given. Eleven hundred rebels were
slaughtered on the field and those cap
tured were Immediately executed.

Xne xeopAo mourn but the Government
Remains silent.
PARIS, Dec. 6-Cable dispatche. from
Rio Janeiro say that the news of the death
of Dom Pedro met with no official recog-
milton in the Brazilian capital.
The king of Portugal. in telegram of
coincidence, offers the use of the vault of
the Braganza family for the burial of the
ex-emperor.
Dom Pedro was fully possessed of his
mental faculties till the end. During his
last hours the ex-emperor repeatedly ex-
horted his heir, Princess Isabella, to pray
with him for the peace and prosperity of
Brazil. His body has been embalmed
and otaer preparations have been made
for the funeral, which is to be- held Thurs
day.
The body OF Dom Pedro Is attired In
the uniform of a Brazilian general, and is
lying in state in the room in which he
died. The king of Portugal has ordered
royal honors to be paid the remains. The
duke and duchess insist that any political
attitude is likely to offend the government
of Brazil.
Dom Pedro left will. Louise Athena,
the artist, completed picture of him be-
fore he died.
NEW York, Dec. 6.-The Herald's Rio
special says the death of Dom Pedro was
seriously felt in that city. Business wa,

BERLIN, Dec. 6.-The German and Aus
trian commercial treaty has been signed
in Vienna. The remaining treaties will be
signed during the coming week. They
were discussed by the bundesrath yester-
day. There is no doubt that the reichstag
will ratify the treaty. Americans will
derive the greatest advantage from
them. The Boursen Courier says the
duties on corn will be reduced
from so to 35 shilIings per ton.
Russia is excluded by the favored nation
clause, and will be adversely affected by
the new treaties, and virtually compelled

between Italy and Germany and Austria
have been signed here.

The Great irish Famine.

AS winter advanced the distress grew
deeper and fiercer. 1t twas hard winter,
cold rains and SHOWS alternating. To
famine and fever was added cold. Hun
dreds of cabins in, County Cork had
nothing on their earth floors save a few
rotten bundles of straw-not blanket.
mot a stick of furniture" Neither
could the people afford in many cases
even the cheap peat fires. The men
tramped barefoot through the snow to
the relief works. Their rags hardly COW
cred their bones. 1t was the cominonest
thing in the world for men to be "struck
with the cold" and die in a day or two.
All over the country men and women
could be seen ''redigging the potato
grounds, in hopes of finding some few
remaining" They were bending over
Tie fields which the sheep had deserted,
trying to find turnip roots. Families
were known to have lived for weeks ION
the flesh of horses that had died.
A Skibbereen man with a family of
five had nothing for them all to eat from
Saturday to Thursday except eleven and
one-half pounds of potatoes and head
of cabbage. He walked several miles to
the works and the superintendent gave
him piece of bread; he tried to swal-
low it and dropped dead.-Octave Tha-

Portraits of Christ,

There is no portrait of Christ which
can be pronounced authentic. The Jews
were forbidden by their law to make
hkenesses, and so art, as we understand
the word, scarcely had among them an
existence. There are, however. two por-
traits which have the merit of extreme
antiquity, and were both probably made
at some time in the First century. The
one is cut on an emerald, the work pur-
porting to have been done by command
of the Emperor Tiberius. The jewel was
preserved in the treasury of CONSTANT
nople, but in some way fell into the
hands of the Turks before that city was
taken by them, and about 1883 was
given by the sultan to Pope Innocent
VIII as a ransom for the sultan's bro
ther.
The other portrait is on fine brass
medal discovered in Anglesea, Wales, in
the year 1909. The workmanship is that
OF the First century, and a Hebrew in
scription on the reverse declares the por-
trait to be that of the prophet Jesus.
The two portraits bear close resem-
blance, but it is altogether probable that
both are ideal, and that each followed
the description of Christ given in the
well known but not well authenticated
letter OF Publius Leutulus. The napkin
portrait called st. Veronica's is much
more modern, and is probably COPY of
the emerald likeness. st. Louis Globe

Texas Again to the Fore.

The Uvalde Reflector says that Sparty
out hunting in that county had along a
liver colored setter dog, which found q
snake of the rattler species, and that the
snake swallowed the dog. The hunters
killed the snake with Calling gun, cut
him open with a butchers cleaver, and
that the dog jumped out all right, except
losing his bark; that the snake was two
feet thick and thirty-six feet long, and
had ninety-two rattles and button, and
the editor says it sounds little improb-
able, and it may be. But out on the
San Antonio river, in 1858, Col. Rip
Ford, Bill Pitts and others killed rat
tier with an acre Of burnt woods and
four live Indians in it, and no one then
thought it improbable-New Birming-

Chimney Pots.

