MAXWELL IS SICK.
Dr. Priest Has Ordered Him to Bed, but
 He Prefers to Walk About.

"Maxwell" ia sick. For the first time since his incarceration a physi- elan has been called upon to prescribe for him. Malarial fever is hls ailment. For some days he has been looking badly and Monday his appearance was so noticeably bad that pr. Priest. the iail physician. who always stops to speak to the little foreigner whenever he visits the institution, which is once every morning. asked him fl he was not sick. He replied that he was not sick. He replied that he was feeling little badly and had been for few days. He did not think his illness was serious, however, and be would no doubt be well again in a day or two. Dr. Priest examined him and found his tongue coated and that he had high fever. It was a genuine case of malariai fever. The doctor prescribed for him and ad- vised him to go 10 bed, but Maxwell preferred to remain up, stating that he thought he feit better when up aEd about. Although he had been unweN several days he never uttered q word of complaint. and 1t would probably not be known yet that he was sick had not Dr. Priest himself noticed 1t. This is ittuildiltY bl tbc IitA. lic ID uh- willing 10 give way to his feelings, and no doubt thought that if he had com plained of being unwell people might think he was weakening.

Last Monday, however, he looked SO badly that i inquired if he was not well, and he admitted he was sick. have no doubt that tho paleness which people have noticed In him and described to his weakening on account of the decision of the United States Supreme Court in his case, was merely due 10 his illness. If 1 bad not asked him about it question whether he would have ever complained of be- ing unwell."

 Secretary Endicltt has issued orders prohibiting smoking in the war de- partment. There is rule of this kind in the postolllce department, but it seems to be dead letter.

The Pope,s Rich Gifts.

The correspondent of the Baltimore Sun in Rome has furnished an interest ing description of the gifts of Pope Leo on the occasion of This jubilee. He says the gifts have come in so rapidly that two additions have already been made to the building in which they are to be exposed. So far, 1000 cases of articles have been handled, and the end Is not yet. Up to January l3, presents to the value of Sl0, 900, GOO have passed through the hands of the Vatican inspectors. Even that sum has been exceeded in money. The United states has outstripped every other country in cash donations. The exact sum of the whole money gift can not ascertained, all the contributions not being on hand yet. This manner of testifying to Pope Leo the fealty of the Catholics of the United States was strongly recommended by the Ameri- can Bishops who gave their attention to it principally. though many exqui- site presents from their diOceses will be received. It has won the admira- ton of the Pope, who is more pleased with it than that Of any other country, since 1t furnishes him with ready means to spread the Catholic Church through Europe and parts of the far East, en- terprises into which he has thrown his heartiest energies.
 In proportion to the number of Cath. olics in the various contributing coun- tries, Belgium and Hungary have sent the most gifts. Everything used in the Catholic service is there in prolusion.
 The Irish Catholic besides their heavy money contributions. are repre- sented by rolls of Irish lace, cases of yestments. golden altar vessels and ornaments in abundance, and the finest exhibition of porcelain in the Ex xoosi- ton. Patriotism and religion have been blended by them in this portion of their offerings as instanced in a beautiful oval mirror, framed in the ware and surmounted by the tiara and keys of Peter. At the base is the harp of Erin resting on bed Of shamroeks. Many of the tributes from Ireland re- main unpaeked.

How the Air Brake Works.

Said a railroad man to me today 1T Il bet not one in a hundred ot the people who travel on railroad trains understands how the pressure of ar $ used to apply the brakes to tram. When the air brake was first inyenteu the air was turned into the cylinder under each car when tho car was to os stopped. and the pressure was exertea to force the brakes up against the wheels. But at the present day 'ue brakes are held against the wheels py springs, and tho air is turned into the cylinders to push the brakes awas from the wheels as long as the train h in motion. When it is desired to stop the train the air is let out. and thea the springs apply the brakes and stop the train. This last method of using air pressure has great advantages os0' the old way on the score of safety.
 Whenever an accident happens to o' train, one of the first effects it is apt 'o have IS to rupture the air pipes leauihH from the engine to the cylinders unue' the cars; and that of Itself stops tnc train instantly.
