people. He met with considerable opposition,
and the Humiliati attempted to have him
assassinated. In consequence the order was
abolished. The cardinals charities were
muniicent, not only his ecclesiastical reve-
nues, but his personal fortune and the works
of art of his palace being devoted to the relief
of the poor and suffering His great exertion
during the plague of 1876 was too much for
his physical strength, and his health became
completely broken. His death was regarded
as national calamity. He was buried be-
meath the high altar in the cathedral of
Milan. and his tomb became a shrine visited
by pilgrims from all parts of the world. He
was canonized by Paul V in 1910. His statue
was erected at Aroma, his birthplace.
Miss Lewis statue represents him standing
in an attitude of silent prayer, a crucifx in
his right hand, the rope of penitence around
his neck. and his eyes raised to heaven in ele-
quent supplication. The surplice over the
purple cassock is exquisitely wrought; so is
the short Roman stole, with the crown and
motto '.Hnmilitas,n y which st. Charles substi-
tuted everywhere for the family arms.
This first statue is the property of Mr..
Richard Dixon, of Brooklyn. A larger copy
of the statue will probably be ordered by
Father Ward, rector of the Church of st
Charles Borromeo, in Brooklyn.

A STATUE OF A SAINT.

1t Is the Work of an American Woman,
Studying Art In Europe.
Miss Edmonia Lewis, a clever young Amer
lean woman now pursuing the study Of art
I'm Rome, has just finished and sent to the
United States beautiful statue of St Charles
Borromeo.
st. Charles Borromeo was one of the most
notable saints on the Catholic calendar. His
family was one of the noblest and most pow
erful in Italy. st. Charles was born in 1888
He studied civil and canon law at Pavia, and
took his degree in 1859. At the close of the
same year his maternal uncle, Cardinal de
Medici, became Pope Plus ", and success
lively made him archbishop Of Milan, cardi-
nal, grand penitentiary and president of the
Roman council. He lived in the midst of
great splendor, but in his own habits was tenn
perate. studious and devoted to the duties Of
his station. On the death OF his elder brother

pered their suspi-
cions; and one fine morning Edinburgh was
horrifed with history of which the main
points are these:
Mrs. Gordon Baillie is Mary Ann Suth-
erIand, daughter of a Dundee laundress, and
las is alleged of a Scotch earl From her
father she inherited very aristocratic ap-
pearance, and from her mother no small
share Of personal beauty. Following her
mothers example she early became the mis-
tress of a wealthy old man, and learned
enough of fashionable life to fit her for a
thorough adventures. She is, in truth,
quite accomplished and intelligent; has
travelled extensively, and speaks two or
three languages. She was once impris-
oned nine months for defrauding trades
men, and thereafter devoted herself ex-
clusively to "beneyolence.n She has collected
large sums for various missions but she
herself was always the s.missionf that en-
joyed the proceeds In Australia she was
the guest of an Episcopal bishop, got in debt
to many people, was suddenly called home
by the death of relative" and left the good
bishop fine account to settle with the trades
men to whom he had introduced her. When
all this was published, the woman fed with
her husband" the creditors seized on what
little she had left, the papers chewed the cud
of modification and ''sassiety" was pros
tratedL
But Mrs. Baillie will not soon have another
chance to deceive the elect of the queens
realm. for she has now been sentenced to five
years imprisonment in Edinburgh, and her
husband who, it appears, assisted her in her
swindling operations, has been s'sent upn for
eighteen months

To a correspondent ofthe New York
Herald, Knute Nelson is reported to
have saia II shall decline a re-
nomination to congress next year.
Mr.. Nelson's action in this respect is
a purely voluntary one, as he repre-
sents q Scandinavian district, where
he is immensely popular and from
which he could be returned as long rs
he desired. "My reasons" Mr.. Mel
son explained, ''are wholly political.
Although u Republican / am strong
advocate of revenue reform. If my
party gains control Of the house in
1889, as believe they will, my tariff
principles would Operate to my dis
advantage. Although should then
be serving my fourth ternin congress
/ could not hope TO secure either a
craftsmanship or place OH any iln-
portant committee. In short l should
be regarded as a sort of political
black sheep, Notwithstanding ]

tuents. You will see from this, tn at
whatever usefulness I possess, would
be Immediately neutralized and for
this reason 1 have decided to close
my political career with my present

