It is quite possible that the council of state may decide that it is unable to accept the legacy, in which case it will be offered to the Institute of Milan first, and upon the inability of the latter institution to accept it, it will be offered to other institutes

IN reply to the wheat and four cir cular of the department of state, Charles N. Daily consul at Guelph. Ont, reports the people there are ready to buy American flour if it can be sold as cheap and of as good quality as the domestic. Bakers use hard wheat flour of the best quality, and families the best grade of fall wheat flour. No American flour or American wheat was imported in 1891, 1892 and 1893. The obstacle to the use of American flour is the duty of 75 cents per barrel on American flour. John s. Derby, United States consul at St Johns. N. B., makes similar report as to the Dominion tariff.

The Greatest Medical Discovery
 of the Age.
 KENNEDY'S MEDICAL DISCOVERY.
DONALD KENNEDY, OF ROxDuRY, MASS,

Has discovered in one of our common pasture weeds remedy that cures every kind of Humor, from the worst Scrotula down to common Pimple.
 He has tried it in over eleven hundred cases, and never failed except in two cases (both thunder humor). He has now in his possession over two hundred certificates of its value, all within twenty miles Of Boston.
 A benefit is always experienced from the first bottle, and perfect cure is war ranted when the right quantity is taken.
 When the lungs are affected it causes shooting pains, like needles passing through them; the same with the Liver or Bowels. This is caused by the ducts being stopped, and always disappears in week after taking it.
 If the stomach is foul or bilious it will cause squeamish feelings at first.
 No change of diet ever necessary. Eat the best you can get, and enough Of T. Dose, one tablespoonful in water at bed time. Read the Label. Send for Book.

IMPROVING THE EYES.
Country Life Said to he the Best
Antidote for Poor Vision.
pitfchuro ChronicTa- TeleOranh

1t is satisfactory to be told by Mr.. Ellis
that blindness in England is slowly de-
creasing," though Great Britain still stands
in this respect behind two other European
countries and three more come before Ire
land. Shortsightedness, however, appears
to be increasing everywhere, Germany hav-
ing signal and sinister pre-eminence in
this respect.
A French doctor has noted the remark
able fact that wild beasts caught quite
young or born in captivity become short
sighted, the conclusion being that the eye
adapts itself to it's habitual sphere of Wis
ion, and unless educated" to use Mr..
Elliss term, to see objects at distance,
loses the capacity of SO doing. Even in
after life the eye may be, to some extent,
so educated, though probably only when
the myopia is not considered.
1t is thus within the experience of the
present writer, says the London Specta-
tor that his sight greatly improved, in
days gone by, when he became a volun-
teer, by practice at the butts, so that,
while at first he could not see the target
10 shoot at without spectacles, at 300
yard range, after twelve-month or so.
he only needed TO put on spectacles at 400
yards. But beyond that range he was never
able to dispense with them.
Country excursions are, therefore, eX-
tremely valuable as means of strength
the conductors of such excursions should
take pains TO direct the eyes OF the chill
dren to distant objects-to the furthest
hill, church tower or other landmark
noting, If possible, any incapacity to dis
Germ the selected object, and then select
ing some nearer one for the weaker
sighted.

BRAZIL, Ind, Jan. 1.-THE block coal

session here to-day and the main object
was to discuss the reduction of the miners
wages and make an effort to secure a re-
duction In freight rates over the Chicago
d Indiana Coal road and Chicago & East
ern Illinois to Chicago. At present the
rate from this city is s1.101z per ton, while
the rate from Clinton, only a short dis
lance north, is only 20 cents per ton. This
the operators consider unjust discrimina-
ton and will insist the railroad COM
panies equalizing rates Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania and Illinois operators have reduced
wages, 1t is said, in some instances TO 40
and 90 cents a ton. In this district the
operators are under contract to pay so
cents until May /. Unless by the consent
of the miners they can free themselves
from the agreement, there will virtually
be work in the mines until May.
prominent miner in speaking OF the situa-
ton said: IL believe that If a vote was
taken two-thirds of the miners would vote
to accept a reduction If they would be as
sured steady work.
Chicago is the great market for this dis
trict, but with reduced wages in Illinois
and $1.101a tariff from Brazil against
20 cents from points N Illinois, 1t Is out
of the question for Indiana coal operators
to talk of finding a sale for their coal at

ators get Most of the mines are now do

Another Attack OH "Vice Pope and Lord
Paramount of the Republic"

