A CURIOUS book, in which the text is
neither written or printed, but woven,
has lately been published at Lyons. It
Is made of silk, and was published in
twenty-five parts Each part consists
Of two leaves, so that the entire volume
only contains fifty leaves, inscribed with
the service of the mass and several pray
ers- Both the letters and the border
are in black silk on white background.
Perhaps, however, the most wonderful
book in the world is another one which
is neither written nor printed. Every
letter is cut into the leaf, and as the
alternate leaves are of blue paper it is
as easily read as the best printing. The
labor required and the patience neces-
sary to cut each letter may be imagined
The work is so perfect that it seems as
though done by machinery, yet every
character was made by hand The book
is entitled THE Passion of christ" 1t
is very old volume, and was curiosity
as long ago as 1910. It belongs to the
family of the Prince de Ligne, and is
now in France. Rudolph H., OF Ger.
MANY. offered for it 1900 ducats.

READERS of Dickens remember well
the vigorous publication Of the tender
youths confided to the guardianship Oh
Mr.. Squeers; the regular dose of brim-
stone and treacle served re1entlessly
and without discrimination. To-day in
England, at Harrow, the boys are doc
tored en- masse. Each one is served
with two grains of quinine at morning
and night, as safeguard against the
influenza The drug is administered
after prayers, and the ceremony has
thus double solemnity. AS the boys
go out in single file they are met by the
matron, who gives each one his choice
of powder or pill. The choice is made,
the drug is swallowed and so the line is
gradually shortened.

In Russia a child 10 years of age can
not go away from home to school with
out passport. Servants and peasants
cannot go away from where they live
without passport. A gentleman re-
siding in st. Petersburg or Moscow can
not receive the visit of friend who re-
mains many hours without notifying
the police of his arrival, as the case
may be. The porters of all houses are
compelled to make returns of the ar
rival and departure of strangers. And
for everyone Of the above passports a
charge is made of some kind.

NICARAGUA has $4,000 square miles
and $50, 900 people. The resources are
great. especially in fine hard woods,
dye woods, rubber and other plants.
Sugar, coffee and indigo are largely
cultivated Maize and potatoes grow
abundantly in the highlands. Mic
aragua is especially well adapted for
live stock, and on the eastern shore of
her great lake thousands of cattle are
raised. Gold has been discovered re-
Gently. The trade of Nicaragua with
the United States exceeds that of any
other country. Coffee, crude rubber,
bananas, hides and skins are sent
to the United States, and machinery,
iron, steel, wheat, flour, provisions and

Uruguay. like Paraguay, is a great
cattle and sheep country. Her $50, 600
people and $4,000 square miles are meat
producing. The great problem is how
to dispose of the surplus. Large quanti-
ties of frozen meat are exported. Cattle
are killed for their hides and tallow.
The annual product of wool is 20, 600, 600
pounds. valued at $4,000, 900. The soil
is rich. and such of it as is cultivated
produces the same crops that grow in
the United States. Within the last four
years trade has been developing be-
tween the United States and Uruguay.
This country takes from Uruguay bones
and bone-ash, COW hides and horse hair,
and sells to Uruguay lumber, kerosene
cotton goods and machinery. The for.
eign trade of Uruguay amounts to $685.
600, 00e a year. The trade with this
country is $4,000. 900, and with other
countries, $50, 900. 600.

4 QUEER ARGUMENT.

Al Eastern dispatch in discussing
the effect of the death of Mrs. Har-
rison says:
The Democrats have taken down
their great Cleveland and Stevenson
banner that hung across Pennsylvania
avenue and will not put it up again
until aft the funeral. At such a
timeas this noeyent is too solemn to be
kept entirely out of politics, and peo>
pie are beginning to ask quietly what
effect the Presidents bereavement
viii have upon his chances for re
election. Various ingenious theories
are being propomded, of which these
may be taken as examples. Mr..
Harrison loss will naturally create
sympathy for HIM and make people
reluctant To add to hi burdens by
defeating him. 1t viii also deprive
the Democrats of the opportunity to
use much % their ammunition III the
form of personal attacks. But on the
other hand, attacks of this sort
usually do more harm than good
to the party that engagss IN them, 50
that the Democrats do not really lose
anything by being prevented from
making that sort OF campaign,
The idea that the death of a lady
whose husband Is the head Of one
party helps the other party by de-
driving it of the campaign privileges
Of mud singing is certainly unique.

