[From the Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin,
The pellium, such as was conferred on
Archbishop Katzer, is a white wooden
band, about two inches wide, and long
enough to be worn around the shoulders
and be crossed in front. 1t is made at
Rome from the wool of two lambs which
the sisterhood of Santa Agnese offer every
year on the occasion of the feast of their
patron saint, while the Agnus Del ia sung
at mass. The pallium has crosses worked
upon the white wool in black, and orna-
ments are attached to the ends. 1t is sent
by the Pope to every newly-Rppointed
archbishop, and the origin of its use for
this purpose dates back TO a very early
time in the history of the church. It is
mentioned in an ecclesiastical document of
the time of Pope st. Mark, who died in
the year 1886, and an eighth century mosa-
ic represents Pope st. Leo in the act of
receiving pallium almsst like the one
conferred upon Archbishop Katzer.

Electricity and Life.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
The matter to which you refer in your
editorial on Electricity and Growth" is
only one of a very great number of facts
which are available as evidence that life
and growth are by means of electrical
agency in some way, and 1 maintain that
the evidence is overwhelming, as soon as it
is fairly weighed that the electrical agency
is supplied by the oxygen of respiration.
The point which you make as to young
human beings" l have specially dealt with
in my research, and when the stupid pub
lie gets ready to listen to the facts 1 will
show how motherhood may do intellectually
more than all means now known are doing
for the vigor, character and welfare of off
spring. The marvel is almost as great as
that of birth from virgin, but it is in the
order of nature and it may occur with any
mother if certain simple conditions are
met. EDWARD G. TowNE.

PAIN ELL,


The news Of the death of Charles Stewart
Parnel was startling, as there had been no
public knowledge that he was dangerously
ILL., It would have been better for his fame
if he had not lived 80 long, but, in spite of
his fall and the terrible blow he dealt the
cause for which he had done SO much, he
will still be credited with accomplishing
more than any other leader of the Irish
Nationalists. His career was remarkable
one, and he so managed himself and his
affairs that he was looked upon as mys-
terious phenomenon. Phenomenon he Ger
tainly was, from the time he entered the
House of Commons in 1875, and cast his lot
with the small and despised band of Irish
agitators, to the time when his force and
skill had built up powerful party and the
attainment Of the object of his work
seemed not far distant. Had he died
then he would have passed into history
as one of the greatest and best men of his
time, and his words and example would
have remained powerful inspiration to
those who would have attempted to carry
on his work. But the exposure of his vul-
gar intrigue with Mrs. O'Shea, his appar-
ent defiance of the moral sentiment of his
countrymen, and his ill-advised and fran
tic efforts to regain his leadership de-
stroyed all the wondering worship with
which he had been regarded and left him
poor indeed. It is useless to speculate
concerning what he might have managed
to do had he lived. There were certainly
no signs that he was making much head
way in his latter days.
His death will be looked on as good
thing for the Irish party. 1t removes
many and serious obstacles to harmony,
and though such a leader as Parnell once
was cannot reasonably be expected there
can now be union and aggressive action.

An interesting point in our treaty rela-
tions with England has arisen through the
desire of some of the Lake cities, Chicago,
Detroit, Cleveland and others, to have part
In the proposed naval militia. These cities
cannot have the same privileges that those
upon the coast may enjoy, for there is an
agreement between this government and
Great Britain which limits the war vessels
which each nation may keep upon the lakes
to four-a wise provision in its way per-
haps, but entirely barring out any "naval
militia"
The most interesting African exploration
now in progress is that of the French and
German expeditions, which are on the
way to the central Soudan, to visit the
populous Mohammedsn empires in the
region of Lake Tehad. This region is one
of the most inaccessible parts of the
world; and we have had scarcely any in
formation from the central Soudan for
some years. The great significance of the
present expeditions is that they will en-
deavor to open up direct communication
between the Soudanese states and the out
side world. It is probable that a year or
80 will elapse before we know what success
they will attain.
The discussion in England of the sub
ject of drinking and its effects, started by
DR.. J. Mortimer Grsnville's, letter, has
brought many curious and interesting
facts to light. One of the writers on the
anti-alcoholic side attributed the decreased
death-rate in the British navy yard to the
diminution of drinking, whereupon naval
officer writes to declare that the improve
ment in the health of the sailors must be
ascribed not to their drinking less liquor,
but to their drinking better water. Dis
titled water is the secret, he declares, of
the improved sanitary condition, and he
continues: AS far as alcoholic beverages
are concerned, there is very much more
drinking and incomparably less drunken
ness in the navy than there used to be.
The officers and men of that service are
more sober than any other class of English
| men. The teetotalers have not had the
| smallest share in bringing this about. In
| the old drunken days the men were allowed
| leave to go on shore only very seldom,
and when they went the majority of them
| got drunk. Leave to land is now part OF
| the daily routine of every ship in port
Every one who takes look at the public,
| houses in the neighborhoods frequented by
| seamen and marines can see that they are
not illiberally patronized. Yet drunken
ness is now rare. The case of the officers
| is just the same. Except in extremely
few cases, their sebriety is unimpeachable
| Nevertheless, the wine merchants who
have supplied naval messes for generations
will be able to tell you how very much
greater is the stock which they put OF
board a ship in these days than that which
they used to ship, say, forty years ago

BERLIN, Aug. 5.-The Foreign Committee
Of the Chicago Columbian Exhibition has
done much good in this city in arousing in

have resulted in much greater interest being

RUSSIAN REFUGEES.
Government Officials Ordered to Prevent
Their Return.