BUFFALO, n. Y, Jan. u.-Bishop A.
Cleveland Coke, of the diocese of Western
New York, has addressed a fifth open let
ter to Mgr. Satolli. After comenting at
length on the writings of eminent Roman
Catholics concerning the Jesuits, Bishop
Coke closes as follows: I'VE have heard
much Dragging at Chicago, where your
friends have claimed everything that Chris
tianity has accomplished in the universe.
and great pains have been taken to adver-
tise such boasting to the whole land and
to foreign nations. You also have told them
that America treats you and your bishops
like sovereign princes and, it is inferred
that the Nation is just ready to proclaim
you from the top obelisk at Washington
as vice Pope and lord paramount of the
Republic. You and Mr.. Sheehan and the
faction that now raises a foreign flag on
public buildings in the great city of New
York have resolved on 'foreigniZing the
country That is now the greatest nation
al concern. Shall Ii be decided now, or
shall it go on until it breeds a social war;
till this Nation becomes like Mexico and
perishes I'm a perpetual fight of factions?

Is a mortal sin, according to Jesuit ideas
and Brownson would have died in the in
quisition if Jesuits could have had their
way"

MAY BE CHOSEN POPE
MonSignOr JacObini in Training
as LeO's Successor.
Will Probably Be Elected Cardinal by
the Next COnsistOry-AFa vOrite with
Catholic Ecclesiastics.

ROME, Jan. 11.-Nothing has as yet been
decided as regards the date of the next con-
sistory. Regarding the succession 10 the
papacy, Monsignor Jacobin is well thought
of. He is not a cardinal as yet, but his high
qualities have attracted the attention and
won him the sympathies of an important
faction of the ecclesiastical senate, which
desires TO see him admitted to their ranks,
precisely In order to prepare his candidature
for the papacy. 1t WILL therefore, be of in
terest TO make. known the character and the
nature of the merits of this future cardinal,
who may some day, providing circumstances
prove favorable, occupy the chair of ST.
Peter.
Monsignor Domino Jacobini, titular arch
bishop of the year, was born in Rome on
the 18th day Of September, 1887, of modest
parentage. He studied at the pontifical
seminary, in the neighborhood of the
Church Of st. Apollinarius where he sub
sequently filled the Greek chair, and took
on the functions of project. He then
went to the Propaganda Eide, where he
acted in the capacity of archivist and min
utante of the United States, Canada, East
India and China. In 1876 he was inscribed as
one of the Popes domestic chaplains. Later
on he filled in succession the important
traordinary ecclesiastical affairs, and of
the librarian Of the holy church. In 1882
The present Pope returned him to the Prop
uganda Eide comforting upon him the title
Of secretary, having year previously
promoted him titular Archbishop of Tyre.
Mgr. Jacobini is an ecclesiastic of ire
proachable habits of life, who has more
especially distinguished himself by the range
and the variety OF his learning. He is emf
nently gifted with that foresight and finesse
which, according to a celebrated writer
makes of the Italians nation of diplo-
mates. He does not belong to the class OF
prelates who desire to see the church re-
main in close control with systems no
longer in harmony with modern thoughts
On the contrary, he has grasped exigencies
of modern times, and has neglected nothing
which could prove of practical necessity to
the church or place her in a position to
maintain her rights. For close on two
years Mgr. Jacobini has filled the post of
papal nuncio at Lisbon where he has in
gratiated himself In high political circles,
and more especially at court He is very
popular throughout Portugal.
