These sketches, as collected in a handsome volume, with graceful title, seem, if anything, to gain in attractive ness, and the record of years sojourn in the delightful but tincomprehensible "Lsud of the Rising Sun" is charming and unique to the reader as were tho people of the Mi kado's land to the cultured poet and schol- ar. He came to them as friend, and they responded with confidence and affec- ton, charming him with their grace, ten derness and reverence until he exclaimed with St. Francis Xavier; "This nation is the delight of my soul!"

Something About Relics,

lA-SA-A -1A4 AAt lNAE sDkDl-l
 Sometimes miraculous origin has been attributed to relics through an accidental mistake. After the return of Saint David the patron saint of Wales, from pilgrim age to the Holy Land, the patriarch of Je- rusalem sent him, "per angelos suas''-his own angels or messengers-a horse, a staff and tunic of cloth of gold, which David dedicated on the altar of his cathedral church. The twofold meaning of the word ''angelos" led, at later date, to a belief that these gifts were of celestial or igin. We meet in history with a-hozt of legends which, like this, are founded upon equivocal words or phrases
 It was very generally believed that gen. uine relics could not be destroyed bv fire: and this belief explains the second canon adopted by the council of Saragossa. that all relics found among the Arians should be carried to the bishops, and subjected 10 the ordeal of fire. As this test, however, was hazardous for good ss well as bad rel ics, it was very seldom adopted
 In all generations persons of an incred- ulous turn of mind have existed: and as such persons might have had a fancy for personally investigating the authenticity of some of the memorials held up to their yenerstion, the monks put into circulation various stories calculated to terrify even the most daring unbelievers. "The body of the blessed martyr, Saint Edmund, ." says Guibert de Nogente, permitted no one to approach it. An abb, of the mon- astery where this relic was preserved, who was recently living, desired to verify the report that the head of this saint, who was martyred by decapitation, had been mirac- ulously joined to his body. He and his chaplain lasted for several days, and then, by the head, and the other by the heels, to see if the former would come away from the trunk Csi le chef Sc detacheTait du troncO. Their efforts were useless: but their hands remained stricken with perma- nent paralysis "
 In course of time the saints were pre- ferred by the superstitious to God him self, and received more homage than the three persons of the Trinity. It is record ed that one year, when no offering was made at the high altar, and only four pounds one shilling and eightpence at the Virgins, the oblations at the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket amounted to nine hundred and fifty pounds six shillings and threepence. As Canon Jenkins remarks, ths relics of Becket made Canterbury "a center of the religious life of the day, sec ond to 10 other place of pilgrimage and devotion;" and gifts and offerings of whose value the splendor of the shrine itself as Erasmus has described it, was & very sig nifcant symbol, gave proof of the hold which the Becket cultus had upon every class, from royalty dOwnwards

SOME NEEDED RULES.


 The New York State Commission in Lunacy doesn't mean to have any more such affairs as have startled the good people of New York during the last two or three years if it can help it. Several cases have recently come to light of deten- tion in insane asylums of persons of sound mind, but who have been remanded by interested relatives or guardians. Some rules recently adopted by the commission will make it more difficult than it has been to do such thing. The commissioners have determined that all patients ad- mitted to institutions for the care, custody or treatment of the insane must at the time be informed by the receiving medical officer what the character of the insti- tuition is and why they are detained In other words, there is to be no hurried process of admission through which a patient is rushed without any notion of the reason for the action. Again, it is provided that voluntary patients, those who recognize the necessity for their de- tention and are willing to put themselves into the care of the asylum authorities, shall sign an agreement, acknowledging their willingness to enter such an institu- I tion and to maintain it's discipline. This would serve to prevent in the future any pleas on the part of designing relatives | or guardians that committed person acquiesces in his detention, when the facts are exactly contrary. Another important rule adopted is that no license will be granted for the maintenance of an insane asylum unless it is to be constantly in charge of . well educated physician, a graduate of a legally incorporated medical college, and who has had at least five years of experience in the care of the insane.
 These are proper and evidently needed safeguards. It is shameful that they are necessary, but there are many people in New York, and also in other states, who are wicked enough to use an insane asylum for putting inconvenient persons out of the way if they can.

