BY the death of Cardinal Howard the number of cardinals is now reduced to fifty-one, of whom ten were created by the late Pope Plus TX. and forty-one by the present pope. Twenty-four of their number reside in Rome. They comprise eighteen Italians, three Germans and three French cardinals. Of the remaining twenty-seven cardinals, who reside in their various dioceses, nine are Italian, six French, three Austrian, three Span ish, two Portuguese, one Belgian, one Canadian, one Australian and one American. Of the ffty-one cardinals three are between the ages of forty and fifty, ten between fifty and sixty, twenty between sixty and seventy, twelve between seventy and eighty and six between eighty and ninety. In all eighty-six cardinals have died since the accession of Leo XIII. to the papacy. At scarcely any previous period in it's history has the Sacred college num- bered so few members as at present.

PRESIDENT HARRIsoN's message is heavy and long-so long that com paritivelY few people will wade through its more than fifteen thou sand words. It strikes us as being in the nature of skillful lawyers plea for the acts of the present administra- tion and for the legislation of the repub- lican congress, and an altogether useless and unnecessary one, inasmuch as the court of final appeal-the people-ren- dered it's verdict in the case nearly a month ago. The general style of the message is far below that of those pre- viously written by Mir Harrison; but, the circumstances under which the message was prepared were such as to make it unfair to criticise it from liter ary point of view. It demonstrates one thing very clearly. MT Harrison still clings to protection and the other repub- lican ideas which were so overwhe1mn- ing condemned by the American voters on the eighth of last month.

DANIEL BooNE's bones rest in his be- loved Kentucky, but the house which he built for home and in which he passed his last days is landmark near St. Charles, Mo-, where it still stands in a good state of preservation. In the latter days of the old pioneers life he occupied the attic of the house as both sitting-room and workshop and busted himself making powder horns as souve- nirs for friends. Here, too, he kept the cherrywood coffin he had fashioned with his own hands. Not long before he died he used to lie in the coffin sev- eral times day ''just to try the fit of it," as one of his old acquaintances says. The house was one of the first erected in St. Charles county, and In- dians watched it's building with in- terest.

DURING the last twenty years 32s, 900 divorces have been granted in the courts of the United States. Appalling, isn't it? and might furnish good grounds for the pessimistic fears that family perpe- tuity is in danger, only that while the number of golden weddings almost equals the number of divorces, the num- Der of silver weddings exceeds the di- vorces considerably. According to sta tistics there is no calling or vocation which human beings enter into that shows so small a percentage of total failures as marriage, per cent. being the ratio. A little less study of the di- vorce statistics and little more inves- tigation of the subject of improper marriages might lower the record still more.

SOME impressive facts concerning the danger of infection by paper money have been educed by bacteriological analysis of the bank notes of the Spanish bank of Havana in general cir culation. Attention was drawn to the subject by the fact that circulation in creased the weight of the note in conse- quence of their acquiring foreign mat ter. The examination made showed on the notes in use for some time con- siderable number of microbes, and on some notes as many as 10000 microbes were detected. Eight pathogenic species were encountered, including those of diphtheria and tuberculosis. The result of the examination was that a general warning was issued to the public against the active source of danger. The use of bank notes is at all times attended with a certain degree of risk, and especially in Havana where children have the habit of carrying paper money in their mouths and are thus very liable to swallow the germs of some mortal disease.

THE comparative expenditures of the United States, Great Britain and France are interesting and instructive. They may be briefly summarized as follows: The appropriated expenditure oe the current fiscal year of the United States is $542, ,00O,0O0. Of this about $35, ,0OO,- 900 is for interest on the national debt and .$5O,OOO, ,0OO for the sinking fund, leaving a balance of $457, ,00O, ,OOO for other expenditures. The expenditure of the United Kingdom for the current fiscal year will be 800, ,264 900, or about $450, 100000. Of this. sum $125, ,O0O, 900 goes to interest and sinking fund of the national debt, leaving a balance of $325, ,000, ,000 for all other services, or $142, ,O00, ,00O less than the expenditure of the United States for similar services. With this expenditure Great Britain maintains an army six times as numer- ous as that of the United States, and the most powerful navy in the world, with about Fl ,000 men in actual service, or seven times as many as the sailors and marines in the navy of the United States. France has now the largest national debt of any country in the world, and maintains and immen e army and a most powerful navy. Yet the annual expenditure of France is about $63O,OOO,OOO a year, of which $250, 0,O00,000 goes for the payment of interest and sinking fund of the debt, leaving $3sO, ,OOO, ,OOO to cover all other charges, or less by S7O,OOO,O ,OOO than the expenditure of the United States.

