The Pope and the Young Capmaker.

/ do not wish to leave the Vatican
without relating an anecdote of u
poetic and touching character, which
possesses also the merit of showing
the great veneration in which the
person of the holy father is held by
devout Catholics.
Aware of the fact that a perfect
traffic III the garments of his prede-
cessor was carried on some years
ago, the present pope rarely yields
to solicitations of this nature. Never
theless he is not immoyable when he
is morally certain that there is no
arriere pensee of a speculative char
acter in the request.
Not knowing to whom she should
apply and being determined at all
hazards to get something belonging
to the pope, young lady had re-
course to an ingenious and bold piece
of strategy. With her own pious
hands she made a white skull cap
precisely similar to the one that is
worn by Leo XIII. At one of the re-
cent pilgrimages she appeared be-
fore his holiness, and holding ont
her handiwork boldly asked the
good old gentleman to swap caps.
At first the pope looked astonished,
but soon his face became lighted
with kindly, paternal smile, while
the cap remaned in the outstretched
and trembling little white hand.
The pope's smile gave her courage,
and yielding to the impulse of her
ardent piety she pulled off the holy
fathers cap and presented him with
the one she had made.
Leo XIII laughed, snapped caps
with her and gave her his blessing.

Captain Hanson, of the new schooner
Spray, on her maiden voyage from the
Suislaw river, in Oregon, had lively
experience with cowboy sailors. With
six of this new variety the captain put
to sea. Hardly had he got outside when
a strong southeast gale came up. The
schooner rolled fearfully and the cow
boys became terribly sick and lay in a
heap in the forecastle perfectly helpless.
The captain and his mate succeeded in
lowering the foresail, and with the main
sail and jibs set the schooner was driven
before the gale at n terrific rate. Sew
eral seas We're shipped and one of the
cowboys was washed against the lumber
on deck, breaking his leg. When the
weather moderated the captain put into
Port Townsend, where the injured cow
boy sailor was sent to the Marine hos
pital. Two sailors were engaged and
the schooner made the trip down in
twelve days. The five cowboy sailors
have decided not to go to sea any more.

Mourning PAPER.

Mourning paper is satire in itself. It
wears the deepest possible black margin
for the first six months, say. Then it
grows little narrower. Is that sign
that you are not mourning so much as
you were during the first half year?
Next year it is narrower still. The grief
is greatly mitigated. The third year it
is mere streak. Your sorrow does not
amount to much now! The next year
the black border has entirely disap-
peared. Does that mean that you have
forgotten your bereavement? That would
be the logical Interpretation, and yet in
the case of how many whose stationery
has gone through this diminishing per-
spective to the vanishing point the sor-
row has been even more bitter after
years perhaps than it was at irst.-Bos-

Perfectly Clear.

In Doctor Persons description of life
in the southwest as he saw it many years
ago-''before the war"-he speaks often
of the peculiar turns of speech there
prevalent. He was once present at an
ecclesiastical meeting, where motions
were piled upon each other until mat
tiers were in frightful middle. Final
ly the moderator was appealed to for a
decision.
He rose from his seat, as became pre-
siding officer thus appealed to, and lift
ing his lank form till his head was
among the rafters of the low school
house he hesitated moment and then
said:
Brethren, my decision is that you are
all ahead of the hounds"
Doctor Pierson confesses that he did
not fully comprehend the meaning of
the words, but he could not help seeing
that the decision was perfectly clear and
satisfactory to the assembly.

Many wise rnothers think that the
theater should be reserved for adult life.
They regard it as a stimulant and to be
unnecessary for the growing mind. It
may be compared to those drugs which
relieve headache by affecting the heart.

her girl "a woman holy and wisen will

Grafton
There is one other class of plays which
she may some time allow for the same
reason that she cheerfully provides ro-
nance in books, and that is the real, old
fashioned melodrama in which the hero
is triumphant, the villain is brought to
justice and all comes out right in the
end. Such a treat is like the ''frolics'
at surprise parties and straw rides, which
were enjoyable because of their rarity

The ibis, the sacred bird of Egypt, is
not peculiar to that country, butts found
in considerable numbers in the south, in
Florida especially. In st. Augustine and
other coast towns it is no unusual thing
to see an ibis perched on the ridge pole
of house or stable or stalking solemnly
about a yard, for the bird is easily tanned

Gas stoves should never be used in sleep
ing rooms; they give stutfy, close feeling
which is most unpleasant, while an open
fireplace encourages ventilation, and thus
makes the air pure and fresh and is most
agreeable Children's sleeping rooms are
better without fires at night, unless the
weather is cold or very damp. They should
be lighted early, not just before bedtime

A great deal of rot about hydrophobia
is being printed in the newspapers just
now. 1t is done, we suppose, in order
not so much to scare people into having
their pet dogs licensed and muzzled as
to give the dog catchers the sort of
moral support they certainly need in the
pursuit of their infamous business. So
yarns about mad dogs and their depre-
dations are invented and published, a
great many sensitive people are terror
lied and the dog catcher drives profit
able trade. There is no truth in these
blood curdling tales. There has not
been a case of hydrophobia in Chicago
this year, and it is question whether
there actually ever has been any.-Chi-

Operating on a King.
Hartford Times:

Hartford Times:
At a time when lie Grand Mon
argue, Louis XIV, personally rep
resented to his surroundings the
kingdom iOf France and was al
most worshiped as a demigod like
the PharOahs on the Nile, that is
about 1856, the court of France was
shocked by the news that his ma
icSty suffered from a fiStula. The
surgeon advised an operation as
the only means Of cute. But that
seemed too terrible, and a dozen
things were suggested as sure to
effect a cure. The king had persons
selected that had suffered from
fiStula, and in parties of four they
had the various treatments tried
on them, but without success. So
he decided on the operation. Early
in the morning and in the greatest
secrecy the surgeons, the chief
minister of state, LuVOls,
the kings father confessor
La Chaise and his morganatic
wife, Nine. de MaintenOn, entered
the palace by different doors and
gathered in the apartments of
Louis, the royal family being in
total ignorance. The king asked
to have the use of the instruments
explained to him, and in perfect
cOmpOsure subjected himself to the
operation. There was no anBsthe-
STA in those days. The operation
was skillfully carried out by his
surgeon Felix, and a rapid recOv-
cry was made. One Of the most
remarkable points is the fees
paid by the king. The surgeon
got 100000 and country seat with
domain; his assistant received
$4,000; the first body physician of
the king, who had been present as
spectator, got $4,000; the second
who also was present, got $4,000,
and the four pharmacists, who
were there to help if necessary, re-
Ceived $1,000 each. Altogether
with the previous experiments, the
kings operation for fistula cost
the treasury of France about a
qnarter Of a million dollars, aC-
cording to present valuations.
Louis XIV. paid for good medi-
cal service when he got it.
