A House Witt, 1000 Rooms.

The vatican, the ancient palace OF the
popes of Rome, is the most magnificent
building OF the kind in the world. Il
stands on the right bank OF the Tiber, on a
hill called the Vatieanus, because the Lat
ms formerly worshipped Vaticanium, an
ancient oracular deity, at that place. Ex-
ac;ly when the building was commenced
no one knows. Charlemagne is known to
have inhabited it over 1000 years ago.
Ihs present extent Of the building is enor-
nous, the number of rooms, at the lowest
computation, being 4, 422. Its treasures of
marble statues, ancient gems, paintings,
books, manuscript, ETC., are to be compared
only with those in the British museum.
The length of the statue museum alone is a
fraction over a mile. Conservative writer's
say that the gold contained in the msdals,
vessels, chains and other objects preserved
in the vatican would make more gold coins
than the whole of the present European
cireulation.-lixchsnge.

LONDON, March 26.-The papers here pub

story has caused the most intense excite
ment. There is much difficulty in fixing
two of the W~hitechapel murders to viii cS
Deeming is said to have confessed. Alto
gether ten murders are attributed to Jack
the Ripper" but there is much doubt as 10
whether the last two were committed bv
the same hand that committed the Other
eight. The police of the Leman street sta
ton do not place much belief in the CON
fession that Deeming committed the two
last crimes. They admit, however, that if
the confession refers to Alice Mackenzie.

Bicyclists and Beer,

An American correspondent Of The
Wheel, one of a party of cyclists maxi
ing an extended tour through France
on their wheels, is delighted with the
good roads in that country, but COM
ments upon the difficulty they have in
procuring refreshing drinks, the wa
ter being warm and insipid, with q
strong impregnation from limestone;
and no ice, no soda water, as in this
country; lemonade, poor and costly;
and milk difficult to obtain after early
morning. And he adds: 'pf course
there are beer and wine, and stronger
liquor in vast quantities everywhere;
but wheelmen find that they are not
very refreshing to drink while riding.
and, in fact, are positively weakening. ="
This is significant and valuable testi-
mony against alcoholic beverages from
a new quarter. May all cyclists, of
whom there are now SO many, with
their numbers constantly increasing.
and others. make a note Of it

TEMPERANCE NOTES.
KING ALCoHoL's DECREE.

The old serpent Of ali who has large brood,
And all OF such evil renown,
Decided that he who could do the most Ill
Should receive the reward OF q crown
Any name is King Alcohol" proudly he said,
my children call half score;
Whisky, brandy, rum, gin, little cider and
wine,
And in 'bitters' have many more
snow millions Of souls have won from the king,
They gave up themselves to my power:
But so many escaped He who captures the
crowd
Shall receive magnificent DOVER"
Whisky, beer, brandy, gin, rum, each put In q
claim,
items OF thousands we've captured" they
said
While the rosy wine said: ~ rule Ger the
kings
And the great ones who are not AFRAID"
Then came little cider, a sharp, wiry elf,
stand aside, We old dotards," said he;
"You all must confess that the crown which we
seek
Belongs by fair rights unto me.
Who teaches the first stepss without them who
would
Go at all in the way you desire?
Harmless cider they call me, yet am ths 'ne
Who lights the unquenchable fire.
The thirst which lxindle no whisky can slahe
Its cry is forever give more;'

In their safe, happy home, light the fires tina
