rifles; 1873 cartridges, II horses, and four

The following is the full text of the
passage in the recent address of the
Comte de Nun before the Roman Catho-
lie congress at Toulouse, which attracted
so much comment: The great preocou-
patton of the moment is socialism.
There are two solutions-concentra
with the capitalists and concentration
with the people. To wish to act with
the Jews and the financiers is to prepare
the coming Of socialism, the excuses
of which cannot be foreseen. At the
risk of appearing to stand quite alone
and of seeming extravagant, l will say
that what must be protected is not CAPT
tai, but labor. We must not let it be
supposed that the church is a cassocked
policeman let loose on the people in the
sole interest of capital. On the con-
trary, it should be clearly understood
that it acts in the interest and for the
defense of the weak. Let the people
once know this, and convince them that
the church is not made solely for the
rich, and we shall then have little more
do, and the holy fathers wish will be
realized. Say that to them again and
again. Speak often of the social action
of the church.

The Other Dear Charmer.

Esmerelda Cervantes, the harpist, who
is on terms of intimate friendship with
the different members OF the Spanish
royal family, shat Princess Isabella,
Hulalia's eldest sister, did not come
to America instead of Eulalia. She is
one of the most admirable and accom-
plished women ever knew. Hers is
indeed noble charaoteg, She is a
widow and deyoteS herself to good
works and the arts. She is q thorough
musician and is the author of some very
fine musical compositions. 1t would
really be difficult to fancy Two people
more totally url Hike. than are these two
royal sisters. Neither do they look
alike, as you can see by their photo-
graphs" and Mile, Ceryantes produced
two inscribed pictures, one very good
likeness of lnfanta Eulalia and the
other representing sweet, dignifed,
refined woman, somewhat older but
much handsomer. princess Isabella

Mile. Cervantes. Had she come here
she would have won golden opinions
for herself and the Spanish people.

They Are Numerous in France and Some
Have Married Rich Customers.
A custom is rapidly gaining ground
in France, and especially in Toulon
and certain other towns, which, it may
safely be prophesied, will not find
much imitation in this country. This
is the employment of women as street
shoeblaclls.
The French women shoeblacks are
most coquettishly gotten up, and as to
their caps and frills have somewhat
the appearance of hospital nurses, and
it is surprising that though their occu-
patton is tolerably dirty one they al
ways seem clean and tidy; some of
them are doing the polishing in gaunt-
let gloves.
In the towns in which they are en-
ployed they certainly are success Pc
cuniarily, especially where English
and American visitors, who generally
seem to treat the whole affair as a good
joke, are numerous.
1t is said that one reason for the oc-
eupation being q popular one among
women of certain grade in life is that
many of the fair polishers have mar
ried opulent customers who have been
impressed by their shining qualities.

THE MILE IN VARIETY.

There Are Four Different Kinds in Eng
disappearing Countries Alone.
English-speaking countries have four
different miles-the ordinary mile of
$3.50 feet and the geographical or
nautical mile of 6,0S5, making a diff
ference of about one-seventh between
the two; then there is the Scotch mile
of 5,92S feet and the Irish mile of 6,720
feet; four various miles, every one of
which is still in use. Then almost
every country has it's own standard
mile, says the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat. The Romans had their mil pas
SUM, 1000 PAGES, which must have
been about 5000 feet in length, unless
we ascribe to Caesars legionaries great
stepping capacity. The German mile
of to-day is 24,31S feet in length, more
than four and a half times as long as
our mile. The Dutch, the Danes and
the Prussians enjoy mile that is 49,
440 feet long, three and one-half times
the length of ours; and the Swiss get
more exercise in walking one of their
miles than we get in walking five
miles, for their mile is 9,153 yards
long, while ours is only 1,760 yards.
The italian mile is only few feet
longer than ours; the Roman mile is
shorter, while the Tuscan and the
Turkish miles are 15O yards longer.
The Swedish mile is 7,341 yards long,
and the Vienna post mile is s,796 yards
in length. So, here is list of twelve
different miles, and besides this there
are other measures of distance, not
counting the French lxilometer, which
Is rather less than two-thirds of mile.
The Brazilians have a militia that is
Dne and one-fourth times as long as
Dur mile; the Neapolitan miglio is
about the same length; the Japanese
RI, or mile, is two and one-half times
ours; the Russiant verst is five-eighths
as long as our mile, while the Persian
standard is a fesakh, four and half
miles long, which is said to be equal to
the parasang so familiar to the readers
of Xenophon's "Anabasis." The league
that is familiar to readers of French
and Spanish books varies just as does
the mile. In Brazil it is three and
four-fifths miles long, in France it was
three miles, in Spain it was two and
two-thirds miles, and once on time
in England it was two and half miles
long,

WHEN MY SHIP COMES IN.

Uncle often tells us stories
OF ship he has at sea,
And the wonders and the glories,
If we're good, for Tom and me:
And dream that somewhere sailing
Is q gallant bark Of mine,
With the soft wind never failing,
And the weather always fine.
Obi the bells will all be ringing
With merry, tuneful din.
The birds will all be singing,
When my ship comes inl
She is bringing gifts for mother,
And for father and the boys,
And my little baby brother
Shall be smothered deep in toys;
Her hold is full of treasure
From the islands of the main,
And her fairy crew at leisure
Are sailing home again.
Obi the pleasure past all rhyming,
And the joy that will begin,
When all the bells are Ginning,
And my ship comes inl
There are storms and sudden dangers
Hiding cruelty around,
Where just such ocean rangers
AS my fairy bark are found
Blow, breath of heaven, behind her,
And guide her safely home,
And some day shall find her
Ny ship from o'er the foam
Obi the birds will all be singing
When her crew the haven win;
The bells will all be ringing
When my ship comes in!
