Pope Nicholas v.

Pope Nicholas V Thomas Paren-
tucellD was born at Pisa in 1898. Edu-
Gated at Florence and Bologna, he
of which he subsequently became
bishop by the appointment of Pope
Eugenius ". During the stormy
period of the councils of Basel and
Florence, and in the difficult nego-
tiations of the German and other
churches which arose therefrom, he
conducted himself with such ability
and prudence that on the death of
Eugenius w he was chosen TO sue
coed him on March 6, 1447. At this
time the Antelope Felix V still
maintained himself, although sup
ported by o very small party. But
Nicholas V prevailed upon him to
abdicate, and thus restore the peace
of the church by terminating the
schism in 1449. In the Judgment of
the literary world, however, the great
distinction of the pontificate of Nicho-
las V lies in the eminent service which
he rendered to that revival of letters
that dates from his time.
The comparative repose in which he
found the world at his accession en-
abled him to employ for tho discovery
and collection Of those masterpieces Of
ancient learning measures which were
practically beyond the resources of his
predecessors. He dispatched agents to
all the great centers of the east and
west to purchase or copy every impor-
tant Greek and Latin manuscript. The
number collected by Nicholas was
about five thousand. He enlarged and
improved the Roman university. He
remodeled and may have been said to
have created the Vatican library.
Eminent scholars from the east and
west were invited to Rome, and he en-
deavored to check the progress of the
Turkish arms by arousing the Chris
tan princes of Europe to an effort for
the saving Of Constantinople. But
Nicholas did not live to see the fruits
of tho revival of letters which he had
inaugurated, dying March "a, l455, at

A few years ago the Band of Work
ers, or some other church society,
gave an entertainment in Hartford,
and Mark was requested to tell q
story. He consented and large audi
encc was the result. When he mount
ed the platform he insisted that the
gas be turned down low. Up on the
stage stood Mr.. Clemens, with a
strong light from reflector shining
full in his face, while all the rest was
darkness. He presented weird spec
tacle, with his hair standing up all
over his head. In deep, sepulchral
voice he began and said lie would tell
the tale of 1.-The Golden Arm" This
tale tells how young girl had an ar
tificial arm made of gold; she died and
was buried, and her father finally
thought he would exhume her body
and take the arm that he might sell it.
Accordingly one dark, stormy night,
he set out on his mission. All this
while Marks voice kept growing deep
err and more sepulchral. The father
dug up the body, obtained possession OF
the coveted arm, and started back
home.
The wind was bowling, the road was
dark and gloomy, and the guilty pa
rent nervous and very much frighten-
ed Suddenly, above the mournful
cry of the soughing wind, came low,
dismal wall, saying: Where's my
golden arm2 Where's my golden
arma" and glancing over his shoulder
the terrified father saw the ghost of
his daughter, her good arm geSticulat-
ing wildly, pursuing him. He ran on
home, and all the while came the wall
of the child, saying: where's my
golden arm2" Upstairs he went this
cry still ringing in his ears. He UNI
dressed and timidly crept into bed.
Out on the stairs, nearer, ever nearer,
he heard the wall, and in terror lis
tened to the patter of advancing foot
steps. Suddenly the door was opened
and the ghostly figure of his daughter
advanced to his bedside, crying,
''Where's my golden arm2" The IA
ther, frightened almost to insensi-
bility, covered up his head in the
blankets, and the spook placed her
hand on the coverlets and cried,
Where's my golden arm?" Just at
this moment Mark gave a jump,
spread out his arms wildly, and in q
voice that could have been heard in
Massachusetts shrieked, SIN hook, by
lingo" At meeting of the Band of
Workers held a short time afterwards
it was unanimously voted not to ask
Mark Twain to tell any more stories.

That Awful Boy.

For q time after the various drop-a-

the chewing gum and various other
articles which they supply for cash in
advance. One morning, however, an
inspector upon unlocking a machine
at the New York end of the Brooklyn
bridge, was amazed to find that his
stock had disappeared without leaving
the necessary cash to balance ac-
counts. For some hours he was un-
able to explain the shortage, but his
final conclusion was, that an alert boy
had attached string to q coin with q

Polluted Ice.

