A Valuable Relic.

The second book printed in the En-
glish language was "The Game and
Playe of the Cheese, which the title
page says was "Fynyshid the last day
of Marche, the yer of our lord god a
thousande foure hundred and
LXXIIj." Only twelve copies of the
work are now known to exist. In 1913
an Englishman by the name of Al
chlorine sold his copy for sum equal
to S270 Of United States currency.
Fifty-six years later, in 1869, the same
volume Gan imperfect copy was sold
for So, $50. The British Museum has
refused an offer of $40, 900 for its
copy, which. is imperfect to the ex-
tent Of having seven leaves missing.

Waste s team.

A Western engineer has patented
a device by the use of which the
steam that is often allowed to go to
waste when locomotive is standing
at a way station taking wood or
water, can be. utilized for pumping
water for the tanks or reservoirs
around the station, It is customary,
at most large stations, to have a sta
tionary engine and steam pump for
raising the water, but the inventor
claims by an arrangement this cost of
fuel is saved, while the cost of add
ing the Improvement will be less than
the cost of the pumping arrangement
now in use.

bishop Corrigan is unconsciously dcccp-
tive, in all his disposition is secretive.
For example, his personal appearance
gives his fifty years the scmblancc of
forty, his retiring habits make one sus-
pect his ability to lead, his devotion to
routine seems to exclude effective inter
est in affairs not diocesan, his silence
under widespread aspersion argues in
difference to public praise or blame.
Among the priests of his years his fresh
color, unwrinlllcd skin, alert movement,
give him boyish air. He has few con-
tidants, perhaps none. He is seen for a
few minutes at time by the crowds
that bcsicgc his doors, for few hours
once year by the pastors whose mis-
sions he visits officially. Hence the
general ignorance of his character,
which is nowhere more surprising than
in New York.
How smoothly amid trying circum-
stances diocesan life in NcwYorl moves
on. Dr. McGlynn vainly cxhorted the
hosts of labor to rise against Archbishop
CorriSan for having dismissed their
champion. The daily irritation aroused
by the mingling of races is never per-
mitted to continue, the complaints car
ried to Rome are ncutralized by answer
ing fact and diplomacy, and the surface
calm is steadily maintained. The paro-
chial schools are strengthened yearly
i'll number and efficiency TO do all
this, together with the routine work of
the diocese, to preserve order, prevent
quarrcls and scandals and deal SO skill
fully with foreign populations and their
protectors, requires more patience
courage, tact and prudence than men
have been ready to place to the credit
of Archbishop Corrigan. A moments
thought will convince any experienced
person that such results are not secured
by accident. In the opinion of some
people they prove the archbishop to be
an administrator of consummate ability,
and of undoubtcd courage. His diff
dencc has been called timidity, and his
love of retirement Indifference to the
general welfare The man who can adj
minister for years so difficult diocese
and retain the youthful face and manner
which are the archbishop's can lack
neither courage nor knowledge. His
appearance secures him friends
wherever he goes. Ills speech at the
banquet to the archbishop of ST. Louis
aroused boundlcss enthusiasm by its
straightforward declaration of Amcri-
can principles, its courage and its 1T
ness.
Archbishop Corrigan's enemies say he
has his limitations, his deficiencies, even
his faults. All, however, admit his up
rightncss. his picty, his courtesy.

ARCHBISHOP C0R ,iEl
Manners and Disposition of the
New York Prelate.
Everybody Talks About Him, but Only N
Few Know IIim--IIis characteristics
Analysed by an Unbiased
Newspaper Man.