When we reflect with satisfaction how
far we have emancipated ourselves from
the restraints of fashion in the matter of
boards, does 1t not seem marvellous that
we. still endure the oppressive, though
unwr1tten law which constitutes the
chimney pot hat to be the only decorous
headdress for well to do male humanity?
Woe! Woe! aesthetic woe to the sons of
men who, having cast aside one after
another the Phrygian cap, the furred
blrrus, the slashed bonnet, the knightly
beaver, the three-cocked hat and the
feathered glenga1ry, have resolved that
whosoever will enter good society must
bind his hrows with the gloomy cylinder!
None has word to say in its favor:
every one hates it and condemns it. In
travelling the hideous object has to be
provided with a special case. vet for
|. more than three generations it has been
held Indispensable. There is a cynical
levity in the ribbon which still encircles
its rigid circumference, recalling the
happy days when a hat band was a
reality, used to adjust the flexible cover
ing to the head. Odious as it is admit
ted to be, perhaps the most serious OBJ
lection to it from the point of view of
taste is the hindrance it presents to any
tendency in our other garments to be-
come more picturesque. Every visible
article of outfit has to be brought to the
aesthetic level of the headpiece. A Chin
ney pot hat browning tasteful costume
reduces it to ridicule. -Blackwoods
Magazine.

A Rare Case.

1 found Capt. Miller, of the navy
yard, wreathed in smiles when l saw
him in his Office at the Lyceum.
Il have just had an amusing expert
ence," he remarked. II am accustomed
to being run down by politicians who
want places for their proteges and by
place seekers themselves. But today,
for the first time in my life, I.have been
waited on by a man who wished to mott
fy me that he had given up his job. He
is from the Sixth Assembly district, New
York, and. was employed in the con-
struction department at $3.50 day. He
was appointed about three months ago.
''In rendering his resignation he said
he could do better in private employ
ment at $1.25 than as a government
workman at twice that amount. What
with political assessments, entertaining
his party friends, purchase of tickets of
one kind and another, and other pulls on
his purse, he found little of his wages
left for family expenses. I. of course, &C
cepted his resignation, at the same time
jocularly informing him that he ought to
be exhibited in dime museum. New

Strange Lanse of Memory.

Cases Of forgetfulness on matters of
interest are on record. While DR.. Priest
ley was preparing his work entitled liar
mony of the Gospels, he had taken great
pains to inform himself on q subject
which had been under discussion rela-
tive to the Jewish Passover. He wrote
out the result of his researches and laid
the paper away. His attention and time
being taken with something else, some
little time elapsed before the subject oc-
CURED to his mind again. Then the same
time and pains were given to the subject
that had been given to it before, and
the results were again put on paper
and laid aside. So completely had he
forgotten that he had copied the same
paragraphs and reflections before, that
it was only when he had found the papers
on which he had transcribed them that
it was recalled to his recollection. This
same author had frequently read his own
published writings and did not recognize
then.-Boston Herald.

A Rheumatic Snnersfatinn.

Rheumatism is caused by the deer or
by the measuring worm, the idea being
suggested in the latter case by the man
ner in which the measuring worm arches
his body in walking, which is supposed
to be like the contortions of rheumatic
patient On no account must the patient
eat a squirrel or touch cat, since the
manner in which these creatures arch
the back indicates an affinity with the
disease. Nor must he eat the legs of any
animal, since, as every one knows, the
limbs are most frequently affected with
rheumatism, and by eating the legs of
an animal the "disease spirit" residing
there might be taken in.-Youth's Com
panion.

influence of a Simple Invention.

One cannot always tell, until after the
event, on what apparently insignificant
act his whole future hinges DR.. Cyrus
Hamlin, president Of Middlebury college
in Vermont, and formerly of Maine, in
a recent address at Woodfords said his
life depended on the making of screw.
When at Bowdoin college in 1882 he
made brass screw for Professor Smiths
theodohte, and that led to his making
steam engine, the first one built in Maine.
He had never seen one in all his life,
but he asked the professor if he thought
he could sell an engine, if he could make
one, for as much as he could earn by
teaching in the vacation. The professor
thought he could, he had made the screw
SO perfectly. So he went to Portland,
and went to work in a clocknaking es-
Enlistment. At the end of ten weeks
vacation the engine was completed, and
sold to Bowdoin college for SITS He
could have earned but $40 teaching. The
price of the engine was sufficient to pay
years expenses at Bowdoin in those
days.-Bangor News.

Credence in Medicinal Charms.

1t is not only among the rude savages
Of India that the virtue of medicinal
charms is implicitly credited. The il
iterate and simple minded of England
repose all necessary faith in the same
fascinating decisions, and there is no
ancient woman in any of our remote vii
lagos, who processes the customary
knowledge and superiority of her age,
who has not specific charm for whoop-
ing cough, ague, teething, commissions,
epilepsy and every other common all
ment and disease.
Every one is acquainted with the eff
cacy of the "royal touch" in cases of
