THE PAPAL ExCHEQUER.
How the Papacy Is Provided With Funds
fO- Various Purnoses.


The annual expenses of the Papacy
are said to amount to about 100000
francs. The burden is substantially
met by the Peters penny, which was
originally an English idea. But in
1861, after the twenty provinces of the
Papal States had been reduced to five,
the Peters Penny was quickened into
new life in Belgium. The first incite-
ment to the generous endowment of
the Papacy by the free-will offerings of
the faithful, rich and poor, was given
by the diocese of Client. It's example
was quickly followed in other lands
Until the year 1870 the average yearly
result of the Peters Penny was 7,117, 900
francs Since that date it has consti-
tuted the sole income of the Pope, and
in no single year has it been lower than
5000, 600 francs. During the jubilee
year the Bishops of Latin Christendom
have handed in to the Pope the extra
ordinary sum of 32, 800, 900 francs. The
jubilee mass of Leo XIII brought nearly
100000 francs. The Papal treasury
is consequently in a good condition.
The Work for the Extension of the
Faith, founded at Lyons in 1922, pro-
vides the Papacy with fund for mis-
sions; it has contributed from 1922 to
1887 no less a sum than 100000, 900
francs. Its contribution for the last
twelve months amounted to 6,648,O
francs, OF which Germany contributed
only 100000 francs, and Austria only
$4,000 francs, as the reporter observes
with regret. Brussels Courier.

SKATING ON SNOW.
The Exhiierating Pastime Enjoyed by the
Fair Girls of Norway.

'Ehe Fxhiierating Pastime Enjoyed Dy tho
Fair Girls of Norway.
A correspondent gives the following
account of delightful sport which the
inhabitants of Norway enjoy during the
month of March, usually so sloppy and
disagreeable here: There is plenty OF
snow in Norway. There always has
been, and this winter it seems as if the
snow is lingering around only to please
the young ladies, who are bound to
have some fun out of it. You can see
them now in their most convenient and
becoming dark dresses made for the
occasion, marching bravely up hill on
their large wooden skates (ski) or
gracefully sliding like fair visions down
steep hills, and sometimes disappearing
in the deep snow, presently to emerge
again looking like snow fairies. These
wooden skates are peculiar to Norway.
They are about two yards long, ending
in front-in "a curved point. The middle
is provided with a strong leather strap,
closely fitting the foot, and the whole
skate is just wide enough for the foot
to rest upon
Struggling to the top of the hills on
these skates is a very difficult matter,
and would prove almost too much for
the little feet were it not for the assist
ance which their escorts are only too
glad to render. 1t is. exceedingly fas-
cinating to see hundreds and hundreds
OF young men and girls on beautiful
moonlight evening, walking on these
long skates among the dark and mighty
fir and pine trees, or in the long ranks,
hand in hand, plunging down from the
top of hill, singing ard laughing so
that the cold, transparent air is ringing
with joy. And then after some happy
hours spent away from the city, march,
ing home, swinging their burning
torches, which twinkle and sparkle
against the clear blue sky, when the
moon now and then peeps down among
the tree tops, looking pale beside the
dark red light of the torches. The
solemn zine forest around them light
ems up as they pass, while the pure
white snow sparkles like diamonds,
and turns into rudy hue from the
sparks that shower down like rain of
fire.
In spite of the fact that the temper
allure is just above zero, l am sure all
these young Norwegian girls, if they
had the slightest acquaintance with
American slang, would exclaim when
coming home on one of these evenings:
ut was just too lovely for any thing;"
but as they do not use slang in Nor
way, they would simply say: Moth
ing is like a Norwegian winter. IN

Paralyzed by Fright.