The present archbishop of New York
ought To be the best known prclatc in
the country, if newspaper notoriety can
make man known. For nearly two
years, says the New York Tribune, the
American press gave him extraordinary
attention in connection with the George
Mcdlynn controversy, attention SO close
and far-rcaching that the mcancst
sheets of the stupidcst towns in the
country served up weekly accounts Of
hum to their readers. That notoricty
docs not make a man known is cxcm-
plitcd in the case of Archbishop Corri-
gan, who has never been properly
known, in one mans opinion even 10y
his own counscllors His position at
the head of the most important diocese
in the country, perhaps in the world,
leaves him open to odious comparisons
The admirers of Hughes, of Gibbons, of
Ireland, of Spalding complain that he
has not the courage of the first, the tact
of the cardinal, the force of ireland, the
literary taste of Pcoria's bishop; that
he takes no active interest in the rcncr-
al welfare of the church in America,
being too content with diocesan routine
work; in consequence the influence
which an archbishop of New York
might WELD at Rome and in America
for the general good is lost to the
church.
These comparisons are made by men
who like and respect the archbishop,
and who feel the need of a leader, which
they do not find in him. The same com
PARSONS are made by men who dislike
him for reasons not very clear and often
unsound. 1t is unnecessary to dispute
the fairness of the comparisons, since
the archbishop can have force, tact
courage and literary taste without dis
playing them in the same way as the
prclatcs named. In many things Arch

and waist, made so full that il hangs
over at the waist almost like blouse,
a deep rutile OF point lace over it at the
meek, another one, narrower, coming
from under the fullness, at the waist
gives charming effect and is es-
'pccially becoming to II very thin figure.
Another one is folded over-this one in
!pink--surplice fashion, except that the
surplice stops when 1t gets to The center
of the bodice instead of going under the
arm, and is there rolled together in
loose folds. Out of these folds comes q
dainty lace edge in wheel pattern Of
point, embroidered right into the chif-
fon. The full, gauzy sleeves are also
edged with this lace. What effect could
he pretticr under the soft light of can
dclabra?
OF course the latest way of wearing
the hair is to have it parted in the mid
die and waved softly down over the
brows. But unfortunately. the style is
very trying and suits so few people that

rotntocs Growing like rcnsc.

Wellbaugh and Chcning, in their cX
plorations i'll the Colombian Andes,
have discovered a species of potato the
vines of which were covered with we'll
developed tubcrs growing in the open
air like pcase or tomatoes. Each pota
to is protected by thin film or mem
branc, not unlike that which cnvclops
the ground cherry" They do not
grow in clusters, each being given
plenty of space in which to thoroughly
mature. The natives say that during
the dry season the membrane surround

which in Il measure protects it from tho

"Why, yes, my child" said the
mother, ''hc certainly must come to-

But he can't" persisted the little
one. "cause this is not his day"

BRAZlL'S NEW PRESIDENT.

Floriano Peixoto, the Discreet Successor
of the iothcadcd Fonseca.
The new president of Brazil, Floriano
PeiXotO, is Il man differing radically in
character from the first chief executive
of the new republic, and under his rule
the chaotic state of the various disaf-
fcctcd provinces has been reduced to
order and the government is beginning
to redress their grievances
Fonseca was man lacking in every
respect those attributes of statesman
ship and the leadership necessary to di-
rect the affairs of nation. He was
vain, arrogant and obstinate, and at
heart a royalist, although posing as n
republican. PeiXoto is not only libcr-
nj thinker, and man of broad culture,
but he is a statesman rs well, and won
the confidence of the Brazilian nation
by public career as brilliant us it has
been honest and patriotic.
The province of Rio Grandc do Sui
was the most difficult with which to
deal, and for some time after Peixotos

or powder monkey, on board the Re.
doubtable, from which vessel Nelson is
said to have received his death wound.
Upon the surrender of his ship to the
English fleet he was removed as IL pris-
oncr of war to England, where he re-
manned for fourteen years. An addi-
tional interest centers round this old
and hardy gentleman, for not only is he
an attractive hero to the modern Eng
lishman in linking this age with the
historic past, but in France he is none
the less renowned in being the DOZEN
of the order of the Legion d Uonneur NJ.
Cartigny is extremely proud, not only of
his record but of his medals, and upon
the celebration of his centenary last
year was an object of much interest to
the French people. 1t is TO be hoped
that the existence of this hero, though
unknown to the English visitors at
lIyercs, may be made known to the
queen, and that She may be permitted,
with her customary liindlness of tispo-
sition, to honor the French people by
paying Il visit to the doyen of the Legion
Il Uonneur and ut the same time to form
link with an interesting historic event
