There is a good deal of unneces-
sary kicking over the appointment
of Van Allen to foreign mission,
because he contributed to Demo-
cratic campaign fund. If this APP
pointment was a matter of bargain
and sale. promised as condition
of a $4,000 subscription to the
campaign fund, then it is in order
to condemn it. But if this cannot
be SHOWN, it is only another
method Of saying that no man who
has contributed to party cam
paign fund is eligible to an APP
pOintment under the administra-
tion Of the party that he assisted
to elect. This is too attenuated for
regular wear.

Michael Y. Cannon, the brilliant
head of the irish-American party
in the United States, Is so disgust
ed with the actions of the Irish at
home i'm their divisions and hoStil-
ity to Home Rule that he has re-
signed the presidency Of the Amer
lean branch. He says that the
farther raising Of money in Ameri-
ca for the cause of Irish autonomy
is at an end. Michael is right, and
his conclusions are sound. Ireland
will draw less from the faithful in
this country than ever before.
Galveston has contributed $2,273
more for Louisiana relief than San
Antonio has done. This is by no
means as it should be. There is no
city in the south better able to do
her share in meeting the distress
and restitution caused by the awful
calamity that fell upon that Lou
isiana coast coast country than San
Antonio is, and she should take
prompt measures to bring her gifts
into sight and forward them to
those who are perishing for lack of
supplies and medicines.
The Southern Pacific through it's
vice president announces that it
will not attempt to prevent a
ticketless tourist looking for work
from boarding the trains. He
thinks the company will save
money by accepting the inevitable
and letting the boys ride, particu-
larly when the train crew cannot
help it. There is a sound philo-
sophy in this way of looking at
it, especially in that proviso.

In spite of the learned historian by
whom the story has been refuted, there
Is still widespread popular belief that
there existed in the middle ages a fe-
malo pope. Pope Joan, as she is called,
has even given her name to IL game of
cards, which is mentioned in Sheridans
school For Scandal"
The tradition with regard to the fc-
male pope has been traced back to the
eleventh century, but She is said to have
lived much earlier, her pontiiicate hav-
ing taken place in the ninth century and
having lasted for more than two yeass.
The name she is alleged to have assumed
is John VII. AT the last meeting of the
Academy of Inscriptions in Paris, NJ.
Muntz dealt another blow at story
which Gibbon, who cannot be suspected
of Catholic prejudices, considered had
been "annihilated" by two Protestant
critics, Blondel and Bayle.
M. Muntz characterizes the legend as
vulgar fable invented in the middle
ages. Never, ho declares, after a care
full study of the question, has woman
worn the tiara, and moreover there was
no interrcgnum at the period when the
pretended John VII governed the church.

Tho Kol Nut us n stimulant.

Half n kola nut will, says Mr.. G. f.
Scott Elliott, in his report on the botany
of Sierra Leone, enable a man to go with
out food and support great fatigue for
"a hours or more. 1t is an excellent
nerve tonic, and is especially good for
keeping the brain clear and active at
night. Itprevents sleep, however, almost
too thoroughly, and should not be taken
less than four hours before bedtime.
1t is said to remove Immediately and
thoroughly the unsteadiness and stupid
ity due to drunkenness. 1t grows freely
everywhere, thrives wherever planted,
seems to require no special condition of
coil and yields at the rate of $500 per
acre. Another property attributed to
this nut is that of rapidly clearing foul
water and improving beer.-Invention

GHOSTS AT HAMPTON COURT.

The Apparitions Still Startlc tho InhnEi-
tants of the Place.
The ghosts ut Hampton Court palace
still arc said to brighten tho inhabitants
and officials of the place, and even visit
ors, it is declared, are not EXEMPT. sew
eral of them having terminated their
visits abruptly owing to the noises they
have heard. A resident in tho palace
sends to the London Graphic an account
OF an apparition seen by an attendant in
the gardens, who was sitting on Il bench
waiting Tor the inspector to pass on his
rounds at night, when suddenly he felt
a hand laid upon his face, and looking
up saw tall, pale lady dressed in gray.
He sprang up ut once. but she vanished
before his eyes, and the shock caused by
the apparitiOn was so great that he had
to resign his post. He became so nerv-
GUS that he was absolutely afraid to re-
main i'll the gardens at night
Nor are the ghosts confined to the gar
dens, for few nights ago two of the
maid servants, fancying they smelled
something burning, went down one of
the staircases i'll the middle of the night
and met tall, pale lady with "a reflect
ed light on her face" and dressed in black.
She, too, vanished through one of the
queens gates, though the door itself was
shut, and no footsteps could be heard
Other servants i'll the palace have been
visited by these royal ghosts. One serv-
ant declares that she felt something
come and touch her face in the dark
when she was asleep in bed, and another
maid sleeping i'll the next room called
out to her to leave off WALKING ,bont
her room," rs she heard footsteps NOV
ing about. Several visitors to the pal
ace have noticed extraordinary noises in
particular room, and only Il few
months ago two ladies were standing
talking near this room at about II 80 one
night when they heard loud crash and
saw Il brilliant light flash through the
room, sight which they could not ac-
count for i'll any way. The Graphic's
informant is positive that no practical
joker is the author of the disturbances,
as has been suggested in some quarters.

a Vicious Fish.

In South America there is small fish
that not only attacks its fellows of the
sea and river, but is greatly dreaded by
the natives. who during certain seasons
have to ford the streams in which the
carbitos are found. Bathers are often at
tackled by them, the sharp, chisel shaped
teeth taking a bit from the flesh wher-