LONDON. Aug. 5.-The Times correspond

trRtion of the falsity of the repeated state
ments that the Gar has decided to alleviate
the condition of the Jews on representa-
tOns from America. which have never been
made, is found In the Warsaw telegram
which declares that the Russian frontier
officials have been instructed to strictly
p rbid and TO prevent, as far as possible,
the return of all Jewish emigrants who wish
TO re-enter Russia Of their own free will, or
are forced to do so by German or other for

Advices have been received here giving
another illustration of the bitter hostility
against the Jews in Russia. This occurred
at ElisabetGred, on the Ingool River, n30
miles north of Kherson. Several thousand
farm laborers, small land-hOlders and others
engaged in agricultural occupations in the
country surrounding Elisabetgred pro-
ceeded to the Jewish quarter. Amid cries

MEXICO'S HARVEST.
Fears Of Famine Entertained Dam
ages by Floods.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 5.-Latest adviees from
the City of Mexico are to the effect that
great apprehension is felt there in regard to
the crop prospects. An alarming state of
affairs exists in the principal grain-produc-
ing districts owing to the long-continued
droughts In the State of Vera Cruz
where large crops were expected to be har-
vested, the heavy rains which have fallen
incessantly since the 18th nit. have caused
the PapalOapam and the San Juan rivers to
rise, and the extensive farming tracts along
their banks are under water.
All the crops in consequence are reported
failures. and the situation in Vera Cruz Is
desperate. The lowlying country is threat
ened by the rivers, which are increasing in
volume, and the people residing there fear
a total destruction of their homes.
The crops between Tuxtepec and Omat-
tan are swept away aud those two towns
are under water, as are also four other
towns. The corn crop of Sotavento, which
promised large yield this season, is a total
loss, and the country is Inundated for miles.
Hundreds Of cattle have bten drowned
The fruit crop is partial loss. and if the
flood continues every tree will be killed
Unless good drenching rain falls in the
drought-Stricken districts within the ne Xt
three or four days a complete failure of
crops will result. Famine now stares the

" THE COLD SHOULDER.n
Proper Way to Use 1t a Weapon Again
Iuuleasant PaonIa

Proper Way to Use 1t a Weapon AGAINST
Unpleasant People.
Samson made an effective weapon of the
jaw-bone of an ass. But although in this our
day many bipedal donkey does dismal
work with his own jaw-bone, his disagreea-
BILE weapon cannot be compared with tie
cold shoulder for elegance, especially in the
polite circles OF society, says the New York
Ledger
The art of giving the cold shoulder polite
ly TO those we cannot esteem, and with
whom we do not wish to associate on terms
of intimacy, is worth learning.
Social courtesy does not require us to treat
with seeming cordlality persons whom we
actually dislike. To do so Is to play the
hypocrite. and hypocrisy is vice which no
high-minded Christian gentleman will per-
init himself TO practice
1t is quite possible TO observe the conyen-
tional forms of politeness toward individuals
who are disagreeable to US, in such a way as
to show them, without making the fact
patent to the world at large, that we do not
desire to cultivate their acquaintance. 1t is
rare thing to meet with man too obtuse
or too impertinen: to take a hint OF this
kind; but when that is the case the only re-
course is to give him the cut direct as
ceietly as possible. II he has any manlness
in him he will prefer the tacit indication of
an honest Indifference or repugnance to a
hollow show OF friendship.
Even the tone of voice in which you salute
man or bid him gOod-by may convey to
him the estimation in which you hold him.
The commonest routine phrases may be
made TO assume very different meanings by
varying the tone and manner in which they
are uttered. There IS much in accent. IL
you remark of coat that it is something
like coat" you say in effect that the tailor
has made failure. If, on the other hand,
you exclam enthusiastically that it is
something Ike coat" you signify warm
approval of its cut and finish. In the same
way the ordinary parlance of society may
mean everything or nothing-may indicate
the deepest interest, the most sovereign in
difference or positive dislike according To
the intonatiOn and manner of the speaker
1t is good rule to avoid people you don't
like; but il that is impossible the next best
course is to give them to understand in
delicate way and with due consideration for
their sclf-esteem that you cannot fraternize
with .hem
