A Love of Gossip.

If you, a mother, wish to cultivate a
gossiping, meddling, censorious spirit
IN your children, be sure, when they
come home from church, visit, or any
place where you do not accompany
them, to ask them questions concern
ing what everybody Wore, how every-
body looked, and what everybody said
and did; and, if you find anything in
all this to censure, always do It in
them hearing. You may rest assured,
II you pursue a course of this kind.
they will not return TO you unladen
With intelligence; and rather than it
should be uninteresting, they will by
degrees learn to embellish in such o
manner as shall not fail to call forth
remarks and expressions Of wonder
from you. Thus you will finally be
surrounded by gossips welded as fond
" to their craft as the celebrated c1o;ln

The simple and obvious device O.
packing fish in ice for transportation
in hot weather was first used in Amer
ica.in the forties. From this countr,
it spread to Europe and is now in gen
eral use in oil civilized lands. The
practice has been common i'll China
from very early times. In a book pub
ished in Nuremberg in 1850, Erasmus
Franciscus refers to the Chinese GUS

and it was left for smart Yankee TO
re-discover The simple expedient two

Rumored Vacation of the Vatican.

A late Rome dispatch says: The decis-
ion of the pontifcal major domo to
refuse to the officers of the vatican
guards their usual leaves of absence points
to the eventua! departure of the pope from
Rome. The commute of cardinals
charged to make detailed arrangements for
his possible departure propose that his
holiness shall go by carriage, accompanied
by ambassadors, as far as Cirita Necchia
and thence travel by sea to Spain. A
small number Of cardinal prelates will
follow the pope, who will delegate extra
ordinary powers to the chiefs of congrega-
tions remaining there.
