sified. Each year since 1881, with but
few exceptions. financial destruction has
been prevented by the sale of farm

Economical Celery Soup.

Many families of small means look upon
celery IS luxury. The greenish half
blanched stalks of the cheap bunch really
are not very good eating, and the fine,
white large crisp bunch costs too much for

there is an economical way of treating the
large bunch OF best celery which makes it
cheap. Use the finer portions of the crisp
stalks rs relish. An the tough portions
and the root carefully cleaned are to be cut
fine, covered with cold water and cooked
slowly till nearly the whole can be rubbed
through strainer. Half an hour before
dinner heat this liquid celery with an equal
quantity of any kind of meat broth you
happen to have in the house, and then add
one pint of hot milk thickened like a white
sauce, with two tablespoonfuls each of but
ter and -four cooked together Season with
salt. If you have no broth after your soup

Peters Pence.


- ecstom of so ancient date in the Cath
olic Uorld that it runs back to the days
when civilization was young is the annual
contribution of Peters pence, or tribute
to the pope. One day in each year in all
the Catholic churches throughout the
world a contribution is taken up, the pro-
ceeds of which are sent to the pope. He
uses the money for defraying the expenses
of the administration of affairs in the holy
see.
The custom Of collecting Peters pence"
or Rome scot" as it is sometimes called
is of ancient origin Centuries ago it was
first observed by the English people, trib
ute then being levied to the extent of a
penny for every house, payment being
made about Aug of each year.
The pence was first n tribute offered to
the Roman pontiff in reverence to the mem
DRY of st. Peter, whose successor the pope
is believed by Roman Catholics to be. The
first idea appears TO have come from Eng
land. 1t is ascribed by some to Ina, king of
the West Saxons, who in A. d. 12l went as
q pilgrim to Rome and there founded a
hospital for Anglo-Saxon pilgrims to be
maintained by an annual contribution from
England.
Others say the honor is due to Offa and
Ethelwulf at least in the sense of their hay-
ing extended the custom to the entire Saxon
territory.
The tribute consisted then in the pay
ment of silver penny by every family who
possessed land or cattle of the yearly value
of thirty pence. 1t was collected during
the five weeks between St. Peter and St.
Paul's day and Aug. l. Since the total an
nexation OF the papal states to the king
dom of Italy this tribute has been largely
increased in France, Belgium, England and
Ireland When Ina, king of the SaXons, in
augurated the custom now time honored Il
penny yearly was the amount collected
from each person.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

will soon be in general use. They are
made Of watermarked cream tinted paper
of equivalent weight and quality to the

is an embossed design representing a

those on the current series of envelopes.
At the right and left of the center OF the
stamp are raised proiles of Columbus

faces is the figure Of an eagle with out
stretched wings, and above is shield

A WONDERFUL INVENTION,

The telautograph is one of the most
wonderful inventions of the age. 1t is
an electrical continuance which enables .
man to sit down to an instrument in one
place and transmit over wire written
message in his own handwriting to some
one many miles distant. In sending the
message the operator uses an ordinary
lead pencil, near the point of which you
see two silk ends are fastened at right
angles to each other. These ends con-
meet with the instrument and following
the motion of the pencil the operator
writes, regulates its movements, and
pencil repsoauces the message at the
sssh,sa.ueusus
receiving station in fac-simile Of his hand.
writing. Drawings Of persons and things
can also be sent by telautograph, and it
can transmit straight away message
about 500 miles. Every man having an
instrument can be his own operator.

SENATOR'S WITH A BAD RECORD.

Some of the New York papers recently
made serious charges against Senator
Roach of North Dakota. accusing him OF
the crime of ENLIGHTENMENT few years
ago. Senator Hoar believed the matter
should be investigated and called the at
tention of the Senate to the charges
1t is reported that the friends Of Senator
Roach will bring counter charges against
other Senators and an ugly fight, full Of
personalities, will be opened up. If the
matter is pressed the debate promises to
be the most sensational for years.
Roach's friends say the charges against
one Of the Senators from Maine are of
the most scandalous character and were
published in the papers Of the. town where
he resided, yet the Senate did not inves-
tigate them. They refer also to the
charges of bribery against railroad SEN
ator from Illinois, and a corporation Sen
ator from Pennsylvania, placarded by the
New York World as a bank embezzler,
and against Senator from Oregon who
went West after an indictment was found
against him and changed his name to
avoid arrest, not one Of which charges
were investigated by the Senate. Alto.

A BERLIN tailor has invented a cloth
cuirass which he claims will resist small
bullets. The German war department
has approved the cuirass and it was test.
cd few days ago. Uniforms Of the new
cloth placed on wooden effigies were not
pierced by bullets shot from points 100,
200 or 800 meters distant. At shorter
range the wooden figures were indented,
though the cloth was not pierced, and
the officers concluded the force Of the
impact was sufficient to stun man. The
prepared uniform weighs six pounds.
The invention has caused quite sensa-
ton in European military circles, espe.
cially in France. Several years ago an
Austrian made similar cuirass and sub.
mitted it for inspection TO the military
authorities. The Emperor Francis Joseph
examined the cuirass and disapproved it.
On learning the result the inventor made
some remarks not complimentary to his
majesty, for which he wan sentenced to q
months imprisonment