Colonel w. r. Smedberg was first
under fire at Gaines Mills, and served
until he lost his leg at the Wilder
ness. He never went into battle with
out feeling sense of fear.
'Did you ever see a man completely
paralyzed by frightp"
Yes; | knew young man who was
so terror-stricken that he could do moth
ing but cry. | knew an officer of the
regular army who could not stand the
ordeal of a battle, and / call him a
brave man for this reason. In the first
battle he did not behave as a good SOL
der. He was dismissed from the SER
vice, but made up his mind that he
would conquer his fear and redeem him
self from the stigma of cowardice. He
was given chance to enter the service
again with the rank of Lieutenant, al
though he had held Captains commits
sion at the time of going into the battle
first In the second engagement he
nerved himself to the task of going In.
but the strain was too heavy for him,
and he broke down again i'm the pres
ence OF his fellow-officers. After this
he retired from the service, confessing
that he could not stand fire. He was a
brave man because he tried in the face
OF death second time to overcome his
weakness. "-ChicdgO NeUs.

METHODIST NUNS.
The New Religious Order Established by
the General Conference.

The New Religious Order Established by
the General Conference.
Methodist nuns are to be novelty in
feminine experience. They were Gre
ated by the Methodist General Confer
ence, after careful consideration of the
subject by the committee on missions.
The idea came from Rev. DIR. j. nj.
Thoburn, to whom it was suggested by
an ex-Catholic priest who had become
Methodist, and who strongly advo-
Gated it. The committee reported
favorably, and the Conference inserted
in the discipline of the church a section
regulating them. They are to be called
deaconesses, and they will be very SINH
lar to the nuns of the Roman Catholic
Church, except that they are not to
take vows of life service or of celibacy.
Every annual conference in which these
teacOnesses are established will have a
board of nine members to control this
kind OF work. Nothing more definite
than that was done by the conference,
but DR.. Thoburn tells your correspond
ept that the Methodist nuns will be
very likely to wear distinctive costumes,
and live in houses by themselves. They
will minister to the poor and the sick,
care for orphans and do other work Of
charity. They will be required to sel.4 9
a probation Of continual service for two
years before being made deaconesses,
and they will have to be at least twenty
five years of age. 1t has long been
u hobby of Rev. DR.. Dix. of
the Trinity Episcopalian Church, to
have such duties performed by regular
orders OF women, and he succeeded
several years ago, in forming an organ
ization of Episcopalian nuns, but they
have not been formally Endorsed by the
denomination, and so the Methodists are
the first Protestant church in America
to attempt the recruiting and Uniform
ing of religious sisters. DR.. Thoburn
says the first of these deaconesses will
be very likely to be seen in Chicago
where there is already an informal or
ganizatiOn of a somewhat similar char
acter; but he believes that in all the large
cities, within year, there will be es-
tabllshed probationary classes. As two
years service will be required before
any woman may become a, deaconess,
there must ensue that amount of delay,
but the work and costuming of the de-
voices may begin at once.
''And what costumes will the deacon
esses wearp" was asked of nearly every
member of the committee responsible
for their creation.
No definite answer could be obtained.
Indeed, the reverend gentlemen did not
seem to have considered that question
particularly, although it will be quick
to come to the front when the order be-
comes really existent. Naturally, a
sober garb will be chosen, but how
nearly it will approach the Disagreement
deemed essential in the Catholic church,
rs destructive agency of feminine
pride, remains to be seen.-N. Y. Ger.

Corporal Punishment.

The matter OF corporal punishment
till remains vexed question with
chool-masters and magistrates. We
ave great sympathy with the school
easter who tries to do his duty and
inds chastisement in school necessary.
reasonable chastisement is useful dis
;ipline; If properly administered, it is
lot harmful to the body. while it often
improves manners and stimulates learn
ng. Teachers have right to some
authoritative decision as to the power
If administering chastisement without
mourning legal liability thereby. This
) not matter for fine sentiment and
ceiling, but for deliberate Judgment and
tction. Let the Education Department
md the Home Office confer, and define
n code the ages under which chill
lren may corporally be punished, and
he mode and extent of administration.
Corporal punishment may produce some
lches and pains, but it less interferes
With health than confinement after
hours or deprivation of food. The
,eacher should not fear to do his duty,
md the law should support him in do
ng it for the child's good and the
of a wholesome discipline.