Users of ice must read up on the re.
cent investigations of Kedzie, Pengree
and Prudden, showing that ice taken
from polluted streams is not purified
by freezing. Kedzie tells us that if
taken from streams containing rotting
vegetable matter or sawdust it will
produce diarrheas. In 1875, at Rye
Beach, an epidemic broke out in a
large hotel, and was traced at last to
ice taken from an adjacent pond. The
water of this pond in summer was foul
and sinking with putrescent matter.
Organic matter as well as bacteria,
is not eliminated by any ordinary de-
gree of cold. Too many of our
streams arc the recipients of sewage.

BUILDING ASSOCIATIONS.

How They Are Operated and Loans Are
Made-How to buy n Home.
The persons composing a building
and loan association agree to pay into
their treasury a certain sum, at fixed
periods, on each share that they own,
until their shares through such pay
ments and the accumulated profits
reach their par value, or, as it is tech
nically termed, mature" The stated
payments called 'dues'o, their fire.
quency, and the par value of the stock
vary. The general rule is that 81 shall
be paid on every share once a month
until par of 5000 is reached. When
the shares mature" the assets in the
treasury are divided among the share.
holders. Just as fast as the money is
paid in it is offered in the shape of
loans to the members-and to the
members only-the security taken be-
ing mortgage on real estate and an
assignment to the association of the
borrowers stock.
The amount which member is en-
titled to borrow equals the par value
of his or her shares. Thus, in an asso-
citation where the par value is 5000, u
member who wants 81, 900 must own
five shares. AS every member has an
equal right to become borrower, the
disposition of the loans is made by put
ting the money up at auction, from
time to time, and awarding the loan
to that member who will give the
highest premium above the regular in
terest rate. The Building and Loan
association laws provide that the ac-
ceptance of these premiums shall not
constitute usury. In order that the
dues and interest shall be paid regu-
larly, the. by laws provide that they
shall be received only by the secre-
tary, and by him only at the stated
meetings; and there is small fine for
non-paylnent, which is increased from
meeting to meeting, a delinquency for
certain period causing the forfeiture
of the stock, or giving ground for the
foreclosure of q mortgage.
The interest is paid monthly, and
the interest money, with the dues and
any other receipts, goes into the treas
ury to be loaned at once. 1t is appar.
ent, therefore, that building and
| loan association whose money is in
demand not only receives interest
constantly on the dues paid in by all
the members, but that it compounds
this interest monthly. Herein lies the
chief secret of the profitableness OF
this system of investment.
1t is quite as easy to show by figure:
the economy of buying ones house

loan association as compared with

The neighborhood must be a very

then, that d owns his premises by

Loans arc made to members either
to purchase houses already erected, to
build houses or to remove existing en-
cumbrances. If member borrows
to build q new house, the money is not
paid over to him in bulk, but is paid
over to the contractor, on the audit of
the owner and the associations build

One of the great advantages of these
associations as assistants of persons of
small means is, that they can safely
lend very close to the appraised values.

piled. The next question was what to
do with 1t. One Of his two men.serVants
would probably be glad to use 1t, but he
did not wish 10 show iavoritism. Then

down to the engine.houseP' said the
officer, 'the men all know you"
So the old gentleman went to the en-
CINE house; but when he entered there
was no one In sight. He had never been
in such a place before, but was perfectly
familiar with the use Of electric signals.
On the side oil the room there was but
ton, evidently connected with a bell,
and, naturally enough, after waiting
minute or two he put his thumb upon 1t.
The effect was electrical in every sense
ofthe word. From the air overhead-so,
at least, It seemed to the old gentleman
in his bewilderment-men began TO rain
down, completing their toilets as they
fell. The horses rushed out Of their
stalls, and, in word, all the machinery
OF a modern engine house was instantly
in motion.
Amid all this turmoil stood tho mild
hammered and innoCent old gentleman,
who, even now, did not suspect that he
had touched the fire alarm. The men
rushed upon him for information as Ia
the whereabouts OF the fire, but when he
opened his mouth it was only to say, in
the mildest accents:
"Ishould like to buy another ticket to

The situation was so ludiCrous that nc

whose nap had been broken into, and
