Blaine . Trine Better.

WARRINGTON, Dec. 20.-The shadow of another national sorrow lies heavily upon the capital. The possibility of the death of James G. Blaine at any moment carries with it Q feeling of depression in every de- partment, throughout congress and into almost every home in Washington.
 A Rleam of sunshine relieved the shadow, because the morning opened with the news that the patienG had slept soundly and nat urally during the night and that he felt much better.
 The members of the Blaine family were more cheerful during the day, and some of them even expressed to intimate friends their hope that the patient might recover sufficient strength to be taken to a climate where his life might be considerably pro longed. All the immediate members of the family are now here. Mrs. Damrosch came over from New York last week, and the widow of Emmons Blaine has also joined the household, while James G. Blaine, Jr., and Miss Hattie Blaine have been con stantly assisting their mother in attend ance upon the patient. Young MT. Blaine and Miss Hattie received most of the call CTS at the house.
 MT. Blaine's condition was the subject oi sympathetic conversation among members of congress irrespective ot party.
 "Mr. Blaine maintains the hold he ser cured when his condition showed . slight improvement" was the reply of Dr. w. w. Johnston, when asked how his famous patient was. "Mr. Blaine is still in full possession of his faculties" continued Dr, Johnston, land while very weak he is never. theless as cheerful as could be expected He converses as freely as he is permitted to do by his family and partakes regularly oi nourisnment. It is impossible to state how long MT. Blaine is likely to survive. Specu. lation on such 8 subject would simply be idle nonsenseo
 MT. Blaine's physicians undoubtedly feal the worst. MT. Blaine's life is limited by the progress of the organic disease which hour by hour is accomplishing its work and which in a short time must claim tta victim.

The Pope |. Angry.

ROME, Dec. 15.-Much irritation exists at the Vatican on account of the attacks made by certain American Catholic journals on the person and the mission of Mgr. Satolh. It Is learned that as regards the opposition made to the policy of the pope the Vatican may cause an inquiry to be made into its origin The holy father is desirous that his agents shall be respected and that his views of pacification in the United States shall be followed. If there be any need of it the pope will in this instance also take severe measures with those who oppose his intervention. 1t is believed here that the Vatican knows whence the hostile Ameri- can criticisms proceed.

ANIMALS VIEW OF MEN.

They Fear the Savage Moro Than the
Civilized Being.
Savage man, who has generally been
first in contact with animals, Is usually
n hunter, and therefore an object of dis
like to the other hunting animals, and
of dread to the hunted. But civilized
man, with his supply Of bread and beef,
is not necessarily n hunter, and it Is
Just conceivable that he might be con-
tent to leave the animal in q newly dis
covered country unmolested, and con-
descend, when not better employed, to
watch their attitude toward himself,
says the Popular Science Monthly.
The impossible island in 1.-THE Swiss
Family Robinson" in which half the
animals of the two hemispheres were
collected, would be an ideal place for
such an experiment. But, unfortun'
ately, uninhabited islands seldom con.
tain more than few species, and those
.generally birds or sea beasts; and in
newly discovered game regions savage
man has generally been before us with
his arrow, spears and pitfalls.
Some instances of the first contact OF
animals with man have, however, been
preserved In the accounts of the early
voyages collected by HalSluyt and
others, though the hungry navigators
were generally more intent on victual.

essary care to build them with equal
additions on every side, and by thus
giving them n firmly erect position. A
regular system in cutting each shock
may be adopted, saving time and labor.
which the accompanying figure
may fully explain. The field Is
cut by taking five rows of
hills at time. and placing the
shocks in the center one. Twenty-Five
hills will make one shock, the center
being first taken; all the others are cut
and placed around it II the corn is of
a large variety, three hills will be as
much as the operator will hold in the
grasp of his left arm while he cuts
them with his right hand and places
them against the forming shock. In
the figure, the shock is larger and in
the center; and the first three hills are
those indicated by the letters AAA, car
ried to the shock on the dotted line.
The next three are BBB, cut and
placed beside the others Each sue
cessive three are marked by the letters
CCC, ODD, ZEE, FIFE, GGG and HHH;
and being taken and cut in this regular
order they will be placed in separate
positions equally all around the shock,
and the laborer can hardly avoid max
ing it equally upright The regular
system will abridge his steps, and make
the work much easier than cutting at
random. As every shock requires the
same order, the operator soon becomes
accustomed to it and works rapidly.
The same general course will apply to
larger shocks, or to those made Of
smaller corn. With slight modification,

rows show the direction FOR the oper-
ator to worl:. In making q single
shock, ii the hills are three and half
feet apart, it will require about ten
rods walking, and for field of hun
dred shocks, more than three miles;
while with an irregular mode, without
system, several miles would be re-
quired. Saving the fodder would be
still more important, making all the
difference between such us Is fresh,
green and uninjured, and that which is
destroyed by prostration and rotting

NEW KIND OF DIVORCE.
A Young and GuIleIess Bride Wanted to
Get 1t.

Young ana SUllclcss Bride Wanted to
Get 1t.
She was shy young thing. apparent
" not long severed from her mothers
apron strings, and, as she edged her
way into the Denver police headquar-
ters, with furtive glances and sup
pressed voice, the Times says she was
a picture worth gazing at II required
considerable clearing OF the throat and
bracing of the nerves before she could
muster up sufficient courage TO spin her
story
do you know anything about di-
vorces?"
The officer in charge grasped the rail
to steady himself. Though used to
questions Of thousand hues, he was
taken off his guard by that. Besides,
he, in the method common to guardi-
ans of the peace, had already sized up
the girl and jumped at 4 number of
conjectures at her errand. But the
crestfallen officer didn't come within
several lengths OF the bulls-eye- He
had supposed that parent or d brother
loomed up in the background of her
mission, or, by 4 chance shot, lover;
never husband.
Nevertheless he proved equal to the
emergency, pulled himself together in
gallant style and made n show Of
knowledge on the divorce problem.
The story in a nutshell is this: Mar
ried fortnight or so. Tired of mat
rimony. Mutual. The spoony hubby
of a few weeks standing had failed to
settle wifey's board bill. Moral: "nnn't
you think 1 could get divorce be-
cause he hasn't paid my board?'
"What good would that do?" persist
ed the officer, maintaining gravity Of
composure with great effort. Then
you would have to pay your own bill"
"Oh, that isn't the idea at ALL" she
exclaimed, with a look of pity for his
.obtuseness. "Why can't get 4 divorce
from him and compel him to support
me until get married again?"
The officer rushed to the tank for a
glass of ice water to check a dizzy
feeling that crept down his spinal col
umn, and when he recovered he polite
ly referred the foxy young bride to