THE LITTLE APACHRs.

A Pleasant Glimpse of School Life

 Transcript
 The reopening of the Apache school at Mt. Vernon barracks was pleasant sight. All the children had new clothes, the boys, even the smallest, being dressed in ready made white duck trousers and coats. The military discipline of cleanliness among the men has worked downward, so to speak, among the little folks, inducing more frequent and better laundry work on the part of their mothers, and a more am bitious desire for personal neatness among the children themselves. The most mo- ticeable feature in the pretty, lively scene, and one most calculoted to bring joy to the heart of the ordinary philanthropist, was found in the fact that every masculine head was closely shorn.

 MT. Ravenstein. of the British Associa- l ton for the Advancement of Science, has been making calculations as to the number of people that the world can comfortably support and the time when that limit will be reached. He estimates the population of the earth in 1890 at 1 1,46s, ,O0O, ,000, and its rate of increase per decade at per cent Then he takes the area of all the habitable land in the world at little over 46,O0O,- 900 square miles, only 2S, 1000, ,000 of which are fertile. The latter he estimates to be capable of maintaining POT to the mile, this being founded on the statistics of 175 for India, 295 for China and 264 for Japan. Roughly speaking, the earth is supposed to be capable of sustaining 5000, ,O00, 900 people, and at the present rate of increase
 
 than 200 years from now.
 A nautical journal published on the Pacific coast asserts that the Nicaragua canal, if completed, will never be used by sailing vessels, for a reason which applies also to the Panama canal. On either eide of Central America, in the vicinity of the r,ronosad aptranoac to ba canal is O ranvinr, of perpetual calms and doldrums, and a sailing vessel would find it exceedingly difficult to get into the entrance on one side, and after being lowed through would have equal difficulty in getting away from the coast into the region of the trade winds on the other. A sailing vessel going to San Francisco from New York or Liver pool would, it is declared, make a quicker passage around Cape Horn than by going through the canal. It is said that but one sailing vessel has ever passed through the Suez canal, and that was lost in the Red Sea shortly afterward.
 It is the law in Illinois, according to a decision just rendered by the Supreme court, that margins paid brokers on stock or grain transactions oan be recovered of the brokers by suit. A Mrs. Talcott paid a firm of brokers g, 131 and gave them note for g, 900 more to be used as mar gins in buying and selling grain. When the brokers tried to enforce payment of the note she sued for an injunction against their attempt, and also to recover the cash paid them, and the court has decided in her favor on both points. The brokers are ordered to surrender the note and to refund the cash, and Judge Moran in giv- ing the final decision says that "margins advanced to brokers on contracts made to be settled on differences" can be "recov- cred back from the person or persons to whom they were paid" This ruling ap- lies to all such contracts where it is un- derstood between broker and client that no grain should actually be received or deliv- cred between them.

A Brides First Lesson.

A brides first lesson, says the La
dies Home journal, is to respect the
extreme seusitiveness of her hus band,
who doesn't want people to know he
has just been married; consequently
she will be wise if, after her first Jour-
ney, she assumes gown that has seen
wear; if she will forget to look around
in a startled manner whenever her
husband is gone from her side, as it is
not likely that he is going to be
either lost or stolen. The next thing
is not to kiss him or hold his hand in
public, or call him Daring" Any
woman can make a man feel her love
without making him ridiculous.
Another thing for her to learn is,
when she is at a hotel, not to grow
confidential with the chambermaid,
not to give her piece Of her wedding
cake and tell her all about the mar.
riage ceremony. and tell her how she
looked. You think this is never done:
Ask at some large hotel. And she
shouldn't giggle or look surprised
when she gets letter from her moth
err addressed to her in her married
name. Men are particularly sensitive
creatures about some things. and they
are rather given to think a woman
don't want q name when she acts il
this way.
