"The divinity students broke out
again, said the young man that boards
on South Division street. 1--WE were
sitting at dinner today, and Miss Stages
she up and says one of her pupils will
never set the river on fire. The divinity
student looked up and said: 4 see that
you, like other good people, are in error
occasionally What do you mean2'
said Miss Stages, getting red in the face.
4 mean, said the divinity student, that
when you talk about setting the river on
fire you are using an old saying that's
got off the track. 1t used to be, ssHe'n
never set the Thames on fire." and
people when they said it had in mind the
river Thames; on the contrary it means a
miller's sieve, called a tense, which was
used in the old wind and water mill DAYS.
This tense had a wooden rim, which slid
back and forth in a wooden frame. If
the man that worked it was energetic in
his work he sometimes set the tense on
fire from friction. Hence it was said of
a dull, slow person that he would never
set the tense On fire, and the saying has
been corrupted to its present form. -

evening presided over by Cardinal Glib
bons, at which the plans and purposes of
the new Catholic university to be built in
this city were explained by Bishop Ireland

university of the establishment of the
Catholic hierarchy of America would be
celebrated in the autumn of 1889, and at
the same time the beginning of the
second century would be celebrated by the
opening of the divinity department of the
university, to be followed as rapidly as
possible by the departments of philosophy,
law, medicine. etc.

Go where you will you can find no.
where such a bright, good tempered,
laughter loving and ~innately polite people
as these Japs. They are full of jokes and
are as unselfish as human nature can be;
generous, trustful and faithful, patient,
gentle and brave. They have q strong
pride, too, that is nowhere more clearly
shown than in the fact that though a Jap
seldom passes a beggar without giving
him something, yet there are compare
lively few in the country. If you are
annoyed by being followed about by a
curious, but note, a respectful, crowd,
you have only to hold out a coin and
they melt away like shekels at a church
fair; they feel hurt at being taken for
mendisants.--Tokio Cor. New York Tri-

The v~onezue1an's National Weapon.

The machete, a broad sword or knife,
about two or three feet long, and carried
without a sheath, is the universal arm of
Venezuela and Central America. In the
southern states of this country the prin-
cipal use for the machete is for cutting
sugar cane, but in South America it re-
places the pocket knife, the axe and the
sword. The llanero or haciendero is
never seen without it. He cuts bread
with it, peels sugar cane, cuts bananas
and other fruit from the trees, chops
wood, cuts his way through the primeval
forests, slaughters hens n pigs and de-
tends himself against the attacks of wild
beasts and serpents. There is no better
arm against the serpents than a machete,
for with a single stroke the native will
cut them in two.-E. De Hesse Wartegg.

Power of the Sugar Trust.

New York, Jan. 26.-The sugar trust
gave another evidence of its power yes
terday when it ordered Moller, Sierck &
Co. to close their refinery. One of the
firm said that the shut down would not
occur until the raw sugar OH hand had
been used up. In the meantime the firm
notified its employees to look out for new
jobs. This is the fourth sugar refinery
that has been closed since the sugar trust
was perfected in this city. 1t was learned
that a movement is under way to build a
gigantic refinery in Philadelphia, and the
supposition in Lower Wall street is that
the new refinery will be used by the trust
to club recalcitrant Philadelphia %refiners,
who now refuse to join the trust.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, Jan. 26.-The

4 FOOLISH WISH.

You have heard" said a youth to his sweet
heart who stood
While he sat on a corn-sheaf at daylights
decline
you have heard of the Danish boys whistle
of wood
wish that the Danish boys whistle were
mine"
And what would you do with it? Tell me, -
she said
While an arch smile played over her beauti-
face
Il would blow it he answered, "and then my
fair maid
Would fly to my side and would there take
her place"
rs that all you wish for? Why, that may be
yours
Without any magic ~ the fair maiden cried !;
"A favor so slight ones good nature secures.
And she playfully seated herself by his side.
Il would blow again, said the youth "and the
charm
Would work that not even modestys check
Would be able to keep from my neck your
white am"
She smiled and she laid her white arm round
his neck.
Yet once more would blow, and the music
Would bring me third time an exquisite
bliss
And would lay your fair cheek TO this brown
one of mine,
And your lips stealing past it would give me
a kiss"
The maiden laughed ont in her innocent glec-
What a fool of yourself with the whistle
you'd make
For only consider how silly 'twould be
To sit there and whistle for what you might
take in
