The Holy Coat Exhibited.

A great religious function will open
at Treves, Germany, on August %,
when the rarely seen "holy coat" will
be exhibited in the cathedral of St.
Peter and st. Helen there TO the Cath
Ole faithful during six weeks. The
holy coat is a ielic which has been pre-
served with the greatest reverence in
the Treves Cathedral for many years,
and is esteemed rs its greatest treasure.
1t is alleged to be the seamless coat
worn by the Savior. 1t is said to have
been discovered by the Empress Helen
during her memorable visit to Pales-
tine in the fourth century. After nu-
merous vicissitudes the coat was de-
posted in the Cathedral of St Peter
and st. Helen, and since the year ll96
has, at exceedingly long intervals, been
exhibited to the faithful. Miraculous
curative properties are ascribed to the
relic. The exhibition of the "holv
coat" in 1874 is memorable for the re-
action which it produced, leading to
the secession of the Ronge and Ger
man Catholics from the church OF
Rome. The exhibitions have always
been attended by almost countless
throngs, and an enormous influx of
pilgrims is expected in August. The
Rhine railways are preparing for the
rush. They expect to carry 10000
passengers daily.

The Decay Of American Manhood.

Oswald Ottendorfcr in the July Forum
1t cannot be denied that symptoms
are appearing in our public and private
life of a decay in the character OF our
people. The only question is: Are
they the results of the influence OF i'm
migrants, or of other causes which cor
rupt the native-horn citizen as well as
the immigrants? The tendency to-
ward the ccntralization of wealth and
power is the most characteristic symp-
tom that has appeared in the develop
ment OF our public and economic life
during the last thirty years. 1t has
undermined the seli-reliance Of our cit
liens and induced them to look to the
government as Il paternal power for
help and assistance. 1t has induced
them to engage in vile chase for sue
cess, irrespective OF principle and vir.
tue. 1t has beguiled them into aping
foreign customs and habits. |. has
made them forget that American citi-
zenship is the highest type and has
caused them so far to lose their self-re-
spect that they importunc our minis
tcrs in Europe for introductions at
court, and consider it their greatest
ambition to .plurge in all sorts of ex-
travagances. This degeneration GER
tainly cannot be traced to the influence
Of immigration. A dozen titled ad-
venturcrs coming over here from Eu-
rope, who are introduced into the best
circles, who turn the heads OF the bellies
OF society and who induce our dudes"
to initiate their snobbish follies, con-
tribute more to corrupt the habits and
customs OF the best classes of our peo-
pie, who consider themselves pre- emf
nently American, than million of
poor immigrants.

The Wife's Obedience.

harper BaZaar.
Whole denominations of Christians
have dropped the word "obey" from
the marriage service. The great Ro-
man Catholic church never had it in
serted, and even in the Episcopal
church it is occasionally omitted-I
have personally known several in
stances; or when retained, it is con-
stantly explained by the parties con-
cerned, or even by clergymen, as a
thing to he taken with mental reser-
vation. Two things have contributed
to this-the constant increase in the
number of women who earn incomes
OF their own, and the vast progress of
the higher education. Either of these
experiences very soon expands the
wings OF a strong feminine nature,
and a return to the chrysalis is thence
forth impossible. 1t is out of the
question to give woman equal educa-
ton and equal property rights and
yet keep her in the PROSTATE attitude
she occupied when her earnings be-
Ionged to her husband, and when the
law denied her the safeguard called
the "benefit OF clergy" on the ground
that it was not supposable she could
read or write.

THE PEDIcULUS GAME.
An Exciting Gambling Sport.

An ex-army chaplain tells of his ex-
perience in endeavoring to stop gam
bling in his regiment that shows how
impossible it is to quench the spirit of
hazard that takes possession of men
when LETT with nothing to do to keep
them busy or furnish excitement.
After great deal of exhorting he sue
ceeded in gathering in all the cards in
camp, and thought he had gambling at
disadvantage; but the next day being
pay day, he was attracted by crowd
and upon pushing through it found a
dozen men sitting around q blanket
spread on the ground. On the blank.
ct were piled twelve Jumps of sugar and
a great heap of money. The men were
gambling, the stakes going to the
owner OF the lump of sugar upon which
the first fly should alight. He at once
went to his tent and returned with the
cards, which he handed over to the
gamblers with sorrow.
This is a pretty good gambling story,
but 1t does not compare with the gam
bling experiences of the boys who
fought Indians ir Oregon in the early
days. They had neither cards nor
money in that dreary Indian country
east OF the mountains, but they gam
bled all the same. Tobacco, so highly
priced as long as it lasted, served for
money. 1t was cut up into little
chunks and used as stakes in the Pc
diculus game, though the boys were
not quite so scientific in the title they
gave it. A smooth stone was heated
and placed on the ground. Then each
man, after entering his chunk of to-
bacco, would secure apeiiculus hun,an-
as and hold him two inches above the
center OF the stone. At the word each
man would drop his entry for the race
upon the stone, and the one whose
entry got off the hot stone first took
the pot. You can hear the old vets
tell of their gambling experience in the
Indian country with much elaboration
OF detail, if you will step up to some
bar and pay for it.

Useful Recipes.
Grcta Beverly, in Good Housekeep

Grcta Beverly, in Good housekeeping.
Equal parts of cream tartar and
saltpetre make an excellent remedy
| for rheumatism. Take one-half tea.
/ spoonful OF the mixture and divide it
, into three doses. Take one of these
three times day.
When the ankle has been severely
sprained, immersr it Immediately in
hot water, keeping it there for fifteen
or twenty minutes. After it has been
taken out OF the water, keep it
bandaged with cloths rung out of hot
water.
The white of an egg, with a little
water and sugar, is good for children
who are troubled with an irritable
stomach. 1t is very healing and will
prove an excellent remedy for diarrhea,
as well as Il simple preventive for
bowel disorders.
If vaseline or butter be apple! to
the skin Immediately after blow o.
any kind, there will be no discolora-
ton. But to be efiectual, it must be
used directly after the accident. The
bruised feeling may be relieved by
witch hazel.
AS an antidote for consumptive
tendency, cream acts like charm; to
be used instead of cod liver oil. Also
aged people, invalids and those who
have feeble indigestion, or suffer from
dullness, as well as growing children,
will be greatly benefited by taking
sweet cream in liberal quantities.
