Miracle of the Fishes,

Springfield (Ul.) Journal.
There was an unusual spectacle out
at the water works dam for several days
last week. The picture to one who
went out after dark was a generous
body Of water, with here and there
hundreds of lanterns bobbing UP and
down in the blackness of the night.
Many of those who held the lanterns
were out in boats above the dam, while
scores of others stood at the edge of the
water, lear where it went tumbling
over the dam to a depth of several
several inches. Everybody was fishing.
Some had spears, others ordinary pitch
forks, a third class scoops. and many
used simply the tools which nature gave
them-their hands. There were hun
dreds and thousands of fishes, weighing
all the way from a few pounds up to
fifty. They had lost their natural ami
nation, and while not dead they were
so passive that they drlfted along with
the caprice of the waters. 1t was an
easy matter TO catch them. Frank Don
nelly, at the water works. caught and
has sailed down several hundred pounds
for use. Many others were similarly
fortunate, and will not go meat hungry
for weeks. The theory at the water
works is that some one had exploded
several blasts of dynamite up stream
aud had stunned the fish. Those en-
plOyed at the works remember a jar in
the waters which could be easily ex-
planned as resulting from such an ek-

tories of 1860 the college and church Of
Loretto have been allowed to fall into
slow decay. The 100000 pilgrims who
visit this shrine annually should be
able to sustain the place In style suited
to the splendor of the legend.
The holy house itself is very small
and very plain, even for a jewish car
penter. 1t is % feet in length, 1913 in
width and 1917 in height. The marble
screen which surrounds it is we'll
worthy of the brilliant pontiff Leo x,
a generous patron of art and liter
ature, a mae who made the higher
civilization advance by strides and
leaps, even though he did neglect to
reconcile or to refute the rude old monk
from Germany. The Italian govern
ment has not yet confiscated the costly
offerings of kings and MOBILES who thus
gave objective expression to their piety.
There is a carving here which, if tradi-
ton be true, must be II of the oldest
works of Christian art in the world.
Those who study Scripture know that
St. Luke was a physician; not so many
know him as an artist. The Virgin and
child of the holy house, carved in
cedar, Is attributed to the accomplished
evangelist.
The coarse stonework of the original
masonry may still be seen in the inside
of the holy house. For a long time it
used to be said that the house was built

Hawaiian Star.
A Chinese artist came here on the last
Oriental steamer and has been selling
ONE queer things in red, green and
yellow to his admiring countrymen. He
paints or silk and linen as a rule. but
will turn off genre pieces on white
paper. His taste, however, runs to large
pictures on grass-cIoth, painted In a
panoramic way, which permits him to
sketch a scene along several lineal feet
OF space. Accustomed as he has been
at home to paint by the acre and with
both hands, he is not dismayed by a
huge canvas, but with calmness and
industry will proceed to illuminate a
whole set of bed sheets with blue elms
and green roses and diabolical Chinese
gods and women and lovers.
One picture that he showed a reporter
last night was said to represent a gar
den party, though it needed some as
was a catastrophe al sea. What looked
like the raging main, however, was
really a Chinese turf; and the boat and
~bedraggled object in the foreground
was not a wreck, but a tree. An awful
print of a lost Celestial maid in the
grasp of a devil fish proved to be one of
on Acknowledged damosel tWined In the
leaves and tendrlls of a Towering shrub.
Instead Of slippery SQuidS, as one might
have supposed. were tambourineS; and
a rock in the boiling serge was only a
pagoda set in heather and bushes.
A series Of small paintings told a ro-
mantle story very dear to the Chinese
heart. The hero of the pictorial tale

