CHRISTMAS CONGRATULATIONS.
THE POPE SEES RUIN AND DISASTER IN
THE PRESENT STATE OF AFFAIRS IN

THE PRESENT STATE OF AFFA4ho IN
EUROPE.
ROME, December 23.-All the Cardi-
nails at present in Rome waited upon
the Pope to-day and rendered him the
Christmas congratulations. In reply to
the good wishes for the church and
himself His Holiness said that the signs
of gathering storm were visible to all
observers OF moral and religious c0ndi-
tions.
The European situation was preg-
nant with ruin and disaster, and this
condition could only be brought TO an
end by the healing virtues OF the church,
which herself was being violently as
sailed
"Ia the course Of his remarks the
pope referred to the Free MaSons,
whom be condemned IS a malignant
sect VINO were never true TO the people,
but who, unfortunately, were support
ed by the government"
His Holiness concluded by bestowing
the apostolic blessing upon the whole
world
We only refer to the clause which
speaks Of Masons, aud say he must
have been referring TO Italian Masons,
for we Americans are minding our own
business, and consequently are on the
best of terms with his church here.

A Dance wi.heu. . Smile.

They have singular kind Of dance
conducted on the greens of country vii
lagos in Russia. The dancers stand
apart, a knot of young men here, knot
of maidens there. each sex by itself, and
silent as crowd of .mutes A piper
breaks into tune, a youth pulls off his
cap and challenges his girl with wave
and bow. If the girl is willing, she
waves her handkerchief in token Of as
sent. The youth advances, takes a cor
ner of the handkerchief in his hand and
leads his lassie round and round.
No word is spoken, and no laugh is
heard. Stiff with cords and rich with
braids the girl moves heavily by herself,
going round and round, and never al
lowing her partner to touch her hand.
The pipe goes droning on for hours in
the same sad key and measure, and the
prize of merit in this ''circling." as the
dance is called. is given by spectators to
the lassie who in all that summer revelry
has never spoken and never smiled

what he called "fussing around" We had
an instance Of it while sitting on the porch

Origin of the Peach.

Nothing is now more universally ac-
cepted than the fact that the peach is an
improved variety of the almond. Tho
almond has a thin shell around tho
stone, which splits open and shows the
stone when mature. This outer skin
has simply become fieshy in the peach,
30 that it is all that gives it its specific
character. It seems now clear from in
vestigation in the history of ancient
Babylon that in their gardens, nearly
1000 years ago, the peach was cultivated
then as it now is.
1t must have been many years before
this that the peach was improved from
the almond, and this fact goes to show
the great antiquity of the fruit. Possibly
gardening in some respects, at least SO
far as it relates to many of our cultivated
fruits, was as far advanced 5000 or 5000
or perhaps 10000 years back as it is to-
day.
Phenicians, many thousands of years
ago, as is proved by the records, had in
their gardens almonds, apricots. bananas,
citrons, figs, grapes, olives, peaches,
pomegranates; and even sugar cane was
in extensive cultivation. Certainly this
shows how far advanced these nations
were in garden culture many years ago.

Hair as a Cleansing Agent.

That the hair covering the body OF
an animal or the head of human be.
ing serves the purposes of warmth and
protection is manifest, but one would
hardly expect to find that it also acts
as cleansing agent. This, however,
appears to be the fact. The minute
scales which cover the outer portion OF
hair are fastened at one edge and free
ut the other, and the free edges lie in
the direction away from the skin. The
surface of a hair, therefore, is like that
of a piece of fur or cloth covered with
nap; rubbed from root to tip it is
found to be smoother when rubbed in
the opposite direction. This being the
case, it is evident that particles of
matter in contact with the hair must
find their direction of easiest motion
to lie toward the tip end of the hair
and away from its root. SO, by virtue
of the peculiar structure of its surface
the hair serves gradually to remove
from the skin which it covers all for.
eign particles which may have found
lodgment there. The oily secretion
emanating from the follicles of the
hair probably assists this action by
gathering up the fine particles of ex.
traneous dust and of scales from the
skin, and thus enabling the hair to re-
tain them, SO to speak, in the grasp of
its curious system of brushes. Every
movement of the hair, however pro.
duced, must tend to set the particles
sticking upOn IL in motion, and. az we
have already seen, that motion can be
in only one direction. New York

The most important contest now on
the cards is the proposed match be-
tween Jack Dempsey, the etstwhile
NCnpariel, and Mysterious Billy Smith,
OF Boston, who recently found himself
on the top rung OF the ladder OF popu-
larity by defeating decisively In two
rounds the m~uch-vaunted American
Champion, Tom Williams. This match
will bring into the ring again the most
popular fighter in the world, bar John
l.. Sullivan.
Dempsey, although twice defeated.
has lost nose Of bis popularity, and the
pal In a fstic contest at the Coney ISL
and Athletic Club will be enough to
pack that edifce to the doors, especial
" when it is coupled with that OF Mys-
terious Billy.
The opinion is general that Jack has
de~teriorated very considerably since
his defeat by elongated Bob Fitzsim-
mons and there are many shakes OF the
head whe owner OF the aforesaid head
thinks Of the great strength and supe-
rior youthfulness of the man OF mYs-
terry.
Still there are any number Of others
who think that Jack can defeat P y
man In the world at his proper weight.
The match will undoubtedly be a great
drawing card, and there are a number
Of Philadelphlans who will travel to a
Seaside Club to see Dempsey perform
again.
