ran
that he would certainly DO made cardinal

A GOOD MUD SINGER
Why Anthony Trollope Wanted HOrs

why Anthony Trollope Wanted Horse
Named After Ignatius Donnelly.
Washington Correspondence Boston Record
Ignatius Donnelly, who is now trying to prove
that Bacon. and not Shakespeare, wrote the
plays bearing the latter's name, was member
of Congress way back in 1868. On one occa-
sion he delivered a terrible philippe against his
colleague, Mr. Washburne. in which he declared
that s.ai the male Washburnes born into the
family had an NJ. G. branded on Them This
hit at the ofice-seeking propensities of the
Washburnes was greeted with shrieks of laugh
ter by Donnellys congressional ASSOCIATES.
Anthony Trollope, the English novelist. was
seated in the gallery during the delivery of Don
nellys speech He was greatly shocked at the
coarseness of the honorable gentleman's remark,
and soon after Quilted the House in disgust. The
following morning Edward Paley. the secretary
of the English legation, was riding down Four
teenth street Espying Trollope. he guided his
horse in the latter's direction. AS he neared the
sidewalk the horse stepped into pool of dirty
water, scattering the novelistquite freely. Paley
began to apologize.

Accounting for "Fiy Time"


What you want is to do your work in April

This is quite possible. if you devote persistent
thought and care to this detail But it must be
persistent care The wild raids made by negli.
gent housekeepers, early in September, on the
armies which have grown up on account OF
their own carelessness In April and May, are Of
no real use. They are merely the struggles OF
defeated foe, exasperated. 1t is far mora
neat, more humane and more effective to send
round q servant early every morning in the
spring, when the flies seek the sunny window
panes in each room, and with wet cloth kill
them then and there. In an hour a neat and
prompt maid will 60 thus to every window in a
large house, and in a month she will have killed

be no ''hy -time."
If you will remember that each of these large,
torpid flies who energies from the crypt behind q
wndow-sash, or the dust heap in the back of q
bookcase, may lay 2, 900 eggs that in less than
six weeks these eggs may represent 1000 flies.
you see the Importance to your patients OF put

doubted if the number of 1000 eggs is often laid
by one fly. Six hundred, the smallest number
which has ever been assigned by observers, lis
probably nearer the number which are Matched
in fact. Many of the flies Matched do not come
to maturity. As to the period of their growth.
the authorities differ. If, however, we limit the
reproduction from each fly to three hundred
with a new brood in activity at the date of each
five weeks, the result is bad enough to quickena
humane activity in the spring:
One fly on the Goth of March
is represented by 500 on the Oath of April,
and by 300x300=90, 900 on the 2Sth of May.

The early Cets worshiped the dawn and the
sunrise. 1t is more than probable that the Irisa
preference of the color green, for their flag and
their sashes, arose from mistake among thosa
who had lost thorough knowledge of the old
Irish language The sun, in Irish, is called by
word pronounced like our word green" and it la
likely that the Irish fondness for that color arose
from the words exact likeness in sound to their
word for the sun. In the same way, when we
talk about green houses, we think they are
them during winter Yet it is far more prob.
able that "green" here is the Irish word mean
ing, not the color. but the sun; because green
houses are built as to catch the suns rays ana
store them up while it is hidden by clouds, as
happens more than half the time in showery
Ireland.

Mrs. Coverings Part in the Festival.

operated TO reduce the number Of sa-

Illinois, while the number of saloons
and the amount Of drunkenness and