having become an athlete under the
teaching of his wife, who was a female
Samson. Together they challenged the
world without soft gloves, and 'bar
none" In course of time, however. war
came and the wife was overpowered
and taken away, leaving the husband
very miserable. AS the artist paints
him standing %mOurnfully at the door of
his deserted lavender house, great YER
million tears roll down his mauve COM
plexion, stain his green vest and
trlckle along his chromatic trousers and
sink into the scarlet and yellow earth.
Then twenty years go by and other
wars ensues. Two armies meet, and the
strongest champions go forth for a pre-
liminary combat. Behold! The man
and wife are sent against each other,
and the artist rises to the occasion. He
shows the husband holding out his Dull
cinea at arms length by her belt, and,
as he bears her a way towards a saffron
river which runs between sky-blue
banks, he has a fierce. bewhiskered JOY
on his face that invites not a pearl
tinted breeze, but a crimson hurricane
to blow through it. Meanwhile the
captured giantess, demure and sweet, has
surrendered without a murmur.
The visiting knight of the brush uses
pigments that will wash. and he says
that one of his pictures can go through
a Chinese laundry without the loss of
the natural blue tint OH a maiden's
cheek or of the delicate bronze flush of
an opening flower or leaf.

the germs of the "Divina Commedia"
must have been developing intthe brain
of Dante about that time that the event
of Which ] write is said to have taken
place. It was indeed wondrous If
those who accept the legend were
not thrilled with divine delight when
they gaze on these sacret walls. For in
that humble house was shown the
highest picture of domestic life. The
low roof re-echoed the sounds of the
carpenters mallet as he added dignity
to labor; the holy hymns of her race
made the air vibrate as the Virgin
soothed the slumbers of the Chist child;
and there also the sacred heart of the
Savior throbbed lovingly. moi for a
chosen people or a selected sect, but

that he is constantly pictured driving
a reindeer to a sled over a snOwbound

A WEIRD LEGEND OF THE

BY REV. JOHN CONWAY!

Loretto is a name familiar as Fari-
bault. 1t is more famous than Lourdes,
where lola went to think of the higher
things; it is better known than Assist,
whose st. Francis is enthroned in song
and story and legend. The nearest rail-
road approach to this far-famed Italian
shrine is from Ancona. the meanest
town in Italy. Not as dreamy as Ra-
VIENNA, once the capital of the Roman
empire; nor as dead as Pisa of the noted
graveyard; nevertheless its unmistak-
ably c~onsumptive look has a most de-
pressing effect, and the whining beg
gary of its inhabitants ill becomes the

tiers go through the local postofice and
are forwarded by Mr.. Jones and his able
assistants to the Washington dead letter
office, where, it is presumed, they are
opened by Santa Claus private secre-
tary.
An exchange which has interviewed
Mr.. Jones has found out the interesting
things here told about Santa Claus
mail.
Mr.. Jones says he never saw anything
like this years work before, and he
ought to know, for he has handled
Santa Claus mail for the past twenty
years. The letters come from all parts
OF the country. 1t is curious 20 note
that most of them come from places out
side of New York.
Santa Claus is an idol worshiped by
the rich and poor alike, as you would
very soon know if you glanced over his
mail. The letters come in all sorts of
envelopes, and ONE of them in none at
all. There are delicately tinted letters
with crests on the back from children
who plead for a pony or a carriage, and
there are the letters of another sort
from destitute little ones, who plead
with good MI. Santa Clause for a stock
Ing full of candy or a rattle for the
baby. Eighteen letters for Santa Claus
were received at the New York post
ONCE n morning. No two were
directed eXacly alike.
One letter. dated at HaverstraW, was
addressed like this on a thick, creamy
envelope:
Mr.. SANITY CLAUS,
! New YORK
CITY. {:
3: P. S.-If not called for by Xmas:
: please return. {:
This was the only m in which Mr..
Claus was addressed Familiarity. But
perhaps he and the writer are old
friends, which does not seem improba-
BILE, judging from the quality of the en-
velope and the seal on the back.
The majority Of the letters are adj
dressed strangely. There are numerous
variations in the spelling of Claus, and
not a few, probably Germans, write it
with a K. Here are two examples:
: To DEAR SANTA KLAUS, :
New York City.
This is dated from Stanfordville, n.
Y. 1t is not quite so fervant as the next:
DEAR Mr.. PoSTMAsTER-
Bring this to Dear Santa /:
: Claus.
Such a touching appeal as this the
postmaster thought he could not fail to
respond TO.
