Here's another domestic horror.

HereS another domestic horror.
In an Allegheny household the cook and the
housemaid amused themselves while their mis-
tress was confined to her room by sickness, by
throwing kitchen chairs from one to the other
in the back yard. This happened between mid
night and A. M, and the two lovely specimens
of womanhood who had been treated with
almost insane generosity by their employers,
invited two or three men to join them in their
diversions. Happily, both of them were dis
charged next day without shred of character
But both will get employment. because good
servants are scarcer than diamonds in Pitts
burg and the vicinity.

DRIFTING THE RUG.
How 8 Little Tot Made Hcr Mammals Yis-
 itors Feel Uncomfortable.

A couple of ladies who were recently call ing in Brookline, says the Boston Courier, were uShered into parlor upon the floor of which lay rug with middle of solid crim- son. After they had crossed this brilliant expanse they were mortified by the discov- cry that every footstep they had taken was clearly printed in dust upon tho otherwise stainless surface of the rug.
 As they sat guiltily regarding the soiled rug the small daughter of the hostess came into the room, and the minute she entered her eyes fell upon the footprints.
 'Oh, just see there what you've done," she cried. ''You just see what my mamma will do to you; she had that rug all cleaned nice this morning for company tonight, She told me she'd send me to bed without any ice-cream if I stepped on it.,
 This was all delivered in tone of voice which left no room for dou bt of its sincerity, and the callers were divided between sense of their guilt and an inclination to laugh at the manner in which it was brought home to them. Fortunately for their peace of mind the hostess entered at that moment and explained that the rug was one which showed every trace of dust, and that she found it necessary to take strong measures to keep 1t free from the tracks of her chll- dren's feet, but that it was not an offense to step on 1t for which she could not forgive her friends.

THE CATHOLIC CONGRESS.

To the irrepressible west must be given the credit for suggesting and pressing the matter of a lay Catholic congress, to be held in Baltimore in connection with the centennial celebra- ton of the appointment of Bishop Car roll to the see of Baltimore, and the in auguration of Catholic university on grand scale, at Washington. Cardinal Gibbons recognizing the importance of the affair feared to sandwich it between two such other events, but now that it has been held, the country has been astonished at it's success.
 The novelty of a lay Catholic con- gress had led many to curiously await its denouement, some wondering if the lay Catholic would exercise the rights of an American freeman, as though the Catholic mind has not liberty. The country has witnessed free and able exposition of the varied subjects handled and declaration of loyalty to the na- tion on the part of Catholics, which is but larger repetition of the work of the Catholics a century ago. It is worthy of note that Daniel Rudd, a colored man, the editor of the Catholic Tribune, was of the committee of twelve selected to express to President Harri- son the sentiments of the congress and to invite his presence.
 The president of the congress was Ex- Governor Carroll of Maryland, grandson of Charles Carroll 'of Carrollton," the last survivor of the signers of the declar- ation of independence, who passsd away i'll 1882 at the ripe age of 75, but not without having founded and endowed St Charles college. The American colo nies had no truer friends or abler counsellors than was this man and his cousin, John Carroll, who went to Can . ada on mission for General Washing ton, who was also his trusted adviser, who in 17S9 founded Georgetown col minister to France, was chosen to be the first bishop in the United States. The congress was welcomed by his successor, Cardinal Gibbons, himself a native of Baltimore, baptized, confirmed. made a priest, then a bishop, received the pal Hum of an archbishop and finally vested as a cardinal, all in the same cathedral whose corner stone was laid in 1906 by Bishop Carroll. With such successors of the heroes of the church and colonies to give tone to the congress it is no wonder that it has served to emphasize the fact that the Catholic can while rendering to God the things that are His, also render unto Caesar the things that are Ciesar's.

i Mighty Sociable Snake.

All the people of Jackson, Mch., are not liars, and one of the most truthful writes in the Saturday Star about a snake which he caught in Whitmore lake while fishing through the ice last winter. The reptile was very large and beautifully colored, and when the hook was removed from its mouth colled itself and sprang fifty feet into the air several times. It then sat down on a chunk of ice and took lunch with the Jack son man, and after smoking mild cigar slipped back into the water. This summer 1t came to the Jackson mans house as a star boarder, and it saves his little girl from drowning every time she falls into the water, lifts pickles out of the barrel with its forxed tongue and keeps the lawn spriukled by filling up on water and spout Ing it over the yard, although it acted 2 little difident about the last job until the Jackson man removed his keep-off the grass Bign.

A DIALOGUE OF FACTS.

MoTHER-"Kate, how is the fair get ting on.'
 KATE-"Oh, splendid. Crowded houses every night and such elegant presents to take chances on. Prominent among them is a fine piano and organ to be voted away to the holder of the lucky numbers.''
 MOTHER-"WeIl, now Kate you sur prise me. Pianos and organs are pretty expensive presents to give away. Father Treanor must have got a good bargain. Whose make are they ?"
 Really, now mother I am equally surprised that you should ask that question; Shoninger's, of course. They make the best. Nearly every house l go into has one, and I am beginning 2 to think it is time I had one myself"
 MOTHER Surely, now you arouse my interest. Chances on such fine instru- ments are not offered every day. Of course we will take some tickets. Should we win, all right; if not, we will make a visit to Shoninger's and buy one of their elegant pianos. They must do an extensive business, and a company that transacts the largest volume of business is always best equipped to make low prices. B. SHONINGER & Go,
