THE HOLY COAT OF TREVES.

The "Holy Coat'' of Treves, said to be the coat worn by the Saviour in the latter part of his life, is now on exhibition in the cathedral at Treves When it was first exposed to view Thursday the scene was an impressive one. Two Knights of Malta, in full costume, with drawn swords in their hands, stood on either side of the shrine enclosing the holy coat case, which was surrounded by tall lighted candles in handsome candlesticks and surmounted by a large gold cross. High mass was cele- brated and over one hundred priests assisted in the ceremonies. The holy coat is distinctly visible in the body of the cathedral, and is much more plainly seen than upon the. former occasion of it's exhi- bition in 1S44. The old silken covering being almost entirely worn away, it ap- pears to be of brownish yellow color.
 During the exhibition Treves will be lively place. About twenty excursion trains day will arrive there, but in order that the town may not be overcrowded the different bands of pilgrims, led by their priests, will only be permitted to remain one night in town. Arriving say in the evening they will march the next morning in procession to the cathedral and must leave town the same evening in order to make way for other religious bodies of people. Some idea of the number of peo- ple at Treves and of the accommodation provided for them can be judged from the fact that nearly five hundred citizens sent in petitions to the municipal authorities for licenses to keep inns and other public houses during the exhibition.
 It is a sign of the times that the exhibi- ton of this coat has called forth good deal of protest even from Roman Catholics. Many communities of the faithful are pro- testing against it's exhibition, while many who are outside the faith are openly at tacking the Church and accusing it of mer- cenary motives. A pamphlet has been circulated attacking the Bishop of Treves for permitting the exhibition, and denying the authenticity of the historic garment. The bishops adherents claim that Christ, in his public capacity of rabbi, wore the dress of the upper classes of the Jews, and his opponents urge that he always dressed poorly and preached against love of dress. Roman Catholic tradition afirms that the coat possesses miraculous power, ena- bling it to defy the ravages of time. Un- fortunately, however, the committee of pi- l ous citizens who have been requested to examine it do not bear out this explana- tion by their report. On the contrary, | they declare that the garment shows ! traces of having been renewed, several patches on it being embedded in piece ot l linen or cotton cloth of later manufac l ture.
 l But as an historical object the relic if
 certainly very interesting. even if there if
 no real proof that it is what it has beer
 said to be. The story is that the coat wal
 discovered in the fourth century, and hal
 been kept in Treves ever since. It ii
 pretty certain that it has been in existence
 since 1196 and has been shown at varying
 intervals since, the last time in 1844.
 has always attracted many pilgrims ant

TWO ssSTRAWS.,,

It is about time that more notice was taken of some things than there has been. A circular issued by pension claim agent in Chicago contains the following interest ing and significant paragraphs:
 We would like to have you call at our us regarding your pension or other war
 The laws are now very liberal, and much of the red tape of past years has been done away with The evidence needed is very simple.
 Soldiers or officers dishonorably dis charged or dismissed from the service can now get pensions.
 Charges of desertion can often be can- celed.
 Old, rejected cases can be reopened and proved up under thenew rules of evidence.
 This is ssout Westn But it isn't con- fined to the West. The Hartford Times says that gentleman of this State who had some government dealings with the army during the late war, but who was not 8 soldier, received an urgent letter from a pension agent last week, requesting him to sign petition for pension. Your name appears in connection with the army, he said, and you can get pension and back pay. If you have any ailment, said the latter, headache, rheumatism, or lame ness, or any bodily difficulty whatever, we can trace it to the camp. We can get evi- dence. I will fill out the blanks, said the agent, if you will sign the papers. On one side of this letter was a printed card of thanks from "pensioner" who had just received over s2, 900 from this pension agent that the so-called pen sioner had never expected to get. The gentleman who received this pension agents letter had been in the camp only three times in his life, and only for very few days on each occasion, and therefore he didn't think he had any right to a pension.
 Undoubtedly there are thousands draw ing pensions from the government who have no good right to them. A revision of the pension list is badly needed. And it is for the interest of the decreas- ing pensioners that it should be made.

Italy is in bad shape financially. 1tisexl 1 pected that the deficit for the last fiscal year | will reach eighteen million dollars. Her | outlook for the future is certainly gloomy, l for with the increase of her yearly deficit ! the value of the bonds which she is forced \ to issue has fallen, so that she is vertically l burning the candle of extravaganza at both | ends. Enormous expenditures for roads,
 buildings and public improvements in the past, and present expenditures for the SUD-
 port of the triple alliance, which necessi- tates vast equipment for land and naval
 warfare, are the causes of her present un- enviable position Retrenchment has been
 attempted, but very little improvement in the financial condition of Italy can be ex- pected until her military forces are reduced to peace footing.
 The reported scene between the Queen of the Belgians and the mad Empress Carlotte is contradicted by M. Boernaert, the head of the Belgian cabinet, but the daily life of the unfortunate widow of Maximilian. It appears that her madness is generally mild. Her vassals at Bouchoute speak of her as ;'the most submissive of sovereigns" She is treated with all the outward marks of the respect which is paid to royalty. Her household consists of about hundred persons. Twice a day she takes a walk in the magnificent park adjoining her residence. She moves along slowly, with her head bent very low W hen she sees white or shining object of any kind she stops suddenly and gazes at it for long time. In the evening after dinner she sits down to her piano and plays for hours. She plays we'll and with great execution.
 Some queer things have been done in Long Island City, New York, since the celebrated Pat Gleason became mayor, but but the appointment of Peter B. Tarpey as 8 school principal is resented. A man who doesn't seem to fear Mayor Gleason has served notice of his intention to petition the State superintendent of public instruc- tion to revoke Peter's license as teacher The citizen sets forth in his complaint and annexed affdavits that Peter has acknowl- edge under oath, in Q court of law, that he is frequenter of bar-rooms in the small hours, has had many quarrels there, and on one occasion drew pistol with the intention of using it. Also that on several occasions Peter has appeared in the public school of which he is the principal with disfgured face and blackened eyes as the result of drunken debauchery and bar room quarrels," and that his looks and condition on these occasions have "created great scandal among the teachers and chil- dren." A number of citizens make affida- wit also that they wouldn't believe him un- der oath. In the closing paragraph of the complaint, the complainant expresses the opinion that "a person of such notoriously bad habits and practices'should no longer disgrace the honorable body of teachers who uphold the character and dignity at tached to the holding of state certificate" We should say not.

Root Cellars.

Root cellars vary much in their con-
struction, according to their intended
purpose. Smaller ones, intended only
for garden vegetables, occupy a portion
Of the basement under a dwelling, thor
oughly separated from the rest Of the
basement and requiring care to prevent
any odors from them from ascending to
the apartments above. Such roots as the
tubers Of potatoes impart little or none
Of such 9dors- More spacious cellars, for
receiving large quantities Of farm crops,
may be placed under barns or carriage
houses, but require still greater care to
prevent the improper discharge Of effiu-
via, which Is to be avoided by always
keeping the root cellar cool and provid-
ing s1fiicien. ventilation and preventing
the roots from heating. Such roots as
turnips and rutabagas require special care
in this respect, and when masses Of them
are stored, il should be with a grated
wooden floor and sides, 70 allow the free
passage Of air 10 keep them cool and to
convey away ell odors. If such Odors
are allowed to accumulate and become
strong, they cause the decay Of the limb
ers with which they come contact P0ts-
toes should have an apartment which
does not freeze; but rutsbagss may be
several degrees colder. Free ventilation
should always be effected by sliding
windows, and the temperature controlled
at ali times by the aid Of thermometers.
