When Chicago's Apollo comman-
derry Of Knights Templar went on a
trip to Europe, Judge Bradwell was
an honored member Of the party.
Now wherever Judge Bradwell goes
he is bound to inspect everything that
is to be seen. In London the lord
mayor gave dinner to the comman-
derry, with all the pomp and ceremony
OF such an affair. Judge Bradwell
had front seat, and, mayhap, tab,
on. this red letter occasion. The lord
mayors herald, who officiated at the
banquet, wore wig, upon the top of
which was perched small three cor
nered cooked hat, boys size, and the re-
port fled around the table that this hat
was 200 years old. 1t certainly looked
it. When the report reached Judge
Bradwell he thought he must see the
hat, SO he asked the herald to hand il
over. That dignitary Strengthened
himself up and addressed the lord
mayor as follows: ME lord, the gen

1.-THE making of sleigh bells is
quite an art" says an iron founder.
1.-THE little iron ball is too big to be
put in through the holes in the bell,
and yet it is inside. How did it get
there2 The little iron ball is called
the jinglet. When you shake the
sleigh bell it jingles. In making the
bell the jinglet is put inside a little
ball of mud, just the shape of the in
side of the bell Then a mold is
made, just the shape of the outside
of the bell. This mud ball with the
jinglet inside is placed in the mold
of the outside, and the metal is poured
in, which fills up the space between
the ball and the mold.
when the mold is taken off you
see sleigh bell, but it will not ring,
as it is full of dirt. The hot metal
that the bell is made of dries the dirt
so that it can be shaken out. After
the dirt is all shaken out of the holes
in the bell the little iron jinglet will
still be in the bell and will ring. 1t
took good many years to think out
how to make sleigh bell. Lewis

Besides this affection, which made life
burden to Mccarthy, he was also subject
to fits of temporary Inconsistencies, ana
could go nowhere without an attendant.
He consulted the best medical talent in the
country, but could obtain no relief, and
the possibility of death came to be, to
him, not IN altogether unwelcome contii-
gency. Some one advised him to see
Father Adams and more with spirit OF
resignation than hope he called on the
priest. He was informed that there was
no certainty Of cure, but that il he
would put his entire trust In God 1t might
please him to hearken to his prayers.
At the foot Of little altar in the back
room Father Adams and Mccarthy prayed
fervently Then the suppliant was rubbed
with the relics, through which the priest
believes that the Almighty is pleased to
bless his efforts in behalf of suffering hu-
manity. When the hotel keeper arose
there was no perceptible change for the
better, but hope had displaced despair, and
he returned to his place OF business IN a
more cheerful frame of mind than he had
known in three years. AT o'clock that
afternoon the stertorous breathing sud
denly ceased, and since then his respiration
has been about the same as that Of any
person in good health.
Father Adams has scores of visitors each
day now, and asks no fee. only taking
money when it is voluntarily offered by
those who, he knows, can afford it. He is
probably the most sought after man in
Brooklyn today. Mccarthy will shortly

Not tn. ola style Cat an

Not the Old style Cat and Dog Story.
Here is cat and dog story, for the
truth and accuracy Of which the
proud inhabitants of the Swiss vii
lage where it occurred are one and
all ready to vouch. A troublesome
cat in the village had been doomed
to watery death, and the children
of the owner had been told off to
take it in sack to the River Aar
and there to drown it. The house
dog accompanied the party to the
execution, which was carried out &C
cording to parental instructions.
But much to the surprise Of the in
mates, short time after the cat and
dog, both soaking wet, reappeared
together at their owners door This
is what had happened: The dog, on
seeing that the sack containing the
cat was thrown into the river,
jumped after it, seized it with his
teeth, dragged it to the bank, tore it
with his teeth and restored his
friend, the cat, to life and liberty. It
goes without saying that the death
warrant of the cat was destroyed af-
ter this marvellous escapade.-Pali

