HABITS OF POPE LEO.
He Carries to the Extreme Limit His OBJ
servance of Church Laws.


Review of Reviews.l
Every day, about 8 or 8 o'clock in the
evening, according to the season, the Pope
recites the rosary with Mgr. Angel, his
private secretary, and one of the priests of
the household. In all religious exercises
Leo XIII. bears serious, dignifed and i'm
posing attitude. 1 have rarely seen masses
celebrated with such profound and heartfelt
piety. The priest is OWNED in the highest
acceptation of the word in Leo Kill He
carries out to scruple the laws of the
church. 1t is known that Catholic priest
should celebrate mass fasting, but this is a
law of discipline which the Pope, owing to
illness, has right to dispensate from.
In fact, only lately Leo Kill has accord
ed this dispensation to two Cardinals, and
has allowed them to celebrate mass after
having partaken of liquid food; but if it oc-
ours that in the morning an illness or an in
disposition .obliges him to take a cup of
milk or broth, Leo Kill, notwithstanding
the supreme powers of which he is the SOW
ereign dispenser, abstains that day from
celebrating mass. After the rosary, Leo
Kill partakes of light breakfasts COM
posed of eggs, vegetables and fruit, and then
enters his private apartments; it is seldom
he retires before II o'clock. His excessive
nervousness occasions him frequent Sleep
lessness; he then rises and walks about his
room reading and meditating. At times an
idea strikes him, and he rouses his secretary
and dictates to him.

MUSICAL BABY CARRIAGES,
How the Youngsters of Brooklyn Are Enter
tanned on Their Outings.

New York Times.1
That city of strange sights, Brooklyn, pro-
duced pair of unusually strange and some
what coincident sights for the edifcation of
an observant New Yorker yesterday. He
was walking along the Heights just before
noon, when he approached an Italian gentle
man grinding out "Annie Rooney on a
chromatic barrel organ. A lusty wall got in
between the notes every now and then, and
as the New Yorker passed by the music he
saw that the body of a baby carriage was
affixed to the truck of the organ, and in it
reposed the grinders heir. So the inventive
Italian combined the duty of earning his
livelihood with the pleasure of airing his
hopeful under his own watchful eye.
An hour later the New Yorker was walk
ing past the main entrance to Prospect Park,
when he heard the same strain and similar
walls coming from nowhere in. particular
He turned his steps across the Plaza to fer
ret out the mystery, and found that two
lovely twins, who sat facing each other in
big hooded baby carriage, had an orguinette
between them that they both insisted on
turning at once. So the pretty nurse girl
who was in charge of the affair combined the
duty of airing her charges with the pleasure
of being able to firt with the policeman to
slow music.

icine in $780, says the st. Louis Globe Demo-
crdt. know no one in the school who mas
tered the practical details of anatomy,
physiology, microscopic work and pathol-
ogy with greater facility than he. His un-
erring instinct in picking out the essential
features of any specimen he was set at work
on, whether portion of the cadaver or a
thin slice of the spinal cord for microscopic
work, was almost marvellous. When it
came to learning long lists of symptoms of
drugs or detailed descriptions of morbid
anatomy considered him somewhat below
the average. That seemed to trouble him,
and he hated books. He was at home in all
forms of observation, but when it came to
speculation or lengthy processes of reading
he turned up his nose with disgust.
He was fine Latin scholar. 1 remember
when he first turned up at the school, the
examining committee, not knowing any
thing about his previous training, and not
supposing he had had any chance to study
the Roman cards, proposed to him num-
ber OF languages from Whlch ne might take
his cnoice on which to pass the entrance ex-
animation. He said that he was willing to
take the usual thing, and when a Virgil
was handed him, read off line after line in
easy, fluent translation that made the pro-
fessors hair stand on end.
Never had anyone a better heart than
Freeman. Therewas in the class above him
young negro, raw from the Barbados, whose
standing was much below those of the Sioux
Freeman took quite fancy to him, and I
have known him to go night after nj ght to
his room and quiz the Barbadoan hour after
hour on the next days exercises in order to
fasten the leading points on the negro's
mind, which never got very firm hold on
them. Freeman was great athlete. The
only thing that would draw him away from
the dissecting table was the announcement
of game of ball or something of that kind.

MASSAGE IN PARIS BY MEN.
Beauty Finds the Stronger Sex Can Do the
Work Better Than the Weaker.

Beauty Finds the Stronger Sex Can Do the
Work Better Than the Weaker.
New York Press.1
Apropos of massage, in Paris and London,
the swellest women employ masseurs and
not masseuses. A celebrated physician de-
clares that women cannot work nearly as
successfully upon their own sex, and that
as a man possesses much more strength in
his hands, he can can better manipulate the
face and neck Of course the employment
of men masseurs would be somewhat of
shock to the modesty or American women,
but in France, where valet de chambre
often does up lady's bedroom, thus al
most usurping the functions of maid,
scruples are readily overcome, and a French
woman would think no more Of it than
of having her hair dressed by a male hair
dresser.
Bernhard's valet was In constant at
tendance upon her as her maid; he came and
went while she was making her toilet,
folded upon her dresses, smoothed out her
gloves and laces, and, in fact, attended to
all the little minor offices usually relegated
to a woman attendant

CHARACTER IN THE EARS.

Good Blood Shows There in the Human
Family as Well as in Animals.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.1
Did you ever notice how carefully stock
dealers examine the ears of horses, cattle
and sheep? They do it to get an idea of the
quality of the animal, for good blood never
goes with bad ear. The same thing is true
of men, and banker who knows anything
about ears knows also that there are two
kinds that, to say the least, will bear
watching.
The ear that runs down into the cheek,
with almost no lobe at all, is suspicious
organ, and quite as bad in another way is
the ear that runs to a sharp point at the out
er and upper corner. French detectives call
the first the thief's ear, and the second the
ear of the usurer.

GREENHOUSES FOR YELLOW JACK.
A Proposition to Cure the Disease by Re-
ducing the Temperature.

ducing the Temperature.
Garden and Forest.l
A German horticultural journal says that
one of the latest inventions in medicine is
the use of cold greenhouses in tropical
countries as means of combating yellow
fever This disease, it states, can be con-
quered if one removes to those elevated
regions in which oaks will grow. This fact
recently inspired celebrated Cuban physi-
clan with the idea of reducing the tempera-
ture of sick rooms by artificial means, and
wonderful cures resulted.
Now it is proposed that in districts liable
to the epidemic each town shall erect a
great glasshouse, in which plants of cold
and temperate regions may be grown, the
temperature being artifcially cooled in
stead of heated, as in our greenhouses, and
that they shall be devoted to the treatment
of patients suffering from the fever.

Facts About Electrical Quackery.

1t is hardly to be expected that electricity
should be exempt from the attentions of
certain section of that large class who live
by their wits, medical men. The eyes Of
the public are to some extent open to the
imposition involved in "electropathio
belts" electric hairbrushes," electric
shoes, "and kindred devices, but speciously
worded description of a new invention Of
this class, having for its reputed object the
cure or amelioration of human ailments or
suffering, is every now and again foisted on
the community, who often learn, too late,
that they have been consummately gulled.
In this category may be placed the ''im-
proved ear trumpet" which is said to en-
body the latest and best notifications Of
electrical science. This ear trumpet, "by
the electricity contained in It," so claims
its inventor, "has the marvellous power Of
curing in short space of time all affections
of the ear, from whatever cause they may
arise. The ear trumpet Is approved By
eminent physicians, and cures are sttasted
by thousands Of well-known people"