Restitution,

A builder in Avise, village in Cham
payne. was arrested by two gendarmes
and taken to Chalons, where the judge
d'instruction commenced the converse
ton in the way usual to his calling by
saying, "You are thief and an assas-
SIM" After this polite greeting he went
on to remark that a murder, accompa-
MED by theft, had been committed in
the neighborhood, and small boy had
given it as his opinion that the builder
was the murderer.
The poor prisoner naturally felt indig-
nant, and declared he was ready to
prove an alibi. But of course he was
not believed, and every day for three
days he was marched through Chalons
and Avise with handouts upon his
wrists. At the end of that time the
judge d'instruction said to him: 'We
were wrong. Your innocence has been
proved. You are free"
"Yes, disgraced and ruined" added
the poor builder. "Who do You think
will employ me after seeing me led
through the streets handcuffed like a
felon" The heart of the man was
touched. True" he said, 1--WE have
done you an injury, my good man." And
he pressed into the hand of the builder
ten franc piece.-Paris Letter.

a pricstly Curer of Ills.


Another miracle worker has recently
come into prominence in this vicinity.
He is a Catholic priest without parish,
and the medical fraternity attribute his
alleged cures to imagination, which, as
all doctors know, is worth tons of medi-
cine in many cases. 1t seems an estab-
Gshed fact, however, that a man who
for years has been tortured with respi-
ration several times as rapid as the
normal, and who had consulted many
eminent physicians without relief, got
rid of his trouble between dawn and
dark of single day after an application
of prayer and holy relics, and that all of
his ailing acquaintances have ever since
kept the priests door ajar, some of them
going away in the belief that they have
been permanently benefited.
The worker of these alleged cures,
who attributes his success to divine aid,
is a stalwart man of fifty years-a man
of the kind whom the weak and credu-
lous would instinctively obey SO far as
their nerves and muscles would allow
and if he has compelled a lot of hypo-
chondriacs to once more come under
their own control he has done great
deal of good whatever may be his meth
cd, or lack of it. Such men are of un-
speakable service to physicians, all of
whom, in this vicinity, are haunted by a
lot of people who imagine themselves i'll
and who are sure they know what is the
matter with them.-New York Cor. Chi
cago Tribune.

out of the question, it may be confessed
that there is no race among whom beau.
ty is common. If the ancient Greeks
were like their statues, then there once
was beautiful race, but it is not so
certain that they did not idealize them
selves good deal. There is the more
reason to guess this, as when they have
to represent q barbarian, say Gaul or
a German or Il professional prize fighter,
they make these people as handsome as
themselves, though in a rougher way.
There is famous bronze statue Of
boxer, who might be taken for an orator
or poet We're it not for his heavy metal
studded gloves. Thus it may be deemed
that there is a great proportion of the
ideal in these statues, vases, coins and fig
ures, where every one is SO graceful and
goodly. Every nation has high opin-
ion of its own charms. The French
pride themselves on small feet, and it is
certain that their women walk very lit
tie, and have cunning bootmakers.

Kent the Least for Himself.

Three ragged newsboys were trying
to sell the earlier editions Of the after
noon papers. A man carrying q large
basket of fine looking oranges on his
shoulder passed close by. The motion
of his body loosened one of the biggest
and ripest and it fell to the ground. The
man kept on, not noticing or caring for
the loss. The orange lay upon the pave
ment for about half minute unseen.
Then the largest of the three ragged
urchins spied it, and with a cry of de-
light he ran over and picked it up. 1t
was natural to suppose that he would
proceed to eat it all himself but instead
of doing so he called his companions and
exhibited his'tind. They eyed it greed
lily.
Without any request from them for a
share in the coveted fruit the finder di-
vided the orange into three parts and
gave his fellow newsboys each a part.
The smallest part he reserved for him
self. 1t was only a small thing in itself,
yet it proved, l thought, that there was
something noble hidden under the ragged
garments of that little urchin.-New
York Recorder.

The Democratic party of Illinois
would undoubtedly press General
Palmer to the front with far more eager
ness if it could knock decade Off OF
the venerable old gentleman's age.
Seventy-four is rather discouraging
figure. Still there have been some ex-
traordinary nonagenarians, even; and,
IN extreme cases, ninety has not been a
disabling age. Won Moltke maintained
his position at the head of the German
army when he was upwards of ninety.
The Emperor Wilhelm retained perfect
possession of his faculties till his death
in his ninety-fourth year, we believe.
Old Field Marshal Won Wrangel, on
whose staff Emperor Wilhelm served at
the battle of Waterloo, could hold his
own till his hundredth year. Lord
Brougham, Gladstone, Bismarck, Gort.
chakoff. and many other European
statesmen, were powerful in action and
debate to an extreme age. Gladstone is
the great leader OF the English liberals
today at eighty four. Nevertheless it is
hard to habituate Americans to the idea
that age itself is not necessarily dis
qualification. On that account the
Palmer boom can scarcely be called
more than boomlet.