There is q wealth of queer names
all through this region. 1t is but little
while since we passed Rat Portage, and
now we come to Medicine Hat, the first
of which names could not get the origin
of, but the second / did, and common
place enough I found it. Medicine Cap
was an old medicine man OF the Black
foot tribe of Indians, who had his wig
wan on the site of the present town, and
SO when the town was laid out they
.:honored' him by calling it Medicine
Hat thinking, probably, that chat
was higher toned than ''cap!'
Apropos of the change of names, see
that the Ottawa parliament recently
changed the name of Boundary peak to
Pope's peak. in honor of the minister Of
railways; Mount Hermit to Mount Tup-
per. after the minister of finance; Mount
Carroll to Mount Macdonald, after the
premier; Mount Cunningham to Mount
Mackenzie, after the ex-premier, and an
unnamed mountain to be called Mount
Macpherson. Boundary peak and Mount
Hermit should never have been changed,
as their titles are significant and possess
a certain degree of poetry; but the others
meant nothing then, and are no heavier
now. The people now honored are said to
have been intimately connected with the
inception and execution of the Canadian
Pacific railway. ] should prefer to see
such names as Rat Portage, Kicking
Horse and similar monstrosities changed
: to something understandable. And then
think of such a name as Illicillwaet!
Even Boston culture would stagger at
such name as that! What then could
be expected in the wild, untamed ''rowdy
west?''-Cor. Detroit Free Press.

The Reputation of Wealth.

Next to the possession of wealth in IN
convenience is the reputation OF having
it. A friend tells with a good deal of
drollery how he has suffered this summer
from the undeserved fame of fortune.
s'You know" he says ''that the KS
went abroad in June, and they offered us
the use of their cottages at Wareview for
the summer Of course we were delighted,
and if I hadn't made mismove in the
first place we should have had beaut-
full time. Such trifing thing, too. 1t
was only buying dollars worth of
postage stamps at the village postofice,
but it came very near spelling our whole
summer" Of course he was asked to ex=
plain, and did SO by saying that in a place
where people bought single stamp for a
letter after the epistle was written, the
purchase of fifty stamps at once took on
all the magnitude of a magnificent finan-
cial transaction. The purchaser was from
that moment regarded as a man OF
enormous wealth. He was charged ex-
travagantly for everything, his steps were
haunted by committees soliciting sub
scriptions for the church and charity, and
he was, in word, subjected to all the
annoyance of being wealthy without the
satisfaction of having the reality of which
this was the unpleasant shadow. "And
hereafter, '.he concluded, II shall never
buy more than single stamp in the
country - Boston Cor. Providence

suppose Paris has never had 'tspeil

the most glorious, warm, bright summer

me it is especially cherries, coming up

ally eloquent in phrases which express
this complaint. s'Phthisie pulmonaire, ,
sounds like a sneeze; ''infammations

ing tbg statement of my feelings in the

':Des affections DIES poumons" are more
interesting than could be the affections of

Wind as a Motive Power.

Visitors to California from the English
downs that face the sea for hundreds Of
miles have often expressed their surprise
that our strong winds are not more fully
utilized as motive power. One of the
largest of these motors is used for driving
flour mill at Great Yarmouth. It has
four sails, which are 40 feet 0 inches
long by 10 feet inches wide, and ex-
tend 100 feet from point to point. With
wind of twenty-five miles an hour, the
windmill has fifty-five horse power, and
will easily make 100 barrels of flour in
twenty-four hours. The building con-
tanning the Touring apparatus and sup
porting the motor is of eleven stories,
stands 80 feet above the foundation, and
is So feet in diameter at the base and 16
at the top. San Francisco Chronicle.

Ii we ever became vindictive toward
a fellow man, and desired to punish
MIN we would deprive him
OF his hobby; without that he
would be lonesome In crowd, and
crowded in wilderness, and would
seek what he had lost and find il not.
The business man with q hobby that
he rides is happy man; but If the
hobby rides him. the business will
suffer sooner or later. The man with
out hobby will be found IN the club
room, the billiard room, or card room.

his bird skins or eggs, bugs or beetles,

Senator Sabin thinks that the deep

struction of such other canals and
waterways as will enable ocean
steamers to load at Duluth for the
foreign markets of the world will save
in actual expense to the agricultural.
mercantile and manufacturing inter-
ests of the State a far greater sum OF
money than we would pay under even
the present tariff in the next hall
century. Neverless, the Senator
thinks that all this can be accom-
plished with the duty entirely strik-
en- off sugar, lumber and salt, and re-
duced at least one-half on steel rails

oped on this subject this will-be his