Senate.

The second session of the 52d Congress opened in the Senate with the usual scenes. There was crowded gallery, and a display of flowers that surpassed any previous outburst of floral tributes. Sena- tor Walcott was lost to sight from the front behind an immense tree of roses, and several other embleus rested on his desk. The desks that were not the rest ing place of some design or bouquet were few and far between.
 The good effect of the flowers was heightened by the air of jollity and good fellowship that marked the greetings of Senators for the first time since the late political upheaval.
 Eighteen Senators were absent from their seats, including Senators Gibson, of Louisiana, and Kenna, of West Virginia, Hiscock, of New York; and Senators Ali son, of Iowa, and Jones, of Nevada, who are inlBrussels attending the International Monetary Conference.
 In his opening prayer Chaplain Butler returned thanks for the blessings, indi- vidual and national, that had been vouch- safed since the Senate adjourned, and pleaded for comfort to those who were suffering, or in sorrow, especially the sick in official and public life, and the usual blessings upon the people. ..
 Senator Morrill,, of Vermont, presented the certificates of election of his colleague, Senator Redfield Proctor, of Vermont, for the unexpired term of George F. Edmunds terminating March 8, 1893, and for the ensuing term of six years. Upon the arm of his venerable colleague, Mir. Proctor advanced to the dais of the Vice Presidents desk and MT. Morton admin istered the statutory oath.
 Mr. Sherman (Rep., Ohio) presented the customary resolution instructing the sec retary to inform the House that the Sen ate was ready to proceed to business

Hale Rep., Maine) offered a resolu tion authorizing the President to appoint committee of two to join a similar com mittee on the part of the Senate to inform | the President that a quorum of eacE House was present and that Congress wa: ! ready to receive any communication h. l might have to make. The resolution was adopted and Messrs Hale and German were named as the com mitteR.

HOW We Idve in Arnerioa.

It has long been stoutly asserted that the average American eats better food and wears better clothes than any other creature on earth. But now science comes forward with her search light of fact and reason, to give all needed support to this important claim. The process of proof is as follows: The unit of food value Is known technically as "caloric." The declared average oi the American workingman's rations is $500 calorics per day; the Europeans diet only reaches from 1,790 to 1900 calorics per day; thus demonstrating the nutritive value of our food to be about twice as great as the English mans or the Frenchman's. Prof. At water very properly concludes that those fortunate enough to live in this land of Goshen enjoy some priceless boon: "A rich abundance of the food they need to make the most of them selves and their work" Proper phys ical support is the basis of our animal life and gives that liberal nouPishment necessary for large productions and in- tellectual and moral progress. Let ascetics rave as they please, and get their notices from the cynio tub, it yet follows that correct use of these pro- visions is the main condition of a com fortable ife-aye, of life itself. Bread has divine mission. To abuse eating is gluttony, to have nothing to eat is misery and death, and it seems to us that none may strike the golden mean so efficiently as Americans. Concern ing dress, ask any observant man who has visited Europe to give you the re suit of his experience in this matter. The concurrent verdict is in favor of American attire

UNLESS several republican senators shall vote different from the way they talk itsis probable that the house bills for admission to statehood of Arizona and New Mexico will be taken up and passed by the senate at this session. This IS very desirable for several reasons, not the least of which is that it is be- lieved that both states will send demo- cratic United States senators in time to take their seats next winter.
