a Contrivancc that Can BE Made Easily
and Clicaply by Anybody.
A German paper says that the follow
ing process viii make blotting paper
available for making copies OF letters.
Soak four parts of the best clear glue
in a mixture of five parts Of pure water
and three parts of ammonia liquor until
the glue is dissolved, and add three parts
of granul4ted sugar and eight parts OF
glycerine, stirring the mixture well and
letting it come to the boiling point.
While it is hot paint it with II broad
brush on clean white blotting paper until
the latter is thoroughly soaked and Il thin
coating remains IN the surface. Let it
dry for two or three days.
The writing to be copied must be done
with ordinary aniline ink, and to transfer
it the blotting paper should lie wet with
a sponge, and then, after it has stood for
q minute or two, the latter should be
pressed down softly upon the damp sur
face.
After q few moments it can be taken
off. and there will be an impression on
the blotting paper, from which several
copies can be taken, and which can be
partially renewed when the impressions
grow faint by dampening the blottira
paner again.

Their Powerful Muscles and Other falu-

In Madrid, they call street porters, or
messengers, moZos de cordel, the latter
word referring to the cord they carry for
tying up bundles or lashing packages to-
gether. We have the same thing here,
only we call them cargadores.
They are q class bythemselves, wearing
brass numbered badges, n strictly hon
est. They are trusted to any extent, and
are most admirable men. They carry en-
ormous loads on their shoulders, and
sometimes literally break their hearts by
rupture from carrying too heavy loads.
1t is a curious thing that a c%argador
will carry on his shoulders II load he can
not lift with his arms. The load Is, OF
course, first placed there by other men.

and torti}las were a bad diet for making

your watch to the jewelers., to bring Il
bag of silver dollars from the bank, to

How To Drink Milk.

Some complain that they annot drink
milk without being distressed" by it.
The most ommon reason why milk is
not well borne is due to the fact that peo-
pie drink it too quickly. If a glass of it
is swallowed hastily it enters into the
stomach and then forms in one solid,
curdled mass, difficult of digestion.
If, on the other hand, the same quantity
is slipped, and three minutes at least are
occupied in drinking it, then on reaching
the stomach it is so divided that when
coagulated, as it must be by the gastric
juiee, while digestion is going on, instead
of being in one hard, condensed mass,
upon the.outside of which only the diges-
tive fluids can act, it is more in the form
of a sponge, and in and out of the entire
bulk the gastric juice can play freely and
perform its functions American An.

at the Century Plant.
There was a man at the vegetable mar
ket with d small and sickly-looking CEN
fury plant in a cheap pot, and he was
mad.
"Look a-herel'' he said to the owner of
each flower stand in succession, didn't
you sell me this ere plant five yearsago?"
Each one answered in the negative.
Then he made such II row that q police
man came up and told him to hush.

about five years ago. They told me that
it was % years old, and that it would
bloom this spring. I've fooled away
enoughtime on the thing tobuild a house.
I've set up nights to nurse it, and I've
gone home by day to keep it from freez-

"Wen, what's the matter?"
"They lied to mel I've had two botan-

"Never!''
He lifted the pot high in the air and
dashed the life out of the poor plant, and
then sat stifly down on q bench, folded
his arms and said:

Every one has noticed, while driving,
how rarely a horse steps on a stone even
when going very rapidly. A well in
formed writer quotes an old cavalry man
as saying that a horse never steps on a
man Intentionally. 1t is u standing order
with cavalry that should n man become
d~ismounted, he must lie down and DO
perfectly still. T. he does so, the entire
company will pass over him and he will
not be injured. Ahorsc notices where he
is going, and is on the lookout for a firm
foundation to put his foot on. 1t is all
instinct with him, therefore, to step over
a PROSTATE man. The injuries caused by
n runaway horse are nearly always in
flicted by the animal knocking down, and
not by his stepping on them.

THE PoPE's TRIPLE CROWN.
The Ribbons, the Gold, the Pearls, and
How They Are Guarded.

now hhey are SuarNaSus
The pope did not always wear the
three-crown tiara. At first they wore an
ordinary mitre. with one crown around
it, and then a second was added toit, then
a third, when it took the name of triregno
(three kinsdoms}.
This explains why sometimes the simple
mitre is used and sometimes called the
triregno.
We read of the form and s~plendorof the
pontiical mitres in pontifical lnven-
tories. Some of them weighed as much
as ten pounds, or even more; they were
decorated with canoes and stones, inlaid
with figures, rings and other precious Or
naments, fastened to the mitre like droop-
ing pearls, crosses and other kinds of
jewel then known.
In 1883 Eugene ". had a mitre made in
France by Lorenzo Ghiberti, which
weighed five pounds, of which four
pounds were of precious pearls ard gems
and cost over 10000 gold ducats. 1t was
the mitre which Eugene ". afterward
pledged to Florence for $4,000, which he
gave to the Greeks.
Till the end of the last century there
were four precious mitres in existence
two made for Plus V. and Paul ", the
latter of whom spent $1,000 on his mitre,
and two were made for Paul VI. The
two first were kept in Castle st. Angelo
and were taken out for great ceremonies.
When taken out they were guarded by
the Pope's jeweler, nd wereaccompanied
by the same jeweler ali through the pro-
cession and ceremonies of the day. Even
when placed on the altar they were under
the jewelers. custody. The other two
mitres were kept in the pontifical sacris-
try.
Plus VI first mitrc was made in 1850.
1t had o GOLD foundation, decorated with
gold threads and pearls threaded with
silver, also many precious stones OF all
kinds. At the back it was decorated with
the pontifcal arms. Thcribbons were also
covered with gold, pearls and diamonds.
The second mitre of the Pope was made
in 1881, and was decorated in the same
manner, only in a different pattern, and
the foundation was in silver instead of
gold.
All these four mitres were broken up
by Plus VI. in 1897, in order to pay the
French what was stipulated in the peace
of Tolentine.
Not one of the mitres offered to Leo
XIII. for his jubilee is of the value of
either one of the above stated mitres.
But even the present ones are valuable
enough, especiallyfor these days.-Catho-
lie News.

SOME years ago the M. B. general confer ence, after long discussion, admitted to it's body lay delegates. Now the same body at New York is spending day after day discuss ing whether the term lay delegate necessarily implies male delegate only, and the sense of the majority seems to be that it does.
