1.-The pope spends also 1000. 900 francs
for the maintenance of free schools of
Rome. These schools are in a very flour
ishing condition, and the appropriation
for this pupose is one of those which
the pope has most at heart.
"As you can see. in this budget there
is nothing super1uous. But although
the pope's revenues are rather small,
they are sufficient to assure the carry
ing on of the principal functions of the
pontifiical and ecclesiastical govern
ment."
To this information, which was given
me by one who has the best means Of
knowing. 1 can add that the last epis-
copal jubilee of Leo XIII produced 3,000,-
600 francs. The first jubilee-that which
was celebrated five years agO-brOught
in twelve millions.
Leo XIII in the past few years has
brought about many economies in the
service of the vatican. Many people
accuse him of avarice, but it must be
remembered that economies are neces-
sary because of the decrease of reve-

A Question In Hygiene.

The Jewish authorities in Switzerland
have obtained the opinions of a large num-
Der of distinguished Psychologists and vet
Urinary surgeons on the question-from a
humanitarian and hygienic point of view,
respectively-of Strengthening animals by
the method peculiar to that race. The an
swers in response to this question have, it
appears, been unanimous in the belief that
the method in question is not more cruel
than is any other, some indeed considering
it less so.
Hygienically some of the psychologists
have further urged in its favor the hygienic
properties of the meat, which, deprived of
that factor so prone to questionable
blood-keeps longer and can, they consider,
be better dealt with by the stomach and
other organs~of digestion, and it is further
urged in this connection that the eXcretive
materials contained in the blood rapidly
give rise to chemical changes resulting il,
the production of toxic ptomaines, which
by their repeated action, injure the consti-
tuition.
The Jewish law forbids the people to eat
any other but the bloodless flesh of ami
mails which have been killed by their meth
cd of cutting the throat, in which a, single
cash divides the carotid arteries and jugu-
lar veins. 1t is also necessary that no other
lesion be produced in killing the animal;
otherwise its flesh becomes "tripha," for
hidden to be eaten. In regard to the use OF
auesthetics, the objection is urged of the
impossibility Of being certain that the ami
NAL is in the enjoyment of full vitality
and perfect health at the time Of killing

THE PeNNYRoYAL HYMN.

The operate warbler may voice her culture
rare
with Wagner. Rublnstcin and Bach, or any
highhown air,
but still her notes are lacking. they're 40 very
straight and prim
BY the side Of that old melody, the pennyroynl
hymn.
When Deacon Jones and Sister Prime In joy
full tune did blend,
With many an extra here and there and such
hearty end
The church was filled with music up TO the very
brim
When the chorus Joined the choir in that PEN
nyroyal hymn.
The palsied organ creaked and wheezed when
soaring up on
And grumbled, groaned and trembled down
along the depths of G.,
But never faltering in its work, like soldier,
stad and grim,
1t started out to wrestle with pennyroyal
hymn.
The boys would swell the rolling song to help
the deacons out,
But keen would be the ear that told just what
they sang about.
But words were never noticed, for they sang
with mighty vim,
So their aid was very welcome in that penny
royal hymn.
Oh, would those days might come again, sweet
days of long ago,
When youth lent strength to lungs and arms,
and we helped the organ blow
Few voices now seem just Alright, so dainty
and so slim,
But olden times put forth the zeal in penny
royal hymn.

The Flying Porcupine.

There is Il curious Dardistan superstition
with regard to an animal called "harginn,"
which appears to be more like II porcupine
than anything else. 1t is covered with
bristles. Its back is of n reddish brown and
the other parts of yellowish color
The animal is supposed to be very dan
gerous and to contain poison in its bristles.
At the approach of any man or animal it
: is said to gather itself up for terrific jump
INTO the air, from which it descends unto
the head of the intended victim. 1t is said
to be generally about half yard long and
a span broad. Lal Mohammad, a sanity
Akhunzada, but a regular Munchausen,
affirmed to have once met with a curious
incident with regard to that animal. He
was out shooting one day when he saw a
stag which seemed intently to look in one
direction. He fired off his gun, which, how
At last he found out what it was that the
stag was looking at. 1t turned out to be a
huge "harginn," which had swallowed a
large markhor with the exception of its
horns. There was the porcupine. out of
whose mouth protruded the head and horns
of the markhor. The Ghilgiti, on the con
trary, said that the harginn was great
snake, like big fish called nang." Per
haps harginn means a monster or dragon
and is applied to different animals in the
two countries Of Ghilghiti and Astor.--Dr.
Leitner in Asiatic Quarterly.

the temperature runs from l0l to 10 ami
the pulse from no to 1870 or over 40, and thu

and thirsty and determined to apply at n
store for something in the way Of refresh

evidently stretched out ON some sacks of
-four fast asleep.
"Hey there" I shouted, pounding and
kicking at the door. There was n sound of
shuflling feet, and soon the door swung
slowly open. An apparition in jean trou-
sers tucked into his boots, hickory shirt
and battered straw hat appeared in the
doorway and wanted to know who was
"mabin all that air rumpus anyhow
Are you the proprietor" l asked.

"Well," said l. "do you keep anything to
eat or drink in your placer"
The apparition eyed me closely, as If he
suspected me of having sinister designs on
his establishment. Then he replied:
well, as for anything to drink, you'll
have to go to the pump back in the yard.
That's all we get to drink round these
parts, 'cept of course little hard cider once
in awhile, but it's most too early for that.

ones too. How many'll you have'"
"Oh, couple" said carelessly, selecting

"Those," said the apparition, swelling
with pride, "are the very best twofers you
| can buy for miles around
"Twofers!' l replied as lit one of them
and tried in vain to make it draw.

Plant of IA Society Woman.

1--WE are coming to a pretty pass with
the young people of the present time" said
ar irate mistress the other day, land if this
state of things goes on one might as well
give up entertaining, for it seems to be the
accepted code of manners nowadays that
the modern society man should not dance
and the modern society girl should not
talk. This is combination that is not ex-
hilarating, to say the least | feel that /
could shake half the young people in my
drawing room for being such automatons.
They don't seem to think it incumbent
upon them to make the slightest effort.
They are there simply to be amused and
not to amuse others, and feel no obligation
whatever to the mistress of the house In
fact, the favor is quite ON the other side,
and although it is conventional and cor
rect to thank mistress for an entertain
ment the words are mere form, and it is
the giver of the feast who feels grateful,
not the recipient. New York Tribune.

the lady in the corner, cloves fnery and
loud colors. Then, again, a savage paints
his face--so does a woman"
Right you are-at least, my wife does"
said Snodgrass.
'Savages scalp their victims; women
snatch them baldheaded."
Fright you are. Savages can't take care
of themselves. They have to be provided
with rations and everything else they need,
and if they don't get what they want they
go on the warpath They don't differ any
thing in that respect from women. That's

their heads, and women wear whole birds. y

Mon, entered the Capital gambling house
with so bill in his mouth. Going to one

recovering himself after a few moments, he
asked the dog if he wanted a copper on the
$40. The dog barked as if in the affirmative,
so placing a copper on the money the dealer
made the turn. The queen came up a
smiling loser, and the dog won. Taking
two $40 bills in his mouth, Faro gave them

Deafness and Incorrect Articulation.

1t is suggested that the source of some
current errors of speech among those who
are not considered deaf lies in defect of
hearing. Many persons who habitually add
the sound to words ending in say that
they are unable to distinguish, for example,
between law and lor. 1t is well known
fact that many persons born deaf are mute,
not from any defect in the organs of speech,
but for the reason that, never having heard
others speak, they cannot initiate articu-
late utterance.-New York Evening Sun.
