looks very fair. May fields, how

A Great Discovery.

William Gilbert, who lived during
the reign of Queen Elizabeth, was the
most distinguished English scientist
of his time. He was physician of
great skill and had an extensive prac-
tice, but found time to pursue studies
not directly connected with his profes.
sion. Magnetism received much atten-
ton from him and he wrote Latin
treatise on this subject which gave him
enduring fame. The theories advanced
in it were new and most of them cor
rect. The one of greatest Importance
was that the whole earth Is itself moth
ing but large magnet and that it is
tins which explains both the direction
of the magnetic needle north and south
and the variation and dipping or incli-
nation of the needle. This was before
Gilberts time never suspected, and he
is therefore to be credited with hav-
ing made discovery which marks an
era in the history of magnetic science.
Fuller included Gilbert among the "Wor-
thies of England" and predicted truly
how he would be afterward saved from
oblivion. "Mahomot's tomb at Mecca"
he says, sis said strangely to hang mp,
attracted by some ! ,isible loadstone,
but the memory of this doctor will new
er fall to the ground which his inccm-
parable book, DE Magnetic will sup
port to eternity. CHICAGO News.

Sharpening Knives.

The itinerant knife-sharpener is not
q good man to trust with finely-tem-
pered or really good knife. His father
used to carry round a good supply of
water, and with this he kept his wheel
wet, so that it could not possibly heat
or destroy the temper of the knife
That this is necessary can be testified
to by anyone who has tried to sharpen
knife on stone without either water
or oil to moisten it; and the farmer
would never dream of rubbing his
scythe with dry milestone. But the
modern itinerant knife-sharpener does
not use water at all. He sharpens the
knife on the dry stone, and by means
of little rubbing he gets a feather
edge which has every appearance OF
sharpness, but which breaks off the
first time the knife is used, leaving a
ragged edge much worse than before
the muddler took hold of it. To sharp
en- knife properly it is necessary to
keep the stone wet all the time, and
any arguments to the contrary are the
result of desire to save trouble and

AVAILABILITY OF THE POPE.

The Meaning and Limitations of That
Dogma Explained by n Catholic Writer.
Papal infallibility is defined by Cath.
Ole theologans to be supernatural
assistance of the holy ghost, whereby
the pope, as the head OF the whole
church, is preserved free from error,
whenever he defines doctrine that be.
longs to the faith or morals. Hence the
reader will easily understand that, in
Catholic theology an infallible pope
does not mean one gifted with inspira-
ton or commissioned to reveal to the
Catholic world new dogmas. The gift
of inspiration is chiefly positive, while
the gift of infallibility is negative; in.
fallibility is only an assistance securing
the pope from the possibility of de.
claring error to be truth and truth en-
ror.
Moreover, all Catholic theologians
agree in denying the existence of any
new Catholic revelation after the time
of the apostles The special assistance
of the holy ghost is given to the pope
for the only purpose of preserving, ex-
planning, and defending the revelation
already made to and through the
apostles. Nor does an infallible pope
mean one who is confirmed in the hap
Ply state of sanctifying grace, and who,
therefore, is sinless or can not sin.
Impeccability and infallibility are
two gifts entirely distinct. Impecca-
bility is gift of the will, infallibility
is gift of the understanding; impec-
cability implies permanent gift that
makes the receiver agreeable to God,
and is given chiefly for the good of the
person that receives it; while infalli-
bility is a transitory gift, gratuitously
given for the good of the universal
church, and only then when the pope,
as it's supreme doctor, is teaching the
church.
Hence an infallible pope can not be
said to be one who can never err in his
private conversation or teachings or who
cannot make any mistake in politics,
government, etc. For the gift of in
fallibility, as held by the Catholics, be.
longs to the pope only in his official
capacity as supreme teacher of the
church, and only when, in virtue of his
apostolic power, he defines q doctrine
that belongs to faith or morals. This
and no other is the subject matter OF
the pope's infallible teaching. Rev. s.
j. Brandt, in North American Review

WOMAN RIDING MASTER.
She illustrates Her Teachings by Her owa
Fine Performance.

Fine Performance.
London has woman riding master,
Mrs. Hayes, who insists, notwith-
standing the traditional supremacy OF
the English womans horsemanship,
that you rarely see an English woman
sitting gracefully and firmly in her
saddle, and that French women are
really the more graceful equestriennes.
Mrs. Hayes teaches in modest boyish
costume without skirt, and takes
fve.foot gate on her lively charger
without holding her reins at all Her
theory is that n riding master can not
teach woman to set we'll on side
saddle because he doesn't know how
himself except theoretically. She Is
taught to rely first and foremost on her
reins, when it is not her reins at all
that save her when her horse SHES or
falls. The reins should never be given
to the pupil at all until she is perfectly
secure in her seat, and has learned that
it is the grip on the crutches of the sad
die by the muscle of the knees and
ankles that gives her the firm scat.
The reins arc simply to guide the horse.
The stirrup should be shortened until
the knee presses firmly against the
leaping head. 1t is to teach the posi-
ton of the legs that Mrs. Hayes rides
| in the boys dress, and when n woman
learns to use these members properly,
Mrs. Hayes claims that her seat is more
natural. more graceful and more secure
than if she rode astride. This lady
riding master is daring rider, ac-
cepting most vicious mounts with fear
lessness, and stopping short of moth
ing, not even zebra, in her expert
ments.
On one occasion when they brought
her wild zebra from the menagerie in
a cage, she tanned the creature in two
lessons so that he was sufficiently sub
dued to stand, with her on his back,
while the pair were photographed. N.