The origin of the diamond,


The diamond is still one of the
mysteries of geology. When the
South African fields were discovered
there was much establishment to find
the gem in a series of minerals quite
different from those in which it had
been hitherto found in India and
Brazil. Instead of lying beside tour
maline, anatase and brookite, it was
mingled with a breccia of magnetism
rocks which had evidently been
pushed up from below, and a great
variety of minerals, such as diopside,
mica, zircon and corundum, were i'm
bedded along with it.
Some have supposed that the dia-
mond was originally formed where
it is now picked up, and the presence
of carbureted gas and carboniferous
rocks is in favor of the idea; but, on
the other hand, the broken condition
of some of the stones, and other facts,
make it far more probable that the
diamond has been elected from a
deeper source. Good News.

What are known as "Pinard's
sandwiches" are much used at high
teas and afternoon receptions. They
are made from narrow rolls that are
about four or FIVE inches long and
quite thick, and known to the baker
as finger rolls. Cut the rolls and
scrape out a good part of the crumb
without breaking the outside. Butter
the shells and fill them with various
mixtures Of meat chopped fine and
seasoned to taste. Chicken, tongue,
ham, and sardine sandwiches may be
made, or they may all be of a kind.

A man went into the postoffice of a
neighboring town recently and told
the postmaster that he desired thir-
teen two cent stamps for cent and a
quarter. The postmaster refused to
give them to him, stating that the
cost would be twenty-six cents. The
man persisted in getting his order,
claiming that he could get them at
any Office for that amount, and even
threatened the government official if
he continued to refuse him. Finally
the postmaster ordered him out, but
the man, nothing daunted, took a
cent and a twenty-five cent piece
from his pocket, and laying them
down on the corner he received his
stamps for cent and quarter. The
postmaster was a little discounted
for awhile, but now enjoys the joke
as well as any one.-Cause.

q poor nose for place Of great re-
sponsibility. He had remarked that
when the nose was large enough to

be looked for. The man with In
sufficient nose ventilations was liable
to get into the blues, to lose presence
Of mind and to have heavy head.
Marshal Ney had a poor nose and
q weak character. He was incapable
Of conceiving plan, and needed the
stimulus OF battle to clear the cob
webs from his brain. Massena, the
most resourceful Of all Bonaparte's
marshals, was large nosed. So was
Bernadotte, the most clever in In
trigue and the least given to hero
worship. Gambetta had Q large
nose and small amount Of brain.

Jumped in after him, pulled him to

What Is the origin of the Christ
mas treei This question has been
much debated. 1t has been identi-
fed with the cross of Christian ira
dition and with the Yule log of
pagan antiquity. NJ. de Gubernatis
has contended that it is reminis-
cence Of solar mythology, and other
savants have deliberately developed
other theories more or less fantastic.
Among the most probable, however,
IL the suggestion of Palus Cassel that
1t Is a Jewish emblem in disguise
DIR. Cassel points out, in the first
place, that Hanucah and Christmas
occur very closely together in the
calendar. He then reminds us that
both are feasts Of lights, and that
the memorial or candlestick used by
the Jews on Hanucu's is frequent
" carved with representations Of
leaves, flowers and fruits, which
give it a distant resemblance to a
tree.
The transition of the early Chris
tians from their old faith to the new
was slow process, and they doubt
less carried many Jewish ceremonies
and symbols with them. That the
Hanucah memorial figured in this
baggage is most likely, and it is not
difficult to see how it could become
transmitted into the gayly capari-
soned and illuminated tree which Is
the pivot of all Christmas festivities.

Some workmen digging up the
roots of an old tree in forest had
their labors rewarded by find of
$50 gold and silver coins. This dis
covery was made in 1878, and the
coins, although of the reign of Henry
l, were in a good state of preserva-
ton. Sometimes the pulling down
of house will bring a treasure to
light. On one such occasion a mason
and his laborer found considerable
sum under floor, but as they quar-
relied about dividing the spoil, the
owner of the house heard of the find
and demanded the booty. The coins,
which were of gold and silver, were
of the reigns of Edwards II and III,
and looked as fresh as if just issued
out of the mint. London Tit Bits.
